never left their roof-for the father
was a brute.
The fear of him, the dread Of his
words and blows, both tor herself and
as she grew older-for her white

and Swallowed every instant of her
life.
The tragedy went on and deepen.

died, weeping, bitterly that she must
leave her young daughter to suffer
alone. And troubles had seemed

severer, and the world darker to the
poor child. Many time had the
brute kicked her ont Of the w.otched
shanty-all the home she knew and
many time she had hung around the
door until he had fallen into drunk

AnImnnrfami necision.

The case of Martin Shea VS.. J. A.
Mabry and others, decided in the Su-
preme Court yesterday, is one that
has been in the courts several years.
Mr.. Shea was a contractor on the
Knoxville and Ohio railroad.
When he had performed the work,
the officers of tie Company had no
money to pay him. The amount sued
for was $40, 900 or thereabouts. He
filed bill in the Chancery Court to
hold the President and Directors of
the road Individually liable, alleging
that they had used large amount of
money, more than sufficient to pay his
debt in lobbying with the Legislature
for the purpose ofsecuring the passage
of bill granting additional State aid.
He gained his suit, and judgment was
rendered against the President, Gen.
J. A. Mabry, and all the Directors who
voted for the expenditure complained
OF, for the amount of Mr.. Shea's debt
and costs.
