An Important Suit Decided In the U. g.
Court Affecting Minors and Parents.
Special Tk0rom TO he Register.
MARTINsBURG, W. VA, October 21.-
In the United States Court, now in session
in this city, the cases of John Wendell
Martin vs. the B. & o. Railroad, in an &C.
tioa of tTespass on the case for 81, 995 dam
ages. and J. Wilson Martin, his son, vs.
the B. & o. Railroad, in like action for
$40, 600 damages, have attracted more than
unusual attention.
Judge Hugh L. Bond rendered a very
important and fAr-reacbing decision, which
will necessarily affect the rights of almost
every employe of the B. 60. Railroad.
In the fret case, which was q suit by a
father for compensation for injuries re-
ceived by his infant son through the neg
ligence of the agents of the company, it
was shown in defense that the father had
signed contract consenting TO the en-
ployment of the son and releasing the
company from any responsibility for dam
ages caused by negligence Of it's agents at
the time son WAS employed. The court
held this as good plea and bar to any
right OF recovery on behalf of the father.
In the second case, which was suit in
the name of the son, for damages, for in
juries received by him, because Of the neg
ligence of the sgents of the company. The
same plea was flied, to which the plaintiff
rendered a replication, setting up the in
fancy of the plaintiff at the time of his
signing the original contract, and also at
the time of signing the releases after the
injury. This replication was rejected by
the Court, as not presenting any defense 10
the plea of release. The Court held that
it was a contract beneficial to the infant,
and one which after it become executed
could be enforced. It further held that
the Railroad Company had legal right by
contract to limit lis liability for injuries
received by it's employees, caused by the
negligence of its sgeots-to waive recovery
of the benttits provided under the rules
and regulations of the B. & o. Relief As
sociatiou.
An appeal to the Supreme Court will be
taken in the last case. The amount not
beiDg sufficient in the first, no appeal will
be taken.
This decision is Of especial importance
to West Virginis, on account Of the large
number of employees engaged throughout

Weekly markets are held al which the
slaves are boljly exposed 10 the gsze o.
intending buyers, and in many cases each
slave carries placard suspended from his
neck upon which is written the price at
which he can be bought. The women are
not usually ticketed in this way, but are
sold for what they will fetch, the ordinary
price being from GO to elO each II they
are Young. The merchants who carry on
the traffic are all Arabs, bat II appears %

firm Of traders, every member Of which
halls from Eogland, furnish all the capital
