THE FLANAGAN CASE.
Supreme Court Anrms the

The Supreme Court Aft1rms the
Judgm ent of the City Court.
The verdict of the jury in the case of
Flanagan VS.. the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, which was before the
snnreme court. resulted in a judgment
affirming that of the city court.
The suprems court, in passing upon the
case, held that the declaration alleging that
tbe locomotive was not supplied with the
nroper brakes. and evidence respecting the
brakes by comparison with those of other
locomotives, was admissible evidence. That
evidence tending to show the speed of the
train at the time of a negligent homicide,
occurring upon public street, is not irrele-
vent as the speed of the train on the COM
nanv's property before reaching the street
is relevant.
That it was not error to receive evidence
of doubtful admissbiity, but such was the
character of the evidence showing the high
speed at which the engine was run by the
e9glneer at the same place, and that he
Labitually neglected to ring the bell
That it was admissible to prove that the
engines of the company were run more
slowly along the street after the killing of
Flanagan.
That the charge of the court was con-
strued as a whole, free from substantial err
ror upon the material points, that the court
stated facts, or his opinion upon facts, and
dealt only with admitted or conceded mat
ters, and the court, c. j. Bleckley, decid-
ing, concludes its Judgment as follows:
Inasmuch as the instructions warranted the
iury in deducting not only necessaries but the
cost Of luxurieS, from the value of the life of
the husband, the rule of damages was quite as
favorable TO the company as that suggested in
Central railroad VS.. Rouse, n Ga. 1893, if not
more favorable.
The fact t1at the husband killed by the run
ming of the company's loco motive was one of
the employees of the company, would not pre-
clude his widow from recovering damages,
though he may have been in some degree negli-
gent the homicide occurring on public street,
remote from the place at which the deceased
rendered service TO the company. and at time
when he was off duty and had no concern with
the business affairs of the company.
Messrs. Chisholm q Erwin represented
the defendant and Denmark & Adams the
plaintiff The case went up on bill of
exceptions by defendant, but the court
above sustained all the material points in
plaintiffs declaration and testimony.

Robert Jones (colored) swore out a war
rant yesterday in Justice McDermott's
court against Mack Williams for larceny
from the person. Jones said that he had
been out beyond the Central railroad to
carry his wife's dinner when he came up
with Williams Having worked at the
Ocean Steamship wharf together, Jones
said that he stopped and had a talk with
Williams. The two came on to the CITY
together Before reaching here Jones said
he missed his pocketbook, which he carried
in bis vest pocket He stopped and told
Williams that he had lost it.
"Oh, never mind; come on; you haven't
lost anything" was Williams reply. Jones
suspected Williams of taking it then, and
followed him up closely when they got into
the city. Jones said that he followed him
expecting when they met policeman to
have Williams arrested. They did not meet
one, however, and after following Williams
about over Yamacraw until Williams de-
manded to know why he did so, Jones left
him and went to the magistrates office and
swore out the warrant Constable Lee went
with Jones to Williams house, and they
found their man.
Williams denied having taken the money
but on the way to the office he tried to
settle with Jones and squelch the matter by
paying him 50. Jones said that Williams
was remarkably friendly on the way to
town and rubbed up against him all the
way. He said that his pocketbook stuck
out of his vest pocket, and he thinks that
Williams slipped it out while he was exhib-
iting his friendship. Two dollars and
seyentn-fve cents were found in Williams
pocket, and Jones said he recognized the
money as his Williams said that he and
Jones had been playing ''sociable" game
of cards and that Jones got drunk and lost
some money. He said that he won 35
cents from Jones, but Jones said that he
