Counties Where Accidents Occur.
ATLANTA, Ga, June S.-Anp important
ruling was made in tbs city court by Judge
Howard Van Epps to-day. If the supreme

next friend of Wiley Williams minor. We.
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company. The counsel for the
defense pleaded that the city court of
Fulton county had no jurisdiction
because the railway company was
a foreign corporation to Georgia, and that
an action for damages against that railroad
must be brought in the county where the
accident occurred. Judge Van Epps
sustained the point made by the railroads.
attorneys, and as stated the case will go to
the supreme court. Under this decision, II
it is sustained by the supreme court, when
ever damage suit is brought against any

county in which the accident occurred. The
position taken by the defense was that the
East Tennessee road had no principal office
III Georgia, but had two Offices one In At
lauta and the other in Macon with division
superlntendents, both with equal power. If
a suit could be brought against the railroad
in Atlanta il could be brought In Macon.

The Life of the Railroad Commission
Hinges on the Result.
ATLANTA, GA, June 8.-Argument was
concluded in the injunction case Of the
Richmond and Danville railroad against
the Georgia railroad commission in the
United States court this morning. The case
is the outcome of an effort on the part of
the railroad commi sion to enforce what is
known as the joint rate circular. The Dan
vile refused to comply with it, and secured
a temporary injunction to prevent the COM
mission from enforcing the penalty. The
case concluded to-day was on the applica.
ton for permanent injunction. The case is
vital to the existence OF the railroad
commission, as unless it is sustained, 1t will
be pow erless to make rates and enforce
them. Strong speeches were made by
Judge Allen Fort and Attorney General w.
A Little for the commission. Judge New
man has taken the case under advisemenb
and his decision will not be delivered
for some days. The supreme court Of the
United States will, In all probability, have
