IN THE COURTS.

In the case of Thomas II. Brasin vs. the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad company, called in the circuit court yesterday, Judge Banks sustained the demurrers to the complaint and gave judgment for the defendant. On the 14th of June, 1894, Brasin was employed by the Tanner Coal company. He was loading coal into some cars stand ing on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham track, when train ran against the car he was on. The jar was so great that Braslin fell between the cars. The wheels ran over him, cutting off one leg.
 In the complaint it is alleged that the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham Railroad company was under contract to furnish cars in good condition to the Tanner Coal company, aud that a defective car was the cause of the plain tiff's injury.
 Suit was brought against the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham company for SIG, 1000 damages.
 The defendant demurred to the com plant on the ground that the plaintiff was entitled to recover damages for his injuries from the Tanner Coal company, whose em- poye he was, and not the railroad com pany.
 Judge Banks sustained the demurrers. Amendments to the original complaint were made, and demurrers to these like wise sustained. The defendant will take an appeal to the supreme court; Thomas A.
