CROSBY LOSES HIS CASE.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor of
the Central of Georgia.

supreme court Dec1ueS IN FaFOE Oh
the Central of Georgia.
The Supreme Court has just rendered a
decision in the case of B. F. Crosby
against the Central of Georgia Railway
Company, sustaining the decision Of Judge
Falligant, in ordering the case back TO
Justice Wickhams court for a new trial.
Crosby, whose suit was brought through
his mother, Mary Crosby, was an appren-
tice in the Central Railroad shops and was
discharged for improper conduct. He
claimed that he had been employed for
certain period and demanded the payment
of his salary for that time, which was, Of
course, refused
Crosby then filed a suit every month in
Justice Wickhams court for his salary
for that month, until the matter became
so aggravatiRg until an injunction pre-
venting The bringing Of further suits until
the matter could be disposed of by test
case, was secured from Judge Falligant
Justice Wickham decided the case in
favor of Crosby, and it was brought TO
the Superior Court by certiorari, where
Judge Falligant held that the preponder-
ance of the evidence was all the other way
and ordered the case back to the justice
court for new trial An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, which sus-
tanned Judge Falligant's position. The
Supreme Court by Justice Simmons, says
on this point:
This court will not interfere with the
discretion of a judge Of the Superior Court
in sustaining a certiorari and ordering a
new trial when his Judgment is based on
the ground that there was a preponder-
ance OF evidence against the verdict in the
justices court and is sustained by the
record"
This will probably be the end of the
case though il viii now go back to the
justice court for a new trial If the evil
dence is the same, it can only have the

London, Oct. 14.-To those Europe
ans who have watched Mark Twain
during his s~ojourn here he has been
an enigma. To many he has been a
disappointment. Accustomed to Judge
a writer by his books. the people who
come in contact with Mark Twain
have expected him to be a wag OF the
first order, a humorist bubbling over
with fun. a man whose conversation
teens with bright sayings. so that the
listener with a good memory could
store up enough bon mots for a life
time after half an hours conversation
with the author of The Innocents
Abroad"
No one resents this false idea of his
character more than Mark Twain him
self. With one contradictoriness of hui
man nature the great American au-
thor scouts the notion that he is a
professional humorist. He wishes to be
taken as a serious a and to have
his serious side admired while the hui
morous Is kept I'm the background and
only brought out for the purposes of
providing Mark Twain with a liveli-
hood by amusing chuckle-headed folk
who are too shallow minded to take
serious writings at the worth their
authors place on them.
