LEGAL NOTES.
Interesting Cases Decided
BY Courts In Many
States.

Arthur R. Woods, in an action
brought by him against the Long Is
land Railroad company for the recov-
cry of damages for personal injuries,
showed that while he was in the COM
pany's employ as expressman on Jan.
II, 1894. after the car of which he had
charge was switched on a siding, two
other cars which were kicked" on the
same siding, struck his car with such
force as to crush the platform and
break all the glass Of the car. Woods
was thrown violently against mail
rack and severely bruised. A wound in
the leg shortly afterward developed
sarcoma, and the limb was amputated.
The claim on plaintiffs part was that
the violent collision was caused by the
fact that the hand brakes were in such
defective condition as to render it
impossible TO stop the car The second
appellate division, in affirming judg-
ment for the plaintiff, held that the
proper adjustment of a rod, constitute
ing part of the brake, which could be
shortened or heightened by the use of
four or five holes at the end. was a
duty imposed upon the principal and
not detail of the work of the en-
ployees, in the absence Of proof that the
duty Of adjustment Of the brake rod
was, by the rules of the company. i'm
posed upon the train hands Woods.
VINO was taken to a doctor, and re-
turned in some twenty minutes after
the injury to the place of the accident,
was allowed to testify as to what he
then saw of the condition of the brake.
and the adjustment of the chain and
rod attached 10 the car, from the al
legged defective condition, of which the
accident resulted. The court held that
this testimony was competent. The
court of appeals has now affirmed the
judgment.

by those who read 1t carefully that the
royal arguments were directed not so much
toward a pacf1cation of the nations as
toward putting a limit to the heavy expen-
ditures for armament deemed necessary by
modern conditions. AS this view more and
more prevailed the proposed gathering was
less called peace congress and was styled
a disarmament conference. Both charac
terzations. as will be seen by reading the
cars rescript, are Inaccurate He does not
propose disarmament, bat a limitation of
armament. The questions to be considered
