The court SAWS.


The uncontradicted testimony Is. In
substance, this: Deposits to the
amount of s1,13s.9s were made in the
defendant bank in the name of Smith
q carr" so entered on Its books, and
In the depositors' pass book. Four of
the deposit tickets were made out by
the depositors agent in the name of
Smith e Carr" and two as Smith &
Carr. j. Q. L.. Agent" In fact the de-
posits came from collected rents, COL
lected from real estate owned by John
w. Smith and Julian 8. Carr as tenants
In common. and not as partners, but
this fact was not known to the bank
Ihe deposits were made by ]. o. Luns-
ford. agent Of the owners to collect said
rents. John w. Smith drew O check on
the bank for SLIGO. signed Smith g.
Carr" payable to order of ourselves"
Endorsed 1t Smith G. Carr" and the
bank paid 1t. Some days thereafter
carr made a demand on the bank for
half of the s1,13S9S. The bank offered
to pay him, on check signed Smith &.
Carr" the s1S.9S. balance left on de-
post. which he refused. and brought
this action to recover one-half of said
s1.13sss.
The plaintiff has "got the wrong SOW
by the ear" Smith is the one who has
got the money. and should be held to
account for it. The plaintiff. fortu-
looking to Smith; for. according to the
evidence. he Is indebted to Smith more
tnan this amount, and the half of the
money checked out OF the bank can be
treated as payment thereon.
Upon the evidence. the court should
have instructed the jury to render a
verdict for the bank. The deposit was
made in the name of Smith e. Carr
by the agent OF the owners of the de-
posts. and the deposits were also en-
tered on the pass books of the deposi-
tors The bank had no notice of the
nature OF the property whence the fund
was derived 1t did know as to the
fund itself it was treated as the prop
erty of n partnership and when one of
said parties. Smith & Carr" drew a
check on the firm. signing 1t Smith &:
Carr" there was no other course than
to pay 1t. "The proper and only safe
rule for the bank Is to require the Sig
nature to be Identical with the credit
on its books The bank was not called
upon to inquire into the nature of the
fund or OF the supposed partnership. 1t
received deposits In the name OF Smith
d Carr" and 1t paid 10 the order of
Smith & Carr" 1t discharged the
trust confided to IT. It was the plain
tlffs own fault. and not the fault of the
bank, that he permitted the deposits
to be made in the name OF Smith &
carr. and made no objection till after
the fund had been drawn out Indeed.
the pass book. if examined by him,
gave him notice OF the nature of the
dealing with the bank. This case has
no analogy to n deposit made by two
or more. in their individual names,
with notice. express or implied, not to
be paid out except upon their Joint
order. If 1t had been all Carr's money
which was deposited in the name OF
Smith & Carr. the bank, in the absence
OF notice of Cars claim upon the
money. would be protected in paying
the check OF Smith G. Carr.

WHEN THE CHARTER OF A RAIL
ROAD COMPANY AUTHORIZES
ITS CONSTRUCTION 40" A GER
TAIN TOWN. IT CAN BUILD IT'S
ROAD INTO" THE TOWN, AND
CROSS ANY OTHER RAILROAD
TRACK ON ITS ROUTE.
The court says:
It was contended that the Offern1an &
Western Railroad Company had no
right to cross the line of the Waycross
Air Line Railroad Company within the
charter OF the Offerman G. Western
Railroad Company authorized it to
construct its road "to the town OF
Nichols" 1t was settled that a charter
authorizing a railroad company to con-
struct its line "to" a city empowers it
to construct its line Into the city. 1t
is contended, however, that although,
under such a charter, railroad COM
pany will be allowed to carry its line
into the town designated as its ter
minus, it will not, in the absence of ex-
press authority be authorized to cross
the tracks of another company for the
purpose Of reaching place selected by
it for its depot. when the depot could
have been as we'll selected on the oppo-
site side of the railroad sought to be
crossed. The point at which a railroad
company shall locate the end of its
line within the town fixed by Its char
ter as Its terminus is a matter left en-
tirely to the judgment and discretion OF
the corporation. when there Is nothing
in the charter fixing the point at which
the end Of the line shall be located
railroad company will locate the end
OF its line at such point as will be to
the best interest OF those interested in
the enterprise. and where such location
does not interfere with the rights of
the public another corporation will not
be permitted to bring In question the
proprie1y or the wisdom of the loca-
ton. when the corporation making the
location proceeds in accordance with
the law to ascertain the damages which
the other corporation may suffer by the
appropriation of any part OF it's prop
erty to the uses OF the railroad COM
pany IN reaching its terminal point,

Sousa's band was never heard here in
better form than at the concert Satur-

Miss Blanche Duffield, soprano, and

that they are wholly worthy of their
