The cases of Edith E. Zier vs.. Chesa-

Maier VS.. same defendant came up for
trial on Wednesday. These cases grew
out of an accident on the Chesapeake
Beach road near Pushaw Station, in CAL
vert county, on July 3rd, 1900, whereby
the husbands of the plaintiffs, who were
employees of the railroad, were killed.
An amended declaration was filed in June,
1902, to which the defendants interposed
the plea of limitations because the amend
ed declaration, which virtually stated q
new cause of action, was not filed within
twelve calendar months of the accident.
The Court overruled a demurrer to the
plea of limitations, which decision virtu-
ally disposed of the cases as it was con-
cedeG that the accident happened more
than twelve months before the amended
declaration was filed. Messrs. Charles h.
Stanley and Alan Bowie, attorneys for
the plaintiffs, appealed from the decision
of the Court, Judges Briscoe and Merrick
presiding, and the cases will 60 to the
Court of Appeals. The railroad company
was represented by Messrs. Frederick
Kenney, of Washington, and Magruder s.
Magruder.
