PULLMAN COMPANY WINS

Montgomery February 17.-(speelal.)- Several cases of more than ordinary inn portance were handed down by the su- preme court today. The law by which the city of Gadsden Is allowed to issue bonds for public improvements was upheld, in the litigation styled Mitchell vs. the City of Gadsden and Lee vs. the City of Gads- den. This will leave that city open to go ahead with improvements that will be needed as it grows, as it is rapidly doing. By affirming the case of Blue vs. Ever cit, from Coffee chancery court, the coun- ty court of Coffee is sustained and de- clared constitutional In refusing to grant a rehearing in the case of ex parte James Black, the county court of Geneva is sustained.
 The sentence of George Teague in Cren- shaw county, five years for assault with intent to murder, was affirmed, and Bund- ly Stoudenmire of Autauga with a sen- tence of ten years for burning the house of a negro woman, gets a new trial George Moore must serve five years for killing Charles Harris in Tallapoosa county.
 William Broadhead must serve four years for assisting prisoner to escape in Shelby county, and Frank Moss of Annis- ton will have to give the state two years for theft. John Toney gave or sold whisky to a minor and the supreme court holds that the city court of Anniston made no mistake in assessing fine of $1OO
 The refusal of the Pullman Palace Car company to haul Max Krauss from Mem phis to Birmingham because the said l<rauss was sick, or seemed to be, with a contagious disease, was held to be just and right by the high court of the state. | The rule to protect passengers in this way is reasonable, and the court says 1t had no trouble in deciding to hold against 1 MT, Krauss' demand for damages. D. P West of Montgomery built an ice factory within limits of the city not allowable for such things To prevent being prosecuted for such he secured an injunction to prevent the recorder act ing on the case The supreme court to- day dissolved the injunction which likely means that MT West will have to move | or be fined
 Tom Benjamin killed another man of the same dark color he is made up of and was sentenced to die by the gallows. The court found that he had not had all that was coming to him and reversed the case, allowing him new trial
