Falling or in Suits in the City / Court.
 When the civil division of the City Court convenes on January 13, there will be a large docket to be gone through with. Damage suits are not so plentiful this term as usual. but this defect is made up in other lines.
 At the last term of the court the damage cases against the Montgomery Traction Company attracted most of the attention of the court and the gen. eral public. but this year there will be few of these. Since the strike. there have not been so many accidents and few people have grievances against the company for injuries received while riding on the cars.
 The damage suits against the dif- ferent railroads are just about as usual. No big suits that have attracted any special interest have been filed.
 Non-jury cases will be called on January 1S and jury cases start Janu- ary 21.
