 STOKES.
Biu of Injunction Secured by General Manager of Alabama Central Railway Dismissed by
 Higher Tribunal

!. w. Dimmick and others associa- ted with him in the local contest be- tween the Dimmick faction and M C. Stokes, general manager of the Ala bama Central Railway, scored point in the controversy yesterday. when the Supreme Court reversed the de- cision of the Montgomery Chancery Court. and rendered "a decree dismiss ing the bill.
 The appeal to the Supreme Court was taken by the Dimnlicks from the ruling of Chancellor Parks which over ruled their petition to have an in- function prayer for by Manager Stokes to restrain them from interfer- ing in the management of the rait- road, dismissed. The injunction was granted. The Supreme Court yester- day handed down the opinion that the Chancellor erred. and that the bill should have been dismissed for want of equity. The decree of the higher tribunal dismissed the bill.
 The damage suits instituted against corporations for deaths received by employees through alleged negligence. were passed on favorably to the com panies by the Supreme Court. The first opinion rendered was in the case of J. H. Griffin, as administrator for C. Cahill, who, is was stated in the original bill, had been run over and killed by a car while in the employ of the Alabama Steel and Wire Com pany, at their plant in Gadsden. The case was appealed from the Gadsden City Court. In the trial in the lower tribunal. the plaintiff was awarded $11,5OO damages. The upper body re- versed and remanded the case.
 In the case of J. IT. Johnson, as administrator for Charles P. Brig man who, 1t was alleged. had been
 killed while in the employment of the Birmingham Railway, Light and
 Power Company. The suit for $25,o00
 decided in favor of the defendant was left without change by the upper body.

 ton was that of J. H. McGowan, who had been awarded in the Jackson Cir
 cult Court, $1.0O0 for injuries receiv- | ed from falling in front of a hand car
