Witnesses testified, thereafter, that
when the locomotive went by both en-

Mrs. Whitaker. Her beauty had, literally,
turned their heads. II their heads had not
been turned to her. they would have seen
Mr.. Keeler and could have stopped in time
to have avoided running him down.
OF course the contention Of the railroad
was that the victim was the prey of his
own negligence; that the engineer was at
tending strictly to business and that the
accident was an unavoidable one.
Whereupon, to the immediate interest of
every one, the plaintiffs attorneys called
Mrs. Whitaker to the stand as an exhibit.
Mrs. Whitaker, blushing, walked up

Addressing the Canadian Club of

that on the Canadian people lis laid
the high destiny of being interpreters

continued. Each must know the

Sir Auckland assured the Canadians
that affairs in Europe slowly but

MUST KEEP TIME RIGHT;
NO POOLING THE PUBLIC
Mrs. Clark Missed Train With
Sons Body and Gets Verdict
of $500.

MOBILE. Ala. November 13.-The
Alabama supreme court yesterday in
the case of Ellen Clark VS.. the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad Company
ruled that when a railroad puts a
clock or any other timepiece in the
gaze of the public it is bound by
duty to it's patrons to keep it so regu-
lated as to furnish reasonable accu-
rate time. and failing SO to do it is
responsible for any damage such
error in time may bring to its patrons.
The woman sued the railroad for
$4,000, contending that clock in the
waiting room of the Union station at
Decatur. Ala, was slow and as a re-
suit she missed a train which car
ried the body of her son to Hartselle
for burial. The court rendered judg-
ment for $500. 1t was alleged that
a train was scheduled to leave De-
catur at $3.50 o'clock in the morning.
but that as matter of fact it left at
6:23, according to the clock in the
waiting room. As a consequence the
body was carried to Hartselle, but
the plaintiff was unable to take the
train until the afternoon.
