TO TEST FELLOW-SERVANT RttLE Id the Federal Court to-day an other plaintiff lost a heavy damage uit against the Southern. This time Judge Brawley directed a verdict in favor of the road on the ground that Engineer W. F. Snipes, the plaintiff, contributed to his injuries by his own negligence. Engineer Snipes was In jured in a wreck at Dent's station four miles north of Columbia, his train having a head-on collision with another freight. The orders to look out for the other train were directed t both engineer and-conductor, and while the testimony was that Snalneer Snipes asked Conductor" Triplett whether there were any more trains guard against and was given ' a negative answer, Judge Brawley held that It was the duty of the engineer himself to discover this In the orders. Mr. Snipes was burned about the face, had his skull fractured and suffered a broken leg. The case will be appealed principally on the fellow-servant rule. Judge Brawley said he did' not like the fel low-servant rule but wanted to see It tested. In the' case of Mrs. Mary McCraney, who sued the Southern for $30,000 on account of the death of her husband, Engineer Thomas C. McCraney, the ury brought In a verdict for the rail road. Mr. McCraney's train ran Into freight near Columbia on ths Au gusta-Columbia line. The defense was that Mr. McCraney was responslble'for the wreck. It was at first thought that he was not permanently injured, but shortly after the wreck he grew worse and finally died after beingr treated at the State ospltal for the nsane, his mind being seriously af fected by his Injuries. - At the conclusion of the morning session the court adjourned until Mon- ay, when the case of Flagman Mull, of Lexington, the victim of a rear-end collision on the Danville division of he Southern, will be taken up. This suit is for $25,000. Rip Fire at Richmond. -" Richmond, Va, Jan. 18.
