PETERSBURG, VA.. March li.—
The Supreme Court of Appeals of

f of the Circuit Court of Dinwiddle in
* the ease of Crowe's administratrix
f- against the Norfolk and Western Rail
way Company. At the June term, HOS.
®f the Circuit Court of Dinwiddle a
Jury gave the plaintiff |*,000 damages
for the alleged negligent killing of
her husband, the late John T. Crowe,
of that county, on the night of the
14th of June, 1?0T. at a public road
crossing about a mile west of Wilson

Mr. Crowe's home
The plaintiff claimed that the rail
road company was negligent in not
having rung the bell on its locpn*o
tf>'g or auunded
In falling to have a proper headlight
oh the locomotive.
The defendant claimed that Mr.
Crowe and his companion. Mr. Jtul
lage. were negligent In attempting to
cross the railroad track in front ot an
ajyproaching train, which they must
have heard if they did not see.

killed the Bavlour, and who there

removed more In action than In Spirit
from the modern Christian, who Is
prejudiced against the Jew for the

dicts Spectacle.
While scientists have been discuss
ing the probable effela of a oollletoi
between the sun and Halley’s come
or the result of this earth’s psusstnj
through the gaseous tall of the comet
a new phase of fhe situation Is dlS'
cussed by B. (1. Way, a member oi
the Brooklyn Institute Astronomlca
Society. Mr. Way discusses the proh
ability of a collision between Hsllcy'i
j comet and th/T n*»w comet that wa
| discovered by scientists in the Weston
sky & few weeks ago. From his" cal
culattona he thinks the new comet
which is on Its return path. wlU eitbei
Hpprcnoh the great comet of Halley
perhaps near enough for them to at
tract mutually or will collide with thn
comet with au effect that can hi
Imagined perhaps, but not described.
Mr. Way says: “It 1* possible thn
Halley's cornel and the new come
may collide. Who knows bat that wi
may be on the eve of witnessing i
celestial event such as never befbri
ha* been Been or beard T The grea
comet of Hatley 1* now coursing IK
way across the heavens toward th<
sun. Under present conditions it wll
reach the point nearest the pun oi
April 11 at about midnight, and fron
that point will sweep In a gracefu
curve around the central luminary sh<
continue on Its outward journey to
ward aphelion. It Is scheduled to re
turn in lill."
Ssveral weeks ago there appeared
unannoueed In the western sky a new
comet. Ho comet was expected In
the quarter where the newcomer ap
peared, and astronomers keep a re
cord of all comets and can generally
predict the time and the quarter for
their reappearance. But though the
newcomer startled the whole scien
tific world, scientists have already
learned something of this comet. They
know It had passed the perihelion
before it was discovered. The comet
must have either a parabolic or hy
perbolic orbit. If the former, the
comet cams from outer space In a
straight line, was attracted by our
sun. and Is sweeping around U with
just enough velocity so that any dis
turbing Influence such a* might come
from the planets would change Its
orbit Into an elliptical one, which
would make It a prisoner of the solar
system and would cause Its periodic
return. If the comet has a hyper
bolic orbit, It will sweep around the
sun at such a fearful rate that It
would pass into outer space never to
return.
In either style of orbit the Incom
ing and outgoing path for this comet
would be far apart. Astronomer*
have learned that.the comet hgs
swept around the sun at a distance
of three and a half million miles,
which close proximity to the sun may
be realized when It Is compared with
the distance of fifty-four million
miles from the sun of the perihelion
of Halley’s comet. The close ap
proach of the new comet Indicates
that Its velocity must have been tre
mendous to have escaped being drawn
down into the sun.
The new comet entered the solar
system and rushed around the sun
In the direction taken by all the
planets—that Is, from west to east—
but Halley’s comet Is rushing from
east to west. A* Halley’s comet Is
moving toward the sun and th* other
comet la moving away from the sun.
and they are going In opposite direc
tions, It Is evident that they are near
ing each other, and will pass at some
point In their respective Journeys.
Now, they will pass as two trains
pass on a double-track railroad, or
will they try the never-successful ex
periment of two trains passing on
the same track? Scientists have no
reason for thinking the two comet*
will pass on the same orbit, but It Is
certain they-will be either above and
below one another or on the same
grade as they pass.
Both comets, ineluding their tails,
are many million miles long, if they
cross on th# same grade nothing can
prevent their fiery tails colliding and
iptngllng, with perhaps disastrous re
sult* even If their heads avoid colli
