Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Street railways — Crossings—Evidence—Presumption.</p> <p>In an action to recover damages for the death of plaintiff’s son a non-suit is properly entered where it appears that the deceased, a man thirty-six years of age, was struck by one of the defendant’s cars at midnight, at or near a street crossing; that the car was brilliantly lighted so that it could be seen 250 or 300 feet away, and there is no evidence of undue speed, or of a failure to give notice of the car’s approach, although there is a doubt as to whether the front headlight was burning.</p>
