Testimony was adduced upon tbe trial to show that Edwards me -not hi a condition to do any work I rem the time the lodge took Its action until suit was begun. A verdict was rendered in fmeor of Edwards for the foil amount claimed, the court holding that the examination and repon of a society's oomsKtee could net be considered as final erldenoe of a man's ability or Inability to wort ^ A colored gentleman sought the signal officer, and said : "Got a little business for yrr.
