It was alleged that the fire was caused by the carelessness of defendant’s agents and employees in the operation of its train. Defendant, in the first place, denied that the fire was caused by the emission of sparks from its engine; and, in the second place, contended that even if it was, it was not the result of the carelessness or negligence of any of its employees, but that its machinery was operated with due diligence, and its appliances were in good order. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $108; whereupon the defendant made a motion for a new trial, and excepts to the judgment of the court overruling its motion.
