Statement of the Case.
NICHOLLS, J.
This suit was brought originally against the “Arkansas Southern Railroad Company.”
Subsequently, upon motion of counsel for defendant, and by agreement of both parties, the Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisiana Railroad Company was made defendant; it assuming all liabilities of the Arkansas Railroad Company.
Upon being so substituted, the last-named company filed an exception that plaintiff’s petition disclosed no cause of action against either the original defendant or against it.
The court sustained the exception and dismissed the suit, and plaintiff appealed.
