The verdict of the jury was against Mary C. Billings, who claimed damages from the Kansas City-Leavenworth Railroad Company, now known as the Kansas City Western Railroad Company, for the death of her son, who was killed in a railway accident. The offer of testimony to the effect that the track of the railway was above the surface of the street was not material, and its exclusion was not error. The ordinance of the city required that the tracks of the railway should be constructed at the same level as the established grades of the street, but as there was no testimony of the violation of that ordinance that question was not in the case. None of the rulings upon the admission of testimony appear to be prejudicial error, nor can we say that the remarks made by the trial judge of which complaint is made furnish a ground for reversal. The instructions ap*758pear to have fairly presented the case to the jury. The matter of excessive speed was submitted, and the jury were rightly told that the provisions of the city ordinance as to the speed at which cars should be operated had reference to the ordinary operation, and had no application to the exceptional acts of the company in clearing its tracks of snow. An examination of the criticisms of the instructions given and refused shows that no material error was committed in charging the jury, nor is any reason seen why the motion for a new trial should have been allowed.

The judgment is affirmed.
