In rue Cinctit Court, a case of great interest has just been decided; and we depart from our usual custom, so far as to publish theentire case, that our citizens may see the extent of the protec- tion they have against the negligence of our city autborities in regard to the highways, bridg+s, streets, &c , under their charge and care: RC. Weightman agt. Corporation of Wash- ington —The declaration was in the usual form, charging the Corporation with the duty of keep- ing im repair the bridge over Rock creck, at K street; and that, on the 20th May, Is54, the said hiidze was in a dangerous, unsafe and rickety conditien, by reason of the default and negligence of the said defendants; and that the said plaintiff was then and there, to-wit, on the day and year aforesaid, at the county aforeszid, lawfully pass- ing and crossing over Said bridge, ina certain commoa acd ocdinary vehicle, and while so ing and crossing over said bridge. by reason of its rickety, unsafe and insecure cordition, and the default and negligence of the said defendants, then and there broke, gave way and fell in; by reason of which said breaking, giving way and faliing in, the plaintiff was injured, &c- plea was, Not Guilty. On the trial, the pill of exceptions was taken: On the trial of this cause, the plaintiff, to matn- tain the issue on bis part joined, read from the charter of the city of Washington (it being agreed that either party might read therefrom as evi- dence such parts as be might deem pertinent to the issue=) the thirteenth section of the charter of 1390, as follows: * And be it further enacted, That the levy court of the county of Wasbington, in the Disirict of Columbia, sball not possess the power of assess- ing Soy tax on property in the city of Washing- ton; nor shall the Corporation of the sa‘d city obliged to contribute in any wacner towards the expenses oF expenditures of said court,except for the one-half part of the expenses incurred on ac- count of tbe orphans court, the office of the coro- ner, the jail of said county, and the opening and tepalring of roads in the county of Washington east of Rock Creek, leading directly to the elty of Wasbiurton; but the said Corporation shail have the sole control and management of the bridge across or over Rock Creek at the termi- nation of K street north, and shall be chargeable with the expense of keeping the same in Tepair end rebuilding it when necessary.”? And then, again, evidence to show that the plaintiff then and now was a citizen of said city, Was returnins from Georgetown to the said city on the — day of May, It34, and riding in one of the emnibuses running between said cities, and while, cressing the said bridge, in said omni- bus, with the plaintid therein, was Precipitated into Rock Creck, whereby he (narrowly escaped drowning) was seriousiy bruised, his left arm broken, bis left hand crushed insomuch that the said hand has been rendered uselens for life. ‘That he was confined thereby to th+ house fora long time, under the care of the best medical at- e 1 re. and during the whole of sid period of time suifcied great bodily pain ; and rested And thereupon the defendants cttered and gave evidence to show that in the year 1899, a certain ordipance was passed by the authorities of said city as follows : [Here follows the act of the Cor- E ation authorizing the construction of en :ron cidge over Rock Creek at the western term 'na- tion of K street_} ‘That ia conformity with said ordinance, a committer consisting of the Mayor of the City ef Washinzton and two practical and scientitic Workers in iron were appointed; that the pan of said bridge was approved by said co.nmittee, and that they acted in yood faith and with a view to the erection of « bridge adequate in plan, prin- ciple, strength, solidity and constructien to the Rurposes for which said bridge was required. That the opision cf scientific men was taken by said committee as to the Pian or principles of ssid bridge, and that the same was erected la and with the beitef that the same was in plan end prineiple, and in strength, solidity and corstrnction, suivable ard adequate for tre pses for whieh it was required; that both terials and work on sald bridge were of description, and carefully examined fa ess of its erection by the agents of the » aud that the giving way of «aid bridge in conseq © f which the alleged dam- ages were sustained. was the result solrly of ac- cident and a defect in the plan of said bridge; thet said bridge was completed in the spring of 1-S®, and its strength and capac ity were on its completion carefully tested; that on the —~— day of —— the said d-fendants passed a certain other ordiuance, as follows {Here folluws the Cor- poration act authorizing the @ppeiatment of a commissioner and inspector | Under woich —— — was appointed Commis- Stoner of the First Ward of said city in which the eastern abutment of said bridge was tui.t, the same beiny a navigable stream and a greater Part of the said bridge being beyond the corpo- Fate Limits; that said commissioner discharped bis d onnected with the inspection of said bridge, and never ascertained that the same was in any manner unsafe, defective, or out of repair, aad never reported any unsoundness, defect of went of repair to the defendants, who had ne notice through their said officer or otherwise that said bridge was zt or before the accident unsafe, unsound, or defective either in Principle or fect. Tae defendants farther Produced evi. dence to show that there waa not any indication at or before =aid accident that the wad bridge Was vusafe sound of defective in plan, Hy ciple or in fact, and bad been duly pacented by tae Government; and rested. And thereupon the plaintiff, to rebut the evi- d-nceso offered on the pert of the d-fendant«, gave evidence to show that the same Scientific nen, whose opinion was so, ax aforesaid taken by the defendants, stated to the defendants, at toe time be was so consulted. that the plan of the said bridge was 101 feet, and they submitted the plan to bin, and be said the principle was correct, but it would not bold out indefinitely with iron bridges; that the said bridge isan tron bridge. cons:ructed on the plan of Rider, (patented,) and built by Rider bimself; but the arch of said bridge was bigher than bad ever been attempted, (a single span of 110 fret,) and when Rider bad con- tracted to build this bridge, be objected to, and remenstrated avainst, building the bof the bridge so high, but the defendants required it to be dune in oder to accommodate the Passage of canal boats, tbe said bridge being constructed, over the basin of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal constructed, ia the saidcreek; and said Rider believes the said ee fell by reason of the said arch ther of being raised so high That they fortuer gave evidence by one of the said committee that he had not been consulted originally about the plan of said brid, e, but at that time he believed it to be a yood plan; be is now satistied from further study aud experience toat It was essentialiy, radicaliy defective. He further gave evidence to show by another skill- ful and seicutitic worker in {ron that after this bridge fell be was employed by the Corporation to examine certain other bridges built by said Rider for defendants on the same principle, ex- cept thet the arch was much less and the span not near so great, and his opinion was at once formed that there is in the plan an inberent vice Which makes every such bridge not horizontal unsafe and insecure, and as the arch is increased that tmsecarity is increased; that within a year after the said bridze was rebuilt, the defendants changed the approach to said bridge at each end by raising the same aud extending it upon the biidge, aud thereby adding above three tons to its original weiy bt. And further gave evidence by said commis- siouer of the First Ward that be crossed said bridye, a few days before it fell, and it was so tremulous and shook so violently, that he was apprehensive it would fal!; and furtner evidence, by divers persons. that, for several days before the said bridge fe.l, they Lad observed tua’ «ev- eral of the braces of said bridge were broken, and some of the wedges had fallen out, and the bridge was loose; shook greatly when carriages passed over it; and rested. Andi the.eupon the defendants prayed the Court to instruct the jury as follows: ‘That, after the whole of the evidence aforesaid, the plaintiff is net entitled to recover ia this action.” Which imstruction the Court gave; and to the giving thereof the ‘plaintity excepted, and prays the Court to and see! this bis bill of excep- tons; which ts accordingly done this Ist day of Dees raver, 1555. jaune Dustap. | j Witttaw M. Me mK, (Seal ] ‘The case was fully discussed by counsel, and a great number of authoritics were referred to. The Principa! point of difference was, wheiber a mu- Bicipci corporation, such as this, is linble at com- mon law to an individual for injuries resulting from the negligeuce of the corporation to keep in repair the highways, bridges and streets, which, b je terms of its charter, it is bound to m:k~ and keep in repair? No opinion was delivered by the Court, which was sumewhat divided in opinion—oue of the jndges jntimating that he thought the Corporation reaponsibl another intimatiny that he thought there w: remedy in such a cese; and the third, that thought them mot responsible for negligence in making repairs It is & question of great public concer it is obviews thst the law is very unset aod it ought to be made very clear and distinct, w- trast toe case will vo to the Supreme Court, and the public may the bear tit of the opinion of that leerned tribumal, and every citizen may know whetber the Corporation is, o¢ elgs tu tole perticula’; and, if the iaw be may be jafecred from the above rultn: ; and as decidedly discouraging aspect ofthe weather pearing in the streets last night, Philharmonic ‘all was full of people, attracted thither by the announcement of the grand concert’ to be given there by the principal artists of M Strakosch’s Italian Opera beegg cons The entertainment was patronized by the jonable and distinguished. among our citizens, native and foreign; and the performance was one of up excellence and variety. M. Strakosch, with a view to the wants of the patrons of music here, furnished them with a programme comprising some of the best productions of the old and the new compo- sers, which have never before, to our recollection, been — ia concert by any com; which bas appeared in Washington. At the c! of each Piece, the performers were vociferously encored; anid, after, the audience became so enthusiastic asto break in u the singet with a storm of applause in the midst of the song. Several pieces in answer to the persistent de- mands of the audience were repeated, and the utmost delight was felt by all at the exquisite rendition of some of the musical gems of Meyer- beer, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Mendel- sohn, and other great composers. Such a greet- ing es this great company received from the best people of Washington last evening cannot but prove highly gratifying to them all, and demon- strates fully the question whether a first class performance by any company will not receive its due meed of support by a Washington audience, albeit the prevailing feeling in favor of mal- a@ppropos applause To-night, this company takes its farewell of our citizens, and we advise all who have not en- gaged tickets of admission-to do so if they ex- Pect to find seats in the hall.

Tae Nimacx Sixrexce.—Stinemetz whoderis altogether on the principle of many and quick siles with the smallest modicum of profits, is doing a very large share of the Washington City trade of this season in furs. Hix stock bas evi- dently been laid in to the end of accommoditing the means of all, the most economical in their expenditures, well us those who can afford to indulge in furs of the most expensive and luxu- lous description. Ladies will fiod genteel sets of furs there at from five or six dollars up to one hundred dollars, if not higher. For our part, we hardly know which most to admire—bis cheap but genteel and useful and comfortable furs, or his expensive ones. There is so little dif- ference between the appearance of cheap fats and very costly ones, that one must be a bet- ter judge of such things than we are to tell them readily apart. For Courr —Yesterday, a case was tried be- fore Justice Donn, that will probably cause some discussion in the Criminal Court It appeared that N. Larhne bad disposed of his Segar store to Mr. Cohn, and, two days afterward, forced his way inte the siore, drove out the purchaser's agent, took the money from the drawer, and locked the decor. Officer Busher was sent for, and he sne- ce ded in arresting the accused, who was taken before Justice Donn, where the trial was had. Messrs. Giberson and Thompson appearing ax counsel for the parties. The contract was exhib- ited and a disposition to argue the validity of the plaintiff's possession was manifest ; but the Justice decided that the evidence was sufficient to justify a commitment for Court, and the law points would be properly argued there. He was held in $3, for Court. Maxon CrawForp’s Vato Massace —We are indebted to R. R. Crawford, Esq , Mayor of Georgetown, for a copy of his veto message of October 30th last, returning, with bis objec- tions, “‘A resolution in relation to the Little Falls Bridge.’ lu this message Mayor Craw- ford argues with great force that his action with reference to that resolution has been l+gal in all respects, and that the action of the Boards them- selves compelled him to do as he did in the remises € slso utterly denies the right of the joards to withhold the payment of his salary (which they have resolved to do) tn order to compel Lim to obey their mandate concerning the resolution in question. AN INTERESTING AppiTiox.—We mentioned, & few days ago, that Prof Baird, of the Sinithso- nian Institution, was actively engaged with the classification and arrangement of the numerous specimens Lea by to the depar ment of Nat- ural History in the Museum. far, the result bas been the addition of a case that will attract general attention. It contains a great variety of birds eggs and nests, labelled an beautifally arrange Though but recently co: pleted, this beautiful collection hes been seen and admired by numerous visiters; and, donbtless, during the coming winter, when other cases of similar char acter are completed, this department will be es much adinired as any in the Museam. Tux Fare anv ITs **Ongan "—Among the newspapers that come to our table like sheep to the——shears, there was one this morning thet lay so fresh and neat among a great pile of its sixteen paged and blanket sheeted brethren, like “a Moss 1ose among cabbage heads, that we knew it brought good tidings And sure enough, it wos a “Christmas Heraid’’—the daintiest, sweet- est little gem of a newspaper that ever bloomed ont of @ press-room. The Herald is published for the benefit of the Fair for St Mathew’s Church, and is edited by Mrs. Anna H Dorsey, a most estimable lady of high literary reputation it is flied with interesting articles, original and translated. Burotany —Last night, the plumbing estab- lishment of C. Snyder, in the Philharmonic Hall building, near the Stac office, was burglariously entered, and a couple of pieces of copper, worth about $30, stolen therefrom. An iron rod, which Lad evidently seen service asa respectable fire poker, was made todo service in forcing the Front door, and was left bebind by the thieves. No clue to the perpetrators bas yet nm discovered ‘The concert in the upper portion of the building did not close until a ijatehour. The rogues must have waited until the hall was deserted before they plied their trade. A New Gas Buryer.—The gas burner adver- tised in the Star by the agent of Mr. Gleason, the patenire, seems tous to be no humbug, but a pos itive preventative against the eseape of more yas than the consumer desiresto burn. We haveone in operation ta the Star office, which, so far, does all the agent aforesaid claims that it will doin the way of decreasing tbe consumption or escape of gas while increasing the intensity of the light. As the experiment can be made so as torhow the operation of this burner ina single minute, we advise all desirous to lessen gas bills to call at Miller's plumbing and gas fitting establishment and test its operation for themselves. Retisious —The faculty of the University of Virginia have elected Rev. Jobn C. G:anbery, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, chap- lain for two years. Mr. Granbery bas for the Past vear been in charge of the Southern Metho- dist Church on Eighth street, in this city, and is now atthe Virginia Conference in session at Portsmouth. A few weeks since he joined his fate to that of 2 fair lady from a not iar distant region. He has many friends in this city, who will rejoice at every acknowledgment of his worth ax a minister and a man. Jost in tHe Nick Time —Oar friend and neighbor Semken’s stock of jewelry, gold and silver and pee ware, watches, precious stones, &c., reeently laid in, comprises a multitude ot exquisite things Intheir way. His selections for (be business of this market have been made with capital jodgment and tast and, as a conse. quence, bis store bas literally beea run down for some time past with curfosity Luaters as well as urcbesers. We take it, all are welcomed most eartily there. ‘Tuxxx are few yreater luxuries to a smoker than a good cigar; and our friend Cochran, No. 398 Pa avenue, isa most excellent judge of the article, if we may guess from the well-selected supply of really “ prime’? that be has laid in.

Accipent.—It was reported at the City Hall, this morning, that a hack in which Mr. Ebbert and his daughters were seated, while passing along New York avenue, between North Capitol and First street west, was overturned atacut in the road where an excavation of about twelve feet depth had been made while the improve- ment of that avenue was in progress. The coach was smashed and the horses injured, but the in- formant thought the inmates were fortunate enough toescape. The ward commissioner im- mediately started to the spot designated. to take measures for the prevention of similar accidents in future The best preventive will be the speedy completion of the work on that avenue; and we understand that it is now under contract, and will be immediately commenced. ‘Tux AsyLuM.—We learn from the intendant, J.R. Queen, Esq., that there are fifty-eight in- mates in the workhouse and fifty-one in the alms- house. The former are kept at work by various means, the stronger in erecting a new ice house, and the feeble in lighter jobs onthe farm, Wm’.

Perry & BRrorH=r continue to offer to the Public an assortment of first-class dry goods, at the Central Stores, Ts se Centre Market.
