T—Decision in an Ejectment Case.—A few days since a case came for Justice lant. involving the question whether @ person can be made a tenant wi:h- out bis own consent. One Joba Curus sued 0 Te. m of a tenement purchased by Cartis at a sale under a deed of trust given by Shorter. It appeared in evidence that Shorter never paid rent to Cartis, nor in any manner recognized him as his landlord, bat claimed he was the owner of the premises. Mr. Hine, counsel for the defendant, argued that the defendant could not be ejected in tha! form of action by the plaintiff because the reisticu of Iandlord and tenant did not exis: between them, nor betweeo him and any one Que under whom the plainti® claimed. Mc Norris, counsel for plaintiff, contended tnat the ordinary seven days sammons was the proper writ im the case, because the act of Congress, of July 4, 1°64, expressly provided that “the person entitled’ to the possession” of tenements might sue out the writ against any one who detained them from him. Justice P. delivered a decision this morning that there was no proot that isaac Shorter had ever attorned tothe party as tenant, and the euit should have been brought in ‘the Supreme Court, D. ©, and that the relation of landlord and tenant bas never existed between the parties, therefore judgment is given for pos- Session, the plaintiff to pay costs of suit. —_————_ Bors 1m BLUR—A called meeging of the Third Division of this o1 tion was held Jast evenimg at Carroll Hall on Capitol Hill— CG.

Before he could arouse the family, or even makeany tions himself, the tornado burst upon with such force &s to tear to pieces and scatter about for a dis- tance cf a quarter of a mile the entire house and its contents, er with the inmates. ‘There were at the time twelve persons in the building, the most of them up stairs asleep. It was a block or log house 16x2%, one and a half stories high, well dove-tailed at the cor- ners and pinned with two-inch oak pins. Mr. and Mre, Richardson and the small child alone Temained in the ruins of the house.

Mrs. R. received some injuries oo and about the bead and face, but nothing more serious, This is about the extent of the injuries received by the family of Mr. R. Miss Auna Wilson, a School teacher, stopping at the house of Mr. K., baving some fears at the time, had arisen and dressed, and was sitting up when the wind struck tbe building. She was carried with the rest, mixed in with breken pieces of timber, boxes, barrels, cup- boards, trunks, bedding and farniture, and entire contents of the upper part of the house, thirty-seven rode, and deposited in the wheat field. She was so badly bruised that there is little hope of ber recovery. Liberty Ra: 5 twenty-two years old, eldest son of L. B.

The scene at the house w the daylight came, is much easier imagined than described. Mr. R. being the ouly one left after the disaster to collect in the dead and dying, and to care for the injured ones. After looking for and finding the most ot them in the midnight gloom, it being very dark and stormy, he proceeded to the neighbors togive the alarm and procure assistance.

Within a few minutes after the escape the fact was known, and im- tely the police were notified and the search for them began. They were seen to pas: over Eager street bridge, but it appears they separated at North street and went in different directions. George Kubn, it appears, had one of bis apkles severely injured in jumping from . Appold, on the west side of Jones’ Falle, immediately opposite the Jail, where he was found by policemen Carlos and Chesney. The police of the Southern District recaptured Augustus Ford at the house of his sister, near the corner of Li tta streets, will ‘be almost impossible. The greatest anxiety was tor the recapture of Thomas Hoffman and Edward Dennis both of whom are under indictment for the robbery o1 Mr, Patterson, the money messenger of Harn- den’s Express. It was supposed yeeterday that aclue to their track bad been obtained, and many are working hard for the five hundred dollars reward offered for the recapture. Yes- terday morning the police of the Western dis- trict met Francis Hoffman, brother of Thos. Hoffman, on the Reisterstown road with a horse and buggy, and at once took him into custody. Frank Hoffman lives with a brother- in-law on the Maiden’s Choice Road, and it appears that after the escape, Thomas Hoffman and Thomas Brien, alias Johnson, went to the place where Frank Hoffman lives and be took them as far as Owings’ Milts, on the line of the Western Maryland Railroad. When first arrested Francis Hoffman was taken to the Western police station, and subsequently to the office of Marshal Farlow. There he confessed that be bad taken his brother and another from the city, but he said that be took them as far as Govsnstown, That story was noi believed, ana ne was threat. ened with prosecution if he did not tell the truth, and he confessed that he had taken tiem far as Owings’ Mills. Deputy Marsbai Gray, ith a posse of detectives, procured horses, and At once started in pursuit, reaching Owings’ Mills, they left their horses and took the train for Union Bridge, the terminus ot the railroad, where they captured Thomas Hoffman and Jonson. al Farlow was last night no- tified of the arrest by telegraph, and the fagi- ‘ives will be brought on this morning.
