REPORT ON RENTED ROOMS FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES, Mr. Lioyd, from the committee to which was referred the order of the District Com- missioners of November 13, 1871, relative to rental of rooms for school purposes, submit- ted a report as follows: Your committee has been unable to inspect in a body all the j Framalets sented for school pul , aud re- ‘ies for the account given ef the condition, adaptation and"surroundings of each rented room or building upon that member of the | committee representing the school district in which such room or building is located, which accounts are hereunto annexed, and to which attention is respectfully invited. It | will beseen that there are eight basement rooms rented, principally in churches, not. one of which is provided with any means of ventilation other than deors and windows; many are poorly lighted, and all are more or less p. Insome of them the dampness on the walls is visible to the eye. It is ques- | Uonable whether schooling obtained at ex- | pense to health is very desirable. Again, no | Sufficient or suitable accommodations as to | privies or water clesets are provided in many cases, and where they are provided they have been usually constructed at the public expense; nor are the grounds on which these outhouses are located securely ) Inel |, to exelude outsiders from their | @nauthorized — use and defacement. Again, these rented rooms not ing been per rin a a : ee a are constantly getting out of repair, requiring a | large annual outlay to make them habit. able, and not infrequently the schools are dismissed for several days in the midst of | the schoo! year while these indispensable re- pairs are being made. Hence it will be seen | that in order to adapt rented rooms, not built | expressly for schoo! ee, the public au- thorities are compelled to expend large sums | of money in the adaptation of the rooms to the use required, the Ke fen | of suitable out- houses and fencing and keeping the premises in repair. When this is done they are jll- fitted and unsuitable for school parpows, without means of ventilation and injurious to the health of teachers and pupils—miser- able apologies for school-rooms. | It will be observed that the annual rent now being id for school-rooms is nearly $18,000, ($17,578.60,) and the cost of repairs an- ally is Spproxtmataly $8,000, aggregating $26,000, which is the interest at 16 per cent. | “annum on $200,000. The first question is, whether $260,000 judi- ciously expended will not pay for buildings vastly more suitable and healthful sehool- rooms than the average school-reoms now rented; the second, whether there is any way or Cecengine | to obtain money to build plain, suitable and healthful buildings for the pub. | le is; and whether private capitalists will not ereet school buildings after plans be gaig hee by the Board of Truas- tees, and rent or lease the same to the Dis- trict at rates not iaexcess of now paid, with the privilege of buying, @ certain sum, after the lapse of a term of years. iow that in This results from the fact that the board was cheaper balial for for school p 1D; coal be ei fw FS ae ar- men | school ings shou | fo the Di ict of Columbia, in, the mar Jority of the buildings rentea under verbal tracts for one year certain, giving the right thereby to the owner to school bulid! ¥ The comnaittee was authorized to transmit the report to the Commissioners. | : i ii ef f =a i : ~ Mr. Je of the b ‘th: presented the annual report iDson of lic schools In and fo confer with the Commissioners, with a view to a uniformity as to the ac. counts.

B. Stone, for being in bad sanitary eondi- tion generally, and unfit for human’ habita- tion. were condemned as nuisances injurious to health, and their abatement ordered. On recommendation of the health officer, the contract with F. B. Winter as apothecary to the poor for the 6th sanitary division was annulled and awarded to Alfred Beeman, on southeast corner éth and N streets northwest. Americus Davis was appointed apothecary to the 5th sanitary division, vice Helphen- stine & Bentley, resignad. On motion of Dr. Bliss, the attorney of the board was di- recited to prosecute in the courts one Benja- min Kutz, living at 1425 L street, for alle zea violation of law by throwing the dead boly of an infant into a vacant field adjoining the Mount Olivet cemetery, after ovtaining a proper permit for the interment. Applica. tions for positions under the board were re- ceived from Allen G. Wall and J. H. John- son and referred. Dr. Cox calied up the reso- lution previously offered by him providing for the appointment of a committee to ex- amine the sanitary condition of the public buildings. After discussion the subject was referred to Drs. Cox and Verdi and Mr. Mar- ury. —_.—___ THE CASE OF BEALL AGAINST THE BAL- TIMORE AND OHIO RALLROAD— Vervic! for Plaintif’ jor 28,000.—This morning, in the Cir- cuit Court, Judge Cartter, the jury in the ease of T.. A. Beall agt. the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, found a verdict for plaintiff? for $8,000. This suit was for dam- ages claimed to have been sustained by an engine of defendant running over and ki on the Metropolitan railroad was coming into the city, and the plaintiff's wife and child being seated in one of the Colunbia street ears, got out, and in leaving the car the mother fell with the child, and the latter was killed. The question was raised that as the complainant's wife was a passenger on the street car, the Columbia Railroad Company is responsible. The defendant also raised the point as to whether she had a right to jump from the street car, even if she were in dan- ger, and argued that a person in a stage coach going along the edge of a precipice has no right to jump out when there is a chance for the occupants to make their journey in safety. The case will go to the Supreme Cour} of the United States. Messrs. Cook, Moore and Newman for plaintiff, and Buchanan and Cox for defendants. — EXPLOSION AT THE CAPITOL—A Big but Nobody Hurt.—At about 2. ‘loe! yesterday afternoon everybody in the Senate wing of the Capitol was startled by adull, heavy sound resembling the explosion of & Scr, blast, in the northwest corner of the duilding near the elevator. Grave Senators started from their seats, and every one rushed to the elevator on the main floor to learn _ cause of the pepcets welch i was ly supposed was produced by the 11 of the elevator from the third to the first floor. Failing to discover anything wronz at this point the crowd hurried down to the first floor, and discovered that the marble floor for ten or fifteen feet, near the room of the Judiciary Committee, had been torn up by what seemed to have been an explosion of @ gas main. A visit to the floor under- neath where the heating apparatus 1s sta- toned showed that the boilers were all right and it was consequently ascertained beyond a doubt that the exp! was caused by the bursting of a large gas pi under the floor, but noone could account for the occurrence. Nobody hurt. DEATH OF Dr. DaRpy.—Dr. Ralph F. Darby died last night at 9 o'clock, after a brief illness of inflammation of the stomach, and his funeral will take place to-movrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from his late residence, in Uniontown, D. C., where the services of the Episcopal church will be read. after which the interment will be made in the Congressional cemetery. Dr. Darby was a native of Dublin, but came to this country when a young man. He first settled in Bos- ton, where he conducted the drug business for some years, and about 20 years ago he came to this city, and for some’ time was a clerk in the drug store of Nairn & Palmer, but left there to practice medicine, and by a liberal use of printer's ink, (in advertising,) was able to leave quite a comfortable estate EA wife, as also a life insurance policy for —e—_ PROTECTION FOR THE PARKING NEEDED. Something should be done by the District authorities to proteet the parking from being destroyed by the droves of cattle which almost daily pass through our streets from the depot of the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road,on Maryland avenue, where they are discharged from the western freight cars and driven by boys and men to the slaughter houses north of this city. The line of park- ing on 12th street, from South to North B streets, especially, needs to be cared for, as itis being mulehed into a mass of mud and grass, resembling @ cow yard.

ALEXANDRIA. MURDER,—A colored man named John Gaines went home drunk, near Markham, Fauquier county, last Thursday night, and raised a rew with his wife, with whom he had not been on good terms for some time past, and seizing a pair of tongs bent them nearly double over her head, when two step sons of Gaines’ came to their mother’s relief, and were each laid low in asimilar manner. The woman in the meantime seized an axe and split Gaines’ head wide open, causing Instant leath. The woman and her two sons are badly burt, but will probably recover. Mrs. KELLEY, a white woman hailing from Washington, was arrested for being drank on the streets, an¢ released on promis- ing to quit the city forthwith.—Sentinel, WA.

In May, 1872, becoming nearly Worn out with excessive editorial labors on & paper in New York City, I was attacked with Bronchitis ina severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had not been home only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, having / severe bleeding spells within treo weeks, cand ft twee inside of nine days. In September ‘fol- lowing, I improved sufficiently to be able to- | be about, though ina very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and C rh was | tenfold worse than before. Every effort for | relief seemed fruitiess, I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, 73, when I became so bad as to be entirely confined tothe house. A friend suggested your remedies. But | was extremly skeptical that they would do me no good, as I had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon me-ticine and doctors with disgust. Ho er, 1 obtained one of your circulars, and read it. carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that. you un- derstood your business, at Icast. I finally obtained a quantity of’ Dr. ’s Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise Isoon began toimprove. The Discovery and Pellets, in a short time, brought ont a severe Faption, which continued for several weeks. I telt much better, my appetite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was one, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared. had no Cough whatever and I had eatirely ceased to raise blood; and, contrary to the expectation of some of my friends, ihe eure has remained permanent. I have had no more Hemorrhages the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and go long. debi of gratitude I owe for the blessing I have re- ceived at your hands, knows no bounds.
