Brackett, M. D. a A DECISION OF PUBLIC INTEREST.—The case of M. W. Galt & Co. against the Adams Express Company, on appeal from the Circuit Court, was decided by Justice James yesterday, who affirmed the decision of the lower court in favor of the plaintiffs. This sult was to recover 7 the alue of three packages of jewelry laintiffs and lost while in’ transit in accident at Benning’s station. The de- fendants plead a special contract set forth in the receipt given for the goods, and by the terms of which they only agree to be liable to the amount of $50 on packages not expressly valued. The court referred to Lockwood's case, 17th Wallace, Supreme Court reports, page 357, and held that a common carrier cannot stipu- late for exeiup tae trom responsibility for the hegilgence of himself or servants; that the ninciple of law forbidding a common carrier to Pargatn for complete exemption from responsl- bility for a violation of his duties, in particular cases. also forbids him bargaining for a partial exemption; that any agreement which operates to relieve the common carrier of the duty of proper and careful handling of goods and of good and faith which he owes the public 1s vol as an agreement that the carrier's nes! be cheap must operate in this wa: Within that principle. T rfails to advise the carrier that the actual value of the goods shipped was greater than Its supposed value does not affect the shipper’s rights, ‘This decision 1s one of very considerable interest. as every express receipt, and 1n fact every blank also upon which a telegraphic messave Is written, contains stipulations re- Meving the carrier and the telegraph company from certain responsibilit'es. ‘THR WORKINGMEN’S ASSEMBLY met at Beck’s hall last night. Mr. Hamilton explained that his remarks had been misunderstood at the last meeting as to the printers of Memphis and St. Louls. Both bad won. thelr strikes, An informal report was made by the committee on the fair grounds work; Mr. Tunin reporting that he found about 1 men at work under Mr. Gleason at $1 per day, and it was not under contract. Mr. Stickell said that the price paid Was about the present ruling price. Mr. Mur- ray remarked that carpenters were first em- loyed there at $2 per day, but they were cut lown to $1.50. An article in the Nationa! View of Saturday was read, relating to J. W. Carrol a bricklayer, having been discharged because hhe was one of a committee who walted on President Hayes in reference to the eight hour law. Mr. Hamilton said there had been no compromise by the Typographical Unton with the Republican, and a certain clothing man having advertised in it, they had asked their friends not to patronizehim. Mr. McDonald called attention to the payment of labor- ers, saying that Congress had appropriated $75,000, and only $15,000 to $19,000 had been pald. Mr. Beron explained that this law was mis- ‘understood, and according to its reading, par- tes who worked for certain contractors were to be paid. Mr. Tunin said that he was one of contractors in question and worked 200 men, but only about 30 received pay. The accounts of some were for $500 and $600 and they re- ceived only about $60 or $70. His pay roll footed up nearly $16,000 and but $900 was allowed. It would take about $250,000 to pay the laborers what is due, and they should go to Congress again. Mr. McDonald moved that the subject be referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Tunin suggested that the committee consider at the same time some means to protect the laborer from gouging, and said that during the recent payment the attorneys charged #2 for identifying a man and received from 30 to percent. The subject was referred and the as- sembly went into executive session. A SUCCESSFUL.

W. W. Corcoran, Com- that the missioners, asks property on Massa- chusetts avenue, between 15th and 16th streets northwest, occupied by the Louise Home, be relieved from assessments, and claims allowance for certain expenditures thereon, growing ows. of damages sustained by alleged Street improvements. ‘The Water Registrar states that he is arrangements to commence cutting off the Water from that class of water takers who owe for the six months rent for the current year. In each such case an additional cost of $2 will pe incurred, which he does not desire to en- force. A DELEGATION OF PROPERTY HOLDERS on I street, between 5th and 9th streets north- West, consisting of Messrs. R. H. Taylor, Peter Dubant, Thomas Lewis end others, called upoa the District Commissioners to-day to urge the repaving of that street between the points named. It will be recollected that on this street at present there are a variety of pave- ments, some portions belng of wood, others of rough blue cobblestone, and others of a mediey of both, making a very undesirable street for one so central. ‘The gentlemen named placed the matter before the Commissioners In a very clear light, showing the Injury to property from the condition of the street. The Commis- sioners stated that it was only a question of money; that this street was among those esti- mated for In last year’s estimates to Congress for street work, but that the appropriations for new work they feared would not justify the ad- vertising of this street the present season. It would receive the attention of the Commisston- ers before the next Congress when the appro- priation bills are made up. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON COUNTY ROADS. The District Commisstonens have sent acom- munication to Messrs. Richard Wallach, Thos. Wilson and B. H. Warner, referring to a note from them of the 13th instant relative to special assessments against property for the tmprove- ment of 7th street road, and stating that the statement of the Commissioners in regard to these roads, which were entirely relieved from assessment, Was to the effect that they were merely county roadsof an ordinary character. The roads still assessed are somewhat more than ordinary roads. In the case of the canal road, the property adjoining could not commu- nicate with it because of high bluffs. The Com- missioners reduced the assessment for the Mac- adam carriageway on the Columbia road to one-ninth of the cost instead of one-third; so that each property-bolder on that road will be charged with one-elghteenth of the cost. In the case of the 7th street and 14th street roads, the assessments are reduced to one-twelfth: thus leaving but one-twenty-fourth part to be paid by the property-holders on either side of those roads. In making these reductions the Commissioners have relied for justification upon precisely the line of argument so well pre- sented and that prepared at a meeting of the property holders heid at Brightwood on the 4th inst Tad the authorities in the tmprove- ment of 7thstreet only done what would have made it In all respects. a good county road, the Commissioners would feel justified In annulling the assessment; but, in fact the object of mach of the work was to make that thoroughfare rather a street than a mere county road, and its grades are such as might be permanent even if the limits of the city should be extended to embrace the entire length of that road lying witqin the District. The advisability of any given work {s not a point upon which the Com- missioners can pass in reviewing assessments. ‘Their powers extend only to a scrutiny of the charges made for work done, and they are to in- clude In the assessment only such as mpnears to be reasonable and just, without regard to their own views as to the necessity or propriety of the work. On the 7th street improvement, par- ticularly, they find work not at all necessary to have made {t a good county road with easy grades, and further, that the work was designed. to be specially advan us tothe residents and property holders along the line of it. Atter a very Careful reflection on the whole subiect the Commissioners conclude that they would not be justified in charging to the general tax- payers more than the eleven-twelfths they have provided for in their late order. In justice to Commissioner Dent, 1t 1s proper to state that he Is, and always has been in favor of remitting the entire special assessments for roads in the county, on the ground that he does not believe in the principle of assessing county Toad improvements by the front foot on lands abutting thereon. NO INTEREST ON EXCESS OF TAXES. Mr. James McKenzie, as attorney for some parties, writes to the District Commissioners relative to a recent order of theirs concerning the adjustment of old assessments, which 1s of interest to many property-holders, viz: “the payment of interest on the amounts admitted to have been unlawfully collected.” He states that this is especially applicable to the cases of assessments for paving foot-ways laid by the board of public works, under ordinances of the corporation of Washington, where three times the amount now admitted to have been lawfully due Was assessed, and in many cases collected, from property-owners, and he invites the at- tention of the Commissioners to the grounds of their claim for interest. The payment of this Money, both that part which was just and right, and that part which was erroneous, was demanded alike and enforced by the collector, imposing, tn addition toa penalty of excessive interest, the threat of sale of the property in case of non-payment within a certain specified it here Was therefore no option to the owner but to comply with the demands of the District, iu order toenjoy their property clear of lens. The demand for the money was made apparently as a just demand, and paid in good faith, as a proper, ’ just and legal demand. It is now admitted that the District of Columbia has, for many years. had in its possession money that did not belong to it, but to different property o-ners, and it Is only right, that with the return uf the money, interest should be allowed for the time it has been in the possession of the District. During the time that the money has been thus wrong’vlly detained the District has borrowed money of banks, upon which large interest has ‘N paid; so, also. have the District issued bonds to other creditors, upon which interest has been paid, and is provided for. The claims of these property owners, he claims, are anala- gous wit! ese’ “e District has had the use of their money tu use for the payment of its dues, and its ion has, perhaps, pre- vented the borrowing or the issue of bonds of an equal amount, and thus saved the amount of interest demanded to the District. Had this money not been peremptorily demanded of them, and taken unjustly, but still been in their Possession, it, through proper investment, Would have brought its just interest, and this they Claim of the District as their dues in the premises. The Commissioners have directed that the attorney be informed that under the act of June 2i, 1879, the Commisstoners have no authority to allow interest on the excess of taxes for which drawbacks are provided in sec- Uon 3 of said act. BUILDING PERMITS have been issued by Inspector Entwisle to Fred. Douglass, sr., toconstruct two two-story brick dwellings, A, between 3d and 4th sts.n.e.; 0. Mrs. McNamara, construct a two-story brick dwelling, 4th, between A and B sts. s.e.; $2,400. John Grinder, construct a two-story dwelling, D, between ist and 2d sts. n.e.; $1,000. THE ADAMS-SPENCER SHOOTING ARFRAY. ‘The shooting of Thomas Adams, at Fort Wash- ington, Saturday, by Spencer, it seems, grew out of a family. squabble over some property. Some years ago a Mr. Schaff and tamily re- moved from Virginia to Fort Washington, aud he bought the farm on which the shooting oc- curred. He died, leaving the farm to his wife, and two or three years ago she contracted with Adams and his brother to work {t on shares. About that time Spencer, who had been a ser- geant in the army, but was discharged, mar- Tied a daughter of Mrs. Schaff and made his home among the family. Subsequently Adams married the widow and thus obtained control of the farm. Spencer and his step-father-in-law did not agree very well, and the former went away. After his departure Mrs. Adams sepa- rated from her husband and went to Alexan- dria to live, leaving him ee of the farm. A suit for title to the property was brought, and after 11 was decided in favor of Adams his wife became reconciled and returned to the farm to live with him. Spencer also re- turned not very long ago, and the family quar- rel was renewed among them. Mrs. Adams Was absent trom home on a visit at the time of the shooting, but has ee, returned before this, Some sort of division of the furniture had. it seems, been agreed upon, and while Bpcecee was packing and taking away what he claimed of the the difficulty occurred, Information from Adams’ residence this morn- ing is that he 1s resting. comfortable, and the wounds are not necessarily fatal. Hopes are now entertained of his recovery. —-_—_ CavGHT IN THE Act.—Early this morning a colored man, named John Jones, was surprised white tn the act of eter the junk store of Mr. E.G.

Success or a Stak Boy.—Among the success- ful competitors at the Naval Academy during the recent examination to fill the cadet engi- neership, we notice the name of WillJ. Baxter, of thiscity. Ouring a period of more than two years, Cadet Baxter was a carrier of the Evg- NING STAR, and by bis energy and the faithful performance of his duties in sunshine and storm. Secured the respect and esteem of Tue Stak and the patrons he served. The energy dis- played as a carrier boy he no less manifested in the discharge of his duties in the office of Messrs, Gilmore & Co., of this city, in who3ze employ he was when he secured a permit to compete for a cadetship. During his prepara- ton for the contest, he worked faithfully at his desk during the day; prosecuting his studies at night.

A Manpanvs Asxep For—Suit of the Mutual Fire Insurance Com; —Yemortay, 1 the Court in General Term, the case of the United States ex relation Edwards et al. agt. McKel- den et al. was taken end the case is on ‘to-day—Messrs, and Morris for the and Messrs. Davidge and Lambert for the respondents. This cause was originated by 8 pouues ior & Writ of mandamma v0 compel the of the books, &c., of the company to the relators to them into office. The respondents, together“with Mr. Samuel Norment, were the managers of the company in 1878, and previous years. Onthe loth day of January, A. D. 1879, they published @ notice that the annual meeting of the com- pany for, the election of managers would be on the 20th day of January, AnD. tae be- urpose, ereupon, they attempted to hold Snother election, which was enjoined oy. the court of equity, The relators now apply for a mandamus to put them in possession of the cfMices to which they claim they were duly elected, and from which they are excluded by the respondents. For that purpose they have filed their petition, setting forth the facts; and a writ or rule has been served on the respond. ents commanding them to show cause why the Mandamus should not issue. The returnmade by respondents is in the formof a motion to quash, for which sixteen reasons are assigned. Substantially, however, only two issues seem to be rai ist. Whether mandataus is the proper remedy in this case; and 2d, Whether, if mandamus ts the proper remedy, the relators have been duly elected, and have siown a proper case for the issue of the writ. Tae rela- tors claim that there was ample legal notice given that the election was entirely valid, and Uhe relators having been duly elected are en- Utled to be inducted into office, and for that urpose Mandamus 1s in proper remedy; and they submit that the motion to quash is without solid foundation, and a pereraptorily mandamus should issue.
