Sere THEY TOOK NO RISKS The Fire Underwriters Were Bound to Have a Good Time. 3 THEIR SUCCESSFUL EXCURSION Planked Shad, Bright Speeches, Music and Merriment. A DISTINGUISHED CROWD —_+-—___ .A more congenial party of gentlemen never gathered to spend an afternoon in pleasant social intercourse than that which assembled aboard-the steamer Macalester yesterday afternoon and was carried down to far-famed Marshall Hall as guests of the Association of Fire Underwriters of the Distriet of Columbia. It-was repre- sentative, too, of all that is best in the business community, as a glance at the names of those in attendance will show. The boat was to start at 1:30, but it was 2 o'clock when the last of the excursionists arrived and the whistle tooted a note of farewell. Those who had eaten lunch in the city were sorry when they got aboard, as there was a tempting array of sand-} wiches flanked by bowls of claret cup and lemonade in the lower saloon. There were a sufficient number of appetites in the crowd, however, to do the collation ample justice, and this early evidence of hosp!- tality made all hands feel all the more at home. The emerald spring beauty of the river banks and the hills behind them, the fleecy clouded sky and the frequent fishing boats under the shadows of the shore, made the trip down particularly picturesque and lovely, and when Marshall Hall was reached it was found to be more charming and attractive than ever in its fresh green garb. The excursionists soon scattered to enjoy the afternoon and achieve appetites for the luscious planked+shad which were already steaming and sizzling before the long log fire back of the dining hall. How They Amused Themsely The bowling alleys were quickly pre- empted by the votaries of the game, the cool breeze that was blowing tempering the atmosphere to the muscular contest- ants, while the pool and bagatelle tables, the shooting ranges and the other amuse- ments were steadily patronized. Of course, there was a game of base ball, and some scientific quartets took their places st tables under the shady trees and indulged in whist, and every one proceeded to en- joy himself according to his tastes. At 5 o'clock dinner was announced, and the underwriters and their guests ass>m- bled in the dining room at the long tables, which were inviting in their white cloths and gleaming ware and decorated at in- tervals with large bunches of wild flowers and lilacs. Men Who Are Representative. Those who sat down to the planked shad and accompanying solid and liquid delica- cies were District Commissioners Trues- dell and Powell, Marshal A. A.

Ryan and Mr. Turpin, the fa- mous sweet-voiced Apollos, who for yes- terday caroled as the “Underwriters Quar- tet” and added immensely to the enjoy- ment of the day. The Commissioners Talk. After numberless planked shad had been devoured and the coffee and clgars were brought on, President John B. Wight, as toastmaster, announced that the ensuing feast of reason would be preceded, as the preceding feast of substantials had been, by a song from the Underwriters’ Quartet. When the applause following the glee al- lowed it Mr. Wight called upon District Commissioner Truesdell. Mr. made a few pleasant remarks, stating that each Commissioner had certain duties ap- portioned to him and neither cared to in- terfere with the other, accordingly, as Mr. Ross was the orator of the board, he him- sei? was disinclined to talk. He declared Maj. Powell had been delegated to do the honors for Mr. Ross and gave way to his colleague, who spoke in a similar strain. Mr. R. W. Tyler was®then called upon as an old underwriter, and patd a high compli- ment to President Wight and the manner : which he accomplished his difficult du- ties. Mr. J. H. Kremer, representing the mid- dle department of Philadelphia, spoke of the advantages of social intercourse and good fellowship such as were fostered by oc- casions like the uriderwriters’ excursions and banquet, and gave an intere: sume of the growth of such assoc’ The quartet sang “Dixie” to upro. applause, and there were cries of .” "This amiable gentleman re singing “The Sword of Bunker Hi the accompaniment of Mr. Edward Droop. Gen. Anderson of Baltimore made a few well chosen remarks, ending with a poet- ical quotation so apt that the entire gath- ering caught up the song “So Say We All of Us,” that was started by some appt tive gentleman. Then Dr. W. Pope Young, the secretary of the association, made a witty speech and told a laughable story of the old negro who got religion and told nee he knew about the parables of the le. Mr. Davis Makes a Hit. There were loud demands for Mr. Harry E. Davis, so he mounted a chair and made a characteristic speech, that was the hit of the occasion. “We hear a great deal about the power of the press,” said Mr. Davis, “but events have transpired here today which prove that it is as nothing when compared with the power of the Underwriters’ Association. For weeks past every paper in Washington has been trying to get something out of the District Commissioners without effect, and yet the underwriters have managed to Sees of them down here and make them This sally was greeted by roars, and laughter followed the speaker's description of how he had been following Major Powell around trying to get him to ap- prove the plans of a suburban subdtviston. Mr. Davis was followed by Mr. Walter B. Stevens, presklent of the Gridiron Club. Mr. Steyens saki he hati.been playing against the policy game of insurance for a good many years, and the excursion and planked shad was the first thing he had ever gotten out of it. He fgit very much like the habitue of Alexandria eounty raee tracks who holds at Jast a winning ticket. He closed by reciting a very funny papody on Shakespéare’s “Seven Ages-of Man” in a re German dialect.

AllDruggits, 50c. and Ste quartet the dining hall was deserted, and shorlly afterwards the homeward trip on the Macalester was commenced.” In the lower saloon a genial party assembled,with Mr. Harry Davis as master of ceremonies, and an entertainment was begun that in- troduced many specialists of surprising merit. Mr. Riley Deeble sang ney Drs. Young and Fardon made bright speeches full of pleasant personal allu- sions, Mr. Lee Latimer recited, Mr. Sam Cross sang, and Mr. Paul F. Grove gave imitations of the phonograph and a singing eanary that were really remarkable. The boat reached the wharf at 8:15, and the happiest crowd of excursionists that ever went down the river dispersed for its re- spective homes. ————— USE OF STREETS. Several Decisions by the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals yesterday after- noon, in the case of James Hunter against the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company, decided that street railways are no more entitled to the right of way on the public thoroughfares than are per- sons. Hunter in 1891, while driving a wagon, was struck by one of the com- pany’s cars pear Sth street and Massa- chusetts avenue. His leg was broken and he sued the company, claiming $15,000 damages. A jury awarded him $2,500 dam- ages, and that judgment the Court of Ap- peals reverses, remanding the case for a jal. It s contended by the com- pany that a street railway has precedence of right of way just as a steam railway has, and that persons passing in the street should respect that right. In the court below the judge instructed the jury that it Was the duty of the-company to protect its ‘crossings by employing watchmen or flagmen, but the Court of Appeals holds that the speed on street railways being limited to nine miles an hour the com- panies are not obliged to use such extra- ordinary precautions, such precautions being left to the discretion of the municipal authorities, and that therefore the ques- tion should not have been submitted for the consideration of the jury. In the case of George R. Tolman, a Treasury Department clerk, who was com- mitted by Justice Hagner to jail because of his refusal or failure to pay his wife alimony, the court holds that Tolman was lawfully committed, and dismisses his ap- peal from the decision of Judge McComas, refusing his release on a writ of habeas corpus. The court holds that courts of equity are so entitled to enforce their or- ders in such cases, and declares that it would be futile to deprive them of such power. In the case of Leitch & Sons against the Emergency Hospital to enforce the mechanics’ lien, the court affirms the judg- ment below, holding that material men are not entitled to. hold mechanics’ liens. The complainants sold material to parties em- Ptoyed by the hospital and the court holds + that in such a case the employing party is not responsible. The judgment of the court below was affirmed in the case of Peck and others against Heurich and others, in which the plaintiffs sought to eject the defendants from property in Isherwood and Rosedale, the lower court holding that the proceed- ings were champertous. The judgment of the lower court was also affirmed in the case of John H. and George H. Taylor against the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company. The plaintiffs in the court below recovered a judgment of $3,000 because of damages upon the rental value of their property at 13% street and Maryland avenue through the occupancy by the road of tracks near their property. In the case of Wm. Golway, administrator of the estate of the late William R. Golway, the judgment of the court below was re- versed and the case remanded for another trial. The deceased was killed on the Balti- more and Potomac railroad at the 14th street crossing southeast, June 11, 1888, and _ in the court below the estate recovered a judgment of $7,000 against the road. In another railroad case—that of Joseph N. Webster against the Baltimore and Po- tomac Railroad Company—the judgment of the court below in awarding $4,000 damages was affirmed. The plaintiff was injured in December, 1884, in an accident on Maryland avenue near 9th street southeast. In affirming the judgment of the court below in the case of Sarah Harlow against Elic S. Carroll, in which $10,000 damages were asked because of alleged libelous mat- ter filed by the defendant's counsel in an- other suit, reflecting upon the character of the plaintiff, the Court of Appeals says that it would be a startling doctrine if a party to a suit should be allowed to violate crim- inal law in a court of justice. Freedom of speech, explained the court, does not fur- nish a defense for licentiousness in ma- licious attacks, and for an officer of justice to be guilty in such a matter may be the worst form of wrong. The gratification of private malice cannot be permitted, and while much latitude should be allowed, there should be some limit beyond which litigants may not go with impunity. In the court below the case was taken from the jury because of doubt as to the identity cf the person named in the answer, and the objectionable features of the answer were ordered stricken out as irrelevant, impert- inent and scandalous. In the case of the contest over the estate of the late Maria Cole, in which the con- testants prayed for a writ of mandamus ta compel Judge Bradley to sign their bili of exceptions, the petition for the mandamus was denied. ——— SIDEWALK OCCUPANCY. A Test Case Brought to Determine the Rights to Parking Space. Clayton M. Emrich filed a bill in equity yesterday against the District Commission- ers to test the legality @f the occupancy of the parking space on Louisiana avenue be- tween 9th and 10th streets, and on the thor- oughfares in that neighborhood. The com- plainant states that he has a place of busi- ness at 222 9th street, which he has pos- sessed for twenty years. He says he has covered the property with permanent sheds, in accordance with permits issued by the authorities, and claims that the Commis- sioners are about to harass and annoy him by threats of arrest. He claims that he cannot obtain tenants, and asks the court to restrain the Commissioners from_pro- ceeding against him in the matter. Judge Cox granted a temporary restraining order, returnable next Monday. It is said that warrants were issued yes- terday against merchants using the side- walks on Louisiana avenue and ‘th and 10th streets, the charge being that they are occupying public spaces for private pur- peses. The warrants are said to have been issued against the following, the cases to be probably heard tomorrow in the Police Court: Edward Woody, Francis Robertson, ir., Ed. Bowbeer, Nicholas T. Redman, Thomas J. Pickford, Fannie Greenapple, Gonser Gansapo, William Keister, Charles F.
