Mrs. Sara A. Spencer appeared before Judge McComas in Circuit Court No. 2 this morring as defendant in the action brought by one of her former pupils, Miss Mira E. Macomber, charging libel and slander, and asking $25,600 damages. * It was finally decided by the judge that the werds used by Mrs. Spencer, as stated in the declaration, were not actionable, but, everruling objection, he permitted a juror to be withdrawn and the declaration amended. The case goes over to the Oct)- |.ber term, and will be tried next spring. The trial drew more pretty girls to court than have been there for many. terms. Mrs. Spenc+r was aceompanied by sixteen of her teachers and studeats, in bright sum- mer cestumes, 2nd M Macomber also was surrounded by a score of her sympa: thetic girl friends in their prettiest attire ‘The hearing rivaled the Cai fe interezi, and maz: the murder trial! Judge McComa: attending: Withdrew and crowded court. Messrs. Fitts and Keigwin appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Dartington for de- fendart. A jur: called, and then Mr. Fitts made his opesing statement, based upon the declaration. The suit was origi- nally filed March 20, 1807, and the com- plaint stated that “the pi:xintiff has hereto- fore sustained an unsullied character and reputation, and has but receatly arrived at the siate of womsanood or ihat time in her life when her reputation is ef ines- timable value to her.” It then recites that Miss Macomber had been attending the Speacerian Business College since October, nd that on rer dismissed her, he wes of a bad ct unfit person to be asso udents. The declaration charged also that Mrs. Spencer on th ‘y said in a loud iee uigan and others that plaintiff “was a girl of bad character and an unfit person to associate with my nd if she had any character left rch 12, Neged that Mrs. sent the foliowing letter to plain- her, George L.

It was not advantageous for her to continue ia tendance and nothing I could Go would make any change for the better. It would not be of any service for me to go into details, but I would not willingly consent, if she were my daugh- » to her living away from home under any circumstance: : Mr. Darlington waived his opening and the testimony was offered. Miss Macomber Testifies. Miss Macomber, the plaintiff, a goo looking young woman, becomingly dressed, evidently distressed by her surrounding testified to the facts alleged in the deciara- She was followed by her aunt, Mr: igan, and her father, Mr. Macomber, who presented in court the letter, quote the declaration, which he had receive rom Mrs. Spencer, and who said also tha lis daughter's health had been injured b the charge brought against her. M Mabel Hopfenmeier told that Mr Spencer had declared Miss Macomber was unfit to associate with the students. Darlington moved that the case le 1 from the jury and dismissed on th ground that the werds comp‘ained of are jionable. This was strenuously re- y the plaintiff’ ‘The judge sustained, however, the point made by Mr. Darlington To Amend Declaration. Mr. Keigwin asked that the plaintiff be allowed to withdraw a juror, to amend the declaration and continue the case till the next term of court. Mr. Darlingtun con- tended that the case should be dismissed, end that it would be imposstbl of educational institutions to govern pro: erly their students and exercise the essen- tial moral discrimination if they were to be held before courts upon libel and slan- der charges based upon remarks made in the privacy of the school or in letters to pupils’ parerts. Judge McComas held that there was a defect in the pleadings. The words said ‘o have been used by Mrs. Spencer, he he'd, are not actionable, as alleged in the declz ration. He granted, however, to plaintiff the right to amend and continue the case. “It appears to me, from the evidence pre- sented for the plaintiff,” said Judge M Ccmas, “that Mrs. Spencer was reck' in the use of her tongue and reprehensible in atiff. If it should , then Judge Me portunity, wit the plaintiff to e: is opinion that, from thi ‘ utation of the youre wd been un- shed pricr to the cession com- of, but, he added, for the benefit of Mrs. Spencer, that the case should next be tried before another judge and jury. + INTERESTING DECISIONS. e evidence, the A Saflor Shot While on Liberty Ashore Entitled to a Penston. Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, readered decisions in a number of jon ea: s them being ¢ affecting peusion attorneys, in which the assistant secretary affirms the action of the commission er of pensicns. The case is that of CE. Foote, aitorrey’s claim for fee in the case of Thomas J. Edwards, Ist Michigan Volunteer Infantry. In this case the principles were laid down that: “Where two or more claims for pension are pending in tehalf of the same person, instruments of evidence fi by an atto! ney wil! not inure to bis bencrit as material service rendered in more than one claim, ss he indorses upon said instruments : sets forta in their contents the several claims to which they are intended to ap- ply. The assistant secretary reverses the ac- tion of the pensicn bureau in the case of James L. Ferris, yeoman in the United States wavy, in which he holds that: “A sailor cn shore for exercise and recre- ation, by permission of his officers, occu- pies a different status, with respect to line of duty, from a soldier absent from his cecmmand on a pass or furlough, and should be regarded as in the line of duty 89 long as he conforms to the conditions of the permission granted him, and is guiliy of no misconduct. The claimant having been shot in the lip, by some person un- krown, while ‘on liberty’ by proper permis- sicn, and the weight of the evidence tend- ing to show that he was not in fault, the rejection of his claim for pension on the ground that the wound was not incurred in the line of duty was error.” sd Berlean Day, alias Henry Johnson, who was tried last week in Criminal Court No. 1, for grand larceny, from John W. Boteler, has been declared guilty by the jury, and Judge Bradley remanded him to jail to await sentence. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Body Found in Canal—New Passenger Station—Notes. ‘The body of an unknown colored man was fished out of the canal this morning at 4:45 o'clock by Policemen Connors and Brown. The remains had evidently been in the water for several days, and on ac- count of their condition, instead of being taken to the morgue at the seventh pre- cinct, were conveyed in the pairol wagou to the sixth precinct. The pvlice have no idea as to the identity of the man. The drowned man looked as though he might be anywhere between ‘thirty and forty years of age. That he was a laborer was clearly evident by the biue overalls and blue jacket of the same cloth and heavy shoes. Greund has been broken for the new passenger station of the Metropolitan rail- road on 36th street between Prospect ave- nue and N street. The building will have a frontage of twenty-seven feet, with a depth of fifty-four feet. The waiting room will be the entire width of the building, with a depth of thirty feet. The rear por- tion of the station will de fitted ap with toilet rooms, and also quarters for the jan- itor. The front of the new station will be of cark gray mottled brick, with fancy designed bricks to harmoniz2. The passen- ger room will be finished in quartered oak, with, ceiling of stamped metal. The entire Place will be illuminated by ele2tricity. Thomas Sullivan, a young white man, end printer by trade, was arrested Sunday night by Policeman Berryman and locked up on a charge of assault, the complainant being Jokn Reith, a brother to Policeman Reith of the second precinct. The assault took place at 36th street and Prospect avenue. It is said both parties were scram- bling for a seat on a Great Falls ear, and during the melee Reith was jabbed in the eye with the end of an umbrella, inflicting an ugly and dangerous wound. Sullivan claims that the point of the umbrella acci- dentally went into the man’s eye. He was arrested, and later released on $10 col- lateral. Reith =was unable to appear in court yesterday, and Sullivan was rear- rested by Policeman O'Dea, on a char contempt of court, and released on $500 bends.

A number of prominent residents in the vicinity of 17th and I streets have filed with the District Commissioners a protest against the issuance of a permit for the erection of the proposed apartment house at that corner, a description of which was published in The Star of Friday last. Thé protest is based on the alleged ground that the building regulations do not permit of the erection of a building of the height proposed. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, representing these protesting against the erection of the build- | ing, called upon the District Commission- | ers today in the-matter, and was assured that the permit will not be issued, if at all, until after there shall have been an opportunity for both sides to be heard in the matter. The date of this hearing will be announced by the Commissioners later. The paper filed with the Commissioners was as follows: The undersigned, property owners and residents in the immediate neighborhood of the northwest corner of I and 17th streets northwest, have this morning beard for the first time that the Commissioners in March last decided that under existing building regulations an apartment house or hotel may be erected at the cornér named 110 feet high. ‘This action of the Commissioners was taken without our knowledge and without any notice to us that any application for such a structure was being considered. What the application was we Lave not yet been. able to ascertain. it certainly could not have been made by the present owners, who have acquired title within a few days. We now, on the first opportunity afforded us, respectfully and earnestly protest against any permit being issued «liowing the erection of a building at the place above mentioned of the height of 110 feet or of a height excceding 90 feet. Our objections are that such a structure would be an irreparable injury, a Ganger to and a disfiguremefft of the neighber- hood, and that a permit to build !t would be in palpable violation of the existing building regulations, which :n terms pro- hibit the erection on a residen: street of | a building of more than 90 feet high, or a building exceeding in height the width of the street in front, which is 0 feet. We also request that your decieion or order of the 3ist of March mzy be re- considered and set aside, and any permit issued may be rescinded. It was signed by the following well- known citizens: Charles C. Nott, Julia C. Lindsly, Enoch Totten, Richard 'C. Dean, C. P. Russell, James H. Watmaugh, Aug. C. Tyler, Walter S. Cox, Anthony Pollck, Nath’l Wilson, Mrs. Stanley Matthews, J. M. Wilson, Francina M. Maxwell, Cal- deron Carlisle, Ralph C, Johnson, Arnold Hague, Mary G. Niles, Katharine Davis Brown, M. Ashforé, Swann M. Burnett, Jos. Redfern, F. A. M. Hopkins, Harriet Lane Johnston. Views of Judge Cox. Mr. Justice Cox, who was one of the sign- ers of the paper addressed to the Commis- sioners, said today that the object of the petition was to protest against the erection of a building at a greater height than either the width of I street or 17th street. He said that Farragut Square was not a art of 17th street. The proposed building to be, he said, 110 feet high, while the width of the streets named is not more than 90 feet. Judge Cox also said that there was a building regulation which prohibited the erection of a bu.iding in a resident section of the city higher than 90 feet, and he thought the proposed site was plainly in a resident section. —_+ Mr. Downs’ Suit. N. Carroll Downs’ suit against the Metro- politan Railroad Company, W. H. Hailen ard Maurice F. Talty, was today on trial in Circuit Court No. 1, Chief Justice Bing- hem.
