A Verdict Against the Gas Company.

In the ease of Samuel Lloyd VS., Washington
Gas-Light Company, in the Circuit Court yes
terday, verdict for the plaintiff was rendered
in each case. These actions were brought by
Lloyd against the gas company for dam.
ages sustained for turning of his gas at his
place of business, on ID street, between Ninth
and Tenth streets, in December, 1877. The
company claim this right under contract
which they compel every ono to sign before
they can obtain gas by the terms of which the
company have the right to turn Off the gas on
any premises where the bills have been paid
if the occupant is indebted for gas at any other
place. In this case the company claimed that
Lloyd owed for gas bill at his residence, and
for this reason they turned or the gas at his
store, although the bill at the latter place had
been paid. The plaintiff claimed that the con-
tract was unreasonable, and the court sus'
tanned the point John L. Norris and II. f.
Miller appeared for the plaintiff aud w. b
Webb for tho gas company.

1t was recently demonstrated to the citizens

of the cuisine, that gas as a fuel is one of the
most convenient, il not really tho most eco,

quiremonts of any and every species of cook
cry when its use is applied through properly
devised apparatus Such are many of the
numerous gas cOoking.stoves now in use both
in this country and in Europe; but especially
worthy of attention is the one that was used by
Miss Dodds, being the Snm-Dial Gas Store
