A Suit Against the Ga. Company.

A case of considerable interest to the
citizens of this District especially those burning
gas came on trial in the Circuit Court before JUS
tiee Macarthur yesterday afternoon. Samuel
Lloyd, in December, 1877, conducted a mattress
factory at No. 905 D street northwest. Lloyd
requested the company to turn the gas on,
but the company declined to do so OIL the
ground that Mr.. Lloyd had occupied resi-
denee on street northwest, at one time, and left
it with an unpaid gas bill Further they main
tanned that they entered into agreement with
all consumers that in case bill was left unsettled
at place they could not enjoy the privilege of
the gas at another until the first Indebtedness was
liquidated.
Mr. Lloyd entered suit in magistrates court,
and obtained judgment against the company for
500 damages for being deprived of gas between
December IL, 1877, and January /, 1878. In June
1878, Mr.. Lloyd entered suit against the company
for 81 547 damages for being deprived of gas from
January l, 1878, to the time of fling the BILL and
this is the cause now on trial. The defendants
deny that there is anything i'll their charter by
which they can be compelled to furnish gas to a
party when they do not desire to, and hold that
the court cannot compel them to do so.

BIG DAMAGES CLAIMED,
Ex-Secretary Schurz sued for Two Hum
dred Thousand Dollars.

On the 18th of April last the Hon. Carl
schurz, Secretary of the Interior, disbarred from
practice before that Department, General Charles
d. Gilmore, of the firm of Gilmore Co., patent and
claim attorneys Yesterday General Gilmore COM
menced suit against Mr.. Schurz for $4,000 dam
ages resulting from this disbarcnt ItappearS from
the exhibits TO be filed in this case that Gilmore
d Co. at the time represented nearly forty seven
thousand claimants, over twenty five thousand of
pensions, or arrears of pensions. The fees due the
firm are shown to be 81 64 $50. and this amount is
claimed as damages by General Gilmore. He claims
that his clients have suffered in like proportion as
himself, because of the fact that their business has
been unnecessarily delayed by his unjust debar-
ment, without cause, and because of prejudice
This suit, it is said, will be pressed to Judgment
and among the issues to be decided will
be the question whether an executive officer has
the right to disbar an attorney, and whether if
the right exists, one is liable in damages for its
improper exercise. The question to the liability
OF the Government for the acts of one of the heads
of an executive department will also be probably
raised. General Gilmore claims that several hun
dred thousand dollars of his property has been
virtually eonfscated by the act of Mr.. Schurz in
his official capacity Secretary of the Interior and
that there must exist remedy somewhere that
the disbarment was without cause he proposes to
establish In the civil suit already commenced and
probably in a criminal action in the future. Gen
eral S. S. Henkle and Hon. John N. Rice are attor-

Barrett, Geneyieve Ward. Blind Tom,
and the COmique.

Mr.. Lawrence Barrett appeared in two
as Shyloek in 1.-THE Merchant of Venice" and as
Ddrid GdTrjek In Robertsons comedy Of that title.
The character of ShyRocE is one that requires Pc
euliar talent to properly portray and to say that
Mr. Barrett fulfilled every requirement of the part
| is not giving him too great praise. The trial
| scene, which is so well known, was given by all
who participated with an intelligence and smooth
ness that's seldom seem Mrs.J. w. Albaugh was the
Potid, and sustained that role which is one of the
most noble ofShakspeare's female creations, most
admirably. The entire support was excellent.
The comedy which followed was q pleasant relief
from the sombre character ofthe tragedy, and was
highly enjoyed Mr.. Barrett's Gdrriek was even
more finished than the representation of the same
character by the lamented Sothern, there being
less of the boisterols element but the part being
fully as amusing End entertaining. Miss Annie
Story made her first appearance during this en-
gagement, sustaining the characters of Nerssd and
Mrs. Smith Her friends in this eity-and they are
very numerous-will be glad to learn of her i'm
provement.
Tonight Mr.. Barrett will appear as Richettea.

THE TELEPHONE TROUBLES.
Indications OF War Between tine Sub
seribers and the Company.

sert1cf6 ana the company
The long silence that has been main
| tanned is no indication Of the intention Of the
| patrons of the telephone company, who rebelled
against the imposition of the new rates, to yield
point. Whenever q case arises where the SUBJ
scrbers put to theest they stick to their COM
pact and permit the telephone to be removed.
Messrs. Mari Duva1l, real estate agents, control
one hundred houses. The telephone has been re-
moved from their Office, and they intend to COM
pei the company to take their wires of OF oil the
houses for which the firm is agent 1t is evident
that the struggle between the citizens and the
monopoly has only begun; but the latter are con-
fident that to them will come the victory.
An interesting incident, showing the spirit OF
the rebellious subscribers, occurred yesterday at
Brad Adams store, when an agent came into the
store to remove the telephone Brad told the man
that before he took the telephone out he should
first go to the corner of Eighth and streets and
take the telephone wires down from q house con-
trolled by Brad at that point. The man, after
some talk, said he would send the manager down.
1t was not long before another representative of
the company called upon the dealer in books and
stationery ..and made inquiry as to the trouble.
Well, you purpose to take this telephone out
because decline to pay the new rates, dOn'tyou?"
inquired Brad.
That is the order" was the answer.
Weli take it out them" said Brad; 1 went
into this thing with the rest and intend to stand
by the agreement made; but want you TO under
stand one thing: give you just twenty four hours
notice to take those wires from othe house on the
corner of Eighth and L streets, and if find them
on there after that time 1 shall charge the COM
pany for using my property and premises, and
will collect it too; -tontyou forget it,
The company's representative tried diplomacy,
but Brad was obdurate, and would not listen, as
he said he had laid down his ultipomatum;" he
had Joined the protective association in good faith
and would not be the first TO go back on them.

the officers of the company, and Brad wasleft mas
