SCRAPS AND NOTES-GOSSIP.
GLEANINGS AND LETTERS
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.

PEDESTRIANS MUST BE PROTECTED.
Mr.. Charles E. Barber, patent at
tOrney, was charged in the Police
Court to-day with assaulting Miss
Columbia A. Mahoney on the 18th of
April, at the corner of Seventh and E
streets. northwest, by carelessly riding
over her and breaking her leg in four
places.
Miss Mahoney was crossing the
street when Barber was riding by on
horseback, and the horses flank struck
the lady and knocked her down, in
juring her severely ABOUT the head and
face, as well as fracturing her limb.
The testimony as to the speed of the
horse was contradictory, but showed
that he crossed Seventh street in a
gallop, and was prancing when the
lady was knocked down.
Mr.. L. G, Hine appeared for the de-
cised all possible care.
Judge Mills, in summing up the case,
said that the streets were for the Joint
and mutual use of pedestrians, bicycles,
eqUestrians and drivers, and all classes
were under reciprocal obligations to
protect the others. At the crossings
it was different; there the pedestrian
had absolute right of way, and all other
classes were bound to exercise the
greatest caution to prevent accidents.
The case presented no intimation of
intentional injury, but showed disre-
gard of the rights of pedestrians and a
lack of caution for their safety. He
proposed to show that pedestrians had
some rights which equestrians were
bound to respect, and he would.impose
a fine of $40. An appeal was noted.
Note the difference between this de-
cision and the one or two that the hon
orable and upright Judge Smell gave
some days ago. What good thing it
was that Mr.. Barber is a white man.
All, Mr.. Barber, had you been col
ored man, and it had of been Smell and

hours and fifty-nine minutes would
