WASHINGTON CITY, Jan 30. The fact
that in few weeks there will be another ex-
president, and Mr. Clevelands age and
health give promise Of still another
who will last some years, has
revived the project for pensioning
presidents by making them life senator's.
The main objection to this life-senatorship
scheme has been that it would give
some states three senators. To obviate
this it is now proposed to make OK
presidents honorary senators for life, having
the pay OF senator's the right to a seat in the
senate, AMI right to debate, but without
the right to vote, and without any obligation
to attend sessions of the senate This scheme
is being talked up to some extent

the anomaly of allowing each of them to

A Claim AGAINST the CITY.

Joseph Dessar owned a lot in Henderson's ad-
dition to the city in 1874. In answer to a petit
ton of citizens for an alley through that
addition, Council appointed commissioners to
consider and report on the request. This was
in September, 1874, and following the action of
the commissioners proceedings were had in
Council, according to which the alley was
opened. Assessments on a~butting property were
made, but the amount-$110-charged to the
Dessar lot was not paid until 1883. Yesterday,
in the Superior Court, Mrs. Hannah Dessar.
widow of Joseph, brought suit against the city
Of Indianapolis relative to this Improvement.
She sues to recover $3.50, alleging that the COM
missioners were an Illegal body, because VIM. j.
Elliott, ~Icnatius Brown and Peter Weis, of their
number. were not freehollers Of this city. 1t is
further charged that Joseph Dessar had no
actual knowledge of the improvement until
three years afterwards, he having removed to
New York city. He received no summons TO ap-
pear before the commissioners, and it was no2
until 1877 that he had notice Of the charge
against bis property. Mrs. Dessar says that she
paid the amount under duress, and that Council
did not within twenty days after the action Of
the commissioners by a two-thirds vote make
appropriation of real estate for said improve
ment, as should have been done. or adjust the
assessments to the benefits acquired by the
property in question.
