WEAR ON FURNISHED HOUSES
Docs the Rent Received Pay for the
Damage Done.

Damage Done.
For years past the custom has prevailed
in this city to rent houses furnished, and
advertisements can be frequently seen in
the newspaper where entire establishments
are offered for lease or rent. Senators,
members, and prominent people from ali
parts OF the country, who spend their win
tiers here, propose entertaining, and very
often are not prepared to purchase estab-
lishments, and IL Is the wants Of such as
these which create demand for large houses
furnished throughout with everything re.
quisite for first class house excepting.
Houses OF this character rent all the way
from 5000 to $500 per month. The return
on the investment to the owners is de-
cidedly remunerative, although the wear
and tear is considerable, and there is al
ways more or less dispute and controversy
when the tenants are about 10 vacate. A
few days since public man rendered the
keys, at the expiration OF his lease, of fur
nished house which he had rented for the
season. His entertainments during the
winter were frequent, and on most lavish
scale. 1t was said that not only hun
dreds, but thousands had been present on
some OF these occasions, and the Jam and
crush wassimply immense. While acclaims
and eclat Injured to the host, furniture, car
pets, and bric-a-brac suffered proportion
ately, and the wreck has sInitten the soul
Of the owner with abiect despair. The
tenant has been notified that the house will
not be received from him until IL is restored
to the same comparative condition as when
rented. II a compromise ia not effected,
the difficulty may end in litigation, when
1t will be judlcially determined how much
ice cream, salads, terrapin, butter, &c, may
be smeared over costly upholstery, how
much bric-a. brac fractured or destroyed,
the measure Of expectoratlon, and the
number Of cigar stumps TO be thrown upon
rich carpets and rugs, and how many stains
from rum punch and champagne can be put
upon tables, mantels, and chairs without
rendering tenant liable for extras.

THE RoM1sER PENSION CASE.
Reasons Given by aouse COMMITTEES
why This BIZ should Bo Passed,
NotwIthstandInK the Presidents Veto.

Reasons Given by House Committee
why This Bill Should Ito Passed,
Notwithstanding the Presidents Veto.
The report presented TO the House by
Representative Morrill,, from the committee
on invalid pensions, on the Presidents
veto Of the bill granting pension TO Joseph
Romiser, recommends that the bill do pass,
Notwithstanding the veto. The report
says:
"The files OF the pension office, upon
which the committee based its favorable
report OF the bill, were not sent TO the
President, through the carelessness OF some
clerk, so that he was under the impression
that no application for pension had been
filed. Several allidavlts are attached TO the
report to show that Romlser received his
wound while resisting threatened attack
on Cumberland, Md, being member Of
volunteer company. IL has never
been held as an lnsuperable bar to PEN
sion that a claimant had not been regularly
mustered into service the established re-
quirement being that IL must be shown the
party was wounded while rendering service
In defense OF his country In a legitimate
way and under the direction Of proper
officer"
Prccedents are cited to support the al
lowance OF the claim, and IL Is said: Gan
OF these bills met the hearty approval OF
your committee, for their rule has been TO
recommend passage OF bills granting PEN
sions to persons who were wounded or In
iured while honestly defending the flag OF
the country, even though by some techni-
cality their cases did not come within the
scope OF the general law.n
AS one Of the presidents, the report then
touches upon the case Of Catherine
Waters, whose son was shot while serving
In provisional company defending the
town OF Cumberland from attack, and for
whose relief bill was passed this session
"The question presented TO your commit
tee is not whether under existing law he is
entitled to pension III he was there would
he no occasion for special enactment);
but the point presented is, Did this man
render such a service TO the United States
as to entitle him to receive from It favor
able consideration Of his claim? Your
committee believe he did. Voluntarily he
responded to its call for aid, and In doing
so received terrible wound, from which
he has ever since suffered, and the effects
Of which will follow him to his grave. In
conclusion, the committee express the
opinion that had II not been for the failure
OF the clerk TO submit to the President the
proper papers there would have been no
occasion to make the report In the Romiser
case.n

that operators are waiting and watching,
especially for the outcome OF the meeting

Defining Their Power as TO Appeal
Bonds.
A case OF Importance 10 Justices Of the
peace and to landlords with obstinate
tenants was yesterday heard and decided
In the court in general term.
:, In April last jean Mex. Hoover brought
suit before Justice Mills against Thomas A.
Littleiord for the recovery of possession
OF a house. The cnse was removed Tor
trial TO Justice OF the Peace Rutlodge Will
son, who, ON May 20, gave Judgment for
the plaintiff. On May, 25th, the de-
PENDANT, having appealed, offered, before
the Justice, two sureties on his appeal
bond. One Of the suretles proving INSULT
Client, the bond was rejected. On the 10Th
OF May, and after two days notice to his
adversary OF new Buroties, the defendant
again appeared before the justice, and, the
suretes being found sufficient, entered
into the statutory appeal bond TO make
good all intervening rent and damages to
the landlord arising on the appeal. The
landlord, by his attorneys, admit
ting that the bond was good as
an appeal bond, objected TO IL as a
supersedeas, and demanded writ Of exc
cution, basinG the claim ON rule 1906 OF the
court, which provides that the bond must
be submitted for approval, where the appeal
is to operate as supersedeas, within six
days, Sunday excluded, aud when the APP
peal is not to operate as q supersedeas,
within ten days after Judgment. Tho
magistrate, taking the ground that his
power was exhausted after approval OF the
bond, and also that one surety only was re-
quired by law, and that he had erred in re-
fusing on May 25 to approve the bond then
rendered, refused to issue-the writ. The
landlord, then, by her counsel, Birney &
6irney, applied for writ Of mandamus TO
compel the issue Of execution. Mr. Wilson
having answered, setting out the facts, the
case was yesterday morning heard In gen
eral term, when the court directed the
mandamus to issue, overruling the justice
OF the peace on all points.

Rushing Into Danger Destroys Mans
Chance for Damages.


- George A. Vehmeyer, in passing down
Massachusetts avenue northeast to his
work one morning in company with others,
on reaching the point where the rails Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company cross the
avenue, found the thoroughfare' blockaded
by standing freight train. Not moving
he jumped up between two Of the cars
with the intention decreasing over. Hardly
had he got between them when the train
started, and one Of his feet was crushed.
Subsequently suit was entered against the
company for 100000 damages, and when
the trial came on In the circuit court this
state Of facts was proved. The judge ruled
that the testimony showed contIibutory
negligence uIon the part of the plaintiff,
that he was not entitled to recover, and
directed the jury to return a verdict for
the defendant, which was done, and the
case went up on appeal, Justice james
yesterday delivered the opinion of the court

Horizontal Reduction.

There is an understanding in the Senate
that when the river and harbor bill shall
have been perfected item by item, a mo-
tion will be offered to make horizontal
reduction, bringing the aggregate appro-
priation to point somewhat below that
OF the House bill; this will have the effect
OF putting every item into conference. The
proposed reduction will probably be fixed
at the rate Of 25 or 80 per cent.
