alienation with the regular Bridge trains, ana
an arrangement for not less than ten nor more

SUED FOR INJURIES.
Blind Negro Begins Action Against
the Capital Traction ComDany

The trial of the suit of Richard Bumbrey,
blind negro, against the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad, for $4,000 began
before Judge McComas yesterday, with
Mr.. Campbell Darlington for Bumbrey and
Messrs. Totten and Davidge for the road.
Dumbrey was put off a car at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue in May,
1891, and received injuries from which he
suffered severely.
When the testimony for the prosecution
was in, Col. Totten asked n continuance till
tomorrow morning. He had examined
forty men, and had never been able to
learn anything whatever about the case on
their side. He had never been able to
find on what car or at what time of day
the alleged INJURY was inflicted. He had
learned today for the first time from the
evidence introduced that it was Car 120.
Mr.. Darlington said that the suit was
filed five years ago, and in that time the
defense ought to have been able to learn
from the facts set forth in the declaration
what they had to offer. But he did not
object to postponing further hearing as
long as might be wished.
Judge McComas set the further bearing
for 10 n. m. today.

on relating to the counting of a Quorum.
There was some objection TO this nro.
posed change by several members, SO we
passed that over for the present. We
can call it up at any time. but practicalIy.
the rules have been disposed of. There
is no present necessity for the RapioJnh
