A VERDICT FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
MI. Lansden Awarded @12,5OO Against

MI. Lansden Awarded S12,5OO Against
the Gas Light Company.
In the case Of Thos. G. Lansden against
the Washington Gas Light Company. John
Il. Mclean. its president: Charles B. Bal
ley. its secretary; William B. Orme. its as
sistant secretary, and its general superin.
tendent, John Leetch. the jury this morning
returned verdict in favor of Mr.. Lansden
giving judgment against the company, and
against Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Leetch. in the
sum of $12.5OO.
AS heretofore stated in The STAR Mr.
Lansden. at one time an employee of the
company. complained that the defendants
had published in the New York Progressive
Age, February. 1884, an article charging
him with falsely swearing before congress
sional committees in 1853 and 1894 as to
the cost OF manufacturing and distributing
gas.
The amount of the verdict was Just half
OF the amount confidently expected by the
great majority Of those who had followed
the case and the generally expressed opin-
ION at the city hall was that the company
nad escaped with a very light jude ment.
Inc defendants will probably note an ap-
peal. but Messrs. J. J. Darlington and J.
AItheus Johnson, counsel for Mr. Lansden
are conndent that the judgment will not be
reversed.

There Can BE No Division Between
Them of the Latter's Fees.
Ehe Court of Appeals has affirmed the
judgment of the court below in the case OF
Randolph d. Hopkins against the Ohio Ma
tional Bank of this city.
The plaintiff, notary public, sued the
bank for $,251.56. a balance Of 1881. IS
claimed to have been earned by him as a
notary public for protesting, noting for pro-
test and serving notices of protest on
divers notes. checks and other commercial
paper from October 1, 1892, to May q, 1885.
The bank denied the Indebtedness, claim
ing that Mr.. Hopkins had agreed with it to
divide his fees equally with the bank in
consideration for being allowed by the bank
to perform such work for it.
In the court below Judge Bradley held
that such an agreement was in contraven-
ton of sound public policy, no public officer
being permitted to divide his fees in pay
ment for appointment. and. therefore, void.
He therefore directed a judgment against
the bank for the amount claimed by Mr..
Hopkins, and the Court of Appeals, in an
opinion written by Mr.. Chief Justice
Alvey. sustains Judge Bradley's views.
Messrs. E. NJ. and w. b. Cleary and

PUTTING IL. THE. CONDUIT.
Busy Scene at the Crossing of the
0kbAe Line.

Busy Scene at the Crossing of the
0AbAe Line.
| There was a busy. scene all last night. as
we'll as all day yesterday, at the ntersec-
ton Of 7th and streets, where a force
of 100 men is employed in taking out the
crossing plates of othe cable and Metro
politan roads in brder to put in new set
suited to the underground conduit.
The task Of getting out the old plates
proved to be sigantic one. The concrete
which was put in to hold the roadbed of the
cable line is as tough as iron, and every
| cubic foot Of it had to be drilled out. Work
began early yesterday morning, the entire
DAY being spent in excavating and carting
or earth alongside the concrete, so that at
nightfall the men were just ready to at

track for the F street cars was built up on
planks running across a corner OF the SIDE
walk by the Interior building and all cars
coming and going switched over on this
single track
AS dark came a wagon load of lanterns
and torches was brought up and every con-
ceivable spot that could hold one or the
other was occupied by light. A dozen
teams of drill-strikers, consisting of one
man to hold the steel drill and two to strike
win the heavy sledges, attacked the mass
OF concrete which slowly yielded to their
incessant blows. AS the huge chunks were
thrown out the two cables, Whirring and
humming, were soon disclosed to view, and
large crowd of spectators collected to
see the working of the grip on the cars
lnat passed up and down every few min
u t. All the evening until after midnight
there was large throng gathered about
1ne place watching the work. The weird

dence of the hammers and drills, the con-
stantiy passing cars on 18th and F streets.

gers craning their necks to look out and
see what was going on, the outcries of the
men at work and the warning shout Of
srlpmen as the approached: Heads

pIunging of horses as they passed the
place, all combined to make it scene of
lively interest
rms morning a hole fifty feet square un-
uer both tracks had been excavated, all

up on blocks of wood and all the debris
carted away. The new crossing plate has

GERMANY AT THE 10TH CENTURY.
MT. SchOnnesfeldt's Lecture ut the
Catholic Uniyersity.


Catholic University.
A scholarly lecture was delivered yester-
day evening at the Catholic University by
Mr.. Schonnesfeldt on the subject of Ger
man Culture at the Opening Of the Six
tenth Century," The speaker was intro
duced by Bishop Keane. who spoke a few
words regarding the closer study Of the
history of Germany. He also said he
hoped that some one would show that he
has as great love as already has been
shown for the Celtic nation for the Ger
man nation by presenting chair for it in
the Catholic University.
Mr.. Schonnesfeldt said that a country
that has played so important a role in his
tory as Germany has ought to be studied
mere by the student Of today. He placed
the beginning Of German history at the
eighth century. He told how the country
was divided into petty states at first, with
no real head. Then, when this country
was included in the holy Roman empire
the emperor at Rome was but a shadowy
Ing about the nation so long as he wore
the crown.
Mr.. Schonnesfeldt spoke of how the
princes had everything in their control,
for they were given almost absolute power.
The feudal system which was at that time
found in Germany was the source of much
discomfort. The vassals and lords were
continually quarreling. Each petty state
was hostile to it's neighbor. There was
strife and contention on all sides, which
sometimes resulted in open war. At these
times robbery, murder and worse outraSes
were committed by the subjects. The
Shadowy heads seemed not to attempt to
make strong centralized government, and
so years and years were lost in strife and
contention.
The lecturer said that when the Refor-
nation began in Germany affairs were in
an unsettled state. People then turned
their attention to religious matters and
dropped civil affairs. Thus there was an
other delay in gathering the petty king
but they had dissolved.
Mr.. Schonnesfeldt told his audience that
it wa: not until the accession of Charles
to the German crown that affairs made
turn. This young man, who had spent
all his days in Spain. knew almost nothing
or the German language, and felt very lit
tie interest for the country. He already
carried upon his head several crowns, but
he was not going to be shadowy king to
any. not even to Germany. Again strife
and war shook the country, and again the
work Of consolidating the states was de-
layed.
So. at the opening Of the sixteenth CEN
fury, when discoveries were being made
when all other nations in Europe had been
formed into strong empires, with good CEN
trail governments, Germany was yet a
loose set Of states, continually contending
In closing Mr. Schonnesfeldt said that We
owe much to German culture; we have
gained much intellectual benefit from it,
and the country has progressed greatly.
Those years that were lost in strife have
not been made up, but they will be in the
future
