A LIBEL SUIT DISMISSED.
The Lower Court Sustained i'm the
GOttIiek Splitter Case.

In the Court Of Appeals yesterday an
opinion was handed down in the case of
Israel Splitter, who brought suit through
his next friend, Gottlieb Splitter, against
Samuel Friedlander for malicious libel.
The decision of the lower court dismissing
the prosecution was sustained. The suit
was the result of the Indictment of the
plaintiff by the defendant about two years
ago for embezzlement, which suit also
failed.
The plaintiff in the proceedings just
ended was at one time employed by the
defendant Friedlander as cashier. He was
suspected of making false accounts, and
at the instance of Mr.. Friedlander was in
dicted by the grand jury for embezzlement.
When the matter came 10 trial Splitter was
acquitted and then he instituted suit for
malicious libel against Friedlander.
In the case of C. Henry Ashton against
the District for 500 damages the verdict
of the jury in the lower court was re-
versed. The plaintiff alleged that he was
injured while aboard a car Of the Metro
politan Railroad Company, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth Streets, in f
Street, during the time the District was
constructing a sewer along that thorough
fare.

The question OF continuing the Refuge
for Small Animals was thoroughly dis
cussed and as the ground on which 1t is
located would ere long be taken by the
city for the widening of Nineteenth Street.
it was unanimously voted to close the
place on the 1st CT July next, and the
agents will thereafter attend TO the chlo-
reforming of such animals as may be re-
ported to them. Mrs. Robert Armour,
Chairman of the Committee on Humane
Education, reported 10 bands of mercy
formed in the public schools of the city
since the 1st Of January, with a mem
bership of about 4,500.
Mr.. Pratt reported that in a recent COM
munication from the Rev. Alexander
Mackay- Smith he bad stated it TO be his
wish TO furnish the Iext drinking fount-
ain for animals that should be needed in
the city, for which vote of thanks TO
him was passed. The amount received
for membership dues during the month
was Sl79 and donations sl3. An inspection
by Agents Rabbit and Wright of the
slaughter house of John Johnson, ON the
Foxhall Road, near Georgetown. and OF
the Washington Slaughtering and Cold
Storage Company, at Benning, d. c., was
reported, which revealed a good deal of
cruelty in the killing of animals in the
former, but little in the latter. which the
agents were informed would be rectified
at once. The abattoir was stated to be
in the most complete order.
Agent Rabbit appeared before the COM
mittee to complain of a case of great
cruelty in the transporting of a load of
mules by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany that had been kept without food or
water for over forty hours. When the
case was brought into court it was decided
by the court that while deserving of a
heavy penalty, the wrong person had been
summoned and the case was dismissed.
The agent was instructed by eminent
counsel in the committee TO enter proceed
ings against the railroad company.

Justice Bradley sitting in Criminal Court
No. 2, after hearing argument on the mat

Falk for his release on writ of habeas

Falk's counsel maintained that the de-

Taylor and Roodhouse for cancellation OF
the water main assessment against prop
erty in lot I, block 10. belonging to Thorn
as R. Senior. in LIE Droit Park 1t is
claimed that Senior should be exempt from
payment OF the assessment because he had
paid s125 to A. l.. Barbour, who had laid
a private main in Elm Street for the
privilege of tapping that main. The at
torneys maintained further that this pay
ment was equivalent 10 paying the water
main tax to the Commissioners, "as Mr.
Barbour had undoubtedly paid for the
privilege of introducing Potomac water
into lie Droit Park"
After submitting the request to the Wa
ter Registrar, the Commissioners decided

featuring industries of the
United States until competition, once
presumed to be the life of trade, has
been almost annihilated. When Presi-
dent Cleveland, in his annual message
to Congress in 1887, declared that as
to tariff problems the country faced a
condition and not theory, he meant
more than that there was a surplus in
the treasury Conditions, which, grow
ing out of prohibitive tariff duties,
were more alarming than those result
ing from heavy importations which
Sweiled the treasury receipts. The or
ganiza ton Of trusts in the highly pro-
tected lines of manufacturing had been
demonstrated as entirely possible and
highly profitable. Combinations in the
manufacture of bagging, of castor oil,
of cordage, of many articles in the
metal schedules, of textile fabrics and
other articles in the schedules, although
none of them to the proportions since
attained, had already exerted power
for the restriction and output in "a
closed market which had aroused the
fear and opposition of the advanced
thinkers of the day regardless of party
prejudices.
