The new r'sbieycle barn. of the Young

THE RAPP DAMAGE SUIT.
1t Is Probable That the Case VIII BE
Compromised.

1t Is very probable that the case of Rapp
versus The Washington and Georgetown
Railway Company. which has been before
the Supreme Court OF the District for over
four years, will be settled out OF court.
The case came up for the third time last
Thursday before Justice Hagner, sitting in
Circuit Court No. 2. but. on account of a
clerical error in the declaration or the
plaintiff, was postponed until tomorrow. 1t
was stated yesterday that the attorneys
representing both parties to the suit have
agreed on terms OF settlement. and in all
probability compromise will be effected.
The plaintiff is represented by Messrs-
Henry e. Davis and c. c. Tucker, and the
defendant company by Ross r. Perry.
The plaintiff. Henry Rapp. was formerly
a newsboy and in his declaration states
that in the fall OF 1884 he boarded Wash
ington and Georgetown car going west at
Twenty ninth Street for the purpose Of
selling a newspaper. He says he was
pushed off the car by the conductor and
was run over by a car coming In an op-
posted irection, and that one OF his legs
was so crushed as to necessitate its being
amputated He filed suit against the rail-
way company for $4,000 damages, and his
claim has been twice submitted to Jury.
Each time he has been awarded damages.
Inc nrSt time q VSTulCI WAS TeuueIeu lok
S3500, and the last time the damage was
assessed at 5000.
The necessity for the postponement Of
the case on Thursday when 1t was called
up for hearing was a surprise to all con-
cerned, when It became known that the
cause was clerical error In the declara-
tion, which had been submitted to critical
inspection for several years. The error was
discovered by Justice Hagner, who pre-
sided at the hearing. That an error existed
in the papers connected with the case
was all the more surprise to the at
torneys because of the fact that before
the first trial the defence filed a demurrer
to the pleadings, and a whole day was
spent In argument and scrutinization OF
the declaration. Even after this, two trials
have been gone through and no errors de-
tected by either counsel or justices.
The error lay in pointing out the direc-
tion in which the car by which Rapp was
injured was moving. According to the
wording of the declaration. the car was
going "east" from Twenty ninth to Thir-
tieth Street. This is plainly an error, for
if it were going east from Twenty ninth
Street. it would have next arrived at Twen-
fy-eiehth Street

one occasion assaulted her with his hands.

Bids OF BUILDERS
UNIFORMLY TOO HIGH
.=---- .-.-.n =
More Delay in the Erection
of Schoolhouses.
Commissioners May Ask Congress
fur More Money.
The Lowest Proposal Opened Was
$4,000 Higher Than the
Amount Available.

More delay in the erection of the three
schoolhouses authorized by the act OF
Congress last June was caused yesterday
when--hids were openedcat the District
Building for the construction of one of the
buildings to be located in Fifteenth Street,
between Rosedal e and SGaies Streets. north
west. The bids were too high.
The lowest bid was about $4,000 higher
than the amount available for the build
ing and within an hour after the opening
the Commissioners. decided to reject the
bids, just as had been done three times
previously in the case of the proposals for
the new Lovejoy School.
The call for bids was widely advertised,
but notwithstanding this only three were
received. and or this number only one
bidder, the firm of Gleason & Humphrey
submitted formal proposition, the other
two having failed to make deposits OF
$1,000 as required in the specifications.
The bids Were as Follows: w. E. Speir,
$4,000; Richardson & Burgess. s37,21i.
and Gleason & Humphrey $685. with
$500 extra for cement and $500 extra for
floors with steel girders in schoolrooms.
One bid for furnishing heating apparatus
for the same school was opened. 1t was
submitted by II. l. Gregory and the amount
was S2.450. ~-r
surprise was expressed Dy the tOIliuiS-
sioners at the small number of builders
submitting bids. Lack OF interest was not
thought TO be- the cause, as a score Of
builders We're present when the proposals
were opened.
The Appropriation for. the Fifteenth
| Street school was s37. 800. The Commits
| sioners -have already expended SS,924.95 Of
| this amount for a site, and exclusive OF
heating apparatus only $4,000 remains
available for the building.
The three school buildings authorized
by CoHgress,in June 1885,, were the Love-
| joy, the one for which bids were opened
| yesterday. and a thirti,Nto be located at the
corner of Second Street and South Caro-

| for the Loyejoy school three times and
were rejected as often. Bids for the third
school, 1whiehsw be situated in Southeast

Commissioners will lay the whole matter
before Congress, explaining that under
present, conditions and0the high price OF

BILE tog have schools erected within the
| limit OF the appropriations.
During the last six months the Commits

the three schools completed early, that

ing much-needed school room for the use
