The case of Benjamin Whips against
the District of Columbia was placed on
trial this afternoon in Circuit Court No. l..
The plaintiff claims damages in the sum of
$4,000 for injuries received by him on or

in constructing a sewer on 9th street. and
had erected over and along the highway
an overhead apparatus or device for the
purpose of lifting out and carrying away
the dirt taken from an excavation there
being made; that the defendant allowed the
overhead apparatus device to remain In
an unsafe and dangerous condition. and in
consequence thereof the plaintiff, at or
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, while
using the street as necessary means
of egress from lime kiln to which
he had been for a barrel of lime. and not
knowing the dangerous character of the
overhead apparatus or device. drove his
horse and wagon across the street, and
while he was directly beneath the same,
part of 1t struck the plaintiff on the side
injured him.
The plaintiff is represented by Attorneys

trict and Mr.. c. A. Brandenburg, one OF

A Carriage Charity.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Allow me space to suggest form of
sweet charity lost sight of by many kind
people. It Is the use of Il vacant carriage
or even seat in one. Should the owner
of n carriage which stands idle during
church time, or perhaps throughout the
summer season, wish 10 make some one
very happy could he not send the coachman
to one of the numerous homes in this
city. and let him drive two or three old
ladies a mile or more, for air and change
in their sheltered, though monotonous lives?
The matrons would gladly arrange matters
so that each person would in turn partake
of this delightful diversion. Many persons
leave their teams in town when they go
away for the heated term. The horses
must be exercised, early or late in the day
and these good women, who often cannot
afford even a car ride. would be glad to go
a. such hours suited, thus killing two
birds with one stone or even three: horses
exercised. ladies pleased and charity ex-
tended at one and the same time.
