WITNESS WANTS HER FEES.
Corporation Counsel Says She Must
Collect of the Plaintiff.

Miss L. K. Miller of 10 9Th street north
east in a letter to the Commissioners states
that she was a witness for Anna 4. w.
Fraser in suit against the District, and
that she went to the court for six days and
the lawyer refuses to grant her pay for the
entire time. She wishes to know how she
can get the full amount. The corporation
counsel A. B. Duvall. was asked for his
opinion in the matter.
He has stated that the writer should be
informed that since she was a witness for
the plaintiff in this case. she will have to
look to her for the payment of her fees and
not to the District of Columbia
1t appears. says Mr.. Duvall, that the
certificate as to the attendance of witnesses
filed in this case by MIR. Andrew Y. Brad
ley, the plaintiffs attorney. shows that the
writer only attended court two days. This
certificate, however. is not binding on the
witness. and the party who summoned her

made by Congress for the payment of the
judgment. the certificate could have been
corrected. and the full amount due her

LODGES A COMPLAINT.
Condition of Grounds of Georgetown
University as Left by Contractors.

university as ASIC ny SouLIdClOIS.
Rev. Jerome Dougherty, president of
Georgetown University, has complained to
the Commissioners of the condition in
which the college grounds were left by
the contractors who are constructing a
sewer through the property. The college
management courteously granted the Dis
trict permission to lay the sewer through
the grounds some time since ut is
menace to the health of our Students, says
Father Dougherty, "as well as violation
of the agreement between the District and
the college, by which it was stipulated
that as far as possible the college grounds
should be left in the same condition as
existed before the sewer was laid. In view
of the fact that the right of way was
given for one dollar consideration may be
reasonably claimed for our request that
an official of the District be sent here
to see the present state of our property.
Assistant Engineer Black has reported
that the contractors for the sewer have
not restored the grounds and wish to wait
before they do so until the sewer is COM
pleted. Father Dougherty stated that he
wished to call attention to the inSanitary
condition of the grounds caused by. the
discharge of college sewers. 1.-THE college
sewers says the engineer, formerly dis
charged into the stream in the valley of
the grounds, but the stream has been turn
ed into the new sewer, and the college
sewage allowed to find a new channel and
in so doing has settled in low places and
become Objectionable. The college sewers
will be connected with the main sewer
within the next few days, which will en-
tirely remove the trouble. Father Dough-
erty will be so informed.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTS.
Conclusion of Suit of Howell Versus
Schneider for Damages.

In the case of Frank A. Howell and wife
against Ferdinand T. Schneider, surviving
executor of the will of Louis H Schneider,
deceased, and the firm of Moore & Hill,
Justice Barnard, in Circuit Court No. l. to-
day directed the jury to render verdict in
favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs
sued to recover $4,000 damages for injuries
alleged to have been received by Mrs. How
ell the 18th of July, 1900, from the falling
of a flush tank or water box in the bath
room of premises sO6 18th street, owned by
the defendants (Schneiders), and rented
through Moore & Hill. 1t was shown that
the flush tank was effectively fastened to
the wall, causing 1t to fall.
Justice Barnard, in disposing of the case
held that there was no implied warranty on
the part of a landlord in renting a house
that it was safe for the purposes for which
it was let. that the defect was a latent
one, equally unknown to the landlord and
tenant, and that inasmuch as the owners
of the house had no notice, actual or con-
structive, of the defective condition, they
were not answerable in damages for the in
jury received.
The plaintiffs were represented by Attor-
neys Douglass, Blackstone and Sheriff..
and the defendants by Attorneys Samuel
Maddox, VIM. G. Johnson and H. Prescott
Galley.
