rather dangerous sport, especially when
said valise is left in the aisle Of a George
town street car. So alleges Joseph B.

$1,000 damages on the ground of having
been permanently injured by being tripped
up by a valise in a Georgetown car Sep

the top of the house to the bottom. espe-
cially when one is Gagged up in the ele-
vator which has parted company with its
cable support, is serious business. to say
the least. Albert Settles wants S25 o0o
damages from the Washington Gas Light
Company. alleging that while employed
by the company he had the bad luck to
use the elevator at the time its cable
broke, precipitating him unceremoniously
to the bottom and injuring him seriously
and permanently. This is said to have
happened April 10 last at the gas works,
Twenty-sixth and G streets.
Frances p. Deck. in her suit for s10, 900
