THE deceased wife's sister bill has

iority, but this has been
done before. The House Of Lords has
been the stumbling block of the past
and may be again, although 1t IS now
said that the prospects OF the measure
are better than at any prevlons time.
If the urgency of the matrimonial ar
rangcment between Louis of Hesse
and Beatrice can be impressed ON the
Lords it is probable that the bill Will
DE railroaded through in short order.

There was a story about the late
Duke of Bucceuch which went 'tne
round of the news papers some years
ago. He and the then Duke of North
cumberland found themselves in a
carriage going northward with a com
mercial traveller. The conversation
was general between the three At
Alnwick Station the Duke of North
cumberland got out and was borne
away in a snowy equipsge. That
must be a swell, " said the CONNER
cial travler DO you know who it

replied his Grace Of Buccleuch. And
they say" exclaimed the traveller,
that our nobility is naughty. Why,
he talked to two snobs like you and
me as though we had been his pals. "

The discoveries recently made IN
New York and Brooklyn as to the
aduiterauon and "colorlng' Of coffee
simply emphasize facts already
known. The manner in which the
people of this country are imposed
upon by dishonest dealers in food
products would not be tolerated in
any other nation ON the globe. A man
who doctors coffee with arsenic i'm
order to give it an appearance neces-
sary to command a higher price in the
market should be treated the same as
a well-poisoner or confidence man.
There is no difference in the degree of
guilt Authorizations have become SO
common IN nearly all branches of
trade and have been tolerated with So
much patience that many industries,
the outgrowth of the brazen demand
for spurious articles, are now Ina ex.
istence with no attempt at conceal
ment. To nothing but the most
astounding public indifference car the
extent to which these dam
gerous practices are carried be attribu-
ted. II is true that this growing evil
should be met by the most rigorous
state and municipal legislation.

Something over month ago Judge Wylie,
in the criminal court, assigned number Of
what Is known as tho ex-dotectivo cases for
trial on June o. That time arrived yesterday,
and when the court convened there were
District Attorney Worthington in the
interest of the government, Mr.. A. b.
Williams in behalf OF the defendant, and u
number of spectators present.
MIR. Worthington said that IL was the day
assigned for the trial of certain detective
cases, After examining all those specially
assigned he found that all of them, excepting
one, camo under the ruling of the court made .
in the case of McDovitt and Finder, in the
National Metropolitan bank robbery, and he
supposed that tho court would adhere to
that ruling.
"Ycs," said Judge wylie al have consid-
cred that ruling since the trial several times,
aud / see nothing wrong in it,"
Dir. Worthington said he supposed that
such would be the decision. lie would enter
q nollo pros. in all Of tho cases except tho one
against George U. Miller and Charles Gay,
for larceny. As to the latter case, no would
like 1t to 20 over for the term, which would
only be one week, In order that it might be
further considered whether to nolle pros. or
prosecute the case.
MIR. Williams said that the request was
reasonable, aud personally he did not object,
but in the case proposed to be continued Col.
Ingersoll was the leading counsel. Ho had
just arrived in the city from Chicago, and
should be consulted. As far as the speaker
was concerned, tho request preferred by tho
district attorney was u reasonable one.
Judge Wylio also considered the request
reasonable and directed tho case continued
for the torn. Tho cases dismissed were
against George o. Miller, three cases; George
w. McElfresh, four cases; Charles L. Flindor,
one case, and James A. McDevitt, one case.
The indictment, tho consideration of which
has been continued for one week, charges
George o. Miller and Charles Gay with
larceny of the diamonds, Watches precious
stones, &C., from the room Of ex-senator
Christancy, at tho National hotel. on Sept.

In the house yesterday afternoon Mr.. Bar

house bill No. 716l to amend chapter 20 OF
tho revised statutes relating to the District

DIR. BONDS TRIAL.

Against his Own.

Tho Testimony Of his Accusor Set Up
Against his own.
The trial of DIR. S. s. Bond, y we'll known
practcing physician of this city, on tho
charge of committing rape on Mrs. Louisa
Carr, on tho afternoon OF the 9th of las {
March, was commenced before Justice Wylio
in tho criminal court yesterday, District At
torney Worthington appearing for the gov
ernment and Col. William A. Cook for the
defendant.
The testimony of tho prosecuting witness
was the principal evidence in tho case and
most Of 1t WAS unfit for publication. 1t was,
in brief, that the physician had been called
in to attend young child, and while in tho
house he compelled hCr first to submit TO an
examination in order that he might ascer-
tain the result of an abortion which he had
previously produced upon her. After that ho
took liberties with her person and compelled
her to submit to his wishes, although she re-
sisted his advances as far rs she was able.
She admitted on cross-examination that
she had previously called at the doctors
ollice, and said she went there at q time whom
she was in a delicate state and wished him to
help her
Philip Carr, the husband, did not know
much about the circumstances connected with
tho charge, but testified TO engaging the
uOCJor 10 lorlOrln an hDOrtlOn on MS WIG, lOr
which he was to pay $25. Ho saw the opera
tion performed, but the bill had not been
paid as 1t had not been presented.
james A. Rutherford, q grocer, next door to
the house of Mrs. Carr, testified that tho car
riage of DIR. Bond was in front OF Mrs. Carr's
house for over an hour.
With this evidence the government an
nOunced that it rested tho case.
DIR. 5. S. Bond, the defendant himself, was
called as the first witness in his own defcnse
He said that he visited the house of Mrs
Carr in response to her request to attend her
sick child. lie was taken to the second story
'front.' room, where the child was asleep on the
bod. At his request the blinds were opened,
and he examined the child, found that no i'm
mediate attention was needed, and so
stated. He then walked down stairs,
talked about fifteen minutes, and left
He was IN tho house probably half
an hour. He denied the statements of Mrs.
Carr of having improper relations with her
or having used threats toward her. He had
treated her rs n lady, and tho statements she
made of misconduct upon his part were
untrue
Several witnesses were called to prove that
Mrs. Carr was untruthful, but they testified
that they knew nothing of her general
reputation.
The government had some rebuttal as to
her good character, about as strong as that
offered against her which was received and
the testimony in the case closed.
At this point the court adjourned for the
day.

Their interiors, which formerly wore busy

the depositors, and l hope all of them will
then come forward and examine it,"
Mr.. Smith also stated that ii would be
| impossible to approximate either the liabili-
ties or assets, and that he had been detained
during the day by about sixty depositors who
called and asked questions.
| Tho reporter then visited Mr.. Squior's
residence, 15l4 X street. A trim looking
servant girl answered the door bell. She
said, "You cannot SEQ Mr.. Squier He is

Referring to the failure of Squiers bank a
prominent banker SAID, "Tle house has
never been regarded in Washington monetary
circles rs II banking house, but more as a
brokerage establishment. There could be
but one result when a firm advertised to pay
from to s per cent. interest on deposits.
| The sign board that announces such u large

casions offered to pay per cent. interest per
month on deposits. 1t is probable that he
made such offers as tho above in order to ac-
commodate army officers when his available
| funds were low"
Mr. Green, the assignee, was found at
Middleton's bank. He said to the reporter ::
" will get out a statement by the latter part
