JUDGE MILLER ARBITRATEs
I'm Several Cases Where Parties Could
Not Agree.

I'm Several Cases Where Parties Could
Not Agree.
Two months age Frank Richardson ap-
peared before a minister and was made the
lawful husband of young woman. He
made promises, and so did the fair Jennie
but one of them failed to keep them and
there was trouble. Judge Miller was APP
pealed to this morning to settle the differ
ences which brought a sad ending to their
honeymoon. Frank admitted that he was
little violent, and said his wife was going to
leave the house and that was what caused
the i'll feeling
Jennie declared that she had been ordered
out of the house and she was going to re-
turn to the house Of her parents when he
assaulted her. She was not anxious to have
the court infiict severe punishment on her
husband, nor did she want him to be sent
to jail Judge Miller settled their little diff
Guilty by imposing fine Of s. or fifteen
days.
Felix Mcdonald. a South Washington
grocer, and his sister failed to live to-
gether without trouble. and they. too, had
to appear in court to have their differences
settled. The store belongs to a third party
and Rose Duffee. the prisoners sister. has
helped Felix to run the business and make
living. But Felix loves liquor so well
that he fails to attend to the business, as
well as not treating Rose with the love
and affection man owes his sister. In
addition to i'll treating, Rose he assaulted
the officer when placed under arrest, and
for this an additional charge was pre-
ferred against him. Fines amounting to
$50 or ninety days in Jail were imposed.
George Washington's birthday Is not I'M
til Thursday, but George appeared today
for assaulting Ella Dorsey. George and
Ella had been good friends, but there was
some reason for trouble between them and
George became pugilistic. He was given
board and lodging for thirty days.
Walter Bryan for similarly treating Rose
Walker was sent down for the same length
Of time.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Nuisances Complained of Now Abnted.
Last week the several health inspectors
received complaints of 1856 nuisances and 328
nuisances We're abated.
Food Inspected.
The food inspectors last week condemned
100 pounds of beef, chickens. 1 duck. Is
birds, 6 rabbits and a small quantity of
fruits and vegetables.
The Deductions Were Proper.
In passing upon the protest Of the WASH
irgton Gas Light Company against deduc-
lions for defective lighting Of certain gas
lamps, the attorney for the District, to
whom the matter was referred, holds that
If the consumption Of gas was less than
six feet per cubic hour, it was below the
standard fixed by the law and the con-
tract, and the gas light company was liable
for a deduction of cents per hour. For
these reasons he holds that the deductions
complained of were proper.

THE SUGAR MARKET,
Anxiously Looking for Tips From the
Senate Finance Committee.

Senate Finance Committee.
There is an amusing amount of anxiety
displayed by the clerks and other en-
ployes about the Senate as to the outcome
Of the deliberations OF the tariff subcom-
mittee, especially on the subject of sugar.
The sweet staple may be really said to
have absorbed the attention Of the entire
legislative world. Like summer flies the
small fry as well as the big fry f1utter
over 1t. fascinated by the chance they
think they see in 1t to make fortune II
they can only get the straight tip in time
to take the market at the right moment.
what do you hear about sugar." is the
prevailing question. give me some news
about refined stuff" demand the would-be
Croesuses, eager for reliable information.
AS a matter of fact there is little or no
reliable Information afioat. The subcom-
mittee are not allowing any to escape from
their custody. So the anxious spectators
are being left in the dark hoping that
before the bill finally becomes public they
may get on the inside and descend on the
market.

SPELLING REFORM.
A Petition Asks the Senate to Begin
the Reform.

Senator Chandler today presented in the
Senate a joint resolution of a remarkable
character. which was referred to the COM
mittee on education and labor. The title
OF this joint resolution, which was written
in a semi-Spencerian hand, covering two
score OF pages. is as follows: Joint resolu-
ton to encourage the better spelling of
English. to make easier. more logical and
more rapid the work of pupils in learning
to read. and to reduce the cost of printing
and writing"
The preamble Of the resolution is a work
OF art, of which ex-senator Evarts of New
York might easily be envious There Is
probably no one alive who could read from
period to period without taking a breath
The petition provides that the public
printer is to spell in the future in accord
a1ce with the twenty-four rules Of the
pathological societies of England and Ameri-
ca, which are mainly the same as the
phonetic spelling rules that have frequent
iy been recommended to Congress
