The mammoth credt-house on the cor
ner of Fourth and Broad streets has be-
come one of the most prominent business
institutions in Richmond. They carry an
immense stock of goods, and are equip
ped to furnish either cottage or man
sion. complete. from cellar to attic. They
nave furnitures in complete sets, and In
odd and special pieces, in every variety OF
seasoned woods and designs. Their install
ment-plan enables a man 10 furnish
house complete at 1he minimum imam
cial inconvenience, ana, as their methods
are strictly honorable and their conside-
ration extremely kind, IL is small wonder
that their business has increased year by
year until they have attained their pres
ent proud position. Among the special
ties which will cater TO the holiday trade
are noticed fancy rockers and easy
chairs, beautiful lounges, banquet. par
lor-. and hall-lamps. d vaiied assortment
OF china tea and dinner-sets, ladies'
writing desks, unique designs in glass
ware. handsome clocks, various conceits
In rugs. Rogers's plated spoons. knives,
forks solid-gOld- or flled-case watches,
all grades OF carpets, linoleums. and mat
tings, ornamental parlor-stoves, gas
stoves. bookcases, paper-racks, fancy
toilet-bottles, pictures, bric-a-brac, ana
many other articles too numerous TO
mention, which includes every conceivable
article than the housekeeper can possibly
need. They buy direct from the manufac-
tories. and are thus enabled 10 give their
customers the benefit OF the middleman's
profits. which is consideration not
lightly TO be estimated. Their shipping de-
partment constitutes complete outfitting
depot. and all goods are delivered
promptly on the same day that they are
bought.

COURT OF CLAIMS.
Important Cases to Be Tried In the
Present Session.


The Court of Claims reassembled yes
terday after q long summer recess. There
are over 10000 important cases on the
trial docket. That of Sharp & Dohme,
druggists at Baltimore, will probably
attract a large share fpublicinterest.
This case is brought TO test-the validity
of the free alcohol clause of the new
tariff act, in SO far as it applies 10 alcohol
used in manufactures.
Another case closely allied TO the Sharp
& Dohme case is that of Robert Dunlap,
the New York hat manufacturer, which
differs from the former case inasmuch as
there seems to be some question as 10
whether alcohol used in manufacturing
hats comes within the meaning OF the act.
Another important case to be tried viii
be that involving the question whether the
act of 1888, which gave letter carriers
compensation in excess of eight hours a
day intended that the eight hours should
be consecutive. The Post-office Depart
ment has held up to this time that there
may be intervals between the working
hours, while the carriers contend that Con-
gress did not contemplate that they might
be laid off half an hour or less three or
four times a day, while waiting for mails.
The case which will test the law comes
from New York.

BELIEVES In ANTI-TOXINE
Health Officer Woodward's Views
Of the Use Of Serum,
His Confidence In the Remedy Can Be
Broken Only by the Presentation
of Incontestible Facts.

The opinion Of DR.. Cook, the Chicago
physician who has pronounced SO em-
phatically against the use or anti-.oXin as
q remedy for diphtheria, was called to the
attention OF Health OFFICER Woodward tins
morning in continuation of the inquiry
started by The Times to obtain the senu-
nients of Washington physicians concern
ing the merits OF the serum.
DR.. Woodward has Just returned TO the
city, and had not seen the paper contain
ing the results OF the previous Interviews,
but said his confidence in the anti-diphthe
ritic remedy, as II is now called, would be
broken only by a complete statement of
facts.
- Had / diphtheria. or should any of my
friends take it, l should feel that the omis-
ion of the use of anti-toXiDe would justify
the charge of neglect"
A later adverse opinion than that uf Dr.
Cook was shown DR.. Woodward. 1t was an
expression of opinion from ID. B. Douglas
NJ. D., professor of diseases OF the nose.
and throat in the Posig graduate Medical
School and Hospital of New York, Who
said:
''In treating diphtheria and all acute
inflammation of the throat, mild medi-
cines given often will serve you far
bettet than harsh and heroic treatment
at longer intervals. | do not believe
that anti-toXine has come to stay. Prof.
Winters recently gave us at the New
York Academy, an expose of its use in
the Willard Parker Hospital for con-
tagious diseases. 1t seemed to do more
harm than good"
Upon this DR.. Woodward made this COM
ment:
''Dr. Douglas is specialist, and doubt
less is good one, but diphtheria is not
simply an acute inflammation of the throat
1t affects the entire system, as is shown
by the partial paralysis, and occasional
total paralysis, that results.
II have listened to DR.. Winters argu-
ments, and he produces no facts to dis
prove the multiplied figures given of the
efficacy OF the serum.
"Anti-toxine with not destroy the ba-
cili in the throat, and for that reason anti
septic sprays are used in conjunction; but
the remedy will cure the patient.
1T operates just as other remedies
do in case of smallpox; the patient
recovers before he is freed .fr ON the
presence of the disease germs. They ex.
ist in the half-healcd eruptions, and it
would be dangerous to permit him to min
gle with others.
~ do not now know of single physi-
clan in Washington who agrees with DR..
Cook or DR.. Douglas. 1 have myself
implicit faith in the virtue of anti-toxine."

ASSAULTED HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Dairyman Callahan Arrested on Com
platnt of the Zfezekes.

John J. Ccllahan, dairyman, living
above Georgetown, was arrested by Po-
liceman Lohman, of the Seventh precinct,
last night on two charges of assault and
battery preferred by FraZ Ziezeke, and
the iatter's wife.
The complainants allegc that they moved
into the house of Callahan's father, at the
intersection of High and Thirty-tbird
streets, some time ago and opened small
fruit store against the wish of the pris-
oner, with whom they were not on the best
terms.
Last Friday, it is alleged, Callahan came
TO ZIezeke's house and without invitation
entered and dema nded that the premises be
vacated. He was ordered out. whereupon he
assaulted Ziezeke and Knocked him down
a flight of stairs after which he rushed
to. an upper room in which was Mrs.
Zlezeke and proceeded to assault her with
a broom.
The man then made his escape into
the county and was arrested yesterday
when he came into town to serve his Gus
toners, on warrants sworn out by Ziezcke
and his wife.

FRANK MURPHY ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of As.
sauIting Amelia Garet.

Frank Murphy, the watchman at the
State Department who was arrested by
Detective Carter a week ago last Friday,
charged with committing a feionious assault
on Amelia Gsret, the five-yeIr old daughter
OF Emil Garet, IL sculptor. was tried before
a jury in Judge Miller's court yesterday
afternoon and acquitted. Garet resided at
No. 1920 G. street northwest, and it was
alleged that the little girl on returning
from school was called into the building
by Murphy, and after being presented with
some rubber bands, was taken into a dark
room and assaulted.
Lawyer Campbell Darlington represented
the defendant. and Assistant District At
torney Mullowney conducted the prosecu-
ton. The child was put on the stand and
gave clear and intelligent account of the
alleged assault. number of witnesses
for the defendant testified to his good char
acter, and in some respects the story of the
little one was contradicted. The jury re-
mained in consultation about half an hour
and returned verdict of not guilty.

VIRGINIA WOODS AFIRE.
Big Tracts Blazing in the Forests
Back of Arlington.

For the past three days forest fire
about a half mile above Arlington has been
raging, and from reports from Fort Myer
several acres of woodland have been de-
stroyed.
AT late hour last night the sky south
of Georgetown was illuminated by the
blaze, which could be seen from high points
in West Washington. The residents in
Arlington are fearful that the fire will
extend to their settlement, and are cut
ting down trees and underbrus.l bounding

OUR TROUBLESOME DOCKS.
Texas Can Only He Lifted in Brooklyn
Mt High Water,

The Navy Department is again embar-
rassed over the dry dock question, and
the best governed dry dock in the United
States-that at the Brooklyn navy yard
is concerned.
1t has been deemed advisable to wait
for high water before attempting to dock
the battleship Texas at Brooklyn, although
it was believed the dock there was capable
of allowing the entrance of the largest
vessel in the navy at any tide.
The decision not TO dock the Texas
except at high water is due to the fact
that the sides of the dock are too angu-
iarly inclined inward. making it somewhat
risky for ship with so great bulge as
the Texas to attempt to enter excepting
under the most favorable conditions.

GOuld'S Joke.

While sitting in the Arlington lobby
had more than once noted a gentleman
of commanding appearance and super
latiVe MEN, says writer in the New

sion | have in mind it was evening.
The gentleman entered the lobby with
a brisk air of Importance and tossed q
light silver-gray Ov0coat to one of the
bell-boys. He then squared himself TO
have it placed upon his back. The bell
boy busted the garment in the most
obsequiOus fashion and helped the gen
tleman into the coat in a manner SO
profoundly servile that | at once came
to the conclusion that the party in the
coat must be prince OF the purple
sure. He was clothed in a dress coat,
the tails whereof hung a proud sis
inches below the short overcOat he had
dawned, and, being apparently aware
that he was perfect in all his appoint

THAT is L. Sanford Beatty" replied
the gentleman. Il supposed that you
knew him
What is his mission on earth?" I
asked "Legation?'
No. replied my friend, mot lega-
ton either, although he is one of the
greatest diplomats in the city. No,
he went on. Beatty, in the first place,
| believe, is a dim relation of Mrs.
Brice-cousin, think. His profession
is entirely social. His title is social
secretary to Mrs. Brice. He pilots the
Brice family up and down the crowded
channel OF Washington social life, and
| pay his diplomacy a distinguished
compliment when | say that from first
to last he has not bumped them into
other craft, nor rubbed off any Of the
paint, nor has he had them aground
once. There has never been a moment
when Beatty couldn't show plenty OF
social water under the Bricean keel.
What is the detail of his duties2 I
cannot exactly tell. Beatty has abso-
lutte charge of all social functions Of the
Brices. He arranges their dinners
makes out their menus absolutely dom
mates the dinner list, invites the right
ones and avoids the wrong ones as il
they were pestilence. In fact. he
is fashion of Malvilio to the Brice
household. He directs the energies OF
the butler, tells him what wine to IN
