He Denied Il.

James Ryan, the young man who was
held several weeks ago on suspicion Of hav-
ing caused the death of William Gouldman
by riding against the latter with a bicycle
on AZ street southwest. was in the Police
Court this afternoon, charged with striking
one of the inmates Of a house on d street
in the Division, with such force as to dis
lodge four Of her teeth and render her in
sensible.
At the time of his arrest for the bicycle
accident Ryan's hand was injured, and he
explained the cuts by saying they We're re-
ceived by striking woman in the Division.
His statement was corroborated by several
companions, but Ryan today denied the ac-
cuSation, although he swore at the coro-
ners inquest that he struck the woman.
The latter was unable to positively identify
Ryan as her aSsailant, so Judge kimbau
dismissed the case.

by many doctors. Women are often
treated specially for sick headaches, dys-
pepsia, melancholy, or what is supposed
to be liver OF kidney affection or heart
disease, when in reality tie whole trouble
is with the reproductive organs. This
delicate and intricate organism and the
rational treatment for its peculiar all
ments is life study for the wisest physi-
clan. Probably no practitioner living
has higher repute in this special direc-
ton, than DR.. R. v. Pierce, Chief Cor

of the trouble from the inside: 1t is not

and regularity, and completely banisf,es

which wear out body and mind. Its

Justice Alvey's Dissent.

The opinion of Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey,
dissenting from the majority of the Court
of Appeals. in the matter of the contest
over the children Of the late VIM. H Slack,
was filed today. 1t is an exceedingly vol
luminous document and the chief justice
holds that the old English statute of
Charles II, empowering father to dis
pose of the guardianship and tuition of
his minor children, was in full force and
effect here when Mr.. Slack appointed his
sister, Mrs. Perrire. the testamentary
guardian of his children. The chief justice
also holds that that statute should have
been so respected by the New Jersey court
and that the decision of the New Jersy
court is not binding upon the courts Of this
Jurisdiction.

Continuing the Cases Against Dealerd

Todny-They All Bought f6t
Especial Custemers.

Tho case Of Samuel ]. HfDCaally, charged
On two indictments with violating the oleo-
margarine laws, the trial OF which was
commenced yesterday, was given to the
jury at 10:4Q this morning. In the absence
of District Attorney Birney. his assistant.
Mr.. Jeffords, concluded the arguments In q
few words, contending that q clearer case
had never been made out against an &C.
cused person. Judge Coles charge to the
jury was not materially different from that
in the Deutermann case.
The next case called was that Of Joseph
H. Goodrich, charged on two indictments
with selling oleomargarine without license
and also without having stamped it as
such. The jurors called into the box, as
was done in the McCaully case, were close
liam Kemp and Aloysius P. Geier being
challenged by Mr.. Birney. they having
stated that they are customers of Wilkins
& Co., dealers in oleomargarine.
The Goodrich Case.
In explaining the case to the jury Mr..
Jeffords stated that Goodrich is engaged in
the grocery business at Sth and F streets
southwest; that he sold to Florence Davis,
a young colored woman, half a pound of
unstamped oleomargarine the 29th of last
January as and for butter, and that be-
tween the 1st of last August and the I'D
of this month he was retailing the stuff
without the license required by the oleo-
margarine laws.
Arthur G. Van Horn, the young man en-
p1oyed by the revenue officers, testified to
furnishing the Davis woman Is cents with
which to purchase the alleged butter; that
ne saw her enter Goodrich's store and that
ne handed the stuff she bought there to
Dr. CHAMPION, the government chemist.
Ihe Davis woman testified to making the
purchase, and Dr. CHAMPION testlned to
ahalyzing it and finding 1t to be oleomar-
ssrine.
McCaully Guilty.
At :25 the jury in the McCaully case re-
turned, stating that they had found him
guilty Of retailing the stuff without a Ii
cense. but not guilty CT selling 1t to Flor
ence Davis.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Davis, McCau1ly
was released on a bond of $500 to appear
for sentence, Walter p. Wilkins qualifying
as his bondsman. The penalty for the Of
fense of which McCaully was convicted is
fine of not less chan $50 nor more than
$500
The trial Of Goodrich was then resumed
when Revenue Officer Bowen testified that
he had discovered oleomargarine in Coed
rich's store. and that when questioned
about it he gave the stereotyped explana-
ton that he was buying and selling it to
customers On their express orders. He
gave none of their names, but stated that
books. ---
Deputy Claggett stated that Goodrich, in
applying several weeks ago for license as
q retail dealer in the compound, Swore that
he had been engaged in the business since
the 1st of Is st August.

No Careless Bookkeeping at the Tax
Office.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star,
Referring to the inaccurate and unjust
statements in a communication in your
state in justice to this office that every
dollar paid into the Office is properly cred
tied on the books. Consequently when
he states their books tour books had
no entry Of payment he does not state
a fact.
Property IN arrears for water main as
sessment is reported by water office for
assessment. This Office has no knowledge,
however, OF an erroneous advertisement
for water main assess ment in name OF
John Chester
In regard to the tax certificate, another
natter over which this Office has no con-
troll of which fact Mr.. Chester must lie
are. / have only to say that the error
in regard to the number of lot was one
liable to be made by the most careful
clerk. As to the notation of tax due. the
books show that the second half of tax
for the year ending June 30, 1896. was
paid May ~, 1s6. not May G, 1896,
Mr.. Chester states. AIR. Chester asked
for certificate for June Is, 1S96; the books
of the assessors office were no. posted to
that date, and from the very nature of
the case could not be, they did not get
the books until about the 10th of June,
and could not be expected to post the en-
tries for half years taxes in ten days,
but after exhibiting his receipts he did
receive a clear certificate.
Those who make such serious charges
should be more accurate in their own
statements. Z. @. DAVIS,
Collector of Taxes, u. e.
