MoY SINGS AssAILANT.
James cambridge 10 BE Arrnigncd
in the Police Court To-day.

An operation Will this morning be per-
formed upon Moy Sing, the Chinese laun-
dryman, who was shot several weeks ago,
for the removal of the bullet, which was
recently located by means of the X-Tay.
The patient is still at the Homeopathic
Hospital where the operation will take
place. and where he has been confined since
the shooting. His condition has steadily
improved. but il will be several weeks be-
fore he viii be able to appear in court.
James cambridge, colored. the waiter,
who was taken into custody Sunday after
noon, charged with the shooting, will be
today arraigred in the Police Court on two
charges, viz. assault with intent to kill
and HOUSEKEEPING. He has been identified
BY the Ch.naman. and there is other evil
dence tending st is said. to incriminate
him. which adds to the belief OF the police
that cambridge is responsible for the
crime When arraigned today cambridge
will probably be committed to Jail to await
the result of Moy Sings injuries He de-
MES his guilt.
Detectives Browne and Lacey have been
at work steadily since the arrest, trying 10
fasten ether charges upon the prisoner,
but so far have had no success. Numerous
other reports of burglaries have been in
vestigated and ether complaints are still
under consideration, yet IL is said that
nothing which would tend TO implicate
cambridge in the various outrages has been
brought to light.

erty used in the conduct OF their business.
The complainant is the Fidelity and De-
posit Company of Baltimore which is rep

II is alleged that in April. 1899, the de-
PENDANTS entered into a contract with the
District TO furnish ali material and labor
for the work Of sprinkliug, sweeping, and
cleaning the streets of Washington. Under
the circumstances, it Is stated. the COM
plainant became the surety on bond for
the faithful performance Of contract it
being stipulated that the defendants would
indemnify the complainant for any and all
loss sustained by il through any fault or
neglect Of the firm of Daggett & Dugan.

for the defendants.
When the matter was called to the at
tention of Justice Barnard he issued a
temporary restraining order, and argu-
ment VIII be heard on the subject tomor-
row.
Massrs. Jere NJ. Wilson and A a. Hoel-
ing, counsel for Dugan & Daggett, were
seen last night and stated that it is en-
tlrely untrue that their clients intend to
use the funds due them by the District
for their own benefit further than the set
Element against them as contractors for
the street cleaning. In fact it was stated
that their answer will show an entirely
different state OF affairs than that set out
in the complaint.

DR.. Wilson fully demonstrated his poly
pathic treatment for deafness. which is
bloodless, painless, and harmless and in
cIudes many improvements on the meth
DDS OF the best aurists or ear specialists of
the world. together with his own most
wonderful and original treatment. per
fected several years since. This treatment
embraces electricity in many forms ami
other means almost too numerous to men
ton. This combination h1= enabled the doe
tor to cure deafness for many years. but
now that his latest and greatest invention
the Biochymic generator. has been brought
into use. he finds that he cannot only cure
many cases of deafness and blindness that
were heretofore incurable. bur many per
sons have their sight and hearing restored
in less than half the time previously re-
quired.
The doctor was at his best. and handled
his subject in such q mastery manner rs
to convince all that lie is net only familiar
with every portion Of that intricate and
complicated organ. the car. but also with
every kind of treatment that has ever been
employed for diseases Of that important or

stroyed and the doctor pronounced the case
probably incurable, and was very much
surprised to learn that Mr. Gone could IN
derstand ordinary conversation in that ear
after treatment
Mr.. A. Heymer. aged sixty-two. of 1882

nothing in the left ear for five years; I'M

During the evening DR.. Wilson gave
names and addresses OF some of the many
thousands of his patients who had been
permanently cured of deafness, and Incl
dentally remarked that hundreds Of deaf
mutes who were born without hearing had
been made under this treatment, to hear
more or less perfectly. He spoke of a
young lady Miss May Atzbach, 50f Colum-
bus Avenue. Boston. who was for eight
years at the Northampton School for Dea.

many OF the best aurists in New York and

He also mentioned the case OF Alfred

ment a pupil in a deaf mute school in
New York City, who was given such a

GUARANTEE COMPANIES.
Assessor DnrncilIe's Report on IL
Bill Concerning Them.

The District Commissioners yesterday re
ceired favorable report from the Asses
scr on House bill eli3, To authorize the
formation of guarantee companies in the
District of Columbia. to whom it was re-
ferred for an opinion.
NJ. Darneille states that at the present
tiIne a number Of companies organized
elsewhere are doing a guarantee and in
demnity business in the District of Column
bia. These companies. he says, make no
returns to his office and are under no local
supervision whatever, whereas all insur-
ance companies authorized by act of Con-
gress are required 10 make returns and
pay taxes to the District government.
Therefore, the Assessor thinks IL would
be an unjust discrimination against local
institutions not TO grant the powers con-
tanned in this bill.
The minimum capital. $3.50, 900. provided
for in this bill, the report points out, is the
same required by the act of Congress ap-
proved August 10. 1894, entitled an act
relative TO recognizances, stipulation-
bonds, and undertakings, and to allow Ger
tain corporations to become surety there
on. which is an act regulating the accept
ance of bonds by the officers of the Gen
eral Government
With this statement OF the case the As
SCISSOR recommends the enactment OF the
bill into law. The bill in question reads
as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives OF the Uaited States OF America.
in Congress assembled, That any company now
authorized. which may hereafter b. author
lied, by act OF Congress, to DO an insurance
business in the District OF Columbia. having

1t is understood that the Commissioners

mendation of Assessor Darneille.
