I want to be th o Jeweler who first comes into your mind. Solid silverware is growing- in popularity mj- sales in this line are constantly increasing. In view of this the manufac turers are putting forth their best efforts to make attractive articles. Many novelties have appeared this fall, and the present low price of silver makes them very in expensive and correspond ingly popular. It would be hard to tell of all the beautiful things I am selling. ET H. DAVISON, Jeweler, 1 05 F ST. N. W. Judge Kimball sat In both the upper and lower courts this morning, and discharged the double duties with as much case and rapidity as he Is wont to exhibit In ful filling his duties In the lower court. Ut-orgo WatLlns, a colored boy, who has been raised in a white family, was charged with assaulting Susan Ik all, a white cham bermaid, in the ltichmond flats The as sault occurred on July 22, and the police bale been looting for Walklns since that time Susie is a frail, refined little girl, and she said she never bad to work until her father died. Then the little home ivas broken up, and she had lieen compelled to flud em ployment at tho flats On the 2Jd of July she hail to go another floor, and had started for the eleator. Watkins refused to let her get in the lift. There was no rule to the contrary, so Snslo protested that she Mould not take the long vvjlk up the stairs KICKUD HER liHUTALLl'. Very much vexed at his refusal, Susie in her rjge spat nt the boy and then ran. Wulkim pursued her up the' stairs, and uiuble to escape, she crouched in the corner and then the brute kicked her in the ubdorucii lie then escaped and lay lit hiding until last night when Policeman Joyce, who was out for a spin on his wheel, saw the boy skulking down K street. Watkins ran, but the cycling officer is an expert and soon overtook hhu. The girl lay sick for weeks at the I'mergency Hospital, and her life was despaired of by the physicians Walklns got off with three months in Jail. Richard Ford had to answer to an as sault ou Carrie Powell. Carrie turned a badly disfigured ocular organ up al his honor and asked him if that wasn't a beauty. Ills honor was a little taken back at the question, but replied thai It was.and intimated that a pretty hcay fist had leeu forcibly pushed into Carrie's eye "Do It look like It were a fist?" queried Carrie. What wai It?" asked the Judge "How did 1 know. Did you ever see any body who was knocked down and knocked out at de tame time who knowed wlAt hit tnL' war besan. was made by- falling on a stone. Kent didn't like this testimony, and shook his bead and muttered that it was a He. Bis disgust was increased wheu tbe prist oner was dismissed, and be left the court room with but a poor opinion ot tbe Jus lice to be obtained in the city whose name he bears. Seven colored people who live In Fhll llpp's court were charged with being drunk and disorderly. They rushed the growler in actlclpat o i of a coining wed ding in the court, and eooh all were roar Ing drunk. Annie Lewis and Heckle Beall were specially noisy, and commenced to do tbe breakdown to a tune raised by the others. Annie and Heckle got thirty days and tbe rest fifteen HAD A FIT IN COURT. Michael Lanhndy , who was filling In the dock awaiting to be tried, at this point fell over in a fit. Lanbady has been a fa miliar In tbe court for years ard this is tbe first time It was known that be was subject to fits. Be was not feigning, as a doctor who was called in bore wltncrs. Lanbady was carried off to the borpital. William H Edmuudson, aged twenty nine years, and Harry F. Wainwrlgbt, gaed nineteen, were arraigned on a charge of being eurplcious characters. They were arrested becaure they happened to be In the neighborhood of a Jewelry chop early last evening. Edmundflon is evi dently a ruan of education and good breed ing and be gave a good account of hlnitelf , but Judge Kimball cent him down for fif teen days. Wainwrlgbt was released on his perronal bonds on consideration that be would leave town by 3 o'clock this evening. CHARITIES Three Institutions Submit Re ports to theCommissiorrers.

Ford was given thirty days in JalL DEALT IN SPELLS . William C Brooks, the voodoo doctor, who was arretted on the charge of being a suspleio-s character, was the next one. Be is an old, decrepit man. who has during the greater iart of the four score years which he has lived done many queer Job? Be is the embodiment of spells ai d spooks The people In tbe neighborhood are sure Brooks is In rohnots Willi his Satanic Majesty. A nnie Minor says that the doctor whisiered to her that "a black woman had crossed her luck, and she had better catch and kill a glow worm from the graveyard" Annie went to the graveyard, but could not find such a rarit as a glow worm. Anolhe r colored girl w ho was about to b married said that Brooks had said to iter that she would d'e wit'iiu three months if she didn't have all ot the spel'i taken away Brooks o nee served eih I J ears for somesuch prBctlrrs which were proved upon 1dm. The doctor Jook lhc,s,taud and said it was all a put-up Job on him. Be tried to go backand 'cite ancient history. The Judge, in giving his decision, said that Brooks was one of those who prey upon the isnorance and superstition of the col ored people of theclty, and any one brought up on that charge, and against whom there was any evidence, would be held Brooks was given three months in Jail JUST A FAMILY JAR. George I team and his lawful and wedded wife, Johanna, indulged In a flatiron throw ing contest. George wished Johanna would leave the house, and Johanna that was the very thing she'd do. So she began to move out, but George chokedand beat herso her so that she was glad to get off without carrj iug a way anything. George got thirty days In jail. Patrick O'Neill came Into court as usual after pension day. Last -quarter be came in drunk and was given sixty days. Be lias been out about, a month, but as soon as he got his money on Wednesday his good resolutions were broken. Judge Kimball took pity on the poor old fellow and took his personal bonds. Kent Washington limped Into court and said he had been assaulted by Wesley Lewis, and showed a head bandaged with a big white cloth. There was a doubt asto his having been bit or whether he had fallen dowu. The physician who dressed bis wounds said that the cut looked like it The regular monthly meeting of the Confederate Veterans' Association was held last night, and it Is understood that the session was as stormy as thedays of G 1. The borctary read the minutes of the previous meeting, which was largely made up of the proceedings relatUe to the posi tion of First Vice President Colonua, and when reference was made to the action of that meeting, at which an effort was made to detxise the first ice president. On the conclusion of this portion ot the lusine&s ot the meeting, a bomb was thrown in the form of a formal tender of resignation by Dr. Colonua. This raised the house, nud to the right and left there was heavy skirmishing. Mr. Monroe, who figured conspicuously in tbe efforts made at the previous meet ing to cause the first icc president to re sign, and made the original motion to that effect, was appointed a committee of one to wait upon Dr.Colonn.iaud ask that jren tleman to withdraw Ids resignation. A rooluUoii, it is aiu?vns ottered to dismiss all delinquents, which was strongly opposed by MaJ. Hunter and Dr. W. P. Young, and after a warm debate tbe mo tion was defeated. Gen L. L. Lomax und Bugh Waddell are said to have tendered their resignations as members of the Hancock statue committee. Mr. John Callahan also asked to lie exr cueed from further'service as chairman of the recent cxcurclon committee. An effort was made to obtain further iwrtitulars of til'" mceticg from the secre tary and niainliera ot the association, but in every case the answer was given that nothing worth mentioning transpired.

Comptroller of tbe Treasury Bowler, yesterday afternoon" rendered a decision In the sugar bounty care, to the e'tfect that be has Jurisdiction, by reason or his offi cial position, to pars upon tbe Constitu tionality of an act of Congress, and that tbo act of March 2, 1695, appropriating $5,238,289 for tbo payment o'f bounties is unconstitutional. Mr. Bowler has given instructions tit ,tbc papers In thocare be sent to the Court of Claims for the rendition of a judgment In order that there may be furniched "a precedent for the future action of the Executive Department in the adjustment of the class of cases involved in these sugar bounties." In passing upon the Constitutionality of Ihe act the Comptroller tays that taxa tion must be for a public purpofe; that an attempt to take morey from tbe pcoria by the forms of taxation for a purpose other than a public one Is not an cxercicc of legislative power, and. therefore, that on attempt to do to is a mere nulllty as an effort by the legirlature to excrcls power not granted by the Constitution. Manufacturing establishments have been uniformly treated as private rather than public enterprises. Numerous decisions show that factories of all kinds, saw mills, rolling mills, Ac, are all private, and In no sense public enterprises The only cases cited as apparently Justi fying bounties of a character similar to the sugar bounties were the Michigan salt cases, but the constitutionality of the Mich igan statute was never passed upon-by the Supreme Court ot Michigan or of the United States. After reviewing the power ot Coigrcss so far as Justice and equity are concerned and declaring it impossible in legislation to Ignoro law, Mr. llowlersays the lmunty provided by the act of March 2 is not lim ited to those who have suffered Injury by failure to receive the bounty ot the Mc Kinley act, but Is given to all alike, wheth er they suffered loss or not. There is noth ing which Indicates that it was intended to make compensation for such injury, and that cannot be implied. The provision now under consideration Is simply the con tinuation in full ot tho bounty provision ot the McKinley act for the benefit or those who had failed to receive that which they had already earned under the McKinley act np to August as, the date of its repeal. It the comptroller should pas 'he claim, he sa j s, the money of the people willbo tak en from the Treasury In payment ot de mands not authorized by law, if the ap propriation is In fact unconstitutional. By a refusal to pass the claims the ultimate rights of the claimants are in no way affected, for they have n perfect remedy in court to test the validity of their claims and obtain payment thereof alter a rinal determination or 'the- constitutionality of the la w,jr it lie held constitutional. m m m Kentucky Town Wiped Ont.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6. Gen. James S. Clarkson, of Iowa, who Is to be president of a new coriioration that has secured con trol ot the Mutual Automatic Telephone Company of Philadelphia, was here last night. He was necoraiianied by Gen. Mc- Naught, counsel for, and A. T. Nye, general manager ot the National Standard Com pany. Gen. Clarkson is taking a great interest in the race of the Republican Presidential candidates. While he thinks ex Speaker Reed has developed considerable strength leately, he stated, that he Is of the opinion that the Republican party will hav e to go to the Mississippi Valley for a standard bearer to lead the hosts to victory next year. He also thinks that the State of Iowa is the particular place, and Senator-William B. Allison the particular man whom, the Republicans will have to select- Allison, be thinks, is the logical candidate. He Is neither of the far West nor the East, but from the conservative center of the coun try, which bas neither the prejudices nor isms ot cither section.

Contrary to gen eral expectation, the stock market opened firm, London for the first time in a week having sent over buying orders.
