OBITUARY.
Iuml Ralmill Aranan.

NJ my fr.en 10 and m my acquaintances Will ae-
cord more III tram lent regrets to the announce
m mt of the death OF Emma Helmick Allemsr.
-Four years ago, one OF washington's most beau
tiful and cherished daughters, she stood at the
altar the bride OF Col. H. O. Allemsn and the re-
cipient OF innumerable good wishes. A splendid
physique, an active and Intelligent mind, an
equabie, generous temperament formed Mrs.
Alleman for the realization and diffusion Of
great happiness, which death, never so sadly
mysterious as when breaking the links Of a life
so young and full OF fair hopes, has Interrupted.
Out Of mortal sutferiRgs, doubts and fears, with
her "rst born's breath" free from the last fear
full struggle Of mortality with the destroyer, she
lay at last at the bright threshold Of the "Better
Land, her radiant eyes beholding its glories, her
spiritual senses susceptible to all It's welcoming
joys, and her tongue yet enabled to mingle with
her farevells, descriptions Of peace and bliss
offered her by forms unseen by all but her.
"FloweTs! i see flowers here and there and
everywhere" and "see you not the angels who
bring them to me?' were among her dying words.
Sunday evening, from the Rev. DR.. Elliott, of
the Church Of the Ascension, she received holy
communion, and from that time till she died, In
the golden, molten twilight OF Monday, her mind
was at rest, and she welcomed with . sweet
smile the hand that beckoned her homo to the
bosom Of God. To such is death the gate Of
lIfe," and, for those who miss and mourn such
dead, hope has all its best and surest promises.
In the rich silks and laces-the white roDes
which, as q happy bride, she once wore-she'll
lie tomorrow, encofined for the tomb, while the
flowers, more beautiful than orange blossoms,
which the angels brought, may make q crown for
her unseen by mortals, and the peaceful smile
and quiet beauty of her last repose seem but the
reflex OF the light and knowledge into which her
Spirit enters beatified

REAL ESTATE SUIT,
Action to Invalidats Sales Of Certain L

Action to 1nv31date sales OF Certaln LoIs'
Yesterday, in the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict, sitting in general term, the case Of John
Bitz and others against the National Lilo In
surance Company of the United States was taken
up Mr. Edwards for the plaintiffs, and Mr..
Hack EFT for the defendants. This is an action to
set aside sales made in December last by the
trustees T.. A. Rollins and W. Z. Chandler, OF
four lots fronting on X street, between Ninth
and Tenth streets. The plaintiffs represent that
there was no competition on the part Of the bona
fde bidders. The property was sold ct great
sacrifice. The sales were not conducted In con-
formIty with the requirements OF the trust deeds.
The company purchased the property. Rollins
was an officer Of and . stockholder in the COM
pany at the time of the sale; Chandler was also
a stockholder. A sale to the company was sale
to the trustees themselves and the trustees acted
wholly In the interest Of the company, and dlsre.
garded the plaintiffs rights.
In the Equity Court, when the case was heard,
decree was made vaeating the sales, from which
decree the defendants appealed. They contend
that the attendance and competition at this was
was not sold at o sacrifice; that the sales were
cnndustaa In s.t.y i.h Oh. Of she
been for nine months previous to the sale, stock
holder IN the company; nor was Chandler. 1t was
admitted that the former hal been president, and
he mad no pecunisry interest whatever in the
company, nor voice in the details OF Its manage
ment. Ten shares Of stock, OF the value OF 500
esch-not belonging TO him-stood in his name, to
qualify him as such nominal director, for lim-
ited period, and this nominal dictatorship soon
ceased, and does not now exist And that when
the trust deeds passed between the original par
ties It was q well.known fact that insurance COM
panies making loans were very frequently obliged
their rights. With full knowledge of this fact
PLAINTIFF assignor, Gilbert, consented that
Messrs. Rollins and Chandler should act as trus:
tees, at time when both were stockholders, and
the former the president Of the company. 1t VIII
not be assumed, without proof to that effect, that
the parties contemplated that the company, by
the selection Of these gentlemen. intended TO sac
rfice the important right OF protecting their In
terests by purchase in case 1t should become ne.
cessary.
The decree Of the court below was affirmed.

Life in thA East.

Rev. J. s. Ostrander gave another OF his Illus
trations Of Oriental life at the Congregational
church, last evening. In spite Of the unfayor-
able weather, the audience was somewhat larger
than on Monday evening, and the lecture was
eyen more interesting and Instructive. Very
complete models Of the Beautiful Gate, OF the
Jewish tabernacle and an Oriental holse were
shown and dissected, SO as to show tho interior
arrangements and explain Scrirtursl allusIons
to domestic life. Among the characters were an
Arab watercarrier, an Egyptian juggler, (who
drew forth fgs and confectionery, with passages
of Scripture for mo ttoes, from an empty bag and
threw them to the children,) an Eastern school,
whirlipg deryishes, and burial scene, with the
hired mourners tearing their hair and throwing
their hands wildly about, while the leader pre-.
ceded the bier, uttering a msurninl strain, ac-
companied in a minor key on the organ. The
lecturer gave many interesting facts relative to
the origin of the Bible.

programme Except repetition of the wedding

CONFIDENCE OPERATORS.
Five More Arrests by the Capitol Police.


1t will be remembered that several days ago
mention was made in TIE REPUBLICAN OF the
arrest of four confidence" men, or 'dead BEATS"
who belonged to the gang that hssifnfected the
Capitol since the meeting Of Congress, represent
ing themselves as constituents Of members Of
Congress, and obtaining money from them osten-
sibly for the purpose Of paying their way back
home Captain Blackford, Of the Capitol police,
having commenced in the good work Of putting
an end to their operations by arrestlng and turn
ing over to the Police Court the four referred to,
has managed to secure what he supposes to be
about the last OF the gang. Yesterday about
o'clock assisted by several OF his force, he sue
ceeded in arresting f1ve Of these swlndlers and
locking them up, turning them over later in the
evening to the Police Court. One Of them, when
approached by the police, started and ran across
the east park Of the Capitol, with four or five Of
the force after him, and tor while the race was
an even one. He was nabbed, however, when he
reached the corner Of First and North A streets.
They gave as their names, when arrested, Peter
Riley, OF Stonington, Conn: Charles Parker, of
Philadelphia: Robert Miles, of Pittsburg: Jas.
Richards, of Alleghany, Pa, ana James Morris,
of Baltimore, Nd. They each state that they
have been in the city from fivo to ten days, but
