Lane opposed the marriage, but reluc- tantly gave his consent to it. Soon after Mrs Gessenger married and left the house MT. Lane discovered the loss of large sum of money, in amount variously estimated at be- tween $500 and $1, 900 from trunk where it had been kept.

Board of Police Commissioners.

Trial of Omeer sweet-He Is Honorably
 Acquitted of all Charges.
 The Police Commissioners held meeting last evening to consider the charges against Patrolman Fred. Sweet for sleeping on his beat gross neglect of duty and disobedie0cs of orders.
 Roundsman Selleck testified that he found the officer asleep on his beat, and when he ordered him to report to the office he de- clined to do so. He also testified that in his opinion the officer had been drinking. He also stated that he searched for the officer on his beat, but could not find him where he should have been when he was engaged in the search.
 Patrolman Sweet, in his own behalf, de- nied all the charges brought against him, ex- cept the one charging him with disobedience of orders in refusing to report to the office when ordered to do so by the roundsman. He said he was conscious of innocence and doubt ed the authority of the roundsman to order him to report to the office, hence he did not obey the order.
 After hearing the evidence the Board went into executive session, and during the time they were in secret .conclave voted to acquit Patrolman Sweet from all the charges brought against him. MT. Sweet was ordered by the chief to report for duty, and the commissioners await the presentation of the next victim or person complained of.
