Tried and HOnorabiy Acquitted.

Recently Mr.. James Sweeney prefer
red charges against Police-Captain j.
II. Parater of carrying on the business
of livery stable keeper; the city or
dinances prohibiting any member of the
police from engaging in private business.
The Board Of Police Commissioners
spent nearly two days in the investiga-
ton Of the charges, and concluded their
labors last night with a verdict of hon
orable acquittal of accused.
1t appeared in evidence that the live
ry-stable in question, at 90S and go
east Cary street, is kept by f. A. Wal
ton, Captain Parater's sOn-in.law,
whom the Captain had established in
business.
The bank account was kept in the
name Of Captain Parater for the reason
that Mr.. Walton lacks some months OF
being twenty-one years of age.
The Chief Of Police, the Common
wealth's Attorney, and numerous MEM
bers of the police force bore testimony
to Captain Parater's zeal, energy, and
capacity as an officer.
All they said about him is true. He
is a hard worker and good worker, and

THE COUP0N LITIGATION.
Bls rsa,eh Of suio in the iIu.,,ns. Court
Appeal Case.


There are one hundred and ninety
coupon cases set down for trial in the
Hastings Court at the March term. In
each one the taxpayer, by attorneys. has
complied with the demands Of the cou-
pon-killer, and now asks that his cou-
pons may be passed upon, and if pro-
nounced genuine by a jury that the
money he has paid in be restored to him
and the coupons be received for taxes.
1t g understood that these 100 cases
will not be tried until the Court Of APP
peals has decided whether coupons are
receivable for school-taxes. The Court
Of Appeals meets on Thursday next in
its spYing term, and its opinion in this
matter will be one Of the most important
it hss ever rendered. The old Court
decided that coupons were receivable
for sehool-taxes; the present Court has
never passed upon the question at all.
There have been some hung iuries in
the Hastings Court in coupon cases re-
Gently. In one, that Of W. III. F. Lee,
the coupons offered for verification by
the jury were not properly traced back
as the identical coupons paid in for the
Generals taxes.
Ii was mere omission in the evil
dencc that can be remedied easily in the
next trial.
Second-Auditor Frank G.. Ruffin de-
sires to be summoned in future coupon
cases, as he believes that he can demon
strate by facts actually within his know
ledge that no detached coupons can be
absolutely relied on as genuine.

The funeral Of Mrs. AIlayillc Allen,
the widow Of the late William G. Allen,
wss announced in this paper Of yestcr-
day to take place from her late residence
this morning at 81 o'clock.
The death Of so good woman as
Mrs. Allen deserves more than mere
funeral notice.
In carly life she married Mr.. Allen,
aprosperous businessman Of Richmond,
who was honorcd by all who knew him
for his answering integrity and un-
bounded hospitality.
Though Mrs. Allen, during her whole
life, was surrounded by every comfort
that wealth could supply, she never
forgot that there we're others not so
blessed. Her hand was ever ready in
response to her generous heart to extend
aid to the poor and needy. Modest
and retiring in her disposition, she was
greatly ayerse to show and display.
Sensible, cultivated, and refined, she
was favorite in the social circle Of her
friends. As wife. true and faithful ;
as a mother, devoted and affectionate ;
as a friend and neighbor. kind and
frank; as Christian, humble, but
trustful and hopeful.
For many years she was great suf-
ferer, but she bore her pains and sick
ness with unsomplaining patience and
Christian resignation.
On earth she bore the cross in
Heaven she wears the crown.
