COUPON CASES IN ALEXANDRIA COUNTY.
-1h8 Bondholders Win.-In the Circuit
Court for the county Judge Keith held
THIS morning that the act Of March, 1887.
not allowing subsequent tender OF any
Othe, coupons than the identical cnes"

does not apply to tenders made prior to the
passage OF the act. The result OF the ruling
was that those who had made tenders for
1856 taxes came into court and rendered
coupons attached to bonds and recovered

could not enter judgment tor costs against
the terderers. An example: "a" rendered
coupons, detached from the bond, for 1886
taxes be was sued, as the State law re-
quires be comes iDto court and pleads that
he ia ready to tender coupons attached to
bonds, and proves the genuineness of the
bonds; the Court holds the tender good
and gives Judgment for the tenderer,
without requiring him to prove that
the coupons originally rendered were
genuine though the copI ons, originally ten.

ten.forties. aud the bonds subs quently rendered
were attached to aGother class OF bonds, say con-
soils. In short the Judge ruled that as general
proposition the tenderer need not be always after
wards ready to touder the id sntical thing, but may
make tender OF its equivalent This ruling does
not apply to tenders for 1887 taxes. In such
cases the tax payer must teuder the identical
coupons originally rendered. In these cases
judgments were catered for the Commonwealth.

 MT J. K. Emmet will make his first appearance in this city in eight years at Jacques opera house Saturday evening next, presenting his own comedy creation of ''our Fritz"
 .'Yeomen of the Guard"
 The largest and most critical audience of the season witnessed Gilbert & Sullivan s latest operatic success, the ''YeOmen of the Guard" which was presented for the first time in this city at the Jacques opera house last evening by the Stetson com pany. The opera has many excellent feat ures, but can hardly be said to have the wearing qualities of some of Gilbert & Sullivan's other productions. The music is bright and of high order but the airs a rule are not ''catchy." The costumes are handsome and quaint. The Stetson company numbers thirty evenly balanced voices and the choruses were excellent Miss Lamont as Elsie Maynard was great favorite with the audience. She has a pure soprano voice of good range. Of the others Miss Alice Carle as Phoebe Meryll, Miss Mabella Baker as Dame Carruthers, Miss Willard as Kate, Sig Brocolini as Sergeant Meryl1, N s. Burnham as Wilfred Shadbolt, James Gilbert as Jack Point, George Traverner as Colonel Fair fax, Joseph c. Fay as Sir Richard Chol- mondelay and Edward Gervaise as Leonard Meryn were excellent in their respective parts.
