Col. and Mrs. Carr Gone to Kansas
City 10 Visit Their Daughter.
Durham, N. c., Jan. Especial. y
An amusing incident transpircd in the
| court room this morning. Old man
| Dick Allen and his daughter. Francis
| Allen, had been tried Tuesday evening
and convicted of keeping a disordery
| house and upon the suggestion OF the
| Jua2e the matter went over till this
| morning After hearing evidence for
and against them as TO their characters.
| Dick was sent to the work house three
| months and Francis four The sentence
| seemed so move the very depths Of old
| Dicks soul and with anguish depicted
| upon bis face Che acts weiD he implored
| Judge Allen to hear him for his cause.
| Without waiting for the melodious tones
| Of his voice to die away or to give the
| judge an opportunity to award him the
privilege Of speaking for himself, with a
zeal that would have done honor to a
better cause, the old man was using his
0ratorical powers. Among many other
things he said: May it please your Honor,
since | come out of the war, I have raised
AtAiAt AIilNlNus 1 WAS III the war ana
waited on your father all through that
struggle, and / do think, Judge, you
ought to let me off on payment OF the
cost" The judge, very pleasantly, but
firmly told Dick the matter was settled.
He did right, too, for old Dick and Fran
els and others of his numerous progeny
have been a great nuisance in this COM
munity. They made trouble when they
lived in Granville county, and have made
trouble wherever they have lived.

yided that went down a little after 8
and returned al / o'clock this morning

he lid not sign the order and had never
! seen it until presented to him for pay
ment. Walker was bound over to court
and in default OF bail was committed to
Jail AS court is now in session he win
probably he tried during this term. And
this is the man who disgraced the reve-
nue. service and put to blush many good
Democrats.
