During that time he was badly Grip
PIED by an accident. in which he had
his hip broken, and in consequence was
confined to his home for several weeks
At the close OF the administration he
was removed. and since then has never
been able 10 engage very actively at
his business. on account of his injuries
for The past few years he has not been
employed at manual labor at all. He
was So years of age ut the time of his
death, and but for the unfortunate ac-
cident mentioned he would have been
m active man. He was n member of

citizen. His character was above re-
proach and the examples of his life are
worthy Of emulation

City Attorney Harper on the Subject
OF Park View Policeman.

At the last meeting of the Police
commissioners n substitute policeman
was elected from the Fifth Ward. a
question was raised in regard to his
eligibility to the Mace and the mat
ter was referred to the City Attorney
for his opinion. Yesterday he rendered
it to Mayor Baird.
In it he said that Il man had as much
right to live in the Fifth Ward and be
policeman as he did in any other
ward. as lie was citizen of the town,
and was elected for the city generally
and not for any specific ward. And for
that reason he could be paid out of the
city's funds the same as any other
officer, but IL he were appointed for
the Fifth Ward especially, then that
ward would have to defray the bin
lie cited as an Illustration of his eligi-
bility the suppositon that n man lived
in the Fifth Ward and sought employ
ment as street hand, and was re-
fused simply because he lived in that
ward. This would be a hardship and
one that would not be imposed upon a
non resident, therefore he thought he
was eligible.
