Prisoner Discharged.

Ia the L. S. Court at Alexandria
the case Of Howard L. Owens, Of
Warrenton, was called. Ovens was
charged with impersonsting United
States army officer in Richmond last
summer, and with frsudulently OBJ
tanning money from Col. Hart, then
stationed at that city. The defend
ant represented himself as Capt. f.
C.. Ward, of the volunteer army. He
was given a hearing before Judge
Waddill some time since in Rich
mond, and the case was postponed,
Owens being placed under bond of
$l5, 900, which was furnished by his
father, who lives near Wsrrenton.
District Attorney Allan represent
ed the government, while the prisoner
was defended by Messrs. Geo. d
Wise, r r. Campbell aud Jas. JEFF
fries. Col. Hart, from whom Owens
secured the money, testified that he
did not lend the prisoner money be-
cause be was an fficer, but because
he represented himself as the son OF
friend. The point was then made
by Ovens counsel that there was no
U. S. statute covering such ca'es,
whereupon the court instructed the
jury to return verdict of not guilty,
which was done.

New Date Not Expensive.

1t is not true, according to the rep
resentative of a leading bsnk-note
company, that the cost incurred by
large corporations, in changing their
printed matter so as to be in keeping
with the year 1900, is very large. 1t
had been alleged that the railroads
would spend many millions in getting
out new forms Of tickets, and that
tons of old tickets would be useless,
and would be destroyed.
This statement is believed to have
arisen from the action taken by the
general passenger agents a year ago
last October. in agreeing that begin.
ming January l, 1900. all "interline"
tickets should be printed on psrtic-
ulsr kind ofsafety paper In October
last the general passenger agents
postponed such change to 1901
Some of the railroads have already
printed interline tickets on such pa
per.
Most of the railroad tickets are not
dated, and hence the outstanding is
sues can be used until they are gone.
The rule is to mark tickets with a
changesble dating stamp at the time
the ticket is sold.
10 case of checks the banks have
been just as careful as the corpora
tions, and few of the banks will have
many "189-" blanks left over. The
bsnk-note companies will be instruct
ed to make slight changes in the
plates by inserting one or two new
figures N. Y. Herald.
