The committee on police, jail and lire department met at the Council Chamber last night to hear the evidence in the case ol Police Offlocis Sargent and Mc Carthy, who were suspended by the Mayor on Thursday last on a charge ot " direlectiou ol duty," The attendance of citizens to witness the ttiut was Urge, and a number of the members of the Council were present. The evidence against the otllc-rs wa, not what might have been expected under the cir cumstances : and although the com mittee adjourned without taking a vote on the guilt or innocence of the otlkers, It was the opinion ot nearly all present that the charges were not sustained, and there is but little doubt that the committee will so report. Several witnesses testified that (be ularm was given promptly, and that the olScers were the only persons on the ground whea they arrived there. Officer Mc Carthy In bis statement said that in keep ing with their usual cus'.om himself and Otticer Sargeut had gone to police head quarters ul about half past tliree o'clock to Iook on the "call book" and to warm, preparatory to going to the Illinois Cen tral depot w'jcii the tour o'clock train came in, and that it was wnue mvy were in the house that the tire was dis covered. Otticer Sargent went to give the tire alarm, but alter giving the bell a few taps the rope broke, OtUcvr Mc Carthy then went to the Rough and Ready eng'ne house to sound the alarm but that he had not given the bell to exceed half a dozen taps when that bell rope also broke. The doors leading to the upper part ol the engine house wtre lock ed, and be could not get to the bell to con tinue the ringing. Both Ulcers denied emphatically, that they were asleep In tho engine house, and the evidence ot other witnesses seemed to bear them ou. in this statement.
