WATEEBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY"," DECEMBER 301897. BDABD OF PUBLIC SAFETY l. TRANSACT A LARGE AMOUNT OP BUSINESS. A Patrolman and a poorman Appoint ed Also Permanent Firemen and Supernumerary Policemen Thirty- Four Annointments in All, Made at Last Night's Meeting. The board of public safety held an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon, there being: present Mayor Edward G. Kilduff, City Clerk Richard P. Grady, George M. Etran. chief of police, Com missloners William C. Moore, Edward L. Seery. Eugene J. Sullivan, George A. Drifters, J. Merrick Gallond, the latter coming In after the board had trans acted considerable business, Including the election of a patrolman. Long be fore the session came to a close. Com missioners Driggs and Gallond, seeing they were not going to have all the say as to what disposition should be made of the "pie," kicked in the traces, showing that our republican friends are not capable of taking medi cine In such, large quantities aa they are wont to pass it out to their neigh bors, when they happen to be in a po sition to' run things according to their own notlorretlred inahuff becausethey saw the will of the majority was cer tain to rule and the long delayed ap pointments to the police and fire de partments about to be made. Com missioner Drigga Is one of the most agreeable members of the city govern ment when things are coming hi3 way, but on this particular occasion the boot was oa the other foot, and unlike his democratic friends on the board of al dermen Who stood their ground the past two years, though Ignored at every step, and their helplessness made the hut of ridicule time and again, the strain was too much for him and rather than take part In the deliberations of a meeting where he could not be in the ascendency, he picked up his duds and decamped. It is the easiest thing in the world for a public official to pre- serve his equilibrium when he is lec- ' turlng to minorities on a board, but it takes a man of more than ordinary will power to remain at his poet and znaln- tain bis accustomed good nature, when he starts out to conquer major! Use and sees certain' defeat staring him in: the face. Mr Gallond hesitated before taking leave of his colleagues and acted as though he wanted to remain, but feared that in doing so his conduct would be considered unconventional by the Incoming administration. ' Didn't Mayor-elect Barlow get mad and dis appear (pm the meeting of the board of public works the other day for a similar offense on the part of the ma jority , members of that board, Mr Driggs had now left the board Of public ' safety and what was there for him to do but follow suit,' ana he did it, and so it oame to pass- that the three demo crats were left alone 1n their glory and they seemed 'to feel quite at ease In their solitude and performed ' a vast amount of work in a short time -without any assistance or counsel from their colleagues, , (H .. ..,,1t ... The alleged . deal to elect P. W. Hal pin turned, put, to be, a fake, the man's name not being mentioned at the meet- . ing or thought of in connection with an appointment. to a position In the fire department. When Mayor Kilduff called the meet ing to order, Clerk Grady called atten tion to the action taken by the board of finance on the salaries recommended for assistant engineer of the fire de partment, call men, call captains and permanent captains, stating that the amounts fixed by the board of public safety, namely, call men, $100 per an num! call captains. $150: permanent captains, $850; assistant engineer, $350. The report was accepted .and ordered on record. An application was re ceived from the Waterbury Athletic club, requesting permission to conduct a sparring match. Commissioner Driggs moved that it be tabled and Commissioner Moore remarking that he thought permission should be granted, made a motion to that effect, but as neither motion was seconded the matter was soon lost sight of and the beard proceeded to ballot for a regular patrolman, Mr Seery acting as teller. Four ballots were taken when Thomas Cronan was declared elected, he having receiver three of the four votes cast. The other candidates were William Bowe and William P. Keegan. The board then proceeded to fill va cancies on the supernumerary force. At this Juncture Mr Gallond arrived and took a seat with the boys. ii wiiuwiuj were ueciareo. eiectea, all having received a majority of the votes cast: John Dowling, Wharton M. Grubb, John Strachan, John O'Rourke, John Lynehan. Mr' Sullivan moved to proceed to ballot' for a doorman at the station house. This brought out a little spicy discussion, Mr Driggs throwing in the glove by remarking tjiat he considered it a rank injustice to Mr Hickey, who had resigned a position to accept the appointment of doorman at the police station. "Besides that," said Mr Driggs, "I think it 13 dead wrong to take that appointment away from the chief. The doorman is right there with him all the time and he should be al lowed his own choice about the man who will be there. In addition to this I might say that I think it would be foolish to appoint a new doorman for I feel certain the appointment - would soon be revoked, and if Mr O'Rourke has a job he had better hold on to It, either that or fix things so that he can get it again when he wants it." Mayor Kilduff: "I don't wish to be understood as passing an opinion on this particular case, but I noticed there were not many expressions of sympathy heard for Mr Begnal when he was dis charged from that position some time ago." Mr Driggs: "Mr Begnal couldn't hold the position any longer. He had reached the age limit as prescribed by the charter." Mayor Kilduff: "Very true', but a majority of the citizens of Waterbury believe such a law never should have been passed. It doesn't look right to deprive a man from holding such po sitions after he has reached forty. I don't think it good policy to push a man aside at that age, for I believe a well preserved citizen makes a better offi cer between the years of forty and fifty than at any other time in his life. Mr Begnal thought he wasn't usad right and very few who heard the reason why he rot hroueh considered the law that retired him a just enactment. He left a job to take that position, and al though he has a living to make for himself and his family no expressions ot sympathy were heard when he got out.' iur ounivan: "mats dropping a man in his prime. I don't think that fair, rt all." Mr Driggs and the mayor talked on this subject for a few minutes, the for mer defending the law as it now stands and the latter referring to the injustice of it, and contending that a man is just in his prime at 40, after which a ballot for doorman was ordered and the votes being counted It was shown that John O'Rourke had received 3; Patrick Hickey, 1; Timothy Hickey, 1. Mr O'Rourke was declared elected. This settled up the affairs of the police de partment and turning towards Chief Egan,' Mayor Kilduff said: "Did you have anything to bring before the board, chief?" Chief Egan: (snappishly) "No sir, I did not." Commissioner Seery then presented the following resolution which was passed: "Voted, .that this board deems It necessary for the efficiency of the fire department to appoint the following employes to do duty and perform fire service dn and for said cliy of Water bury, to -wit: One permanent captain and eix callmen to do duty at engine house No 1, corner of Leavenworth street and Harrison avenue; one per manent captain and' seven callmen to do duty at engine house No 2, Scovill street; seven call men to do duty at Hook and Ladder company, No 1; one permanent captain and six call men to do duty at the Burton-, street engine house; said employes to receive stich salaries as has been -fixed by this board and board of finance of this city." Mr Driggs thought the appropria tion for 198 would not warrant such an expense as the salaries of all these appdintanents would entail, but the rest of the board thought differently, it being shown that considerable money had been put out this year in strengthening the efficiency of the de partment, including the purchase of 2.000 feet of hose, and that at present the department needed nothing but men and that it was time the different positions were filled. After a long chat on this matter a ballot for a per manent captain was ordered whioh re sulted as follows: Matthew J. Doyle 3, William Dodds 2. Mr Doyle was de clared elected a permanent employe of the "fire department. After this vote Mr Driggs wantf,d to proceed to fill the vacancies at the Burton street engine house, but the rest of the members held that the proper course .was to complete the list of permanent cap tains and then take up the call men, but this order did not suit Mr Driggs, and he begged to be excused and left the room followed by 'Mr Gallond. When they got their heels out of the chamber they 'stood a few minutes in the lobby and looked longingly back at theiir vacant seats, paused, rallied, staggered, fled, leaving the democrats In undisputed possession of the "pie." The1' next vote was for another per manent captain, William Dodds re ceiving three" votes, causing Mayor Kilduff to remark: "There doesn't seem to be much politics in that. A good republican receiving' a permanent berth from three democrats. Mr (Moore: "Yes, sir, three good democrats, too, I move that the elec tion of Mr Dodds be made formal and unanimous." The motion was put and carried. A vote for another permanent cap tain was ordered and on this occasion John Moore received the full vote and was declared elected. Other elections were as follows: For permanent 'fireman to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of Timothy Brennan from the Burton street fire house, Joseph Begley; to succeed 'Wil liam Dodds. promoted, John Begley; call men, William Thlbodeau, Edward Dowling. Stephen Tangley, Peter Con roy, Fred J. Hayes, John Loughman, James Downey, . Edward Donahue, Thomas Cavanaugh Richard McCar thy, Michael McKenna, Jonn Griffin, Jeremiah Bresnahan, George Reid, John Cronan, Joseph Traoey, Samuel Stearns, John J. De voy, Philip Bolieau, Fred N. Schwartz, John Schwartz, Patrick Hauton. The permanent captains . were as signed as follows: Matthew J. Doyle, to Engine company No 1; John Moore to Burton street engine house; Wil liam Dodds to Scovill street engine house. In the opinion of the board, it was deemed best to leave the assignment of the other employes to the chief en gineer. Votes were passed Instructing the clerk to notify the new men of their appointments and directing the chief to place them where he thought they would be of the most service to the department. Thomas Cronan, the newly appoint ed patrolman, was born in Ireland January 6, 1862. which will make him almost thirty-six years' of age. His application was accepted by the board of public safety January 31, 1896, and he was appointed a supernumerary February 4, 1896. His application was endorsed by A. H. Llmont, F. L. Adams, John Clohesswy. P. F. Bannon and Terrence C. O'Brien. At the titme of his application he was nearly six teen years in this country. He is a widower, with four children, lives at 70 John street, and is employed a.s a fireman at Holmes, Booth & HayJens' factory. When the business of the meeting was finished Mayor Kildnff said: "Before adjourning I desire to thank the members of the board for the faith ful and efficient manner In which thev performed the duties of their offices as, members of this board for the past two years, and for the uniform courtesy ex tended to me on all occasions. The meetings of the board of public safety have been characterized by general good feeling, there being little or no friction between the members at any time, so that it can truthfully bp said that the board conducted its meetings in an orderly and very creditable man ner. A great deal has been done with in the past couple of years towards adding to the efficiency of the police department in the appointment cf ad ditional patrolmen, the election of su pernumeraries and the filling of the different offices created by the new charter. Much has been accomplished, too, for the good of the fire department. both In the appointment of men and the erection of two houses which will compare favorably with any bulldingsof the kind in the state. The Burton and Leavenworth street engine houses are a credit to the city and will always be something which the members of the present board can point to with pride as som,e of the valuable additions made to the fire department during their term of office. I regret that our two worthy colleagues with whom we got along nicely and whose services were duly appreciated on this board, did not de cide to remain to complete the year's work, for It would bo a great pleasure to me to see all who labored for the suc cess of the police and fire departments present when we adjourn. But, gen tlemen, it is growing late and I will not detain you longer. I wish to thank all those who are present and those who are absent as well. I wish to say In conclusion, that I think the meeting should not come to a close without ex tending a vote of thanks to the clerk for the satisfactory manner in which he has done his part of the work of this board." . , A motion to this effect was put and carried and then Mr Seery calling for a rising vote of thanks for Mayor Kil duff in recognition of his able and im partial rulings as chairman of the re tiring board of public safety, It was given, the members rising in their seats. At the suggestion of Mayor Kilduff a vote of thanks was extended to the representatives of the press for accu- ate reports of the doings' of the meet ings. The board then adjourned sine die.

Attendants at the Auditorium Think Differently, However Eyes In the Back of His Head When New Haven Was Making Fouls No Just Cause For Putting Knowlton Out of the Game If He Was Right There is No Explanation or Apology Re quired. If the managers of the Waterbury polo club want good, clean polo to be played and respectable audiences to at tend the games, they should get a hustle on. It is no pleasure, for la dles, especially, to sit for an hour or two listening to a crowd of enthusiasts blowing horns, ringing bells and howl ing like demons. A good spontaneous outburst of hand clapping and cheers Is all right,! but when one has to go the whole evening without being able to hear a word the referee says, or even hear the whistle, It Is time something was done. Let us have less noise and we will all enjoy the game. The managers should also have insisted on keeping Knowlton in the game last night. The whack Oavltt got was an accident, pure and simple. Knowlton had his hockey raised over his head in both hands, when Gavitt came along like a whirl wind, and in bringing down the hockey the straight end of It caught Gavitt in the face. Referee Leahey had to do something and here was his chance. He couldn't take away the goals Wa terbury made, so he did the next best thing, put Knowlton out of the game, and the game the popular half back was putting up last night was of the win ning kind. The home team avenged its defeat at the hands of the Elm City boys on Tuesday night and last night walloped the New Haven boys in good shape. It was a fierce game throughout and worked the most conservative watcher up to some degree of excitement. The auditorium was packed with rooters, all anxious to see the home team snow the visitors under and the score shows how well they were satisfied. The home boys played the 'game like de mons and ' won peal after peal of ap plause. There was not so much of the ear-bursting tin horn applauding, but the real genuine yells of approval. "Deacon" Farrell, our nobby goal ten der, played the star game of the even ing. He is without doubt the best goal tender in the league. His stops were wonderful. Conley had his driving arm with him last night and when he let fly, Mallory usually ducked. He made two goals and kept the ball in the vicinity of new Haven's cage con tinually. Monroe played an excellent game, caging three of the seven goals made. He is improving every game he plays. Knowlton played only part of two sessions, being put off the floor by Referee Leahey in the second inning for accidentally hitting E. Gavitt on t;ho forehead with hla hockey, and lay ing him out. Sullivan played first class and did some clever passing and blocking. He is a comer. The boys have styled him "alderman." Dear old "Grif" did not play in the first third although the boys in Carson City demanded his whereabouts. When he appeared in the second session he was cheered to the ech6. He played his usually brilliant game. Mallory and Spencer did good work for New Haven, but it was up hill work. Flood, that gentlemanly center, also did well. The Gavitt boys have played better than they did last night. Monroe got the first rush and after a long and exciting contest Conley drove the red sphere away in deep, where it stayed. Time 7:26. Spencer got the second rush. Con ley then began his terrific driving. The way he banged the ball was a caution Knowlton then took the ball in tow, but the goal tender seemed impassible. Spencer got an opening at last and caged the ball. Time 3:01. Monroe took the third rush. Thomp son got the ball, but Monroe stole It from him and drove it in. Time 2:42. " Monroe got the fourth rush also, but the gong rung before more goals were made. Score 2 to 1 in our favor. Waterbury made two more goals In the second session and three more in the third session, while New Haven could only score once more, In the third session. At the conclusion of the game Waterbury had seven points to New Havens two,, and the crowd wont tirrzy satisfied. Referee Leahey was hissed through out the entire game. After the game he made a statement to a "Democrat" reporter, which Is given below. Only one foul was called, that being on Knowlton, for holding. The attend ance was about 1,500. The teams lined up as follows: Waterbury ' New Haven Monroe first rush Spencer Conley & Griffin second rush E. Gavitt Sullivan half back Flood Knowlton center F. Gavitt Farrell goal Mallory Referee, Leahey; timer, Hart. Stops, Mallory 35; Farrell 80. Referee Leahey says Grlflln Is the cleanest player in the league. That' true, too. "Dan" Mahaney occupied a press seat last night. "I'm a reporter from Troy," he said. At Meriden last night the Walling fords were defeated 11 to 2. Poor old hoodooed Walllngford; go bury a dog. The Walllngfords will be here to morrow night. They will be easy for us after we defeat Meriden to-night in Meriden. The Meridens . were used rather roughly' at Waterbury on Monday night and at Hartford last night. Water bury will be here to-morrow night and Hartford Saturday afternoon. Meriden Journal. Do you see the point, you Meriden enthusiasts if not put. on your goggles. The amateur shop league game last night was between the Steele & John- sou and Clock Co teams. The latter team proved to much for the Steele & Johnsons, and defeated them 12 to 2. Dwyer had 17 stops and Walsh 15. Beneditti and Miller played a fine game for the Clock Co, Beneditti making nine goals out of the twelve. Woods and Bird worked well for Steele & Johnson. The teams are made up as follows: Clock Co Beneditti, Regen, Miller, Piatt. Walsh. Steele & John- son R. Spears, Wooda,, Bird, W. Spears, Dwyer. ,. , J "Tommy" Leahey felt pretty badly at th reception given him last night by the polo rooters. "The crowd has al ways -been very friendly towards me,", he said, "and I have always liked to come here. The feeling displayed at the same was all caused by the unjust publication In one of your dailies, of statements asserting that I was unfair toward the Waterbury players In the New Haven game. I did not Intention ally favor either team and itiwsould not be policy for any rereree to0o so fool ish a thing. I am sorry the people feel as they do, but I think when they hear my side they will be disposed to treat me fairly. As for' Mallory throwing the ball into the 'audience, I did not see him do It, therefore was powerless, l never try to favor any side over ano ther and never will, but there are some things which a referee cannot always see, and what you don't see you .are unable to make right. The crowd seem to think I am sour on KnowTton. That is not so. I think a whole lot of Knowlton, he Is a good fellow and I think the best half back In the league to-day. If he would only keep his head he would be a dandy. He is rather unlucky in being caught in fouls, not being as sly as some other players in that line. I will come back again all right and think the people will treat me as well as formerly, l will always give each team all that Is due them, as far as I am able." .The ""Democrat" thinks the above gentlemanly and square statement warrants the polo ad mirers giving Mr Leahey a suitable re ception when he next appears nere. CaDtain Griffin declares "Tommy's" refereeing was all right in the game re ferred to above. ' . i .. Polo League Standing. P. W. L.
