Chief Conlln returned yesterday from his
tumnior vacation. Whan ho reached Pollco
Ileadquartcts ho announced that ho was on
good terms with tho Commissioners, and thnt
be had no Intention of asking tho Hoard for his
retirement. Ho (aid when asked about tho re
port that ho would probnbly rotten!
"l do not know how It originated. When I
went away on my vacation it wns with tho
knowlodgo, consent, and good wlshos o( tho
Commissioners. I do not know that anything
has hnpnencd to change my rolatlona vrith them,
llceause ono Commissioner resigns and another
is appointed to Burcced lilm, I do not sco why
it should bu said that tho Chief is to resign. I
bare no Intention of asking to bo retired."
Whllo thoChlcf talked CornmlsslonorAndrews
sat at his desk directly over the odlco of Conlln
poring o cr a book of rules of tho department.
Andrews Is now Chairman of the Committoo on
Rules and Discipline, and his associate on that
committee Is Col. Smith, known In military
circles as a rigid disciplinarian. In the desk
of tho Commissioner lay tho old charges against
Conlln. Grant and Parker had saved tho Chief
from standing trial on thoso chargos, but now
Or&nt Is out and Parkor a holplosa minority in
the Board. When asked about the chargos.
Commissioner Andrews said:
"The charges are not dead, as some persons
seem to think, and can be brought up at any
time. I do not know what I shall do about
them, and I have not intimated to any ono that
they will bo revived or dismissed."
President Moss said that ha would not un
dertake to prodlot what action the board
would tako In referenco to tho Conlln charges.
Col. Smith, the new Commissioner, has not yet
talon up tho subject, and, until he has learned
all tho facts, ho will not talk about It, Ho
pent somo time In tho trial room with Com
missioner I'arkor1, learning the routine of that
work. Tho cases on tho dookot wero mostly
of a trivial character, but ho watched each ono
closely and occasionally smiled at some of the
excuses offered by policemen who had been
caught neglecting their duty.
While posltlvo ottlclal statements could not
be obtained, thoro!was plenty of gossip at head
quarters to tho effect that tho charges against
Conlln are to bo held in abcyanco for the pres
ent. It seems to bo tho settled conviction thero
that tho Chief Is to havo another chance. Ono
of tho Commissioners Is reported to havo said
that ho did not want to put Conlln on trial, but
be did wont him to do his duty. That prob
ably expresses tho oxact situation. If tho Chief
does his duty to tho satisfaction of tho major
ity of the board. It is not probable that tho old
charge will be pressed to trial.
One of tho reasons advanced by thoso who dis
cussed tho situation as to why the Commis
sioners aro not anxious to try Conlln at this
time is that they will bo very busy with im
portant manors during the noxt six weeks. Tho
election officers aro to be appointed, and In viow
of the Importance of tho election unusual caro Is
to be exercised In tho soloctlon of men for these
places. All applicants who have not served at
previous elections will havo to bo put through
a seml-civll service examination, and that will
tako time. The location of polling places is of
unusual interest this year because or tho reduc
tion In the number of election districts. This
work will keep tho Committee on Elections
busy for several weeks.
As soon as the civil service regulations havo
been complied with the board is going to nil all
vacancies among tho ofUcers of tho uniformed
force. Four Inspectors aro to be appointed
after candidates havo passed examinations
under tho now cltil service laws. Commis
sioner Andrews said yesterday thnt nearly
very Captain in tho department is a camlidato
for one of the places, and It Is expected that a
Urge number of them will appear for examina
tion. Under tho new civil service law appli
cants must be rated 60 per cent, for merit and
CO per cent, for fitness. Tho board Is to deter
mine tho rating for fitness, using Its own Judg
ment and information. On these ratings tho
Commissioners may clash, and tno board stand
three to one again. Then the three can mako
promotions on the recommendation of tho Chief.
When that time comos Chief Conlln will havo
to show bis hand. IIo must stand with tho
three Commissioners or enable Parker to block
I promotions.
f CbRpmsn on a Vacation.
Police Captain Chapman, commander of tho
Tenderloin precinct, went to Staten Island yes-

Policeman Arrests a Saloon rtewoer Who Had
Made Charges Against lllm,
Kmll Morasco, saloon keeper at 188 Hester
street, and John Morione ot 180 Hester street
were to havo appeared yesterday morning at
Police Headquartors to prefer charges against
Policeman McDermott of tho KHraboth street
station. Instead, thoy wero arraigned in Ccntro
Street Court on a charge of extortion, and Po
liceman MoDormott was tho complainant
against them.
On Sunday night, July 4, McDermott entered
Marasco's saloon to mako an arrest for violating
the Raines law. Morasco complained at Pollco
Headquarters the next day that MqDermott
had broken in throe doors to gain nn entrance.
Tho caso was set for a hearing beforo Commis
sioner Parker yesterday.
McDermott, when he arratgnod Morasco and
Mortone in court, declared that slnco July 0
Morlono had been trying to induco him to mcot
Morsscq and talk tbo matter over, telling him
that it might bo fixed up. McDormott declared
bo had not kept ono of tho engagements ho mado
until Wednesday night nt 11 o'clock, when he
met the two by appointment nt Canal and Kim
streets.
"I bad alroady told Policemen Fitzgerald,
Nelson, and Ballard of the matter," said Mc
Dermott, "and we marked 00 In bills. The
thrco policemen kept In sight when I met the
two men. Tbey demanded 7B nt first, but
finally took the SjOO. As soon as Morasco put
tho money In his coat pocket we arrested them
and locked them up."
Morasco and Morlono both denied this story.
They declared they had never tried to see Mc
Dermott, but had tried to avoid htm. Thoy de
clared that there had not beon any appointment,
and they had met McDermott at Canal and Blm
streets by accident.
" McDermott said to mo," said Morasco, "that
he hoped I would not anpoar at Headquarters
to-dar. as I would drive mm out of tho business.
1 told him I would certainly appear to press the
charge. Then ho said to mo, ' llavo you a cigar 1'
and when I said 'no,' he put something
In my coat pocket. Before I could put
my hand In my pockot to see what be
bad put there no arrested me. I did not
ask for any money and would not have taKcn It
under any consideration. This whole thing Is a
conspiracy to keep me from appearing nt Head-
?uartors, I was warned by friends to look out
or a job, but In spite ot my watchfulness they
managed to trick mo."
Magistrate Hedges contorrod with Lawyer
Hyaclnthe Rlngroso, who represented McDer
mott, and Lawyer Edmund K. Prloc. who repre
sented Morasco and Morione, and then an
nounced that the case was dismissed. He said
ha thought the proceedings at Headquarters
would amply cover tho caso. He added, how
ever, that he did not take much stock in Moroc
co's charge of conspiracy. McDermott's trial
was adjourned for a week by Commissioner
Parker.
WHAT" DRVNK" IS ATOONEY ISLAND
Justices Kramer and leaioB Allow Some Lati
tude to the Islander.
Mary Wanderer, tho wife of Morris Wanderer,
a hotel keeper at Coney Island, was arrested
and locked up on Wednesday night for fighting.
About an hour afterward her husband called at
tho police station to oak on what charge his
wife had been arrested, and he was locked up on
a charge ot intoxication. Justice Kramer, in
the Coney Island Police Court, discharged both
Mr. and Mrs. Wanderer yesterday, and lectured
Policeman Bahrman for arresting the man.
In discharging Wanderer Justice Kramer de
fined Intoxication.
" Bahrman," said Justlco Kramor, " I want to
say this to you, and perhaps It will bo of use to
other officers. Because a roan has been drinking
he is not always intoxicated. No matter how
many drinks a man has had. as long as a man
can control the drink, ho is not intoxicated.
On the other hand, no matter how few drinks
n man has had. If the drink Is In control
of the man, ho Is Intoxicated. I don't think
that tho drink that tho defendant had on
that night or day controlled him. I think be
was excltod by reason of his wife's arrest, and I
think It It hadn't been for his wife's arrest and
his going to the station house you never would
have arrested him. I think be was able to con
trol himself and his affairs, and that Is the rea
son why I dismiss the case against him."
Justice Lemon in tho same court on Tuesday
nlso defined intoxication. IIo said that a man
was not intoxicated so long as he was able to
walk and give his name and address.

Newark, to years ego, to Induco his wifo,
Susanah Lcary, to refrain from beginning suit
for divorce booauss ha had lll-trcatod, abused,
and neglootcd her. Mrs. Loary, through hor
counsel, ox-Senator Barrott, began suit to day,
and Lawyer Leary's agreement Is sot forth In
tba bill tiled In chancery as follows:
" I, Elwood S, Leary, In consideration of tho
abandonment by my wifo, Annlo Loary, of her
prusont intontion to llvo sopnrato and apart
from mo becauso of tho many times I havo
acted in a disgraceful, undignified, nnd ungen
tlcmanly manner toward hor nnd tho other
members of our homo, for which I now most
humbly apologize and beg to be forgiven, do
make the following promtso, which I solemnly
agree to keep and presorvo forevor:
"I promtso to nbsolutojy censo tho tito of
spirituous and molt liquors of evory kind and
description. I also promise to spend all my
ovonlngs In my wife's company nt our home, or
elsewhere at her pleasure. 1 also promise to
contribute for her maintenance and comfort as
much money as I can earn In my profession.
"I further solemnly promise that In caso of
any failure on my part In observing tbe prom
ises, that If my wire shall tbon desire to seek
legal advice or to tako legal measures toward
me for her relief, that I will not oppose or resist
her in any way whatsoever In such action on
her part, but will quietly aud peaceably abide
any decision sho shall arrive at, or as she shall
then bo advised.
"This statemont is made In an humblo and
penitent spirit, and I earnestly hope nnd pray
that my wife and her children will endeavor to
overlook and forgivo my behavior.
" March 18, 1895. Klwoob 8. Leaiit."
According to Mrs. Leary's petition her hus
band did not koop his promise. Ho kept up his
drinking, but not to such an extent as beforo.
After about four months Mr. nnd Mrs. Loary,
In July, 1805, went to Mount Tabor for a few
days. Loary told his wifo ono dny that ho was
called homo to Newark on buslnoss. Ho did not
return and Mrs. Lcary followed him. She found
that he had been drunk and carouslntr with
friends at their homo. Her husband camo homo
Into and dragged her from her bod by her hair,
beat her and abused her In other wajs. Mrs,
Leary says tho reason sho did not thon begin
suit for divorce was that Leary's parents wanted
the affair hushod up, and as ther were support
ing ber. and were then building a houBe In
which sho was to live rent free, she consented
and forgavo blm. Mrs. Leary says her husband
is drunk nearly all tho tlmo. and boats nnd
abuses her. She asks for dlvorco and alimony.
Sho says her husband has never properly sup
ported her, but that she has tx-cn dependent
upon bis parents nnd hor thro children by a
former husband, tho youngest of whom is 18.
Mrs. Leary says sho was married to Leary at
tho Church of the Strangers. New York, by the
Rev. Dr. Deems, on Feb. 0. 1801, and camo to
Newark the sanio doy. On March 10, 1803,
Mrs. Lcary says, her husband came home drunk
and beat her until sho nns lasonslhienndcov
erod with blood, in which condition sho was
found by her son. It m then that sho con
sulted a lawyer to begin dlvorco proceedings.
Because Loary was a brother lawyor, hor coun
sel called upon hlra, nnd then It wan that ho
signed the curious agreement which ho failed to
keep.

FhANAOAN A3IONO HIS COVNTRXJIEN
The Great Hammer Thrower Wins at tbe Irian
IVntlonal Alllnnee Games.
A big crowd of enthusiastic Gaels attended
tho Inaugural gamos of tho Irish National Al
Banco nt Rldgowood Park yesterday afternoon,
and the summer dresses of tbo womon and tho
bright uniforms of tho Alllanco Voluntcors
mado a plcturcsquo cordon around tho track.
The threatening aspect of tho weather kept tho
attendance down somowhat, which was perhaps
jUBt as well from an athlctlu standpoint, ns tho
track was not roped In, and It was difficult to
keep tho crowd from encroaching on tho path.
John Flnnngnn was thu hero of tho day among
his countrymen nnd women, and It was with
difficulty that tho modest hammer thrower was
able to mako his way to tho dressing room
through tho throng of IiIb admirers. Tho chief
interest of tho crowd centred In tho hammer and
weight tin owing and tho hop. step and Jump,
which aro Irish national pastimes, and tho for
tuues of tho competitors In theso cents were
closcl) followed.
Tho tport commenced with the oiic-hundrod-yard
dash. In which Champion "Berney"
ffers figured at tho scratch. Tho handicap
did not suit tho N. Y. A. C. tljer, and ho decided
not to start. Tho winner turned up in J. J.
Hagman of Mt. Vernon, who had a mark of
elctcn jards. Ho won easily from Jerome
Buck or the Knickerbocker A. C. by two iirds.
Tho latter just nipped Cullen by less thnn u
toot. Thu guarter-mllo run was divided Into
two heats, tho first of which was won b)
Buck on sufferance, as Champion Burko
hem both tho Knickerbocker represcntntlio
and tho second man, Sugcnticlin. safe
had ho chosen to exert himself. Kinney
took the second hent from Whlthich of the N. J.
A. C, who was looked upon as the " good thing"
or tho race, with his handicap or 1!8 jnrds. Tho
final looked to bo an easy matter for Burke, but
he could not quite get up to his men on tho back
stretch, nnd tno poor track told on blm coming
up the straight. As a result ho could nut reach
Buck, who won by two yards. Burke beat Whlt
lach four yards for the place
Flanagan did not have to ciert hlmscir to win
the very handsomo cup offered for tho hammer
etcnt. Ho threw 142 foet 10a Inches, Mitchel's
best effort being lttO feet 3 inches, which, with
his handicap of 4a feet. Just enabled him to
tako second place from Cbndwlck of Yule, who
had 8 feet. Mitchelwns required to bent his own
worlds rocord of 15 feet 4 inches to win thu
Sll-pound weight for height. 1 ho big fellow Just
missed throwing 15 feet 0 Inches bv about an
inch, and O'Conuell of tho New West Sides won
with a throw or 1 1 fcot a inches on his bundlcnn
of 1'4 fcot. Mite hel was second and llertv third.
The other events were closely contested. Tho
games were managed by a corps of competent
officials, and the progrniiimo was finished on
bthcdulo time. The only unpleasant Incident
happened whllo the mrn were being put on their
marks in tho third heat of tho loo-vard dash.
Jcromo Buck of the Knickerbocker A. C. wns
dhsatlstlcd with his handicap, and, when re
monstrated with by tho clerk ot tho course, used
olwccno language to that official and wns
promptly reported to tho rercreo. This Is tho
second charge of the kind tiled against Buck,
and he muy be permanently suspended. Sunt-mar)-:

Montiikai, Aug. 5. The lilcncalrn II., de
signed by O. H. Dug-nn, who won tbeSonwan
haka International cup for twenty-footers last
) car, will, thero seems to bo little doubt, be tlio
Canadian defendor In this )car's races. It will
bo some tlmo In'foro the committee announces
Its decision. After tho second trials tho (ileu
cairn II. and tho A vara, both designed by Mr.
Duggun, were selected by the hailing Commit,
teo uf tho Ho)nl HI. Lnwrenco Yacht Clubns
tho two most likely boats to defend thu cup.
To-day the two j achts cnguged In n trial or speed,
nnd out of flvo rates the Glencairn won three

self, who Is admitted tu lie able to manngu a
sailing )ncht better than any other Canadian.
After koiuo manu-uvriiig tlio boats got away
ccnly for tho tlrft rat cover tho thn e milo tri

Atoca made a slight gain. The lilcncalrn II.

The second ruco was tho most exciting strug

on tho first leg the (ilenealrii II. paused her.
Amid cheors nnd excitement tho Oleiieuirn 11.

NnwronT, Aug. B.-Tho rnco for tho Ooolot ' W
cups was sailed to-dnv In a fresh northoast V iHh
broozo and aomothlng ot n son. Tho sloop cup T lIS
was won by N'avnhoo and tho schooner cup ,j jEs
by Colon la. Tho rnco, which Is usually con- jiBl
sldercd tho premier event of tho Now York 'Jilts
Yacht Cltib'scrulsc, lost much of Its significance) sSli

fur tho rneo wus not allowed to him after a post- 'fttimfil
poncmont mado early In tho morning because Vnfii3
of bad weather. 'W'fnWll
Tho sloops mado a fairly interesting race. nl
It wns sailed ovor tho thirty-eight mllo Block M IIS
Island course, which, with tho wind nt north- SU'
oast, mado it a spinnaker run to the niock Isl- W j
and mark, a bent to tho West Island mark, and n j
a reach to tho finish. In tho oarly forenoon the ,a ft 1
prospoct for a raco was poor. It was raining -S j
heavily and was thick outside tho harbor, so a B '
postponement was ordered. Later, liowovor, 'fa!
the signal for tho raco was made, and Vigilant,
Navahoe, and Colonta responded. 4 ' Is j
Tho start wns mado by tho sloops nt 12:15, "jS i 1
tho Itcgiittn Committoo being on board tho vjBnli
steam yacht Margarita. Tho preparatory slg- tmBl
n al ten minutes before that found tlio yachts Irflll
docldedly unprepared, for they had beon app&r- 1Uif
cntly waiting until Emerald put In an np- wBUt
pearance nnd to sco what tho weather would bo. iflrii
So nclthor had sails aloft and thoy were still ML' If 3)

crossed tho line. I'lraffli
Vigilant crossod at 12:18:22 nnd Navahoe at ftT'lHI
12:19:18. Iloth had booms to starboard, but IbHs)
they soon found that the other tack was the )
best and promptly Jlbod over nnd set splnna- 'Mil Bit
kers to starboard, with txioms well oft to port, iKSf
Navahoe was tho llrst to break out bcr splnna- 'lint?
kcr, but Vigilant gained a point by watting. -3 nil
Lulling across Navahoo's bow sho went out to twill
a windward position clear of her opponent's M Kl
wind und then boro nway and broke out her A fjfij'
spliinnkcr, but Navahoo was moving faBt, and J l?)l
on tlio long run to tho first mark sho pulled up i wlji
slowly on Vigilant. i
Tho mark for tho first turn wns bolng sot by ?j n' 1
tho tug Luckenbach, with tho sloops ubout halt ij? Ijvi! !
a mllu away und coming along very fast. In tho f uK
hcuv y sea tho raft carrying tba polo and fins $J WM
wub capsized mid thero was no time to right it. 1; Jj!,
A second mark was set, but It was to tlio cast- aj
ward of tho other one, und both boats had to 'j S"M
tako In spinnakers, Jlbo over, and bring the f fi;s
w lnd on tho quarter in ordor to roach it. Nava- B Inn
boo was nearest tho now mark and was first ' ,"53 JiJi
around It nt 2:40:09, with Vigilant JUBt astern -J? 4fl
and timed at 2:40:30. K B)Ijj
lloth boats held their port tack as they started V. PA
to turn lo windward. Navahoe had had troubla ,6 H'H
with her topsail on tho run down, and now took rffi gt'JC
It in nnd set nnothcr. Hlie held her port tack iiVulifl
until .1:13, nnd then, tucking tosturnoard. came -ifM
lu toward Vigilant, which was well to wind- -'$
ward. Fhe minutes Inter, with tbo boats ;1lB
within half a mile of cacti other, Vlgllant's fMMM
skipper cvidentl) thought ho could not cross iRi
Nuv ahoo's bow nnd so tacked to starboard. For !??!-
Just half uu hour tbo boats bold their starboard WEr'
tnek w 1th much tho samo performance as on the Mjf!
llrst tack. Vigilant was pointing higher, but Sl32
Navahoe was doing tho footing una was slowly HlsTf
pulling up ou even terms. jUl'
At !t:00, with Navuhoe ranging ud very fast, vam"
Vigilant tneke-d to port in an cftort to cross her vflnf :
bow-but failed, aud was compelled to puss under ...
her stem. Navahoe tacked at once on the Vig- Hf '
Hunt's weather quarter, and had her antagonist Al :
saioly beaten barring an accident. This was ;tl M
about half a milo froui tho West Island -1 9
mark, nnd Navahoo held Vigilant under her i,'ft
lee very handsomely until 4:0-1, nnd then tacked itiW
to starboard with tho mark nut far away. At !jj
-1:00:40 she rounded It und boro away lor tho , SI mii
llnlbh, whllo Vigilant was tlniod at 4-07:01. f Ep
Navahoo set a balloon jlbtopsall which was -'AJj-j
broken out ns she readied thu mark, while evflaj
Vigilant set only a No. 1 Jlbtopsall and later on J&VnBI
a balloon forcstaj sail. tSVnH
Vigilant wns hardly round tho stake when she ,x-" h
began to lull out on Navahoo's weather quarter. ivVsi
The latter responded until her ballooner was jkB f,J I
halt attack, aim then Vigilant gave it up for tbo vr) 4t
timet cuing, and both bore nway tor the finish. $ f ;!
Hut tho gamo was soon tried aguin by Vigilant, i'H MI
nnd this tlmo it wns successful, aho luffed tirf
further and higher than was possible JI "',
fur Navahoo with her ballooner, and J &ftl
finally got ncr wind and ran by her to tt Sf.Ji!
windward with a rush, Navahoe In turn f,!j fihi
tried to lutT out, but Vigilant was in better fi.pt
shapo to respond, nnd easily held her rival In ,, i j)j
tilaec. The sailing was of the most exciting j 1'jJ.f
kind, and for u mllo there was liardlj clear Jt afl'
space between Navahoe's bowsprit and VIgi- ; i vltt
hint's main boom, but then Vigilant began to , ! u
gain, and pulle t away to a lead uf two or throe "t I p!
