HUMORS OF THE POLICE.
Tha Clerical Corps Locking Dyspeptic and
Feverish-Anxious as to the Governor’s
Action-Looking Ahead Where to Get s
Political Puli—Stationing Men at Sues'
tionable Houses—Worrying Mr. Blake
Without Cause.
A HOUSE or MOURNING.
Headquarters last week looked like a house of
mourning; from Commissioners down to doorman 4
every one wore a sickly, dyspeptic phiz. Their sym
pathies were, of coarse, all one-sided. If the
Board had to "go,” they thought that there would
bo some sweeping changes.
They know now that they hold their office by a
very slender thread. By a decision of the courts, it
h not necessary to serve any charges or specifica
tions on a clerk when the Commissioners intend tc
remove him. They have only to serve a notice on
the clerk to appear before them, and show cause
why he should not be removed. The man that
would go before the Board to try to convince them
to retain him, after they had made up their minds
to remove him, and bad actually installed a man in
his plaee, would be more than a fool for his pains.
Thus it is that the employees at headquarters are
looking sharply around and discussing who shall
step into tne defunct Commissioner’s shoes if re
moved, and are already casting about for the bait
that will take to be retained.
MENACING QUESTIONABLE HOUSES.
It has been customary for police captains to take
the responsibility of placing an officer with a bull’s
eye before certain houses of questionable repute.
Why fish should be made of one and flesh of an
other it is easy to infer. If Captain Williams werj
to station an officer at each of the three hundred
houses of questionable repute, and an officer at the
doors of the twenty gambling hells in the Twenty
ninth precinct, it would require over six hundred
men to guard the precinct.
A Mrs. Goggins who not long ago bought a house
in the Twenty-ninth precinct, found an officer sta
tioned before her door. She took the proper and
the cheapest course to get rid of him by making
application to the Supreme Court to have the
nuisance removed. The Court called upon the
Board for its reasons for this action, instead of re
turning an answer they ordered a discontinuance
of the espionage. This stationing men at certain
houses and withdrawing them at pleasure has been
long in vogue under the present regime, at the
whim of one and somatimes two Commissioners,
without consulting the Superintendent or obtaining
the sanction of the full Board.
The Mayor ought to have made those arbitrary
proceedings, in occasional cases, the subject of in
quiry.
fc.Tbers ie one thing, however, that must be said
in favor Of Oaptaifi William#—the precinct was
never kept more free of panel-houses under any
previous captain than it has been under him. At
one time “ Shang” Draper had more than one es
tablishment running in that precinct. No house
ef this character can run two days in a precinct
under an efficient captain without his being in
formed of it. At present there is not, nor for a
longtime past has there been, a genuine panel
house in the Twenty-ninth Precinct. Of course,
there are a few establishments in which a man will
be swindled, but that is unavoidable.
THE WILLIAMS FARCE TRIAL.
Three times Mr. Blake, the complainant against
Captain Williams, has been brought from Trenton,
N. J., on a fool’s errand. The first day It was at the
instance of Captain Williams, who declined to go
on in the absence of his counsel. Motion to ad
# journ was a right that is granted in any court, and
could not be denied here.
On Monday, when the case came up. It was ad
journed by the Board without giving any satisfac
tory reason, excepting that they were preparing
their own defence before the Governcr. Instead of
adjourning the case a week, they laid it over until
noon of the following day. But the Board were
too excited and interested In their own affairs to
take it up, and it was adjourned over to Saturday,
and Mr. Blake was compelled to return to Trenton
after two fruitless and expensive journeys. It is
likely that, disgusted at these delays, he may give
up the case.
This trifling with tbe’people has been so common
that of itself it would be good cause for the remova
of the Commissioners.
THE ADJOURNMENTS ON WEDNESDAY.
On Wednesday thirty complaints against patrol
men at the lorenoon session, were adjourned till
BJonday. At the afternoon session nine complaints
by citizens went over to the same time. The ma
jority 01 these cases were adjourned over from the
week previous, because the Board had not time to
try them.
Of the thirty cases which should have been tried
at the morning session, there are only three of a
serious character.
Michael Denning, of the Eighth Precinct, is
charged with intoxication at 12 M., April Ist. He
was lound by Roundsman Larkin intoxicated, and
ordered to report at the station-house. He refused
to go, hoping to sober up before he got there. He
was still under the influence of liquor when be
reached the station, at least the inference is that he
was in that condition, as Sergeant McNalley and Dr.
Doran are down as witnesses.
The charge against Thomas F. Ryan, Seventh Pre
cinct, is, being in a liquor store at two o’clock in
the morning. This is serious even if his defense is
that.be went to the closet, and that he did not go
there to have a drink, he witnessed a violation of
the Excise Law, and did not make an arrest. He
may, however, prove that the barkeeper fell asleep
and forgot to lock bis door and turn down the
ights. That is the usual plea made and provided
for in such cases. It creates a doubt and prevents
a break.
Wuai the cause of quarrel was between Grant and
Dakin, of the mounted squad, does not appear from
the papers. The complainant simply states that
while they were in the sitting-room of the station
house Grant lifted one of those heavy earthenware
spittoons and fired it at Dakin* It caught him oa
the head, knocking him down, insensible, and his
head was cut severely. If an officer will do that to
a brother officer, in the station-house, what will he
not do to an ugly prisoner ? But perhaps the prov
ocMiou was unbearable.
The case oi Emil Bach, the spy, has been adjourn
ed sine die, and the papers have been ordered to be
eent to the Grand Jury, He has plenty of time to
get beyoud the jurisdiction of the court if he is in
dicted. On the 3d of February, 1873, ho swore in
his application papers, to get on the police, that he
had never been arrested. The proof is that in
March, 1869, be was arrested for assault, and on
April 10th, 1869, he was arrested for another offense.
The rule under which Emil Bach is suspended
reads as follows, and is sworn to before being qual
fied to act as patrolman. The sworn statement of
Emil Bach (which applies to all applicants,) and
says he is applicant for appointment as patrolman
on the Municipal Police, and it is made in the form
of question and answer, for the purpose of estab
lishing qualifications for that office:
Q. —What is your name ? A.
Q.—Where were your parents born ? A.
Q. —Where were you bora? A.
Q —lf out of the United States have you been
naturalized ? A.
Q.—ln what Court, when and where? A.
Q. —Can you read and write the English language
nnderatandingly? A.
Q. —Have you ever been arrested or convicted of
any crime ? A.
Q. —if any, what? A.
Q. —Are you married or single ? A.
Q. —If married, what family have you? A.
Q. —What has been your business or employ
ment? A.
He is then asked if he has ever had rheumatism,
fits, piles, been on the force before, in the military
service, his age, and finally if he has paid or prom
ised to pay or give any money, or consideration to
any person, directly or indirectly, for any recom
mendation, service, or influence given, used or
promised toward procuring his appointment.
11118 last query is a clincher. If he has paid
money, he will swear “No;” and if afterward he
should attempt to raise a row about it, or say that he
has given a hundred dollars more or less, he will be
convicted of perjury out of his own mouth, and be
dismissed from the Department. Hence it is that a
man that has paid for an appointment has his
mouth effectually sealed before he dons the bur
nished buttons.
JUDGMENTS BY THE BOARD.
There was one dismissal from the force last week,
Michael McCaffrey, of the Eighteenth Precinct, who
was treed twenty minutes in a liquor saloon corner
ot Fourteenth street and Third avenue, on a Sunday
afternoon.

The Trial of Capt Wiffiains.
* Tha Proceedings at Headquarters Yester
i. day—Everything Breaking Down.
ie
j Five cases, or complaints, were called up yester
day before half of the Board of Police dommiesion
a ers, President Smith and Treasurer Wheeler being
it absent; but after baif an hour’s delay the proceed
- inga were commenced before Commissioners Er
xj hardt and Nichols.
n Commissioner Wheeler is on an indefinite leave
o of absence, and Commissioner Smith cleared out
,t of the building rather than stand the cross fire of
n a civilian colonel on the witness stand. “Baldy”
g can stand powder and shot, and what not, but on
a leaving Jthe building yesterday ho said he’d be
i. blessed if he could stand the tongue of Bliss, it
e was worse than the roar of a forty pounder.
1 The case of Capt. Williams progressed very
_ smoothly in the absence of the contumacious wit
t ness.
If Col. Bliss had insisted on the appearance of
General Smith as a witness, General Smith would
have been compelled to ask for an attachment from
the Supreme Court against himself for the appear
ance of himself before himself. That might have
been funny, but it would not have been pleasant.
Thus he was excused.
According to Col. Bliss the trials at headquarters
have been lax, slip shod, conducted on principles
not consistent with justice or the rules of law, but
on whims moved by political moters, as the weath**
ercock is by the wind.
THE NEGATIVE.
Mr. Merryfield, proprietor of the Continental
Hotel, was at the Garden that evening; he heard
the hissing, and he thought if there had been club
bing he would have seen it.
Michael Ryan, engaged in the packing-box busi
ness, saw Capt. Williams go up to the seat where
Blake sat, and shove him out. He saw no clubbing*
Lewis Delereaux, a tailor, sat within a couple of
seats of Blake. He saw the captain send a citizen
up to him and then come up himself and take him
by the coat and eject him. He saw no clubbing*
Mr. Blake had an overcoat on bis back or on his
arm. Which, he could not say.
Moses Salinger, a butcher, bad a seat back of
Blake—or the man supposed to be Blake—and saw
the captain come up while the hissing was going on
and say “Get out of there.” He didn’t “go,” and
he shoved him down, and then the captain ordered
him out. He saw no clubbing. He acknowledged
that the captain took him rather forcibly.
THE DEFENSE.
The defense was that all through the six days’
walk in Gilmore’s Garden there was an unruly ele
ment. The audience of eight thousand would hiss
Rowley as he passed and cheer O’Leary and Harri
man. Any moment a riot might break out.
Passing Rowell’s stand where Blake was, Capt.
Williams hoard hissing, he thought it was at Row
ell, not himself, as the time-keepers and trainers of
Rowell had been complaining to him every half
hour of the treatment the Englishman was receiv
ing. He feared it might result in a row and break
uP the walk, and when Rowell’s principal hisser
was pointed out to him he merely went up and
touched him with the club and told him to get out.
He followed five feet after him and could not have
struck him if he so desired. Half an hour after
ward Blake obtained admittance, after making an
apology and saying that he would behave himself.
That closed this case.
But before it closed Colonel Bliss moved to dis
miss the complaint on the ground that it was a
misdemeanor, and that the Board had no right to
try him. Clubbing was a criminal offense.
If that motion were entertained, then no citizen
could make complaint against an officer. It is the
same ground taken by Commissioner Smith before
the Governor. But is that the ground the Board
themselves took when they tried Captain Seibert
for perjury, dismissed him. but never sent the
papers before the Grand Jury ?
THEN THE GAMBLING CHARGES.
Captain Williams had four charges against him
for failing to break up or make arrests of proprie
tors of gambling-houses.
James Curley, complainant in one case, did not
appear. Neither did Michael Dunn on the secohd,
nor did Charles Williams on the third, and their
cases went over until to-morrow at eleven o’clock.
Col. Bliss said they had subpenaed one of the
complainants in Commissioner Smith’s room, an
other was recently irom the Penitentiary, and the
third If he appeared they would show up.
MURPHY’S COMPLAINT.
Thomas W. Murphy, an ex-policeman, was the
fourth complainant. February 2Cth, he went into
Patrick Murphy’s gambling saloon, No. I,237Broad
way, and lost fifteen dollars at rouge-et-noir. About
ten o’clock in the evening he complained of his loss
to Capt. Williams, who said he did not collect gam
bling debts or losses, but if he would make a com
plaint he would pull the place. Detective Dunlap
was sent to “pull” the place, Murphy accompanying
him.
Pat Mackey was arrested, and when arraigned
while before the desk as the sergeant was taking his
pedigree, Mackey slipped a roll of bills in Murphy’s
band, and when asked what complaint he had to
make he said, “None.” The sergeant asked him
three or four times and he gave none invariably.
The sergeant went to the captain and asked what
he should do, as Murphy refused to make acorn
plaint, and the captain said, “Well, let him go, you
can’t hold a prisoner without a complaint.”
He camo out of the room and if D 9 CbmpWnt
could be made the prisoner must bo discharged.
Murphy then turned ou his hoel and walked out,

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
STRIKING A HORSE WlTfi A PITCH
FORK-SEVERE COMMENTS BY
THE COMMISSIONERS—FIRES OF
THE MONTH—RULES FOR AP
POINTMENTS ON THE FORCE,
ETC.
During the past week matters at the headquar
ters of the Fire Department of our city, have not
been marked with anything of an unusual character.
The regular weekly session of the Board was
held, as usual, on last Wednesday morning, with
President King in the chair.
Commissioner Gorman stated > that the horses
used by Engine Company, No. 25, on last Sunday,
did not belong to the department, but were simply
being used for trial, and after they were found to
be “ balky ” they were returned to their owner as
being unfit for the fire service. Horses are gen
erally supplied to the department for trial for one
month, and if in that time they prove serviceable
they are bought under the supervision of the Su
perintendent of Horses; otherwise they are sent
back to their owners without any expense to the
city.
TRIED FOR STRIKING A HORSE.
Louis M. Harned, of Engine Company, No. 31,
was placed on trial charged with, “ while removing
the bedding from the stalls, on the morning of
the 30th ult., striking a horse with a pitchfork.’ ’
whereby the animal received considerable injury.
Harned plead guilty and said:
•‘I was fixing the bedding when an alarm of fire
came in; there was a new team of horses, and as
they did not respond quick enough to the alarm, I
urged them on with the pitchfork.. I was laboring
under great excitement at the time, aud did not
know with which end of the fork I struck the horse.
I called the captain’s attention to what I had done,
and told him I did not intend to hurt the animal.
, (To Com. Perley).—lt was done accidentally.'*
President King—“Harned, I want you and every
other man connected with this Department to un.
derstand that this cruelty to our horses will not be
tolerated. You bavo no business to strike a horse
so as to injure him. Horses can be handled in other
ways without resorting to the use of pitchforks.”
Com. Perley—“ You must not attempt to drive
horses with pitchforks. There are other and better
means which can be adopted to urge the horses to
their work.”
Harned—“Well, Mr. President, I did not do it
with any intention to hurt the horse. He, however,
was not much injured. He was gentle, but needed
urging. He *had never kicked me nor at me.”
Foreman Bradley—“l don’t believe Harnod in
tended to hurt the horse, aud I thought the ani
mal was bit with the other (the pole) end of the
fork.*’
President King— ” Captain, I want you to instruct
the men in your company that the horses must not
be hit with a pitchfork under any circumstances,
and if it is necessary to make this more forcible,
you bad better post a notice in your quarters to
• that effect at once.”
The Board then decided to reprimand Harned in
“General Orders,” and have him cautioned against
a repetition of bis offense in the future. President

forma already approved of and adopted.
NEWARK NEWS.
A Corruscating Cat—He was Searching for
Cold—Tha Hewitt Homicide—The Sir
Knights and Good Friday—A Rash Lover’s
Little Mistake—A Hint That May Mean
Something.
A CORBUSCATING CAT.
They had never heard of Henry Bergh, had those
wicked small boys, and they believed that the cat
was created solely to bo worried and tormented for
their special amusement. They laid for one of these
feline martyrs in Library court, and having caught
poor pussy, they poured kerosene oil upon her
from the point of her nose to the tip of her tail.
One of the youths then touched her off with a
match. There was a brilliant confiscation in the
air, and for about ten seconds it seemed as if a
Northern light was moving down through tbe
court. The cat then dashed into a toy store amid
all kinds of combustible things, aud the owner of
the goods set up a howl of anguish at the prospec
tive loss of his goeds. But like the boy he ••stood
en the burning ship” while the cat cantered in a
fiery circle around the room and then down stairs.
The cat is dead, but the small boy who illuminated
her still Jives, and has .not yet been lound by the
police.
Newark is just now a good missionary field for
Mr. Bergh. Not long ago some men poured kero
sene oil upon a dog and sent him blazing and howl
ing through Military Park, in broad daylight.
HE WAS SEARCHING FOR GOLD.
“Henry McEnsen, you were drunk on High
street and attracting a crowd by plowing up tbe
street with your nose,” said his Honor in tbe po
lice court to a red-faced youth whose nose was
skinned like a peeled peach.
“I wag searching for gold,” responded the pris
oner, with a steady voice and a peculiar light in his
eye.
“Is there a gold mine on High street?” inquired
his Honor, with a peculiar look.
“It is so said. My great-great aunt, who sailed
to these shores in the wake of Sir Hendrik Hudson
ioretold that these hills would one day yield abund
ance of the precious metal, and the time has come
your Honor, when I shall open this treasure to an
astonished world.”
••Young man, you spoke about a ‘wake.* People
don’t go digging into gold mines with their noses;
it would take you a million years to get that mug
of yours more than about five feet under ground,
and then it will be turned up toward the roots ot
the daisies. A ‘wake,’ was it? I guess that’s
where you’ve been to, and Jersey lightning struck
you,on this gold business instead of your great
great-auut’e prophecy; beside, I think your whole
family must have been born in Donegal, and that
your great-great-aunt never knew any more about
Dutchland than a Dahomey dame does about Deu
teronomy. However, as you think yourself a pros
pective millionaire, this trifle of five dollars as a
fine would be of little account to you. You haven’t
got it? Well, the court will trust you this time;
but the next time you want to dig for gold get a
good pickax and spare your nose. You are dis
charged.”
And he left the court room whistling:
“St. Patrick was a gentleman,
He had a bandsomo Dose.”
THE HEWITT HOMICIDE.
Frank Glennon, who killed Tnomas Hewitt last
Saturday morning, by shooting him with a revolver
was found guilty of manslaughter by the Coroner’s
jury, evidence having been given that on the night
of the shooting Hewitt lay in wait for Glennon in
tending to whip him. Glennon has bailed in
the sum of $5,000 to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
THE SIR KNIGHTS AND GOOD FRIDAY.

Good Friday on the evening of that day by attend
ing services in tbe Church of the Redeemer, where
an eloquent sermon was preached to them hy Pas.

of Sir Knights were present from Elizabeth, Jersey
City and Paterson. A large evergreen cross and

A RASH LOVER’S LITTLE MISTAKE.
On Friday evening Mr. George —, living in a
genteel boarding-house up town, and employed as u
clerk in an insurance office on Broadway, on his re
aurn to his lodging, found two notes. One was
from the lather of his betrothed, a well-to-do manu
facturer, stating that he had promised his daughter
a trip to Europe in May, but owing to pressing and
unexpected business engagements, he could not go.
He had no doubt that a proposition that he wou.u
make would be agreeable to bis intended son-in-law.
It was that bis marriage with his daughter should
take place five months earlier tbau the date agreed
upon, and that the young man, as bridegroom,
should take tho father’s place on tbe European trip;
the father-in-law to present the young couple with
the sum of $2,000 to pay their expenses. The other
note was from the father of another girl, with whom
George had flirted at balls, and in whose ear he had
whispered sweet nonsense “by moonlight alono,”
occasionally.
The father, being an impecunious book agent or
’ something of the sort, thought fit to bring things
to a focus, as he considered fciorge •• a good
catch.** He accordingly wrote to the effect that be
did not desire to hasten things or seem imperil
nent, but he thought the “meaning of the young
man’s intention toward darling Oxara could not be
well mistaken,” and if he was serious, why not let
her father know it now, as it would be of consider
able importance to him to know how to make his
arrangements for Spring; if they were married Ly
May be might board wita them, etc.
5 George promptly answered both notes, but he
’ had been with some friends, aud somehow he got
> the envelopes mixed. Yesterday morning, just as
he was preparing to leave his room, the father of
* his betrothed appeared at the door, and seizing a
’ chair in one hand and exhibiting a note in the otb
-1 er, be commenced a furious onset on his would-be
son-in-law.
After the first volley of his fury was spent and
the crunching of the chair had ceased, be ex
claimed, holding up the note, “You treacherous
and ungrateful young villain, how dare you send
i me this?”
George took the paper and read:
’ ‘-Sir: Goto h-U with your daughter. I allow no
’ man to dictate to me when I shall marry, I never
) cared for the girl, and she is a d d fool to think
I did—and even ii I could have been serious about
her, the thought of having a conniving meddliog
a old cosa like you bothering inc, would make me
t Hick of the whole business. G—
t wined tb« blood irom his nose, cooled bis
n i swcUiiFg eye-brow with a sponge and explained that
| he bad sent tho wrong notes to tho wrong persons.
| As the future father-in-law grow calm and listened
•t | there-was a rap at the door, and a cadaverous look
a ing individual in a seedy suit appeared, making an
8 obsequious bow. KetooheMa note, and smiling
said, “From the bottom of my heart ”
p “To the bottom of the stairs you mean,” exclaimed
3 tho young man, seizing the paper ami backing firm
borpss the hall and over the balusters. George then
handed to tbe father of his betrothed the note that
was intended for him, full of expressions of gratitude
and pleasure and rose-colored promises for tbe
future. The difficulty has been satisfactorily ad
justed, and to-night George will give a little private
d champagne supper to his future wife’s father, to
- which none but the family have boen invited,
if Yesterday afternoon the father of data signed a
- receipt in full of all demands of himself and daugh
, tor in consideration of tbe sum of $l5O.
A HINT THAT MAY MEAN SOMETHING.
Yesterday the Executive Committee of the Law
e and Order Association called the attention oi the
n Mayor and Chief of Police to the practice of selling
e liquor on Sundays in saloons in the vicinity of the
y City Hall. They also brought to the notice of those
j. officials certain theatrical performances that take
i. place every Sunday within a short distance from
s the Mayor’s office. Accompanying this document
f were copies of indictments recently found against
- the Mayor and Chief of Police of Rochester for
I, allowing the sale of liquor and theatrical perform
ances on Sunday in that city. Some people think
that all this means something more than a hint,

A SUSPENDID CATHOLIC PRIEST CREATING A
DISTURBANCE IN ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH.
1 John McGill, a suspended Catholic clergyman,
3 about sixty-three years of age, was arrested yester-
> day morning for creating a disturbance in St. Au
• drew’s Catholic Church by using profane and inde
cent language, and threatening to sssault those who
remonstrated with him. On being brought before
Justice Otterbourg he demanded in loud tones that
, he should be confronted by his accuser, and that
i the charge against him should be formally stated.
The magistrate recognized in him the same indi
vidual who endeavored to extort money by false
pretenses from Mary O’Connor, of No. 100 Oliver
street, on March 11, and against whom other
charges of a similar or worse nature were pre
ferred. The prisoner was compelled to acknowl
edge that he had served a term of one month on
Blackwell’s Island. He was held for examination.
A DISEASE THAT WRECKS ThF SYSTEM.
Every function is deranged, every nerve unstrung,
every muscle and fibre weakened by fever and ague.
It is, in fact, a disease which if unchecked, eventu
al'y wrecks tbe system. In all its types, in every
phase, it is dangerous, destructive. Stupor, de
lirium, convulsions, often attend it, and cause swift
dissolution. But when combatted with Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters its foothold in the system is dis
lodged, and every vestige of it eradicated. That
benign anti-febrile specific and preventive of the
dreaded scourge is recognized not only within Our
own boundaries, but in tropic lands far beyond
them, where intermittents and remittents are
fearfully prevalent, to be a sure antidote to the
malarial poison and a reliable means of overcoming
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, of
which a vitiated torrid atmosphere and brackish
miasma-tainted water are extremely provocative.
All emigrants and travelers should be supplied
with it.
Tlie Captain’s jVfHdavlts-
THIS IS ALL THEY ARE WORTH.
A captain, after coming out of Commissioner
Nichols’ room, after making affidavit that the
streets were thoroughly cleaned and tbe police per
fectly disciplined, remarked:
“G— d— the thing. Tne streets in my precinct
haven’t been cleaned in a year. It is only a Custom-
House oath, that is all we took.”
