LONG, WINDY TRIALS IN PROSPECT.
The trials of Capt, Williams of the Twenty-ninth
Precinct, and Captain Ryan, of the Twenty-first Pre
cinct, are both set down for Thursday next.
Tho charge against Williams is failing to close up
the gambling saloons in his precinct on December
27th, 1884, when so ordered by his superior officer,
Supt. Walling. Nor did he report to his superior
officer that gambling houses wore open and had been
doing business from November 2d, 1884, up to Janu
ary 20th, 1885.
Tho houses pulled in Inspector Byrnes’ raid are
enumerated in the complaint. They are, or were,
located at Nos. 26 and 28 East Twenty-fourth street,
o West Twenty-fourth street, 6,13, 41, and 57 West
Twenty-eighth street, 6, 30, and 39 West Twenty
ninth street, 60 West Thirtieth street, 50, 51, 55, 58,
and 61 West Thirty-first street, 100 West Thirty-sec
ond street, and 552 and 526 Sixth avenue.
The charges against Captain Ryan are that, while
In his son-in-law’s liquor saloon on Sunday, he per
mitted Peter Woods to bo beaten by the bartender.
Both trials will be very lengthy, as well as windy.
Full scope will bo given all around, as it is likely
the Mayor will ask to bo furnished with a copy ot
the testimony.
MIXED HIS CASE UP.
The roundsman went four times over the post ol
Matthews and could not find him. He said he was
sailed off post to a house by an Italian family that
was fighting.
'•Who called you in?” asked Com. French.
*‘A woman dt No. 59 Baxter street.”
" Is she here ?”
"No.”
"Did you arrest any one ?”
"No.”
" What did the woman say ?”
"I didn’t know. She made mo know there was a
’OW.”
"Did you go in the house?”
"Yes, sir; to the second floor.”
"What did she say ?”
" She made out there was a row.”
•' What did you say ?”
"It was a crowd of Italians, and I had to get an
Interpreter.”
" What wc.s the occasion of it?”
"I didn’t understand.”
" Then you saw no row?”
"I couldn’t make it out.”
" Did you see any difficulty ?”
a "No.”
"Did you see evidence of a row ?”
"I saw them,arguing.”
"You understood them about as much as I nn
aerstand you. What did you seo, and what did
you do?”
"1 Went in the house. They told me there was a
dispute, and one drew a knife. I searched for the
man and didn’t find either.”
The sergeant said he went four times over the
post; saw no indications of a row in the house, and
the officer mads O© m!) statement as he had made

the Commissioner,
WHY A PRISONER ESCAPED.
Glennon, of the Fourth Precinct, was charged by
Sergeant Granger, of the Tombs police court, with
permitting his prisoner to escape from court. The
officer arrested two men for stealing a scow- He
placed them in the pen, and then took them before
the clerk, and then allowed one of them to escape.
He walked ahead of his prisoner to tho stairs
leading below to the prison, instead of following his
prisoner. The prisoner followed, so far, turned
like a visitor into court and passed the officer on
B i y a *d th® gate who supposed him a witness.
'Aho officer said he brought- his prisoner out in
£P? r S?<XL t^®.'i^ Urt Th« court officer was
lue gui.uj paxvj, auv* was respa? aible for the escape »
•Under rule 714. " I have nothing further to do
with the prisoner after I take him to court,” said
the officer.
Well, if Com. French sust .. . . „ •*»
officer it will be news to ’, fla
<Ol'ce generally.
The escape of John Hanley brought up a charge
against Sergt. Granger.
Inspector Murray was the immediate superior of
Granger. When the escape occured he failed to
telephone him, or send a discription of the man
escaped, so that he could send out a general alarm.
The first he knew of the affair was three days after
through a newspaper reporter, who came to inter
view him on the escape. Tho sergeant had then
made a complaint against the officer. The sergeant
told the officer to tell his captain of the escape. The
Inspector’s notion was that the sergeant should
have sent out an alarm to him from the Tombs.
The sergeant said there was a telephone there
belonging to the Charities and Correction.’but isn’t
always in working order. He sent the officer over
to his captain to have a general alarm sent out. -
The officer then came back and got a warrant for
the arrest of the escaped prisoner and arrested him
next day.
Failing to notify Inspector Murray was a question
©f police etiquette.
A TOOTHACHE.
On the morning of the 2.5th ult., Sergt. Thompson
looked in the engine house in Leonard street, and
saw Officer O’Brien sitting asleep in a chair ten feet
from the door. On lilting his bat and speaking to
him, he woke up.
"I wa’n’t asleep,” said O’Brien. " I was suffering
*’Am a terrible toothache, and 1 sat with my hand,
in the pain.”
‘l’°., toothache out ” said

Com. French. “Tell the tru.u, « mqbt, and
out a great deal better. It was a coiu —->
you thought you would get warmed.”
HARLEM’S SNEAK THIEVES.
James Twomey failed to discover a burglary in a
hardware store on Third avenue, Harlem. Twomey
had the last tour—6 to 8. A little hole, four inches
square, was made in the pane of glass next the door.
The window projected a foot.
The officer said this was a frequent occurrence.
He had seen three or four stores where there was a
hole big enough to insert a wire and draw the goods
out. He said he saw the hole in the window at 7
o’clock, and reported it at 8:20, when he came in the
house. The sneaks on this occasion drew out of the
little bole, with the wil& five pairs of skates. Har-.
lem is pestered with those window sneak thieves.
PRVNK, BUT WAS LOGICAL IN HIS CONCLU
SIONS.
"So much under the influence of liquor as to bo
unfit for duty,” wag tfee charge against Scanlon, of
tho Sixteenth Precinct.
Sergeant Polhemus said he turned out the men at
12 M. At 1:60 Scanlon came in alone. His tour
commenced at 12 o’clock.
What attracted your attention to him?" asked
Com. French.
" Standing on the stoop outside. He came in tho
door and staggered a HUje, i*aj% ‘S < ? a OlP n i
haveyqu tpan?’ fie Hay's, 'Please excuse me.’ I
fiajd, ‘What’S tho matter?’ He said, ‘l’ve been
drinking; please excuse me.’ I then called the
doorman and Sergeant Tims, and asked them what
they thought of his condition. The sergeant
thought him drunk, and I ordered him to bed. He
attempted to go out of the station-house, but I or
dered him up stairs. He went up to bed without
assistance.”
The doorman said the officer admitted to him
that he had been drinking.
Sergeant Tims said it was a clear case of drunk.
His eyes wandered, he staggered, and had all the
evidence of being incapable of doing duty.
Scanlon said he got excused for an hour, and took
permission to remain till twelve o’clock.
'• My folks came from New Haven,” he said, "and
1 stayed with them, and drank till twelve o’clock,
and came to do duty like a man. I had not drank
in six years before that. 1 realized my condition at
half-past twelve, and I stood half an hour at the
station-house, in the street, considering whether I
should go in or not.”
Com. French remarked that the officer did not
look like a drinking man. Sympathy was rather
with the man; he was a brand-new officer, and had
apparently the stuff in him to make a first-class
But the second charge went rather against him.
He could lie as well as get drunk.
Found talking with a female while on post, he
told Sergeant Blair that It was his mother’s sister.
'•That was not true?” remarked Com. French.
"No, sir.”
There was a third charge, absent from midnight
roll call. That was on the occasion when he stood
outside drunk, deliberating whether he should go
inside and report himself, or slide home, and he
finally faced the music.
IN A FAIR WAY TO LOSE HIS BUTTONS.
The complaint against officer Patrick Early was
intoxication in the Tombs Police Court, at 9A. M.,
January 27. Roundsman Fawcett said tlje charge
was true. At 8:20 he saw the officer enter tne CQMt
room with a colored boy prisoner. He grabbed the
colored boy about the face so as to make him cry.
He then went before the Judge and gave evidence of
having a pretty good load. He staggered. He then
B§pt to the station-house for his sergeant.
Roundsman Doyle, of the Sixth Precinct, said he
was sent from tho station-house to see the officer’s
condition. He found him sitting in the sergeant’s
room, under the influence of liquor, and took him
to the station-house. Early looked like a man that
had been drinking. He told him he was sick that
morning, and took a couple of drinks. At the
station-house he was turned over to Sergeant Ryan.
Tho sergeant said the officer walked the floor a
little irregular and was drowsy. He gave tho dispo
sition of his prisoner, ten days. Two hours aitort
he doctor came, then ho was sober.
The officer said he had a great deal of trouble
with his prisoner. He took only two drinks, the
first at twenty minutes past six, the other at a
quarter to eight.
" You may escape this time,” remarked the Com
missioner. “Fined eleven days, and not a year on
the force.”
IN A LIQUOR SALOON.
Nugent, Thirteenth Precinct, was in the liquor
saloon, No. 99 Broome street. Officer and rounds
man said tho charge was correct.
Nugent said be was on his way from the school,
and there was a dangerous hole in front of the door.
He told this man twice to fix it. The last time he
went inside and asked him if he intended to let that
slide stand until some one’s neck was broke. He
had twenty-five men at dinner, and he said he
would attend to it immediately.
The roundsman said there was a dangerous slide
at the door.
MRS. McGOVERN TO BLAME.
Kelly, of the Eighteenth Precinct, who could not
be found by the roundsman, said he was called into
No. 511 East Sixteenth street by a woman to arrest
her husband. After the husband was dressed the
wife refused to go with him to make a complaint.
He might have been twenty-five minutes in the
room. The name of the party was McGovern.
The roundsman said the house was all dark when
he passed it.
HELENE, OF EAST BROADWAY. 1
Mrs. Helene leased No. 4 East Broadway. The
lower part she sub-leases. It is a liquor saloon kept
by one Yorkey, but she does not consider him her
tenant. Up stairs she has occupied as a lodging
house nearly three years.
*• State all the facts in tho caso, Mrs. Helene,” said
Com. McClave.
•• On the 20th of last month a man named Wm.
Yorkey came to my office and paid me money. He
was very insulting and abusive because I had the
Excise Commissioners after him. He would not
give me a chance to count the money. I told him
to refrain till I counted the money. He didn’t,
and 1 put the money in the drawer. It was for
WUk”
" Did you give him a receipt ?”
"No.”
•• Why ?”
"In the first place he wouldn’t let me count the
money. Yorkey runs the liquor store, but 1 don’t
recognize him. Beemer let it to him, and I gave
the receipts to him in Beemer’s name. I went up
stairs and in a short time one of the guests says,
Yorkey has sent his bartender forjtwo policemen.
Soon after a guest of the house came up stairs and
said two officers were down stairs who wanted to see
Yorkey. They left and returned, and Yorkey came
up with tho two officers. One of the officers said
did this man pay you money? I said it is none of
I your business. Then one of them stepped up and
demanded at the point of his club that I should
give Yorkey a receipt. I told the officer I would see
his captain. Then they turned in a shivering way
and asked if I wanted their numbers. I said yes,
and took them. The officers present, Stewart and
Morgan, were the men.”
A guect of Helene said the officers merely asked
why she didn’t give Yorkey a receipt for his money.
Officer Morgan said Yorkey told them the jvotnan
had stolen $129. It was a bad place around the
Square, and he sent for Stewart to go with him to
investigate. When they went there and Yorkey said
it was for rent paid and he could not get a receipt,
he told him it was a civil matter, sue and get it
back.
Yorkey said he had the place since last'April, he
bought it off a man named Beemer. She had sued
for the rent, Beemer and him together. When it
was due he went up to pay her. He said " here’s
your money, give me a receipt.” She threw the
money in the drawer and would give no receipt,
and he sent for the officers and stated the case to
them. She would not give him or them satisfac
tion.

FIRES LAST MONTH.
The Fire Marshal on Tuesday sent a report to
President Van Cott, stating that during the past
month there had been 263 fires, and the losses
amounted to $402,000, and during the same month
last year there were 247 fires, the losses amounting
to $587,496.
INSPECTOR ESTERBROOK RESIGNS.
As all the daily papers have given the fullest par
ticulars regarding the resignation of Inspector Es
terbrook, wo can add nothing more, further than
that the vacancy will not be filled until the return
of Commissioner Puryoy, who has. gone South to
recuperate his health, for he has long been suffering
from malaria.
The following is Mr. Esterbrook’s letter of resig
nation :
New York, Feb, 3, 1885,
Honorable Board of Fire Commissioners :
Recent actions of the Board, as well as the notions
of individual members thereof, have convinced me
that my services are no longer desired. I could not
serve longer without feeling degraded. I therefore
res go the office of Inspector of Buildings, and here-
I wftJ l surrender the badge of office.
Respectfully, Wm. P. Esterbrook.
President Van Cott told the Dispatch reporter
that it would £e some time before the vacancy
would be filled.
DIED IN THE HARNESS.
Fireman James P. Smith, of Engine Company No.

years old, and had been a fireman for over two years.
He lived with bis aged father and mother, of whom 1
he was the sole support. He resided at No. '

madder on the Park Place side of the building, and,
balancing himself firmly, poured tho water into the
third story. Presently the strap broke, and the 1
hose, moved by the terrible strength of the water j
pouring through it, dashed wildly about like a snake. (
Smith tried hard to control tho hose, but could not <
do so.
The nozzle struck him in the head, and, losing j
his hold, be fell headlong to the ground, and when j
his comrades went to him they found he was dead.
He was taken to the station-house, and from there
he was conveyed to his home. ]

THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
Almost everything connected with the above As
sociation has been pretty much at a stand-still,
owing to the ball which is to come off at the Metro
politan Opera House this coming Tuesday evening.
The reception committee met last Friday night, and
made their final arrangements. The members of
the various committees were requested to be prompt
in their attendance at tho Opera House before nine
o’clock on the evening of the ball in order that it
may be opened sharp at ten.
The sub-committee appointed to wait upon Presi
dent-elect Cleveland, to invite his attendance at the
ball, had an audience with him on last Friday after
noon. In answer to their invitation he stated that
he had often heard of their organization and good
works, and he very much regretted that prior en
gagements would debar him from the pleasure of
being in attendance, and in conclusion wished
them every success.
The Washington excursionists, under the name
of the association, have held several meetings dur
ing the past week. They have decided to close thb
books at an early day, as the arrangements already
mad? ODjy provide for a certain Qumber of mem
bers, which caiiuof increased.
The election for the officers of the association for
the ensuing year, will take place on the fourth Fri
day of this month, and a snecial meeting has been
called for the 17th inst., at Clarendon Hall, for the
purpose of making nominations.
No one has yet been named to run against the
! present incumbent of the presidency. There has
j been some talk on the part of a few disgruntled
members to run a candidate against ex-chief Deck
er, but up to the present time they have not yet se
lected |the " victim.” The bone and sinew of the
( association are aware of the fact that but for ex-
Chief Decker there would not to-day be a Volunteer
i I Firemens’ Association in existence. The same can
also be said in regard to the firemens’ participation
in the Evacuation Day ceremonies. As the organi
zation is yet but in an incomplete state, he should
be allowed the honor of still further guiding it to a
prosperous career. As he has done the hard work,
we are in favor of giving him all the honor to which
he is entitled, and we believe our opinion is shared
in by nine-tenths of the members.
BROOKLYN FIRE NOTES.
EXPERIMENTS — CIVIL SERVICE RULES DE
FECTIVE—ACCIDENTS—COMMENTS—NEWS IN
GENERAL.
The recent experiment of substituting the use of
crude oil instead of coal, for the purpose of getting
up steam in fire engines, was fully illustrated at
the repair yard last week, in the presence of experts
and others. Chief Nevins seemed satisfied with the
result, although recommending another trial at a
designated point along the river front. The con
trivance does not, however, meet with the approval
of practical mechanics attached to this department.
The patentees of the new burner were at first com
pelled to use a surface covering of coal, and it is
absolutely necessary to keep up steam in some
form in order to render the new experiment availa
ble at all times, as it is built on the principle of an
injector. It is regretted by many that the inventor
of the hydro-carbon burner is, through lack of
funds, unable to practically illustrate the merits of
the product of his years of research in the interest
of economy to those who use steam as an adjunct
to their business. We would wish to be fair in this
matter, but, owing to our knowledge of the work
ing of both inventions, we are constrained, through
principle, to advocate the latter, which is the more
simple of the two, and better adapted to the present
needs of an apparently “economical department’”
The years of military training afforded our present
Commissioner in his early youth were not evidently
misspent. If tho latter considers that the details in
the Civil Service Law are imperfect, he is, in our es
timation, a competent person to judge, and should
he see fit to suggest any amendments thereto, we
trust that his advice may be heeded by those not in
a position to properly understand the requirements
necessary in a candidacy for a position of public

NEW YORK DISPATCH, FEBRUARY 8. 1885.
The injured members of Truck Company No. 4
are rapidly improving, and, it is reported, will be
soon again ready for duty.
The "boys” of the Eastern District have been ex
periencing lively times recently, owing to frequent
calls to duty at fires in that locality.
District Engineer Dale must have a sorry equine
appendage to his team, as his frequent runaway ac
cidents would seem to indicate. We are happy to
state, in this connection, that no injury save that
done to horse and wagon resulted from tho accident
of last week.
Dr. Henshaw, V. S., has been, wo are sorry to say,
confined to his residence for some days past owing 1
to a severe attack of rheumatism. It is sincerely g
hoped that his illness may prove to be only ten>
porary. F
Two new tenders are at present in the course o
construction, designed for use with the new engines
added to the Department.
The tender to Engine No. 9 has been almost en
tirely rebuilt, and will at once be restored to that
company. The new wheels with which she has
been supplied are fretted in accordance with a new
idea which, it is claimed, will facilitate horse-rail
road tracks. We doubt it, however.
Engine No. 20 was ordered to the shop for simple
repairs last week. Upon examination it was dis
covered that the rod on the forward running gear
of the engine was broken, necessitating more ex
tensive repairs than was at first deemed to be neces
sary.
The new invention of a plunger for use in con
nection with the machinery of engines is pro
nounced worthless.
The interest in the issue of the coming election
seems to be as intense as ever. The various candi
dates for position are anxiously awaiting the action '
or the Examining Board who, it is claimed, are act
ing rather tardily in the matter.
An old and respected fireman recently remarked to
the reporter, that the privilege granted to the mem
bers of the Civil Service Board in the matter of ap
pointments was ajust cause for complaint among the
older members of the force. In army and naval circles
tne captain of a ship or company selects his own
non-commissioned or petty officers, with the ap
proval of their respective commanders. Why, then,
should not Chief Nevins be permitted to select,
irom the men passing the physical examination,
Houi 0 ’ ln kis estimation would majie re-
bable and efficient firemen, with, of course, the ap.
proval of the Commissioner. It is claimed by many,
mat old and infirm members might with ease be
to companies where but little duty is re
allo*ing the younger men to enjoy more

Enquirer, will back a League club if one is or
ganized in that city in 1880,
grounds at Coney Island, where Sunday,
games will be played by the Brooklyn club, have a
seating capacity of 30,000.
McKinnon has agreed to play in Baltimore if he
can obtain his release from the New York League
club.
The Brooklyn club has advanced over $5,000 to
tho players they engaged from the Cleveland club.
For want of space we omitted our Baseball De
partment in our issue of Sunday, Feb. Ist.
Porter, of the Milwaukee Club, has signed a con-
the Brooklyn Club.
flie managers for the New York State League
Clubs have all been engaged.
The Louisviiles have engaged Geer to play second
base, and captain the team.
John Remsen is mentioned as a League umpire
for the coming season.
The Eastern League will be a thing of the past by
June Ist.
Burns, of the Chicago Club, has taken to playing

Ed Crane has been signed by the St. Louis League
Club.

The Virginia Club has engaged Battin.
Striking Proofs of the efficacy of
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters have been afforded and
published in the shape of testimonials from physi
cians and private individuals, who have tested its
value in cases of rheumatism. We are all aware of
the obstinate character of this complaint, and some
of us have witnessed its fatal termination when it
attacked the heart. To resist and foil its prelimi
nary attacks is, therefore, the part of wisdom. If
pains are felt in the joints or muscles after a wet
ting, its approach may not unreasonably be in
ferred. In tnat ease, a wincglassful of Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters now and then will be found a use
ful preventive measure. Persons exposed to rough
weather will find in the Bitters a reliable safeguard.
The medicine is also a reliable means of averting ma
larial ailments, and of overcoming dyspepsia, cqs
tiveness, nervousness, and inactivity of the kidneys
and bladder. Try its effect and satisfy yourself.

Oil has been removed. It has three
times the strength of Cocoa mixed

admirably adapted for invalids as
well as for persons in health.

•* By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which
govern the operations ot digestion and nutrition, and by
a careful application ot the fine properties of well-selected
Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a
delicately-flavored beverage which may save us many
heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judicious use ot such
articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built
up until strong enough to resist every tendency to dis
ease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around
us, ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We
may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well
fortified with pure blood and properly nourished frame.”
