-He has .not.ordered . yet,” said the
Inspector.
“1 haven’t stuff,”-said the officer.
A VERY. QUEER ARREST.
“Whitney again,” s.asd Clerk Peterson, reading
Hie charge of being in the saloon at Soventy
tirst street and Third avenue.
What hivvetf-ou to say to that ?’\asked the Com
in issioimr.
«1 told tho-roundsman,at. tiie time that I wont
info the water clo-ct. I loft a young man to cover
my post, but be didn t see the roundsman, who was
beir.ucd an < h-vated post. There was no other place
open. 1 have .a witness. .1 told, the .roundsman
what I was doing iia -.there.’*
■•At the time -stated I walked from Seventy-fifth
io Seventy-first street .and Third avaniie,” sad the
rGund.sm .n, “.and saw the officer and two citizens
conic onto! the liquor saloon. He said he bad been
in the water-closet. It seemed unnecessary to
take two citizens in .tho store- I tried the place,
and couldn’t get in; Ahey had locked. .the door.
When he knew I had made a complaint, he went
next day to court and got a warrant and arrested
thoiproprietor for violating .the Excise law, but he
was discharged.”
•• How long was he in there ?”
“ 1 was probably there two minutes before I saw
him come out. He then went across the street, on
bis post.”
•* Where were you standing when I camo o,ut of
the hquor store ?” asked the officer.
“ Behind one of the Elevated Railroad pillars;”
“ Standing up or lying down ?”.asked the officer.
•‘Standing up, sir,” said the roundsman, ,-smil
ing.
* 1 saw you when I came up, and I thought .you
were lying down.”
“ It wasn’t so.”
•• This young man I left to cover my .post,” said
the officer, calling up Citizen Moran.
Moran said the officer told him to cover his poet
and keep an eye on tiie roundsman while be -.went
in the water-closet. He was there a couple .of
minutes.
“ 1 merely wish to state,” said the roundsman,
“ that after being over the officer’s post twice there
was no one in sight, not even a dog sign. The
officer came out with these two citizens. Whether
they were the parties that went in with him I don’t
know; they went up the avenue and he* followed
me down, and asked me not to make a complaint.”
“ You saw the officer go in the store ?” asked the
Com missioaer.
“ Yes, sir,” said Moran.
“ And come out ?”
, “ Yes, sir. ’
“ These two men did not go in with him ?”
“ Yus, sir, they did,” said Mr. Moran.
“I saw the roundsman twenty minutes before
that; I didn’t think he would sneak back and
double bank me,” said the officer. 1
“ You have been before me several times,” said
Hie Commissioner, *• and there has not been a
reputable excuse in your behalf. This morning, in <
answer to another case, there was intentional,
deliberate falsehood on your part. I have seen ,
nothing in your career that has not been of the
same character.” (
Capt. Gunner said the officer made no report at
the desk that he had left his post on a call of ]
nature. When he made the arrest, after getting in
the place lor that purpose, he found a violation of j
the Excise Law, and next day made the complaint
against the proprietor, Brennan.
WHITNEY AGAIN, AND CORNERED.
This time ho was seen coming out of a livery ■
stable on his post where he had beon laying off. He {
said ho was in the water-closet.
The roundsman said he went over Whitney’s post c
before he commenced to time him. Then he went ,
twice, and the third time he found him coming out
of this livery-stable,
••Didn’t the proprietor tell you I was in the
water-closet?” asked Whitney.
” Yes, sir, but there is no water-closet in the ,
place,” was the roundsman’s rejoinder. |
SITTING.
Hanion, Twenty.third Precinct, was found sitting *
on a stone during his tour of patrol duty. He said
going to his relieving point his shoe lace became '
unfastened, and while tying it the roundsman came '
Vp. t
Roundsman Hurlburt said he came upon the 1
officer sitting; he asked what was the matter, and
got no reply. He saw no lacing of shoes. 11

DISORDERLY. a

Second avenue and Sixty-second street, Ks said he d
WSk called in to remove a disorderly in the place.
He went in the side door, the roundsman the front v
door. f
“ Coming along.’'.said Roundsman Bach, •• I knew 8
be had a liking for this store, and went in and a
found him at the bar. There was a poor bum at c
the stove nursing bls shins. There was no trou- 1
Lie.” 11
“ Postpone this case and I’ll prove I was called in.
Pjd yon eee me?” c
*~‘ ; I saw you standing at the bar?”
“I was three feet from h i door, investigating.” 8
“When you saw me yoi looked around and
stood?” D
“ I always stand my ground,” said Clarkin. v
CLARKIN AGAIN—“NOT ANOTHER MUG LIKE “
HIS IN THE CITY. J
The officer is six feet four, and once seen and a
hoard to speak, could hardly be mistaken. This
charge was kicking two book, or rather picture, c
peddlers down stairs. He claimed to know nothing t
ol the assault; he was in bed, heard the racket, and ti
did not get out of bed. But, from his own state- t;
went, tiie supposition is that he did kick them h
down stairs, supposing they were sneak thieves, e
but was too lazy to run them in.
Leopold Baer said he wont in the building to sell si
his pictures. He was a traveling salesman and is
book canvasser. Ho knocked at the door; the offi t;
cor came to it, undressed, and with clenched fist, b
without warning, he went tumbling in a heap e
down stairs. When he got up, he was glad to leave I
without his pictures. The officer followed him is
downstairs, took him by the nape of the neck and
the seat of honor, and after giving him one, two, G
three swings, to give headway, pitched him like a n
log out in the street. This was in the afternoon, g
about half-past one.” tl
“1 heard that three men entered the b
said Clarkin, “and they frightened two old ladies b
on the second floor. But 1 don’t know; I was in u
bed.”
“That’s the man,” said Baer. si
“There have been a lot of sneak thieves prowling I
about the house, but this time I was in bed. How d
do you know it was me ?”
“ There isn’t another man as big and as ugly on n
the force. I couldn’t be mistaken,” said the book t<
agent. c
“ How do you know it was me ?” roared the of- n
ficer. “By my face?”
“There isn’t another mug like it in the city,”
Baid the citizen.
Eelix Hulze, a brother peddler, swore to the iden
tity of Clarkin, who again swore he was in bed at
the time, g
KEEGAN’S CUP OF COFFEE. a
. t
Keegan was found in the restaurant, No. 881 v
Broadway, seated, eating. f<
“ I was in there,” said the officer. “ I went to the 1
water-closet. I had cramps. The proprietor said a p
cup of coffee will do you good. I lilted the cup and t
stood drinking it when the roundsman entered.”
•’Passing along the avenue,” said Chapman, “I p
looked in the place and saw him seated at a table in i;
the back part of the room. As soon as he saw DIQ
be jumped up and began to adjust his pants.” I
CHICKEN thieves.
Murray, of the Thirtieth Precinct, couldn’t be V
found by his roundsman for a.n hour.
Murray said that on that four the precinct was e
infested with aa army nf chicken thieves. It was a "
great precinct for chickens, and that night almost ?
every hencoop had been raided. Seeing everything *
was secure he went to the station-house to the wa” .
ter-closet. I
WHO IS TO BE BELIEVED ? R
s
Moran, of the Fifth Precinct, was found riding on a
a car by Roundsman Londrigan.
“Not guilty,” Moran said. “ I want the rounds
man to prove his case.”
“Certainly,” said the Commissioner.
Londrigan said he stood on the corner of Cham- °
hers street and West Broadway at three o’clock; he e
saw the officer on the opposite corner, who looked C
to College Place, down Broadway, and when he saw
the car coming, the officer jumped on it, opened the
door and spoke to the conductor. f
The roundsman, cross-examined, said he had
known the officer three years; made one
against him, and that was dismissed; tie was not
Moran’s roundsman, but ho thought it his duty to ?
make the complaint.
The officer said that on the morning in question J J
the conductor called him on the car to put a man 1
Off the platform who refused to pay his fare. The ?
conductor pushed him off, but he clung to the car. J
The officer only rode on the cor to protect the con
ductor in ejecting the passenger. rt
Wm. Wade, the conductor, said the passenger
wouldn't pay his tare. He told him the cars were , s
run ou tho cash principle. When they got to Cham
bers M eet be called on the officer at the corner and i
he came at his call and stopped on the car till the i
man was put off.
All this happened and the roundsman did not see I
it, although it occurred before his eyes.
CHARGE SECOND.
Those that have passed the corner of Chambers .
street into West Broadway, must have noticed a C
news Lox at the foot ot the elevated railroad stairs, s
In tnis box Moran was charged with coopin' him-
SPii in at an early hour of the morning, to shirk
duty. To get in the box one has to jump over the
iron railing lacing the Cosmopolitan Hotel.
“I was in there,” said Moran. “I found the
door of the news stand unlocked.” He had to get
over the railings to try it. •• I waited around to see
il it was opened by thieves. Then I went in to see
if they would come back. I saw nobody till I saw 5
the roundsman come along and I came out. I told t
him 1 had found it op. u. He asked why [ did not
rap for help. I gave the excuse I give you.”
That was the officer’s story.
This is the roundsman s version.
“ At twenty minutes after three o’clock A. M.
down between Reade and Chambers streets in the
square I saw this officer standing in the same place
exc tedly around. I thought there was
AwndthiDg wrong. He jumped over the railing and l
went into the news stand, I waited to seo what
he was going to do. There was a door two feet high
that he had to go under. When he wont in 1 took my
watch out to time him. After waiting a while I went
up to the window and asked if he was going to stop
. there till six o’clock. Ho looked through the glass
and made no answer. I said come out. He came.”
V “Didn't you hear that this stand had been
broken into before ?” asked counsel.
R “ No.” said the roundsman. “ but I know that
'• two officers were taken out ol there under similar
circumstances.”
' “My intentions were good,” said the officer. “I
- wanted to catch tho thieves. This charge is only
•» spleen.”
- “if an officer finds a place open, it is his duty not
w to enter it until ho has rapped for assistance,” said
* the roundsman. “11 he had rapped, I was .near him
t and would have been there.”
q “I was laying to catch the thief,” said the-officer.
“The place was warmed by the steam from the
hotel,” said the roundsman.
AN Ax'OLOGY SATISFACTORY FOR A SLAPPED
FACE.
When the case of Lambrech was called, David A.
Barry, the complainant, whose face had been slap-
• ped by the officer, who didn’t arrest him, begged to
be allowed not to press tho charge, as the officer had
apologized.
“No,” said the Commissioner. “It isn’t a com
-0 plaint so far as you are concerned, but discipline
e and to get good conduct from the officer, and for
j that reason I shall hear it.”
“He apologized, and I pledged myself not to (prose
a cute,” said Mr. Lambrech.
“So far as you are concerned, you are relieved
from obligation. It is not you, but the department,
j Go on.”
The young gentleman then went on to that he
w had been to a reception in Fourteenth street, and
was accompanying a young lady home. They had
been dancing in the evening, and when they got out
j on the street he sat down on a florist’s platform,
and it gave way, and he got a tumble. He con
-3 tinned on to Sixth avenue, and he met this officer,
who came up and slapped his face. He hardlyre
membered wbat the officer said, ho felt so bad being
insulted before the lady. Perhaps the officer was
provoked, and thought it was a malicious action on
y his part. He permitted him to escort the lady to
- her residence. Next day be met tho officer, and
thought better, after ho apologized.
The officer had nothing to say.
“Be sure and keep your temper,” said the Com
t missionor, addressing the officer. “Unfortunately,
because you wear the uniform, you have mado a
3 groat many mistakes, and some of them may lose
) you your appointment. I put you on your guard.”
‘ PLAIN WORDS TO CITIZEN AND OFFICER.
L Ward Detective Baer, of the Tenth Precinct, was
( arraigned to answer a charge made by Citizen Louis
, L. Laurens. This was the second session at which
the complainant had failed to appear and prosecute.
The officer’s counsel asked tho case to be dismissed,
the complainant on two occasions failing to appear
and prosecute.
“No,” replied Gen. Porter, “In this case there is
more than a mere officer interested. If citizens
choose to come and make complaints, and don’t
come to punish, they thus throw a stigma on the
Police Department, and so far as I am able, and I am
willing to, I shall take certain steps to bring him
(the complainant) before the Court for contempt,
not attending to this business, so far as the pres
ence of that witness here. There are things due
not merely the department and the accused to con
sider, the public, and the accused should be made
to clear himself. I shall make every effort to have
this complainant present here, or punished for con
tempt. So far as the accused is concerned, he may
become perfectly free, but so far us the department
is concerned the stigma must be removed. If the
charge is false, it should be shown to us. For that
reason I adjourn without date.”
This means that a subposna will issue from the
Supreme Court. If disobeyed, Mr. Laurens will be
arrested for contempt of Court, which moans fine
and imprisonment.
OUR ni« mRfIKJT.
TBIALS AND JUDGMENTS—SICK
JFIKEMEN, ETC.
Tke Board of Fire Commissioners met for the
last lime for tho year 1835, on Wednesday and
Thursday mornings last, with President Purroy in
the chair.
The first business transacted was the
TRIALS.
The following were the trials of the session, and
the judgments rendered on the same:
NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Fireman Daniel Manix, of Engine Company No.
44, was charged with not following the “tender”
while he was driving the horses of the engine, in
answering an alarm of fire on December 26.
He pleaded guilty and said, “the nigh horse fell
down, and when he got up I saw a wagon ahead of
•me, and I made a mistake and followed it instead of
the tender.
He was found guilty, and was ordered to be
reprimanded.
A SERIES OF CHARGES.
Fireman Timothy Sullivan, of Engine Company
No. 8, had the following charges preferred against
lum:-First—With leaving his work, while cleaning
the tender, unfinished, and going up stairs without
pennissiod. on December 2bth. Second—When or
dered by Assistant Foreman Ryan to resume bis
work on the tendea. he said: “I did clean the tender
and I will not clean it again.” Third—When cau
tioned by the assistant foreman not to disobey his
orders, he said: You make a charge; I dare you
to, and if it costs me one thousand dollars I will ’
put you out of the department, and I never under
took a job I did not accomplish.”
AJI ol these offenses were committed on December <
20th, He pleaded guilty to all of the charges. i
Assistant Foreman Ryan testified; “I left Sulli- 1
van at work on tho tender; a lew moments after
ward he went up stairs, ami I asked him what was <
the matter; he said he was sick. I asked him why <
he did not report sick, then. I then ordered him to a
godown stairs aud finish his work; he Ibon went
down stairs io clean up the tender with a chamois
skin, and he had a pail of water with him. I told 1
him not to use the chamois skin, but the sponge J
as there was a grent deal of mud on the tender He
then said he had cleaned th§ tender, and would not <
do it again,”
-.‘.reman John Brady testified: “Sullivan and I
went to work on the tender. Sullivan did not re
fuse to do his work when he was ordered by the as
sistant foreman. Ho did not, in my bearing, use a
anyjbadjlanguage. I heard him say something|to the t
captain about SI,OOO. Ho said: • I will spend SI,OOO f
to get even—to get square with the assistant fore- I 6
man.’" 8
Ex-Senator Grady here appeared as Sullivan’s c
counsel. t
Witness resumed: • I distinctly heard Sullivan say v
something about SI,OOO and getting even.”
Fireman Henry Allright testified: “Sullivan did r
not refuse to do his work. I heard hint say be r
would spend SI,OOO. That was all I heard. He a
mumbled something which I could not under
stand. Sulliyan wa? not sick. The language used
by Sullivan to the Assistant foreman wa& respectful
as far as I could hear.” c
Fireman Robert H. Levins testified : “I was busy r
cleaning the horses, and Sullivan camo around with v
the chamois skin and a pail of water to clean the 1
tender. The assistant foreman spoke to the cap- E
tain and they had some conversation together. I
heard no disrespectful language used by Sullivan, t
either to the captain or to the assistant foreman.” E
Captain John Welch testified: “Outside ot ‘hear- J
say,’ I know nothing more about this matter than t
is contained in the charges. When I saw aud spoke 1
to Sullivan, his language was respectful. He has 8
been in the company for some time, and he is gen- t
erally very loud and boisterous in his manner, and 0
I have had to frequently reprimand him lor it. He
is generally very respectful to me.” f
Assistant Foreman Ryan (recalled by ex-Sonator J
Grady) said “there was no complaint made by the v
men who were cleaning the apparatus.. I am on r
good terms with Sullivan and the other members of 1
the company. Sullivan talked so loud that he could c
be heard twenty feet away. There is no bad feeling
between Sullivan and myself. He has to be followed
up very close to be kept doing his work.”
Sullivan then, in his own behalf, said: “Theas- c r
sistant foreman told me to clean the tender. I said ,
I had done so. Ryan told the captain that I had J
disobeyed his (Ryan’s) orders. I did not say that I ’
would give $1 000 to get Ryan out of the depart
menf, but I did say to myself I would give SI,OOO fi
to get out of the business, if I could get a job in the “
ciiy, so as to get rid of Ryan’s dogging me. I was 1
nor, sick, nor did I vomit.”
Sullivan was then fined ten days’ pay. 6
KOBE NEGLECT OF DUTY. J
Engineer George Shaw, of Engine Company No. (
45, was charged with not properly running the en- c
gine, and also with telling Foreman Barry that the c
.apparatus was out of order and unfit for service, t
tnus causing it to be sent to tRe repair shops, i
where, upon a trial being had, the apparatus was f
found to be in good condition and fit for service. C
This occurred while the company wore engaged in I
pumping water from tho cellar of their new quar*
ters, in Tremont avenuo, on December 10th.
He pleaded guilty, and said : “While we were f
pumping out the cellar the engine was at first do- «
ing very well 4 but all of a sudden it stopped. ?
“The captain asked me whal was the matter, and 1
I said I did not know at the tiftie.
"The Captain then said he would it out of ser- c
vice, and I said ‘Yes, I would/ u 1
Foreman James Barry testified :
“While we wore pumping oul the cellar tH” I •
gine got alCiid very well lor a time, but it suddenly 1
stepped and did not work at all. I looked all over '
the apparatus, but I could not find out where the 4
trouble was. It seemed to be in the cylinder or the *
pumps, but they were all right. I then put the en- c
gine out of service and had it sent to the repair
shops, where it was found that the apparatus was i
all right.” j
Sentence was suspended. 1

officers aud men in the Department.
’ THE PARNELL FUND.
j President Purroy ordered the following letter,
which fully explains itself, to be forwarded :
New York, December 30th, 1835.
’ Hon. Edivard J 3. ou>n :
Dear Judge—When recently you applied for an or
der permitting-the uniformed force to engage in the
, collection of contributions for the “Parnell Fund,”
’ the Fire Commissioners were obliged reluctantly to
( refuse your application, for the reason that to have
( granted it would Rave been to violate a well-consid
l ered rule of the Department, to the strict enforce
ment of which there have been of late years no ex
ceptions.
At .the same time, the Fire Commissioners had
not. nor have they now, any objections to members
of the uniformed force contributing, as individ
} uals, and entirely of their otvn free will, to any-cause
> which m y seem to them deserving.
As a slight furtherance of the worthy cause in
which you are so zealously engaged, and in whose
i success all friends of free government are interest
i ed, we (Messrs. Croker, Smith aud myself) beg you
to accept the enclosed check for SIOO.
Yours truly, Henry D. Purroy.
RETIRED FROM ACTIVE DUTY.
By resolution adopted, Firemen John Conway, of
Engine Company No. 44; William Jackson, of En
gine Company No. 26, .and Engineer George Levins,
of Engine Company No. 41, by reason of physical
disability to perform active service, were all order
ed on light duty |n tho future.
THE PAY-ROLL.
The sum of $120,116.50 will be paid for all ex
penses of the Department for 'the month of De
cember.
A GALLANT RESCUE.
On last Thursday afternoon, ex-Alderman Michael
Duffy rescued from certain death Mrs. Mary Davies
and her infant daughter at the burning of the
building No. 1,037 Lexington avenue.
While the woman and her child were at the rear
window trying to get away from the suffocating
smoke, the ex-Alderman hearing their cries for help
jumped on a shed, where he reached the fire-escape
ladder, and climbing up, carried mother and child
in safety to the ground.
Mr. Duffy was a member of Hook and Ladder
Company No. 16, of tho old Volunteer Fire Depart
ment.
THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
A letter was received last week from John Baulch,
Chief or the Fire Department at Fortress Mon
roe, inclosing his Mutual Aid dues, and also the
money lor ball tickets. Just like you, John. We
remember you as a member of Engine Company
No. 13, and also an Assistant Engineer in this city
in the days of “auld lang syne,” and we never
found you wanting when good work was to be
done. ,
The ball committee have held several meetings
during the week. They feel very much encouraged
by the interest that has been shown in this true
work ot benevolence by the members and friends of
the Association. Letters from out-of-town mem
bers were received inclosing money for tickets and
boxes, saying that, although they were unable to
be present, yet they wanted to have a band in, and
concluded by making their investment us a dona
tion to help along the charitable effort.
The floor committee have held several meetings,
and have made all arrangements that they deemed
were necessary in order to secure the comfort of
their guests. And to set at rest the stories that they
were to appear in red shirts cowhide boots, they
adopted the full evening dress as the standard for
the occasion. This, therefore, does away with the
stor es that some of their “friends” bad so pleasant
ly circulated about them. In order that something
out of the usual routine of things should occur,
they have arranged with a celebrated decorator for
a surprise to those of their friends who may favor
them with their presence on the night of the ball,
which is to take place this coming Tuesday, the sth
inst., at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The committee request all those members having
tickets, that have not yet beon settled lor, to please
make a return before the night of the ball.
Many hundreds of the members of,the Associa
tion, accompanied by their families, celebrated
New Year’s Eve by listening to the Trinity chimes.
Especial interest was added to the pleasure on ac
count of the new fire song which was rung out by
Mr. A. Meis'abn, Jr., by the kind permission of the
Rev. Dr. Dix. The song was composed by Mr. Peter
of Alission f ; ‘Uie. He was a member of the i
Old Department, and is also a member of the Asso
elation. The music is to be played at the ball, being 1
accompanied vocally by the members.
BROOKLYN POLICE MATTERS .
COMING CHANGES — RESIGNATIONS — TRIALS,
ETC.
THE CAUSE OF UNEASINESS.
Considerable uneasiness appears to be felt in and
about headquarters concerning probable changes in
the uniformed force. Just what action may betaken
in the matter solely depends of course upon who «
shall receive the appointment as Police Commis
sioner. The admirable manner in which the affairs
of the Department have been thus far conducted
under Mr. Partridge’s administration, has attracted
universal attention, and it is to be hoped that in i
the event of a change being made these headquarters
may be graced by the p esenceof those who may
proveto be as accommodating and gentlemanly as J
the present incumbents.
TRIALS OF THE WEEK.
The number of delinquents was last wees in
creased by one over that ol the week previous. Eleven
rather nervous-appearing guardians of the peace |
were summoned before the tribunal of justice on
Tuesday last, and falteringly approached the Com- ’
missioner.
Brown, of Eighth Sub-Precinct, ineffectually tried
to explain an absence of two hours and forty |
minutes from reserve roll call on the 25th ult. j
To render matters worse, if possible, Charlie at
tempted the school-boy trick of sneaking over the
fence and claiming to have been present while being
searched for. It was a lame excuse, however, in
this instance, and Brown was sentenced to a loss of
one day’s pay.
Lyons, of the Sixth Sub-Precinct, disappeared 1
from view while on patrol on the 20th ult.
Meanwhile Sergeant Hamilton had made kindling '
wood of his night stick in the vain hope of finally 1
rapping up the missing Pafcricius. Something must j
have gone wrong, as the story of the stick was dis
credited, and Lyons was adjudged not guilty.
Sullivan, of the Sixteenth Precinct, although one
of the nattiest members of the force, should have a 1
care in future. Jimmie has already forfeited enough !
ol his richly earned pay to cause him to take what is -
termed in the vernacular “a tumble.” For patron- J
izing a bootblack while on duty on the 21st ult., t
Sullivan was fined a loss of one day’s pay. The
shine wi s a deadhead, ot course, although Jimmie 1
avers “that the ‘shiners* he loses would make two I
pairs of shoes-Dis.”—Ethiopia.
Rhattigan, of the Fifteenth Precinct, although a
successful in passing the physical examination be
fore appointment to the force, is evidently afflicted
with myopia. Alter two o clock in the morning
Chris is said to require a pair of opera glasses in
order to distinguish the difference between the sub- ’
dued light in an undertaker’s establishment and
that in which individuals assemble to place another
nail in their coffin. On the 23d ult. Rhattigan
failed to see a light in a barroom at 2:40 A. M.
Owing, no doubt, to his affliction, ho was declared
not guilty, r . c
Quinn, Of the Twelfth Precinct, boarded a horse- V
car while hurrying toward bis relieving point on e
the 12th inst. {Sergeant Velsor not approving of
SP.Vh conduct on tne part of a patrolman, reported
the ease-loving Robert, who received a reprimand.
Nelson, of the Eleventh Precinct, failed to dis
cover the presence of burglars upon his beat at
midnight on the 20th ult. He was further charged -
by Capta n Ueiliy with neglecting to arrest the
. A ® N®1«»» was unaware pf the presence of
the latter, how he could possibly effect their arrest
would seem to be a conundrum. It was shown, c
•however, that the safe attacked in this instance was a
in plain Right ot passers-by. Hence the offending £
officer will forfeit one day’s pay.
Moor-, of the Fifth I reclnct, must have been por- *
ing over the works of his poetical namesake before ?
going on post on the 20th ult. If he did not “fill high v
the brimming cup,” he evidently drained the gob
let to such an ext«nt as to cause him to absent him
self from his relieving point, and to later on appear
at the station bouse in an intoxicated condition.
He was fined a loss of six days’pay. Look not upon [
the wine when it is red-eye. -
Walker, of the Fourth Precinct, could not walk-er J
chalk line on the morning of the 25th ult. In fact,
Rob. was so completely knocked out by the “old
stuff” as to cause him to gravitate toward mother *
earth. While in a recumbent position, he utiracted c
the attention ot pedestrians on Myrtle avenue.
Roundsman Raynor, accompanied by Patrolman (
Duffy and 1 oorman Butler, carried the unfortunate J
officer to the station house, where he was placed in -
a ceil. Walker was leniently dealt with on his trial,
and was simply sentenced to a Joss of ten days’
M xwell, of the Third Precinct was absent from r
P 1 st me hour and five m nutes on the 20th ult.

f the missing patrolman, reported the latter,who was
s reprimanded.
3 . Marshall, of the First Precinct, was found off post
in the cosey seclusion of the waiting room of the
r Dwinnell house on the morning of the 26th nit.
Tor his absence from duty he was reported by
Roundsman White and will suffer a loss of one day’s
o pay.
i SICK.
! -The number of sick members of the force up to
the present writing is as follows: Sergeants, 5;
patrolmen, 37, doormen, 2, roundsmen, 3, and de
tectives, 2; making a total of 49. None of the cases
i as reported are of a serious nature.
) RESIGNATIONS.
Uncle Dan’l Applegate, whose familiar counte
nance has lor years graced the entrance to the
leading theatre of Brooklyn, has tendered his
1 resignation, which has been accepted.
John Lewis, patrolman of the Third Precinct, has
likewise resigned from the force, and will receive
; an annual pension of SSOO. Mr. Lewis was a mem
ber of the Department for a period of more than
- twenty years.
SERVED HIM RIGHT.
s Ex-Policeman Kennedy, whoso dastardly conduct
7 toward a young girl was made apparent in this
column some time ago, was last week righteously
> sentenced to three years and a half in the Peniten
r tiary. Served him right appears to be the public
opinion.
A HERO OF THE HOUR.
Gallagher, of the Seventh Precinct, is the hero of
I the hour in police circles. The residents of the
“ wick *’ should be proud of one who is not only a
policeman, but who has given evidence of bravery
in life-saving second to none afforded in fire annals.
Emprovemejsts in Time.
; ALONG THE LINE.
’ new Winter time table of the New York, Lake
} Erie and Western Railroad, which takes effect to
day, seems to be a new departure from the old-time
. method of lessening during the Winter the train
service arranged lor Summer travel; and this ap-
• nt GS m° r ® particularly to the train service between
hew York and points within convenient reach for
[ permanent suburban residences than to the through
j train service, although this latter named service
_ has, as well, been more conveniently provided for
s by the new schedule than formerly. We note par
ticularly that the time of Train No. 1 (day express),
t leaving New York at 9A. M., is shortened so that it
arrives in Buffalo at 10 P. M.—twenty minutes ear-
. Her than formerly; that Train No. 9 (Buffalo and
( Niagara Falls Limited), leaving New York daily at 7
P. M., now arrives in Buffalo at 7:30 A. M.—a conve
nient breakfast hour; Train No. 29 (Through Ac
commodation), leaving New York at 8:30 P. M., will
now have Pullman sleeping coaches from New York
’ to Hornellsville, This is a most convenient arrange
ment for passengers to Binghamton, Owego, Elmi
ra, etc., etc., as well as for passengers to the local
stations where the through express trains do not
stop, as it insures to them a comfortable night's
rest and arrival at their destination at a reasonable
hour in the morning, instead of having to get up,
as formerly, before daylight.
Train 9 (Delaware Valley Express, West bound)
and Train 30 (Southern Tier Express, East bound),
which have not heretofore been provided with
drawing-room coaches, are now equipped with the
most luxurious drawing-room coaches built by the
Pullman Company. During the early Spring this
company saw the necessity of providing a more
convenient train service for its rapidly growing
suburban travel, and its time schedule for the past
season was a model of convenience, and was the
means of inducing so many people to locate on its
line, that it was deemed necessary not only to con
tinue this schedule, but to increase its facilities
during the coming Winter.
Without particularizing, we note increased train
service for Newark, Paterson, and points within a
radius of forty miles from New York, also the quick
ening ot time of several local trains between New
York and those comfortable and convenient places
for suburban homes in the territory between Pater
son and Suffern, including Ridgewood, Hohokus,
and Allandale.
Important.—When you visit or leave
New York city, save baggage, expressage, and $3
carriage hire, and stop at the Grand Union Hotel,
opposite Grand Central Depot. 600 elegant rooms,
fitted up at a cost of one million dollars, $1 and up
ward per day. European Plan. Elevator. Restau
rant supplied with the best. Horse cars, stages and
elevated railroad to all depots. Families can live
better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than
at any other first-class hotel in the city.
The National Complaint. —Dyspep
sia is the national complaint. Almost every other
man or woman you meet has it, and the result is
that the number of pseudo-remedies for it is as nu
merous as Pharaoh’s host. They are for the most
part worthless. There is, however, a searching
eradicant of this distressing and obdurate malady"
one whose genuine merits iong since raised it to a
foremost place among the staple medicines of Am
erica. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters extirpates dys
pepsia with greater certainty and promptitude than
any known remedy, and is a most genial invigorant,
appetizer and aid to secretion, These are not empty
assertions, as thousands of our countrymen and
women who have experienced its effects are aware,
but are backed up by irrefragable proofs repeatedly
laid before the public. The Bitters also promote a
regular habit of body and give a healthful stimulus
to the urinary organs.
