BEFORE COMMISSIONER FRENCH. THEY DID SOT SEE CLUBBING. Citizen Charles H. Wilson, residing at No. 317 East Eiity-ninth street, a mason, charged Sergeant Lin den with striking him several blows on the head ;nd failing to arrest him. Mr. Wilson said this oc curred on election afternoon. Alter watching the scaffolding on a building fo see that it was not torn down and made a bonfire of, he stepped .nto a drug store to get a cholera mixture. He had just got it, when the sergeant says, “What do you want ? what arc you here for, anyhow?’’ and shoved him out. “Where was this?’’ “Filty-ainth street and Third avenue. Then, when he got me out, he beat me like a dog half a dozen times. I went in alone. I never knew the officer or spoke to him. Outside the store there was a crowd, but I did not know the cause of it. I saw Mr. Mead, the druggist, and his clerk and I think there was somebody on the floor. I was thereabout two minutes.” Mr. Garret Mead, said he, was in the drug store when Wilson entered. His janitor sent him to the drug store to see it he could recognize the man that was stabbed. The sergeant, as soon as he came in, said, "Get out of here.” He pushed him (Wilson) out and clubbed him. " How many times did you come in the store?” asked the sergeant. ••Once. You threw mo out, too.” “ Didn’t I order you out ?” •• Yes, sir; and at the same time you fired me out. I did not refuse to go.” The sergeant s.-.id there was a man in the drug store who had a deep gash in the breast. He or dered all out of the store, and sent foranambu. lance. Surgeon Shaw said he saw the sergeant shove Wil son out. Two officers swore they saw Wilson shoved out, but did not see him clubbed. A STENOGRAPHER LEARNS LONG HAND. Thomas F. McGlynn, stenographer, residing at No. 152 East Sixtieth street, charged Officer Jones, of the Twenty-eighth Precinct, with clubbing him and making a false charge after arresting him. The officer is a recent appointment. Mr. McGlynn said himself and his brother were going down Third avenue. At Seventy-seventh street they intended to go behind a pile of bricks, but didn’t, although it was dark, seeing somebody coming. The officer came up and said, “ Get along; go in a saloon. The officer came behind him, and pushed him a hundred feet. He told the officer they were not doing anything wrong. The officer then hauled off and hit him on the side of the head, and Baid: "G—d d—n you ! I’ll take you in anyhow 1” and then tapped lor assistance. He begged to be taken in a car, as he was in his own neighborhood where he was known, and was sick. The officer said: “No; G—d d—n you; I’ll make a holy show of yon I” Joseph L. McGlynn said his brother’s statement was entirely true. The officer kept abusing them all the way, making a show of them, pushing and. shoving them along like corner loafers. Citizen Bernheimer said he saw the officer come behind the young men and take hold of them, turned them around and pushed them. Mr. Mc- Glynn asked what he was doing that for. The officer said, “Go on, go on.” They said they had not done anything. Finally the officer pulled oil his glove and hit these young men, and took them to the station-house. At the station-house the officer made the charge of indecent exposure. He saw none, and he was close by them. Sergeant Linden said the charge against one of the brother’s was interfering with the officer, the other drunk and disorderly and exposing his per son. He was partly drunk. One of his friends said they had four glasses of beer. Mr. H. W. Benedict said they had three glasses of beer during the afternoon, they were perfectly aober. The officer said when he came up to them and asked them what they were doing, complainant asked him what the his business was, he could not make him go. Mr. McGlynn said he never used profane language. What the officer said was false. ARRESTED AT SUPPER. Salvino Torina, of No. 11l Mulberry street, said while sitting at supper Officer Butterly came in and arrested him, took him a short distance and de manded fifty cents; but he did not get it, and then released him. The officer said his accuser kept a dive and sold stale beer to other dives. This was Sunday even ing. Seven or eight bootblacks were in Mulberry street kicking empty tomato cans. He remonstrated with them and they ran up this alley and he went in this man’s house. He took him outside. After taking him in the street he made up his mind he was not one of the gang and let him go. He never said a word about fifty cents. JOYCE THINKS MAGIN A PERJURER. Michael Joyce, a cripple, charged Officer Magin with knocking him down in the liquor store at No. IVO Broad street. Michael said on the 18th ult., at 7:45 A. M., ho was standing in this liquor saloon. Magin was in there •with a man and the party asked him to have a "smile.” There was another "round” asked for and tbo barkeeper refused to give to Magin’s friend. He said so, too, and Magin told him he was no good. He said he was as good as the officer. Then Magin said if it was not for the barkeeper, he would put a head on him. He dared him and was knocked down. When Magin heard he was going to make a complaint, he said it was ■wrong to make a complaint against a friend. Joyce told him it didn’t show friendship to knock a man down in a bar-room. He then said he would get square with him unless the complaint was withdrawn. "Didn’t you attempt to strike me with your cane ?” said the officer. “ No.” The officer said he made a blow at him with his cane, and he fell. They had some words; he was Blurred, and ho told Joyce he needn’t wink behind bis back. Everybody that knew Joyce knew he was no good. Then he made a rap at him with his cane, and he fell on the breadth of his back. He never touched the man’s clothes in his life. John Whitney, the bartender, said he stepped in between them. Joyce lost his prop and fell. He did not see him struck. Joyce said both the officer and the barkeeper per jured themselves. The barkeeper dare not tell the truth or the officer’ would catch him violating the Excise law. HIS LAST DRINK. Baker, of the Twenty-first Precinct, found in the auditorium of the theatre, was ordered by Rounds man Farley, outside. At first he refused, then left, but acted in a boisterous manner. He said he sup posed there was but one officer inside; there should be two. The roundsman happened to be there and ordered him out on the sidewalk. Beginning the New Year he said he would try and commence with a belter record. "Was there any evidence that he had been drink ing ?” “ Yes, sir; he had been drinking to all appear ances.” ••I have talked to you before about drinking,” Baid the Commissioner. “This will be the last drink,” said Baker. " Baker again,” said the clerk. The charge was failing to be found on post. He said he was in Bellevue Hospital—it was the only place he could go to. SITTING ON A RAIL. Balky was off his post, on a railroad platform, sit ting on a rail. He said he was called up by the gate man to put a man out who was under the influence of liquor. " What has that to do with sitting ?” "I was only leaning.” "His feet were six inches from the ground,” said tthe roundsman. " There’s a great deal of trouble up there,” said ibe officer. "Sit down alter duty,” remarked the Commis sioner. THE BLOW JUSTIFIED. Level, of .the Twelfth Precinct, struck A prisoner while itaking .him to the station-house. Captain Hooker «aid the officer made the statement himself. The man arrested was a thief. The officer said ho arrested the man for highway robbery. If he hadn’t used his club he would have got hurt himself. WON’T FEEL WELL PAY DAY. Gibson,-of the Eighth Precinct, admitted being in a liquor-saloon, corner of Grand and Wooster sts. Trying the door, he found it open and the lights turned down. He rapped, and the man camo from the water-closet. The roundsman said .he saw the officer walk up to the place and go in. He crossed the street and called him out- " What did,he say ?*’ ” I asked what he was doing in there. He said he did not feel very good and came out.” “ Why did you make the remark that you did not feel very well ?” , “ I don’t know.” WHY LATE AT ROLL-CALL. Bradley, of the Eighteenth Precinct, was absent from return roll-call at 12:20. ‘ He said it was occasioned by being on police duty. ' Going to his relieving point at 12 o’clock, a lady came up to him and said he was wanted at No. 419 ; East Seventeenth street. As he entered the room he asked what was the matter. She said a boaa’der camo in drunk, and broke doors, windows and struck her. When the boarder heard the officer coming he escaped. He searched the hall and yard ] for him. Then he went to his relieving point. “He made a statement that he had been in the 1 same house at 11 o'clock,” said the sergeant. *• I was there twic<” said the officer. " But then 1 I saw no breach of the peace.” 1 Two old ladies corroborated his statement. t HIS SUSPENDERS "BURST.” ( Found in the United States Hotel, Kane said his » suspenders burst, and he went in to fix them. “He told me he went in to get a drink of water ” I fiaid.Uie roundsman. SEVEN TIMES OVER THE POST. The roundsman went seven time over Seymour’s post before he found him. He said he was taken Bick with chills. “ A robust fellow like you just started as a police man,” remarked the Commissioner. The Parent of Insomnia. —The parent 1 of in«omnia.<w wakefulness is in nine cases out of teu » ilyspoplie stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion* interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the promi. nent symptoms of a weak state of the gastric or gans is a dlaturbauM of the great nerve entrepot the brain.

SICK FIREMEN- A LARGE BATCH • OF TRANSFERS — THE ALARM > BOXES, Etc. j The Board of Fire Commissioners met in regular weekly session on last Wednesday morning, and re ■ ceived a communication from the medical officers 5 stating that there were now in the department » thirty-eight 5 SICK AND INJURED ' officers and men, but that none of the cases were of > au immediate serious character.

There were no trials of any negligent or delin quent officers or men. THE DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR. In his Annual Message to the Common Council on Monday last, in referring to our noble Depart ment, Mayor Grace said: “ The" early part of the year was exceptionally notable for the increase both in the number of fires and in the average estimated loss per fire. Thus, for the first three mouths of the year the number of fires was 731, and the average loss $2,542. The average of loss per fire, however, tor the remainder of the year is less, being for the remaining nine months but $1,119 per fire; while for the year through it has been $1,546.06, comparing favorably with previous years, and demonstrating the marked efficiency of the department. "The Probationary School of Instruction and the Life-Saving Corps still form admirable features of the Department, and the advantages which the schools afford have been availed of not only by ap plicants for but by a largo number of the officers and men already in the service. The force comprises a total membership of 927, of which 448, or more than one-half, have received certificates from the school.” HONEY. At the Headquarters of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in Loudon, recently, a singular discovery of honey was made. Upon a fire being lighted in a room where there bad not been one for several months, the chimney was found to smoke, and upon a fireman putting hia arm up the chimney to ascertain the cause, he found an old shirt, in which a large swarm of bees had evidently hived. There was a flue mass of honey, but the bees had gone. THE DEPARTMENT’S WIRES. Since Broadway has been lighted up by electrici ty, the globes have all been removed from the old lamposts, leaving the posts still standing, and on Broadway between the Battery and Fifty-ninth streets there are almost three hundred lampposts which are not used for any purpose, and the Board of Fire Commissioners has begun to utilize them to hold the fire-alarm boxes. The main body of the lamppost is cut off about eight inches from the bulge, or foot-piece, aud a three-sided yoke is inser ted aud leaded on top aud bottom. In the yoke there is placed one of the “Warren” patent fire alarm, keyless, boxes, a full description of which has been published heretofore in the Dispatch. The wires that convey the alarm are patent non- j inductive ones with lead-covered wires, which are carried down the stem of the lamppost and con nected with the main wires in the conduits of the New York Electrical Company. If, in the course of time this experiment is found fo be practicable and useful the improvement will be extended to other streets where the electric light has taken the place of the yellow, sickly gas lights. FIREMAN WILLIAM E. MILLER’S DEATH. Fireman Wm. E. Miller, of Engine Company No. 40, was buried from his late residence, No. 461 West Sixty-second street, on Wednesday afternoon, and his remains were accompanied to the ferry by the usual department escort. THE BALL OF THE VOLUNTEER FIREMENS’ ASSOCIATION was a great success, both in attendance as well as in a financial aspect. The decorations were in har mony with the surroundings, and were remarkable for their appropriateness. It was a magnificent sight which met the beholder upon entering the ball room. Suspended from the arch was a large floral badge, sixteen feet in bight, with the words, “Volunteer Firemens’ Association ” worked in co lors. Behind, and at the rear of the stage, was sus pended a large drop curtain representing a fire scene, and in the foreground stood old Jefferson Engine No. 26, formerly in use in this city, which was presented to the association by Mr. Thomas E. Tripier, one of her old members. Next was the Steinway Hose Carriage, of Long Island City, a splendid specimen of workmanship. She was ac companied by the following delegation: Wm. H. De lehanty, Foreman; C. H. Smith, Assistant Fore man; P. C. Horn and Max C. Burger, Secretaries, with Louis Hess aud Joseph Donohue as a Com mittee. There were also present Assistant Engineer R. Nevins, W. McKinnie, K. Smith, and W. Mason of the same city. The old goose nock engine that was used by the Association on the occasion of the parade at the Centennial Celebration, was also there by the kind permission of the New York E ire Com missioners. New Haven was represented by Messrs. Thomas E. Twitchell, Charles Doty, Charles N. Johnston, Wm. O. Higgins. Edward D. Smith, John H. Pardee, Joseph Cunningham, Charles Hatfield, and Secretary Albert R. Goodnow. The Chief Engi neer of Long Branch was accompanied by his assis tants—Dewitt, and Archibald Neming. Chief Engi neer Thomas, and assistants of Now London, Conn., cavorted around in the Virginia Reel with a party of friends, among whom may be mentioned Thomas E. Tripier and son. Chief Engineer Layburn, of Hobo ken, was the especial guest of Vice President Brice, and the Slaight families. Marshal Crane looked af ter the Philadelphia, Patterson, Newark, Jersey City, West Hoboken, Jamaica, Haverstraw and Brooklyn delegations, while Messrs. Dalton, Dailey, Corcoran, Hallen, and McCollough, done the right thing by the firemen from Whitestone, Newburg, Sing Sing, and the numerous chiefs and assistants who were present from almost every city and town within a radius of one hundred miles of New York. The reception committee were untiring in their efforts to promote the comfort of their numerous guests and did their utmost under the circumstan ces. It is a matter of regret, however, that in a city like New York, that such a condition of affairs exists. It is only those who are posted that can realize it. The committee in charge were restricted in their movements. It were idle to discuss it.* Here was a ball given for a charitable purpose; ev erything was supposed to be working in harmony; assurances had been given that no interference would be met with on the part of the authorities, and relying upon these assurances, the committee had made their arrangements, and at the last mo ment thefcquestion of a license was raised. The matter was again gone over, and notwithstanding the idea of a partnership was thought to have been settled, an order was given just before the opening Of the ball that the bar should be closed at 1 A. M. which was done, resulting in a loss of several hun dred dollars to the sick and distressed fund. The committee in charge of the ball of last year, given at the same house, were more fortunate’. They received for the house privileges the sum of $1,650, and were not hampered by any opposition. « This year, through a combination, the committee were unable to secure an offer for half that sum. They therefore concluded to run it themselves in the interest of the organization, but, as was said above, the partnership question was raised, in or der to overcome the question of a license—the house having one conveniently at hand—and the partnership plan was rejected by the committee, < the result being that at a later hour an order came J from the police to close the bar at 1 A. M. Now, - the question that the members ask among them- t selves is: Why should a charitable organization, i numbering upward of 2,000 members, be selected < for such treatment? Was it because they are a 1 poor, old, played-out body of firemen, that don't die 1 off quick enough ? Are they looked upon, as are the - survivors of the war of 1812—only a butt, that the unthinking may ridicule? Much could, or should be written upon the sub- - ject, but it will keep without being put on ice. i Come now gentlemen, let us see how the Excise ’ ROVAI, itADWAY’H | opels all aches, estorer of hcumatlcs cause,! outer of coughs Ight quickly it heals Bogaliy eurlng , aging heartburns and i ude neuralgia, igid sore throats, ellef to those who aved by torments, and ’ Bally sufferers ejuvenator of ouse up and try it_l est to you I then inging praises EADY KELIEI NEW YORK DISPATCH, JANUARY 10, 1886. Law is to be enforced at balls in this city hereafter. Shall it be upon the partnership plan, especially at the above house? We will watch, wait, and see, but [we would advise all those contemplating the giving of a ball this Winter at the above place to be sure [ and see the principal instead of the agent, as we were so kindly informed by the former that we should have done. Bosh, did you take us for mere r boys? We submitted and that satisfied—the law. . We got legal treatment, next. Oue thing, how j ever, wo would advise the Volunteer Firemens’ t Association to do, get a building of your own—you are strong enough—hold your balls in it. Don’t violate the law, or take a partner; lock your doors and enjoy yourselves. The Gibbs Committee has ‘ adjourned. t BROOKLYN^FIRE NOTES. 1 CHANGES—PROMOTIONS—TRANSFERS—GOSSIP. The anticipated change in the office of Fire Com missioner was declared on Wednesday last, much to the chagrin of respectable Democrats throughout the Department. The reporter, during his rambles among the fire laddies for the entire week past, has been repeatedly assured of the satisfaction felt by every member of the force with the administration of Commissioner Poillon. Much has been said by outsiders regarding the action taken by Major Poil lon in attempting to have a transfer made to the Fire Department of the office of Fire Marshal. The Dispatch has, through the medium of this column, and in the public interest, repeatedly urged the granting of the transfer mentioned. There does not appear to be any reason for objection on the part of Marshal Thorne as to the proposed transfer ring of his office from the Police to the Fire Depart ment. a It is evident that the suggestion of Commis sioner* Poillon regarding this matter was au excel lent one, and solely intended for the public good. It remains to be seen whether the newiy-appoint ed Fire Commissioner will endeavor to perfect the internal arrangement of his department as consci entiously aud as satisfactorily as has his predeces sor. Deputy Commissioner Moore will retain his present position, although changes in the clerical department will be insisted upon. McCann, of En gine No. 7, is wire-pulling for the position of Super intendent of Combustibles. Ketch was always anx ious to avoid fire duty, and as he has been long enough in the department, it is suggested that he be retired or given the position of white mouse at these headquarters. Ono delegate from each of the various companies throughout the department was granted a leave of absence on Monday last to enable them to attend a meeting of the Brooklyn Paid Eire Department Re lief Association. At roll call it was learned that representatives from Engines Nos. 21 and 8 and Trucks Nos. 1 and 4 were not present. Each of the representatives pres ent was duly instructed to voice the opinion of their entire company regarding the disputed ques tion as to whether the heirs of deceased members be entitled to benefits. Upon motion, a ballot was taken, resulting in 159 votes being east in favor of eliminating from the proposed by-laws the clause providing for death benefits. President Donnelly and Secretary Beith are both sanguine of success in the present undertaking, although it is believed by the thinking members of the force that the exclusion oi death benefits will retard the' progress of the new organization. Tbo Financial Secretary’s report shows a balance of SSO. Further assessments will be exacted from members, in order to provide by-laws, which will be at once forwarded to members of the association. The claims of Firemen Berdau, Flaherty and Langdon were compromised, despite the recent de cision of Judge Cullen, who declared that Lawyer Valentine was not entitled to any portion of the money wrested from the city treasury* Riley, of Engine Co. No. 6, is still disputing the lawyer’s claim for services rendered. James Benson, fireman, of Engine Co. No. 3, died at 2:25 o’clock on the 2d iust., of pneumonia, con tracted while in the performance of his duty. De ceased had been for some time detailed as driver to Chief Nevins, aud was highly respected throughout the department. His funeral, on Tuesday last, took place from his late residence, President street, near Columbia, and was largely attended. A detail of one man from each company reported to Captain Duff, and assisted in escorting the remains of Ben son to Holy Cross Cemetery. District Engineer Dale took charge oi the detail. The floral contribu tions were numerous and expensive. TRANSFERS. Captain Healy, of Truck 6, was this week trans ferred to Engine No. 22, vice McDonough, who re turns to the command of Engine No. 9. The ap pointment of Captain Connell to the commandof the new tireboat was this week confirmed. APPOINTMENTS. Donohue, of Engine No. 12, was on Monday last appointed as foreman of Truck No. 6; James Rob erts, of Engine No. 8, will, no doubt, assume charge of the Furman street company. It is rumored how ever that Captain Smith, of Engine No. 14. has been promised the command of the latter company. The Herkimer street men would welcome the change. It is said Captain Farrell, of Engine No. 17, will be the coming foreman of the new company. ITEMS OF NEWS, The bell-ringers in the department have been (as signed to temporary duty at the Furman street house. The detailing of these men is due to the recent improvements in the electrical appliances which dispenses with the services of those formerly used as machines. Daniel McGlone, at present foreman of the Brook lyn Electric Light Company, is favorably spoken ot as the coming Superintendent of Telegraph in the Department; should he, however, fail in his aspira tions, the vacancy which will undoubtedly be crea ted by the expulsion of Wasserman,will be accepta bly filled by Mr. McGlone. BROOKLYN POLICE MATTERS DEPARTMENT CHANGES, TRIALS, ETC. A gloomy aspect was apparent in and about headquarters during the past week. The feeling was, however, somewhat brightened upon the in telligence being received of the reappointment of Mr. Francis Dallon as Deputy Commissioner. Changes will, nevertheless, be made among those of the ufiuniformed force at present holding position. It is universally hoped that the services of Messrs. Harlow and Jenkins may be retained despite politi cal changes. With the appointment of Colonel Carroll as Police Commissioner, it is said that no serious difficulty will arise concerning the adminis tration of the working portion of the force. Regret at the loss of Commissioner Partridge has been ex pressed during the week by members of the present force, irrespective of party affiliations. TRIALS. Marks, of the First Precinct, has again brought himself into trouble through a fascination, viz. the crooking of his elbow. The excuse of putting out a drunken man alter the midnight hour was not deemed worthy of notice, and Captain Campbell’s statement of not seeing Marks in the performance of his duty will cost the latter a loss of one day’s pay. Whiteford, of the First Precinct, was ordered to perform duty as a patrolman by his superior offi cer during the past week. The malaria, which would appear to be prevalent during the holiday season, evidently affected "Whitey’s” brain. His previous C. R. resulted in his escaping in this iu. stance with a reprimand. Bennett, Jr., did not feel exactly well while per forming patrol duty, as alleged, on Tuesday last. The ill feeling culminated in tempting Bennett to seek consolation in the cup that, it is claimed, drowns sorrow. Bennett will forfeit one day’s pay as a result of his confidence in human nature and compounds. Herbert, whose appointment was effected in Au gust last, wandered away from his relieving point during his tour of duty, and pleading guilty, as al leged, was sharply reprimanded. Noonan, when costive, should procure a leave of absence, in order to provide against possible con tingencies. For negligence in this respect he was found guilty of being off post without taking a pill, which latter action will entail a loss of one day s pay. Fivepeuce would have effected a cure, Noo nan.
