BEFORE COMMISSIONER McCLAVE.
hauled up for being color blind.
Officer Gorr, of tiio Twenty-ninth Precinct, when
boiore the Legislative Committee, and questioned
as to the persons that entered a place in Thirty-first
street, which was on his post, did not answer truly
to the questions put to him. This was a violation
of rule 324, which requires officers to bo able to re
cognise persons whom they frequently meet on the
street, also their occupations.
Captain Williams presented a copy of the evidence
the officer gave before the Investigating Committee.
The officer said he was not guilty of the charge.
The captain said the officer did not tell the com
mission what he know of the place and its character,
and therefore did not speak truthfully. The officer
had been on ti nt post tor four years.
The officer said ne did not get a chance to venti
late his opinions.
“ I see you were asked, how many good people you
had seen go in there, and you said you Jhad seen
twenty go in. Was that twenty respectable people
years?”
«*“Yea, I have seen twenty respectable people go m
the place,” said the officer.
“ l)o respectable women go in this place?” asked
the Commissioner.
'1 hey would go in there in day time for beer,”
said the officer.
“ Are you married?”
"Yes. sir.”
"Would you be 'pleased to see your wife in
there ?”
"No, sir.”
"What is IbeTcputation of the p’ace ?”
" Good; I never was called in to make an arrest. ”
"What ia the character of the frequenters of the
place ?”
" Somewhat doubtful.”
"Any of them worse than doubtful?”
“ Some.”
" And still you think them respectable ?” said the
Commissioner.
" I haw, seen them go in for a can of beer.”
•* Did you mean to testify to that?”
’"■They did not give me a chance to explain the
case. The lawyers got into a (wrangle, and they
would not give me a chance. The lawyers com
menced to wrangle and said that will do.”
" And still you testified that it was a respectable
place ?”
"Servant girls went there.”
"You wanted to qualify your answer, and you
did not insist on it?”
"They said that would do, an 1 I walked off the
st nd. I had seen several go in for beer in the day
time, time and again.”
" You have been in the Twenty-ninth Precinot
twelve years, and on that post how long ?’•
••Four years, night and day.”
•“Will you please state to the Commission’—
reading from his evidence—•• ‘wh** theeWaoUr o f
that place is and the character of the people who
frequent or resort there ?’ Your answer is, ‘Well, I
saw men and women go in there. I never saw any
thing wrong about the place, as far as I know.’ ”
" Are you prepared,” said the Commissioner, “to
testify, after being four years on that post, that
nothing wrong had ever occurred there, &nd it was
a proper place for women to go to ?”
“If they went in the daytime for beer. They
came from the east side of Broadway.”
“ When you say you never saw anything wrong
about the place, what do you mean ?”
“No trouble. I never saw anything wrong on the
street, outside.”
"Why didn’t you so state you never saw any
thing wrong at that minute ? What is the charac
ter of the men and women you saw go in there ?”
“They are gentlemen.”
"You still adhere to your testimony?”
“Yes, sir; young clerks and salesmen* as far as I
know.”
“ How about the women ?”
" They are doubtful,” reading from his testimony.
"I want to get at the character of the women. I
want to know the character of those who frequent
the place.”
•Bad.”
"Some of them bad and some of them good ?”
"Yes, sir.
"You still adhere to it F’ said the Commissioner.
’•Some are good ?”
"That is, those that go in for beer.”
"The question is, how many bad and how many
good ?"
"I can’t say, but from what I hear people talk.”
“Thon the question is (reading the testimony)—
your opinion is, from what you have seen of the
women, that no considerable portion are respect
able?”
"I have seen good women go in with gentlemen.”
"That is correct,” replied the officer.
"And you still believe that ?”
"They did not give me a chance to explain,” said
the officer.
"You have had twelve years’ experience as a po
liceman-four years on the post where this place is
—and during these f-our years you have seen twenty
or more respectable people enter the saloon ?”
‘ Yes. sir” (reading from report).
“You still adhere to that?”
"To the best of my knowledge.”
"And the explanation is that they went in .there
for the purpose, in the day time, to get beer? Who
were they ?”
"Servant girls in the neighborhood. They camo
from decent houses.”
Officer James Cool was also put on trial, and ques
tioned as to the sort of testimony he gave before
this investigating committee.
"You gave testimony against the Excise Com
mission,” said Com. McClave. You testified
that you had been twelve years on the force, had
been eleven years in the Twenty-ninth Precinct,
you knew this place and bad opportunity to observe
the characters of those who went there, to which
you replied 4 Yes, sir.’ When asked what they were,
you replied ‘doubtful.’ What do you mean by
doubtful ?” asked Com. McClave.
" Prostitutes,” replied the officer.
•‘ There is nothing doubtful about that ?”
“ No, sir. ”
“ Have you seen respectable women go in there ?”
" In the day time servant girls go in for beer.”
“ In general terms the women that go in that
place are prostitutes ?”
" Yes, sir.”
Officer Sam Price said he was not -called in rela
tion to the place, but he knew it. He know its
character.
” What was it?”
“ Doubtful.”
“ What is doubtful ?” asked the Commissioner.
•‘ Concerning the women, they are prostitutes.”
•‘ I would not say doubtful, if I knew them to be
prostitutes,” remarked the Commissioner.
" I consider all women that go there to be prosti
tutes,” said the officer. “In a few instances in the
day time servant girls go in with pails for beer.”
SEEN IN A SALOON, AND DENIED IT.
Smith, of the Twelfth Precinct, denied being in
the liquor store, No. 2,556 Third avenue. He said
he was standing at the door.
"He was inside,” said the roundsman. “ I saw
him coming out. Tasked him what he was doing
in there. He said he was in alter a fight. 1 went in
to see, and the proprietor said there was no muss at
all.”
“ Did you see him inside ?”
" Yes, sir. I was across the street He opened
the door and came out.”
“ The man ran out of the liquor store across the
avenue,” said Smith, “ and he said there was a
fight. I just opened the door and he said there
was something the matter. Two men had a fight and
had gone out, and I came out and met the rounds
man. I never left the door, I had the knob in my
hand.”
" Your roundsman says you came out ?”
•‘ He saw me shut the door, but I was not in
there.”
“lam positive he was in there,” said the rounds
man.
“ Who was this man told you there was trouble in
the store ?”
“ I don’t know, I never saw him before,” said
Smith.
" I saw the proprietor, and asked what the officer
was doing in the store. He said no officer was in
there. He asked me if I would have something. 1
said no, not in business hours. Half a dozen were
in the place, I could see their heads,” said the
roundsman.
INNOCENTS AT HOME.
At a short distance from the Thirtieth street sta
tion, at twelve o’clock, midnight, Sergeant Cross
saw a drunken man. He ordered Bradock, who was
coming in off post with others, to take him in. At
the station-house door Bradock turned over the
drunken man to Clinton.
Bradock said there were three officers together,
and to which the order was given, he couldn't say.
" What was the object of the transfer?” asked the
Commissioner.
Bradock was on duty from six to eight o’clock in
the morning, Clinton was on duty from eight to
one o’clock. He lost nothing by taking the prisoner
to court at eight o’clock.
Clinton said he did not know that he was violat
ing any rule by taking the prisoner from Bradock.
THOUGHT A BOORMAN A CITIZEN AND CLUB
BED HIM.
Doorman McGinley, of the Fifteenth Precinct
was arrested by Officer Wishorn, of the same Pre
cinct, charged with intoxication. The doorman
was in citizen’s clothes, and the officer, who had
been but a day in the Precinct, did not know his
doorman when he clubbed and arrested him.
The time of the arrest was 5:40 A. M., January 3d.
Capt. Brogan said that at eight o’clock the door
man was still so intoxicated that he could not send
him to court; he had a club cut on his head which
was bound up.
Officer Wishosn said : Patrolling his post at half
past five in the morning, he found the doorman at
Sullivan and Houston streets, who whistled for
him. Ho went to McGinley, and asked what he
wanted. He laughed at the officer, who-asked him
again who he was and what he wanted. The door
man laughed again, and thrust his fist in the
officer’s face, and ho gave him a punch with his
stick. The doorman then got very demonstrative
and "expressive in forcible language,” and told
him he was no policeman. This was a very bad
corner, and not knowing his doorman, he was
naturally more severe than if he had known him.
The doorman offered to bet ten to one he was not a
policeman, and thrust hie hand in his coat He
naturally grabbed him by the collar, not knowing
whether it was money or a pistol that was coming.
They had a struggle, and he gave him the “ stick.”
Had he known McGinley was a doorman, he would
have got out out of his way, or sent him about his
business. In taking him to the station-house, Mc-
Ginley tried to take the stick from him, and then
he gave him the club on the head. The doorman
could walk and had control of himself.
Sergeant Douglas said the doorman, when brought
in, was Intoxicated and disorderly.
Sergeant Grant said the man was intoxicated be
yond a doubt.
Surgeon Doran said the doorman was partially
insensible when he examined him, and had a faint
smell of liquor.
All the witnesses said this clubbing w’ould give
the doorman stupidity of appearance and half craze
him.
The doorman said he drank lager, but never drank
hard stuff in his life.
OVER THE STATION-HOUSE RAILING.
Cannon, of the Eighteenth Precinct, came up
from the basement at three o’clock to report return
*cil-call, three hour# after time. It was the opinion
of the captain and sergeant that the officer had
jumped the railing and got in through the base
ment. The officer said, when he came in shortly
after twelve o’clock, he went down stairs and fell
asleep in the water-closet.
At a quarter to three o’clock the roundsman went
below and looked in all the water-closets, and no
Cannon was there. At 3:30 he came up from below
and said he had fallen asleep at 12:20.
IN A STORM DOOR.
Horan, of the Eighteenth Precinct, admitted be
ing in the storm-door of a liquor saloon. He had a
touch of diarrhae and had to go there twice; when
in the storm-door they brought out a glass of Ja
maica rum and ginger.
HELPING THE BLIND.
O’Reilly, of the Fifth Precinct, was two blocks off
post. Ho said he met. a blind man who wanted to
get to the Elevated station, to go to Harlem.
•• Why didn't you bring that blind man here ?”
"He is in Philadelphia. Ho told me he got per
fectly turned round.”
AN HONEST SHIRKER.
Seymour, of the Twenty-first Precinct, who
couldn't be found by the roundsman, said he felt
sick when he went out and went in a stable.
“ Did you lie down ? ’
“Yes, sir.”
“ And fell asleep ?”
“Y?s, sir.”
“ Then you felt better ?”
“ Yes, sir.”
"It was warm among the straw?”
"No, it was in the office.”
“There was a stove there ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What did you tell the roundsman ?”
“ Nothing.”
“How long on the force 2”
“ Sinco September.”
“You are making up a record,” said the Commis
sioner.
ONE SAYS “FINE”—THE OTHER, “MUGGY.”
O’Rourke went four times over Clark’s post—Sew
enteenth Precinct.
“I might have been in a deep basement or a
storm-door,” said the officer.
“ I can hear a rap in my house. What sort of a
morning was this ?”
“Fine,” said the roundsman.
“Muggy,” said the officer.
“ It is the shortest post in the precinct,” said the
roundsman.
INVISIBLE.
Churchill, of the Sixth Precinct, was absent from
the public school from twenty minutes to nine to
five minutes past nine. Then the roundsman saw
him coming toward it a block off. The roundsman
said ho stood on the corner.
The officer said he, too, stood on the corner at the
same time that the roundsman did.
Neither saw the other.
OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
TRIALS AND JUDGMENTS-SICK
FIREMEN — THE ANNUAL RE
PORT.
Tho Board of Fire Commissioners met in regular
weekly session on last Wednesday morning, with
President Purroy in the chair.
THE TRIALS.
The first business transacted was the hearing of
the trials set down for this meeting, and they are
as follows:
ASSAULTING A CITIZEN.
Fireman Mandeville S. Sandford, of Engine Com
pany No. 1, was. triad oxx a chargn of a_
citizen named Charles McCluskey, who is a butcher
at No. 327 Seventh avenue.
He pleaded not guilty.
Assistant Foreman Augustus H. Wright testified:
"Engineer McCabe told me that two citizens had
coma into the engine house and said a big fireman
was assaulting a citizen. Of my own knowledge I
know nothing further about the case.”
The complainant's name was called several times
throughout the building, but he did not respond,
and Foreman McCabe said he had been regularly
notified to be here to-day.
Engineer McCabe testified that “A young man
came into the engine house and asked for two or
three firemen to prevent another fireman from as
saulting a citizen. A colored woman shortly after
came in also and made the same statement, and I
told the assistant foreman of it, and that is all I
know about it.”
The accused in his own behalf, said : “I had a bill
to pay down town; afterward I met a friend who
took mo up-town in a carriage as far as Seventh
avenue and Twenty-eighth street, where there was
a collision between the carriage and a butcher’s
cart. The drivers got off, and during the row, I got
a handsome licking. I got ‘assaulted in a handsome
manner’ I can tell you. I suypose I got mixed up
with the drivers somehow.”
The case not being proven, it was dismissed.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR.
Engineer Robert Pallett, of Engine Company
No. 12, was charged, first, with being under the in
fluence of liquor on January 4th, and also with not
being in proper uniform on tho same day while he
was neither on house-watch or special duty.
He pleaded not guilty.
Fireman Edward Gibbons testified : “ My atten
tion was called to Pallett on the day in question-by
the Assistant Foreman, but I could not swear
that he was under the influence of liquor, nor do I
believe he was intoxicated, nor could I say be was
sober. I bad not seen him drinking either. I saw
nothing that would convince me he had been driuk
ing, or that he was drunk. He did not have his
uniform on. “ All he had was his shirt and panta
loons on—no coat or jacket.”
Fireman James Conrey testified : “ I was detailed
to this company from Engine Company, No. 32, and
my attention was called to Pallett’s condition by
the Assistant Foreman, and I believe that Pallett
was all right—he was not drunk, but he did not
have his whole uniform on.”
Assistant Foreman Meehan testified : “ Pallett
was going out of the house without permission,
and Conrey told him not to go out. I told Pallett
not to leave the floor, and I also told the man on
house-watch to enter Pallett on the journal. Ha
was under the influence of liquor, and acted in a stu
pefied manner, and not able to go along.
“He had no ailment at the time. I had no con
versation with Pallett, and I had no proof to
show that he had been drinking. He did not stag
ger; he could go up-stairs, but would fall down
again. In my opinion he could not do his duty in a
proper manner. *
President Purroy (to Meehan) : “I have no doubt
that Pallett was drunk, or had been drinking, but
neither your witness’s nor your own testimony
proves your case.”
Pallett, in his own behalf, said: “ I am suffering
from neuralgia in the head, so that at times I don’t
know what 1 am about, and I act as if I was drunk.
Ail the trouble is in my head. I was not drunk,
nor had I been drinking. I have also been suffering
with rheumatism.”
Pallett was then fined five days’ pay. ordered to
be sent before the medical officers for examination,
and to be transferred to some other company.
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE.
Fireman Timothy Sullivan, of Engine Company
No. 27, was charged with being absent without leave
for thirty minutes on January Ist, and also with
neglecting to respond to an alarm of fire on the
same day.
He pleaded not guilty.
Fireman John 8. Cleary testified: “At the time
mentioned in the complaint an alarm of fire came
in, and the captain asked how many men were in
the house. I counted ten, and the captain told me
to find out where the other two were. I looked all
over for Firemen Sullivan and Crotty, but I could
not find them. They were not excused, as far as I
know of. The team stood hitched up, waiting for a
third alarm, for fifteen minutes, and after half an
hour had passed both Sullivan and Crotty came
down the pole.”
Sullivan, in his own behalf, said: “My father
came into quarters to see me, and not thinking to
ask for permission to go away, 1 went with my fa
ther and put him iu the cars. It an alarm of fire
had come in I could have heard it, and also could
have caught the apparatus and gone with it to the
fire.”
He was then fined five days’ pay.
Fireman Edward C. Becker, of Engine Company
No. 13, was charged with being absent without
leave for three hours and forty-two minutes, on
January 10th.
He pleaded not guilty.
Assistant Foreman Charles Cruger testified: ‘‘l
received a message from Dr. Joyce, ordering Becker
to report for duty ou the day iu question, but he
did not do so.”
Becker, in his own behalf, said: “ I waa home and
asleep; I told the folks to call me in time to go to
quarters, but they failed to do so, but I got to the
company as soon as I could.”
President Purroy: "Becker, this is the first
charge against you, and you are soiling your record
—that’s all.”
He was then fined two days’ pay.
Fireman Frank Kelley, of Engine Company No. 2, ■
was charged with being absent without leave for
three hours and twenty minutes between January
2d and 3d.
He pleaded guilty and said: “Mr. President,l had
a little entertainment at home. There were a great
many ladies there, and we were enjoying ourselves
so much the time passed unheeded by me.”
He was fined three days’ pay.
NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Fireman Timothy J. Crotty, of Engine Company
No. 27, was charged with failing to respond to an
alarm of fire on January Ist, and also with being
absent without leave for one hour and nineteen
minutes on tho same day.
He pleaded guilty, and in his own behalf said: “I
was in the drying-room and did not hear tne alarm
when it came in. Afterward I went to supper. It
was Now Year’s Day. I was having a good time
and I unintentionally overstayed my time.”
President Purroy—“Crotty, you and Sullivan are
both on the road to expulsion. You have disgraced
yourselves, that’s all.”
Crotty was then fined five days’ pay.
Fireman Joseph F. Manning, of Engine Company .
No. 30, was charged, first, with failing to accompanv
the apparatus in response to an alarm of fire, on
January 2; second, with the same offense on Jan
uary 4; third, with being under the influence of
liquor on January 4, and fourth, with being absent
without leave for twenty-nine hours, between
January 4 and 6.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge of intoxica
tion, but guilty to the other charges.
Fireman Joseph Smallen testified: “In my
opinion the accused was not intoxicated; he com
plained of being sick, but had not taken any
medicine. I was on house-watch at the time, and
relieved Manning. I did not think that Manning
was drunk. He looked very nervous; by his speach
and action, he seemed to be under some great ex
citement. He wrote badly on the journal. He said
he was discouraged, he was trying to do what was
right, but it seemed he could not do so.”

Captain Scannell testified: " I went to answer an
alarm of Are, and my attention was called to Man
ning by his bad handwriting on the journal; he

“BLACK JOKE.”
The old members of Engine Company No. 33
(known as “Black Joke”), of the old Volunteer Fire
Department, will give their annual invitation ball
at Adelphi Hall on Monday evening, January 25th.
The old fire vamps expect to have a gay time and a
big gathering on this festive occasion.
BROOKLYN FIRE NOTES.
COMMENTS—COMPLAINTS—MEETINGS—GOSSIP
—NEWS IN GENERAL,
IN THE FUTURE AS IN THE PAST.
During the existence of this column we have al
ways endeavored to present to our readers a truth
ful statement, in as simple and compact form as
circumstance would permit, of the general doings
of the department, together with current gossip,
and other reading matter which we deemed of
interest to the force as well as to the general pub
lic.
We have been this week officially assured that
our frequent suggestions as to certain practicable
changes in the interest of the department will be in
time freely adopted. This is, indeed, gratifying
news. Exceptions, it is true, may have been at
times taken to our method of pointing out the un
fitness for the position of firemen, of would-be
prominent members ef the force who are constantly
seeking newspaper notoriety. While we stand ever
ready to make public the deeds of deserving fire
men, we shall still continue to use the lance as
freely as of yore, in pricking the bubble reputation
fraudulently acquired by undeserving members
whose motive we detest That our future efforts in
this direction will produce the desired result goes
without saying.
COMPLAINTS.
The reporter has been of late frequently asked to
listen to complaints against mon who, it is claimed,
require to be forced to perform pipe duty during
fires. It is further asserted that many of these men
are physically unable to ascend a ladder beyond the
filth round. If this be true, the services of such
men might be readily dispensed with in the public
interest. Again, we have been assured that certain
members while attending working fires manage to
evade the performance of dangerous duty without
being detected by their district engineer or fore
man. These skulkers should be likewise dismissed
from a force they, by their cowardice, disgrace.
There is yet another objectionable class men
tioned, comprising superannuated firemen at pres
ent serving with active companies. The objection
an this instance comes from the younger element,
who claim to bo overworked. It is suggested that
the old fire laddies be pensioned or transferred to
outlying companies where comparatively little fire
duty is exacted. We have been requested to make
public these facts in order that the coming Comm.s
sioner may be made aware of existing evils in the
force. We have done so, albeit morally convinced
that many of those making the above request would
eat their words were they to be questioned upon
this subject by either Chief Nevins or Smith. Both
of the latter gentlemen are fully alive to the wants
of the department, and, it is safe to say, know to a
man the character of each member comprising the
force. It is predicted, however, that certain objection
able members will, under the new order of things,
be forced to retire from active service as firemen.
MEETING OF EXEMPT FIREMEN.
Through an unavoidable mistake the proceedings
of the Exempt Association, W. D., at its thirty-fourth
annual meeting, escaped publication in this col
umn. The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, J. T. Finn; Vice President,
M. F. Connor; Recording Secretary, Theo. Drake-
Financial Secretary, T. Burnett; Treasurer, William
Burrell; Trustees, Messrs. Brown, Tande, Dailey,
Noe and Kent.
THE FIREBOAT.
The reporter visited the fireboat on Tuesday last
and found the latter hemmed in between a barge
and the lower end of the dock opposite Harbeck’s
stores. Large quantities of floating ice threatened
to impede tho progress of the “Seth Low,” should
her services be needed at a fire. There is, no
doubt, ample reason to fear that the fireboat may
be, at any time during a severe Winter, rendered
practically useless if permitted to remain moored
to her dock and surrounded by ice. Even though
she might be enabled tq reach the open water,
there is a possible danger of her being unable to
approach the shore near enough to be of any as
sistance, owing to the presence of ice. The boat
was found to be under steaming orders when
boarded by the reporter, who was hospitably enter
tained with hot coffee, etc. in the cabin. Considera
ble dissatisfaction was expressed, owing to the boat
being ousted from her regular berth and the con
stant outgoing and incoming of vessels. The ob
taining of a supply of water for steaming pur
poses, is another bad feature in the case which may
be remedied later on. There is no doubt but what
a suitable building will be speedily erected for the
housing of the boat’s crew. This intelligence will
be. no doubt, hailed with delight by the latter.
Thirty-one lengths of three and a half inch gutta
percha hose were received during the week at head
quarters, together with a quantity of nozzles, suita
ble for the powerful work to be performed.
As the captain of the fireboat assumes more re
sponsibility, in a pecuniary sense, than any two
district engineers, it might not be improper to
suggest that he receive the pay and rank of the
lattur office. We say this advisedly, be it under
stood, our reason being that the boat is supposed
to perform a (luty equivalent to that of seven fire
engints, and this, too, under the immediate super
vision, as we are informed, of Captain Connell. As
no one of the present district engineers is called
upon to superintend the working of more than
four engines at a fire, the justice of our recom
mendation ought to be at once apparent to the un
prejudiced mind.
WOULD HAVE BEEN WISE.
The new appointees have been fitted out with ser
viceable fire-hats. It would have been a wiser plan
for all to have purchased them a size, at least,
larger than the caps worn, as the hat will, in time,
shrink perceptibly.
A TERRIBLE FALL.
Fireman Thomas Flaherty, of Engine Company
No. 11, while attending a fire in the Eastern Dis
trict on Tuesday last met with a sad accident.
While accompanying Captain McGuire to the fourth
story of the building, Tom unfortunately lost his
hat, and in his effort to recover it, stepped upon
the half-burned door of a hatchway. Without any
warning the latter suddenly gave way and Flaherty
was precipitated to the first floor. When found, he
was insensible, and. it was foarod, fatally injured.
Tender bands conveyed to Eis home and a
surgeon was at once summoned. Upon inquiry at
headquarters on Wednesday last, the reporter yas
informed that after an examination made by Fir 6
Surgeon Fleming, Flaherty was pronounced out of
all immediate danger, although seriously injured.
Captain McGuire narrowly escaped a similar fate.
MEETING OF BALL COMMITTEE.
The ball committee of the Volunteer Firemen’s
Association met as usual on Wednesday evening
last to further perfect arrangements for the coming
ball. Everything thus far undertaken tends to
show by the results that the affair will be the load
ing one of the season. After calling the meeting to
order, reports were received from the various com
mittees. The Treasurer stated that the increased
demand for tickets and the accompanying cash re
turns for the same was flattering, indeed. The lad
dies are enthusiastic in their efforts to aid the en
terprise to the extent of their power. A contract to
furnish suppers for all the assembled guests was
awarded to G. D. Riley, who, aided by the well
known steward of the Oxford Club, promises to
leave nothing undone to render his part in the pro
gramme a pronounced success. The matter of the
sale of the boxes was also definitely settled. A
liberal supply of complimentary tickets was ordered,
to be tendered the Volunteer Associations of New
York and Staten Island, also the Exempt Association
of New York, together with that of the Eastern and
Western Districts of Brooklyn. The sub-committee
was likewise appointed during the evening.
Detective Looney, of the Central Squad, will at
tend to the police arrangements. Hon. John Court
ney, aided by Sheriff Farley, Messrs. Simpson, Han
non, Velsor and a host of other well-known gentle
men, will figure as a reception committee. The
floor management will be ably presided over by Mr.
J. Pryor Rourke. The members were urged by
President Whitlock to work unceasingly in the good
cause. Fire Commissioner Poillon has succeeded
in disposing of over one hundred tickets—the larg
est number thus far accredited to any single indi
vidual.
“ Let her go!”
ITEMS OF NEWS,
Commissioner-elect Ennis visited headquarters on
Wednesday last and seemed to be well pleased w-ith
tiiu oxißting order of things On Monday last the
Commissioner med bonds to the amount of SIO,OOO.
The foremen of the various companies were sum
moned to headquarters on Wednesday last. Com
missioner Poillon, in a few choice words, expressed
his sincere appreciation of the zealous manner in
which the officers, as a body, had sustained him
during his administration of affairs. The address
was well received by the men, many of whom ex
pressed their deep regret at the loss of one who was
ever interested in the welfare of the rank and file of
the department.
The Telegraph Bureau has been working to its
utmost capacity during the past week. Owing to
recent storms the linemen have been constantly
employed in making needed repairs.
Although regretting the loss of Captain Farrell,
the boys of Engine Company No. 17, are congratu
lating themselves over the assignment to the com
mand of that company of Captain Roberts. The
latter is a true gentleman and a thorough fireman.
The caulkers have been busily engaged during
the week in finishing the work upon the Furman
street house.
TRANSFERS.
Johnson, formerly of Truck No. 2, and recently
doing duty on the fire-boat, was, on Tuesday last,
reassigned to his former company.
GOSSIP.
. It is rumored that Gray, of Engine Company No.
■l', is seeking an appointment to his former position
at headquarters.
It is proposed to form a Veteran Firemans’ Asso
ciation similar to that of New York. Why not ?
It is hoped that the new Commissioner may be
induced to abandon the nuisance of indicators. So
saith Mr. Sandford, and he should know.
A white mouse is one who, while admitted to a
knowledge of the simple secrets of hie comrades, in
an apparently innocent manner reveals the same to
those in authority. The headquarters alluded to in
our last issue is situated on Willoughby street.
Ketch on ?
We have once more donned our steel vest and
erected a crematory in our backyard. We always
go heeled, so beware, ye avengers.

MarffareVs S’ory.
Four years ago Ferdinand and Margaret Keal
were married in Germany. She had a little bit of
money, and she supported him. He did nothing—
never gave her any support. They came to this
country, and all the time he worked in these four
years was a fortnight, in a restaurant, and he made
$6 for the two weeks.
She went back to Germany in June last and sold a
small piece of property that she had, and got 1,000
marks. In August last she came back. Since’she
came back she never went to bis home at No. 142
Chrystie street to make a demand for support, be
cause he was living with another woman. She’was
afraid to go near him. He had sent her threatening
letters.
He was discharged. She had made no demand for
support.
Everything Goes Wrong in the
bodily mechanism when the liver gets out of order.
Constipation, dyspepsia, contamination of the
blood, imperfect assimilation are certain to ensue.
But it is easy to prevent these consequences, and
remove their cause, by a course ot Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, which stimulates the biliary organ
and regulates its action. The direct result is a dis
appearance of the pains beneath the ribs and
through the shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches,
yellowness of the skin, furred look of the
and sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver
complaint. Sound digestion and a regular habit of
body are blessings also secured by the use of this
celebrated restorative of health, which imparts a
degree of vigor to the body which is its best guar
antee of safety from malarial epidemics. Nerve
weakness and over-tension are relieved by it, and it
improves both appetite and sleep.
