It is now related—and it sounds very
rmuch as if Dalziel of the tetter was responsible for
’ it, that Miss Clara Louise Kollo g was born— when is not
precisely- known—in the town of Sumter, South Carolina.
She left, there when she was ten months old—didn’t run
Awav to go on the stage, but simply accompanied her
parents—and had never been there since until she visited
the place the other day during her first concert tour in
the South, under the management of Major Pond. It was
a pathetic moment when Miss Kellogg a: rived in Sumter
The entire population—32,oo »—c une ont to meet her,
Headed by the oldest inhabitant, who had of course “dan
dled her on his knee when she v as a tiny mite like that.”
This ancient is supposed now to be about one hundred
And forty-seven years of age, and was borne in state on a
•wheelbarrow. He embraced Miss Kellogg and the major,
'whom he at first imagined to be the husband of the
great American prim a donna.” and wanted to tell stor
ies about remembering hearing the future G. A. I’. D.
sing Proch’s Variations, the Polonaise’ from Mignon, and

able to toddle,
Mr. De Wolf Hopper “read the an
swer in the stars” to a rather odd accompaniment in the
Cincinnati Grand Opera House ihe other night. The in
flated rubber bag, that makes him obese, became rup
tured, and suddenly there \\ as a sissing sound of escaping
air and the. Burgomaster began to shrink in an alarming
manner. The audience seemed to enjoy the interpolated
number much better than Mr. Hopper did, and wanted it
done again. Of course the bellows used to blow up the
“fat" could not be found. It took the combined power of
the whole “Black Hussar” Company lungs to get Mr.
Hopper back into a state so that his clothes fitted him
Again.
Mlle. Rhea appeared in Richmond,
Virginia, last Saturday, as Pt ggy Thrift, m the old Eng
lish comedy “The Country Girl." The comedy was put
on the stage under the superintendence ct that very com
petent and popular director, Mr. Ben. Teal, who enjoys a
great reputation lor his capacity for work of this kind,

bable that he will superintend the production of “Meg

A. Rather Novel Theft.
ROBBING THE GROCER TO PAY HIM A DEBT.
John Brower, of No. 2,755 Third avenue, charged
Thomas Shannon with tapping his till and stealing
$2. He saw him behind the counter, and he had
the money in his hand, and the money drawer was
open. He took the money from him and turned
him over to an officer. It was between eight and
nine in the evening.
“How do you know this money was yours?”
asked counsel.
“ Why, he had it in his hand, he was behind the
counter and the drawer was open.**
” Did he go there for the purpose of paying a bill
that his mother owed you ?“
“ Not that night. If he did, I don’t see where the
profit would come in to steal money from me to pay
me what his mother owed.”
The boy took the stand and said he went in that
night and asked Mr. Brower how much his mother
owed him. He had the money to pay the bill and a
penny for the News, and as he was going out he
was caught by the neck, and the grocer charged him
with the theft His sister gave him the money.
JHe was sentenced to thirty days in prison.

last, was buried from his residence. No. 339 East
Thirty-fifth street, on Tuesday afternoon, and his
remains were escorted to the ferry by the usual
department detail of officers and men.
INTERESTING RELICS.
A few days since, while the fire reporter of the
Dispatch was visiting some of the down-town com
panies, he was informed that there were some inter
esting relics of the old Volunteer Fire Department
to be seen at No. 14 Fulton street. He at once pro
ceeded to the place, and found it was the wholesale
establishment of Arnett G. Smith. Mr. Smith cor
dially greeted our representative and took him in a
back private office, which was completely filled with
the old department’s reminders—and a visit by any
of our old, and, for that matter, our new firemen,
and all those interested in the departments, will
amply repay them.
Mr. Smith, himself, is an old fireman, having
served his time with old Engine Company, No. 28,
which laid in Fifty-seventh street, near Fourth
avenue-
Below we give an account of some of the objects
of interest:
First, there are 341 frontispieces, from 1790, and
they are all genuine enes, as can be seen by the dis
colorations on them made by time and actual fire
service; and there is oue, in the shape of a horse
shoe, very large and much worn, and has upon it
“Knickerbocker Engine 12,” and the dates of this
large number of fronts run all the way down to the
time of the disbandment of the old department
in May, 1565.
A small number of these fronts are lor foremen
and assistants.
There arealso a large number of brass trumpets,
and one of copper, and, through these mouthpieces,
“ many a time and oft,” has the words “ let ber go,”
“ now for them, boys.” “ fast, fast,” etc., etc., been
conveyed to the self-sacrificing followers of their
various pet machines. There is also a leather
bucket, which has done its duty, and bears upon its
aide “1805,”
There is an old fire-cap with “Fifth District-
Pearl Hose, 28. J. 0.” upon it.
There are also several engineers’ fronts.
There is a front of a policeman s cap, marked
"Registered Fire Escape” upon it. A set of hy
drant companies fronts comes in next for inspec
tion, side by side with torch-boys’ fronts, bearing
on them "Niagara 4.” A roll-case of Hose Com
pany No. 54. and one of Hose Company No. 58, next
greet the visitor, and they face on opposite sides
of the room. A glass case, containing a burned and
battered fire-cap, parts of a hose, the butt, the brass
nozzle of the pipe, remnants of the boots, and these
sad and silent relics are all that was found of poor
Fireman James K. Laurie, who was killed at the fire
in the City Assembly Rooms, on December 20th,
1854,
The visitor next sees the two side pieces of old
Hook and Ladder No. 14.
There are three working models of trucks, “Water
Tower No. 2 ” and Engine Company No. 32’s ten
der, which are all very beautiful.
Mr. Smith has also certificates of membership in
the Department, of his grandfather, dated July 13
1816, and his discharge certificate from the Com
mon Council, dated August 10. 1826, and a certificate
of membership of Eli White, bearing date of October
9, 1809.
Upon the west side wail can be seen an original
picture of the old John street Methodist Church.
There is probably no greater collection of the old
Volunteer Fire Department relics in this city, ex
cept those in the rooms of the old Volunteer Fire
Department Association.
BILLIARDS.
Assistant Foreman Sfegmann, of Engine Company
No. 2, (genial “Wally” Brown's company) and
Engineer Birkett, of the same company, have a
great deal of rivalry existing between them relative
to the individual merits of their pool playing
qualifications. 6
There is no question that both men are “ANo. 1”
players, but Birkett insists that he can beat the
assistant foreman, and he also can give him the
second shot beside, “and walk right away with
him every time.”
This, the assistant foreman, with forcible empha
sis, denies, and asserts in the most positive manner
that he can beat Birkett “ right out of his boots ’’
and give him five balls to start with.
There will be an open match made between these
two “experts” before a great while, of which due
notice will be given in the Dispatch, and the prizes
to be contended for are the fire department cham
pionship and a very fancy and valuable billiard
cue.
The assistant foreman says that, after his success
ful squelching of Birkett in the proposed match, he
will accept a challenge for another match from any
man in the uniformed force of the department, from
the chief down, for any sum, not to exceed $5,000,
and now here is an excellent chance for the “boys”
to have a good time, win honor and fame, and also
to gather in some shekels.
TRIALS.
The Board met yesterday morning and held the
following trials;
Fireman Lawrence Royno’ds, of Engine Company
No. 18, was charged with being absent without
leave for four hours and fifty-five minutes, on Feb
ruary 16th.
He was found guilty and fined five days’ pay.
Fireman Andrew McDevitt, of Engine Company
No. 8, was charged with not responding to an alarm
of fire on the sth lust.
He was also found guilty and fined the loss of
five days’ pay.
THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
Next Friday will witness another annual election
in the history of the above association. One <’oo 1
thing, however, marks the event as being worthy of
NEW YORK DISPATCH. FEBRUARY 21, 1886.
notx». It is tho fact that the candidates on bdth
tickets will be rm de up of men wh<r, in point o,
character and ability, will in every respect insure
the future success oi the organization. It is a mat
ter of regret that there should be any opposition
on the head of the ticket. It ffsoms that many
members of the association were irstler the impres
sion that Mr Decker would not again be a cantSidato
for re election?, and acting «pon that idfeft they held
a caucus, and placed Mr. Michael Crane in nomina
tion for the position of president. Last year Mr.
Crane was the principal support of Mr. Decker, arics
that is what confuses many <?f the members whe*
are friendly to both of the gentlemen. It may as
well be stated that before accepting their nomina
tion, Mr. Crane instated that the committee should
wait upon Mr, Decker and ascertain il he was again
to be a candidate for the position of president, and
if so, to ask him if he would state tho committee
whether he would present himself as a candidate
in 1887.
The committee, it seems, were unable to exact a
promise from Mr. Decker as to what action he might
take in the future, saying that ho had no right to
bind the association as to their wishes inthe premi
ses. The committee thereupon called another
meeting of the members, and made out a ticket to
be headed by Mr. Crance for tho office of president
for the ensuing year.
No officer can be balloted forat this election whose
name was not placed in nomirtntion at the special
meeting recently held at Clarendon Hall. A-ny in
spector who would certify to the election of any such
officer would subject himself to trial and expulsion,
according to article 3, section 2 of the by-laws, which
are equally binding with the provisions of the third
section of article 1 of tho constitution. This,
therefore, will set at rest tho stories so extensively
circulated about a third ticket being placed in the
field on the day of election. It must also be borne
in mind that no officer can take his seat as such,
unless he be a member of the mutual aid, class in'
good standing at the time of his election.
Another difficulty, it would seem, presents itself
at this time. The constitution gives to each candi
date the right to select an inspector of election, and
that matter was overlooked. It can be settled by
each of the presidential candidates selecting in
spectors. Good feeling has been manifested so fir
in the canvass, and we trust that it may continue
throughout to the end of the campaign.
The Board of Directors met during the past week,
and among other matters of business brought be
fore it they dropped a considerable number of
members from tho roll for non-payment of dues. A
check was also received by them from Treasurer
Crane, of the Barbecue Committee, amounting to
the sum of $1,050. There is still a further amount
to come from the members to the crodit of that
fund.
Mr. Ferris, the Secretary of the Ball Committee,
has been directed to notify all members who are de
linquent for ball tickets to make returns immedi
ately, as the list is to be presented to the associa
tion of all members in arrears, at its noxt regular
meeting.
BROOKLYN FIRE NOTES.
TRANSFEBS—MEETINGS—DEATHS—GO3SIP.
GREAT NUMBER OF TRANSFERS..
The number of transfers occurring in the depart
ment are becoming more numerous of late than at
any other period since the organization of the paid
force. The claim that thesd ehanges are being made
for political purposes is denied at headquarters, and
it is claimed that the influence possessed by fire
men generally does not'ftmbunt in the aggregate to
300 votes. During the week Commissioner Ennis
ordered the transfer of Foreman Van Cott, of En
gine 13, to Engine No. 2, vice Finn, who assumes
command of Truck 5; and Captain Koiler, of Truck
4, has been ordered to duty with Engine 13. On
Wednesday last, Morgan, of Engine 9, was trans
ferred to the “Seth Low,” and his place will be now
filled by Engineer Reardon, formerly of Engine 10.
The latter is one of the pluckiest firemen in the de
partment, and is possessed of far more intelligence
concerning fire duty than many of our present
foremen.
Head, of Engine 24, was transferred, on Thursday
last, to Truck 4, and Rhoades, of the latter com
pany, was ordered to duty with the Furman street
company.
NOT IN GOOD TASTE.
The presentation of a badge of office to Commis
sioner Ennis is viewed with anything but favor by
quite a number of the members of the force. It
is claimed that those only who were desirous of
obtaining favor with the new Commissioner
entered into the spirit of the affair, and it is further
asserted that a growing system of favoritism is
rapidly developing at headquarters. This fact is
significant.
A DIFFERENT CASE.
Quito an agreeable affair occurred at Greenpoint,
on Monday night last, in which Fireman McGarry
took a somewhat prominent part. The numerous
friends of the latter, who has been but recently ap
pointed to duty with Truck No. 6, assembled in the
parlors of Frank O’Keefe, on Greenpoiut avenue,
and after inveigling McGarry into their midst sur
prised him with a present of a handsome fire hat.
Inscribed on a silver plate on the back of the hat
appeared the following: “Presented to George
McGarry, by his friends, February 15, 1886.” The
presentation speech was delivered by Mr. Joseph
Ross, and was fittingly responded to by the recipi
ent. Later in the oveniug a supper was discussed,
after which singing and dancing was indulged in
and a good time generally was inaugurated.
A NEW NOZZLE.
Chief Breslin, of tho New York Fire Department,
visited Brooklyn, on Tuesday last, for the purpose
of exhibiting a new nozzle, for use in extinguishing
fires between decks and when occurring on board
vessels. Chief Smith, District Engineers Minard
and Dale, together with Captains Duff and Farrei
were present during the exhibition. The contri
vance, first placed in use, resembles somewhat the
ordinary garden sprinkler, and although it cannot
be said to be a new idea, it was nevertheless shown
to be a very valuable addition to the present means
for extinguishing fires on shipboard.
Chief Breslin likewise exhibited a new shut-off
nozzle, which claimed the attention of those pres

THE PROVISION AWARDS.
Bids for the regular annual provisions for the
department, were received during the week and
awarded by Commissioner Ennis as follows: Feed
and bedding, etc., to Thomas Chyne, of the Western
District. M. Gaffney, of the Eastern District, will
furnish tho necessary supply of wood aud coal.
A PICAYUNE ECONOMY.
The Commissioner has expressed a wish that
members of the force exercise more economy in the
use of material furnished at the various bouses.
Ho refers more particularly to brooms, and the boys
are now compelled to sweep as clean with an old
as with a new broom, despite the old adage in favor
of the latter.
THE REPAIR YARD,
The sale of the repair y&rd and shops is being
again agitated, aud this time it is to be hoyed that
soma definite arrangement may be made to rid
Myrtle avenue of the unsightly buildings now in
use by the repair force,
THE ENGINE OF THE FUTURE,
It is proposed to add one engine and a Hayes ex
tension truck to the number ot apparatuses now in
use. As the La France Engine Company has of
fered to place an engine of their manufacture on
trial, it is claimed that the offer should be at once
accepted. It is certain that the /..moßkeag, while
admitted by all to be a substantial and trustworthy
engine, is, nevertheless, lacking in certain essential
qualifications which are claimed to be possessed by
the La France engine. Superintendent Lynch and
Commander Connell have carefully examined the
latter apparatus and do not hesitate to pronounce
it tho fire-engine of tho future,
FIRES.
During a fire on Tuesday last, the companies of
the Eastern District were called upon to do their
level best in order to prevent the progress of what
threatened to become a serious conflagration. Chief
Smith and District Engineer Fanning were in
charge, and to their coolness and forethought is due
the fact that the flames were subdued before much
damage was done. During the progress of the fire
an explosion of hot air occurred, and several mem
bers of Engine Company No. 18 narrowly escaped
serious injury. On Wednesday night last a fire was
discovered in the Wall House, on Montague street.
Engine Company No. 5 was dispatched to the scene
and fearing a possible spread of the fire it was de
cided to pull a second alarm. This brought Chiefs
Nevins and Smith, accompanied by District Engi
neers Minard, Dale and Cunningham, to the spot
After a careful survey, the fire was finally con
trolled, and the companies ordered to •• take up.”
Chief Smith made the unprecedented time of four
teen minutes from his headquarters to the scene of
the fire on this occasion.
THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
The Volunteer Firemen’s Association of the W
D., held their regular monthly meeting on Wednes
day night last. The paying of assessments and
dues interfered somewhat with the transaction of
business, owing to the slowness of the financial sec
retary, and to the impatience of the crowd. At nine
o’clock the meeting was called to order, and after
the usual preliminaries, a call for the reports of va
rious committees was made. The result of the late
bail was flattering indeed, the total sum thus far
realized amounting to $939, with 2€6 tickets as yet
unpaid for. J
It is confidently expected that between $1 300 and
$1,400 will be paid into the Treasurers hands after
the final settlement is effected with those responsi
ble for the sale of tickets. This too despite the
army of croakers. President Courtney, in a stirring
speech, tendered his thanks to the entire association
for the decorous manner in which they behaved
upon the occasion of the ball. He also briefly re
viewed the history of the organization since its in
ception. The Judge dwelt somewhat on the dis
graceful fact that certain members were wont to ex
press their dissatisfaction of being called upon to
pay a small assessment on the death of a member
He then announced tho sudden taking off of Mr
Michael Bennett, of Engine No. 19, whose funerai
took place on Monday last. Bennett was an excel
lent fireman, aud upon the disbandment of the
Volunteer force was appointed as driver of Engine
No. 4 of the paid force. A committee was appointed
to draft resolutions deploring the loss of Mr Ben
nett and ordered to adjourn for that purpose to the
ante-room. While awaiting thoir return an effort
was made to have a member elected to fill the
vacaihcy in the Board of Directors caused by the
election to treasurer of Thomas Dixon, of Hose No. 9.

SELLING OLEOMARGARINE FOR BUTTER.
W'hen John Bock, a grocery clerk, was called to
plead to the charge ®f selling oleomargarine for
butter, his counsel' put in the qualified plea of
guilty, but ignorance of the stuff he was selling.
Justice Kilbreth ordered a plea of not guilty to be
entered.
J. R. Wheeler, said- he entered the grocery store
where defendant was clerk aud asked for a quarter
of a pound ot tea. He saw a k«b of butter marked
twenty-live oeuta-a.pound and bought half a pound,
and put a portion in a bottle. There was no brand
of oleomargarine on the tub.
John K. Grey, another butter inspector said he
was with Wheeler when the butter was bought. Ho
couldn’t say whether the tub was marked “Rolls'
or “ Rolls of butter 25 cents.”
The chemist wliO' analysed the stuff said it was
pure fat.
Defendant said, he had been clerk in the grocery
store corner of Broome and Suffolk streets, three
months. Tho boss purchased the stock and good
will 1 of the business on the 21iit of November. Two
tubs of butter, were in the purchase; this was one of
them. He sold the article for butter, supposing it
to be butter.
The boss took the stand and said: Be had pur
chased the store on the 19th of November. There
were two-tubs in stock - ; one had the sign on it,
“ Rolled butter, 25 cents.” tie supposed it was but

LUCKY, INSTEAD OF A DAY IT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN YEARS.
Mr, John Flick married about six months ago.
Since then John and Mary have not lived very
agreeably together. They separated. She sued
John for separation and alimony. She asked the
court to put him under bail to fulfill these obliga
tions. The order was granted, and in default of
$2,000 bail he was lodged in Ludlow street jail. She
was afraid he would leave the city.
Motion was made yesterday to discharge the
young man from jail. Counsel eaid he had been all
his life in the city and had no other place to go to.
To keep him under $2,000 bail would be to keep the
young man in prison lor life. He should be dis
charged.
Judge Barrett, looking at the papers, said ho saw
nothing to justify the incarceration of the accused.
The affidavit said he “repeatedly threatened to
go to sea; often said he would go to Germany.”
That was all.
Counsel for the woman said, after be-ing married
five months he lost all respect for his wife. Five or
six weeks after tho marriage he abused her a dozen
times aud threatened to go to Germany, where he
was born. Ha admitted to choking and assaulting
her.
Judge Barrett said there was not a word of that
in the affidavits.
Counsel for the woman said he did not draw the
affidavits, and asked time to amend.
The motion was denied, and the man was dis
charged.
He was lucky to be confined only one night in
Ludlow street Jail; it might have been years.

MOTHER.
1 “ On the 11th of this month were you assaulted?”
asked the Court of Dora Huber, a middle-aged
woman.
“ Yes, sir, by the prisoner at the bar.”
The accused, Wm.JT. Handerdorff, was a man prob
ably nearing fifty.
“ What did he assault you with?”
t “He struck mo with his fist and kicked me, and
> gave me these black eyes.”
“ What reason had he for assaulting you?”
i “None; we had together soveQ
I years.”
“£ho got in liquor,” said the old man, “and
called my dead mother a w . I warned her if she
called my mother that again I would strike her,
„ and she and ber two daughters got a hold of me,
’ and I got ibe worst of it. ” Here the old man put up
I his hand and felt if a big plaster still held on to the
( back of his head. “ They went,” he continued, “to
their father in New Jersey.”
“ I« her husband living?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“And she was living with you?”
i “Yes, sir.”

John Barrett will remember February 19, and
Morris Swartz won’t forget Barrett in some time.
i Swartz came into court with bis two thumbs near
ly bit off, and Barrett left the court to servo two
months en the Island, a month for each tbumb.
Swartz said Barrett came into his place of busi
, fifiSßon tho l?th inotftnt, intoxicated, three times.
The third time he assaulted him, got the right
thumb in his mouth and bit it, and then the other
thumb ho bit clean through to the bone. He hal
loed for assistance to take him off.
“ How did Mr. Barrett get his finger bit ?” asked
counsel.
“He put his finger in my mouth to tear my
mouth apart.”
Defendant took the stand and said he had been in
the employ of Mr. Swartz two months. He did not
feel well and he drank some. He got tired of his
boss and wanted to be free of him. The third
time he went in he told him to get out, and hauled
off and struck him in the jaw, and then he defended
himself. His thumb was grabbed first and his
mouth was torn. He said he had never been ar
rested.
The Court sent him to the Penitentiary for two
months.

the daily papers informed us that the evening be
fore there was a dangerous fire at Sause’a dancing
academy, Adelphi Hall, Fifty-second street and
Broadway, and that much consternation was felt
and exhibited by the festive crowd present. The
fact of the matter is that there was no alarm of fire,
no consternation, and that the slight smoke came
from a cigarette which had been carelessly thrown
on the floor. Soirees are given every Tuesday even

James Coughlin is bartender for Mrs. Kolly.
There is a desire on the part of some one to super
cede her. and she gave James orders not to allow
any one to take measurement of the fixtures.
Pierce O’Connor said he went iu the saloon to go
to to tha urinal. He sat down and defendant ran
around “and lifted him up,” shook him by the
coat, and said: “Who are you, anyhow?” The first
intimation he had of Coughlin’s presence was the
man’s closed fist coming in contact with his nose.
No person had sent him to take measurement of the
fixtures. He didn’t go behind the counter.
Coughlin said he was bartender in the place. His
boss, Mrs. Kelly, told him not to allow anyone be
hind the bar. O’Connor came in and had a drink
of whiskey and paid for it; then went to the cigar
case and measured it. Next he went behind the
bar.
“Did you kick him ?” asked counsel.
“No.”
“Did you knock him down ?” asked the Court.
“Yes, sir. I wanted to put him out, I gave him
a shove and knocked him down.”
“You put him out without knocking him down?”
said counsel.
“People will get excited onoe in a while,” said
O’Connor.
“$20,” said the Court.

IT WAS ON A VALISE.
Robert Newcombe, a gentlemanly looking youmz
fellow, was brought to the Tombs yesterday
charged with stealing a very nice valise from a
drunken man in a saloon in Liberty street. The
proprietor said the valise was given to him by the
intoxicated man for safe keeping
Prisoner was asked what he had to say to the
charge.
“This party,” said Newcombe, “ran across me
this morning.”
“ Where do you live ?” asked the Justice.
“ No. 441 Washington street.”
“You never met this man?”
“ No.”
“ When did you meet him ?”
' “ Between 11 and 12 o’clock. He was looking for
a pawnbroker s shop, and he wanted to pledge his
valise to go home. I gave him my address and
name and loaned him a dollar to go home. He
could call when in the city and get his valise.”
There was no complainant, and the prisoner was

THE NEW MEMORIAL.COMMITTEE.
The delegates elected to the Memorial Committee
of this city and county, for the ensuing year,
assembled in the Armory of the Sixty-ninth Regi
ment, on Monday evening last. General M. T.
McMahon presided. The-following officers, for the
ensuing year, were unanimausly elected : Chair
man, W. A. Copp, Post 140; First Vice-Chairman,
George J. Wenck, Post 307.; Second Vice-Chairman,
John W. Dick, Post 2J; Recording Secretary,.E. J.
Atkinson. Post 143; Corresponding Secretary, G. W.
O’Neill, Post 75; Treasurer, N. W. Day, Post 135.
Captain Theodore Feldstein, of Post 32, was also
unanimously elected Grand Marshal, but declined,
aud Commander C. H. Lutzens, of Post 300, was
then elected to the position.
Comrade William a. Copp, the chairman-elect of
the Memorial Committee, is a member of Lafayette
Post, and has been its Commander. At the break
ing out of the war he was seventeen years of age,
and was attending school. He enlisted in the Fifty
first Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, aud
served his term of enlistment, nine months. He
then resumed his studies, and soon afterward en
tered Yale College, from which he graduated in
1869. During his term at Yale he ranked as one of
the first athletes, and all through his four years’
course was a member of the University crew. The
law was his chosen profession, and he has built up
a large and lucrative practice in this city. He was
an aid on the staff of Past Commauder-in-Chief
Beath, and a delegate to the last National Encamp
ment. Mr. Copp’s father also served in the army,
as a member of the Thirty-second Massachusetts
Volunteers, and is buried in the Antietam Cemo:
tery.
HORACE GREELEY’S DISCIPLES.
At a regular meeting of Horace Greeley Post, on
the 15th inst., resolutions expressing the sorrow of
the members at the death of the late Gen. Hancock,
aud tendering their sympathy to his wife and fam
ily, were unanimously adopted.
At the same meeting Dine recruits were mus
tered, and one joined by transfer. The “old prints"
say they will turn out one hundred strong on Me
morial Day, and they intend to visit the grave of
Horace Greeley aud decorate the monument, which
they, with others of their craft, erected to his
memory.
A GOOD SHOWING.
The first annual report of the Bureau of Employ
ment and Relief, which is under the auspices of the
Memorial Committee of the City and County of New
York, shows that the good results hoped for when
the movement was inaugurated have not been dis
appointed. During the year, 312 comrades, belong
ing to various posts,registered for employment. Of
this number many obtained permanent, and others
temporary, employment. In addition to this, five
99rar a .'le3 who were discharged from their positions
were reinstated through the efforts of the commit
tee. Admission to various hospitals was secured
for 47 sick and destitute comrades; 231 veterans
who were applicants for admission to National or
State Homes, were temporarily cared for until the
necessary records and transportation had been fur
nished them; the burial of 137 honorably discharged
veterans, who died in destitute circnnißtapces, xyag
looked after, aud the necessary evidence put in
shape to enable the undertaker to obtain the allow
ance prescribed by law in such cases; 740 pension
and other claims against the government were ta
ken in hand, of which 294 have already been satis
factorily settled; the bodies of four veterans were
removed from Potter’s Field and interred in the sol
diers’ plot in Cypress Hills Cemetery, and 1.437 tick
ets for meals and w<*w
veterans, The total office expenses for the yeai\ in
cluding Clerk hire, printing, stationery, postage,
etc., amounted to only $707.50. This is an excellent
showing and illustrates the great amount of good
which such a bureau can accomplish.
THE SHELLBACKS ABE HAPPY.
“As it is some time since you have heard from
me,” writes Comrade Jennings, of Naval post, “per
mit me to inform the readers of the Dispatch that
the •shelbacks’ are flourishing and happy. The
good ship is as staunch as ever, doesn’t leak a drop,
and is booming along with studding sails set. There
is a good hand at the wheel, and we are making fair
weather of it. Our crew is increasing at every muster
and we are about to introduce a new element into
naval craft, viz: A Ladies’ Auxiliary Corps, for the
organization of which we give credit to Post Com
mander Jones, who is a favorite with the ladies, and
has succeeded in securing a number that will re
flect honor upon the post. Mrs. Denison, the De.
partment Inspector, will probably be the President."
A COMRADE’S MISFORTUNE.
The terrible misfortune which befell Past Senior
Vice Com. “ Denny ” Sullivan a few days ago is not
generally known in G. A. R. circles, but as garbled
accounts are in circulation, the Dispatch deems it
best to give the true facts. On Tuesday evening
last Comrade Sullivan started out to attend the re
ception and ball given by Adam Goss Post. He in
vited his wife to accompany him, but she declined
on the plea of ill healte. The festivities at Goss
Post were kept up untij a fairly reasonable slice of
Wednesday morfiing had been utilized, and then the
comrade started for home. Not wishing to disturb
his household, he noiselessly climbed the stairs,
opened the door of his room, and stood speechless
and motionless, as though transformed to stone.
His wife was there, but she was not alone. Two
young and good-looking strangers were also in the
room. Comrade Sullivan closed the door noiseless
ly before his presence was discovered and hastened
down stairs. His first impulse was to seek revenge,
but, on reflection, he determined on salf-destruc
tion. Ho found a bottle labeled "spiritusfrumenti,"
and knowing, as every old soldier does, the deadly
n iture of this compound, swallowed a tumblerful.
The dose he had taken affected his brain, and he de
cided to interview the strangers. He again ascend
ed the stairs and entered his apartment. He
“sized up" the intruders, and concluded that be
had better not make a disturbance, as their united
weight evidently amounted to eighteen or twenty
pounds. Just then the strangers woke up, and
seeing Denny, set up such a hullabaloo that he fled’
from the house, He is supposed to be in hiding in
this city. It isjsaid the t-wo strangers intend to join
the Sons of Veterans in twelve or fifteen years from
now.
CORCORAN’S NEW DRUM CORPS.
At the last regular encampment of General
Michael Corcoran Post, the Mutual Drum Corps of
this city asked permission to adopt the name of
“porcoran Drum Corps, G. A. R.,” and to be
regularly attached to the post. The members of
the corps presented themselves in a splendid uni
form and with new drums and fifes. They pro
ceeded to give the veterans a sample of their pro
ficiency, which was all that could be asked. When
they struck up ” The Girl I Left Behind Me,” the
old fellows of No. 427 became as skittish as young
colts, and the performance was heartily applauded
Arrangements mutually satisfactory to the post
and corps were soon agreed upon, and the trustees
of both organizations were authorized to sign the
necessary papers.
COMMANDER HALL'S RECEPTION.
The preparations for the reception, entertainment
and ball in honor of Department Commander H
Clay Hail, are being pushed with energy, and the
Commanders and comrades of the Brooklyn and
city posts are entering into the affair with a spirit
which cannot fail to make it an immense success.
In addition to the list of prolessional and amateur
talent which we gave last Sunday, other prominent
artists will take part in the entertainment. The
reception will take place at Irving Hall, on the
evening of March 8. Grand Army and military
guests are requested to appear in uniform. J
ENTRY OF THE BABY POST.
Comrade Max Reece informs the Dispatch that
Winfield Scott Hancock Post will be mustered in
on next Saturday evening, at the Twelfth Regiment
Armory. A public installation of officers will
follow the muster. Comrade Reece has been ap
pointed to act as officer of the day to the mustering
Officer., A. Q. M. General J. 8. Cavendy. He says
that the comrades of this city and Brooklyn will I
make the members of Hancock Post very happy by
attending the muster and installation. Over twenty
recruits will be mustered, and the new post will
start off with a total membership of sixty or seventy J
The drum corps of Farragut and Wadsworth posts
will be in attendance, and the ceremonies will be
well worth witnessing.
