BEFORE COMMISSIONER PORTER.
DRUNK AS WELL AS SICK.
Cooney, charged with intoxication, Baid the night
before ho was sick. This was his short tour in the
morning, and after doing it he came in the house,
went up stairs, and failed to answer return roll
call. He got so sick then he couldn’t come down
to report. He was very sick, citizens could testify
to that.
«* Then you mean to say you were not under the
influence of liquor, bo much so as to be unfit for
duty ?” said the Commissioner.
•• Instead of going to breakfast when I came in, I
thought an hour would do me good lying down."
•• He was absent at return roll call," said Captain
Berg hold, " and I sent the doorman up to find out
the cause. The doorman couldn’t find him. I went
up and found him lying alongside his bed. I got
him up, but he fell down. He said he had been
drinking; I told him to get up and go to bed.”
•• Was he perfectly conscious?"
“He gave the proper answers to my questions,
but he was unable to stand up.”
•• Did you smell liquor on him ?’*
••Yes, sir.”
•• When did you see him next ?”
“He reported sick at one o’clock, and the doctor,
in the afternoon, ordered him to report for duty at
six o’clock the same day.”
“You are accustomed, from the number of per
sons that you have seen, to know whether he was
under the influence of liquor?”
•• As well as the majority."
•• Do you know if he had been on the sick list ?”
‘•Since appointed—he is a new man—he has been
several times.”
“Four weeks previous I was sick from dizziness
in my head,” said the officer.
“Have you any questions to ask the captain ?”
••No. I took a glass of brandy and ginger; I was
Sick the night before.”
•• What was the odor that you smelled?"
••Whisky,” replied the captain.
•• Sergeant, what do you know ?”
••No more than what the captain has stated,” re
plied the sergeant. “I was present."
“Did you perceive the odor of liquor upon him?"
••Yes, sir. This was a quarter past eight in the
morning, when he should have reported for return
roll call."
“Was there any evidence of liquor on him when
he came in from post?” asked the Commissioner.
“No.”
“Fifteen minutes afterward you found him so
drunk that he couldn’t stand ?”
“Yes, sir."
“I have not been accustomed to liquor; I never
drank it before," said Cooney. “It was my first
drink, that morning.”
*• Anything further to say ?” asked the Commis
sioner.
“The man that relieved me knows I was sober,"
•aid the officer.
•• Have you everknown the officer to be under the
influence of liquor?” asked the Commissioner.
“No, sir," replied the captain.
LOUNGING ON A LOUNGE.
Sitting on a lounge in Mrs. Eliza Kerns’s shanty,
at 165th street, was the charge against Carey, of the
Thirty-second Precinct. He said he was guilty, but
he was in on police duty. The aqueduct shaft was
& few feet from the old lady’s shanty, and they let
go off A roaring blast a hundred feet below ground
that shook the shanty as if a volcano were rocking
it. It knocked the delf off the shelves, tore the )
plaster from the ceiling and shook a plate out of f
tho old lady’s hand. The shanty would have gone
over, but it was three times the length and breadth
of its bight. He was stationed at the and
when the blast went off, the old lady catUo.tunning
out, distracted, and pulled him in to be smothered
with her. As soon as Carey was with her she be- 1
.came more composed and started on her rosary <
M’ he la y on the lounge looking at her. She was ,
getting .temporal and spiritual protedtfon, find his 1
presence was .Mi-sufficient to give her mind assur- i
f *r in,ate '
” SOta aS 011 hlB feeG )
_ . - said th s shock was an hour
before he went in the shanty and (Ot!Q<) the oifiCST «
stretched out on the lounge. There was no plasief <
on the floor, no appearance of broken dishes
around. The old lady was seated in her rocking
chair; the officer lying on the lounge opposite. <
Tho officer made the same explanation theq that h$ i
tides now. But he sa\y no signs of receht fallen
plaster, not did he hear any extra great shock of a
blast that day. 1
- The offi?er said the old woman was in spasms; ho 1
thought she would die.
The captain said the two were as cool as fresh 1
cucumbers. i
“He jumped off the car," said the officer.
“I wasn t on thecarat the time," was the cap
tain’s rejoinder.
•• Were you present when the blast went off ?’’ 1
asked the captain. 1
“I wa.=,” replied the officer.
“ Was it properly covered ? ’
“How could I know," replied the officer, “ a bun- 3
dred feet below ground. You saw the state of the i
woman. I didn't go in to put in time. It was ten
minutes of six—relieving time.”
Old Mrs Kerns said she kept two boarders in her
shanty, which was also a store. When the blast
came the dishes tumbled off the Bhelf, the table
kicked up its legs and keeled over, the very dish in ■
her hand was shook out of it and fell in a hundred
pieces on the floor. The old shanty rocked like a i
cradle, and she thought the day of judgment had
come. She ran out to hear if Gabriel s trump was
•-blowing, and, seeing the “ peeler,” she pulled him
in for protection from that fearful blast that is pre
dicted to come. When she got the “peeler” in she
wasn’t so afraid that the end of the world had come.
It was an awful blast. The cups and saucers fell;
then the Virgin Mary came down at her feet. Shu ,
was within ten feet of the shaft. Her old man was
ninety years of age.
•• Who have I in my old age to call on for protec
tion, but an officer?” exclaimed the old lady.
The captain said the officer’s place was to be at
the shaft, to prevent men going down too soon af
ter a blast. But two days before two men were
smothered going down too soon after a blast.
DID NOT DISCOVER A BURGLARY.
Brown’s post is at 158th street. The two win
dows of a grocery store were smashed in by two
drunken tramps, and although there is an electric
light near it. Brown did not see it. One of the
tramps was so drunk that he did not know how to
get out after he got in; the other tramp got out and
off with eight cans of peaches. That would be one
good day’s feed on dessert, and one of the cans
could be used to work the “ growler.”
The officer’s excuse was that it was a dark stormy
night, he had a long post, and couldn’t see the
•mashed in windows.
A GAS DUN.
Gibbons, of the Ninth Precinct, was brought up
on a dun for $lB, a gas bill that his landlord said
was due him. According to the facts, as stated by
both sides, the case was with the officer. The offi
cer’s wife rented apartments from the complainant.
They were to pay so much a month for gas. They
were in nine months and no gas bill was presented
lor payment. Then the officer and landlord had a
talk over the payment of tho gas, and the landlord
said if he would pay a dollar and a half a mouth
they would call it square. Thereafter, in addition
to the rent, the dollar and a half a month was paid
with the rent for months, until he left the bouse.
The landlord said the officer was dispossessed; the
officer said he wasn’t. The landlord gave receipts
for rent, but not for the gas bills.
“ Did you give receipts for this payment of the
gas?” asked tho Commissioner.
“ No. I got a dollar and a half additional. I gave
no receipt for that. There was no written agree
ment ; his wife hired the house,”
There was a grudge between the two, and in this
way the landlord undertook to get revenge when he
couldn't get it in a Civil Court.
SHIRKING DUTY.
Sergeant Cross stood near a stable at Fourth ave
nue and Eighteenth street from 4:15 to 4:55, and
officer Foy did not come near where he stood. After
he left the vicinity of the stable to go over Foy’s
post, the officer came after him from the stable.
The officer brought three witnesses that saw him
patroling his post when the sergeant stood opposite
the stable, and thought he had him treed there.
HIS FOOT IN IT.
Klingjof the Seventeenth Precinct, said he had
his loot on the sill of a butcher’s store. Rounds
man Waterman Baid one foot was over the sill of tho
door. Kling was looking at a Mason c picture. The
butcher said the officer stood outside, both feet on
the street side of the sill.
TEN FEET OFF.
Franklin, Nineteenth Precinct, was ten feet off
post.
LOST HIS HORSE.
Sturges, Second Precinct—up in the goat region
—lost his horse. The roundsman found the horse
on Morris’ dock looking placidiy on at the boys fish
ing in the Hudson from the dock.
The officer admitted that the horse eloped from
him, but there was no negligence on his part.
While ringing the box alarm the horse started off
on a canter and left him in the lurch. He was two
hours looking for his runaway horse.
THINKS THE ROUNDSMAN MISTAKEN.
“Not guilty,” said O’Laughlin, when the charge
was read of being off post in front of the liquor
store, No. 207 Canal street. Roundsman Weigan
couldn’t say how long the officer was there. He
stood seventy-five feet off, and saw O'Laughlin and
the officer together on that post drinking something.
He was too far off to catch the smell or see the
color, and the officer got back on his post before
he caught up to him. He denied being in Canal
street. It was a question of mistaken identity.
The roundsman said Officer Donohue admitted
that O’Laughlin was with him on the sidewalk
drinking water.
O’Laughlin said he would prove he was not there,
asd got an adjournment.
A HAZY CASE.
Norval was found in the liquor store, corner of
Watts and Sullivan streets. He went into the
toilet room, he said.
The roundsman said he saw him turn into Watts
street and disappear. H«e went In the saloon almost
immediately after him; his mouth was wet, and
he was nibbling at a sandwich half finished, and
his gloves were on.
The officer said he was in the toilet chamber five
minutes.
The roundsman said the officer was not in the
place three minutes.
TRYING TO CATCH A CRANK.
Gray was not on post for three quarters of an
hour, nor did he relieve on his relieving point. He
a boy came up wet, shivering and crying from
tho foot of West Houston street. The boy said he
stood on the string-piece of the dock, when Reddy,
a half-witted boy, threw him in the river. He took
the boy’s name and address, and then went on the
dock to look for Reddy. But Reddy knew he was
> after him and hid himself under the wharf, and
wearied him out. It was customary for Reddy to
, pitch youngsters off the dock, and make them learn
, to swim if they didn’t know how.
’ Nobody ever knew of any one that Reddy took by
I the nap of the neck and the seat of the rest, and
. pitched in the river had been drowned. Somebody
always saved them, or they managed to sputter to
- to the dock.
PUT HIS FOOT IN IT.
1 Hodge, of the Thirteenth Precinct, denied being
I in the liquor saloon. No. 31 Attorney street. Ryah
. said he was. The officer eaid a man inside was
reading a letter when he went to the stoop to listen
> to the contents, but couldn t hear him. Meantime
a dog that had taken umbrage to him, as an
evesdropper, came snapping at him, and he made
a rap at It, and his head went in. Just then the
roundsman came along and thought ho was in the
place.
Roundsman Ryan said he saw the officer go up
; Grand street, stop in front of the door and talk,
then go in, then come out. He asked him what he
1 was doing in there. He said chasing a dog. He
asked the barkeeper what the officer was doing in
, there. He said nothing.
•• Did you see me go in?” asked the officer.
“Yes, sir,” replied the roundsman.
“No, sir, you saw me on the stoop. I had no
cause to go in. The dog barked at me and I put
my foot on the stoop, but didn't go in."
“Officer, you have been on the force but a short
time,” said the Commissioner, “ and six complaints
of the same kind seem to pave been made against
you. This is a continuation of complaints of the
same kind and it is time to take warning. It is not
pleasant to have such things recorded against you.”
MR. RANKIN HAD BETTER GET A PERMIT.
James Rankin (citizen) said Officer McCormick, of
the Thirty-first Precinct, threatened to put a nose
on him, June 16th, at 9:30 P. M. He was out taking
a walk with a friend. So was the officer. The offi
cer sat down on a pile of lumber in close proximity
to a girl. The officer thought Rankin was “piping
him off” and threatened to break his nose if he
didn’t go home. >
The officer denied sitting down in the embrace of
a girl and also of threatening to put a nose on
Rankin.
All that Rankin said he desired was that the police
would let him takea night’s stroll around his own
neighborhood without running the risk of being
clubbed. He wanted the officer bound over to keep
the peace. He called a witness to substantiate the
threat made; but he said all the officer said was,
“Where have you been going around all night?”
The officer said he saw the man three or four
times. He asked him what he was doing. Taking
a walk. Remarked that it was a curious time to be
out. If he found him out again he would take him
in and make him explain at the station-house.
If there are many such officers up in the rural
districts, citizens had better go to the Commission
ers for a permit to be out in the evening to take a
walk, the same as they do to carry a pistol, by get
ting a permit from the Mayor.
A SNAP JUDGMENT.
Gibson, of the Nineteeth Precinct, owed Christo
pher Fox $lO for borrowed money, which he re
fused to pay. He said he never borrowed it. But
there was the judgment of the District Court.
The officer said ho was summoned to court on St.
Patrick’s Day. Ho was there and the case was not
called. Judgment was entered on the 19th.
A snap judgment, by what is called an inquest,
was evidently obtained. He did not go to the cost
of $lO to have the case reopened, so Mr. Gibson will
have to pony up and pay the costs. Many queer
things happen in district courts.
SAM. BAILEY’S CROSS FIRE.
Sam. Bailey, Sixth Precinct, owed Mrs. Gambling
$lO6 for board for himself and wife. He gave his
notes, payable $lO a month, for the debt due. Mrs.
Gambling gave Lawyer Mr. Alexander a power, of
attorney to collect the $56 due. He collected S3O
last month, and on the 2d would collect the $26, as
he had an order on the captain to retain that
amount from the pay of the officer.
* This was the muddled up condition of affairs. Her
attorney has the money and she sues the officer.
The attorney says he will pay her the money if she
pays him $lO for services rendered.
Under these circumstances the Commissioner
didn t think a case had been made out against the
officer. She must settle with the lawyer.

A LONG ABSENCE WITHOUT
LEAVE—PROMOTIONS, Etc.
The Board of Fire Commissioners held their regu
lar weekly session Wednesday last, with Commis
sioner Croker in the chair.
i TRIAL—A LONG ABSENCE.
There was only one trial during the session and
that was the case of Engineer Richard D. Hall, of
Engine Company No. 44, who was charged witti
first, being absent without leave for four £onrs and
twenty minutes on June 20th; second, being absent
without leave for sixty-two hours and forty min
utes from 5:20 o’clock P, M, qq the of June un-
Hi S o'clssK a, m. on June 2tki, and third, with be
ing under jhe influence of liquor between 12:20
o’clock P. M. and 5 o’clock P. M. on June
He pleaded guilty to the charges, and when placed
on the stand to testify in his own behalf, said ; “I
was nqt feeling well afid been sick for some
time before these offenses were ebnitaitted. I had
taken four or five drinks and I could not stand
them. With the liquor I also took some quinine
and it went to my head. Regarding my being ab
sent without leave, I thought I was on the sick-list,
for the reason I bad been sick and had so reported.
I cannot swear positively that I was on the sick
list, I thought I was. The liquor and quinine went
to my head and I did not know what I was doing.”
Commissioner Croker—“ You have an awful bad
record (looking at it on the back of the charge and
showing it to Hall). Have you been trying to get
retired ?”
The accused—“ Yes, sir."
Commissioner Croker—•• What is the matter with
you ?”
The accused—" Well, a general breaking up of my
system. lam all broke up.”
Commissioner Croker —“ Well, you don’t look
broken up. You look like a good man for one who
has been so long in the department.* *
The accused—" Well, I am very sorry that this
has occurred, and it will never happen again, I as
sure you."
Commissioner Croker (showing him his record
again)—” Hall, look at that” (it was about three feet
long). “.You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”
The accused—«• I know it, Mr. Commissioner; but
those offenses occurred when I was young and fool
ish (laughter) and didn’t know any better.”
Commissioner Smith—" Sowing your wild oats?”
The accused—-" Yes, sir. I have not been before
the Board since the year 1878, and the case against
me then was not proven, and was dismissed. I
have been very often troubled with malaria, and
quinine is the only thing which helps me. I drink
but little, for it always goes to my head.”
Captain Hamblett—“ Hall did not report for duty
at the time stated in the charges. When he did
come in quarters he was in no condition to run the
engine, so I put another engineer in his place. Hall
had went away and staved away after he had been
granted a sick leave of absence for a short time. He
was a good fireman before this, but he does not ap
pear to be in the best of health, and had frequently
complained of not feel ng very well. I never saw
him under the influence of liquor before. I don’t
know much about him for he has been with me
only a short time.”
Commissioner Croker—" Hall, you know you have
violated the rules of the department. If you were
sick, you should so have reported. There is no ex
cuse for you for having stayed away from your com
pany for so long a time, and then drinking beside.
Suppose every fireman should go away from his
company and do as you did because he had malaria,
why the city would burn down. Now don’t come
here again—that’s all.”
Hall was then found guilty of the charges, and
was fined ten days’ pay, and was ordered to be ex
amined by the medical officers to ascertain his phys
ical ability to do further fire duty.
Hall was appointed in the Department on Octo
ber 23. 1865, and assigned for duty in Engine Com
pany No. 30, and since that time he has had ten
charges preferred against him; he has lost thirty
days’ pay and has been reprimanded twice.

sent in a communication stating that he wished a
new set of buttons, for the reason that he had lost
his buttons which were on his coat, which was also
stolen from the apparatus while in company quar
ters.
It was referred to the chief to investigate into the

In turning the corner of Duane street, the rear of

department matters.
Comrade O. P. Clarke, A. A. G., of tho Department
of New York, was in this city on Thursday last, and
also visited Brooklyn. A thorough investigation of
the affairs of th© Department in both the Assistant
Adjutant-General’s and Assistant Quartermaster-
General s offices has been made by order of Com
mander-in-Chief Burdett. Although the result has
not been officially announced, it is understood that
the affairs of the Department past and present,
were found In a satisfactory condition. So far as
the matters connected with the administration of
Past Department Commander Hall are concerned,
nothing new has been developed, but he receives
the sympathy of comrades generally. One thing is
certain, either the per capita tax must be increased,
or else the expenses of the Department must be
reduced. Under the present system the A. A.
Genera), receives $1,200 per yeah; the A. X. A.
General, $500; the A. Quartermaster-General, $800;
Inspector-General, $400; Chief Mustering-Officer,
S2OO, and Judge-Advocate, S3OO. Then for some
y® ar ? thyg bag been ap anpuaj expenditure ofSCOO
for Comrades NeUmiu and Sutton. The sum of
S6OO has also been appropriated for the Veterans’
Rights Union. The expenses of the Council of Ad
ministration amount to about S6OO yearly; print,
ibg and supplies cost SI,OOO, and an equal sum is
necessary for incidental expenses. Thea taking
into consideration the cost of holding the annual
encampment and printing the proceedings, and
the annual expenditures of the department aihbiint
to more than $7,000.
To offset this there is only the per capita tax,
which amounts to about $6,000 per year. One-fifth
of this goes to National Headquarters, leaving
about $5,000 net revenue from that source- That
leaves the balance and all emergency expenditures,
such as arose in the case of General Grant’s death,
to be met by the sale of supplies, which is yearly
diminishing, or by encroaching on the already de.
pleted reserve funds. It is surprising that the De
partment Encampment, having these facts and fig.
ures before it, did not more thoroughly consider the
matter. At all events, the Department money
should not have been voted away so lavishly with
out making due provision for an increase of
income.
PAST EVENTS.
One of the most enjoyable events of the season
was the excursion of Devin Post, of Brooklyn, to
Oriental Grove on Monday last. The excursion was
au undoubted success and everybody who took
part in it was delighted. Commander Keenan and
Comrades Egney, Hardy, Spaulding, Kiernan, Mar
tin, Riley, Brown, Cowan, McGeehan, Quigley and
others of the committee of arrangements were de
servedly complimented upon the issue of their
labors. Among the guests were Supervisor Garrett

worth, and a large number of comrades belonging
to various New York and Brooklyn posts. An ele
gant collation was served which received so much
attention that it soon disappeared.
The annual festival of George G. Meade Post was
held at Elm Park, on Tuesday last. The comrades
of the post, their families and friends, were present
in full force. Delegations were present from Sedg
wick, McQuade, Farragut, and other posts; also
from the Veteran Zouaves, headed by that noble
Roman, Dr. Duffy, in full uniform. During the
evening, Past Commander A. F. Lawson called the
assemblage to order, and introduced Senior Vice
Commander White, chairman of the literary and
entertainment committee, who called Commander
John J. McConnell to the platform, and in a few
well-chosen words presented him with a gold
mounted sword, a silk sash and an elegant belt.
Commander McConnell made an appropriate re
sponse, after which the sword was baptized in a
manner well known to all veterans. Then the fes
tivities were resumed, and Commander McConnell
and 8. V, Commander White greatly distinguished
themselves by their terpsichorean efforts, making a
particularly fine display in the Virginia reel. They
intend going to dancing-school during the coming
Winter, and under the tuition of Prof. Wallace may
become so expert that the toes of their friends will
not be in constant danger.
Among the other pleasant events of the past week
one of the most notable was the entertainment
given at Voorhis' Hall in Nyack, under the auspices
of Hancock Post of that town. U. 8. Grant Post of
Brooklyn attended in a body. Col. and Mrs. F. D.
Grant were the guests of Past Department Com
mander Merritt, and received their friends at the
mansion of comrade Merritt previous to the enter
tainment.
MUSTER OF HORATIO SEYMOUR POST.
The muster-in and installation of Horatio Sey
mour Post, at Yonkers, on Tuesday evening last,
was an event that will be long remembered by those
who took part in it. The ceremonies took place at
Temperance Hall, under the direction of Kitching
Post. Past Commander John C. Shotts performed
the duties of mustering officer, and Col. J. S. Cav
endy, chief mustering officer of the Department of
the State of New York, acted as installing officer.

After the ceremony, the post then adjourned to

bill of fare was served. After the removal of the
cloth, toasts, speeches, recitations and songs fol
lowed, full of patriotic fervor and old-time remi
niscences of the war. There pervaded a brilliant
sparkle and a close fraternal feeling that was sin

these two commands will celebrate the anniversary
of the first battle of Bull Run, by a reunion at
Rochester, N. Y., on the 21st and 22d insts.
Most of the principal railroads give reduced fares

tenant of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, and the
secretary is Captain Henry L. Achilles ot the same

warm reception, for it contributed many members
to both regiments, and the First New York Veteran
Cavalry was mustered out of service there the last
of July, 1865. The first day’s exercises begin at the
New Osburn House Hall, at 10:30 A. M., and con
clude with a banquet at BP. M. The next day, July

Comrade J. A. Joel, of the Grand Army Gazette,
sailed for Europe on the Guion steamship “ Wyom
ing ” on Tuesday last. A large delegat on from
Morgan Post, also comrades from other posts were
present to wish him a prosperous voyage. Com
mander Sam. Minnes presented the departing com
rade with an elegant gold-headed cane suitably
inscribed, in a few witty remarks. Comrade Joel
was completely taken by surprise, but managed to
thank his friends for the token of their esteem. The
cane was then duly christened in a befitting man
ner, the liquid used for the ceremony being an ex
cellent brand of the Kentucky manufacture. It was
imported by General H. C. King especially for the
occasion. Major Comstock tried to take an observa
tion of the sun through the vessel
fluid and was so overcome that he was nearly
carried out to sea. Fortunately for himself he re
covered in the nick of time and thus escaped the
necessity of walking from England to the United
States. Among the veterans present were Com
mander Minnes, General King, Quartermaster
Wenck and Major Ware, and Comrades Fred. Elliott,
Hill, Treadwell, Whitney, Feldstein, Thum and
others equally well known in G. A. R. circles.

thus refreshed will be reviewed by Capt. Norman and
the members of the Harlem Committee. Then

erans will be supplied with black coffee, bacon and
bread. They will strike tents at seven P. M., and
march to Morningside Park, to view the fireworks.

©iscoverirg a Dead Hat.
TVyO blue-bottle flies.
(From the Sanitarian,)
A gentleman, making a call at the hOttAft 6? a
friend was astonished to find the rooms and pas
sages in confusion, and, on inquiring the cause, was
answered :
‘•Oh, we are very much annoyed here; a rat has
come to fiinsh his existence under the floor of our
large drawing-room. We do not know the exact
place, but we cannot endure the stench any longer,
so have removed the furniture, rolled up the car
pets, and called in the carpenters, who are just be
ginning to take up the floor.”
‘•Now, don’t be too hasty,” said the visitor;
'•you need not pull up more than one board. I
will show you what I mean presently, and mean
while shut down the drawing-room windows, and
close the door.”
He then stepped down into the garden, walked
round to the horse stables, and after a few minutes’
absence came back to the drawing-room with both
hands tightly clasped. Placing himself in the cen
tre of the drawing-room, he opened his hands and
out flew two large blue-bottle flies and buzzed
around the room for a second or two. But pres
ently one of them alighted on a certain plank of the
floor, and was almost immediately followed by the
other.
'* Now, then,” said the visitor, “ take up that
board and I’ll engage that the dead rat will be
found beneath it.”
The carpenters applied their tools, raised the
board, and at once found the cause of the unpleas
ant smell.

WHAT DID THE ARRESTS MEAN?
House No. 136 West Thirty-second street, with
nine inmates, and house No. 137 West Thirty
second street, with seven inmates, were ‘'pullod” on
an affidavit made by Roundsman Chapman, of the
Twenty-ninth Precinct. The sixteen prisoners
were arraigned before Justice Smith, yesterday
morning.
When the first case was called, the Justice asked
Chapman what evidence he had against the women.
The officer said he saw the women at the gate
soliciting, but he was too far off to identify any
one.
They were discharged
In the next case Chapman said the evidence was
as in the other case. He saw women afar off. stand
ing in front of the gate, but was in uniform, and
could not identify them.
They too were discharged.
Were these arrests made as an intimation to get
out a license, or what ?

William J. Clarke drove fourteen-year-old Conrad
Kachige away from the steps of an ice cart, where
he was in danger of being hurt, on Friday after
noon. Kachige was knocked down by a team of horses
attached to a carriage following the ice cart, and
had his ankle sprained. Clarke was arrested. In
the Essex Market Court, Saturday morning, Clarke
said he had no intention to hurt the boy and that
he ran under the horses. He was held in SIOO bail
by Justice Gorman, to await the result of injuries
to the boy.

RICHARD MILLER FINED FOR ATTACKING A
CLERGYMAN.
Richard Miller went to the house of the pastor of
the Catholic Church in Pitt street, while drunk last
Friday night, and demanded to know why his
son had been set back from receiving the sacra
ment of confirmation to-day. He was told by the
reverend gentleman that his son had failed to reach
the point of perfection required. Miller waxed
wroth and struck at the priest twice. Policeman
Farrell, of the Union Market Station, was then re
quested to make Miller go away. He refused to do
so and was arrested. Saturday morning, in the
Essex Market Police Court, Justice Gorman fined
Miller $5, which he paid.

THE BATTLE OF THE MERRIMAC AND MONI
TOR AT MADISON AVENUE.
Now that the Sullivan-Mitchell fight has been de
clared off,there appears to be but one battle for pat
riotic citizens to witness on Monday—the interest
ing engagement and exceedingly lively set-to be
tween the Merrimac and Monitor, at the Madison
avenue panorama. It is not understood that the
police propose to interfere with this fight, which,
though a painting only, is more real and earnest
than many of the so-called battles that have been
fought in tjiis vicinity. The Merrimac and Monitor
have been blazing away at oue another for the past
six month before admiring thousands, and neither
has got the better of the other yet.
