HUMORS OF THE POLICE.
BEFORE COMMISSIONER McCLOE.
PRISONER ESCAPED AT THE DESK.
Granger arrested a man, took him to the station
house, and while in Iront of the desk allowed h;s
prisoner to es ape. The officer said the charge
against him was correct. He had searched the
r risoner, and was making the complaint, and had
called for the doorman when all at once the prison
er made a dash for liberty out of the door, which
happened to be open.
*• What happened then ?” asked the Commis
sioner. , , , r . . .
“I ran after him; he outran me, and I lost sight
of him in the railroad depot.’'
“Have you succeeded in finding him ?”
“No. The man was charged with burglary, but
he was only a bum. He had a sort of charge of
this place, and stole two shirts from the rear of the
house. That is the sort of burglar he is. I'm
charged with allowing him to escape.”
“ Even so. it was a pity, after taking him as far
as the station-house, and inside, that he should
escape,” remarked the Commissioner.
••It is something unusual; it never happened be
fore to me.”
The sergeant said’he thought when the officer
got his prisoner in the station-house he shouldn’t
have allowed him to escape. The fellow had no
residence and no home.
“He seemed the last man in the world, even if
charged with burglary, that would attempt to
escape, 7 ’ said the officer. “He had no home, and
we were giving him one.”
“Even then,” the Commissioner said, “ that was
no reason why the fellow should be allowed to
escape.”
•• DRANK NOTHING, CALLED FOR NOTHING.”
Kissengen and Stewart, Twenty-ninth Precinct,
were in the liquor saloon No. 1,214 Broadway, at 8
P. M., July 6. When discovered by Capt. Williams
they said they had been but a second there. They
drank nothing, and ca led for nothing. Made no
explanation to the captain, who gave them no
chance, he merely ordered them out of the place.
The captain said he saw them go into this liquor
saloon together, they made no explanation to him,
leaving in a hurry.
Stewart said it was a hot day. so hot he didn’t go
to bed. He had done a great deal of special duty,
and went into this place, which was as much a
restaurant as a liquor saloon, and left when ordered
out,
A POOR EXCUSE,
Kearney, of the Twenty-ninth Precinct, didn’t
relieve on his relieving point. He was a new man
there and did not know the “ mugs ” of his brother
officers. A fellow officer waved his club in a salut
ing way going up on the car, and he thought it was
his relief.
« The Commissioner said there were rules in run
ning the Police Department, but signals from cars
was not one of them.
WHY ABSENT FROM POST.
Rayner, of the Twenty-second Precinct, absent
from post, pleaded guilty. He heard a rap at the
Lion Brewery, but when he got there he found
nothing out of the way.
“ Who rapped ?”
“Ex-Alderman Wendel. He was in the habit of
rapping when there was trouble.”
The ex-alderman said there had been trouble.
Roundsman Reynolds said he met a citizen, who
told him there was a policeman at 110th street.
While in conversation with the citizen, Raynor
came along. The officer said it was his post; he
had a right to be there. Rayner was off post and
staggered. The roundsman charged him with being
off post and under the influence of liquor. This
was 10:12; when iound off post, 10:25, he charged
him with being under the influence of liquor.
Ex-Alderman Wendel, proprietor of the Lion
Brewery, said he called for assistance. The officer
came when he rapped. He expected a fight, and he
rapped. When he rapped he always got official
help. When Rayner answered the rap, he said it
was not on his post, and went back on his own post,
and told Wendel to get the officer on the post. Ray
ner was sober. That was fifteen minutes before the
roundsman saw him.
The roundsman said he heard no rap.
“ Were you in such a position as to hear the
aiderman rap ?” asked the Commissioner.
“ Yes. sir,” replied the roundsman.
The charge of intoxication'was then taken up.
Raynor said not guilty. Itwas quinine that he had
taken too much of.
“At 10:25 when brought in the station house,”
Baid the roundsman, “his face was flushed —he was
excited and walked unsteady crossing the floor.
Hie breath smelled sour. I was as close to him as I
could stand.”
“Did be make any explanation as to his condi
tion ?”
“ He had taken a beer, but had drank nothing af
ter going on post. He went on at 6 o’clock.”
The sergeant in command, who had been twenty
years on the force, had no hesitation in saying the
man was drunk. He could not say that there was
anything outside of liquor that could have made
him drunk.
Roundsman Walsh recalled, said he noticed him
under the influence of liquor at 108th street and ac
cused him of being drunk. The officer said “ No,
sir.” He took him to the lamp and said, “You
have been drinking.” His clothes were dirty. He
ordered him back on post; but after walking fifteen
feet, he staggered and he called him back, then
took him to the station house.
“One Hundred and Eighth street was not on his
post ?” said the Commissioner.
“No, sir, I walked him to the station house and
called the sergeant’s attention to him. His tongue
was thick.”
Dr. Nesbit said he saw the officer an hour end
twenty-five minutes after he had been taken in.
His speech was thick, breath was sour, and his eyes
somewhat glassy. He said he had taken soda and
quin inp.
•• Would that have brought about the effect that
he described ?”
“A very large dose might,” replied the doctor,
“ Larger than is ordinarily taken ?”
“Yes, sir.”
Ex-Aidermen Wendel again took the stand, and said
he did not notice that the officer was intoxicated.
He talked with him and noticed uothing strange;
he talked all right.
“You have heard the testimony of the sergeant,
roundsman and dffctor, and they testify he was un
der the infiunce of liquor—so much so as to be un
fit for duty. How do you account for that ?”
“I think they must be mistaken,” said the ex-
Alderman.
“ It takes a large dose of quinine to drug a man,”
■aid the Commissioner.
“It was a hot day and the 4th of July,” said the
•x-Alderman.
“ We deal pretty severely with all cases of intoxi.
cation,” said the Commissioner. “He is only
three months on the force. It is a very serious
charge—intoxication. ”
“ I took quinine by order of Dr. Sherman, for ma
laria.” said the officer.
“ How long have you had malaria ?” asked the
Commissioner.
“ Four months.”
Just since appointed.
"How long have you been taking quinine, pure?”
“Three weeks. Before leaving the house at half
Sast five I took a little brandy and quinine. I
rank nothing from 5:30 to 10:15.”
“If that is so, how do you account for your con
dition ?”
“ I remember everything I did.”
•• The roundsman testified that you staggered,
your language was thick, and that he told you a
young man like you should be ashamed.”
“I told him I was not intoxicated.”
“Why did you stagger?”
“I did not stagger.”
“The sergeant testifies from bis experience of
twenty years that that was your condition at that
time. How do you account for that ?”
“I can make no answer to that.”
“ Are you a drinking man ?”
“No.”
“Areyou in the habit of drinking?”
“No, sir.”
“ Have you ever been under the influence of li
quor ?”
“Not the last eight or nine years.”
“How long have you been on the force?”
“ Since February last.”
A VALUABLE WATCH.
Sharkey’s watch beat the old time clock that stop
ped, never to go again. He was seven minutes late
at roll call. He said his watch stopped half an hour,
then went on again. He had been a year on the
force and never before late.
AN INDEPENDENT OFFICER,
Walsh, of the Fifth Precinct, was an hour and five
minutes late at roll call.
“What was the matter?” asked Commissioner
McLane.
“I had company at the house that delayed me.”
“You took the chance to entertain your com
pany ?”
“I didn’t think of it.”
There was a second charge against Walsh; he
didn’t get up, when called to go to a fire, but re
mained in bed.
“Guilty,” said Walsh. “I had an ulcerated
tooth, and lay in bed when the doorman came up
and put out the lights.”
“They will have to get a special doorman for
you. Have you had that tooth taken out ?”
“No, sir.”
“You were late entertaining your company, and
when you went to bed you did not like to get up to
go to a fire.”
FORGOT HIMSELF.
Enright, of the Twenty-third Precinct, off post,
said a lady and gentleman called him. Boys had
been using profane language in the yard. When he
got off post they ran away.
“Do you know the names of the lady and gentle
man ?”
“No.”
The roundsman said he saw him leave his post
with the man.
“ You forgot yourself and went off post ?”
“Yes, sir,” replied the officer.
DOWN ON A STOOP.
Langdon admitted lying on a stoop. He had a
pain and a “terrible dyspepsia.” He was taken
with a “ storm ”of vomiting. Taken weak he lay
down for twenty minutes. He was not lying, but
in a lying position.
“He was lying on his hand,” said the rounds
man, illustrating the position.
“Did he show where he had been vomiting?”
“ No, he told me two or three days before he was
troubled with dyspepsia.”
A COMFORTABLE CHAIR.
Buckley was found sitting in a chair at No. 232
Bowery. He said a watchman called him over to
see the fine cbalr he had got. He sat down a mo
ment to see how it felt, when all of a sudden the
roundsman came down on him like a ghost.
“Suppose no roundsman had come, would you
have sat all day ?”
“ It was to satisfy the watchman I sat down.”
THAT BLESSED FEMALE.
A second charge was preferred against Buckley by
Roundsman Campbell. He was with a female in
the back room of the liquor saloon No/127 Crosby
street.
” I’m guilty, but I think my explanation will be
satisfactory,” said the officer. “The people in
Crosby street told me about the gangs on the oppo
site side of the street, of folks being insulted. A
lady came and told me how she had been insulted.
I don’t know her name. I followed them into the
back room; they knew more about the store than I
did. and got out, and this lady walked right in be
bind me.”
“A citizen came to the station-house,” said
Roundsman Campbell, “and reported that the
officer was off post in a liquor saloon with a wo
man, and that he had hit a citizen in the saloon
with his stick. The captain sent me out to investi
gate, and I found him and the woman there.”
“This is the man that I struck; he has done six
months,” said the officer.
“You must have been sitting down sometime,”
•aid the Commissioner. “ Word was sent to the
station-house, the roundsman was sent out to hunt
jp'j up and ha finds you.”
“ It was only two blocks from the station-house.
“It took some time to go to the station-house,
give notice at the desk, and the roundsman,, to get
there. Did he make any statement to you ?’
“ No,” replied th * roundsman. „
“Let me say this record is not very clean, re
marked the Commissioner. “This is not a new
thing of being in a liquor store. You have only
been a year on the force, and you have had numer
ous fines. You are not doing well at all. This is
the twelfth complaint within a year. You have
been in liquor saloons before with women. If you
don’t mend your ways you won’t end your days on
the police force.”
HALF GUILTY.
Found sitting in a chair, at No. CBS Hudson
street, was the charge against Watson, of the Ninth
Precinct. He pleaded guilty to a portion of the
charge. >f
“Better say not guilty to all, and get the facts,
said the Commissioner. . lt
“Coming up the west side of Ninth avenue,
said Roundsman Butts, “ I saw a person seated at
the junction, at Fourteenth street. I saw it
was Watson. He was in his shirt sleeves, hat off,
collar off, and was seated in a chair. His coat was
hanging on a nail. He denied being seated in a
chair. t
“ I stopped where the watchman was seated, ana
wanted to go down stairs. Just coming out of the
building the watchman says, * Here comes your
roundsman.’ He came over and said, ’ What are
you doing there ?’ He accused me of sitting; it was
the watchman sat,” said the officer.
“I saw him Bitting in the chair,” said the rounds
man, “ I was only across the avenue.”
“ Did you see anybody else sitting ?” asked
Watson.
“ I saw the watchman sitting in another chair.
The officer jumped up and put on his coat and
hat.”
“ Can you distinguish a man across the avenue ?
asked Watson.
“ Yes, sir.”
The watchman said Watson came from the water
closet with his coat over his arm as the roundsman
came up. He did not sit down in a chair. His coat
was not hanging up.
BLOOD RUSHED TO THE HEAD.
Munson, of the Ninth Precinct, was found sitting
on a box at No. 36 Ninth avenue. The officer said
he was guilty. He had a rush of blood to the bead.
“ Did you make that statement to the rounds
man ?”
“ I really don’t know what I said.”
“ He didn’t say anything about being sick.”
The officer’s doctor said he had been the family
physician four years, and he had treated Munson
lor a rush of blood to the head.
VERY IGNORANT.
Murray, of the Thirty-fifth Precinct, had a sta
tionary post at a Croton aqueduct shaft. The
roundsman found him sitting on a barrel.
“Didn’t you know that was a violation of the
rules ?”
“ No.”
“ How long on the force?”
“ Since the 9th of February.”
He thought it was as cheap sitting as standing,
•nd he might as well draw his salary sitting as
standing, it was all the same.
A LONG POST TIRED HIM.
Crogan, of the same precinct, was charged with
sitting. He said he had a long post, two miles.
Well, what difference is the length of the post?
There are certain hours to patrol afoot, whether the
post be long or short.
CONWAY’S DISCOVERY.
After a dead horse had lain three days in a vacant
lot, Conway made a complaiut against McLaughlin
of not seeing it.
“ What has became of these officers that patrolled
the two days previous ?” asked the Commissioner.
“I did not see the horse myself,” said the rounds
man.
After Forty-Seven Tears.
Man and Wife Reunited—A Modern Enoch

Jealousy—After Traveling in Two
Hemispheres and Digging - for
Gold and Diamonds in Cali
fornia, Australia and Asia,,
Returns—A Case which
Reads Stranger
than Ro
mance.
A case which reads like a chapter from fiction
transpired in Williamsburg last week. It was one
of modern Enoch Ardenism which a person reads of
but seldom, on account of the length of time which
the central figure in it had been away.
Forty-seven years ago John R. Seabury lived in
Brighton, Maes., where he was born, with his bride
of four months, happy and contented. He worked
at his trade as a carpenter, and was regarded as a
steady, industrious young man, who had a bright
future before him. The young wife one evening,
after having a misunderstanding with her hus
band, ran out of the house in a fit of ill temper and
sought refuge with her parents. Mr. Seabury was
not in a pleasant mood next day, on account of the
gossip which his bride’s foolish action gave rise to
among inquisitive neighbors, and was on his way to
his people-in-law’s house, at evening, to bring her
home, when he saw her conversing earnestly at the
gate leading to the family home with a former suit
or for her hand. His bosom in a moment was filled
with jealous rage, and he passed by his wife and her
former lover without noticing them, and the bride
was too proud to hail him.
It did not take him long to make up his mind
what he should do, so he immediately went home,
packed up his clothing in two valises, and at day
break the following morning. June 16, 1839, he
walked from his home, valises in hand,
DETERMINED NEVER TO RETURN
to it, or again see the woman he had,sworn to sup
port and cherish. He disturbed nothing in their
little home, so that his wife could t understand that
there was nothing selfish in his action, nor was he
desirous of fleeing from the responsibility he had
undertaken, but her course had driven him to do
what he did.
Mrs. Seabury, whose maiden name was Kavanagh,
when she learned of her husband’s disappearance
the next day, went to their home and investigated.
All his clothing was gone, but he had not left one
word in writing for his bride. She wrung her
hands in despair and blamed herself for ever leav
ing her home, but she hoped lor her husband’s
early return. His flight was a seven day’s wonder
and in time the episode passed from people’s minds.
The young wife gave birth to a daughter and for
fourteen years mother and daughter resided in
Brighton. After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Kavanagh,
Mrs. Seabury, who was an only child, disposed of
the little effects bequeathed to her and departed
from the home of her childhood and her sorrow for
New York city, where she had some relatives living.
Tier daughter and herself worked together in the
metropolis for many years. Mrs. Seabury had an
offer ot marriage, it should be mentioned, while yet
in the prime of life, but, even if assured that she
was a widow, she would not think of entering into
the marital state on account of the unfortunate in
cident which
BLIGHTED HER YOUNG LIFE.
Her daughter Emma, however, got married when
she was twenty-five years old, to Joseph Fogarty,
who was and yet is a porter in a Front street tea
house in this city. Mrs. Fogarty died a few years
since, leaving four children, the eldest being a girl
.named Emma, alter herself. Emma married a
young man named Henry Kennedy, two years
since, and eight months ago or more, they went to
reside on North Eighth street, between Seventh
street and Union avenue, Williamsburg, and old
Mrs. Seabury accepted their invitation to live with
them.
Last Tuesday evening Granny Seabury, as she is
called by the neighbors, was surprised by the en
trance to her granddaughter’s comfortable apart
ments, of a venerable, well-dressed old man, who
inquired if Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kennedy lived
there. Mrs. Seabury replied that they did, but
that they were out just then looking at the parade
in honor of the delegates to the Sons of Veterans
State encampment.
“And you are Mr. Kennedy’s mother?” remarked
the old man, testily.
“No; I am Mrs. Kennedy’s grandmother.”
“Have you many children of your own living ?”
“ I had only one, and she is dead.”
“Is your husband dead ?”
“I suppose he is for many, many years.”
“ Why, don’t you know ?”
“I do not, lor a certainty.”
“ And what is your name now ?”
“My name is Jane Seabury.”
“And you don’t know whether your husband is
living or dead ?”
“I SUPPOSE HE IS DEAD.
“I have not seen him since the 16th of June,
forty-seven years ago. The date is engraven on my
heart in figures which never can be effaced. I
think of them by day and dream of them by night,”
sobbed the old woman as if her heart would break.
The old man was visibly affected and asked her if
she ever expected to see her husband alive again ?
“ He must be dead for years,” she moaned, as the
tears streamed down her face.
“You would scarcely know him if he were
alive ?”
“Scarcely,’’ replied the old woman, who now
thought that she remembered the voice. “Your
voice,” she added, “ has something in it that re
minds me of the past. Did you know my hus
band ?”
“Yes, very well. lam he,” replied the man as he
caught her in his arms.
“Oh, true enough, you are my Johnny of years,
years ago,” sobbed the old lady as if her heart
would burst with joy. “But where have you been,
or have you another wife ?” she added.
“Like yours If,” he replied, “I never married
again, as I had no right to, even if I were inclined,
not knowing whether you were alive or not. But I
had no heart to get married a second time, even if I
knew you were dead. I felt in all those years that I
had done you an injustice in allowing my mad,
foolish, boyish jealousy to get the mastery over
me. The Lord knows, I have suffered enough to
atone for my great sin, the great wrong I have done
yon.”
“Itwas I who wronged you,” replied Mrs. Sea
bury. “ I should never have left my house in a fit
of ill-temper as I did. My speaking with the young
man who used to call on me before we were mar
ried was very foolish. I blame myself for all.”
“ I take all the blame,” replied the husband.
A reunion followed, and when Mrs. Kennedy re
turned to her home, she found that she had a grand
father, who is a comparatively rich man, as well as
a grandmother.
Mr. Kennedy told the Dispatch representative
the strange story, and invited him to see the old
couple at his home.
The house in which Mr. Kennedy resides is an
unpretentious two-story one, but the apartments
are neatly furnished. When the writer entered,
Thursday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Seabury were
seated in arm-chairs. He has hazel eyes and looks
rugged for his age, while she is somewhat decrepid.
The couple related over and over again the scene
which took place when he entered the house Tues
day evening, and he seemed to enjoy very much
the surprise he gave his wife. He said that he had
considerable difficulty in finding her.
“Would you object to letting the readers of the
Dispatch know
“WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN
during the forty-seven years that you were away
from your wife ?” asken the writer.
“ I will tell you briefly, for it would fill a book as
large as a Bible to relate to you the whole story. A
mad jealousy consumed my whole frame on the
fated night of the 16th of June 1839, and the next
morning I started for Boston, determined to ship
as a carpenter-on board some vessel departing for a
far off coast. I found one about starting for a South
American port and I was just the man who was
wanted. We were on the water for months, I
think, and when we landed at Porto Rico the ves
sel’s cargo was badly damaged and she was a wreck
herself. When she had discharged her cargo I de
clined to go back in her and remained in the coun
try. I traveled from place to place in South and
Central America and passed several years in Cuba.

years. I accumulated some money and started for
China in 1861. I traveled through China and Japan
and made money in business, but the gold fever
was strong upon me an l I felt that age was creep
ing on too, so I determined on not waiting to accu
mulate wealth by a slow process but dig it out at
once from the bowels of the earth. I heard a good
deal about the gold fields of Australia and how rap
idly men were getting rich there, so I departed
from Japan for that cou-ntry in 1864 or *65. I was
worth considerable money, so I lost no time in
bunting up the gold fields. I worked hard there
for ten years and only with very moderate success.
Somewhat disappointed in my expectations I start
ed for the diamond fields of Africa. Under a broil
ing sun I worked hard with two men whom I had
employed and I met with a little more success than
I had gold hunting in Australia.
“ Age was creeping on me and I found that I was
not so young or vigorous as when I first started
from Brighton. Two years ago I directed my steps
toward Europe to take a little rest and recreation
and enjoy* the money I struggled so hard to obtain.
I spent some time in England, Germany, France,
Italy, Switzerland, Spain and other portions of the
Continent, after which
“I DIRECTED MY STEPS TOWARD MY NATIVE
SHORE.
“ I had no expectation of finding my wife alive
for I had believed her dead, but I hoped a child
would survive her. No person.knew me at Brighton
—my own relatives, as well as those of my wife,
having died and disappeared from there over a
quarter of a century ago. I was informed, how
ever, that Mrs. Seabury had a daughter named Em
ma, and that they lived with relatives in New York.
I hunted around the Metropolis for several weeks,
and at last found Mr. Fogarty, who was married to
my daughter, whom I never saw. He told me that
my wife lived with his daughter, Mrs. Kennedy.
That ie the whole story. I have enough to support
at least my wife and myself for the remainder of
our days.”
The old woman looked happy and hoped she
would live for many years to enjoy her honeymoon,
as she called it.
Mr. and Mrs. Seabury went Friday to visit their
son-in-law in New York, where they intend stop
ping for a few weeks.

his capture, and lives to be greased again at some
future day.

Captain Louis Wendel’s First Battery N. G. S. N. Y.,
and a salute was fired at sunset.

Post, Scanlan Post, McGee Post, Rankin Post, Kier
nan Post, Garfield Post and others. The entire
column made a fine appearance and was loudly ap
plauded along the lino of march. At the head was
Grand Marshal Newell, attended by a large and
soldierly-looking staff.
After parading through a number of the principal
streets, many of the houses in which were illumi
nated and decorated, and after being reviewed by
Department Commander Dowling and General
Catlin, attended by a large number of prominent
members of the G. A. R. and S. O. V., the column
proceeded to Grand Army Hall, and after passing
in review before the Grand Marshal and his staff,
were disbanded. Then the boys flocked into the
hall, where preparations lor a jolly time bad been
made. The ladies of Mansfield Corps had prepared
a collation for the encampment officers, the dele
gates, and their guests, and about 350 sat down to
the bounteous tables, while the ladies saw that
‘ their wants were attended to. At the head of the
principal table sat Department Commander Dow
ling, General s Catlin and Avery, Commander Short,
of Mansfield Post, and Adjutant General Andrews.
General Catlin was introduced by Chairman
Williamson of the Committee of Arrangements and
made one of his characteristic speeches, which put
everybody into the best of humor.
When the good things bad been disposed of the
company adjourned to the ball-room, where hun
dreds of happy couples were already tripping the
light fantastic, and entered with gusto into the
merriment.
Upon the following morning the delegates again
assembled, and after transacting a quantity of busi
ness, elected the following officers, for the ensuing
year: Department Commander, J. J. Dowling, Post

PICNIC OF SUMNER RELIEF CORPS.
On Friday evening, July 9th, the members of
Sumner Womens’ Relief Corps, No. 3, gave their
second annual picnic at Wendet's Elm Park. It was
one of the first corps organized in this city and its
fame is widespread consequently it is no wonder
that the entertainment was a success socially, artis
tically and financially. A large number of Grand
Army comrades were present, apd their uniforms
and the attractive toilets of the ladies made a pleas
ing spectacle. Everybody that came was bent upon
enjoyment, and went away with an elegant suffi
ciency of that desirable article. The great feature
of the evening was the of a handsome
gold badge to Mrs. Helena M. Chappelle, the presi
dent, by the members of the corps. The badge was
composed of a Maltese cross (the emblem of the W.
R. C.), laid upon a gold G. A. R. badge, thus com
prising in one the emblems of the two organiza
tions. It was expected that Commander Peterkin,
of Sumner Post, would present the badge, but as
he did not arrive until late the pleasant duty de
volved upon Comrade Samuel G. Hayler, of Alexan
der Hamilton Post, who filled it in the best of taste.
Mrs. Chappelle was completely taken by surprise,
and could hardly recover sufficient self-command to
respond.’She, however, thanked the ladies for.their
handsome gift, and assured them that she woul d
wear it with pride, not alone for its intrinsic value,
but as coming from such a band of noblewomen.
After this episode dancing was begun and kept up
until the merry musicians began to think there was
no such word as “ quit.”
Among those present were Mrs. De Mott, Presi
dent of Bendix Corps, accompanied by several mem
bers; Mrs. M. E. Denison, Mrs. Monroe, President of
Naval Corps; Mrs. Peterkin, Captain Taylor and
wife; Cols. Treadwell and Sheahan; Major Van Du
sen, Ex-Alderman Simonson, Captain Schaefer, Com
rades Fell, Finley, Smith, Dick, Rain, Walters, De
voe, Hack, Trevor and Bloomer.

Drum Corps, and Post No. 92, of Eloomingdale, N.
J., were at the depot to receive the visitors upon
their arrival. After passing in review before the
residence of Mr. Butler, the column marched to the
grove, where there was a grand “layout.” Corpo
ral Finley won a prize by the strategy he displayed
in capturing an army of sandwiches which had the
temerity to appear in his front. When the boys had
cleared the tables the speechmaking began, and
addresses were made by Hon. Francis'Scott, Corpora
tion Counsel of Paterson; Mr. W. J. Lewis, Com
mander J, S. Nally, Senior Vice Commander Cole,
who delivered quite a lengthy and very eloquent
oration on the history of the country; Comrades
Ayers, Burton, Harding and Dr. George W. Morton,
who paid a deserved tribute to the loyal and hand
some women of America. The remainder of the day
was passed in visiting places of interest. In the
evening there was a fine display of fireworks, after
which the boys embarked for home. The members
of Veteran Post will never forget the handsome re
ception given them by Leader O’Sullivan and the
members of his band and those of the Fife and
Drum Corps.
McClellan post wide-awake.
George B. McClellan Post held its regular encamp
ment at headquarters, No. 278 Bleecker street, last
Wednesday evening. The proceedings were very
harmonious and a lull spirit of old-time companion
ship was the order of the evening. Among the
prominent features of the occasion was the inspec
tion of a set of resolutions tendered to Bayard Post
of Trenton, Department of New Jersey, for its hos
pitality on last Decoration Day. They were en
grossed in a most beautiful and elaborate manner
by Mr. D. T. Ames, of No. 205 Broadway, and met
with the cordial approval of every member. The
memorial committoe will proceed to Trenton this
week and make the formal presentation to Bayard
Post. McClellan Post is making extensive arrange
ments for its first annual picnic and festival at Lion
Park on the last day of August. The members de
sire to make it one of the greatest events of the
season, and extend a cordial invitation to all mem
bers of the Grand Army, and propose that every
body shall have a first-class, enjoyable time on this
occasion.
TOO LITTLE FRATERNITY.
The following communication, from a well-known
comrade, deals with a subject that is of interest to
all comrades:
To the Editor of the New York Dispatch:
Sir: a comrade of the Grand Army, I desire to
know why it is that members of the order show so
little fraternity toward one another ? When I first
became connected with our order I was led to be
lieve that one comrade should stand by the other
through thick or thin; but I have since ascertained,
through experience, that so far as fraternity is con
cerned, that it is exceedingly limited, and that fra
ternity of feeling which should exist among com
rades is soi-disant. My reasons for speaking in the
above strain are these : A comrade, who happens
to be a black man, but who served with distinction
in the late war, visited a post in this city, and was
refused admission because he was not white* He is
a member in good standing of John A. Andrew Pest,
No. 234, G. A. R. Another comrade who visited a
post was refused admission because a member of
that post objected to him simply because he did
not like him. The objector never served outside of
New York State, and enlisted for the period of one
hundred days; but, judging from the number of
medals he wears, people would be led to believe
that he was a great hero. These are but two in
stances, and there are numerous others of like na
ture, which can be proven if necessary. Fraternity,
in deed, if not in word, is the broad foundation
stone on which our great order rests, and it is
earnestly hoped that all good comrade* will bear
this in mind, and not allow color or ill-feeling to be
their stumbling block. Vidette.
NOT A SQUARE DEAL.
A comrade comes to the front with this pertinent
query:
To the Editor of the New York Dispatch:
Sir—l desire to know if it is a square thing for
the leader of a certain post band, who is a member
of the New York police force, to hire men outside
of the order or give them preference to G. A. R.
comrades, thereby depriving the latter of their
bread and butter ? Or whether the Police Commis
sioners allow a man to hold two positions? It is
about time this thing was put a stop to.
A Comrade.
INFORMATION WANTED.
Comrade L. F. R. Holmes, of No. 14 Commerce
street, this city, desires information concerning
Lieut. Watts, formerly of Co. F., Fourth New York
Heavy Artillery, or the names and addresses of two
members of tbat company and regiment; also the
present address (if living) of Adjutant Copper, of the
same regiment.
Comrade W. J. Barry, of No. 32 Goerck street, this
city, desires to obtain the address ot any former
member of Co. H, Fifty-first Regiment, N. Y. Vols.
(Scott Rifles). This will be all right, Comrade Bar
ry, if our friends the “typos” don’t go for it again.
ITEMS OF NEWS.
Comrade General James McLeer, ex-postmaster of
Brooklyn, is about again and is looking much im
proved in health.
One of the busiest men in Brooklyn is Captain
Harry Phillips, of the Kings County Memorial Com
mittee. Satan will never get a mortgage on the cap
tain because the latter has nothing to do.
Isn’t it about time for the proceedings of the late
Department Encampment to be promulgated ? It
is nearly three months since the encampment was
held, and an account of the proceedings should cer
tainly be in the hands of the delegates to San Fran
cisco prior to their departure.
Mansfield Post, the “boss” post of the depart
ment, so far as numbers is concerned at least, will
give its annual excursion to-morrow. The steamers
“Long Branch” and “Myers,” and five barges,
will leave the foot of South Fifth street, Brooklyn,
E. D.. at 9 A. M. sharp, and proceed to River
View Grove on the Hudson. A good baud has been
engaged, and the occasion will be one to be long
remembered. The proceeds will go to the post re
lief fund.
Comrade E. A. Dubey has reason to be proud of
the skill and taste displayed in executing the work
on the presentation banner, which has been dis
played in the windows ot Rogers, Peet & Co. for sev
eral days. The album is also very elegant, and a
few blank spaces can yet be filled.
Col. James W. Webb, past Chief Mustering Officer
of the Department, will be accompanied by his
family on his trip to San Francisco. Col. Webb
goes as the guest of Gen. William De Lacy, of the
Sixty-ninth Regiment and Past Commander of Gen.
Michael Corcoran Post. A plentiful supply of quar
termaster, commissary and hospital stores has been
provided. Col. Webb is a prominent member of
the Knights of Labor.
The Veterans’ Rights Union is taking up the cases
of the veterans recently discharged irom the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, and it is hoped that the action in
their cases will be reconsidered.
Major Peter Casey, of Brooklyn, met with quite
an accident a few days ago, receiving severe inju
ries in the side.
The members of Rankin Post, and their guests,
had an excellent time at their recent camp-fire, and
Dr. J. Burdick, Chairman of the committee in
charge, and his fellow-members, are receiving the
credit due them. Commander Woodruff and his
corps of officers are determined to keep Rankin Post
at the front.
The gilt-edge post of the east side, viz: Steinwehr
Post, commanded by Coroner Ferdinand Levy, is
going to have its annual excursion on August 11th.
When Steinwehr starts on a racket, it’s time to
“cl’ar the track.” That there will be the biggest
kind of a time, goes without saying. Full particu
lars will be given later.
Comrade Alexander Thompson, of C. D. Macken
zie Post of Brooklyn, has been appointed an aid-de
camp on the staff of Commander-in-Chief Burdett.
Comrade Thompson is justly popular and the ap
pointment gives general satisfaction.
A comrade sends a communication to the Dis
patch, commenting in severe terms upon the al
leged fact that at the funeral of Jacob Spandel, a
member of Hancock Post, who died in the German
Hospital about a week since, not a single officer of
the post and only two members were present, al
though due notice had been given, lhe funeral
took place at the hospital on Monday last. After
waiting nearly two hours for members of Hancock
Post to put in an appearance, Surgeon Duffy, of the
Veteran Zouaves, ordered the services to proceed,
and the body of the brave comrade was borne to
Lutheran Cemetery without being accompanied by
even a corporals guard of fellow-members. It
looks as if an explanation were needed in this
matter.
George G. Meade Post, at its encampment held on
Friday evening last, was honored by a visit from
S. V. Commander William B. Daley, of John A. An
drew Post, Department of Massachusetts, who pre
sented to Meade Post, On behalf of Post No. 15, a
large photograph of the two posts, taken on Boston
Common last Memorial Day, on the occasion of the
visit of Meade Post to that city. The photo is ele
gantly framed, and Comrade Daley presented it in
an eloquent speech, which was responded to in a
suitable manner by Commander McConnell.
The first festival of ter Cooper Post will be
given at the Empire City Colosseum, foot of Sixtv
ninth street, East river, on Monday, September 6th
next, under the supervision of Commander M. H.
Whalen and a select committee consisting of Com
rades Daniel E. Dowling (chairman), Mathew Stew
art, John Dearden, John Mullen, Joseph A. Periera,
Robert Gardiner and Adjutant Henry Seri ver. The
post will be assisted by the members of the Peter
Cooper Auxiliary Corps, Wm. Ward, Commander.
Valuable prizes will be contested for by the Auxil
iary Corps. Visiting comrades and friends of the
post are assured an hospitable reception.
Another comrade of Koltes Post has joined the
great majority. Felix Metzinger, late First Lieu
tenant Co. K, Forty-fifth Regiment, N. Y. Volun
teers, died on Thursday afternoon. The funeral
services will be held at the deceased’s late resi
dence, No. 3 Perry street, at 1:30 P. M., to-day. The
post will assemble at headquarters, Germania As
sembly Rooms, at one o’clock, sharp. The inter
ment will be in Evergreens Cemetery.
To-morrow the sixteenth annual picnic and tour
nament of Farragut Post will take place at Lion
Park, 108th street and Ninth avenue. Shooting for
prizes will begin at ten A. M., and dancing will com
mence at three P. M. Among the prizes are several
gold badges, open for competition to members of
the Grand Army in one match ; in another to all
comers, and in a third to members of the post only.
Stages will be run free from the park to the elevated
station at 106th street and Third avenue. Comman
der?Heilferty, and the officers and members of Far
ragut Post will extend a warm welcome to all visit
ing comrades.
A new camp of Sons of Veterans, U. S. A., is
shortly to be organized and will be known as Reno
Camp. Considerable interest is being taken in the
matter by the members of Reno Post. Information
can be obtained by addressing E, wxitteie, No. 215
