BEFORE COMMISSIONER VOORHIS. PATROLMAN BRADY S FIRST DRINK. ••So much under the influence at eight P. M. February Ist as to be unlit to do patrol duty," was the charge against Brady, of the 'thirtieth Precinct. The complaint was made by Sergeant Groo. •• What do you plead to this charge ?” asked the Commissioner. •• 1 admit the charge ?’* replied the officer. ••Is there anything you want to say in extenua tion of it ?” ••I was sick six days before, as the doctor can tes tify. That afternoon I again took sick, and a friend suggested something to warm me. I was shaking. And ho got a little brandy. It was the first time I over took it in my life. Again, I was in a very weak condition, and it went to my head.” ••What time was this in the afternoon ?” ••A quarter after five. I did not want to report •iek. 1 had but half an hour to do duty.” •• Was that the only drink you had that day ?” «• It was the only drink in my life. I don’t know Whether it was liquor or what it was.” ♦• This friend suggested something warm?” •• Yes, sir.” ♦• Did he tell you what he was going to get ?” •• He said something warm. He told mo what it W*s when he came back and gave it to me.” •' What did he say ? ’ •• Tiiis is a little brandy, it will make you better, and warm you, and take a good walk, and you will get warmed. In fact, I was not fit for duty. I have only been appointed, 1 have a wife and two small children and I could not lose time by reporting sick. It is the first time brandy ever tasted my lips.” ••You refer to the doctor as to your previous illness ?” Yes, sir, Surgeon Steinhart.” “ Surgeon Steinhart, h ive you any knowledge of Brady s illness prior to the date of this charge ?” “ Yes,.sir,’’ replied the doctor. •* He was suffer ing from neuralgia, and from a very severe cold. The day before I reported him for duty. I thought him sufficiently recovered. 1 had been attending him for about a week. The last visit I made was Monday, the 21st, when I ordered him on duty. He Was pronounced well and fit for duty. The samo evening I was called to examine him for intoxica tion. He had neuralgia, a severe cold and swelling ♦f the tonsils. When I arrived at the Station House I was told there were two officers up stairs drunk. I examined Brady and found him in a kind of stupor.” •• What was your opinion of the case ?” ••By taking a tablespoonful of brandy, from the condition ho was in, would produce it.” ••You think it was something stimulating?” ••I could not smell it. It might be opium; but I did not smell it; I did not smell anything.” Sergeant Groo said: ••! have taken some trouble to ascertain about the officer, bis antecedents pre vious to being on the police. From all the informa tion I can get, he is virtually a temperance man. Ho is well spoken of by those that have known him from childhood. There are some on the police in the habit of carrying a barrel, whiie there are those, like Brady, if they take a little, are upset. I think if the Board would consider bis case favorably, he would develop into a good policeman.” The Commissioner said the officer was deserving ' of consideration lor his truthful admission of the charges, BEFORE COMMISSIONER PORTER. POSTPONED. < The case of Adams, of the Sixth Precinct, who •hot the Italian boy in Centre street lb stead of an escaped prisoner from the Tojnbs, went over two ’ weeks.

He 1 fired at the burglars in the store, but could not rec- 1 ognlze them, because it was dark. It was a boy the officer arrested, but it was a man he shot at. The night in question the officer said he saw the - boy under a lamp and thought he might be one of ? the burglars. There were always a number of young 2 thieves about the neighborhood, and he thought no 1 mistake could be made by laying hands on the first c young man he saw. He did make a mistake in this s case. The boy had just come over from Hoboken on his way to work, when the officer “collared” 1 him, 1 ONE DRINK SETTLED HIM. « Stead was chapped with being under the influence J Of liquor at 3:30 P.

Burglars entered the tobacco factory, lOOtb street ' and Third avenue, between six o’clock at night and < seven o'clock in the morning. The thieves stole a ] horse and wagon next door to the factory, broke in < by the cellar door of the place, and an outside ‘’par* 1 put on a lock after they were inside. The thieves then ht the gas. packed up in cases as many cigars ( as the wagon would hold, then drove the wagou up ] to the gate, put in their plunder and drove off with 1 stolen horse and wagon loaded with cigars. The police did not see it. The officer who was on from < six to twelve o’clock, was sure the burglary wasn’t 1 on ins tour.

He admitted being in there for thirty minutes, to the ( water-closet, but he had a telegraph boy covering ( his post. , Sergeant Cross said he started to go over the officer’s post and found this telegraph boy stretched at full length in the window. He told him the officer was in the water-closet of the hotel. The ' sergeant told the boy to go, he would look out for < the roundsman. It was five minutes to four o’clock. 1 He waited till s;4s—fifty minutes—before became out. On another occasion he had to go in and bring . him out. He had got tired of it. •• How long in ?” asked the Commissioner. “Long enough to tire me out,” replied Cross. ••Nevermind the other occasion,” said the Com missioner. “He was in the water-closet?” rt l don’t know where he was, but forty-five min utes is too long for any white man. The telegraph boy said he didn’t care bow long be was there, as long as he got paid for it.” The officer said he had been sick all that evening. GETTING THE TIME. Martin was found coming out of the side door of the liquor saloon, No. 282 Mott avenue. He said he went in to get the time, for no other purpose. That was the only place he could get it. He opened the Bide door, asked the time and came back on post. Roundsman Deeves said he had nothing further to say. He saw the officer go in the side entrance at 138th street, and as he was coming out he asked him what be was doing. He said he was getting the IllfiQ. ONLY A LODGE MEETING.

The officer said he would take him any how- “No, you won’t,” said the gateman, putting himself between the officer and the car. The officer said, “I’ll break your nose, you of a.” He took the dog down, and came up and said. “You of a , I’ll get even with you yet.” He got on the train and jumped off. and approached as if to strike.

He used the bad 4 language to Engel that has been stated here to-day. Crotty seemed to be sober, while Sullivan was not.” Chief Lally said—“ I investigated the case, but Lave no personal knowledge of the condition of the < two men. Crotty seemed to be a sober man, while ] in Sullivan's case if he takes a drink he gets very excited, and it has a bad effect upon him.” Captain Farrell said—“ Sullivan, while he was ] with me, seemed to be of a very excitable nature. I 1 never saw him drink, nor did I over see him under t the influence of liquor.

I was sick at my stomach'and wee very dizzy. I slipped and fell. When I got to the engine-house 1 sat down on a bale of hay. I did not, to my knowledge, drink any port wine. A man banded me a cup of the wine and I gave it to him back—l would not drink it.” President Purroy—“Your record is good upto this time, which speaks in your favor.

Thejointcommittees of the Exempt and Volunteer Firemen’s Associations, which were appointed to draw up a bill for presentation to the Legislature . for the continuance of the tax of two per ceut. upon 1 Foreign Fire insurance companies doing business 1 in this city, and which said tux was made payable > to the treasurer of the Exempt Firemen’s benevo lent fund, and their widows and orphans, met in » Albany last Wednesday, and had a hearing before » the joint committee of both Houses. Mr. Edmund t Stephenson, who is the first vice-president of the t Exempt Firemen’s Association, made the opening 5 speech, and was listened to with great attention by I the committee, and the large audience who were r attracted to the hearing. Mr. Stephenson made a , masterly address, and spoke with much warmth j upon the subject. He was followed by ex-Alderman 1 Robert B. Nooney and ex-Chief John Decker. The I latter gentleman almost broke down, being carried away by his feelings at the attempted outrage which t was sought to be perpetrated upon tbesacred fund. ? He depicted in forcible language the hardships NEW YORK DISPATCH, MARCH 13, 1887. n fireman’s life in the olden time, working with a zeal n in cold and heat, and enduring suffering in the n cause of bis follow-man, and without compensation d or hope of reward. AH this and more did ho vividly y portray, and when he camo to recount the suffer ings which he bad witnessed in the homes ot the widows and orphans of bis old comrades, it was al [fl most tod much for him. Ho rallied, however, and (0 electrified bis bearers by the impassioned manner in which be delivered his closing remarks. Judge Gorman next addressed the committee, but did not seem to meet with much success. He finally d wound up with some garbled statements, which I- were quickly met by Mr. Stephenson and others of it the committee. It was the general impression that the schemes of the Judge would fail, and when finally a document was placed in the bands of the t committee which plainly showed that the Judge a did not represent the exempt, or volunteer firemen of tins city, that gentleman thought ft about time to leave, which bo did very speedily aud before the hearing bad closed. Messrs. Watkins, Belloul, Dalton, Riloy, Starr, Masterson, Mulligan, Keese, Finn, of the committee, 1 aud President Michael Crane, of the Volunteer Firo r men s Association, have every reason to feel proud of the attention paid to their remarks, which as members of the committee, it was their duty to I make, in behalf of those who were not in a position to attend, and when they left the committee room together, it was the general impresdon among them • that justice would be done their wards by the officials at Albany—indeed, it was freely stated by many of the members of both Houses, that no more popular measure bad been introduced before the Legislature, than was the bill of the exempts by Senator Plunkett and Assembly man Crosby, of this city. The representatives of the State Firemen's Association rendered much valuable assistance to their brethren of this city and Brooklyn, those of the latter city consisting of President Courtney, of the Volunteer Firemen’s Association, aud John Dailey, of the Exempts, both from the Western District, and Trustee Jacob Johnson, of the Eastern District, speaking for tbeir respective associations, Vice-President T. J. Armstrong, of the N. Y. 8. Fire men’s Association, closing the argument in favor of his brethren of both cities. The 1 -xeentive Committee of the N. Y. S. Fire As sociation met at Troy last week, and perfected the arrangements for the convention which is to be held in that city in August next. President Mnrphy is to be congratulated upon the ability which he has shown throughout the entire proceedings. His brethren from this city and Brooklyn will ever re member him with kindness for the valuable assist ance rendered to them in their hour of need.. AUTOMATIC SIGNALS.

At a regular quarterly meeting of Clinton Engine No. 41 Association, held at Walhalla Hal) March Bth, 1887, the President, Mr. George W. Wheeler, an nounced the death of Zophar Mills on February 28th, and suggested that although Mr. M ils was never a member of Clinton Fire Engine Company No. 41, he was a great and high y esteemed friend, and it would therefore be eminently fitting that the Asao oiation should note his death. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, This Association has beard, with great ’ sorrow, ot the sudden deith of Zophar Mills, a ■ prominent and worthy officerand member of the late Volunteer Fire Department; and, Whereas, He was a sincere friend and valuable aid to Clinton Fire Engine Company No. 41 for many years, commencing more than half a century ago; therefore. Resolved, That in the death of Zophar Mills we 1 recognize the fact that tbo community at large have lost a valuable citizen, a gentleman of great in ftegrity, superior abilities and courteous manners as well as marked intelligence, the firemen a generous and kind friend and bis faTQjly a noble head and protector. Resolved, That while wo regret the groat loss 1 all have sustained in bis death, we bow with hun> b!e submission to the decree of Divine Providence and with pride joint to his many virtues as a citizen, merchant and fireman. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered in full in the minutes, a copy engrossed and sent to the family of the deceased and the same be published. Yorße Soaked. THE COURT DIDN’T THINK IT A “ COB-WEB BY ” CASE. For a long time, at least since February, 1686, Mr, I William Yorke has been running an open game at | No. 2,376 Third avenue, near the Harlem bridge, q The game was so notorious that Detective Cooper, of the Central Office, was sent up to suppress what the Ward detectives winked at. Cooper said the second floor was used for gam- R bling purposes. Faro and other games wore played there. On the 21st of February, he saw the game in • full blast and from forty to filly people were in the room. “ Who was in charge ?” asked the Court. “ I don’t know. I was let in by him. He was called to the door by the look-out and be told him to pass me. I got in and played and lost on two different games.” ••You went and knocked at tbe door and asked to get in, tbe door-keeper called him, and you were finally admitted by his order ? ’ ••Yes, sir.” “Did you hear the defendant say anything?” asked counsel. “No. 1 didn't.” ••Did you see him ?” “Yes, sir; became and put his face to the look out and said something io the doorkeeper, and be opened the door.” “ What was be doing the first night ?” “Walking around tbe room. Tbe second night, p ay ing.” Counsel, for effect, moved to dismiss tbe com plaint; it was a very cob* webby case. The court didn't think so. They fined Yorko SSO0 e ZBou-iid to jMu.rd.or. AFTER WEEKS ATTEMPTS TO CARRY OUT HIS THREAT, s Thomas Sorrell waa arrested on the 17th ult, charged with abandoning his wife. Elizabeth. When the case came up lor examination, she filled tQ appear and prosecute. The Court thought that I ' they had made up, and dismissed tbo complaint. He left court swearing he would have her life for bringing him into court. Sorrell and bis wifo did not moot Again until Fri day evening last. He never went near her, but it appears took up with another woman. When they met they of course had words. He threw ber on tbe sidewalk and stabbed her three times. One blow, that in the descent missed, struck the pave- ! ment, and sparks flew from the blade. That stab , was meant to be effective. Alter the assault, Sol*- rell fled, and the woman was taken to tho New York Hospital. Ho Is fifty years of ago, a junkman and a native of the West Indios. The woman was twenty years yo unger. Doubly funislied. A BLACK EYE AND FIVE MONTHS. The court gave John Simpson five months and Peter Witt, the complainant, gave him a black eye. Peter said the fellow came in his saloon and passed through the dining-room to the yard. Some clothing was banging up in the yard. A little while after he saw Simpson come out of the yard and go in the water-closet, and looking in the yard be saw several coats gone. He went in tho water-closet and caught the ;ellow. “ Who gave him that black eye ?” asked the court. ••I did,” said Peter. “He wouldn’t have patienc to wait till the officer came.” “ What have you to say, Simpson T’ asked the court. 1 ••I was drunk.” •• He was sober enough,” said Peter, “to break away from me and get over tho fence with two coats.
