The Horse, Sober, Leads the Man, Drunk, to the Station-House—An Officer Robbed in the Sixteenth Precirct Staticn-House- Lookingata Boil on His Leg-A Rounds man in Trouble—The Sergeant Thinks he Skpt Off a Drunk—The Corner in the Storm Door-Might Have Been Worse- A Flat Denial by Maguire Proved False- A Novelty at Canal and Varick Streets Evidence that would Want a Balance Scale to Decide the “ Swears.” BEFORE COMMISSIONER VOORHIS. WALSH’S DRUNK LEADS TO A DISSERTATION ON HORSES. Walsh, or the 145th street station, was so much under the influe ice of liquor, at 6;40 P. M., April 16th, as to be unfit for duty. It was at the end oi his tour of duty. He said, " Not guilty.” Captain Cortright said he saw the officer at 6:40, On horseback, between 152 d and 153 d streets. He •aw, by his unsteady way in the saddle, the way he held the reins in the left hand, the right band hold ing on to the horse’s inane, that he was drunk, lhe body was swaying back and forth, and the horse carried him to the front of the stable door, then stopped, to let him dismount. He loosened his hold of the horse's mane, raised his right leg to dis mount, and came tumbling down with a grunt. He got up and slid the stable door open, and the horeo walked in; he followed, leaning on the horse s .•addle and girth. The captain went up and said, •‘Officer, what is the matter ?” He turned and sail, ••Nothing.” The captain then said, “You are in •loxicated. Come in. I want to examine vou.’ They went in the station house together. Walsh refused his breath to be smelled, and shut close his mouth. But in a conversation the captain caught the breath and smelled liquor. The officer was then asked to walk the floor. He steadied himself and tried to look sober, and eyed his right leg as he put it ,«ut. When he got to the opposite side of the room he staggered and came to a stand-still. The clothes Were covered with dirt, the coat was torn, and his bat was crushed in at the top. The officer was sent in the back room, and the doorman was sent out to take care of the horse. In the stable there was no body present but the two; in the station house Bergen nt Woodward was behind the desk. In the street there was nobody to see the officer s condi tion. ••Did you charge him with being under the influ ence of liquor ?” . ••I asked where he came from. ‘Have you fallen from your horse ?’ Ho said, • I haven’t been on any horse.' ‘No, where did you come from ?’ 'Kings bridge road.' ’How did you get here?’ *On horse.' 'What have you been drinking ?’ ‘Well,’ he says, 'I am going to tell you—you are try ng to mix me all up.* The only person present D the office was Sergeant Woodward. Officers were in too back room. He was coming in from his afternoon tour. His face was flushed, the eyea fceffc bleed* •hot, and he staggerfid." The captain was cross-examined as to the horse Walsh rode. ‘•you the horse Walsh had that day?" •• Yes, sir.” . , ••Do you know its habits as to Its be ng ft horse that required considerable skill to handle?” "The horse was very easy to handle that day; ■while drunk it carried him along and into the Counsel wanted to prove it the most fractious horse in the precinct. He didn’t; it never injured anybody. Counsel wanted to know if a person just out of the saddle wouldn’t have the appearance of being under the influence of liquor. No. A p rson might feel stiff, but it wouldn’t give the breath the smell of liquor, or make a man incapable of walking on a straight line. Sergeant Woodward said Walsh was drunk be yond a doubt. He couldn't stand or walk straight or talk straight. The captain requested him to walk in front of the desk, and it would have been necessary for a crack to be five feet wide for him to walk ou.it. His talk was thick, like a person under the influence of liquor. Walsh, in his own behalf, went over all he did that day on and off post. When his tour was up. to make up time, he rode pretty quick to the station house, took the bridle off the horse, and Jed it to the watering trough; then went in the station-house, and the sergeant gave him a paper to sign, which he did, and just then the captain came in and said, ••You are drunk.” He replied, •• Captain, you are making a mistake.” They made him walk the line, and, being stiff, coming out of the saddle, he was not as lively as he might be. When told a com plaint would be made, he asked the doctor to be sent for. Ordered in the back room, he went in and •at down by several officers playing dominoes. When the doctor didn t come he wont to bed. “Do you remember seeing the captain in the sta ble?” asked the Commissioner. “No, sir." ••Do you remember falling down under the horse ?” '•No, sir; I never fell off a horse in my life." •'He rolled off,” said the captain. “You don’t remember the big gate being open and having a conversation with the captain in the •table ?” “No, sir.” •• And the first you saw of the captain was in the itation-house?" “Yes, sir.” He was asked if he drank anything that day. No, not in several months. The horse was known as the "Colonel.” It only had three legs. When the fourth leg however did get up, he was a “puller.” He was off at the word “go.” The fourth leg was spavined, but when )he warmed up he couldn’t be held, he was a “legger." Several officers who were in the back room play ing dominoes when he came in, didn’t notice his condition. Roundsman Wagner saw Walsh riding in. The horse was excited, and he told the officer to give it feed, but no water, when he stabled it. The officer appeared to have the horse well in hand. Walsh was appointed in 83. has bad fifteen com plaints. This is likely to be the last. The Eighth Precinct had AN OVERHAULING. Powers was late at roll call. He couldn’t contra dict it. There was a second charge reporting the disposi tion of a prisoner in citizen’s dress. He thought he had that privilege on his day off. Flood, in conversation over ten minutes with a watchman, was asking if he heard any shooting in his vicinity. Bishop came on the floor without his shield. It was in his blouse at home. Had he gone to get it, he would have been late at roll call. Smith was absent from drill, or late getting there. He said he <as in time, but leit the floor to go to the water closet. Sergeant Allen didn't see him. QUEER MATTERS IN THE SIXTEENTH. Levine, of the Twentieth street station, was •barged with losing his fire key. Ho said he took a prisoner to court leaving his fire key and revolver in the closet of the sleeping-room. When he came back from court, the fire key and revolver had been abstracted from the closet. '• Sergeant, how is it that a robbery in the Station House has not been discovered. What kind of de tectives have you?” asked the Commissioner. “ O, not very good on that case," replied Sargeant Lonsdale. “A robbery under their nose and eyes. If what the patrolman says be true, that he left the pro perty there in the station, and that it was stolen in a few hours absence, it is not very creditable to the detectives of that Precinct. I want an explanation. AVbat efforts have been made to recover the pro perty ?” •' Every man in the house has been delegated a detective,” said Sergeant Lonsdale. •' Is there any one under suspicion ?” •• None, except policemen. It occurred two weeks •go and every effort has been made to find it.” “ I don’t mean to let it go this way. Men who are to protect property, find it stolen in the Station Houses. Say to the captain that I feel chagrined and mortified. It becomes the detectives of that - Irecinct to show their skill and ability or others had better be selected.” CURIOSITY. Dolan, of the Thirtieth street station, was found pitting in a restaurant on Seventh avenue. He said a waiter called him to eject two mon that refused to pay for their oysters, and wanted liquor. They were gone when be got there. One of them kicked the proprietor on the leg where he had a boil, an I he sat down in a chair to look at it. The officer wasn't two minutes in. Sergeant Westervelt said the officer sat in a chair with his feet cocked on a table, and the hat at his BAD FOR A ROUNDSMAN. Roundsman Dunnerly, of Tremont, was absent from return roll-call at half-past six o’clock. The roundsman entered the station-house at half-past five, Uy down on the bed with boots and clothes on •nd feel asleep. He said he was very exhausted, waiting on a sick child. He sat down on the bed •nd did not intend to fall asleep. Sergeant Webb said the roundsman when became down looked as if he had been in liquor; his hat was smashed, and his coat all muddy, lace was red •nd eyes bloodshot, and he couldn't talk straight. He looked as if he had been sleeping off a drunk. He wouldn't have let him go on duty. SMOKED OUT. Clark, of the same precinct, was timed in a •witch-house twenty-five minutes. The roundsman smoked him out. The officer has been eighteen years on the force, and has a clean record. •• Where have you done duty ?*' asked the Com missioner, ••The Eighteenth, Twenty-first, Thirty.first, and Thirty-third." “ All the time on patrol duty ?" •'No; special deteotiv duty.” “The season I a«k you is, that you have been kreeated with great indulgence.” '•x\o, sir;. do more than others." Schmidt, of Tre mo nt, instead of petroling, was found coming out of Barn-yard Place, his residence, lie said he was in to the water-closet. AN INNOCENT DUCK. Purcel), of the Kingsbridge station, was found coming out of bis boarding-house. The roundsman had been looking an hour and ten minutes lor him. •' You have been on the force since last Novem ber?” remarked the Commissioner. '•Yes, sir.” ••Wheredid you live?" •‘ln the city." •' Were you brought up in the city ?" ••No; iu the country." “ How long in the city Y* ••Five years." ••I thought you had an innocent look,” said the Commissioner, smiling. A STRICT POLICE ORDER. Godson, of Old Slip, was in the liquor saloon, 90 Fulton street. He said the captain gave orders to notify shopkeepers not to throw any dirty or muddy water on the street. One of the employees threw ■ome water out, and he just stepped in to tell him of the order. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. O'Connor, of the Thirty-fifth street station, was found by Farley in the storm door of the liquor •tore at Third avenue and Thirty-fourth street. He said he was in trying the door. “ To enforce the Excise law ?” asked the Commis sioner. ••Yes, sir." ••H was within five minutes of the time for clos ing. 12:56." said ftie Commissioner, looking up. »• How far did you get in ?” •• Ths enclosure of the storm door." *• He was standing this way in the corner," said Farley. “He was with the bartender; I saw him band the bartender a glass. He said he drank noth ing.’’ ••I drank nothing." ••What were yon doing—trying a glass without liquor Y* said the Commissioner. ••I had no glass.” ••The roundsman says he sawyov with a glass. He couldn't be mistaken." ~ "J went off post lb try the door." ••If you had tried it from the sidewalk, you wouldn’t have been off post.” “He was in the corner and th® barkeeper along side, and he handed the glass to the barkeeper,” •aid Farley. BEER AND CARDS. Maguire, JMcNeely and Henze, of the Prince street station, were found in a lager-beer saloon, 43 Thomp son street. They were sent out on the morning of the 18th in citizen’s clothes to arrest Italians dis turbing the contents of ash barrels. When time was up, returning to the station house, they stepped in this saloon, and were found there by Roundsman Dougherty., They were seated at a table and cards before them. Two other officers were in, but man aged to get out. Henze pleaded guilty. It was a rainy, raw morn ing, Monday a weak ago. A quarter to eight, on bis way back to the station house, being out two hours, he stepped into this place and asked to have a cup of coffee. He didn t take notice who.were in. He had been out all night, in addition to this two hours in the morning. Ho was not playing cards. McNeely said he went in to get a cup of coffee. Maguire said he was not in the place. The pro prietor of the store would swear he was not there. •' Well, we will see if ti.e roundsman has made a mistake,” said the Commissioner. “ Roundsman, are you mistaken as to Maguire ?” •• No; I am as positive of that as I am standing here. He made au excuse for being iu that he fo.- lowed the rest in.” ■■ He asked McNeely on the station-house steps, and that is the excuse he made. I never said a word.” •• Saloons seem to have a fascination for you, or you are unjustly charged.” “ This is the first I have ever had.” “June 3d. absent from post in a saloon; thirty days’ fine. Is that correct ?" “ Yes. sir; that was a saloon case I was impli cated in.” Coming out of a ballway leading to a saloon, I have no doubt.” ••No: an eating-house.” •• The last is off post drinking a cup of coffee." •• That was in a hallway.” Joseph Walker, the proprietor of No 43 Thomp son street, said be could not say who were in the saloon that morning. WHAT THE COMMISSIONER WILL LOOK FOR. Tuomev. of the Prince street station, was found across Canal street, iu the Fifth Ward—his post was the Eighth. He said be was a stranger and didn't know the boundaries of his post, and he had occa sion to go to the water-closet. •• You didn’t know across the street was in an other precinct ?” •• No.” ••You said a moment apo it was a strange post and you were not acquainted with the boundary. Are you trying to make me think you were across irom one precinct to another and not know it ? if you do you are more stupid than I think you are.” “I was in the middle of the street.” “Did you find a water-closet in the middle of the street ?*' “Yes, sir.” “I will look forthat,” said the Commissioner. "The southwest corner of Canal and Hudson streets.” “ I don’t feel won, I haven’t had breakfast yet,” said the officer. Roundsman Wiegand said be found the officer across the street in conversation with a Fifth Ward officer. He naked him what he was doing there. He said looking for a water-closet. The rounds man told him be was going in the wrong direction. JUST "FANNED” HIM. It was charged that Roundsman Michael Goody assaulted Citizen Edward Clines. When the case was called, it was found that Clines, after waiting an hour or more in the court-room, had left. He got thirsty, somebody asked him out to have a drink, ho went and faded to return. The Commissioner thought they could go on without Clines, there were so many witnesses pres ent to testify to the outrage on a citizen, who didn’t think himself abused. And yet, according to a number of witnesses who championed Clines, he was first “bounced” from a liquor saloon, and as be stood on the pavement with his “ wipe ” to a c osed-up, bleeding " star-gazer.” the roundsman came up and ordered him to move on. He didn't at the word "go,” and he got a cuff on the right •• listener ” that knocked off his tile. Clines looked around astonished and got a shove from which he ieli, and when down was kicked. When he got up on his "pins ” he got a whack on the back of the bead which made the blood flow as freely as the ruby was already trickling over his eyes in front, that was a description of the outrage by •• disinter ested ” citizen*—all volunteers in the interest of justice. As one said, "It might have been my lather or my brother, that is why I appear.” According to the roundsman, Clines was only • fanned,’ and what be got he deserved. Witnesses said Clines was a regular ■• bum.” Clines went in with a follow tramp and wanted drinks •• hung up.” The barkeeper relusod. There was a fight and be was “fired out.” Standing on the sidewalk a crowd collected and the roundsman ordered him to •• move on.” He didn’t, and Coody gave bimashovo. He refused to go. When he •• collared ” Clines, who tried to give him the foot and take bis club; they wrestled, and the officer just "fanned ” him with the end of his club, a little “ poke ”in the back oi the bead. He did not give him a "clout” on tbo side of the head, did not throw hm, and when down kick him. Au equal number of witnesses swore that there was no slap, no knock down, no kicking. Clines Was taken iu, given a mouth the same day by the magistrate, the next discharged, the mother interceding for him. The case was wellaud truly tried; and to get at the truth, if it were possible topnt it in a scale, and weigh it, a just verdict might be reached. The police would have no difficulty in obtaining a patent at Washington in the getting up oi evidence for a defence. They can work wonders in hunting up witnesses for themselves. OUR FIRE OEPARTiiEIT. A LARGE NUMBER OF TRIALS— AUTOMATIC SIGNALS — SICK FIREMEN. The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Fire Commissioners was held, as usual, last Wednesday morning, with President Purroy in the chair. The Board was occupied for nearly two hours in the trials of the following-named firemen: HAD A FIGHT. Fireman William Corrigan, of Engine Company No. 5, was charged, first, with being engaged in an altercation with Fireman Androw Clancy, of the same company, on April 19th, and using vile lan guage to him; also, second, admitting to Foreman Thomas J. Ahearn that he used the language im puted to him. and said he could prove it. He pleaded guilty, and said : "I have no excuse to offer. I used the language, but I did not mean it, and I apologized to Clancy for it.” He was fined ten days’ pay. AN ASSAULT. Fireman Michael Campbell, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 8, was charged, first, that while on sick leave, and without provocation, he assaulted a citizen named John D. Fieken, of No. 24 Varick street, striking him about the head and cutting his right lip and ear, and otherwise injuring him so bad as to confine him to his bod. This occurred on April 19th. Second, with being under the influence of liquor on the same day. Third, taking off his uniform without permission and going in the street in citizen's dress, also on the same day. He pleaded not guilty. The complainant, Mr. Frirken, did not put in an appearance when his name was called. Fireman James Rehi.l said: “I know nothing about this case of assault, nor of his being under the influence of liquor, as I was not in quarters at the time.” Captain Cosgrove—“The complainant came to the bouse and made the charges now before the Board, and he said that Rehill knew all about the matters contained in the complaints.” Rebill, recalled, said: "I did not tell the captain that I was present when the assault was committed. I called at Campbell’s house and had a short conver sation with him.” President Purroy—" Captain, I can’t see how a case can be made out against Campbell while the complainant is not present, and if you, Captain, can produce Frioken, we will adjourn the case.” Captain Cosgrove—" Fricken came to the truck house and told me all about the esse, and made the charges which I have forwarded. lie bore evi dences of the assault.” The case was then adjourned. VERY SERIOUS CHA GE3. Fireman. John D. Dalrymple, of Hook and Ladder Company No. 4, had me iu.iuwing serious cuarges to answer, the offenses all having been committed on April 19th: First, with being intoxicated; second, using dis respectlul language to Foreman William J. Colby of the company, and saying to him ; third, absent without leave for three hours and a half; and fourth, with assaulting Captain Colby, and repeatedly striking him in the face. The captain’s face plainly showed the marks of the assault which had been committed upon him. To all the charges the accused pleaded not guilty. The case was adjourned. NEGLECT OF DUTY. Fireman John Ward (No. 2), of Hook and Ladder Company No. 18, was charged with, that while on house watch on April 23, he wont to sleep in a spare stall, and also with failing to make an entry in the "Journal” upon the receipt oi an alarm of fire. Ho pleaded not guilty. Assistant Foreman Beshinger said: Th® captain went to the pipe and whistled up stairs for Ward to come down stairs, as he did not find him at his post. The captain told me to go to the rear of the bouse to see if I could not catch a horse which was loose. 1 did so. and saw Ward laying on a bale of hay in the stall, asleep, as I supposed. The captain caught one horse and I another. I then looked at the Journal, but found no entry of the station there.” Captain Thomas Ahearn said: •• I had seven men in the company, and there is a rule to permit the men to go to bed in the daytime, when thev are over-fatigued. I did not ask the men to come down to answer alarms for any other stations than those we do duty in. There is no rule for this, but it was discretionary with me, and I had only seven men to do duty, and when I have a full company the men come down and answer all alarms.” President Purroy—•• I have seen just such cases as this in other companies—the men do not an swer all alarms. It you are •bort-handed, you should let the Chief know, and not make your own rules.” Commissioner Croker—"l think charges should be made against the captain for this.” Ward, in his own behalf, said: “I was on house watch at the time. I was iu the cellar for an hour, trying to fix the furnace, and after I got it all right the station came in, as I stood talking to a police man by the door. I then went and hitched-up the team. One of the horses was green, and it was hard work to get him to take his proper place at the pole, and if I had been asleep I could not have done what I did. Nobody helped pie to hitch up.” President Purroy—"Thiscase will be referred to the Chief, to look into the matter, and the case will,stand adjourn® i to Saturday.” SICK HEADACHE.

Assistant Foreman—•• While I. was on the ap paratus floor talking to a fireman, the accused came to me and said: • bay, I don’t care lor you nor your buss neither. I have got a reputation, but not like yours.' I told him to go away from me and stop talking like that, and he said * don't give me any of •your bluff.’ I then told him to go up-stairs, and he re used to do so, and I then ordered his refusal to be put on the journal. Ho then came to me again, and putting his finger in my face said ho was a dangerous and that my time in the department was short, ana that when 1 came here to-day I must have my tongue slit.” Fireman Henry Romer said: "I was on house watch on the day in question and there was some discussion between the assistant loreman and Har grove, and I did not hear the conversation; it seemed to be very quiet.

DECISIONS RENDERED. The Board met again yesterday and decided tbe cases of Firemen John Ward (No. 2), John J. Sulli van and Edward Hargrove, all of Hook and Ladder Co. No. 18 (given above in full), and fined them each the loss of three days’ pay, and ordered them also to be transferred. Foreman Henry W. Romer, of ihe same company, who did not “remember any thing” of tbe affairs of the company, was fined three days’ pay also, and is to be transferred. Foreman hern and Assistant Foreman Beshinger were placed on trial for not responding toaW alarms of fire, and were ordered to be reprimanded alter they had pleaded guilty. RESIGNED. Fireman John D. Dalrymple, of Hook and Ladder Co. No. 4 (see case above given), sent in his resigna tion yesterday, which the Board accepted. THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS PROTECTED. The past has been an eventful week in tbe yet unwritten history of the old Volunteer Fire Depart ment of this city. Men are born and die, but, as has been so truly said, “That tbe bad they do in life in remembered, and the good is soon forgot, ten;” but we find it to be with many wifo were members of tbe old department in its palmy days, who to-day owe all that they possess in wealth and social distinction to the fact of their former connec tion with the old system. These parasites forget that there are still thousands of the old vets yet alive, every one of whom will remember who it was that so persistently worked to break up their Benevolent Fund. The 3,000 members of the Ex empt and Volunteer Firemen’s Associations of this c ty have reason to feel gratified at the good news from Albany, and the joint committees of both or ganizations are entitled to their thanks for the able and persistent manner in which they so success fully resisted the traitorous course adopted to work upon the fears of the poor, helpless old men, whom they imagined were without help or advice, but they found out that such was not the case when, step by step, they were met. and blocked in their schemes, by the members of the committee. The bill was reached last Thursday by the intro duction of an amendment, giving 15 per cent, to the Board of Underwriters for the insurance patrol, and was declared to have been adopted. Exception was taken to th® Speaker’s decision, which led to another vote, when it met with an inglorious de feat. Upon final passage it received 85 votes to 2 against it, the others refraining from voting, not caring to go upon record as against it. Now, some people, who are " supposed” to repre sent the exempt firemen of this city, have all along staked thoir reputation "that it would be impossi ble to pass the bill without tbe division of tbe fund being made.” It might be in order to inquire what are they going to do about it? Will the Board of Trustees cut aloof from these would-be Solomons, aud hereafter think and act for themselves, as they were elected to do, or will they continue to play into the hands of the few wiseacres who warned them so often as to how little influence they had at Albany, and to take the bone that they were willing to throw to them? We shall wait and see. Of one thing we are sure, however—it is that th® members of the Exempt Association now know who it was that exposed the sneaking attempt that was made a year ago to steal the bill through without their knowledge or consent, and they also know that but for the efforts made by the Volunteer Fire mens’ Association that the fund would have been scattered, if not entirely taken away from them. The lesson taught by the passage of th® bill is, that New York city is not the State by any means, and that when a few men get together and parcel out the rights of their fellowmen without any re gard to justice or mercy, that they undertake too much, and that when the attempted outrage is made known to the interested parties throughout the State, It does not take much of a mathemati cian to tell how much is loft when you take fifty nine from sixty. Such was tbe state of tbe case last week at Albany when New York found herself alone, and not even that consolation was left to the plot ters because only two poor miserable sinners could be found who were willing to vote against the claim of tbe widow and the orphans in that city. Among the many good friends iu ;the Legislature to whom the old firemen owe a debt of eternal grati tude, may be mentioned Assemblymen Martin, Finn, uliivan, Brennan, Langbein, Smith, Mulry, Kenney and ethers of jthi® city; Conover, of West chester, and glorious Smith, of Orange. Erwin fairly ontdid himself, while Gen. Curtis looked out for the enemies* flank. Tbe Rensselaer contingent were deployed as skirmishers, while the brunt of the battle, under the lead of Fra. k Ueise. of the Buffalo Blues, was fought to a successful issue, ending in a complete rout of the enemy. Senators Murphy and Daly, Plunkett and others also lent a hand in the good work, not forgetting that old war horse Gen. Frank Spinola, who could not resist giving a helping hand to the old boys with whom he spent so many of his younger days as an old Volunteer Fireman. President Murphy and Vice- President Armstrong, of the State Firemen’s Amo ciation, worked with a will, aiding the Law and Legislative Committee to the successful termination of the issue, JEFFERSON, NO. 26.
