BEFORE COMMISSIONER MoCLAVE.
ALMOST A BREAK.
O’Keefe was found in the liquor store, No. 384
Third avenue, by his roundsman. He admitted
the charge. Taken sick-on Third avenue, he went
in the saloon, it was the only place he could go.
But he took hat and coat off, sat down in one chair
and cocked bis feet un in another, while he lolled
lack. What benefit was there in taking coat and
hat off? He said be bad to go io the water closet.
Bis trouble came on him like cholera morbus.
Roundsman Fariey said a citizen came to the
Station House and said there was an officer drunk
in a saloon on Third avenue. Be went to the saloon
and found the officer there, sitting, coat and hat off,
and feet resting on another chair. He brought
O’Keefe to the Station House and bad h m ex
amined. The officer had been drinking but was
sot under the influence of liquor.
•‘That was a fine position, lying back in your
shirtsleeves in a liquor saloon when you should
toe doing duty,” said the Commissioner.
‘•Yes, sir; but at the time my stomach was like
to burst.”
“Go to the station-house, not a liquor saloon, if
yen were going to burst.”
“ I didn't feel sick enough to report sick.’’
“Better do that than have a citizen go to the sta
tion-house and report a drunken policeman in a
liquor saloon.”
•• It was because I was sick on the avenue I wont
dn there.”
“lam human and apt to get sick like yourself.
But, when 1 do, I don’t go in a liquor saloon, sit
down and put up my feet on another chair. The
only fortunate thing for you is, that had they left
you a little longer there, you would hare been
found under the influence of liquor, and dismissed
from the force. 1 have no doubt had you been left
long enough there, you would have been found un
der the influence of liquor. You are fortunate if
you come out of this as it is. You are, I see by your
record, a new man on the lorce.”
HIS WIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN POST.
Brady, of the First Precinct, couldn’t be found on
yostby his roundsman. He said he left it to go home
andsee his wife, who was terribly sick; she was'adeli
cate woman and subject to occasional hemorrhage.
The roundsman he said knew his wife to be deli
cate.
“All be said to me was, ‘l’ve been home,’ *’ said
Ihott.
* Why didn’t you say to the roundsman, I left my
post and went home to see my wife,” said the Com
missioner. “I went to see her because she was
Buffering from a hemorrhage; I took the risk to
lake a run home and see her, and if you could be of
any service. Roundsman, is she the sickly woman
he says you know her to be ?”
“ Well, she’s a small woman,” said Roundsman
Plott. “I was speaking to her a night or two ago,
and she was then in good enough health.”
NONSENSE.
Bunn had a very short post. White street from
West Broadway to Broadway, and the roundsman
traveled it up and down lor half an hour, from 11
io 11:30, and couldn’t find him.
He said he w sin the doorway of an establish
ment on White street. The owner had informed
liim that some one of his clerks was in the habit of
coming there at night, opening the place and weed
ing it. He was laying to catch the thief.
The roundsman said he could not have been in
that doorway thirty minutes and he not see him or
toe seen by the officer.
IN THE SHADE WITH A FEMALE.
Mulchay was timed thirty minutes in a ha’lway
nearly opposite the Star Theatre. The officer sai i
he did not dispute the time, but he was attending
to his duty. At half-past ten the hacks and coaches
collect. If the Jehus didn t see him they would
drive right in front of the theatre, and block the
cars on Broadway. In the meantime this lady came
along—a respectable woman; she stood in the door
to “pipe off ” somebody coming out of the theatre.
Be thought it no harm to stand there, as he was
Also looking out for the theatre.
“Don’t you think it bad to be thirteen minutes
with a female in the dark ?” asked the Commis
sioner.
“I wasn’t in company any more than speaking
fcnd answering a question now and then.
Roundsman Gick said he saw the shadows in the
Shade, and when time was up and the woman lelt,
he went back and asked what was up. The officer
did not tell him the lady was ‘-piping ” somebody
coming from the Star Theatre.
HE CHARGES PERJURY TO HIS ROUNDSMAN.
Gilmartin, of the Eighth Precinct, denied sitting
on a window-sill, as charged by Roundsman Dough
erty.
••Look out for yourself if he proves his charge
Conclusively,” said the Commissioner.
The roundsman described the locality of the win
dow Bill, and bight. As he turned the corner, the
officer sat on the window 8;11. with arms crossed
and stick hanging down. The roundsman stopped
and looked at him a moment, and asked him what
was the matter; and he walked off, without making
jmy reply.
“ Are you sure you are correct in the charge that
too w;as sitting ?” asked the Commissioner.
“lam. I have sworn to it.”
“ I was not sitting there; I was leaning against
the window,” said the officer, “ and the stick was
on the ground. I couldn't sit; the sill slanted a
foot. He says : 'Officer, you better get up and
Stand on your feet;’ and then he walked down
Grand street as quick as he could. That’s all was
Baid.”
“ You don’t believe that that roundsman would
Bwear to what is false ?”
•• He has here. I positively swear he never said
mother word.”
“ How long on the force ? ’
“ Two years.”
“ This roundsman has the reputation for ver
icity. He testifies that he saw you sitting on the
Bill. Now, you are making a serious charge when
you undertake to say that ho is not swearing to the
truth. If he has swo.n faiFe, be is not fit to be on
the force; if his testimony is true, you are not fit
to be on the force. We find this reckless swearing
with you yeung men. You have no right to make
this statement. You send him out a branded liar.”
“ What am I to do. if innocent ?’*
“All the c rcumstances indicate you were sit
ting. All the difference is that you claim that you
were leaning, or r esting. You have come near to
what ho says—come so near, I am inclined to think
his statement true.”
MAY MAKE AN OFFICER IN TIME.
Toffey, Thirty-third Precinct, was charged with be
ing twelve minutes in conversation with a citizen at
168th street. The officer sa;d: “I faithfully patroll
ed my post, and discharged all my duties. A gen
tleman, who is here, said he saw a gentleman go in
Blot with a woman.”
“ Did you attend to that ?”
“No. It did not seem over three or four min
utes.”
“Did you look for these parties ?’*
“No; the roundsman came up and questioned
me about the conversation, and they were gone.”
“ Did you tell the roundsman what you are telling
mo ?”
“ No.”
**How long on the force?”
41 Six weeks.”
“ How old are you ?’*
“ About 81. I was born in 1858.”
“Don’t you think you were too long?”
“No, I don’t think I was.”
GAVE UP IN DISGUST.
McQuade, of the Thirty-third Precinct, went on
post at Bin the morning. Fifteen minutes after
ward Roundsman Murphy bad occasion to see him
on police business, and went out to hunt for him.
He traveled two hours and a half, and gave up the
Search, and went to the station house to see if he had
been brought in by some larmer s truck. He wasn’t
there. The roundsman returned and told Fitzger
ald to cover bis own and McQuade's posts. He never
saw him. But McQuade turned up alive at the sta
tion house at relieving time.
FRITZ PLEADS HARD FOR MERCY.
The Police Department have a Fritz, but it is not
likely tbat they will long possess him. He belongs
to the Thirty-second Precinct. There were two
charges preferred against him.
The first was being absent from post at a shaft on
Tenth avenue and 165th street, and in the rear of a
liquor saloon.
The charge was true, be said; he was sick with a
sort of cholera morbus. He sickened soon after
dinner, twelve o’clock, when he turned out. He
didn’t go in the saloon, but went in the rear and
asked the bartender to give him some cholera
drops.
“What did the drops consist of?” asked the Com
missioner.
“Jamaica ginger and brandy.”
“ Is that the usual dose ?”
“I took a pretty good glass of brandy and gin
ger.”
“Did it cure you ?”
“ It helped me for ten or fifteen minutes.”
“ What did you do then ?”
He said he remained on post; he had relief for t-en
or fifteen minutes, then be went in and took a sec
ond dose, and coming out be met the captain.
Captain Cortright said at two P. M. be found the
officer absent from the shaft, and saw him coming
from the liquor saloon. He asked him what he was
do.ng there. He said he bad been there for a sand
wich. He didn’t say anything about dysentery or
getting drops; simply to get this sandwich.
“ What about the sandwich ?’’ asked the Commis
sioner.
“I had some dry bread and cheese.”
“A good mixture. Dry bread and cheese, and
Jamaica ginger and brandy,” remarked the Com
missioner.
The second charge followed the first—intoxica
tion. The captain said he saw Fritz coms along
from where he had got this sandwich; ha saw that
the officer was under the influence of liquor, and
he ordered him to the station-house. The officer
staggered and his face was flushed. He asked him
why he didn’t have his liquor before he went out.
He had only been an hour out. When ordered to go
to the station-house he stood still, and the captain
had to go back and order him in. Ho went to the
station-house and was kept there by the captain till
six o’clock.
The officer said he was sick.
“This follows after the charge of coming out of
the liquor saloon ?”
“Yes, sir.” replied the captain.
“ This is tbe first time it ever occurred,” said the
officer. “I have a large family to support.”
*1 suppose tbat is so,” replied the Commis
sioner.
“ I am not a drinking man,” said the officer, ap
pealingly.
“That is notan excuse,” was the Commissioner's
rejoinder.
“Can’t I apologize to you? It i« my first of
fense,” pleaded the officer.
“It is not with me,” replied the Commissioner.
‘•But I have never known a case of intoxication,
where clearly proven, that there was not a dis
missal from the force. I don’t know what the
Board will do with this case, but it Is my impres
sion that they will take that view of it.”
“I have a family,’ said the officer, appealingly.
“Thsre is nothing I conceive worse,” said the
Commissioner, “ than carrying a club and a loaded
revolver while on duty to protect life and property,
and to be intoxicated and not know what one is do
ing. Why, he might kill 1”
“ I always know what lam about. I have a clear
conscience.”
“You cannot be clear when intoxicated,” re
jnarked the Commissioner
COULDN’T HOLD ON.
Flaherty, of the Fifteenth Precinct, entered the
station-house before he was relieved, while tbe sec
tion was on the floor, about to go out.
“Icouldn t wait,” said Flaherty,
“ When he came in and saw the men on the floor,
he made a dash down stairs,” said Sergt. Douglas.
•• When they had gone out, he ducked up and
askud if he should go out on post.”
“I think I could have struggled three minutes
with your complaint,” said Com. McClave.
“I was twenty minutes or more,” said the
officer. •• It was a life and death question between.,
me and .” ’
“Closed,” said the Commissioner.
WAS THIRSTY.
Dugan had just left the Station House when ho
was found in a boiler bouse on St. Nicholas avenue.
He was thirsty be said, and went in to get watered.
DEPENDED ON HIS MOTHER.
O’Brien, who was ten minutes late at roll call,
said his mother was in the habit of rousing him.
She had lelt him to keep bachelor’s hall, and he
slept on.
THE LAST POLICE EXCURSION.
When the police were given their last free excur
sion, th'-y were to be on hand to report for duty at
seven in the evening. About thirty of them strag
gled in between eight and ten o’clock. That is the
last excursion on which the police go free.
OUR FioWmEH.
A LARGE BATCH OF TRIALS—AB
SENT WITHOUT LEAVE—INTOX
ICATION—SICK FIREMEN — AU
TOMATIC CONNECTIONS, Etc.
The Board of Fire Commissioners held their reg
ular weekly meeting on last Wednesday morning,
wi:h President Purroy in tbe chair, and sat in
judgment upon the largest number of trials which
have been called at any one meeting for several
years, and they were as follows:
ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE.
Fireman Charles H. Thompson, of Engine Co. No.
18, was absent without leave lor forty minutes, on
the 31st ult. He pleaded guilty, and said:
•• When I left the company quarters, I went to
the uruggist’s to get some medicine, fer I was sick,
and it took a longer time to make up the prescrip
tion than I thought it would,”
He was fined one day’s pay.
Fireman John J. O’Neil, of Hook and Ladder Co.
No. 1, was absent for one hour and five minutes on
June 7th. He pleaded guilty, and said:
“ When I went home to supper I stopped at the
tailor’s to get measured for a suit of clothes, but
there were other customers in there ahead of me,
and I had to wait and take my turn.”
President Purroy—“You have been here before
on charges, and this is your third one, and you
have been in the department only since 1886. Now,
that won't do. Don’t you come here again.”
He was fiued two days’ pay.
Fireman Michael Gleason, of Hook and Ladder
Co. No. 15, was absent for one hour and twenty-five
minutes on June 7.
He pleaded guilty and said -“ I slept until eight
o’clock tbat moruing at homo, and when I woke up
1 hurried and took the horse car and got to my
company as soon as I could.”
President Purroy—“You are doing very well; you
have been in the Department only two months and
now up on charges. That will do.”
He was fined two days’ pay.
Fireman Mark Ke-ly, of Engine Co. No. 33, was
absent one hour and ten minutes on June 5.
He pleaded guilty and said—“On the evening in
question I was requested to stand up at a christen
ing of a child, and tbe circumstances were such I
tried to get away by four o’clock, at which time I
was going to ask the captain for a leave of absence,
but I found I could not get away until six o’clock,
and when we got to the priest's house he was not
in, and so we had to wait lor him. The party said
1 must go, and I could not refuse them, and I
went.”
He was fined three days’ pay.
Fireman John F. Dietsch, of Engine Co. No. 41,
was absent for four hours on June 2.
He pleaded guilty and said—“l overstayed my
time and I could not help it.”
He was fined two days pay.
Fireman Win. E. McDonald, of Engine Co No. 44
was absent for six hours and twenty-five minutes
on June 8.
He pleaded guilty and said—“l was detailed to
the theatre the night before, and when I got home
I found my child was sick. My wife told
me tbe medicine was out, and I went
and had it renewed. Then I took it
home. While sitting by the side of my wife I fell
asleep, and my wife, thinking I was off duty, let me
sleep.”
President Purroy—“You are an old offender, and
this is your fifth charge.”
He was fined five days' pay.
Fireman Arthur J. O’Neil, of Hook and Ladder
Company No. 2, was absent for ten hours and twen
ty minutes, on June 8.
He pleaded guilty, and said: “I had had twelve
hours special leave of absence previously, on ac
count of sickness in my family, When my time
was up I sent word to the captain asking for an ex
tension of the leave. My children were sick, and I
could not leave them. I thought their disease was
contagious, as there had been lately some cases of
smallpox in the neighborhood. I did not get tbe
extension I asked for.”
President Purroy —“You did not get an exten
sion, birt you stayed away, though, just the same.
That is a poor excuse.”
He was fined two days' pay.
NO STEAM UP.
Fireman Michael P. Crowley, of Engine Company
No. 27. was charged, that, while on house-watch,
June 8, be failed to keep sufficient steam in the
boiler of the engine to enable it to work upon ar
riving at a fire. He pleaded not guilty.
Engineer Daniel J. Fagin testified: “ I had charge
of the engine on the moruing of that day. I was in
bed when some citizens came in and said there was
a fire near us. We went to the place, and when we
got there I found that the engine could not work;
there was not enough steam on. The rule is to
keep fifteen pounds of steam on while the apparatus
is in the house. After wo got out of the house it
took me ten minutes before I got enough steam to
work the engine. I did not look at the steam gauge
when we left tbe house, but when we got to the fire
I looked and found only two pounds marked on the
gauge. In two minutes I Lad ten pounds of steam
up.”
Crowley, in his own behalf, said : “I had sufficient
steam on when the engine left the house. The en
gine is very slow in steaming up. I had thirteen
pounds of steam on when we left tbe bouse, and
Engineer Fagan’s statement is wrong. The engine
will not work at seven pounds pressure. Tbe engine
loses steam going to a station, and will not work at
less that twenty-live pounds.”
Captain Farrell: •• The engine Las a slow-steam
ing boiler, and will not work under twenty-five
pounds pressure. It will 'turn over’ at fifteen
pounds, though. 1 have given orders to keep
twenty or twenty-five pounds of steam up while
the engine is in the house. The engine is a Clapp
& Jones one, and one of the first built.”
The case was referred to Chief Shay for examina
tion, and sentence was suspended.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR.
Engineer John J. Tobin, of Engine Company No.
30, was under tbe influence of liquor on May 30th
and May 31st. He pleaded guilty and said :
“ I went home to supper, and did not feel well. I
had a bilious attack, and feeling very bad I took
two drinks, and not being used to drinking they
went to my head, and I did not know what I was
doing. In regard to the second charge, I was at the
cotton fire, and what with the heat and smoke I got
sick again, and I got all wet, and bad no coat or hat
on, and I took some more drinks; I Lad three or
four, which took effect at once, and I was not able
to do anything. I took the drinks to keep mo from
taking cold.”
Captain Scannell: “He has not drank anything
in some time, and is generally a good man. When
he camo back from supper on th® first occasion he
was under the influence of liquor. The next day Ho
seemed to be all right, but when I saw him at the
fire he was staggering all around, and I was afraid
he might get hurt by the engine. He has been all
right for the last fifteen months, and had been very
steady."
He was fined ten days' pay.
Fireman Patrick Conlin, of Hook and Ladder
Company No. 4, was charged with being under the
influence of liquor on June 7th. He pleaded not
guilty, and said :
“I went to supper, and on my way I met some
friends, and we had three or four drinks. I was not
drunk, and could do any duty given me. I do
drink once in a great while, but never,get drunk.
On this occasion somebody had taken away my
bootsand put another pair in my place, for a joke,
I suppose, and in trying to get them on it made me
appear drunk.”
Foreman Colby : “He was staggering all around
the bunk-room and keeping everybody awake, and
was making a general nuisance of himself. Ho is a
first-class man when away from liquor, but he has
been tippling lately. He is the best man in the
house except for his drinking.”
Assistant Foreman O’Rourke: “I was going to
bed, and Conlin was asking about his boots; he was
not sober, nor would I like to say he was drunk.
He is one of the best men in the house, as far as
work and doing fire duty are conserned.”
He was fined ten days' pay.
DID NOT GO WITH THE APPARATUS.
Engineer James Carolan, of Engine Company No.
23, did not go with the engine to a fire on June 2d.
He pleaded guilty and said :
** In turning out of bed, I knocked my boots over,
and I was very much confused. When I got my
boots on, the apparatus had left the house and I
ran after it as fast as I could. I did not see the en
gine until 1 got back to quarters when I saw that it
was boused.”
Captain Connor: “He did not go with the appra
tus, but whon we got back to quarters he reported
to me and told me about his boots, and that he
could not get down stairs in time to go with us.
He is practically a good man. but he would be de
linquent if it was tolerated.”
He was fined two days' pay.
DID NOT RESPOND.
Fireman Jacob Trott, of Engine Company No. 48,
failed to respond to an alarm of fire on June sth.
He pleaded guilty and said: “ I overslept myself,
and I don’t know how it occurred and it never hap
pened before.”
He was fined two days* pay.
WAS HE “FIRED” OUT.
Tireman Joseph Murphy, of Engine Company
No. 44, was charged with forcibly ejecting from the
company quarters a citizen named Harry Mayer,
who was sent by his employer to the engine house
on an errand to Murphy. Murphy was also charged
with using profane language to Mayer. Ho pleaded
not guilty to both charges.
Mayer testified—“l went to the engine house to
ask Murphy why be did not go to the store and try
on a suit of citizen’s clothes which be had ordered.
My employer is a tailor, and he sent me to the en
gine house. Murphy got very angry and told me
to go to h—l, and he said he had not ordered any
clothes. Then he took me by the neck and “fired”
me out of the engine house. I did not use any bad
language to him nor provoke him.”
Murphy, in his own behalf, said: “This man
came in and said his boss had sent him to me to go
and try on a coat, which he had made for me. I
told him I had not ordered any coat. He said the
clothes were cut, and ha would compel me to take
them. I did not put him out of the engine-house;
I did not even touch him; nor did I use any pro
fane language to him.”
Engineer Walsh said : “ Mayer wanted Murphy
to take a suit of clothes he had not ordered. Mayer
said Murphy did order them, and Murphy said he
did not. I did not see Murphy put Mayer out of
the house, and, if he had, I was there and would
have seen him.”
The Board dismissed the case as not being
proved.

SICK FIREMEN.
There was a further reduction in the sick and in
jured list of our brave fire laddies last week, the
number recorded by the medical officers being but
forty-two.
A BASEBALL MATCH AND A PRESENTATION.
Last Saturday a very enjoyable time was had at
Oak Point, given by the Inspectors and Clerks of
tbe Building Bureau of Fire Headquarters to their
numerous friends.
Tbe party left the pier at 130th street and Harlem
River at 1 o’clock, and arrived at Oak Point about
twenty-five minutes later, where they were sup
plied with a good, substantial lunch. After the in
spectors and clerks had refreshed sufficiently, the
captains of the respective teams got their men in
baseball order and the game was called at 2 o’clock.
Judge “Tony” Hartman kindly consented to act as
umpire. The game was not as perfect as one is apt
to see on the Polo Grounds, but when it comes to
good hearty laughter it has seldom been equalled.
The screams of the inspectors, when one of their
men was running around the bases, was something
that would cause wooded Indians to blush; but as
the grounds at Oak Point are not provided with
electric lights, the game had to be stopped when
five innings had been played, as follows:
123 4 5
Inspectors 0 0 8 2 9—19
Clerks 3 6 5 9 12—35
At tbe conclusion of the game the party adjourn
ed to the hotel for refreshments, where they did
justice to an elegant dinner. As the coffee was be
ing passed around there was a slight tapping on
tbe dinner plates, when Thos. McCabe, who had re
covered from his exhaustive labors at third base,
arose and said:
“Inspectors of the Building Department: Allow
me. on behalf of the clerks, to thank you for the
hearty manner in which you have accepted their
challenge to play ball, and also for the manner in
which you have provided for the-day’s enjoyment
for ourselves and our friends, and we can assure
you it will be a day long to be remembered and
looked back to with the utmost pleasure, and, last
ly, allow me to thank you for the kind manner in
which you responded to the testimonial to our fel
low-clerk, George F. Scannell.”
Mr. Scannell was then called up to the head of the
table where Mr. McCabe was, who, continuing, said:
“I will call you ’George.’ George, allow me to
present to you this locket and chain as a token of
the friendship existing between you and tbe em
ployees of the Building Department. There may
be differences between you and the head of the
Department, but not among the rank and file, and
let me say right here, gentlemen, that I have worked
side by side with George Scanneil for nearly five
years, and I have associated with him outside of
the Department, and during that time I have never
seen him angry. Hoping tbat you will live for
years to come, and that it will serve to remind you
of your friends in the Building Department, I will
now close.” (Loud applause.)
Mr. Scannell blushed very modestly, and in a
quiet manner said:
•• Well, gentlemen, I thank you all for this mani
festation of your kindness and esteem, and let me
add that, for the first time in my life, I am ‘knocked
out’ completely.”
On the obverse side of the locket is engraved “G.
F. 8.,” in a monogram, and on the reverse the fol
lowing: “Presented by his friends in the Building
Bureau, June 11. 1887.”
Then followed singing by Wm. Sauer, Michael
Reid, James Carroll and George Scannell, which
was kept up on the return trip. Captain Sauer, of
the Clerks’ nine, and Captain Felter, of the In
spectors’ nine, worked hard all day for the enjoy
ment of the guests. Everybody voted that the day
could not have been better, and that every one felt
that in the way of enjoyment it was a day to be
long remembered.
THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN’S ASSOCIATION.
The Volunteer Firemen’s Association has secured
an engine of the double-deck pattern, which will
arrive in this city to-day. She will be placed in tbe
hands of a painter and made up in a substantial
manner, in time lor the parade at Troy.
Wo clip the following extract from an insurance
paper published in this city, which will go far to
ward pointing out the danger that is ahead, and is
another proof of what may ba expected should our
firemen allow a few firemen politicians to entangle
them in the maelstrom of politics, by engaging in
a torchlight parade on the eve of an exciting elec
tion in this city next October :
•• The Governor has approved what is known as
the Plunkett bill, which gives to the Exempt Fire
men’s Association tbe entire proceeds of tbe two
per cent, tax levied upon the foreign fire insurance
companies doing business in this city. * * * *
Not until the bill had reached the Governor did the
active firemen or the insurance companies manifest
any interest in the bill, and as tbe exempts were
quite as active as they in presenting their claims to
tbe Governor, he, quite naturally, approved the
bill, which had been passed almost unanimously in
both houses of the Legislature. The Exempt Asso.
ciation represents members of the old Volunteer
Fire Department and not the members of the pres
ent force. * * * * Another Legislature will be
asked to remedv this great injustice in some way,
and there is little doubt that sufficient influence will
be brought to bear to secure justice for the present
active fire department. The insurance companies
that contribute the entire amount of this fund are
entitled, as a matter of courtesy at least, to a voice
in its distribution.”
We publish the above extract, which shows that
the Exempts are not to be allowed to remain in
undisturbed possession for tho next ten years.
Already the conference committee of the Volunteer
I'iremen’s Association, have sounded the “general
alarm,” and at their meeting, held at No. 143 East
Eighth street, last Wednesday evening, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That in the judgment of tbe Volunteer
Firemen’s Committee on Conference, we do not
deem it wise to parade as a body of firemen, in tbe
month of October, that being the time when the
political excitement will be at its Light, and such
parade, on our part, will insure a cert dn opposition
to us at the next session of the Legislature, to the
injury of the Widow's and Orphans’ Fund of Ex
empt firemen.
JOHN J. FINN, Chairman.
DAVID J. McCarthy, Secretary.
The above resolution was adopted unanimously,
and a copy ordered to be presented to President
Stephenson, of thojExempt Association.
The Volunteer Association held an adjourned
meeting at Clarendon Hall, to consider a revision of
the by-laws. Chairman Gilon read them, and they
were adopted by sections and afterward as a whole.
We note that the initiation to membership was
raised to $2. A fee of admission to membership in
the Mutual Aid class was ordered, which will go in
to effect after the 31st of December, 1887. It will
also make some difference in the labors of the
board of directors, as under the old by-laws every
sick applicant was entitled to a weekly benefit of
$5. Now it will be necessary for an applicant to be
in actual need, as the directors have discretionary
powers. This is as it should be. Why should the
directors, who are poor working men, be compelled
to lose their time lor the purpose of doling out
money to men who are in affluent circumstances ?
The organization was not'gotten up to give money
to every one who saw fit to apply for it, ■ but was
really intended to assist those of its members who,
through sJckijess distress, wore in needy cir
cumstances. The men who want the earth may
wince at the change, but plenty of good (men will
rejoice at it. Tho regular monthly meeting will
take place at Clarendon Hall on Friday evening
next, and the Troy party on Saturday evening, at
the rooms in Eighth street.
The Exempt Association of Brooklyn, E. D.,
brought home an engine last Friday. She was for
merly in use in Red Bank, N. J., and was secured
through the efforts of the great undertaker of dead
engines, Tom Poto, of Philadelphia. Tbe exempts
gave her a trial the same night and, it is said, will
enter her in the trials at Troy in August next, she
has a ten inch pump and can work forty men on
her at a time.
CLINTON ASSOCIATION.
Clinton (41) Association held a quarterly meeting
at Walhalla Hall on Tuesday evening. 14th inst.
President George W. Wheeler presiding. After rou
tine business the president congratulated the
members on the fact that the long disputed matter
of the tax on premiums of foreign fire insurauce
companies doing business in the city of New York
reverting to the Exempt Firemen’s Benevolent
Fund had now become a law, which would enable
the trustees to continue the charity to deserving
widows and disabled and indigent firemen of the
late Volunteer Fire Department.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this association, as
well as all exempt firemen, are eminently due and
are hereby tendered to Edmund Stephenson, acting
President of the Association of Exempt Firemen;
John Decker, ex-OUief Engineer; Jas, Y. Watkins,
Trustee, and associates, for theix* valuable and suc
cessful efforts to secure the passage of the bill re
taining the income irom the two per cent, tax on
premium on foreign fire insurance companies doing
business in the city of New York, lor tea years to the
“ Exempt Firemen’s Benevolent Fund,” so that tbe
widows and others who have been heretofore aided
by the trustees will not be deprived of the small
stipend said trustees have been enabled to in a
measure relieve the wants of the needy.
The following was also unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this association respectfully rec
ommends to his Honor the Mayor, our President,
George W. Wheeler, for the position of Fire Com
missioner, considering that his long service and ex
perience as a fireman eminently fits him for the
place, having served ten years in Engine Co. No. 41,
also in the Exempt Engine Company, as well as be
ing long connected with the Chief Engineer’s office.
A resolution to appoint a committee for a picnic
or other demonstration was. with power to call a
special meeting on the subject, adopted. The pres
ident appointed Michael Kuntz, Peter Vetter, Jr.*
Geo. W. Wood, Thos. Nettafield, and Andrew Mc-
Cormick. _
Sullivan Loses His Mustache.—
Rose Biglin. the terror of the Fourth Ward, was
arrested by Officer Sullivan lor being drunk and
disorderly. Sullivan got her all right in the sta
tion and in front of the desk, when she turned on
him and didn’t leave him a hair of bis mustache.
Judge Smith gave Rose six months. By that time
Sullivan’s mustache will have cropped out again in
all its pristine glory.

BECAUSE HE WAS STEALING CHERRIES FROM
A TREE.
At Montrose, on Friday evening, a boy named
Bolan, who lives in Orange Valley, N. J., was shot by
Charles Smith. The lad was np a tree on Smith’s
property stealing cherries. Smith came out with a
shotgun and blazed away at him. The fa 4 fell to
the ground, and an examination showed he was
seriously injur«Sr ?e was conveyed to his home
in Orange Valley.
Smith has been annoyed of late by boys who steal
his cherries and invade his premises, and he had
been awaiting with his shot-gun the coming of the
boy aon Friday night. It could not be learned on
Friday evening whether Bolan was accompanied by
any companions. Young Bolan was taken to the
Memorial Hospital. The physicians, on exaxaming
him, found the shot had pierced bis chest and
lungs, and several of the shots were imbedded in
his head.
People who witnessed the shooting said that
Smith walked up to within a few feet of Bolan, and,
levelling his weapon, blazed away. He discharged
both barrels of the gun, and almost all of the shot
entered Bolan’s body.
Smith was arrested by the South Orange police
and locked up. There is great indignatiou against
Smith.

THE AGED RETAINED, AND THE YOUNG DIS
CHARGED.
Mary Butler, an aged lady, very respectably
dressed, and James Murphy, probably her son.
were charged with shoplifting at the store of Mr.
Jones, on Eighth avenue.
Olivia Nelson, the saleslady, said she saw the
woman in the store, the man she didn't. After the
arrest she identified a sack that she had sold and
packed up; another sack not wrapped up, that had
not been sold.
Officer O’Brien said—“ I first saw these parties
together at Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue.
They went into Altman’s. Then crossed over to
Eighth avenue and the lady went into Jones's store
on Eighth avenue. Tho man remained there ten
minutes waiting on the sidewalk. When she came
out of tbe store, the two went in the liquor stoae,
corner of Eighteenth street and Eighth avenue,
and came out carrying a satchel. She went into
Jones s store again and after twenty minutes came
out, and he arrested the two. He was carrying the
satchel tbat had this stolen property.”
“ You didn’t see this man in the store ?” asked
counsel.
“No.”
Tbe man was acquitted, the woman was found
guilty.
The officer said she was an old offender. She was
sent to the Island for six months.

THE MAN SENT TO THE PENITENTIARY. THE

Patrick and Rose Moran live at No. 884 First ave
nue. On tbe Bth inst. they had a disagreement and
Pat knocked her down and kicked her. She did
nothing to provoke this treatment.
“I am a hard working man,” said Pat.
“Did you assault her ?” asked the Court.
“She had a lot of neighbors in the house, all
pretty drunk.’*
“The wife says /ou are drunk continually ?**
“ Not always. "
“ Does be give anything for your support ?’*
“Once in a while. I have three children. This
is the first time 1 have had him arrested, but he is
in the habit of beating me. He is drunk very
often.”
” Can you get along without him ?'*
“ I’ll have to starve to get along without him.”
“The wife says you are in the habit of beating
her ?”
“ No, sir; the neighbors can prove it is not so.”
“ Does he give you his wages ?”
“Part.”
“Fifteen days,” said the Court.
Longer the wife and children would have to be
committed to the Almshouse.
Temptation.
YOUNGSTERS THAT COULDN’T RESIST IT.
There was a pane of glass broken in the tobacco
nist shop of Bernard Kregier, in Cortlandt street. A
glazier couldn’t be found, or they deemed the cost
too much, and they put a piece of pasteboard over
the broken pane. This was a temptation to the lit
tle Arabs of the street. Passing, they would stop,
flatten their noses against the window, to see how
all was inside. If there was a show, down went the
pasteboard, in went a hand, and out came a hand
full of tobacco. Little Tom Carney and Henry Hal
len were caught taking sixty cents worth of tobacco
from the window.
The little fellows were put in the custody of their
parents.
A Woman’s Body Taken from the
River.— Officer James L. Henry, of the Twenty
fifth Precinct, about six o’clock yesterday morning

floating in the North river at tbe foot of Leroy
street. She was neatly, though plainly dressed,
was about five feet three inches in Light, and had
light-brown hair. Tbe body had only been in the
water about a day. There were no marks of violence
nor anything by which she could be identified. Her
pocketbook contained $5.76, an English half-penny
and a watch key.

FOREPAUGH’S_ PREFATORY.
I had arrived at my managerial majority and bad been
more than twenty-one years a showman before I had
place or opportunity to satisfy in part my ambition to
cater to the tastes and wants of the people of New York
and the millions who settle about the busy metropolis to
enjoy its advantages and pleasures. Emboldened by the
encouragement that I received during my lesseeship of
Madison Square Garden, I have been stimulated to
make a still more ambitious, and I may say, risky ven
ture, in exhibiting all my shows, for the first time, in
their vast enti. ety, to this community. The Staten Isl
and Amusement Company have supplied me with an
expansive location for my New Olympia, where, with
their co operation, I propose to occupy a space of not less
than Fifteen Acres, with the Largest Show of Mod
ern Times. It is not the purpose of this preliminary
announcement to enter into details, only to mention the
fact that the First Performance will be given Tuesday
afternoon. June 28 (continuing every Afternoon and
Night, except Sunday, until further notice), and barely
touch upon the sensational peculiarities of an unique and
classical entertainment. The sports, games, contests,
races and athletics will consist of every competitive ex
hibition known to the days of antiquity or our own times.
The ample space afforded at Erastina will be fully im
proved in every department of the combined Hippo
drome, Circus, Menagerie and Wild West Exhibi
tions. The wild beasts will be placed in a jungle in the
woods, with no further restraint than may be necessary
to secure safety to patrons. The same liberal spirit which
throws open the doors of Museums and Libraries on the
Sabbath, has determined me to open all my Camps, Mu
seums and Menageries for Sunday view, and as on that
day many of the less favored have their only opportunity
for an outing and communion with nature, the admission
to the enclosure on Sunday will be twenty-five cents. A
more satisfactory and voluminous statement ot my pur
poses will appear in next Sunday’s issue of this journal.
In conclusion, permit me to assure the public that no
effort or expense will be spared to make Forepaugh’s
New Olympia the theme of every tongue and the Sum
mer season’s pleasure resort.
