THE EXCISE M.ICUINE.
NICE PLUMS FOR OFFICE HOLDERS.
Working Positions and Others
That Look Like Sinecures.
A Use That Useless Inspectors
Mljjlit Be JPut To.
Like the rest of the machines in the city, it costs
quite a little sum of money to run the Excise, and
there are any number of plums attached to it.
True, it bringc in quite a revenue to the city, but
to collect is also rather expensive.
There are three Commissioners at $5,000 each; a
counsel and attorney at law, at a cost of $5,000; a
secretary, at $2,500; a cashier, $2,000; stenographer,
$2,000, and a record clerk, at $1,200.
This makes a total of $27,700 for the intellectual
parts of the machine, so well greased that the gear
ing never gets out of order from pay-day to pay
day, even longer, from the year’s end to year’s
end.
UNDER THE “ LEG ” DEPARTMENT
we find a Chief Inspector at $1,500 a year; three
special inspectors at the same salary; six sub
inspectors at $1,200 each, and twenty-tour ordinary
inspectors at SI,OOO each, and a janitress, which is
necessary, at S6OO.
This makes $102,600, which, with the brains of
the machine, $27,700, makes the total cost of run
ning it $130,300.
What they all do for their money we would like
to know. Nobody outside knows. The inspectors
are never hoard of by outsiders as doing any
thing.
HOW INSPECTORS COULD BE EMPLOYED.
If the Board would employ them to go round to
test the liquors and beers sold, and being judges of
such stuff, to have the licenses revoked for the
offense of selling adulterated beer and liquor, the
public would not grudge twice the amount expend
ed on Inspector’s salaries.
They have tea tasters at the Exchange, who never
swallow a drop of the tea they test, and pass on it;
why couldn’t these inspectors test the liquors with
out gobbling it?
But if it isn’t human for a fellow to spit out the
liquor once on the palate, why shouldn’t these in
spectors collect samples of the adulterated liquor,
take it to headquarters and have it tested, as the oil
is at Fire Department headquarters.
True, that would necessitate the creation of a
new office and another fair salary, but no sensible
man would grudge the cost.
The housewife, when she burns her kerosene, is
assured that, under ordinary circumstances, her
lamp won’t explode, as the Eire Department is all
the time on the lookout, and after those that sell it.
If caught selling an explosive oil, the license to sell
is revoked.
Now, for the same purpose, why shouldn’t these
inspectors do something for their money, and guar
antee to the public that when paying a fair price
for wine, liquor or beer, they are getting it unadul
terated ? If it is adulterated, revoke the license at
once.
There isn’t a Justice, from the Tombs up to the
Supreme Court, that won't go in to sustain a pure
*• nip,” off the bench, or at recess.
All the town would be with the Board, if they
would put their inspectors to that practical use.
THE INSPECTORS
don’t need to bunt up people that are selling with
out license, or violating the law. In every station
house there is a register kept of the houses licensed
to sell liquor. The policeman on a post can close
up a place selling without a license, or where it has
expired; they know that fact as well as the inspec
tor irom the Board of Excise, and the officer, not
the inspector, makes the arrest.
If there is a violation of the law on Sunday, or at
any other time, it is the officer, not the inspector,
that makes the arrest.
Then again, when it comes to selling beer or li
quor to minors, an Inspector of the Excise Board is
never heard of as being the complainant, It is al
ways an agent of Mr. Geery’s society, and the party
is tried in the Special Sessions, if he has elected to
bo tried there.
No Inspector of the Excise Board, we believe, has
ever made a complaint of selling liquor to minors
and prosecuting in either of the Sessions and ob
tained a conviction.
Then what do these inspectors do, that is not
done most effectively by the police?
The thirty-four inspectors haven’t shown by any
report published, or otherwise, what they have
done, and what they are doing for their money.
The agents of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, and the agents for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, and the agents for the
Suppression of Vice, all come into court and show
that they are doing something. These Excise In
spectors never'show anything but their warrant at
the bank on the first of the month.
The truth is, the hard work lor the Excise Board
is all done by the police and completed at the Spe
cial or General Sessions.
WHEN THE WORK IS DONE.
When the liquor dealer is convicted or pleads
guilty, a transcript of the conviction is sent to the
Board of Excise and the license is revoked. Then
the inspector puts on his coat, goes up to the place
and possesses himself of the license.
That’s about the size of his work. If it isn’t, then
we all would like to hear of it.
The hearings of the Board are on the complaints
of citizens, grievances that won’t be heard in a po
lice court because they won’t hold water, and a rev
ocation of the license seldom occurs.
Sometimes appeals are taken from convictions.
Thus, in the case of Mary Darham, counsel sought
to re-obtain for her her lost license by mandamus.
Counsel held the wrong person was convicted—
neither proprietor or bartender was found at the
bar.
Judge Donohue told counsel that certiorari was
the proper way to proceed; the Excise Board re
voked the license on the certificate of conviction
from the court.
Lawyers may as well make a note of this case and
save fooling themselves and their clients.
THERE ARE SIX CLASSES OF LICENSES,
and licenses in their order were granted for the
year as follows:
First-class hotels 34
Second-class hotels 80
Third-class hotels or saloons 6,795
Fourth-class storekeepers 536
Fith, ale and beer licensee 673
Sixth, ale, beer and wine 549
Making a total of licensed places in the city, by
the new and old Board, of 8,667, from which a rev
enue was derived of $827,370.
ON THE RACK.
The Summer vacation of the courts is over, and
bail, as well as prison cases, will now be taken up.
The follo wing cases for violation of the Excise law

NO TRIALS—A DULL WEEK—GOS
SIP—SAD DEATH OF JERRY —
THE VETERANS’ EXCURSION.
FOR THE CHARITABLE EUND.
Next Tuesday evening the third annual afternoon
and evening barbecue and festival of the Volunteer
Firemen’s Association will be held at Sulzer’s Har
lem and East River Park and Casino. This annual
picnic is given for the purpose of increasing the
charitable fund of the association, and all the old
firemen and iheir friends should do their utmost to
make the affair a great success. The more money
in the funds the more generous can the association
be to those who are suffering from sickness and
poverty. During the afternoon and evening a roast
ed ox will be served, there will be races for prizes,
tug of war, grand fire scene with double-deck fire
engine, a display of fireworks and many other in
teresting and entertaining features. The officers of
the association feel convinced that this will prove
the most successful festival which the firemen have
yet given.
'lhe convention which framed the existing Con
stitution of the United States met in Philadelphia
from May until September, 1787, and in order to
celebrate the centennial of that event the Philadel
phia volunteer firemen are preparing to hold a con
vention and a firemen's parade, to be participated in
by volunteer firemen from all parts of the country.
The Volunteer Association of this city have decided
to take part therein, and will parade about two
hundred men in uniform, taking with them their
handsome engine, which was awarded the service
of silver at the late firemen’s parade at Troy, N. Y.
To Mr. John Dailey of the Apparatus Committee be
longs the credit ot her beautiful decoration.
THE VETERAN FIREMEN.
All the arrangements for the departure of the
Veteran Firemen of this city on their trip to Cali
fornia have been perfected. The Exempt and the
Volunteer Firemen's Associations are to meet to
morrow morning at eight o’clock, at the corner of
Tenth street and Broadway. A platform has been
erected in front of the Veterans’ headquarters, from
which the procession will be reviewed by many
prominent officials. The march will be down
Broadway, and crossing in front of the City Hall,
will continue down Park Row into Broadway to the
Battery, where boats will be taken for the. West
Shore Railroad.
GOSSIP.
There were no trials last week, as both the Com
missioners were away.
Foreman D. H. Callaghan of Engine Company
No. 31 is spending his portion of eternity at Green
wood Lake. He has been sixteen years in the busi
ness, or, as he says, long enough to own an engine
and team of his own.
Jos. O’Grady, the assistant foreman of Engine
Company No. 31, keeps the boys steady while the
captain is away. Ho has been ten years a fireman.
Fireman BoilenbacLer of Engine Company No.
31, the other night, about 11 P. M., went down
in the cellar of the engine house to rake up the fur
nace fire. In about seven seconds he rushed up
and, making straight for the man at the desk, said,
“There is a ghost in the cellar. Come down with
me.'' “No,” said the other man; “I’m well enough
here.” Bollenbacher swore it was a ghost, as he
felt it flutter by his head, and he could not be in
duced to go down again that night. In the morn
ing, with a big coat and another fireman, he went
down again, and the men heard shouts, blows,
screams and an awful time generally, then quiet,
after which both men appeared bearing some hid
eous monster, and staggering under the load.
The horrid thing was nailed up in the bed room,
and now, as it is pointed out, all bauds speak
proudly of the great bravery of Bollenbacher. It
Was a bat.
Assistant Foreman Joe Moss, of Engino Company
No. 55, is away on his vacation, up in the Catskills,
fishing. Not long since he sent the boys of his
company a letter stating that he had caught some
splendid trout, and would send them a box. But
the fish dealer in Fulton market in some way mis
understood the order, and brought to the boys a
box of eels. Now, while Moss is studying up to tell
how he caught these trout, the boys are quietly,
patiently and eagerly waiting to greet him with a
club.
Fireman T. J. Brosnan, of Engine Company No.
55, will shortly seek connubial bliss. He will for
sake single blessedness for the joys of matrimony.
Shake, T. J. We congratulate you.
Captain McAvoy, of Engine Company No. 55, is
one of the old-time members of the department.
They tell of his being caught in a building on fire
and having to jump out of the window to saver his
life. The smoke, however was so thick that he
walked on it, and only that he happened to run
against a telegraph pole, by which he slid down, he
would be there yet.
Fireman Arthur Searles, of Engine Company No.
55, is only thirty years old, but he has been all over
the world. The Battler says that when Searles
starts out to tell one of his yarns, be swells their
heads up every time.
Fireman William Gleason, alias the Rattler, is
driver of Engine Company No. 55. In connection
with the captain he is training two pure-braed
Freuch poodles to draw the engine, and is scoring
great success.
Captain Sattler, of Hook and Ladder Company No.
2, is acting chief of Chief Fisher’s battalion. He is
twenty-two years in the department.
Chas. A. Woodhull is engineer of Engine Com
pany No. 8. He joined in 1868, and Is considered a
first-class mechanic.
Foreman Hern, of 16 Truck, has just returned
from his vacation, and shows with great pride a
handsome badge which he won as champion eater
of bull-nose clams.
The total amount of hose in the department
measures 167,905 feet. This, if laid in a straight
line, would reach from the Battery up Third ave
nue to the Harlem River and back, twice. It is
nearly thirty-two miles in length.
Captain Shay, of Engine Company No. 14, is away
up iu the Adirondack Mountains, and Assistant
Foreman Morris is in charge of the company.
Alfred A. Rough drives the tender and Michael
Umack the engine of 14 Engine Company. The for
mer has seen seven, and the latter four years of
duty, and both are good men.
Fireman Wm. Lanser, of Engine Company No. 13,
is a first-class fireman, and like all good men, has
his peculiarities. His is singing. He oftimes car
ols all he knows of a song, which consists of the
following line, “My path through life is sad and
lonely now.” That's all he knows ot it and they do
say that he will try to learn the rest after he has
been retired. But it’s immense to hear him Bing
this one line.
The men of the Repair yard are kept very busy
getting ready for the annual parade, and there are
now undergoing repairs three engines, a truck and
a water tower.
The membership of Hugh Bonner Cooncil, Order
American Firemen, is increasing very rapidly, and
new names coming in all the time. The member
ship now exceeds 300, and it is only organized about
three weeks.
P. H. Downey, engineer of Engine Company No.
4, has just returned from a trip to Saratoga, where
he spent his vacation. He has been a member of
the Department since its beginning, and his record
is without a stain.
Superintendent A. O. Hull, of the Fire Patrol,
has not yet fully recovered from his recent acci
dent, when his band was badly hurt. He intends
going to California with the Veteran Firemen s As
sociation, and is making great preparations for
enjoying himself. He is ons of the leading officers
of this association.
Assistant Foreman Flock, of Engine Company No.
10, is one of the members who has twenty years to
his credit as a fireman, and his record is not blurred
by a single charge against him-
Peter Shields, of Fire Patrol Company No. 1, has
been a member of this organization for thirty-four
years, and he looks as lively as a much younger
man.
Captain Rafferty, of Fire Patrol No. 1, has been
twenty-seven years in this branch of the business.
He was a member of 41 Engine, in the Volunteer
Department.
There is something affecting in these old firemen's
associations. Men in those days wero made of
pretty good stuff, who could drop everything at the
alarm of fire, and with their very life in their
bauds rush out, forgetting all save duty to be
done. They are thinning out, and every day brings
them nearer to the day when all must go. Soon
alas ! too soon—there will be none left. But around
the recollections of old New York there will be no
lustre brighter than that which shines and glorifies
the memory of New York city’s volunteer firemen.
In 1868 Foreman Alex. McNeil was assistant fore
man of Engine Company No. 8, then located at 106
E. Fiftieth street.
Out of all the hotels in this city— about 246—0n1y
eighteen have complied with the law in relation to
ropes as fire-escapes. In the above eighteen only
two are what is known as first class—the rest are
the ordinary ones. This shows that it is the every
day individual rather than the wealthy man that
acts at once when the law is explained to him.
The August pay roll for the Fire Department foots
up $127,188.14.
Business in the building lino is improving in this
city. Plans amounting to $977,780 were filed last
week. The lowest figure was eighty dollars for
a woodshed, and the highest SIOO,OOO for a three
story club-house 100 feet high.
SAD DEATH OF “JERRY,” OF ENGINE COM-
PANY NO. 13.
On Tuesday morning last, the dog “Jerry,” the
faithful companion of the men of Engine Company
No. 13, was accidentally run over and killed. A
false alarm was sounded by a hewly-appointed and
over-ambitious “cop,” to which Engine 13 re
sponded, Jerry, according to his old custom, being
asleep near the engine, in readiness for any duty
which might devolve upon him.
When aroused from his sleep he sprang into the
street, where he was kicked by one of the engine
horses and thrown under the wheels of the tender,
which passed over him with fatal effect. Nothing
short of death could withhold him from attending
a fire. He has been known to be the first to reach
a fire with the use of only three of his feet, the
fourth being at the time “sick.” 'Tls needless to
say he shared the seat with the driver on his return.
One of the many privileges Jerry enjoyed among
the men was to be allowed to first receive his bath
under the pump at the engine house alter return
ing from a fire.

THE LAST RAID MADE FRIDAY NIGHT
TROUBLE IN THE OLD TWENTY-NINTH.
A raid was made on the house of assignation, No.
113 West Thirty-first street,'by Captain Reilly. The
house is in the vicinity of a church, and the Mayor
received a communication from the pastor of the
church informing him that they had been long
annoyed by this house. This led to the raid, lhe
same clergyman appeared against Capt. Williams on
his trial.
Friday night at the raid a very “ high-toned ”
class ot citizens, male and female, were arrested.
The madame, Charlotte Schultz, was held in SI,OOO
to answer.
A sort of a can-can dance was going on in,the
parlor, and the inmates were held as disorderly
persons and fined $lO each.
Hattie Grant said she was sitting in the parlor.
Minnie McLaughlin said she thought the house
was licensed and had nothing to say.
Jesse Grant said she had only been an inmate two
days, that ought to mitigate her case. The officer
said she had been but two days from the Island.
Maud Wilson said she was waiting lor a gentleman
friend.
Nellie Hathaway said she merely called in on a
friend when the police made their visit,
Maud Harlin was silent.
Harry White said he didn’t know that it was an
offense to visit there. The Justice said visitors to
a disorderly house became disorderly persons in
law.
The officer Baid Harry was waltzing.
Harry said that was no crime.
Charles Austin said he was simply sitting in the
parlor.
Charles Fleming questioned the right to lock a
man up for simply being there. But the Justice
cut him short, by saying $lO fine.
Eugene Ketch said he was in there trying to effect
the sale of a poodle to ono of the girls.
“ What did you value the poodle at ?” asked Jus
tice Gorman.
••$25.”
•• $lO fine,” said the Justice.
All paid the $lO, or it was paidjor them.
Tlie NlaiA “Nothing.”
BUT THE WOMAN CHARGED HIM WITH USING
A HATCHET.
Ellen Thompson and Bernard Donnelly live on
the same floor at No. 505 West Twenty-ninth street.
On the 29th of August, Ellen said, Barney and hiß
wife had a fight, and to eave her life, the wife ran
into Ellen’s bedroom. Barney came after her. and
Ellen told him he bad no business in her room. He
thereupon picked up an ax, without a handle, and
hit her on the head. She did nothing but prevent
him getting into her bedroom, to save the life of
Mrs. Donnelly.
*• I camo home from work on the 29th of August,
for dinner,” said Barney, “and after having it, lay
down to have a snooze. This woman came to the
door the worse for liquor. I said nothing to her
and closed the door. She came back again, and I
closed the door; I said nothing. She camo a third
time and burst the door in. I said nothing to her.
She went to the sink and got a can of wather an*
poured it over me. I said nothing. Then she fired
a kettle of wather at me. I said nothing. I went
to wash my hands, the floor was slippery, an’ she
fell agin the sink. There wasn't an ax inside the
house.”
Mary Kelly said she saw Barhdy come down BtairS
with an ax in his hand, and strike Mrs. Thompson.
Barney’s wife said: “My husband came home
from work and lay down on the lounge alter din
ner. Mrs. Thompson came and broke open the
door.”
“What was the trouble between you and this
woman?” asked the Court.
••Nothing. There was a girl came up and fired
some dirt in the house, and this woman fired it
twice. ”
•• How about the ax ?”
“There isn’t an ax in the house. This lady knows
there isn’t. She knows it wasn't an ax. Barney is
a sober, quiet man. he doesn’t drink. I never had
a cross word from him in my life.”
“ Wasn't Barney drunk this day when it occur
red ?”
•• I He came in and had his dinner
and lay down on the lounge.”
Barney was fined $lO.

ALLEGED CRIMINALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE
PROPERLY CONVICTED.
Joseph Campbell and four others were arrested
on suspicion in West Twenty-seventh street by offi
cer McGovern.
He said that the prisoner and three other boys,
about four o'clock Saturday morning, entered an
old lady’s house, took the key of the trunk from
her neck, and was opening it to ransack it, when
she woke, and they fled. He was sure that the pris
oner was one of the boys, but he hadn’t the proof.
About the same time, when a milkman was up in a
house delivering his milk, they attempted to run
off with horse and wagon so that they could drink
the milk at leisure. He caught Campbell, the others
escaped, and the milkman drove off.
Agent Stocking said he knew the boy Campbell to
be a notoriously bad character, who had been ar
rested before.
Justice Gorman told Stocking to make an affidavit
to that effect and he would send the boy to the
Refuge. The affidavit was made by Stocking, but
at the same time, he charged the accused with at
tempted larceny.
Justice Gorman said he couldn’t send the boy to
the Refuge on an affidavit which charged a crime;
that necessitated a trial, and returned the affidavit
to Stocking.
The officer was then ordered to make a charge of
attempted larceny against the boy.
The officer at first said he did not know where to
‘ find the milkman; he was somewhere in Twenty
eighth street. When told be must find him, he said
he would procure him at nine o'clock this morn
ing.
It may be fun to railroad alleged offenders and
save a little leg exercise, but the same is unfair and
illegal.
_A_n Old Couple’s IPigflit*
SHE GETS THE WORST OF IT, SHE THINKS.
Ellen Lazarus had her husband, Jacob, before
Justice Gorman, on the charge of abandonment.
Jacob’s counsel said they had been married quite
a number of years, and Ibis was the first time
Jacob bad been arraigned in any court. The
mother had two sons, each earning $lO a week.
Jacob had always l ean in the habit of giving her
all bis pay, but one week that ho was sick, he only
gave her $5. The old lady kicked, and wouldn’t
cook anything for him; and, in fact, bounced him
out of the house, and wouldn't let him in. Then
she came and got this warrant for abandonment.
To show the intentions of the man, he had insured
his life for $2,000 for her benefit, and that at least
cost him SSO.
The old woman said she had been married to him
twenty-four years, and had put up with his freaks
of bad temper long enough. He never gave her but
three, four and five dollars to pay debts and buy
shoes.
•• How much do you want your husband to give
you for your support ?” asked the Justice.
•• Seven or eight dollars a week.”
“Well, give her four dollars a week,” said the
Justice.
A smile camo over the old man’s face at this de
cision.
She looked sour and wanted to know what right a
lawyer had to poke his nose in the case.
A. ‘Wall Street Sneak.
HE PRETENDED TO BE VERY “GREEN.”
When William Wilson, a genteel sneak-thief, en
tered No. 100 Wall street, it was with intent to steal
something of higher value than an old overcoat.
But to hold him for trial on the charge of intent to
steal it made little difference whether it was an old
shoe or a hundred thousand dollars in bonds.
The thief seemed in doubt to plead, and the court
informed him after the complaint had been read
that he was charged with entering this building
with intent to commit a larceny. Still he remained
silent. He was again asked what business he bad
entering through the window. He still remained
silent.
“Did pou intend to steal?” asked the court.
“No, I didn’t intend to steal,” he replied.
Edith Parke, the janitress, said she saw prisoner
get in through the window and go around to an
office on the second floor. He got in through aback
landing. It was a quarter to eight in the morning,
when she was cleaning out the offices. No one was
in the buildiug but herself. When detected he fled.
Officer Taggart chased him a block; the last wit
ness was running and calling out “Stop thief.”
Defendant said he had a wife and child and a very
sick mother-in-law. He was once arrested but dis
charged.
The court sent him to the Island for six months.
Day’s Dong Day On,
AND THAT IS WHY THE ARREST WAS MADE.
Martin Shay was charged with being drunk and
disorderly by Officer Day, of the Twentieth Pre
cinct.
* * What act did he do that was disorderly ?” asked
Justice Gorman.
“He came out of a liquor saloon, and stood, and
he wouldn’t move on when I told him.”
“ 1 was no more drunk than lam now. If I had
been, I would acknowledge it,” said Shay. “1
wouldn’t come into court and lie for all New York.”
“But you had been drinking,’ remarked the
Justice.
“ I had taken a couifle of glasses, but they didn't
affect me.”
“ You didn’t move on when told ?”
“He came up where I was standing and said he
saw me drunk a few months ago, and said, ‘ I guess
I’ll take you in, it’s my long day to-naorrow.’ ”
“Have you any proof he was drunk, officer?”
asked the Justice.
“No, only my word.”
“ He is discharged,” said Justice Gorman. a

A Felony.
COUNSEL SHOULD HAVE PLEADED GUILTY
FOR HIS CLIENT.
It would have been better for Silas Kilday if bis
counsel had pleaded guilty—he might have got
three months in the Penitentiary; now he may get
five years in Sing Sing.
The complainant, Agnestia Brungue, keeps a gro
eery at No. 90 Mulberry street. On the 27th of Au.
gust she was in the store, when the prisoner came
in and asked for an envelope. She didn’t have it.
He went out and came back, and told her they were
stealing the cabbages. She preferred rather to
lose them than leave prisoner in the store. When
she didn’t leave, two of his associates came in and
held her while he stole $lO from tho money drawer.
In the drawer under, there were sll7, which they
missed.
Justice Smith said this was robbery, and sent the
case to the General Sessions.
CFlie Fire-. Escape.
HOW YOUNGSTERS ENTERED A HOUSE AND
ROBBED IT.
Three youngsters named Florence Sullivan, Wm.
Fitzpatrick and Lester McKenna, were charged with
| the larceny of a lime-piece from the mantel-piece of
[ the house of John H. Connolly.
i They got into the house by the fire-escape, stole
i the clock and pawned it for a dollar and a quarter.
' Hu-!’••an sn.’.d McKenna came to him and asked
[ him if be wanted to make soma money. He said
“Yes.” McKenna said “Come along.” He took
the suspender off a pair of pants and McKenna took
the clock, then Fitzprtrick pawned it. Fitzpatrick
was in the street when they came down. They spent
the money.
Fitzpatrick said he lived at No. 203 Elizabeth
street. He met them at No. 216, and he pawned the
clock at their request. He didn't know it was
stolen.
McKenna said he didn’t go in the room. He stood
on the fire-escape.
Mr. Jenkins said the job was put up by McKenna.
Fitzpatrick was discharged; judgment was sus
pended on Sullivan, and McKenna went to the
House of Refuge. /
Cabby Lost Mis Fare.
IT SERVED HIM RIGHT; HE SHOULD BE SUED
FOR FALSE ARREST.
Theodore Wise and Hattie Howard, a stylishly
dressed couple, were before Justice Gorman charged
with failing to pay a hackman with whom they had
been riding.
The arrest was made by Officer Perkins of the
Nineteenth Precinct.
Mr. Wise’s counsel said they did not refuse to pay
the hackman his fare—five dollars—but the trouble
was, his client had nothing less than a large bill.
At the last stopping place they were going in to
have refreshments and have the bill changed to pay
him. Defendant Wise showed him a iifty-dollar bill,
when the hackman tried to snatch it out of his
hand, and it was partly torn. The hackman wouldn’t
wail till the fifty-dollar bill was changed, but called
on Officer Perkins, who arrested the woman as well
as the man.
The fifty-dollar bill w«s produced, showing the
truth of the statement. The hackman didn’t deny
the story of counsel.
“How long had they been with you?” asked the
Justice.
“Five hours,” replied the hackman.
“Did you tell them your charges when you took
them ? ’
"No, but it is one dollar an hour.”
“They are discharged,” said the Justice.
“How am Ito get my fare?” asked the hackman.
“Sue for it,” said the Justice.
If he does, there will be two counter claims for
false arrest, which may bother him some.
A Daylight Assault.
ROWDYISM AND LYING LET OFF EASY.
August 22 officer Mooney arrested Arthur McCor
mick, a young man, for assaulting a girl on Chrystie
street. He saw the prisoner in Chrystie between
Broome and Delancey streets walking with two
women. The officer got as far as Broome and left
him. Half way up the block, he heard a scream
and noise, and going down saw a young woman on
the sidewa.k. The officer ran and arrested McCor
mick, and when he got back the girl was gone.
Frederick Kennedy, a young lad, said the prisoner
went to talk to two ladies out shopping. They
would not talk to him, and one of them wanted to
call an officer, and he hit the younger in the face
and kicked her in the stomach. Then he ran down
Broome street.
•• What became of the girl?” asked the Court.
"I don't know.”
“What time was this?”
“Two o’clock in the afternoon.”
Defendant said he was a 'longshoreman. Coming
through Chrystie street these two girls approached
him. He said he would have nothing to do with
them. One of them, half drunk, came toward him,
and he gave her a push, she fell, and this boy kept
yelling and the policeman came and arrested him.
“Are you a married man?” asked the Court.
“No, single.”
The boy Kennedy was recalled. He said the lady
was struck in the face, she fell, and cried “O
mamma,” then he kicked her and ran away.
Justice Murray voted to give him a year, Ford
and Patterson said three months was enough.
I-ifjiTloi- T>l<l It.
AND WIFE AND FAMILY SUFFERED WITH HIM.
William Doyle and Edward Powers were jointly
charged with stealing a box of wire clamps from
the store at No. 103 Chambers street. After steal
ing the box, Doyle went into the store from which
he stole it and borrowed a hammer, took the box to
the entrance of the building next door, and pried it
open, to see if the stufl was worth carrying off.
Both were together and examined the goods.
Powers, who claimed to be a printer, said he met
Doyle by accident, and walked up the street with
him.
The officer who made the arrest Baid both claimed
that they found the box on the sidewalk.
Doyle said he was the man that stole the box;
Powers was innocent.
Mrs. Powers, a young woman, dressed in mourn
ing, said her husband had been drinking for the
last four weeks and got in bad company. They had
been eleven years married, and he had never been
in trouble before. If he was sent up it would
break up her home.
They were both sent to the Penitentiary for three
months each.

inent newspaper man, and he
/ ijiwl said ,lis w * fe l,a<l ,)een an inva ~
lid for years, and had found
JBfcgggK safi immediate and sure relief by
taking Dr. Baird’s Granules.
H > A prominent artist writes;
fill' “They are indeed the most won'
x£aau< deriul thing I ever saw.”
An a-rtist from Connecticut
proprietor of a large art
gallery there, says he had a.
friend that was promptly cured
by theiru«e.
’ ! hW Ss A prominent artist, and tha
proprietor of one of the largest
il and finest art galleries in New
" York city, sent to Dr. Baird oa
Saturday morning for two box
es, saying: ‘‘The box I tried proved so beneficial that I
wish to continue their use.”
A prominent business man of Newark, N. J., says: “I
suffered much from habitual constipation. I never saw
anything to equal them in prompt and curative effects.”
Others write that they have been cured of pile® of long
standing by their use, in five days. Certainly for all de
rangements of the body, due to improper action of thQ
glai.dalar system, as the glands of secretion and excre
tion, •* they promptly and surely cure.” Being purely
vegetable, they are harmless.
A gentleman from Newark, N. J., orders them the
fourth time and says: “ All those that have taken your
Granules would not be without them lor anything. All
recommend them very highly. I never took any medi
cine that helped me so much as your Granules, and I
can tell you I have spent lots of money already for my
complaint, dyspepsia and kidney trouble.
“My brother would not be without them, neither
would Mrs.
Being founded on a new principle of cure, viz., by act
ing on secretory and excretory system of the body, the
result of their use shows it to be the only correct prin
ciple.
Dr. Baird may be consulted at his office, 157 West 23d
st., New York, every day, 10 to 12 A. M. and 1 to 2:30
