Only the Eighth regiment of the First brigade come and what became of the jl.OOJ may perhaps interest, the taxpayers. What would have become of the S400 margin not required for the bands if the whole brigade had come over would have been an equally interesting question.

He replied that thero had not and remarked, incidentally, that there was nothintr wrong with tho present systom.

lllium H. Cadmus, leader of the Eighth ward Republicanism, is another of the many who are opposed to tho Philadelphia system. This morning he pronounced it inoperative, from observations in his own bailiwick', and stated that the way of regeneration lav in equal representation in the general committee. "Tho Twenty first and Twenty third wards." said he, are so strong in the general committee that it lakes thirteen dnlne nHATm qual that vote. It's a nice thing to.

Mr. Cadmus opposes any citizens' movemont in tho nnrtu'o nnto has boen the btino of tho organization, according to him.

Two new patients, sufforing from smallpox, reachod tho Contagious Diseases hospital at the city line yestorday. They were childien. namely, George aged 12, of i Temple court, Flatbush. and Clara Llndenor, aged 4, of 490 Fifth avenue. Switzonhauk's parents live within a few rods of tho Contagious Diseases hospital.

Clara was taken from a house on Fifth avenue which has boon under quarantine for some timo and from which a number of othor cases were taken. There is no danger of a smallpox opidemlc. in spite of the efforts made in some quart ere to scare the publie. Brooklyn has naturally fewer cases just now than her sister city. New York, and the sanitary authorities are managing to prevent the spread of the disease.

They are handicapped somewhat by the fact that physicians in regular practice are not always able to recognize the disease. THE WEATHER. WASHIN3TJU, J. a. NoTombsr 26.

Mr. Frankel became indignant when asked for some details. 'You had the account in the paper." he said "and that is all I've got to say." 'Where did you furnish "the refreshments. Mr. Frankel 'You go and find out where vou got tho figures from." was tho answer.

Curren said to a reporter: 'I decorated tho city hall for 2.000 and it was not a protltable venture for "Did you lose money on it?" "I did not make any. Another time I would not do it for less than H.OOO and would give up the contract for anything less. "Did your decorations include tho electric lighting?" "No: just the bunting, flags and pictures." "Is the city hall the oulv building you decorated?" 'I did the muuicipal buildinn, too." "Is that included In the amount charged?" "I charged 500 for the other building." Through some error the llgures of Mr. Cur ren's bill were published yesterday as S2.000. The total of tho items for music was 17.414 Of this amount, 15,110 was accredited to three men, T.

B. Deveroll, tho bandmaster. 59,800: Brigadier General James McLeer, commanding tho Second brigade, N. G. S.

N. 3,150, and M. .1. Cummings. city clerk, Mr.

Dev erell, who wna seen at his residence. 171 Livingston street, this morning by an Faulk reporter, had this to say: "That bill of nil right and represents the very lowest llgure that the musicians hired by me could be procured for. I had ten Lands in the parochial school rurnde of tho 20th inst. and lllty ilve in the Dig parade of tho 21st. There were in these bands from twentv to twenty five men.

Let us say tho average per band was twenty two. Now sixtv Mve multiplied by that number shows that 1 had under contract over 1.400 men. On a dav such as that, When there is a great demand for them, musicians can get about what thev ask. In a number of instances I had to pav special men for example, eornetists' pries almost equal to leaders" pay, which is regularly twice what tho other members of a baud receive. On a holiday musicians demand js per man and to tho leader.

I was not compelled to pay this to all my men, or as a simple calculation will demonstrate, my SJ.gfiO would not have settled the bill. There were other charges made necessary by the bringing together of so mauv men ns weil as the wages which must be included in the music account. Transportation is one of these. On the whole I consider that S0.G30 was a very reasonable price to pay for the services of sixty five bauds on an occasion iike that of tho 21st of October." Brigadier General MeLoer, who was found in the assessor's department, said: "it should have been stat concerning the SD.loO for music, which is published opposite my name, that in this case" "music" includes bands, drum and life and bugle orps of the several organizations of the Second brigade; also horses for the battery and signal corps, the expense of the salute fired at J'ark place by the and the refreshments furnished the Eighth reeiment in the Brooklyn riding academy. The amount paid to "the regimental bands was no more than usual ou holidays and lees than was expended by the same regiments for the New York parade of the 12th inst.

Everything considered. j3. 150 was a moderate cnarge for the enss of the brigade." City Clerk Cumminirs. when asked what his was expended tor, declared: "That was paid to the bands with the Grand Army posts." "How many of them are there I haven't any idea." "You passed upon the bills "Yes. but I cannot remeciber how many bands we had.

However. I am satisfied that tho expenditure wiis all right." and this was ail Cummings had to say. In vie of the discussion which the appropriations for the Columbian celebration arc creat ing, a little incid nt of on. of the sessions of the aldermanie eom interesting. Most of the i appropriations were made with closed doors, but when the First brigade from New York was ex pected General Avery went before the committee i ana aoKea tor an appropriation for music for the regiments, as it was hardly gracious to expect the visiting soldiers to pay fur their own bands.

'The matter of cost came up and General Avery explained that 3600 would probably sufficient. Alderman Heany asked if .800 would bo ample for the purpose. General Avery assurod him that it would. Two Emma Feussner Succumbed to a Sudden Shock. Onr of Her Friends Dressed as an fqunw and Appeared Unexpectedly The Apparition Threw the Girl Into Convnlslons ad Outcome of What Was Intended as a Joke.

On November 22 there was filed in tho board of health the dent certificate of Emma Feussner, a 17 year old girl living at 204 Prospoct street, tho cause of tho demiso being given as cerebral hemorrhage. This means that death was causod by the bursting of a blood vessel In the brain. Investigation proved beyond doubt that tho primary cause of the hemorrhage was sudden friuht. and Dr. Steward of thu P.rook Ivn eitv nf th TlrrnL l.ri mn, H.l mission concurs fully In this opinion, after haying examined thoroughly into the case.

Emma Feussner was 17 years old and lived with her married aunt and the hitter's brother, at 204 Prospect street, near Gold. They occupied the top iioor. The girl was taken from school at an early age and put to work as a nurse for young children. Sho was of medium and dark in complexion and rather bright. As far as can be learned, she was of a naturally strong constitution.

Her first situation was with a Mrs. Wheeler, who lived in tho neighborhood, and she proved to be so attentive to her duties that when her employer moved to Greonpoint tho girl was taken along. Although the distance was considerable, she went borne ever' evening and her wages helped materially to support the family. On last Saturday evening her employers' family were assembled in the sitting room in thoir Greenpoint home and the nurse was with them. The children were playing games and everybody was in the bet of humor.

Suddenly there came a knock on the door and Emmu was asked to go and open it. With a premonition of impending danger, she demurred und would not go. Again there came a knock and again she was asked to open lie door. After a good deal of she consented to do so. Even while approaching the door she seemed to hesitate and appeared afraid.

When sho turned the knob and pulled the door ajar, she was confronted by tho apparition of an Indian squaw, dressed in the traditional red blanket and with a number of feathers stuck in her headdress. One of her friends had arrayed herself in this garb to frighten tho girl, and she did so much more thoroughly than she intended. When Emma saw the squaw she gave a shriek and staggered backward. Those present thought that she was only joking and for a moment paid little attention to her. but when they saw the deathly pallor and tho convulsive working of the girl's face they rushed up to her.

As iliey reached her she ink unconscious into their arms. Every musele in her body was twitching as if she were suffering from St. Vitus' dance. Tender hands placed her on a ied mid efforts to resuscitate her were made, but without avail. Becoming frightened at the aspects of the case they determined to take tho girl home, and this was accordingly done.

On Sunday morning Dr. Steward was called in and was decidedly puzzled by the symptoms until told of the circumstances of tho etiso. At this time the girl had sunk into a deep coma und the doctor at once diagnosod her illness as hemorrhage of the brain. He did all in his power to relieve tho pressure on the brain but without avail. Tho girl remained in tho unconscious state and sank slowly until on Monday evening she breathed her last.

Tho girl who played tho joke thut resulted so disastrously, is deeply affected, nlthouuh she is beki blameless. Dr. Steward, when seen by an Eaole reporter was disinclined to talk, as it was against professional etiquetto to discuss cases in the newspapers. He declared, however, that death was the result of the frleht although the victim must have been in a peculiarly nervous nonunion to navo been ntiected so greatly by the shock. THE STEA3ISHIP CARACAS IX PORT.

tier Officers Report Comparative Quiet in Venezuela. Tho Red steamship Caracas, from Porto Cabello, Curacao and Laguayra. arrived at Harbeck's stores at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Sho had on board the Venezuelan consul to Southampton and his family and tho commissioner to the world fair. She had also about seventy Italian passengers, who had been working in Venezuela.

One of the officers said that there was considerable feeling in Caracas and Laguayra over the refusal of Captain Chambors of the Philadelphia, to surrender General Mijares. The Caracas was not interfered with, however, but what would bo done on tho arrival of the Philadelphia tho officer did not know. He was rather inclined to think that the services of tho United States cruiser Concord, now at Key West, would be required to recover the ship's papers and register. The officer said that all was quiet in tho cities when the steamship left, but it was rumored that there were disturbing bands roaming about In the interior and incidentally robbing the more peaceful inhabitants. It "was stated In Veneznolathat Genoral Crespo was opposed to accepting the presidency.

All the generals and soldlors had received new uniforms and were strutting about like peacocks, while two months before most of them wero barefoot. This was awkward for the generals, who, the officer said, were rather more plenty than pirates in Venezuela. Tho ship brought her usual cargo of coffee and hides. MOVING RUB STATIO.V V. Residents oil Sontb Brooklyn Petition Aifainst the New Site.

Tho ramor that Station of the Brooklyn post office, located at Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street, is to be movod on December 1 to Twelfth street, below Fifth avenue, has set tho business men of the vicinity to talking. It is understood that the office will go into a new building recently constructed by Mes irs. Driver and Bowie, real estate speculators. Mr. Driver said this morning that the building had been erected under a written agreement with the government to lease when completed.

A petition, signed by 400 citizens of South Brooklyn, which was put in circulation by B.

They eonteirti that the center of tho population to be benefitted is further out and that, therefore, a location should bo taken somewhere about Fifteenth street. GOLD AXD SILVER SENT ABROAD.

BOY ATj BAKING POWDER is always the housekeeper never lias cause to return it to the grocer and beg for the return of her money. For a third of a cent ury its invaluable qualities have been familiar to American housewives, who have found its use always a guarantee of light, sweet, pure and wholesome food. Some baking powders are so imperfectly made from cheap and inferior materials that their manufacturers are compelled to tnke them back in lnrge quantities. During the last year thousands of cases of one brand sold or commissioned upon a "guarantee" have been returned caked, spoiled and useless. Do not take chances with a baking powder with which there is a possibility of failure.

By the same memorandum a motion made, by lie piuiuiiu is granten. mat was for a pre junction, ana tno court orders an undertaking in the sum of 550.000, the sureties on wuicn are to be approved. The ease has been before the cnuvta on mnnv occasions heretofore and in various forms.

The present action was against the Equity Gaslight company, the Equity Gasworks Construction company and John Devlin as defendants. The gas company, according to the papers, was or ganized in 1S74. The plaintiff's claim is, that its corporate powers ceased many years uu mat, accordingly, its franchise Is null and void. In substantiating this allegation the plaintiff claims that for some ten years after being incorporated tho company laid but eighty feet of pipe. What is more, they say this pipe was not connected uuy way witn eitner gasworks or consumer houses.

Tho present action for an injunction was brought on the allegations that the defendant was about to begin tearing up the streets in mu vYvruo iiumca ior tno purpose of laying pipes. When tho argument was heard on tho demurrers tho defendants' counsel claimed that the whole trouble was traceable to the doors oi the WiUlamsburgh Gas Light company. It was said, too, that the William'sburgh company had even taken the matter to the legislature in an effort to get certain bills through which wouid injure tho defendants' rights.

which a glance at the caioudar substantiated. Justice Cullen was presiding, and amons: the first coses called for hearing was tho suit to annul tho marriage of Frank W'nshek to Maria W'ashok. The suit was brought on the ground of fraud. The plaintiff said that ho resided at Great River, L. and that ho married tho defendant in November, 1878, in Bohemia.

He said the defendant asked Mm to marry her and told him that sho was a widow and had worth of property and would give him one quarter of it. He said "'rther that tho defendant told him sho had no children, but a week after tho marriage four ol them turned up. What was worse, the defendant refused to give him anv shore of her property When the plaintiff admitted that he had lived with tho defendant a weok after tho children turned up, Judge Cullen rofused to annul the marriage. Fannie H. Hopper asked the court for a decree of absolute divorce from her husbund.

HPPer Te corespondent named wa6 Ella Brooks, a residont of Purkville, L. I. Mrs. Hopper told her counsel, Jerry A. Wernberg, that she lived at 207 Sixth nvonue.

She was married to the defendant in October, 18S1, in Pnterson. N. J. The last time she saw him was on Tuesday at Miller's hotel in that place Clara Callendar of 18 Cherry street, New York, testified that in January sho was a domestic in the house of Mrs. Brooks in Parkvillo.

Sho testified to having seen Hopper in tho house and under circumstances thut would apparently be sufficient on which to base a suit for divorce Iho court reserved decision. Julia A. Colston was the plaintiff in another suit for absoluto divorce brought, against her husband, George A. Calston. Tho plaintiff is the daughter of Mrs.

Emily Maxwell of 456 Classon avenue. The defendant is an advertising agent. Mrs. Colston said she married tho defendant about two years ago and lived with liim up to September. The plaintiff said that on the previous dny, when tho cose was set down for trial, the corespondent, a Mrs.

Shnnley, had not appeared, because it was alleged that she was suffering from nervous prostration. They had never been able to find her since and the witness thought she had left the state. Mrs. Maxwell, mother tho plaintiff, testified that ono evening sho stood outsido her daughter's door and heard the defendant make damaging statements regarding his conduct. Soon after tho defendant left the house and when looking over his things, a letter was found requesting Colston to send a personal to the writer through a newspaper.

Walter French of 117 Ninty fifth streot, Now lork. testified that he had accompanied the defendant to certain summer resorts and that while there Colston had made several confessions to him of his conduct. The court reserved decision. GONE TO THE FOOT BALL GAME. A Largo Party of Naval Officers Left This Horning for West Point.

Tho navy yard was to a very largo extent deserted this morning. Every naval and marine officer who could obtain a leave of absence from duty made tho most of it and took an early train for West Point, where the great game of foot ball is being played this afternoon between the cadets from the Military academy and the eleven from the Naval academy nt Annapolis. Most of the officers from the navy yard went on the same train and there was a large party of them. Paymaster Barton of the monitor Miantono moh is seriously ill with pneumonia. Lieutenant Ebenezer Prime, who has been attached to tho commandant's staff at tho Brooklyn yard for more than two years, has received orders to report at Elizabethport.JL for duty upon the new United States veBlel, the Bancroft.

The cruiser Atlanta sailed this morning for the dock at the foot of Twenty third street, North river, where some stores will be put on board. As soon as that tins been done sho will sail for Norfolk, where she litis been ordered. The clerks in the paymaster's department in tho navy yard are not on tho civil list and the change In the administration is making them feel somewhat nervous about the permanency of their positions. A petition is being circulated through the department and has already been signed by nearly all of tho clerks asking the secretary of the navy to put them upon the civil list. TOP COATS AND JKEEFIXO JACKETS STOtE.

Burglars entered Samuel Levine's clothing store, at mi Myrtle avenue, yestorday, by forcing a roar window, access to which they secured by climbing a fence on Navy street.

Ward Dcmocrata Considering thn CUarife.i of 'f readier The trial of the Eighteenth ward Democrats accused of treachery to their party, was began last night before the executive committee of the Eighteenth Ward Democratic association. The session was held in Schramm's hall, Powers and Olive streets.

(Voter Beilman presided. The men under charges are Eugene E. Ituoff. John C. Grimes, Michael Kelly, John Callahan, William Drcs Leon Llnde.

Edward Tucli. John Lowery, Charles Kelller, Denis Devlin. Peter Peters, William II. Fortscher. Kobert Fischer, Christian Sanders, Peter Groeu.

Michael Wolf, Peter Hentgen, Charlrs Fredericks, Adam Noil. Leo Gokluuch. George Campbell. Frank F'iebM and John Mulgrew. A few "of tnom romaino.l away, liobert Fischer sent a letter, declining to I attend tho hearing.

He said that the paper was iilogally drawn and did not bear the seal of I the association. The association never had a seal. i Chairman Beilman, in opening the session, i snirt that the present ward association came i into existence last April, after the ward boun ca. irs had been changed, and that charges of party recreancy could not go farther back than that. The question of supporting Hepubliean candidates at the polls on November w.

he added, was the only question to bo considered. ami personalities could not be indulged in. David A. Teose said thnt. as counsel lor the accused members, lie wouid ask to have the charges dismissed, ou the ground that they contained no specifications and aiso because they had not been presented in proper shape.

Chairman Boilraau said that while he felt it due to Mr. Tecse, as a matter of courtesy to grant him the privilege of the floor, he could not permit hini to act as counsel for anybody inasmuch as Mr. Tecso was not member "of the association. Th executive committee was un der instructions from the ward association to merely take testimony, not to listen to arguments or appeals from outsiders. Mr.

Teose asked thut the refusal to listen to him as counsel be entered on the minutes. His requtst was not granted. The charges against Edward E. P.uoff were first read. Mr.

KuoiT was charged with accepting the Hepubliean nomination for supervisor against the regular Hepubliean candidate and with supporting 11 candidates. Mr. liuoff said that he was merely indorsed by the Hepubliean party. Hut for Mr. Beilman.

he said, could have had an independent nomination. He voted the regular Oenioeratis ticket, Including a voto for himself for supervisor. He asked time to prepare complete answer, it was granted to him and he was asked to send a written answer to Dr. John L. Cornish, secretary, to thu committee, on or before next Saturday night.

Tho executive committee will have another session on Tuesday. December 6, and will make its report to the ward association on Thursday, December 8. Most of the other charges were for trenchery to the party in wearing HuolV badges and distributing and voting the Ruoff ticket. The majority of tho accused pleodod not guilty, but finally admitted that they supported Ruoff. 'Ono young man said that he wore tho Huoff badge simply ns an ornament.

Another said that lie supported Ituoff simply because he was an old scnool pal. Leon Linde was charged with being a Republican and membor of the Hepubliean ward association. Ho entered a general denial. When charged with working as a Hepubliean poll clerk he caused considerable laughter by saying that he accepted the position on tho advice of Peter Beilman. Mr.

Beilmun explained that Linde had askod for a Democratic appointment as poll clerk and that ho (Mr. Beilman) said to him, "AVfly don't you look for the appointment from the Hepubliean party, where you belong?" George Campbell, an elderly voter, declined to say how he had voted. The question he said was under the constitution of the United States illegal. He said he was a Democrat, but admitted that he served at tho polls as a Unitod States marshal. Ho just went by himself, he said, without any backing or letter of introduction, and got tho appointment.

Nobodv asked him what his politics was. Tell that to some one who knows nothing about political methods," was Chairman Beil mnn's comment. All the men who appeared in answer to the charges will be permitted to file additional answers next Saturday. Those who did not appear will be notilled to attend the next meeting of the committee. IX THE ERIE RASI.V.

Quite a. Number I.j'iiic Idle There. The steamship Zaandam of the Rotterdam line has been put on the dry dock at Robins' yard. To day the workmen were rigging up an immense shears to take out the greater portion of her engines, including the low pressure cylinder which is cracked and will have to be replaced by a new ono. There is a lot of other work to bo done on this ship, which will keep her here for tho next two months at least.

Tho auxiliary steam yacht Utowana, is also on the drydock "to bo scraped and painted ior a southern cruise. She is a steel yacht and was designed by Beavor Webb. Sho has been around the world, with her owner, William West Durant. who is having another yacht building, lorty ioet longer than the Utowana, although tho latter is 180 feet 6 inches over all. The new one was also designed bv Beavor Webb.

Frederick W. Vanderblit's steam yach. Conqueror, sailed from the Erie basin this morning, but her destination was unknown. The grain boats aro arriving in large numbers in the basin in anticipation of tho closing of the canal season. There is quite a number of ships of all classes laid up in the Erie basin, including the steamships Tyrian and Dorian of the Anchor line, which have boen driven out of the West Indian trade.

Thirty years ago these wen; first class ocoan steamships, now ruey are oniy ur ior iruiters and eould be hoisted on deck of some of the modern ocean liners. There are also two of the Dumois steamships, two of the Morgan line, two of the Mallory steamships and the red stoamship Valencia, laid up in and around the Erie basin. One of the SkolBeld ships is being remetalled on Hilton's balance dock and the Cranes are busy at the breakwater. Colonel Harry Beard has started in to build some big mud scows on the Gownuus edge of the breakwater, whero he recently erected a largo workshop. MORE ST.

EXPENDITURE. It la an Open Question, Though, as to .11 r. Kinkcl's Altitude. Tho charities commissioners recently approved plans and specifications for a new workshop and machine shop for the county farm at St. Johnland.

They adopted a resolution to transmit tho plans and specifications to the board of supervisors for adoption by that body, upon whom, under the law, would "devolvo the duty oi advertising for proposals and awarding the contract. The papers wero not transmitted, however, although the resolution was passed several weeks ago. Colon 1 B. 1'. Gott.

president of the charities commissioners, displayed surprising reticence severul days when an E.u;le reporter sought information regarding the features of the proposed new siiops and thoir probable cost. He was notroady to tall: about the matter yet, he declared, although it was practically out of the hands of tho charities board. It now transpires that a wholesome regard for the censorship of the supervisor at large, George Kinkel. has induced the extreme caution of th" charities commissioners about transmitting the plans and Colonel Gott's silence. It is learned" that the supervisor at large lias been invited to pass upon the plans and spoeilb'ations and announce win tier or not lie wouid approvu of them if they came before him officially.

Kinkel Iocs not like then: nitogether. but still will not rcmier any deeision until the bids.whleii are imw i being rtised for new roads and euers at St. Jounland are opened. The roads and sewers have been vetoed oil':" and there is prospect that the next bills may go too high to suit the supervisor at large. The new machine and boiler "shop, it is estimated, will cost not less than sSO.000, the charities commissioners have just decided to have plans prepared for a coal shed, which will cost as much as hotel on Fifth avenue, New York, if the scale of expenditure ior it is commensurate with that oi other St.

Johnland structures. JIA.TOK ANSA IS BKTTEn. Mnjor Edward Annan, of General McLeer's staff, who was taken ill at a dinner in the Oxford club Wednesday evening, is better. Cincinnati and SI. I.oitis Are Best Serred th Now York saprb Southwestern Limited.

Adv. Onnnon of the same precinct is lying dangerously ill at his residence, 116 Baltic street, with pneumonia and Polico Surgeon Ford has been attending him. Last night tho family thought they would like to have Dr. Byrne of Clinton street and sent around to the Amity street station to ask if tho captain would secure Dr. Ford's consent and summon Dr.

Byrne. McGowan was on reserve and he volunteered to do tho errand for the Gannon family as ho was acquainted with Mrs. Gannon. The request was granted and he left tho station nt :20 o'clock last night. No more was heard from him until 10:30 1'.

M. when the doctors at the Long Island College hospital telephoned to headquarters saying that policeman in plain clothes who was looking for a professional nurse was at tho hospital awfully intoxicated and makinsz him self exceedingly objectionable to those in charge. The Fifteenth precinct was called up from hoad quariors aud Roundsman Kennedy was sent to tho hospital to investigate. Ho found McGowan there and he promptly took him away. Ser geant MeCullough relieved him from duty and advised him to go home to bed.

The policeman win dc compenoa to explain matters to tho commissioner a week from next Tuesday. A number of the complaints received to dav were against officers ho had failed to discover burglaries and had neglected to try store doors on their posts. Captain Rhodes of the Green point station naa four of them and Captain Hurdy of the Twenty first made charges against i wo men wno iauod to discover the burglary at Levine clothing store yesterday. Albert Duffy of the Thirteenth precinct was complained of for having entered the saloon at the corner of i ark and Nostrand avenues on tho 14th inst. There is an interesting feature' to his case.

Last Tuesday Officer Nash was dismissed from the force for havine fonuht with a man in this saloon. Policeman Duffy appeared before the commissioner as a witness for Nash and volunteered in the course of his evidence to make a disagreeable charge against a young man who testified against tho officer. This young man, who was among the spoctators in the trial room. nettled nt the officer's statement. Ho rose from his seat and, addressing the commissioner, interrupted the proceedings "uv saying: "That's a lie, Mr.

Commissioner. This officer was In the saloon, too. Ho was thero in uniform and asked us to say nothing about it." On tho strength of this declaration Captain Martin was forced to make charges against Duffy. The complaints against. Roundsman Green and Officer Peter Gallagher of tho Sixteenth precinct, also preferred to day, are somewhat peculiar.

Master and man entered the Casino, at 214 Filth avenue, together on Thanksgiving night cud were caught there by Captain Early. They had no explanation to give and the charges against each followed. a ue ujiiicaiions now are tnat oommissionor Hayden will have a busy day ten days hence. lthin tho Inst forty eight hours no less than thirty two complaints hnve been preferred against policomen this, too, in tho face of tho fact that three policemen lost thoir shields last week for misconduct.
