Mr.. Orme said he was willing. to assume the
responsibility OF voting against the bill The
interest Of the city required him to do SO There
was no need OF the extra police; there had been
no bloodshed, and the city was quiet and enioy-,
ing peace. AT the present time, in the ina nc ial
eondition OF the city existing the proposed APP
preparation OF SlS,0O0 was extravagant- IL the
Mayor wants twenty-five men, let him saw so -
But he has not said so, and the Aldermen knew
1t, 9otWithstanding they passed this bill
OF duty, to vote for this bill III the Navor did
not know that the city was in a rowdy condition,
ne must be both blind and deaf Rowdyism had
creased IN the city it was evident, and though
ne could NOT say Where the rowdies came from,
he knew that, in the last eight months, 1t had
been increased by agaBg styled Regulators" II
was apparent that the night watch was insult
clent, and he would vote for the bill r,
Mr.. Clark said that the amount was not appro-
Priated nor is IL probable that the whole twenty
I'VE men will be put on duty at once. 1t gives
the Mayor the power, and he is expected to use Il
discreetly, as there could be no doubt he would
do. In the alley OF the square between Third and
FouT-and-a-half streets, near the Avenue, he had
witnessed and heard disorder and pistol firing
every night; disorder existed and we must put il
down. .H.....f -..-fr .. -. -.
Mr.. Orme, (interrupting The Mayor has his
police, they report weekly. Is IL not their duty
to report this disorder with the other arrests they
make, - -
Mr.. Clark. Yes, but they report the arrests
made, and the dues and fines collected, but not
the arrests they ought to make; II is our duty TO
provide the means, and the Mayors to take the
responsibility OF using them. II is too notorious
a fact that something is required to be done and
he knew Of no ether method than This temporary
plan for relief
Mr. Clark's motion prevailed, and the question
being on the original bill
Mr.. Lloyd rose to explain his motive for vot inr
for the substitute, from which he voted TO recede
and now would vote for the original bill He
had hoped that the passage of that bill would in
duce the Mayor TO Inform the Board how MANY
men would be necessary in the present elmer
rency. 10 Is evident that the Mayor must think
the police force sufficient, or that no disorder
exists. Mr. Lloyd cited instances of violation of
law which had occurred, and said that although
there were thirty Guards and fifteen policemeD
not single arrest had been made He would
have been more in favor of the bill had efforts
been made tn arrest the parties and failed but
The police have made no efforts to arrest thrTu,
aud therefore hc had come to the conclusion that
the police are incompetent, afraid to MEASURE
lances, or are in collision with the parties He
did not attack the Northern Liberties or states
Hose Fire Companies because they belong to this
or that party, but he knew that since the oryani-
Zation OF that bogus company (the states Hose)
the riots have begun, and the only way to sup
press them was to break this company up. The
me mbeTs are strangers in the city, living from
hand to mouth as they best can, and on alarms
of fire start out armed to the teeth, and carving
single section of hose only. The party comes
ffOm a neighborn1 city for base and wicked
PURPOSES. aud since they have shown their ham G
II Is our duty to break them up. The policy is
not TO appoint the twenty five men, but to shut
up this organization, though he feared the plan
would not answer the purpose. There are men,
beTs of the Auxiliary Guard who belong to
this organization. MIR. l. reiterated his opinions
as expressed at the last meeting, and announced
his intention to vote for the bll and if il did not
succeed in three weeks he would move for its re-
peal.
Mr.. Orme denied that women were attacked
and inSUlted in the streets.
Mr.. Lloyd explained that the authority for his
statement that females had been in.ulted at the
Four-and-a-half street bridge, was Mr. Ross,
police officer, who got il from Mr.. Beveridge, the
president of the - States Hose - And although
as it was said the women Were prostitutes the
fact was the same.
Mr. Otme said he had received reliable infor-
nation that the charges made were all false As
t. reinstating the position Of things as they ex-
lstfd three years ago, when fires, riots and blood
shed were Of nightly occurrence, who was will
ing for such a change,
MIR French cited a case OF a woman on Tenth
street having her clothes thrown over her head
A voice. That was done by the wind ~
IL may be so, and the persons around were irving
to get them down. He also cited the case Of the
omnibus driver, who was fired at Monday
night, when the driver pointed ont to the Captain
OF the Quad, who was near. the person who fred,
and the Captain went to the party and only ar
rested pistol he found on the pavement. He
also cited the assault upon Mr.. Whaley
M Mulloy cited the case of two persons near
the Capitol firing from hack on Saturday last.

Nj. Kennedy. | would like the gentleman TO
say il be means that Democrat is not an Ameri-
can. IL he wishes to designate parties let him
designate his own as il was first started-the
Know Nothing party.
Mr. Poulton thought the term Know Nothing
eye or ear might well apply to the organs OF the
opposite party, as they could neither see nor hear
He cited the cases Of reported attacks upon men
and women, also the riot in the First Wa.d yes-
teTday. and remarked that the police were like
some OF his f'iends, they have no eyes to see or
ears to hear. He was in favor Of appointing the
twenty-five men and if that was not enough TWEEN
ty-hve more. The bill was then passed
Subsequently TO the passage of the bill Mr.
Lloyd gave the names of MIR. Fitzhugh Coyle and
Mr.. Hudson Taylor authorities for the state
mont that an insult had been offered to an an old
lady In the First Ward by street rowdes.
A WAsHISGTOSIAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

OF the recent death by railroad accident OF Mr.

was thrown underneath the car, the wheels of the
FIRST and part of the second passenger car passing
over both legs near the body, before the train
could be stopped. or course the legs were crush

pieces Of skin only attached the legs to it.
