mission to Bellevue Hospital. Deceased had been
arrested by officer Clark, OF the First precinct,
charge OF ntoxicatOn, but late a. night falling sick
in the station house. was removed to the Hospital,
where death ensued as stated. Brown was native
OF ireland. His residence did not transpire. 1t was
stated tnat deceased and q man named James How
ard had quarrel in Pearl street, during which, 1t
was alleged, Brown either fell or was knocked
down on the pavement, thus receiving severe intu-
ries. Howard has been arrested and Ii detained to

POLICE TRucE.-The recent exposure OF the
manner in which many of the police, ana especially
those acting under the orders OF the heads OF the
Eighth and Fifteenth precincts have seized the per-
sons Of inoffending citizens and ncarcerated them
upon unjust charges, has had very sautary effect
upon Captains Mills ana Cafrrey. In the precinct of
the former on saturday night and Sunday morning
there were but sixteen arrests whiie the Fifteenth
precinct officers are so far on their good behavior
that only prisoner was captured. The Eighteenth
maGe six arrests, the sixteenth Twenty-eighth and
Twentieth three each, and The Ninth and
Twenty ninth only two each. Captain Mills,
who Is noted for his inveterate hatred Of thieves
and his utter disregard Of public opinion, has SUIT
pending against hlm for false Imprisonment, While
Carey has probably learned that the recent locking
up OF q man with broken arm In his prison, and
the failure of the doOrmau to report his condition.
has not added to his popularity with the Board OF
Commissioners and the public. 1t Is to be hoped
that hereafter citzens-even If they be unfortunate
femaes-will not be ruthlessly dragged from their
doors and beds to crafty the vanity of ambitious
Official who desires TO make q good show on his
morning returns.
