against whom Echeverria made the charge OF

inconsistent with the tenor Of evidence given at

except by the statement of the Commissioners that
they held on investigation oil their own and were
not bound in any az by the result of the Goroners
investigation.
DIR. Echeverria was officially notified OF his

so for several days. DR.. Parsons has already as

About the 1st inst. John Stroutman, German,
forty years Of age, and by trade a locksmith who
boarded with o family on the fourth floor OF
premises 142 Essex street. was taken sick and
could not again leave his bed. He complained OF

ing up his family, determined to have redress.
Stroutman sought IN interview with the man who
had made him miserable, and an alteration was
the result, blows being exchanged. The police
interfered, arrests were made ana the matter was
settled at Court. About that time, or at q later
period IL Is alleged that the lover OF Mrs. Strout-
man, whose name and residence did not appear,
struck deceased on the head with hammer or
hatchet thus causing the fracture above described.
While lying sick at his last place OF residence
Stroutman told the landIady that he had been

aid in the prevention OF crime In q general way.
therefore IL IL 20 be concluded that either the
railroad companies mean TO continue to shield the
thieves or they Will have the police on the cars.
The public voice will compel them TO call in the aid
OF the p0lco, and, thieves no thieves, the COM
pardes cannot refuse TO obey that In a cOnversa-
tion with some OF the best detectives in the city
yesterday, among them being Detective Farley, the
HERALD reporter was informed that the conductors
on cars are not quite 30 bad as they are repre-
sented to be- These men are afraid OF the thieves,
and have got to pretend not to see what they
really do see. and what, il they knew that they
were protected by the police, they would STOP or
course some OF them are really thieves themselves,
as appeared only day or two since, when fellow
was arrested with some half dozen OF watches IN
his possession. But in general these men desire to

There is no way OF enccting this REFORM 80 far az
the police know except by the strong voice OF the
public. In Philadelphia, some time ago, this same
dimculty arose as that which now exists here; but
there the police Were able to bring the companies
TO terms, and IN this way-lt Is against the law to
stop the cars, except at the farther OF the
street In the direction In which the car Is going.
The police continued making arrests for every
violation or the law result-the companies gave
the 'passeAn In this city that little game cannot
be played, because the police cannot arrest the
conductor while he 10 on the "trip" and therefore
the 0ficer has to travel with the prisoner to the
depot. Human nature is human nayure, even In
the Police Department, and that's rather too much
even for Q man trying to be q captain.

time was blowing with considerable force

A struggle Immediately ensued with those on
board, in consequence of the boats sinking,
to secure themselves by some por,io OF the
vessel. Mr.. Hanlon and-two seamen were
enabled to do this by catching hold OF the upper
portion of the mast, which fortunately was
not submerged, the water not being suficieHt-
" deep; but Mr.. James McCarty, a seaman,
missing hls hold, was drowned, notwlthstand-
ing the efforts of those around to aid him.
After remaining on the suuken boat about an
hour, Mr.. Hanlon and the two seamen were
taken off by a fishing boat and brought to the
city. The tug Relief afterwards proceeded 10
the Annie and lowed her to Atlantic wharves,
where she has been raised.
