police authorities were so loath TO part with
him that they refused to accept his resignation,

The Fourteenth ward bell tower, Williamsburg,
was consumed by fire yesterday afternoon and

The station house and the armory of the Forty

Captain Wo2lom removed the only prisoner in his
custody at the time to safer quarters and then
turned his attention 70 the fire. His command in
the station house at the time made preparations

action OF the police during the excitement showed

but, as 1t broke out under the tower, where Chief

by water to the amount of $500 and the lodgers'
department OF the station house was rendered un-
