WASHINGTON. Nov. Is. lS74.-The Crlml
nal Court was unusually crowded to-day, 1t be-
ing supposed that Judge Humphreys would
dispose of the rule issued against Dawson
Clerk of the Police Court, who issued the war
rant, and Hiram G. Whitley, who swore out
the complaint of perjury against Michael Hayes.
At 2 clock District Attorney Fisher read
the returns of Dawson aud Whitley. The re-
turn Of Dawson set forth that the warrant was
duly issued upon complaint properly made IN
the usual course of proceedings.
Whitley alleged that the proofs of Hayes
perjury were complete and that the arrest
would not have been made during the consplr-
acy trial but for information received that
Hayes was about to abscond beyond the juris-
diction OF the courts of the District.
Both disclaimed any intention of committing
contempt
Judge Humphreys postponed the consdera'
ton Of the returns to future day.

Sun FIRE CoMpANY-A meeting of the
Sun Fire Company, vice-Presidept John Sulli-
van, in the chair, and Henry Kleiudenst, Sec
rotary was held in the hall last night.
The committee appointed to prepare a new
list of membership, reported that there are
sixtyfou chartered members, but laat the new
list had not been completed.
Chief Engineer Leadbeater of the Fire De-
partmept, was present and addressed the con-
pany, advising them to disband and join the
steam fire companies, in which their services
would be most effective, as those companies
wanted an increased membership; and telling
them that by taking his advice and relinqulsh-
lug their engine house, they would be mater
tally assisting the Corporation which could de,
rive a considerable revenue from the lease OF
that house; and that the Fire Wardens had not
at their disposal more money than was suthclent
to keep the steamers supplied with hose.
Major Duffey replied on behalf of the com,
papy, stating that next year the company would
be one hundred years old, that during all that
time its members had always been active and
efficient 6remeu; that they now had sixtyfour
charter members aud that it did not seem right
TO ask them to disband and join companies,
neither of which had halt that number, but that
they would be willing to connect themselves
with the Hydraulion Company, provided the
latter would occupy the Sun S house and work
under the SUBS name.
A committee was appointed to wait upon the
Fire WardeBs and find out if they intended to
furnish the Sun with sufficient supply OF hose.
The meeting then adjourned.
