THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

PHILANTHROPIC THEATRICAL MANAGERS-DENIAL
OF THE REPORTED STREET CAR oUTRAGEs.
The first matter OF Importance brought up In
the meeting Of the Board OF Police Commissioners
yesterday morning was a communication from
several managers OF theatres, who seem TO take
great interest in the sustenance Of the Life Insur
ance Fund OF the Police Department. These gentle
men propose 10 the commissioners that they shall
be permitted to distribute for sale by attaches or
the Police Department 100, 600 tickets OF admission
to either Booths or another theatre during the
month OF January, 1875, and that the proceeds OF
the sale Of those tickets shall be equally divided
between themselves and the Life Insurance Fund.
Tue Board referred the proposal to the considera-
ton OF the Committee on Rules and Discipline.
The next important document was report
prnted and read BY superintendent Walling in
reference to reported street car outrages- The
superintendent said he had investigated the re-
ports and found them not to be based on fact.
The Madison avenue cars, he said, which have
been reported as the scenes OF numerous brawls
and Of outrages done by thieves, have really been
peculiarly free from such instances OF disorder.
The only trouble which has happened on q car OF
the Madison avenue line took place few days
ago 1t was simply brawi caused by a drunken
man being thrown from standing position by
Jolt OF the car against lady who was seated.
The conductor pounccd upon the man, who
had been disorderiy before, and took him to the
rear platform. On that stand were two friends
Countrymen-and thi an0 the conductor got into
q scuffie. other EN- to- = OF the railroad CON-
pany went to aid 20 conductor. In the naelee
somebody discharged pistol into the air. These
facts, superintendent walng said are substan-
tIated by the evidence OF wel known people VINO
were In the when the trouble happened ana
VINO have been sought out by the police since tne
reports street outrages have been published.
The superintendent said that the reports had
greatly excited some OF the people up town, and
he made fis investigation and report in order to
aay their fears OF being outraged on their way
home on the cars.
The Board dismissed James Fitzsmmons from
the police force for perjury, and referred the pa
pers IN ms ease to the Grand Jury. This man,
who was dismissed from the police force IN 1865,
made false statements In regard to hts age and
eligibility in 1872, and was appointed policeman.
p. b. F. Manning, patrolman or the sixteenth
precinct was also dismissed. His offence was IN
toxtcatlon.
Patrolmen Ernest schrauth and Henry Drought
were promoted to be roundsmen.
The COMMITTEE on Rules and Discipline reported
In favor OF permitting oicer Warner, OF the Twen-
ty.ninth precinct. to accept reward ot $3.50 from
the Post once Department Tor arresting Wilnam
Edwards, who had broken into street letter box.
The Board adopted the report OF the committee.
The Board granted an annual pension OF 5000
TO the widow or the late Roundsman james Tuite,
and adjourned until saturday, at eleven A. N.

DEATH OF THE JERSEY CITY MORGUE
KEEPER.

Mr.. Michael Brady, keeper OF the drst morgue
established in Jersey City, died yesterday morn
ing, under melancholy circumstances, in the thirty
fifth year of his age Just one week previously the
interment OF his wife took place, and she, too,
died rather suddenly. From that day Mr.. Brady
who was In the prime OF life and apparently very
healthy-sunk lower and lower, till he succumbed
to what was really mental afniction, but what
proved, In medical parlance, to De innammauon
or the brain. No man in Jersey CITY was more
popular among all classes. He was repeatedly
selected for political honors, but persstently de-
cnncd public ONCE, He was born IN the county or
Cavan, Ireland, and came to this country Ia 1892.

GRATUITOUS INFORMATION.

1t was very kind in the mayor of Balti-
more to inform Mr.. McEnery that the
council of that city had voted a handsome
donation for the relief of our distressed
people. But we fail to see any necessity
for the expense of telegraphing the infor-
nation. The mayor Of Boston has used
the telegraph much more judiciously. He
informed Mayor Wilt that he could draw
at sight for $4,000, leaving all private
citi zens, wherever they may be, to learn
the gratifying intelligence through the
usual channels. If the mayor of Balti-
more has been charged with forwarding the
money, he ought to address himself to the
officers authorized to receive and disburse
it, without parading the charity through
out the second-rate political circles of
Washington. We thank the good people
of the city Of Baltimore for their liberal
ity, but can not agree that their mayor
has shown much discretion in. the matter.

CHEAP INDIGNATION,

Now that the danger from overflow
which threatened this city and hundreds
of valuable plantations above here has
measurably passed away or been greatly
decreased by the Hickey and Bonnet
Care crevasses, we notice there are some
indignant criticisms of the several modes
Of relief which were suggested at the time
Not long ago the river was some six Or
eight inches above the high water mark
of 1871. Water was running over the
levee; at and below the French Market in
considerable quantities, and nearly every
passing steamer washed the streets with
the waves raised by her wheels. 1t was
evident the river would rise further be-
fore it would recede, as there was steady
swell from Memphis down. A consulta-
ton of engineers apd citizens was had.
The former testified that break in the
levee above, by which large portion of
water could be carried off, would certainly
relieve the pressure and decrease the dan
ger. Two points Were suggested where
this could be done with the least possible
destruction to .property-Noyes Mexican
Gulf canal and Bayou Plaquemine. At
the first named place it was estimated that
$4,000 would cover all the damage, while
no estimate was made for Plaquemine. 1t
was some such proposition as is frequent
ly made at sea when it becomes necessary
to throw over part of the cargo to save
the ship and passengers with the rest.
The owners Of the jetteed goods are paid
pro rata by the consignees Of that which
is saved. The people living along the
margin of Bayou Plaquemine would have
been reimbursed for their losses in case it
had been necessary to let the waters
loose upon them. And we agree with
the engineers, the committee of citizens
and Governor Kellogg that it would have
been economy to sacrifice the whole bayou
and all its interests if by SO doing We
could have saved the State from the fear
full calamities of Hickey's and the Bonnet
Care crevasses. If there is any ground
for censure at all, it is on account of the
lateness of the proposition for relief. 1t
makes as difference whether the residents
along Bayou Plaquemine are Acadian
fishermen or planters in good condition.
They are entitled to protection as much
as anybody; but as their aggregate in
terests are small when compared to those
which have been submerged at points
below, it would have been cheap solu-
ton of the difficulty to let the water out
up there and save the rich parishes of
West Baton Rouge, Iberville, st. John,
Jefferson and part of Orleans. And it
is desingenuous in those who feel or
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-05-01

think they feel indignant towards those
who proposed to open Bayou Plaquemine.
to come forward now with complaints of
the destruction which they imagine would
have been occasioned by it, while they
conceal the immense losses that have
ensued for want of it. If there is any
indignation to spare it should be visited
upon those who interfered with the State
officers when attempting to discharge
their duty.

burned by the Indians, his wife and children
gone, and the bones Of his stock IN the
ashes of his stable. The old squatter gazed

THE ST. JAMES REPUBLICAN.

Francis Sternberg, Esq, formerly of
Lafourche parish, has established new
journal in st. James bearing the above
title. 1t is professedly Republican in pol
itics, but the way in which it wages small
var on the Sentine! leads us to the suspi-
cion that it is anxious first to kill off few
Of its own party friends, for the reason,
probably, that it will then come in for the
credit Of overthrowipg the Democracy
single-handed. Plainly, we can not APP
prove of the quarrelsome tendencies of
this new candidate for favor.
