BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Raid on NOn-Resident Omce-HoIders.
The regular session of this Board was held yester.
day, Mr.. Samuel II. b. Vance, President in the
chair, and all the members present, including Al
derman s. r. V. Cooper, who has been absent,
owing to Illness 1or several weeks. The minutes
OF the previous meeting were read and approved.
resolution was introduced to remove the
Fourth Judicial Court from the prescn. location
corner of Houston and Allen streets, to Essex
Market and was referred to the Committee on Law.
Alderman GILON introduced an ordinance en-
titled ''ro prevent non-residents from holding
offices in any OF the departments or branches OF
the government OF the city OF New York."
Section one provides that no person not resi-
months shall be eligible 70 any Office in any OF the
departments OF the city government, either as
President or Commissioner OF such executive de-
partment, Chief Of bureau clerk or officer, whether
Legislative, executive or judicial or the Board Of
upon the Mayor or Commonalty ior any compensa-
ton for services by virtue of holding sucn o1ce.
Section two declares such once vacant Il heid Dy
OF the department TO appoint legal resident OF the
city to such vacancy
Section three repeals all or any part OF ordinances
inconsistent with this ordinance.
Section four provides for the ordinance to go
into effect immediately.
Alderman VAN SCHAICK proposed that the last
clause be amended so that non-residents may have
an opportunity to remove to the city; hence the
ordinance should not 60 into effect at once.
Alderman GILON defended his measure by stat.
ing that he inserted -four mont tbs" since writing
the document so as to conform with the state
Election law.
Alderman BILLINGS hoped that the ordinance
Will not be adopted in In its present shape, as 10
would work great hardship, especially to teachers
in our public schools who are forced to reside in
the suburbs on account OF cheaper living.
A motion TO lay over was negatlved.
on q resolution to adopt the ordinance. Alder.
man VAN SCHAICK offered an amendment that
teachers in public schools be exempted from its
operation, which, on a statement by Alderman
GiLoN that some 500 teachers were non-res.dents,
was Withdrawn by the mover.
Alderman OrrENDoRFER amended by striking out
the words 1Our monthsn Lost. The motion Tor
adoption was carried by vote OF ten to five.
Alderman MCCAFFERrY or1ered resolution Ap-
proved February "a, 1885, concerning the present
system for loading and unloading goods, stair.
ways, &C., which, instead OF granting thirty days
time extends it to six months. 1t was laid over.
The Committee on Markets reported resolution
instructIng the Commissioner OF Public Works to
forthwith have Fulton Market put in proper re.
pair and the roof made water tight, which was
laid over after considerable dlibustering as to the
power OF the Board to ''request' or "dlrect" work
TO be done
After transactfng some other un1mportanC buSl.

entlcth street and Ninth avenue prisoner was also
there; they then went down to Sixty ninth street
aud Eighth avenue. where Haas struck prisoner
and knocked him down; prisoner then got up ana
Hulnage's place roscher said lie did not know
what Haas and Hulnagie quarrelled about; heard
Hufnage say, 'I gave 1t TO the son oi a b--h."
Leopold Young was at "A dance In Hunagle's on
Saturday night; Haas and Hulnagle were there
some what lntoxcated; tnen went to take Haas
bome-Sixty- street and Eighth avenue !;
heard Huinage say that Haas had struck htm !;
next morning when ne was sober; Haas was quar-
relsome when under the influence or liquor; heard
Hulnagle tell his father that Haas had struck him,
and alter wards heard Hunagle say that he had
.'hlt the son OF q D-h."
Other similar evidence was introduced, after

to fracture oil the skull.

DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS.

The Dock Commissioners held their weekly meet
ing yesterday President Westervelt in the chan.
The Executive Committee reported that they had
considered the communication from c. Marshall
Co.. complaining OF the non.reInOval OF goods from
the piers, and had sent a manual OF the Board To
that firm and asked them TO report any future case
OF non-remOva which may occur. rne petition OF
Thomas J. Madge to lease bulkhead between piers
Nos IS and 10 East River was denied, the Board
deeming it iIgeXpedient.
OF Rhinebrlnk Il Co.. for the lease OF part OF
pier at the foot OF Third street, East River for ten
years.
communication was received from the Engi-
neer-in- Chief, recommending that full time be al.
while in the employ of the department. The re-
commentator was denied, the Board believing

POLICE TRIALS,


Yesterday being set aside lor the hearing of com.
plants from citizens against policemen, President
Gardner took his place III the court room at the
Central Office at one O'Clock Out OF fifteen cases
in which charges against officers had been made,
but three complainants appeared. The most i'm
portant OF these was against officer Charles Nc.
Bride, OF the seventeenth precinct. 1t alleged
by three young men employed in the Post office
that on the night OF the 20th of March he had
dubbed one OF them IN an unmerciful man.
and without prOvocation or cause They
also charged that he acted on the occasion
in a manner unbecOmlng an officer and most
offensive to a citizen. The policeman swore he
used no unnecessary violence. de saw the young
men standing on q street corner at one O'Clock in
the morning and he imagined they could be up to
no good. lie pushed them away from there but did
not strike them with his club to injure them.
President Gardner, when the ofiicer finished his
story, said id-'McBrtde, shall refer your to
the Board. 1t s a bad one The HERALD says
! am IN favor Of keeping brutes on the force, but
Will show some OF you, as have before now, that
the brutal OF your clubs VIII be fatal to You in
this department. Every brute that is brought be-
fore me will get short shrift, and only wish that
citizens who come here to complain would aKe
the trouble to come second time and Substan-
tlate the charge. While am always ready to sup
port a good officer in the performance OF his duty
/ am at the same time equally jealous OF the per-
sons, lives and property Of citizens, whose SER
wants you are"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ILLINOIS.

a Mass Convention of the Illinois
Woman Suffragists was held in Chicago
on the 18th ult., and was a decided sue
cess. An exchange says that ats ses-
sions were well attended, and the dis
cussions and addresses listened to with
marked attention. The city press was
unusually respectful in its treatment of
the speakers and their themes. This is
n sign that it begins to think Woman
Suffrage may become an institution in
our land, and that it is the part of wis
dom to yield to it gracefully. \ resolu-
ton was adopted by the convention,
asking the Legislature of the State to
submit the question of Woman Suffrage
to vote OF the people"
a number of able speakers We're pres
ent, among whom were Miss Anthony,
Miss Phebe Couzins and Mrs. Jane G..
Swisshelm.
Those who attended were favorably
impressed by the dignity and earnest
ness which characterized the delibera-
tions ofthe meeting. The impetus which
q gathering such as this gives to the
cause is great, as it inevitably sets men
and women to thinking, and intelligent
thought can produce but one result.

RECENT EVENTS.

The smallpox is raging and increas-

Results of recent elections give every

The difficulty between China and

China agrees to pay an indemnity OF

which the japanese troops are to be

The reply of Moulton to the complaint
Of Miss Proctor has been filed. He states
that he felt himself coerced by a COM
bination of circumstances to make the
statement which is deemed Iibelous
that Beecher's statement rendered his
public version of the matter an act OF
self-defense.
The Committee of Seventy, on the
9TH, telegraphed to the President pro-

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS,

= Correspondents, friends-dOn't, we be-
seech you. Suppose the melancholy
days" hare come? We should rather
think we would have known II by this
time, even if the intelligence had not
been conveyed to Us through the United
States mails a dozen times, more or less,
In the past two weeks.
We confess to a love for poetry, and
take an unbounded pride and delight in
William Cullen Bryant, but repetition
constantly hammered on the ear makes
even that which originated with him
grow stale after awhile.
Don't, we beg of you, accuse US OF
lack of patience. What was it, we
should like to know, that kept us in an
angelic frame of mind while we read the
testimony of numerous correspondents
to the effect that the melancholy days
had come" at intervals all through the
month Of October, white yet the air
was soft and balmy, and the skies as
bright as those of June? Not a day
but We congratulated ourself upon our
inexhaustible stock OF patience, as We
perused with unruffled brow the familiar
line. But even patience has a limit,
and there is a proper time for forbear-
ance to cease, and to-day, as the bleak
winds of November whistled ruefully
around our sanctum, and the rain fell in
torrents from as cherries an expanse Of
gloom as ever overshadowed even Eye
land of Webfoot," we turned to some
letters awaiting our attention, and
the very first line of the first one
opened gave us the cheerful assur-
ance that the melancholy days." ETC.,
and we felt our hold upon patience
slaeken. The next began with the
startling information that "winter had
set inn and wound up with the prog
nostication of a long and tedious season
Of alternate wet and cold. We shivered
while impatience crept on apace. But
when the third one was in turn taken
up, and friend assured US that "Now
that the melancholy days had come"
he should have leisure to devote to-we
don't really know what, for the last
remnant of our patience being at our
finger tips, served as lever to propel
that letter into the waste basket, where
1t still lies unread.
Yes, friends, we are constrained to ac-
knowledge that "the melancholy days
have conceive hold out no longer-so
please give us rest before time to begin
to quote Beautiful Snow" at us.
There, we feel better now.
