A HINT FOR COMMISSIONER FRENCH.
New YoRK, Oct. %, 1879.


To THE EDIToR OF THE HERALD:-
Permit me through your columns to venture
suggestion to Commissioners French, Of our sage
Police Board for he makes 1t plainly evident in his
mastery championship OF Americas champion
bully. that he must be either blind gifted with
phianthropic love which renders it impossible TOR
him to deal harshly with serious offender. He
considerably remarks ks:-"Before degrading Captain
Williams should prefer to be shown instance In
which he has been dereict in the discharge Of his
duty"
Now, would it not be we'll for the conscientious
Mr.. French to take Talmagan stroll. about mid
night through the different streets and avenues OF
the Twenty-ninth precinct and view the many dens
of infamy in the superlatve degree, whose owners
do not make any pretence Of hiding their real char
acter?
am OF the opinion that such tour OF the Twenty
ninth precinct would remove all scruples OF con-
science entertained by Mr.. French and bring him to
be instrumental in the degradation ~ Of the worthy
captain. However, in the event of his transfer the
public may anticipate general stampede from the
precinct favored by his sovereign presence. I. for
one, would feel decidedly averso to residing under
his control. Then. again. innocent Mr.. French
would like to find captain qualified to ll his posi-
ton. Therein own he speaks wisely. Tor there 10
not in this city with sufficient brazen efrontery
10 I'LL tho position occupied by Captain Williams
In the manner he does. Surely there must be some
fire where there is such abundance of smoke, and
no sane person would deem the transfer OF police
captain from precinct to another degrading.

last Wednesday night verbally expressed
his willingness to accept the Presidency

as there are good reasons for believing

yellow Fever at Philad iphia.

The follow ng letter was received at

val h 9 at G. 0 This morning of the

raging there at the time of sailing, June
~ She had arrived at Port de Paix
on the ID of June with yellow fever

fumigated, and no other sickness oc-
Cured there. The four who died were
the Captain and three seamen. The
present captain was the mate when the

Immediately upon receipt of the above
the Board rescinded all permits which

possible will be taken to prevent the
spread of the fever. There seems to be
no reason for alarm, as the station is

Jennie Clark s's M derers,

BosToN, July 1.-THE Grand Jury
to day heard evid. nee from District At
torney Stevens against the persons un-
der arrest for the murder of Jennie
Clarke, the victim of the Lynn trunk
tragedy. After the examination of sew
eral witnesses, two indictments were
returned, and later in the day the pris-
oners were arraigred. They pleaded
not guilty, and each was held in SIS,
600. The first indictment found by
the Grand Jury contains four counts,
two of which charge Allen N. Adams
with being accessory before the fact of
the abortion on Jennie Clarke, and
charging Caroline C. Goodrich with be-
ing the principal in the crime. The
other indictment contains II counts, the
first of which charges that Mrs. Good.
rich, on the 18th of February, 1879,
performed an operation with an instru-
ment, in consequen nee of which Jennie
Clarke died on February Is, at Som-rs
Vile. The next 10 counts of the in
dlctmrnt are 30 drawn as to cover all
methods by which the crime might
have been committed.
To-day an officer found in the posses
sion OF tho principal witness, the baby
farmer Of Somerville, in whose house
Jennie Clarke died, a gold locket and
chain, which the girl wore upon her
neck wh1n she was brought to the
house, and which the officers expect to
prove as given to the deceased by
Adams. After the death of the girl eff
forts were made to find these articles,
which were considered an important
link in the chain of evidence, but as
suspicion had not turned in the drec-
ton of the Somerville women, no trace
Of them could be found.
