beaten by policeman in the Eighteenth Precinct
Sation-house. He exhibited terrible bruises on his
arms and hip The marks, apparently of the club,

he saw two men fighting and attempted to make
peace between them. While so occupied he was ar
rested with one Of the fighters. and taken to the
Twenty-secOnd Street Police Station, where bis
pockets were searched. The shoemaker had 81
bill which, he claims, the officer took while search
ing him. When he asked what had become of his
money the policeman struck him in front of the
desk. Afterward while taking him down to a cell.
he dubbed the unresistlng man unmercl-
fully the doorman assisting. The sergeant,
hearing the noise, he says was finally compelled to
interfere The shoemaker claims that he was per-
fectly sober. In the morning his money was not
given to him, but he was taken to court where he
was promptly discharged. On the way the police
man made dire threats against him and, when he re-
fused to pay his own fare on q street car as
prisoner dragged him several blocks handcntfed.
Mr. Majcwslli did not know the name or number
of the policeman, but said that G. X Lcxon, of the

both. The superintendent having left his office for

onehal of the reduction that has been made in the
amount of all incomes and the cost OF living since
the price of these salaries was fixed-woud produce
the reductions proposed in this BILL.
A reduction of 8 per cent on the whole amount OF
the appropriation for $780, not excepted by the bill
the cost of all of which items was fixed at the time
of high prices and o deprecated currency-wOuld
produce the same result
Besides the amount to be raised each year by tax
alton is diminished by the steady decrease of the
State tax which for the last five years has been re-
duCed by quite uniform yearly rates in the amount
levied for this CITY from $8,0123 1856 in 1874 to
1851 1922 in 1879, which of itself will produce
two-thirds of all the reduction proposed by this bill.
The General Fund" and the sources of revenue
other than taxation, too be made to produce at
least S. 900 900 year more than they now do, es-
pecially if the bills pending in the Legislature
looking to this end become laws.
