POLICEMAN 81
Too stupid and CowardIy 10 be Permit
ted to Wear Star Any Longer.

One of the most industrious, attentive, po-
lite and efficient OF the employees of the AP-
PEAL while on his way to the Office about
3 o'clock am. yesterday, aud passing
through st. Martin street, halted man
who was approaching him as he sup
posed with evil intent. He had 10 call
three times, the lsst in a very peremptory
tone. before the fellow stopped. When our
employe approached to see who he was he
recognized Policeman 81, one OF the largest
colored men on the force, TO whom he said
that had he permit to carry arms or were
he then armed then he would certainly have
shot him, believing him 10 be foot-pad or a
garroter. They parted after few moments
conversation, each going on his way. Later
in the day, on meeting Capt. Hackett, our
employe related the circumstance TO him.
His surprise may be imagined when the
captain said that No. 81 had sued out
wsrrant for his arrest, charging him with
being armed. President Hsdden after he
hears the facts to-day will no doubt
dismiss the case and severely reprimand
the policeman for his conduct, which was
not only cowardly but stupid. If he was
satisfied the employe was armed he should
have arrested him at once on that charge
and taken him 10 the stationhouse, where the
facts might be learned and not ait to trump
up lying charge like this. We can and
will vouch for the correctness of our EN-.

The London correspondent thinks the re-
TRACY OF Mr.. John Dillon from public life
is due 10 The fact that he disspproyes most
strongly of the Parnell policy. which is
largely controlled by that "Kilmainham
treaty" which has been proved mythical ev-
erywhere except in the domain of personal
politics. But Mr. Parnell and his practical
followers, there is every reason to believe,
will hold 10 the conditions of that much-re-
pudiated compact" and so endeavor to
disarm and divide the opposition TO the
Gladstone administration at the approach
ing session. In that way farther success for
the Land League is possible, even to the ex
tent of the much coveted home-rule. Davitt
and Dillon if followed would wreck Ire

THE sbsurdity Of mixing up The Marine
Hospital Service with the management of
epidemics is seen in the Indifference of Sur
geon. General (?) Hamilton TO the wants and
needs of the people of Pensacola, while he
employed 500 or 400 police in the southeast
corner Of Texas at an expense totally dis
proportional to the work that WAS to be done.
Hamilton is now explaining his conduct and
mismanagemeui, but he only makes matters
worse. Better for him TO be silent. He has
been unlawfully employed in this business

out that large floating debt had accumu-

FOREIGN MISSIONS
Meeting of the American Board of Com
mtssIOners at Portland, Me.

PoRTLAND, October 3.-The seventy-ihird
annual meeting of the American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions opened
its sessions this afternoon in the City hall,
President Mark Hopkins in the chair.
Three thousand persons from outside the
city were in attendance. The treasurer's
report shows expenditures to be $649, ,424,
OF which five and four-tenths per cent. went
for cost of sgencies publications and the adj
ministrstion. The remainder, S614, ,356, was
used directly in work abroad. All reports
show affairs to be in a satisfactory condi
ton. There was distributed pam
phlet entitled Controversy Between
the Missionaries of the American
Board and Evangelical Armenian Churches
in Turkey" The trouble appears to be
that the American board willn engage the
Arnenians who received their education in
this country as missionaries, hut merely as
helper. To this the Armenians object, and
think they should be appointed full mission
aries. The pamphlet is quite persousl. Df.
E. p. Goodwin, of Chicago, preachedsfrom
acts xiii, 2, the annual sermon before the
American board. An immense audience
filed the Secoud Parish church.

sets OF which was found in Tennessee, Judge
Hammond decided, brirhy, az follows:
While the State may seize the assets of an
Jnsolvent foreign corporation and administer
them rs trust fund for the benefit of cred
liors, IN the absence OF statute especially
declaring preference or lien in favor Of
home creditors, the distribution is pro rGta,
wherever the creditors reside, and the fund
belongs TO all the creditors and not exclu-
sively to those residing in the State of Ten
nessee. But when life insurance company
became insolvent, aud under the laws of the
State of its creation was placed in the hands
OF receiver, to be there wound up, a bill
filed by Tennessee creditors to administer the
assets in Tennessee will be dismissed where
they are not entitled TO any specific lien
upon the assets" Bill therefore dismissed.
