A DETECTIVES EXPERIENCE.
His Succcssful Undertaking and Escape
from m impending Fate.



One morning several years ago, Just as
the dull gray light was beginning to show
itself In the East, small band of men
might have been seen deployed about q
house ON Ferry street, In Buffalo. There
was nothing special either In the dress or
appearance of the men to indicate their ins
tention. but 1t was plain that they had
business OF importance on hand. Sudden
ly man appeared ut one of the windows,
look in the situation at q glance, and,
swinging himself outward with wonderful
quickness, scaled the roof of the house.
This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious
counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth and
fully realizing his situation, he defied JUS
tice and the officials below him. Some of
the officers, knowing the desperate charac-
ter of the man, proposed to shoot him UNI
til he was killed, but one of the number
promptly protested, and declared that II
his brother officers would assist him to as
ccnd he would capture the man alive. Ac-
cordingly he began the difficult and dam
gerous task, and succeeded in bringing his
prisoner to the ground in safety.
Tho man who accomplished this task
was Mr., Thomas Curtin, the present Super
intendent Of City Police OF Buffalo, N. Y.
Mr.. Curtin Il . man who Is known by
every prominent detective and policeman
In the front rank of his profession. Quiet
and gentlemanly In appearance and man
ners, he possesses courage, combined
with marked physical powers, that make
him the terror OF evil-doers and the pride
Of law-abiding citizens. Few people can
realize, however, the trials, exposures, and
even privations, to which the members Of
every municipal police and IRE depart
mont are exposed. Compelled to be on
duty ct uncertain hours, subjected to the
most inclement weather, and often neccs-
STATED BY the nature Of their duties to pro-
tracted undertakings, they endure . nerv-
Gus and physical strain that Is terrible.
Such was the experience Of Mr.. Curtin in
former days; and It IL not surprising that
he found himself suffering from mysteri-
Gus physical trouble. In relating his ex-
perience 70 . representative Of this papsr,
he said:.
"At times when I was on duty 1 would
feel an unaccountable weariness and lack
Of energy. Ny appetite was also uncertain,
and my head seemed dull and heavy. did
not fully undsrstand these troubles, but sup

To All Good Citizens: Greeting!
A CARD ADOPTED JANUARY 8. 1888.

~
We, the students of Union Theological
Seminary. Hampden Sidney, Va, respect
fully ask your attention to an object the
merits Of which have commended 1t to our
hearty approval and earnest support. We
refer to the work sought TO be accom-
plished by the international Sabbath Asso-
citation, for the better observance OF the
Lords day, by means OF thorough and sys-
tematic cooperation.
In this Association We recognize q band
OF earnest men, who are nobly striving to
right q great wrong, and To stay great
evil. They seek to restore the violated
rights of those Of or countrymen who are
required by individuals, by corporations,
and even by our own Government, to work
on the Sabbath; and thus they would stop
the flood-tide Of Sabbath desecration which
now threatens to oyerwhelm us. Such an
effort would be hopeless were it not for the
promise OF God isaiah lix.: 19), when
the enemy shall come in like flood, the
Spirit OF the Lord shall lift up standard
against him."
RELYING upon this promise, let us all en-
list under the standard OF Religion, Morall-
tv, and True Patriotism, and eaca IN his
own sphere do what we can TO encourage
our leaders and support the cause. The
means are manifold by which this can be
done, even by the very children. We sug-
gest q few Of them, as follows:
lat. Inform yourself OF the practical
branch Of the subject by reading the Asso-
ciation's documents, and OF the Scripture
doctrine by reading some good work there
on. Such for instance. as DR.. X. l.. Dab
news little book. "The Christian Sabbath"
I'd. Sign and circulate the petition against
Sunday mails, and especially against such
in your own town or city.
Sd. Suggest and assist in forming Sab
bath organizations in your own churches,
town, county, and State; and secure the
approval Of the work by your church
courts. See also that the lceeb Of prayer an
this behalf is oJseiCed nert AprG.
4th. Send 10 the secretary OF the Associ-
alton, at No. 1912 Chestnut street, Philadel-
phla, the full name and address OF all per-
sons likely to take an active interest in the
movement. TO all such we will send suit
able documents. No doubt the Association
could thus well oXpend any contributions
that you might make.
Our brethren in other seminaries and
friends OF the cause in other institutions
are requested to endorse and assist this
movement.
Secular as well as religious papers are
earnestly requested to publish this card
and to comment upon the merits OF the
subject, and to send copy thereof to the
Association. at Philadelphia.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Board OF Directors Of the Chamber OF Com
merce was held yesterday evening. Pre-
sent: X. T.. Blankenship (presidenD, L.
w. Grubbs Second vice-presidentl Charles
Branch, Orin Cottrell, John s. Elicit, 5.
III. Hawes, s. IIirsh, L. Courtney jenkins,
and B. G. Wherry.
In response TO question brought out by
the recent publication in regard to Trades
Parade, Mr.. John s. Elicit Chairman OF
the committee, which, acting with one
from the Commercial Club, has been IN
conference with the Agricultural Society
stated that it was the unanimous conclu-
sion OF all those with whom he had con-
suited that no attempt ought to he made.
this year to have Trades Parade. but that
all efforts ought TO be concentrated to make
the Fair a notable success.
From the informal talk that took place
in the Board il seemed that the members
thereof were also unanimously OF the same
opinion.
There was no objection made TO night
pageantries. Indeed, after the Board ad-
journed some Of The members in CONVERSE
tion said that they thought special efforts
ought to be directed towards having am
pie night entertainments during the
Fair-w6ek. Doubtless the Joint commit
tee OF the Commercial Club and Chamber
will give this branch Of the subject pro-
per consideration.
II anything really worthy Of the city is
10 be attempted it is none too soon TO be-
gin planning now.
Mr.. BlankenSbip, from the special COM.
miitee appointed with the view OF ascer-
tanning what can be done towards getting
a suitable appropriation from Congress for
the Improvement OF James river, reported
that they were corresponding TO that end,
but members could see from newspaper
accounts that the proposed bill would
only give James river $4,000, whereas
the engineers. who had always been
disposed to do us justice, had re-
ported that they could iudiciously use
S150.000 As the engineers estimates were
to be sealed to 30 per cent, and S3O,00O
did not give us that, Mr.. Blankenship in
dulged the hope that we might get our
$4,000. But. he repeated, he had as yet
no definite information. Mr. Lewis ID.
Crenshaw, who was appointed with Mr..
X. A. Dunlop and himself on this commit
tee, he said. had not been able to give
great deal OF time to the consideration OF
the matter on account of the critical Illness
OF his wife.
Mr.. George y. Stacy and Mr.. George II.
Poindexter were elected members OF the
Chamber, and, on motion Of Mr.. Grubbs,
Mr.. Stacy, rs a representative OF the furnl-
ture trade, was elected member OF the
Board OF Directors in place OF Mr.. Arthur
Rooney, who has removed from the city.

Payment Of Gas-Riiis.

To lie Editor Of Tie DlSpdtch:
II the present City Hail is to be enlarged
by the addition of the building on the west
side OF it, l, and / doubt not hundreds Of
others, hope that the Br0ad-street entrance
OF the rented house will lie taken for the
Treasures Office. ItsO happens that many
ladies, poor but sensitive, have to 20 TO the
Treasurer's Office to pay bills for gas and
water, and it Is great hardship for them
to have to make their way through the
crowd OF men who are often found in and
about the Broad-street entrance OF the City
Hall. Consider how women are criticised
on such occasions-and they know it-and
you will realize what benefit il would be
to them to have the Trea>meTs Office
located elsewhere than in the City Hall.

MEETING OF TIE STATE BOARD OF EDU-
cATIoY.-It was generally known that q
meeting Of the State Board Of Education
would take place yesterday. at which, it
had been given out, that according to a
resolution adopted at the last meeting Of
the Board school trustees FOR the public
schools OF Richmond would be appointed.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Il. NJ. Grnctt
had, in accordance with the resolution
mentioned, made out a list Of such persons
as he thought make suitable trustees,
and these were duly laid before the Board
Yesterday morning.
The meeting was full one, but it did
not take place at the Capitol, but was held
in the Executive Mansion, and was strictly
private. There must have been hitch
somewhere; for the appointments were not
made, notwithstanding that Mr.. Garnett
had his slate carefully prepared and on
hand. The meeting adjourned, but even
the time OF a future meeting could not be
ascertained, and no reason for not making
the new trustees cculd be ascertained.
