Last evening at about half past six little
fellow about five years old, the son of Mr..
Chas. Herrick, the truckman, was playing on
Pine street and jumped on the igger of Mr..
Furlong. Mr.. Furlong did not see the little
chap who in attempting to jump from the
side of the team fell in between the wheels
and rolled under the body of the iigger but
not far enough to avoid the rear wheel which
just grazed the child's head, tearing the skin
from the skull from the right temple to the
back of the head. The skin could be turned
back disclosing the bone, which apparently
was unipjured. The child was picked up and
carried into the apothecary store of A. s.
Kinds where the wound was washed. DR..
Meserve was called and carried the child to
his home where the hurt was properly attended
to. The child was otherwise bruised about
the head and his fingers had been jammed by
the wheels. 1t was a remarkably narrow
escape for the young child and should serve as
warning against the general custom of al
lowing such babies to play in the streets.

The Andrews Case.

The committee on judicial proceedings and
claims gave hearing last evening to Marshal
Andrews and his counsel at which the claims
OF the marshal for his salary during the time
he did not perform the duties of the office and
compensation for his expenses, were present.
ed. Mr.. Andrews was represented by Hon.
VIM. L. Putnam and Judge Goddard, and
Judge Symonds, the city solicitor, was present
to give his opinion in the legal aspects of the
case to the committee.
Alderman Noyes said that he did not feel
competent to judge of the case as it appeared
to him to involve some complicated legal ques-
tons and moved to leave the matter to Mr..
Putnam and Judge Symonds, and Mr.. Gallag-
her on the part of the committee, by whose
decision Mr.. Noyes was ready to abide. No
action was taken on the motion.
Judge Goddard presented the bill of Marshal
Andrews for his salary with interest during
the contested period for 81 ,27S58.
Mr.. Putnam stated that the entire claim
was naturally divided into two branches. The
demand for the salary is perfectly legal one
made SO by the decision of the courts. The
claim for being made whole on the expenses
incurred by Mr.. Andrews during the progress
of the case is one Of equity, which the city is
not legally liable for but which should be paid
as an act of justice.
Judge Symonds said that he concurred in
the opinion of Mr. Putnam as to the liability
for the salary with the exception that the
amount to be paid should be the amount OF
the salary, with interest, less the amount the
marshal may have earned during the time
covered by the salary for which claim is made.
Judge Goddard then read long argument
in which Mr.. Andrews claim to the salary
and for expenses was discussed. In regard to
the point raised by Judge Symonds, Judge
Goddard thought that the nature of the case
which made it necessary that the marshal
should remain in the city ready to resume his
duties rendered it impossible for him to secure
other employment. The judge read from the
records of the city treasurer's office to show
that officers had been made whole on expenses
incurred in salts brought against them in the
performance of their duties and said that al
though Marshal Andrews could of course Sc
cure no redress for the aspersions of character
he had undergone during the pending of his
case, he asked for remuneration for the
amount actually expended.
Judge Symonds thought that the custom an
piled to the cases of officers against whom
suits were brought originating in the perform
ance Of their duties and was not applicable to
this case.
The committee then retired and shortly re-
turned. The Mayor announced that they had
voted to recommend the City Council to allow
the claim for the salary and interest and also
$500 for the expenses incurred. The entire
claim IVES. for salary $1,27s.58, and for counsel
Gees, ETC., $779 4S. The total amount remun-
Grated is $1,67S IS. The committee is COM
posed of the Mayor. Aldermen Gallagher and

Arre.. Of lhe saIyation ARMY.

Last evening Deputy Msrshals Black and
Crowell, with large squad of police, acting
under instructions from Marshal Andrews, ar
rested the Salvation Army as it proceeded
from headquarters, near the corner of Middle
and Pearl streets, and took them to the police
station where they were locked up, the men
in the cell rooms, and the women in the lodg-
ing room.
Deputy Crowell stated that the Marshals
orders were issued yesterday, and were to the
effect that the army could not be allowed to
parade the streets beating drums or using other
musical instruments. Nor could such action
be permitted by any other person, such as the
playing OF the band in front of the Peoples
Theatre, which tended to create disturbance
by calling together crowds. Monday night the
Army did not appear with drums, but last
night they did and consequently were arrested
An immense throng followed the Army to
the station, and the comments of the crowd
were, generally, that the proceeding was IN
Just, especially as great crowd had gathered
as usual, in front of the Peoples Theatre on
Exchange street to listen to the band, who
played from the balcony instead of the street,
The parties arrested numbered nine men
and twelve women. Upon arrival at the
station Captain Franks, their leader, smart
well appearing woman, dropped on her knees
in the room and was followed by the army who
heartily prayed, and sang war hymns. in for
giveness OF their prosecutors.
In the Army were several children for whom
Mr.. George F. Townshend, the lawyer, appear
ed and demanded their release on the ground
thstlthey were under age. The children were
released on the promise they should appear in
court today. Mr. Townshend also appeared for
Mr.. Murphy's wife. 1t is claimed by Muir
ply that his wife is sickly and that she had
her young child in her arms while marching
in the procession, and that he went to take it
from her when the police seized him and
treated him roughly, tearing his clothes and
bruising him.
reporter for the PRESS interviewed Capt.
Franks at the station. She said she took COM
mand of the Army on Monday, May 10Th, of
this year, but that she arrived here May 18th.
She said she had never received any order
from the Marshal, or any one else not to par
ade, or to permit the Army to parade with
musical instruments. The preceding comman-
der had told her the Army couldn't parade
with the instruments on Sunday, and the only
Sunday she had been in command they had
not.
The members of the Army did not appear
at all cast down at their confinement last
night, but spent the evening singing their
songs and praying fervently.
