oHEEKY POLICE CAPTAINS.
Making Their Pay Rolls to suIt Them
selves and Getting Sat Down On.

"SAsDs anu Ge~tAn& sat Down Oms
The Police Board held an adjourne d
meeting on Friday afternoon. The pay
rolls for the month of April was present.
ed. They amounted to sll, 1856, 33. In
the rolls the police captains fixed their own
pay at the rate of 81 800 per year. That
ls the amount they say they are entitled to
under an act of the Legislature. This COM
pensation, as fixed by the board, is II 800
per year. Ignoring entirely the authority
OF the board in the matter, they drew the
roll at the rate that suits them the better.
President Tilden INDUCED in some gentle
observations about the extreme cheekiness
OF this transaction. The captains had
come to regard themselves as the bossea.
instead of the servants, of the Board--ss
the superi0rs instead of the subordinates
OF the Commissioners. That spirit of in
subordination should receive no counten-
ance. Commissioner Meyer introduced a
resolution directing the Captains to make
out their pay rolls apart from the pay
rolls OF the men. Mr.. Tilden did not
want to vote for that resolution, but he
wouldif there was no other way out of the
dilemma. The better plan, he thought,
would be to instruct the captains to make
Board, that is on; the basis of 81 $3.50 per year.
the suggestion was acted upon, and after
that matter had been disposed of police
powers We're conferred upon Thomas Burk,
Especial officer at the Oakland Rink. Chief
Murphy was given power to grant leaves Of
absence yesterday to Grand Army men.

for the fourteen days he was laid up be-
cause of the recent assault upon him was
referred. James Bucken was promoted

J. McManus, and on motion of Commissioner
Mccarthy, Patrick Gallery were directed to
appear before the Examining Committee
to going to work on the force.
communication was received from David
Hanna complained of the filth and lawless-
ness that prevail at Marion. He mentioned,
as an evidence of lawlessness, the recent mid
night assault, in the old st. James Hotel,
upon HUMPHREYS and his wife. Chief Muir
ply said that the assallants in that case
had been arrested. Hanna is the agent for
the st. James Hotel whiah has become a

How She Says Her Husband Stole Her
Child and Abandoned Her.

OnAIO anu ADAM0omc0 1oAs
Police Justice Stilsing's court room, Fri
day afternoon, was well filed with respect
able. if not tony people, who had gathered
to listen to the examination into the charge
of abandonment made against Highland
Plat, by his wife. Most of them were
friends of his and the particular purpose of
their presence was to lend their counten-
ance to his case Platt is the young fellow
who sent his wife to New York three weeks
or SO ago to buy new dress, and who,
while she was away, disappeared with their
sixteen months old infant. No trace of him
was got till Officer .Kiiburn learned that he
was at work for Newton Il Gillette in the
Abattoir. His employers surrendered him
into custody when they learned that he
had been tracked out. At the first hear
ing Prosecutor Winfield argued against
the admissibility of the wife's testimony.
As no one else knew anything about the
abandonment, the case for the prosecution
must have failed if she had been ruled
out as witness. At the resumption of
the examination yesterday, Prosecutor Win
field, who appeared for the defence, argued
that the statute which permits the wife to
testify against her husband in abandon
ment cases makes her competent witness
only as to the fact of the marriage. Justice
Stilsing could not see it in that light, and
allowed Mrs Platt to testify. She said that
she is the wife of the defendant. They had
lived together till May 9th. That day he
gave her $40 to buy new dress, and she
went to New York to make the purchase.
He said he would leave the infant child
with neighbor living down stairs. When
she got back, both her husband and child
had disappeared. che was always good
husband" the wife continued, "till last
year. About election time he lost $400 on
Blaine, and he has SINCE given me not more
than 50 or So per week. | never went to
the neighbors for help, but they knew Twas
In want, and they helped nae of their own
accord.
ssAre you likely to become burden upon
the city if your husband does not provide
for you p asked Counselor Rowe.
81 may" was the response.
$50 may we all, !" retorted Mr.. Winfield.
"There's no danger in your case, the
Court remarked to Mr.. Winfield.
sNo," put in Counselor Rowe, while the
crowd of well-dressed people burst into
laughter, she is more likely to become q
charge upon the county"
On cross-examination, Mrs. Platt denied
that she was addicted to drink.
Mrs. Esther @. Howell. of No. $50 Fifth
street, said that Platt and his wife had oc-
cupied rooms iu her house. She was asked
how they lived, and was about to tell, when
the Court ruled the testimony out, and she
stepped down.
CHOW, said Mr.. Winfield to the Court.
ssyour Honor has heard the case The
statute gives you no power to adjudicate up
emit. What do you propose to do about it ?"
Justice Stilsing thought he had power to
adjudicate as well as here, and SO held.
Mr.. Winfield said that he proposed to make
no defense in that court, and Justice Still
sing said he would decide the case On
Thursday next. e
