A QUEER ALARM.

Commandant Braun Tried BY the Fire
Commissioners on Account of 1t.
A trial of considerable interest took
place before the Board of Fire Commits
sioners last evening. All the commits
sioners were present, including 'de Boss
Commish. Rudolph Braun, com
mandant of No. Truck, one of the
most dutiful men ordinarily in the de-
partment, whose motto has always
been ''slow but sure,' with two per-
manent truckmen, Thomas Allen and
Thomas Covert, were arralgned before
the Fire tribunal for failing TO respond to
an alarm of fire on August 90. the alarm
having been given by Sergeant Holderer,
OF the Sixth Police Precinct, by tapping
the gong in the truck house with gavel.
The fire in question was the burning OF
Henry Ellis unoecupied frame shanty on
Meadow lane. Andrew Manning, who
discovered the fire, ran all the way to the
Sixth Precinct station house, q mile dis
tance, to inform the sergeant at the desk.
The sergeant tapped the gong in the
manner related above.
Commandant Braun. after investigat-
ing the matter, concluded that Manning
was drunk; and he refused to respond to
the alarm until the bell rung. Manning
induced the sergeant to send policeman
with him to the scene of the fire, and told
him if there was no fire he could lock
him up.
When the proper alarm came in Braun
responded, but was forty minutes late.
The building was partially consumed and
damaged to the extent of 1925.
President Conway endeavored to ascer-
tain if there was any ill-feeling between
the police of the Sixth precinct and the
firemen, who jointly occupy the building
in which the. police and firemen of that
precinct are housed, but the firemen all
admitted that there was no trouble be-
tween the two bodies. After tediously
investigating the matter, Braun was
fined one days pay. The other two truck
men were let off with reprimand by the
Chief. Naturally they obeyed the Com
mandant.
The pay roll for August was passed
amounting to S., 900, there having been NO
meeting since July %.
Chief Farrier's monthly report showed
there had been $4,000 worth of property y
destroyed by fire, ali of which was covered
by insurance. During the past five weeks
there had been eighteen fires, for which
eleven bell alarms were sent out.

Judge Scott, of the Paterson District
Court, sat for Judge Douglass yesterday,
in the First District Court, and disposed
of the case of Mark Rylance against
Prof. Oscar Gleason, the horse tanner.
Rylance is New York printer, who had
bill of s175 against Gleason for print
ing, which he was unable to collect.
Through the First District Court he at
tached two horses which Gleason had
with HIM.
Coles g Richardson. firm Of horse
dealers of Chenango county, New York,
claimed to be the owners of the horses.
and notified Constable Crawford, who
served The writ, to that effect The
claim of property was tried yesterday
afternoon.
For an hour previous to the trial there
was bitter wrangle over the jury. Con-
stable Crawford summoned one list OF
talesmen under the direction Of the Clerk
of the Court, and Constable Thomas
Lynch. at the instance of Mr.. Dougherty,
who. together with Mr.. N. d. Daley, rep
resented the claimants, summoned an
other
Messrs. Dougherty and Daley objected
to CIawford's jury, claiming that in as
much as he had attached the property he
had an interest in the case and. more
over, that the clerk had no right to issue
the venire until directed to do so by the
counsel. Mr.. Seguine, for Coles & HIch-
ardson claimed that Crawford was the
proper person to draw the jury and that
Lynch's jury was as liable to be preju-
diced as that drawn by Crawford.
Judge Scott decided to try the case
with the jury summoned by Lynch,
which, at half past six O'Clock rendered a
verdict for Coles & Richardson. Mr..
Seguine gave notice Of appeal.

ALEXANDER sULLIVAN's PROPERTY.

of the so-called triangle, has transferred
his property to Attorney A. S. Frede. The
transfer was made about four weeks ago.
and that all knowledge of it was sup
pressed.
1t has been an open secret for severa
months that Trude and Sullivan had
maintained relations which made the at
torney the virtual possessor of all Sulli-
vans property. Whether these relations
grew out of the "Triangle's" alleged COM
plicity with the Cronin murder-requir-
ing the secret counsel of the noted crimi
nal lawyer-was theme of debate
among those to whom this transfer be-
came known yesterday.
Sullivan's friends stoutly maintain that

common prudence, and that his property

lima, made the point OF order that ther 9
was no quorum present. The Speaker
directed the doorkeepers TO notify mem
bers in the committee rooms that their
attendance was required In the House,
but even this movement brought into the
chamber but eighty five members.
Al call of the house was ordered. The
call disclosed the presence of l63 mem
bers and the House waited patiently tor
ten minutes until the three absentees
necessary to make quorum reported
themselves to the clerk.
Mr. Brosius moved that all further pro-
ceedings under the call be dispensed with.
The opponents of the LARD bill, led by
Mr. Mason, of Illinois, ordered the yeas
and nays, in order to consume time. The
motion was agreed to-yeas, 146; nays, 21.
The clerk then proceeded to read the
Journal in the usual abridged form,
when Mr.. Mason demanded the reading
in extenSO.
After further squabbling, at the end of
an hour the reading of the journal was
finished, and OD a motion to approve the
previous question was ordered.
Mr.. Turner, of New York, again set out
to talk against time, taking as his text
the resolution offered by Mr., Cannon yes
terday. After speaking ten minutes in
denunciation OF Mr. Cannon, he gave
way to Mr.: McAdoo, of New Jersey
Mr.. McAdoo said that the Cannon reso-
lution not only stated the facts of the
record, but questioned the motives of
members. ''many members leaving the
hall so that they could not be counted as
present." The gentleman had not done
him the honor of including him in his
list. He had left the hall yesterday, not
TO evade his responsibility, put to attend
to some business in the Senate. II the
gentleman had put him on the list (as he
might have done) he would have been
stating a false conclusion. The gentle
man from Illinois was an adept scholar
in the school of arbitrary methods. What
right had the gentleman to indict his
PEI rs and hold them up to the country as
leaving the hall for the purpose OF eyad-
ing responsibility.
THE CANNON OUTRAGE.
Mr.. Cannon rose to reply. lie admitted
that he was not a great statesman, and
also admitted the superiority of the gem

that was wind

vocate continuous train brakes. They say
that heating trains by steam taken from
