IMPROVING THE FORCE.

Superintendent Weir Talks About the Need
for Additional Patrolmen- Comparison
Between New York City and Pittsburg-
New Prison Van TO be Purchased.
The Department Of Public Safety is ar
ranging for the purchase of van to convey
prisoners to the Jail or to the depot for trans
portation to the workhouse. The convey
ance is to be constructed something after the
style of an omnibus. It is to be in two
compartments, the forward and smaller one
being for female prisoners. This will fur
nish safe mode of transportation, and at
the same time prevent any possibility of es-
cape while in transit
Superintendent OF Police Weir, in speak
ing yesterday of the escape of prisoners
from officers, said there had never been a
case known where prisoner had escaped
from an officer to whom he was handcufed.
Mr.. Weir, in speaking of the agitation for
the covering of patrol wagons, further said
that all of them have covers. In fact, Pitts
burg was. the first city in the country to
adopt them. They are not used on some of
the wagons in the summer because they are
ugly and cumbersome.
Mr.. Weir thinks that the city needs more
police. New York, with territory of %
square miles, has a force of 5000 men.
Pittsburg, with 27L square miles, has but
$50. OF course. New York is more thickly
settled, but the discrepancy in the relative
strength of the two forces is startling never
theless. New York is a seaport city, and
many tough characters naturally drift there,
but this is almost counterbalanced by the
foreign non-English-speaking laborers we
have here.

General Organizer John Downcy Says His
Order is Growing.
John Downey, Grand Master of the
Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association, is at

eral lodges in this neighborhood. Mr..
Downey says his order has nothing to do
with the strike on the New York Central. It
is in the hands of the knights of Labor,
and, as they are strong in Eastern New
York, he expects to see them make a deter
mined fight. The chances are tbaS no trains
will be moved if they take notion, and the
usual mob on the outside that always ere
ates the trouble for which the men are
blamed will be there.
Mr.. Downey states that his organization
is increasing continually. They are going
slow, and have applications for charters all
over the country. They don't take in every
body, he added, and if they did they could
double their numbers in a few days. eve

Last week it was claimed by some of the

Downey stated that no complaint had been
made to the organization, and he did not be-
lieve it was true.
