The interest in such an honorable career Is
greatly heightened by his peculiar expe-
riences and the wonderful changes he has
witnessed.
When he went on the force in 1858 the
city contained only some 200,O 900 people. and
in 1885, when he patrolled the Jamaica
road, there were but 2s7 policemen in
Brooklyn. Now the road he patrolled is
solid city, and Brooklyn rates in the census
away above 10000. Mr.. Nelson was born
in Ireland in 1928, reached New York in
1s4s, n became a policeman in 1868. He
has always been a patrolman, apparently
not coveting promotion, and has never been
injured in the discharge of his duty but in
1880 a reckless patriot fired a pistol on the
Fourth OF July so carelessly that the ball
lodged in Policeman Nelson's head, and
there it remains-just behind the right ear.
BE suffers no Inconvenience from it. The
scene at the Gates avenue station when he
surrendered his shield, fire key and book
of rules, and took leave of his chief n
associates, was quite affecting.
