THIRD WARD STATION.

Police Commissioners Vote to Oc-
cupy 1t Next Monday With Sixteen
Patrolmen-Promoti lions to be Made
Tuesday Night.
The new Third ward station will be &C.
cupied by the police department next Mon
day, according to a vote passed by the
police commissioners last night. Com
missioners Benton and Plat were not pres
ent at the meeting, but Hugh Daley
looked in with his benevolent fatherly
smile to see that the three democratic COM
missioners, and the mayor did not perform
any feats of confinement upon the soil
tary and sturdy republican commissioner,
Carlos Smith.
The work of detailing the sixteen patrol
men who will man the Third ward station
was given to Commissioners Benton and
Clancy, who compose the committee on
efficiency of the force These commission
ers at the same time will probably detail
the men for the other stations and for
headquarters. Each of the two new sta
tons will have sixteen patrolmen, and
thirty-eight of the largest and best patrol
men will be the regular detail at neadouar
tiers for the central portion of the city.
AS the regular meeting of the police
commission is held next Friday night, and
as two commissioners were not present
last night, no promotions were made. This
will be made on Tuesday night, if a full
board can be convened. The bi-monthly
detail of patrolmen by Superintendent
Bollmann will not be made upon the first
day of March, as the custom in the de-
partment, but the patrolmen will continue
upon their old details until the changes at
the stations have been made and the pro-
motions have been arranged on Tuesday
night.
Captain Hyde will be transferred tenn
porarily from headquarters to take charge
of the new Third ward station on Monday
when it is opened and Lieutenant Wrinn
will take Captain Hyde's time at headqnar-
tiers during the day. Sergeant Driscoll
will fill Lieutenant Wrinn's time at night.
Captain Hyde's absence cannot but be re-
marked by the day newspaper men.
These changes are but temporary, and it
is expected that before next week is over
Lieutenant Wrinn, then Captain Wrinn,
will sit behind the desk and "rule the
roost" at the Third ward station. This is
what the friends of this efficient officer
predict
Superintendent Bollmann reported to
the board the recent derogative stories
about Supernumeraries Hayden and w.
G. Allen. the first of whom was tried yes
terday in Hamden for abducting and abus-
ing his wife, and the second of whom was
employed as watchman at Mrs. Winches-
teris on Prospect street when the vicinity
was visited by burglars. No action wa:
taken by the commissioners.
1t was voted to pay Officers Pabor and
Williams in full for the night upon which
they were suspended, and to allow them tc
wear their old shields until further or
ders.
Long distance telephones, four in all
will be placed in all of the stations and a
headquarters.

a battle was fought on the pampa at

with the loss of about 500 men. On the
10th Iquique surrendered. A riot the

There was hard fighting from morning
till evening in the town, the opposi-

from the fleet to protect the Intendencia
and to cover the landing of the marine.
The business part of the town was fired by
incendiaries the same evening. Captain
Lambdon of the Warspite, landed
under fire to arrange an armistice and
to take aboard any of the women and
children from the town. An armistice
was declered till noon of February 20 and
was arranged by the mediation of Admiral
Hotham. On the afternoon of the Goth
the government troops were surrendered
to the feet by Colonel Soto who had
fought gallantly. The town is now in
possession of the feet. No foreign resi-

WILL PLAY THE SEASON OUT.

Manager Hilton Talks OF the Attach
| ment and Gives His Reasons There
| for-The Company In u Coed Finan-
cta1 Condition and VIII Play the
Season Out.
Manager Hilton was seen by a COURIER
| reporter last evening and spoke as follows
in reference to the proceedings which were
instituted yesterday: mo assessments have
been laid since previous to June 10, 1890.
The assessments then laid were to pay up
bills contracted during the playing season
of 1889 and 1890. The nature of the bills
was a salary of 81 $50 which the board of
directors voted to the officers at time
when there was no money in the treasury
to pay same, and for rent, electric lights
and other sundries. These bills have all
been paid and the management holds a
receipt in full for them, as well as from
Jones for all claims. The association is
indebted to Hicks only to the amount
of $25. The Polo company is on q
good financial basis and viii play the sea-
son out, all reports to the contrary not
withstanding. We have retained counsel
and will fight the case to the bitter end
There is not the slightest foundation for
the rumor that the company will 60 into
insolvency as we have no such idea in our
mind, our only plans being to continue to
play polo and if possible by hard work,
bring the championship to this city We
are prepared to and will pay all bills con-
tracted by us and will play the season out
The reason for the action taken by Messrs.
Hicks and Jones is that they were not
elected to the board of directors this
season owing to the fact that the
majority of the stockholders thought they
did not conduct the business properly last
season and they therefore left them off
the board of directors. They have threat
ened to do all they could to kill polo in
this city and yesterday played their trump
card. We will, however, be found doing
the season,

Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 25.-Up to
noon to-day reports showed at least six
persons lost their lives in the floods. The
family of Charles Watts is also missing
from near Downey and is supposed

neighborhood. s. Laurens was drowned
at Wilmington, while trying to rescue

banks and ran together and made great
inland sea, six to ten miles wide and
seventeen miles long. Many houses were
swept away and number of families oc
cupying the territory inundated have moi
been heard from. Shots were heard
in Downey in Money, fired at Watts ranct
and are supposed to have been signal o.

Down by the sad Sea waves.

1t was down by the 'big sea water" be-
low Savin Rock, at Id. Chidsey's cottage,
the other evening that party of twenty
of New Ravens successful business men
met after spirited brushes between their
stylish teams en- route Tn dinner was a
very superior one, Prokasky catering, and
the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed and
broke up at about midnight. Three of the
party however, were left behind and stayed
all night at the cottage. Their team was
missing. Protracted search and inquiries
were unavailing. 1t was feared Governor
Hill might have to be called upon for a
requisition, but next day the team was
found in New Haven. The horse had got
out from under the shed and returned to
New Haven with orderly precision to his
masters stable.

Mr.. Daniel Frohman's company in 1.-The
Charity Ball" attracted large audience
last evening despite the weather. The
play is by Messrs. Belasco and De Mile,
authors of 1.-The Wife" and "Lord Chum-
ley.n 1t has a mingled humor and pathos
that characterize all the work of these
popular authors and in the dialogue there
are frequent lines of analogy to the famil-
lar characters in 1.-THE Wife" But it is
not nearly as good a play as "The Wife, !"
which must be considered their masterpiece
In ''The Charity Balp' the humor is as
bright and sparkling, but it seems as
though good deal of the pathoo is wasted.
1t interests the audience, however, and it
has met with great success. The company
last evening with two exceptions was q
thoroughly satisfactory one, but these ex-
ceptions were important ones. Mr.. Boyd
Putnam spoiled the well drawn part of
John Van Buren,, rector of St. Mildred's,
by actually ranting. He has yet to learn
how to be intense without mouth
ing his words or saving the
air with his gestures. Miss
Ruth Carpenter was also very unsatisfac-
tory as Ann Cruger. Either she has not
voice enough or she did not use it. She
played her part as much too tamely as Mr.
Putnam was too emphatic. The rest of
the company was excellent. The work of
Mr.. Henry Herman, Mr. Thomas 81. Burns,
Miss Bessie Tyree and Miss Frances Gaunt
deserves much praise, as does the elaborate
manner in which the play was staged. 1t
was an enjoyable performance, though
somewhat disappointing to those who per
haps expect too much of a travelling organ
ization. 'The Charity Ball" will be re-
peated this evening.
