NO SERGEANT APPOINTED.

The Police Commissioner Unable to
Decide Upon Sergeant Stormont's
Successor-A Long But Fruitless Ses-
sion.
The much expected appointment of q
geant Charles T. Stormont did not mater
ialize at the meeting of the police commits
sioners last evening, although the members
tussled long and YEARLY with the knotty
question. All the members were present,
but notwithstanding their herculean efforts
no decision was arrived at, and the matter
| went over to the next meeting.
After the monthly bills of the depart
ment and the payroll for eighteen days
amounting to 81, 1887 had been approved,
a letter from Edward W. Smith of the
Daily Courier, Lowell, Mass. congratulate
ing the department on having such an able,
efficient and courteous officer at the depot
as Officer Bi!by, who, the communication
stated, had been extremely courteous to
the writer when he came to the city q
stranger to attend q funeral, was read and
ordered on file.
The board then voted to go into execu
tive session. Then the fight over appoint
ing a sergeant commenced. After dis
cussing the question in all it's various
phases for an hour the members decided
to hold caucus and see if they could moi
in some way arrive at some conclusion
Accordingly Commissioner, Smith, Hum
and Platt, the republican contingent, retir
ed to one corner, while Democratic Com
missioners Clancy, Sheehan and Andrew
retired to the opposite corner. In thi
manner the struggle went merrily on TO-
an hour longer, but finally the member
came to the conclusion that it was ''n'
60" and came together again and i'm
mediately voted to adjourn.

George @. Leete, sexton of the First
Baptist Church, Nearly Burned TO
Death - An Explosion Sets Fire
to His Clothing-His Presence of
Mind-Seriously Burned.
George G. Leete, sexton of the First
Baptist church, had very narrow escape
from being burned to death yesterday
afternoon. While cleaning the boiler
which heats the church a slight explosion
occurred and he was terribly burned,
some of his clothes catching fire from the
flame. About a week ago all the water
was drawn out of the boiler preparatory
to fixing it for the summer. AS most
boilermakers know, the water in the boiler
is drawn off and quantity of oil poured
| into the boiler. Enough water is then put
into the boiler to fill it. The water is then
drawn off again aud the oil, which stays
on top of the water, clings to the sides of
the boiler, and in this way the inside of
| the boiler is protected from the rust.
! The boiler was prepared in the above
manner about week ago, and Mr.. Leete
was opening the cover to let out the
water when the explosion occurred. Mr..
Leete was 30 dazed that he does not know
what he was doing or how he was hurt.
| He was knocked down and his Jumper and
| vest were on fire. He managed to crawl
to sink near by and he had the presence
of mind to put out the flames He then
crawled to the door which enters into the
lecture room of the church and cried for
help.
A lady who lives in the house next door
to the church heard the explosion and
went to the window to see what had hap
pened. She heard Mr.. Leete's cries for
help and sent her little daughter for po
liceman.
The little girl found Officer Walters il
conversation with Officers Stokes and
Poronto. The officers all hurried to tn,
place and picked up the wounded man
Mr.. Leete was bleeding from cut owe
the eye and several severe burns. TIL,
police wagon from Station 2 was summon
| ed and the injured man was taken to hi
home at 972 Chapel street.
Il DR.. 9. S. White was Immediately sum
moned and did much to relieve the suffer
| ings of the unfortunate man. He sait
there was no internal injuries, but tn
right side of Mr.. Leete's face, chest ant
right arm and hand are terribly burned
The reason given for the explosion is tn
} only plausible one and Is advanced by
, well known boiler maker. He says tina
plosion was undoubtedly formed from tn
oil in the boiler and that was ignited b
. the lantern which Mr.. Leete carried. TIL
| explosion did no damage to the boiler o
, the building.

THE COURT RECORD.
Superior COurt-Criminal Side-Jud

Superior Court-Criminal Side-Judge
Thayer.
The July term of this court was opened
yesterday afternoon by prayer by Rev. Mr..
Van Ingen. Judge Thayer of Norwich
was on the bench. The gallery contained
the usual number of spectators when the
court was called to order by Sheriff Tom
linson, while several members of the local
bar occupied seats on the main floor.
The first case called was that against
William H. Burnham of Westville, who is
charged with committing rape on Mrs.
Emily johnson in Westville. Attorney
Prentice W. Chase at once made applica-
ton for the discharge of his client, claiming
that the papers in the case were defective.
State Attorney Doelittle objected, but
Judge Thayer granted the discharge. State
Attorney Doolittle then appealed for a
bench warrant on which to rearrest Burn
ham and his request was granted and
Burnham again placed under arrest. A
grand jury will be called on Thursday to
indict Burnhnm, John F. Dixon, William
Webster and Henry Whalen, all four on
charges of rape.
A continuance was granted at the re-
quest of Attorney Goodhsrt in the case of
Charles Bernstein for embezzlement, al
though Attorney Doolittle strenuously
opposed the application.
Thomas Farrell pleaded guilty to the
theft of IS cents and received sentence
of six months in jail.
Harry Fields pleaded guilty to the theft
of bicycle from Lawrence Sullivan of
this city, and was sentenced to year in
| Jail.
Arthur Hall, who stole $3.50 from
Frank Hall, pleaded guilty and received a
jail sentence of two months, with fine of
81. John Brown pleaded guilty to the
| theft of suit of clothes and a watch and
was fined $50.
Murtie Savage was sentenced to one
year in state prison for theft.
Frederick A. Thomson was next put to
plea on three indictments for forgery. One
was for forging note for 81 900 and de-
frauding Frederick Howshield, and the
other two were for forging notes for 81 200
and defrauding Wales o. Hotchkiss. At
torney Goodhart, who appeared for Thorn
son, advised him to plead guilty and this
the accused did in both cases. State At
torney Doolittle had no objection to a light
sentence, owing to the fact that Thomson
had pleaded guilty. Attorney Goodhart
| 1nooo Oh eoAAoso P1eo AoI CieAuoucy, dltoI
which Judge Thsyer sentenced Thomson
to one year in Jail on each count, total of
three years.
There were four cases against Thomson,
but through Attorney Goodhart's efforts
one was nolled. By the attorneys efforts
and the efforts and intercession of friends
all the other outstanding claims against
Thomson have been adjusted, and as the
| prisoner has now only three years to serve
in prison-a very light sentence-it is ex-
| pected that he will on his release be ena-
bled to resume business and make new
| start in the world. Being still young
man, and with the bitter lesson over, it is
| hoped that he will ultimately recover, in a
great measure, at least, in station of use
fulness, the respect of his fellow-men.

bling ARRAY.
At about 6 o'clock last night two well
dressed men were standing together on
Custom House square. Suddenly one of
them in unmistakable broken italian ac-
cused the Irish race of being enemies to
his race and always causing trouble. "We
could get along all right" he said, eff it
were not for the Irish" The man in con-
versation with him, who was as clearly an
Irishmsn, attempted to demonstrate when
the Italian reached for his hip pocket witn
villainous oath. A bystander seized his
arm and further alteration was pre-
vented.
The men we're both about twenty years
of age and of slight build. They refused
to give their names and apparently were
not known among the bystanders.
