A MANS HOUSE HIS CASTLE.
Tho Right of an officer to Enter House
in Making an Arrest Outlined.

III hdhthE al ftETdsL Oubthhuas
William Macy, a notorious colored
character, was arraigned in municipal
court, on Tuesday, upon the charge OF
disorderly conduct and resisting an of
ficer. The charge was preferred by
Patrolman William j. Gainor.
Macy appeared IN the dock with his
head swathed in bsndages. He was
brought to the police station Monday
afternoon, covered with blood and with
his head battered and broken from the
blows of the officers club. His injuries
were dressed and he spent the night In
q cell.
officer Gainor was called to testify.
He said that Macy was very disorderly
on Lord street Monday, and when he
attempted to arrest him the negro fled
into house and the officer after him.
Gainor tried to arrest Macy, but the
negro resisted desperately. The officer
had to club him into submission, and
only after Macey's head was battered
and bruised by the baton did he submit
at all and agree to go with the officer.
After listening to the officer, Judge
Ball told Gainor that he had exceeded
his authority in following Macy into
his house. He said mans house was
his castle and an officer had no right to
invade the sanctity Of mans house
hold without warrant.
Judge Ball said the murder of Officer
Baylis by Lewis List, some years ago
ought to teach the officers q lesson; that
they had no right to enter mans house
without warrant. Baylis chased List
into his own home from the street and
when List faced him with revolver
Baylls advanced, and was shot down
List was acquitted on the ground thai
he was defending himself against the
invasion of an officer without warrant
| Macy was dismissed.

The members of the board expressed
the belief that they would be able to
meet the expenses between now and the
end of the fiscal year by practicing
economy at every opportunity. The
above report included the expenditures
of the commission for the past five
months.
Chief Dolan reported that he had Sc
cured a new long distance telephone,
had placed the old one in his own
house, had furnished his office, and the
one thing missing now was clock. He
thought one could be purchased for
about 81. The board was IN favor Of
buying one that would be serviceable
and decided TO purchase the chronome-
ter. The chief also stated that he had
stopped some of the men from purchas-
ing winter gloves for the present in
order that a uniform article might be
adopted by the board. He was in,
structed to procure samples.
The house sergeants' report showed
that there were five officers on the sick
list and one undergoing penitence for
violation of rules. Tho latter was
Officer Canning, who was suspended at
the last meeting If the board for neglect
ing his reports and riding through his
| district on street car. The chief said
that Canning vacation expired on Sun
day last and his suspension begun Mon
day morning. He said 1t was customary
for the officers to report at the city hall
once day while on the repentance
stool, but as Canning wanted to go gum
ming, he had excused him from reporting
at the city hall the first three days Of
this week.
Mr.. Pyle spoke of the proposition Of
the board to place a wash basin In the
"bum cell" at the city hall in order that
the unfortunate creatures driven into
the station house by the cold for a
nights lodging, might have an oppor-
tunity to cleanse themselves with clear
water on arising from the hard, cement
floor in the morning, He thought the
plan capital one as did also Mr..
Monaghan. The board stated hereto
fore the outcasts had been making their
toilets by flushing the concave vessels in
the lavatory, and applying the water
obtained by flushing to their hands and
face. Janitor Charles Thomas had been
so impressed by the necessity for an
iron wash basin after seeing the vagrants
resort to this unnatural method, that he
reported the matter to the commission
which acted accordingly.
The board announced their intention
to give up the room occupied by the
State detectives in conjunction with DR.,
NJ, J. Hughes. Chief Dolan stated thai
the room was seldom used by the police
surgeon any more as most OF thu
| surgical cases were attended to In the
corridor of the police station. The board

LAUREL. Nov. l3.-This community is
much agitated over the proposed indict-
ment Of huckster named Hastings, who
is alleged to have butchered and sold in
the local market diseased cow. A negro
who helped to kill and dress the animal
states that he abandoned the job Of skim

far as can be learned ate of it for the reason
that its odor when cooking was SO often
sive that it was thrown away.
The COW is said to have been afflicted for
several months with large liberated
abcess which had become so bad that
Hastings feared she would die. The board
of health are investigating the matter and
