FOElNG THE MARK.
Fire Department Men
on Trial.
The Board Wants Additional Power
to InfIict Fines for Violation
of Rules.

at looks as if there was an epidemic in
the department" remarked Commissioner
Edwards at the meeting of the Fire Com
missionerS Yesterday afternoon when the
seventh man was called to answer TO a
charge of violation Of the rules.
John FitZsiumons, stoker OF engine II,
and Joseph Bennett. driver in the same
company, were charged with neglect of
duty in not keeping the premises clean,
and each was suspended for thirty days
from August 3d.
John Farrell, fireman engine Is, was
charged with neglect of duty. He stepped
forward and handed President Schmitt
his resignation, which was promptly ac-
cepted
James Breslin, extraman hose l, was
charged with drunkenness. He failed to
appear and was dismissed from the depart
Dltnt
p. Drew, extramau engine Is. was
charged with violating on two occasions the
11-o'clock rule. 1t was the first case under
this rule, and as Drew had shown an utter
disregard for lis superior officers orders
be was dismissed from the department.
William ShackletoD, tillerman truck l,
was charged with neglect of duty In not
keeping the premises clean. and was sus-
pended for thirty DAYS from Augustus.
Thomas Evans, driver of the water
tower was charged with neglect OF duty
on August q. Commissioners Martin made
motion that the trial be postponed for
week, which was seconded by Commits
sioner Ames.
President Schmitt protested against a
pnstponement He said Evans was paid
officer and has been guilty of insubordina-
ton. The department was ready to pro-
coed, and Evans had had ample time 10 get
q n ri
and would have bad effect.
Commissioner Martins motion was,
however. carried by vote of 3 to2
Chief Sullivan made complaints against
Fred Jackson, hoSeman hose q, and John
Hart, tTuekman truck 3. of being incom-
petent to perform their duty through
drunkenness, and he was instructed to
prefer charges against them. to be heard
at the next meeting of the board.
The designations of James Kennedy, ex-
traman truck 6, and John Barnes, steward
hose /. were accepted.
William H. Mulcahey. extraman engine
IS, wrote asking for relief, as he had been
severely burned at the Page-street IRE on
June and had been unfit for duty since.
1t was decided to recommend 10 the Board
OF Supervisors that he be granted 500
relief.
On the suggestion of President Schmitt,
COMMISSIONS Ames gave notice of mo-
ton TO amend the bylaws so that the
board would have power to inf1ict fines for
violation of the rules
Chief Sullivan said that such an amend
mpnt was absolutely necessary. A sus-
pension of ten. fifteen, twenty or thirty
days was no punishment. but rather a
benefit. as it gave the man a vacation
which, as a general rule, he was glad to
get. He knew that tho suspended men
were in the habit Of smiling at the sus-
pension and telling their friends how easy
they had got off. The fines would baye
salutary effect and the money could be
utilized to swell the benefit fund.
Commissioner Edwards thought there
was no use in bringing farward such

The Behring Sen Arbitration.

PARIS, April 6.-The morning session
of the Behring sea court of arbitration
today was dull, and even the eloquence
of such leaders as Attorney General
Russell and J. @. Carter failed to awaken
interest. Even the members of the
court seemed bored, and it was noticed
that the august head of Sir John Thomp-
son, one of the British arbitrators, fre-
quently nodded and suggested the aw-
tul suspicion that he was tempted to
slumber. Sir Charles Russell concluded
his argument in reply to the objections
of Hon. E. ]. Phelps, counsel for the
United States, to the legal character of
certain evidence offered by Great
Britain. E. ]. Carter then proceeded to
reply to Sir Charles Russell IS arguments.
Carter was still arguing on behalf of
the American case when the court adj
journed.

Cholera in Russia.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April There is
now scarcely a doubt entertained by
those aware of the real situation that
Russia is to again suffer from the rava-
ges of cholera. Official returns have
been made public showing that from
March 10Th to March Goth there were
Go cases of cholera and 19 deaths from
the disease in the town of Orel. The
official figures place the number OF cases
of the disease reported from March 18th
to March 9th in the government of Oofa
at 81 and the deaths at 20. In addition
to the bad showing of the above official
figures, it is matter of common knowl-
edge that the number of cholera cases
and deaths from the scourge are far
more numerous in the governments
that are not included IN the returns.
This is especially the case in Podolia and
Saratooff. which we're ravagcd by
cholera last year.
