STARS TO FALL.
Preparing for To-Morrow
Nights Meeting.
Chief Crowley Says He Is Acting
Within His Legal Right in With
holding Information.

The uneasy feeling in police circles in
ereases as the hour for the next meeting Of
the commissioners draws nearer. Some
more stars will fall, but how many is d
matter of conjecture. 1t is common talk
that two more strgeants will be decapi-
tated and about a score of patrolmen.
Chief Crowley was at his Office bright
and early yesterday morning and remained
till nearly o'clock in the afternoon. BE
has almost completely recovered and ap-
peared in better spirits than at any time
since the night On which Clerk Hall was
summarily dlsms sed.
Just before leaving he was seen By a
CALL reporter for a few minutes.
"'lheTe is nothing new to-day in regard
to the action Of the Grand jury said the
Chief. apt2in Lees gave them all the
Information necessary. and if l bad been
present l could not nave added to it.
Yes, you can say that ! am going on
with the good work, and will go on with
il TIL l am satisfied that l can do no more
II am acting simply within my legal
rights in refusing 10 divulge the source OF
Information which enabled me TO lay my
hands upon the men who betrayed ms con-
fdeDce and the trust reposed IN them.
"a journalist often receives iniOrmatlo
that ables him TO expose some form OF
corruption, but be IS not IN the habit oil
telling the public the source of his inform
alton an in the same position, but, as
/ said before l have the law on my side.
Just look st section 1881 of the Code OF
Civil Procedure, subsection ..
The subsection referred TO reads as fol-
lows: "A public officer cannot be exam
med as to cnmmun icai0Ds made to him In
official confidence when the public inter-
esfs would suffer by the disclosure"
From this 1t would seem that the Chief
believes that the public interests would
suffer If the facts in connection with the
summary dismissal Of the men were made
DUbiic.

JUMPED BY FOOTPADS.
Unpleasant Experience of Thomas
Walsh on Fifth Street.

Thomas Walsh. of 2 Harriet street, had
an unpleasant experience with two foot
pads at an early hour yesterday morning.
He was on his way home with, as he said,
"a little jag on" and when passing the
Mint Cd Fifth street two men jumped him.
Que of Them struck him over the head with
some blunt Instrument knocking him down.
As he attempted 10 rise he got another
blow in the face which streatched him out.
He remembered nothing more till police
man shook him back TO consciousness.
The policeman took Wash home and
Yesterday morning he went to the Receiv-
ing Hospital. Dr.. Berry found that the
blow on the head bad made an ugly wound.
but fortunately had OF fractured the skull.
Both of Wslsh's eyes were badly swollen
and blaekened.
Walsh refused to say how much. if any,
money the footpads had taken from him.
but he was thankful his injuries were not
serious,

P. & A. ii Guilfoile. met with quite an
unexpected mishap on South Wilson street
this morning. The wheel fell off his
wagon and while he was looking for help
to set it back in its position some one
made off with a customers Christmas
turkey.
Thursday evening the members of the
South Brooklyn school committee called
at the building to put the rooms in shape
for the Christmas festival which was given
to the pupils yesterday afternoon The
place was beautifully decorated with ever
green's and presented a most inviting
scene. When the artists were about to
leave, the door was locked leaving Janitor
Germans and Chairman i. s. Lapointe's
house dogs on the inside. When the ami
mails woke up and found themselves
hemmed in they objected to attending
night school. especially when their was no
instructor present and Rover" German
set up hideous howl which made belated
pedestrians pass with bated breath and de-
clare that the place was haunted. The
dogs were liberated early yesterday morn
ing, when it was found that they had cut
up all sorts of capers during their i'm
prisonment. One of them had almost
gnawed hole through the door and if n
reprieve had not come so soon the CANNES

President Cleveland Killed Fifty Ducks.

GEORGETOWN. :. C., Dec. -. - The
sounds of rapid firing of heavy ducking
guns heard by early risers gave evidence
of the fact that President Cleveland and
party were again enjoying another day
break engagement with the mallards and
canvasbaeks in the marshes of Muddy hay.
The subsequent appearance of the dispatch
boat waccamaw with 90 big fat ducks
showed that the sport was in nowise di-
minishing. Fifty of these birds were
brought down by the presidents gun.
