that he and others had suit in the courts
against the North Western North Caro-
lima Railroad company, attacking the
validity of the bonds (before and after
they were issued) for the building OF the

Prince Albert had an easy time car

and Fighting Bob are the result of hard
ships experienced, and dangers encoun-
tered in company.
They have sailed together on the Vic
let, on the Maple, and on the John Rodg
ers. Fighting Bob has navigated the
Violet through the intricate channels Of
the Dismal Swamp. He has stecred the
Mample straight out TO sea in spite OF
heavy groundswell from the nor nor
east, and whole battery Of telescopes
and marine glasses aimed at the gallant
little craft from the hotels and cottages
along the shore. He has run the John
Rodgers al the way from Jersey City to
BuzZard's Bay without grounding ber, or
breaking shaft, or the loss Of single
demiiohn Of her ballast. The president
knows Fighting Bobs seanansh p
through and through and thoroughly
trusts it.
Mr. Cleveland's personal observation
of the maritime qualities of Fighting Bob,
as displayed on board Of the Violet and
the Maple, led to the assignment Ct that
hero to larger and more important ship,
the cruiser New York. 1t is the most
desirable assignment in the navy, and in
the routine of the service there were
officers who had claims prior to those t
Bob; but Bob got the ship, all the same.
As soon as Fighting Bob has landed
Mr. Cleveland at Jersey City on his way
back to Washington and tariff reform,
Fighting Bob is expected to transfer his
flag from the John Rodgers to the New
York He was due on the quarter deck
Of the New York last Monday, but has
been prevented from taking command on
that day by circumstances beyond his
control
A question of considerable interest at
present in naval circles is as to the ser
vice to which the cruiser New York will
be put after fighting Bob takes command
of her. The president likes a change of
bottoms, not change of commanders
He went from tie Violet to the Maple,
from the Maple to the John Rodgers !;
but Fighting Bob went with him every
time
AS commander of the New York, will
it still be fighting Bob's highly respOn-
sible duty and precious privilege to con-
vey the president of the United States
whithersoever inclination or malaria
may prompt him TO sail? There is no
law or precedent against converting the
cruiser New York to the private and per
sonal uses Of the president; that is, no
law or precedent that does not apply
with equal force to the Violet, the Maple
and the John Rodgers.-N. Y. Sun.

New York, Oct. 2.-The Lexow conf
mittee was called 10 order at II o'clock
today and Mr.. COT said that ne proposed
to introduce evidence to-day which was
Of great importance. both 10 the COM
mittee and the citizens Of New York.
The testimony will be considered
in three lights, said Mr.. COT,
first with regard 10 the police
man as a disturber of the peace
and a danger to the safety Of
the citizens Of this city. second. that the
police force is above the ordinary laws Of
this state, and it will be shown that a
policeman who commits a feionious Of
fence may get of with a few days fine
and reprlmand from a police court A
policeman can brain a citizen with
his club and all the punish
ment he receives VIII be small
ne committed the same would be sent to
Sing Sing and thirdly, that the perjury
which has been committed by policemen
during the recent trials at headquarters
IS unreasonable and unparalleled and in
tact, as one of the commission put it, the
air OF the court at police headquarters
was blue with perjury
BOOK OF RECORDS.
Lawyer Moss, of Dr. Parkhurst's So
ciety, here produced a big volume Of
records of police trials at headquarters,
which he said he himself had prepared.
1t appears said he that a majority of
the Officers on the force have had convic-
tons recorded against them, and that In
cases for which, if tried in the
criminal courts, the penalty would
heavy n ic Lot off NIT a
small fine. There has been no serious
punishment by captains previous to the
appointment OF this committee. There
are now on the force ninety policemen
WAC have been convicted since January,
1871, of assaulting citizens in a brutal
manner. For the past three years there
have been 1000 trials of policemen and
now have this volume as evidence"
THE CONVICTIONS.
The report shows that from Jan. l,
1891, to May, 1894, there have been 1903
convictions of police officers and that
ninety-two of these officers are still on
the force and sixteen have retired The
offences charged were oppression
neglect of duty. indecent exposure.
burglary, attempted rape, and similar
charges.
In addition to the 1O9 cases, there were
% cases of not such serious Importance
For instance, an officer was fined ten
days pay for carelessly handling his pis-
tol and killing a citizen
Then there were 2 cases of tampering
with registry books on voting day. There
were SO cases that were still pending and
% cases up to May l. @
A number of witnesses then told of the
brutal clubbings by the police, most of
them without cause.
The examination ofithe policemen, who
had been tried and convicted of various
offenses, took up the remainder of the
session.
