MAYOR SANFORD IN A ROW.
One of His Excise Commissioners
Refuses to Resign.
MIR. Cassidy Causes Trouble in the
Reform Camp.

LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l., Jan. g.
There is split In the Sanford Admins
tration over a disagreement in the Ex-
else Board. Up to Jan. the Board con-
sisted of Joseph Cassidy, Michael T.
Mitchell and Carl Lankow. At the re-
cent election Cassidy was elected Alder
man of the Second Ward. He ran as an
Independent Democrat. He took his
seat with the Board Of Aldermen when
that body convened on Jan. /.
On that date Mayor Sanford called
Cassidy into his Office and told him ne
must resign his place as treasurer oi
the Excise Board. Cassidy said ne
would II he was allowed to name his sue
uessor. Mayor Sanford told him he al.
ready had promised Cassidy's place tc

said that Roche was an enemy OF his
and that he would not resign then undei

IS He bROOKLYN's F|REBuG ?
Joseph ArdiSone Apparently Has
a Mania for Blazes.
Arrested While Acting Suspiciously
Early This Morning.

The Brooklyn police believe that they
have at last discovered the author of a
number Of incendiary fires which have
occupied the attention of the Fire De-
partment during the past six weeks.
At an early hour this morning young
man, who says he is Joseph Ardezone,
twenty-one years old. and who is un-
able to give the police his correct ad-
dress, was arrested on a charge Of va
grancy. His queer actions, incoherent
talk and partial admissions that he set
fire to several places have set the police
to investigating his past history. There
is no doubt that the prisoner Is insane.
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
Policeman Charles A. Gully, Of the
Adams street station, saw the young
man pacing rapidly around the block in
which are located the Court House. Hall
of Records, Police Headuarterr, Polytec-
mic Institute and other buildings.
A half hour later the officer saw the
man cross Court Suare. After looking
around, he began fumbiing with the lock
of a door of a fiat house opposite the
Hall OF Records. The ofiicer watched
him awhile and then concluded to arrest
him. When the policeman accosted him
for an explanation the only reply the
man made was:
zone. two. three. four.-Monday. Tues
day, Wednesday, saturday.-Three, four.
five engines"
The prisoner was taken to the sta
tion-house and questioned. His mind
continually dwelt upon the subject of
fires, and when Capt. Campbell asked
him about the fire at Court and Pacific
streets. a few weeks ago, the prisoner
said:
"Oh. yes. know all about II. I saw
them on the fire escapes-Four, five, six
nsines--water-yes, yes"
The prisoner also admitted knowledge
of several other fires. He was locked up
in cell. He had nothing in his pockets
except a bunch Of keys and these were
missing when he was brought out this
morning.
Ardizone was taken to Police Head
quarters this morning. and all the police
captains looked at him, but none could
remember having seen him before.
After being photographed. he was
taken to the Adams Street Court. Judge
Walsh sent him to jail for week.
Meanwhile the police will investigate his
antecedents, and the Charities Commits
sioners will have him examined to ascer-
tain his mental condition.
