The furnishing of the summer uni
forms Tor tho police department was
the principal business before the Pc.
lice Commission last evening. Owing
to the dullness OF business In the city
Chief Dolan mentioned that the con.
tract be glven out as soon as possible
that the uniforms might be com pleted
before the last OF March. This would
give work to unemployed taiiors. and
would also insure botter work IN the
getting UP of the garments the work
employing tho attention OF the tailore
before the spring trade.
The commissioners thought the
suggestion good one, and directed
the chief to advertise Tor bids.
The chief was directed to have two
sets Of blanks printed. to be used by
the department in reporting sick Off
GERS. This arose out OF the fact that
two officer5 had been reported by the
surgeon as able TO 20 on duty. The
officers did not report, and gave as
their excuse that tho family physician
had ordered them to remain ut homo.

At 10. rs O'Clock, John l.. vansant,
who was on the stand when court adj
tourned yesterday. was recalled by
Mr.. Bradford. III answer to the Ques-
tion If he had not told Maxwell TO
come over to the south side of the
track, when the horse became fright
ened. he replied he had not.
He did not see Charlee u. Blandy the
treasurer Of the Company, on the day
OF the accident. Nor did he tell hitn
that the accident was not the fault OF
the motorman. Mr. Vansant pointed
on the chart to the tree to which he tied
his shorse after the car had struck
Maxwell. The witness might have
| said before the Coroner jury that the
car stopped about 80 feet from Clay
ton street and that the horse was 80
feet from the crossing whom the car
struck It,
Maxwell had told hi m that he tried
MS colt in the presence OF a drum
corps few nights before, but never
heard him say anything about the
cars. He believed that Maxwell had
made the statement when he. the wit.
ness, had told him Of the frisky nature
OF his own horse.
On redirect cross. examination, he
denied having made the statement
said TO have been made before tho
coroners jury.
Maxwell could have driven his horse
over The pavement and on TO an open
lot when the car approached. but ho
did not think he could after the horse
became unmanageable.
Lucille Ratti was called. On the
day maxwell wa killed he was aboard
the cur. At Rodney street he saw
Maxwell riding up the street. The
morse was then about opposite the
houses and was prancing. At that
time the car was moving rapidly, in
fact faster than he had ever ridden
down the hill before.
| When he lirst saw Maxwell until the
car struck the horse It's speed had not
decreased. The collision shattered the
| windows in the car and II ran 40 or 80
feet before it stopped. In his iudg-
mont the car WAS running at the rate
OF 20 miles an hour.
william L, johnson was called. He
was also aboard the car which struck
the horse on which Maxwell was
riding. AT Rodney strict he noticed
the horse pranclng on the north side
of the avenue.
After the car struck the horse,i ran
about TO feet before it was stopped.
He jumped oil tho car. expecting to
see Maxwell on the north side OF the
track and then ran behind it until It
was stopped. Tho witness helped
take the body from beneath the cur.
and noticed the position of the break
levers.
The motormnn alone had charge OF
