sraI Railroad News
Harry McKeen, of Kansas City's crack
fire department, was in the city yester-
day and called at the Santa Fe shops
fire department He was very much
surprised and impressed with its COM
pleteness.
There are fourteen men in the depart
ment and az their method is almost perfect
a fire has little chance to do much damage.
The headquarters house is Just north OF
the storerOom and in it at night sleep
four men: VIM Hayden, Zach. w oods
John Erase and Jacob Long.
The officers of the department are,
John O'Brien, chief;Joe Byers, assistant;
John Wood, foreman. The. sleeping
room is scrupulously clean. When a
fire alarm comes in the whistlS-goug
sets up a changing and yell that no man
could sleep through and &C the same
time the net curtains of the beds are au-
tomaticaIly jerked out of the way.
This appliance was invented and made
by Chief O'Brien. who established the
department here fourteen years ago and
also the ones st the Santa Fe shops at
Fort Madison, Iowa, Argentine and Otta-
wa.
There are hose houses and ladders in
all parts of the yards. This is necessary
as it would be next to impossible to drag
a reel on a truck over the tracks. The men
are all of the department there is TO
move and if the fire is any distance
away a switch engine is pressed into SER
vice. Every man in the shops under
stands the fire signals. The call MEM
bers of the company are Walter Cope
Stephenson, Steve Lewis and Ed Shelf

They were drunk and disorderly in the

gloriously drunk. Some engaged in a

drunk to fight and lay on the ground in
a drunken stupor. Six policemen, head
ed by Sergeant Donovan, raided the
whole crowd and captured ten of the

These ten men wabbled into court with

VIOLATED NO LAW.
The Supreme Court Frees
NJ. d. Hamilton.
AS ex-County Clerk of San Diego
lie Failed to Pay Over Certain
Funds to His Successor.

The Supreme Court rendered decision
yesterday of great importance TO county clerk ks
and of particular importance 10 NJ. d. Haml-
ton, ex-County Clerk of san Diego. who was
arrested for falling to pay over certain funds TO
his successor. The decision set Hamilton at
liberty and pointed out the urgent need of an
amendment 10 the State law.
Hamilton was County Clerk of san Diego for
the TWO years next prior TO January ., 1891,
when his term of office expired and he was
succeeded by w. NJ. Gasseway. He was in.
crime of omitting to pay over TO Gasseway the
sum OF S4422 26. public money alleged 10 have
been received by him while in Office.
Hamilton entered plea OF not guilty, but
the charge against lin was sustained and he
was sentenced TO TWO years con finement In the
State Prison at San Quentin. A new trial was
denied and he appealed TO the Supreme Court
Hamlton's counsel cOntended that the money
received by him was not public money; that
there is no law requiring County Clerk upon
the expiration of his term OF office 10 transfer
TO his successor in office public money In his
hands; that his successor In office was not
authorized 10 receive the money In question,
and that there was no duty Imposed by law up
on Hamilton 10 turn the money over to HIM.
1t appears that The money which Hamilton
failed TO turn over to his successor was received
by him as deposits from litigants TO cover an
tcipated costs 10 cases pending IN the Superior
Court of San Diego County, and his counsel
contended that there was no law which author
lied him 10 receive such deposits, and therefore
being Illegally collected no duty devolved upon
him under the law 10 pay the money to his
successor. The money, lie Insisted, belonged
TO the litigants and should have been returned
to them, or II received under cover OF Office and
not claimed by the litigants it should have
been paid TO the County Treasurer.
The same view OF the case was taken by the
Supreme Court, which said, IN ordering the
case dismissed: "Tne clerk is not financial
custodian of public money except as to fees,
etc., collected or received by him 10 The use of
the county, ana for which IL is his duty 10 ac-
count with the treasurer on the first Monday of
eacn mouth.
mo statute is pointed out or suggested under
which it is made his duty at any time or under
any circumstances 10 pay over public money in
his hands to his successor in office.
THE most that can be said is that the law
ought TO havs provided III cases like the
present for the paying o the successor in the
office or County Clerk such sums OF money
placed on deposit az security for fees as have
not been exhausted In payment for services
rendered, but the answer is that, however de.
sirable. there was no such law up TO the date of
the expiration Of defendants term OF Office"
