TWO FIREMEN BOUNCED.
Cigarette Smoking the Cause OF Ones Dismissal
An En-ConNict n Fireman.

The Fire Commissioner at their meeting yes
terday dismissed Fireman Joseph IL. OConnor
OF Engine / for absence without leave. When a
month ago charges were made against him of
absenting himself without leave he made the
excuse that the excessive use of cigarettes
caused him at times n total loss OF memory, and
he forgot to go TO the engine house. On his
promise to avoid cigarettes in the future no was
then lot of with a light fine.
Robert Forrest, 4 fireman attached to Engine
8, was dismissed on charges OF intoXication and
absence without leave.
President Sheffield announced that he had
been informed by u detective that Fireman John
Cahill OF Engine b4 was an eN-convict before his
appointment in the department on Feb. .. 1876.
The President added that II this was true the
appointment was void and the man should be
dropped.
Cahill, 1t Is said, was sentenced to five and n
half years in State prison in 1855 on his plea
OF guilty of burglary, and in 1889 was sentenced
to six months in the penitentiary on his plea OF
guilty OF petit larceny. Cahill, who was present,
declared that Gov. Hill had pardoned him when
in State prison. 1t was held that only tho CON
viction Of Il felony could be considered such IL
crime as would render the freman's appoint
ment void, and 1t was n matter OF doubt Il the
Governors pardon did not render the conviction
null. 1t was decided to postpone the considera-
tion of the case.

MAG1srRArE JOB WANTS 4. CLERK,
Hut the Trials tho Selection Involves Recall
Thoae OF His RibIIeaI Namesake.

Job Hedges, the most recently appointed of the
City Magistrates, is looking for the right sort of
a young man to fill a police court clerkship. He
also wants an experienced interpreter who can
talk any language that Is ever heard In a police
court, particularly the lingo OF the crooks. with
which he Is entirely unfamiliar. The fact that
the new Magistrate Is receiving applications
and considering applicants leaked out, and yes
terday Mr.. HedRes's present duties as secretary
to the Mayor were seriously intcrfered with.
some OF the applicants came In person. but
more of them sent friends; Sometimes there
were as many as a dozen friends for one appli-
cant. and the Mayors Office and the anteroom
looked at times as IL there was q hearing going
on on some proposed civic legislation. But tho
day labor was Ruthless. None Of the applicants
fitted the new Magistrates idea of what a police
court clerk should DO, and no appointment has
been made.
year. Mr.. Hedges thinks 1t should be filled by a
man between 25 and 80 years OF age. He must
be sober and Industrious and must be q good
penman. He thinks also that he ought to have
some knowledge of and some acquaintance with
the criminal classes. In all probability there
will be another reception In the City Hall to-day
and the right man may be found.

William Harrison, who Is employed by the
Postal as u trouble hunter was tho COM
plainant against Abbott. He told Magistrate
Kudlich that on April %, at IL o'clock noon,
some one cut the New York and Glenville wire
Of tho company on Bailey avenue, between
Kingsbridge and Morningside Park. The thief
took 1900 feet OF wire. His description, NJ
given by a park policeman who saw him at work
and thought ho was a lineman employed by the
Postal, Tailed exactly with Abbott's.
AT intervals of three to five days similar
thefts occurred. Tho wires were always cut
about the noon hour. Tho New York and Glen.
willie wire was cut on Central avenue between
the city limits and Woodlawn Cemetery and
1000 feet of wire appropriated; the cable line
was cut between Bronxville and East Chester and
l,20O feet Of wire taken; the cable was cut twice
between Pelham Park and Pclhamvillo with an
aggregate loss of 5000 feet of wire; the cable
was again cut between New Rochelle and Pei
ham Manor and $500 feet OF wire taken.
On Monday at noon, while Harrison was test
ing the wires in Larchmont Wood. he found
that there was mo battery" Realizing the
wire had been cut, he ran toward New Rochelle
and soon saw that the new wire. used to repair
the last cut had been removed. Harrison hired
a wagon and was driven to the railroad station
at New Rochelle, where he found Abbott on tho
platform with the stolen wire and n pair of spurs
used In climbing. poles. Harrison handcuffed
Abbott and brought him TO this city. Policeman
Tate OF the Church street station arrested Alb

Lawyer +. q. Jones, in the legal department.
OF the Postal Company, wished to prefer the
dual charge of grand larceny and malicious
mischief against Abbott.
THE loss of the wire at 12ia cents a pound"
he said, a" is but small compared to the loss wa
often.'
Abbott confessed his guilt in the last cut, but
denied any knowledge of the others. AS tho
alleged offence was committed in Westchester
county, Magistrate Kudlich decided that he had
no jurisdiction over the complaint, and ro-
manded Abbott as a suspicious person for two
days to allow Lawyer Jones TO make his COM
plant in Westchesterc county. Abbott will then
be taken there for trial. Abbott said no stole
the wire to sell 1t to junk dealers.

CITr,s RESERVOIRS ING UARDED.
a Largo Fart or the water supply Unparalleled
for Many Hours Each Day.

The attention Of the city authorities has been
called to the fact that the reservoirs in Central
Park, which hold the greater part OF the city's
water supply. are practically unguarded at
times. There are two of these reservoirs in tho
Park, and two-thirds of all the water that is
used is stored in them awaiting distribution.
The reservoirs cover many acres. The embank-
ments are considerably higher than the level Of
the Park, but their sloping sides mako them
easy of access at almost any point. Along the
tops there is an iron fence, and this affords the
only protection to the water supply.
1t has been generally supposed that the res
ervoirs, being in Central Park, were under the
Jurisdiction OF the Park police. SO far ms police
protection is concerned. but that assertion made
yesterday was denied by an official OF the Park
Department.
THE reservoirs" said this official. are
under the exclusive JURISDICTION OF the depart,

lection OF the Park police. although, OF course.

day, and the official who has charge OF the reser-
yoirs has a house on the edge OF one OF them and
lives there. But the laborers are not around at
night. and the official: OF course. is In bed and
asleep. The Park police who are ON duty ~
night. too, are few and far between. SO there is
practically no protection at all. 1t Is a matter
that ought TO he attended tn at once
Although the reservoirs cover many acres. the
circumference OF each is not much greater than
an average police post in the upper districts Of
the city, and ms there are no distractions, it
would be very easy to furnish the protection
that II is admitted is required. One or two men
at each reservoir would be enough, and they
could be easily spared from either the park or
the municipal police. or tho Public Works De.
partment could supply its own ~watchmen and
have police powers conferred on them.
