done active work. both as a volunteer and
as a paid fireman. Mr.. II. 5. Turner also
testified that the chief did not appear to
him to be drunken man at the HUI fire.
Assistant Chief Mouros recommendation
Of Assistant Foreman +. J. Strobhert TO
be foreman Of engine company No 4, in
stead OF Assistant Foreman A. J. Herman,
was put in evidence. The records ana
journals, showing men off duty on oct.
Z and Jan. 26, were offered for eXamina-
uon and Chief Mcguire produced the old
records OF the volunteer fire department
to show how few fires he missed attending
while he was a member
The last witness called was w. d. Clal-
borne the electrical engineer of the de-
partment. His testimony was not taken,
however as IL was decided that 1t was
irrelevant TO the charges but Mr.. Law
renee first demurred on the ground that
the evidence, though being supposedly
only a rebuttal, was really in
Producing new testimony. Mr.. Adams
was discussing this point when
Mr.. Lawrence made the claim of irrele-
vance. and Mr.. Claiborne was allowed to
retire.
The chief had a written statement of
the history of the fight made against him
that he desired to read, as >he thought 1t
would tend to clear him before the com
mission and before the public, but it was
finally decided that the paper would not
be read. Mr. Lawrence consenting and ad-
Vising that the chief should not read il
as it was not wholly relevant to the
charges.
Chief Mcguire then made a statement
regarding the assertion of Assistant Chief
Mouro that he had been drunk and stag
gerng at No As engine house on one oc-
casion. The date of Feb. IS, 1896, was as
cribed as the date of this occurrence, this
date having been given by j. j. Morris in
his evidence. The chief said he had had
only two drinks and was not drunk and
that, if he had been, he would not have
asked Mr.. Mouro if he had been drunk.
The conclusion of the tedious investi-
cation is more than welcome TO all, who
have participated in it. All the witnesses
have been examined and there remains
nothing more than for the commission to
reach a decision. There win be no sum-
ming up of evidence by Messrs. Adams
and Lawrence. The former gentleman
stated that he had no desire TO make a
speech. Mr. Lawrence wished to give a
resume of the testimony, but the commis
sion decided that it would not hear the
arguments.

on the Bowery, which was seen at the
theater last night, is a very good show of
its kind. 1t was witnessed by a good au-
dience which, however, was top-heavy.
AS the title of the piece indicates, the
scenes and characters are drawn from
THAI famous section of New York known
as the Bowery. There is just enough
plot TO give the piece some action, though
not enough to give the auditor trouble in
following The play opens in the resi-
dence of a New York swell, where two
crooks break safe and make a haul.
OF course an innocent man-who by the
way-happens to be a newspaper reporter
is arrested. The crooks are caught by
an inrlate of the house, who shares in
the Doodle, and he compels the thieves to
assist MIN in kidnapping a girl, whom he
wants put out of the way. She Is thrown
from the Brooklyn bridge at night, but is
rescued 10y Barney Flynn, a bridge jump
er. The william meets his deSsrts, while
the man charged with crime iS, of
course, yindicated and marries the girl
of his choice.
The second act is laid in Steve Brodie's
joint on the Bowery, and an excellent rep
resentatIon of a bowery saloon it is. Here
is where Chuck Connors the King of Chi
natown, does his turn Chuck has only a
small part and did not have too much to
say, but the gallery screamed with delight
every time he opened his mouth His dance
with Name, de rag" as he styled her,
was new thing in the line of terpsieho-
rean art.
The company is a large one and most of
the parts are wen taken. Frank Bush in
the character of Michelowsky. a sidewalk
mcrcf ant, was immense. William Mitchell
as Dismal Delaney" a bum, was the best
tramp character seen here in long time.
There were a number of good specialties.
