over to the state authorities. Com
plant was made against him b>fore
Squire Hancock, before whom he had
a preliminary examination last Satur-
day. The evidence developed the
facts that Williams had given George
Ball a pistol as security for the loan

until he got to the point wher. he con-
cluded he could accomplish more
varied kinds of devlnent with pistol

naturally demured 10 surrendering
possession of his security. until the
debt should have been discharged in

A Variety OF Fresh Water Pishcs ana Plants
for tho City's Aquarium.

DR.. Bean Of the Aquarium went fishing on
Wednesday last in the Harlem Mere in Central
Park, and he had very good luck; he fshed,
however. with a seine. The seine used was $50
feet in length. and Of a kind specially designed
for collecting specimens. having a bag OF small
mcshed netting attached, into which small
fishes are driven as the net is drawn. Four
hauls were made with this seine, and several
hundred fish were taken. These included eight
or ten cells, some OF them more than two feet IN
length; small catfish, many white perch, more
roach, a lot OF sinners, many fresh water kill.
fish, many sunGsh, and a number OF rock bass.
No turtles were taken. which was considered
singular. Tho fish taken did not by any means
exhaust the Mere, whish is plcntifully stocked.
In the previous week on two occasions a seine
was hauled, under DR.. Beans direction. in the
BronX River. The seine used here was OF the
Prot. baird of the Smithsonian Institution. Who
devised 1t especially for use in small streams
n mss, esrs oDS 6 Greeks te !, Is , a seine al Sll small SIHal
WAS hshed within the borders OF Bronx PARK,
between the dam at the edge Of the park and tho
hrst bridge above; most of the fish taken were
caught near the bridge.
A far greater variety OF life was found in the
SronM: There he We're taken here two species Of
sucker; darters. sinners, roach, sunfish. kill
fish. black bass, pickerel. and crawfsh, Swapping
also taken a variety of water insects and a
quantity OF plants suited 10 aquarium uses.
THE fishes and plants thus taken from the
waters OF two Of the city's parks are for the
city,,s Aquarium In Battery Park. to go toward
stocking the fresh water tanks Of the gallery
tier. which is now nearly completed and is to Re
opened next month. Some Of these tanks have
already been stocked: the fishes taken from
the Central Park and the Bronx Park will sup.
ply ample material for the stocking of four or
fve OF the tanks: There are on the gallery tier of
the Aquarium ffty-siN wall tanks. and the fat
tanks for the turtles. The wall tanks on this
tier are All smaller than those OF the ground tier.
They will be occupied mostly by smaller fishes.
In many cases IL will be possible to show a num-
Der OF different species in the same tank. and in
all of these tanks the fishes will he seen in
greater numbers than in the ground tier tanks.
The region about New York is extremely rich
in its aquatic fauna. both fresh water and
marine, and il is intended to EXHIBIT this life
fully at the Aquarium. The neighhoring salt
waters have long been under regular cnntrihu-
ton; the two little expeditions here mentioned
are only the first OF many such to be made to
fresh waters herca5outs.

Discuss the Coming Campaign.
About fifty representatives of the colored Re.
publican clubs and ward organizations of Brook
Ign met in Granada Hall. the Headquarters Of
the Kings County Colorcd Republican Club, at
1ls Myrtle avenue. Brooklyn. last night, to dis
cuss the municipal campaign. The prime OBJ
ject OF the meeting was to bring about harmony
among tho colored organizations, and to so
strengthen the colored vote that the regular
Republican organization OF Brooklyn will DO
obliged to recognize the rights of the colored
mon to a place on the ticket.
Tho Kings County Colored Republican Club Is
ono OF the strongest colored organizations in
Brooklyn. Affiliated with 1t are o number of
smaller clubs. al. being under the leadership of
DIR. William r. Lawton. President OF the Kings
County Club. and II clerk in the District Attor.
ncy's office. Its most powerful rivals are tho
Henry Hyland Garnet Colored Association and
the, Tenth, Ward Colored Republican Club,
which are led by Charles L. Johnson, a clerk in
the Registers Office in Brooklyn. The feeling
between the organizations has been strained for
some time. The Johnson men don't like tho
idea or having Pr. Lawton for a leader, and tho
lawton men will not have Johnson.
nr. Lhwton presided and explained the OBJ
tccts OF the meeting. The colorcd vote in Brook.

Since then a great many colored families have
moved into tho city from New York. Flushing,
Jamaica ana other places. he said. and he had
no doubt that The colored vote would amount to
titled the colorcd people to some place on the
regular Republican ticket.
Ii was agreed that colored mon were entitled
to more than u paltry Office or two for their
share, in tho election. and that a place Oh the
list OF Asscmblymen or Aldermen was about tho

HORSES ON VACATIoNS.
Those or tho Boston Police Department Get
Two or Three Weeks Each.

BOSTON, Aug. 23.-The Police Commissioners
Of this city have decided that, inasmuch as the
horses In tho department bear their proportion
alto part Of the hard work, they as well as the men
shall have vacations in the summer. To that
end they have arranged that every horse shall
enjoy two. and in some instances three weeks
vacation. Three large pastures have been &C.
cured by the department, two in Brighton and
ono in Dorchester, and as soon as the horse
arrives its shoes arc taken off. and 1t is allowed
to roam ut will. coming into the stable only at
night The grass in the pastures. though Of
the best quality, is not the horses sole food;
at supper time the horses get the regular
measure Of grain. The animals seem to enjoy
their vacations immensely. and horses showing
plainly tae effect of their hard work in the de-
partment have been returned after their coun-
try sojourn vastly improved.
When it Is taken into consideration that tho
Police Department owns sevcnty.two horses. it
will be seen that the allowing OF vacations is u
considerable undertaking, even without the
item of expense, Ten years nso the department
dition to those in the well-traincd mounted
force. the department has about thirty horses
ton house in the city, with two exceptions, has
at least two horses, md where ambulnnces are
used three. Then the department has eleven
driving horses. which are used exclusively by
the Commissioners and the Superintendent.
The horses OF the mounted force are the best
that can be procured. and are, wonderfully in
t~elligent and active, and exhibitions by the
mounted force have become a very popular fea-
ture of the annual horse shows. The horses OF
the signal department also arc well trained,
and instances have been recorded where some OF
them have exhibited almost human intelligence:
1t is said. and sworn to by the drivers OF one OF
the downtown stations, that one of the horses
assigned to that station. knows perfectly the To-
cation Of the patrol boxes. and when the number
Of a box is struck on the Taper will go directly
to II without any guidance whatever.
The veteran OF the department is a horse at
tached TO the Lagrange street station, known as
Niger. This is a wonderfully intelligent ami.
NAL, and has been drawing a patrol wagon
ovcry day for nine years. and until this year has
never had a day off by reason of sickness or for
enjoying a three weeks vacation. and the driv.
ers who visit tho horse regularly every day say
that it Is enjoying every minute. The next old.
est Is a large bay that has been in service at the
Mount Pleasant station for eight years.
