COLLECTION OF CURIOS.
It Is in Charge Of Reese Jones, the
Desk Sergeant at Centre Street
Police Station.

Many and wonderful are the tales
that old Centre street police station
could tell had the walls tongues as well
as the proverbal ears ascribed them.
Tales of darkness and gloom they
would be for the most part, of squalor
and misery, but still they would also
tell stories replete with odd and
humorous doings.
The place itself Is rich in relics and
remembrances Of former escapades
and happenings. While most Of the
souvenirs captured from prisoners such
as knives. dirks, pistols. etc., are re-
moved to headquarters, where they are
placed in a cabinet. form as unique a
collection of curios as anyone would
well desire. still many Of the smaller
articles are kept In the Centre street
station and It ia Of a few of them as
shown, and the facts connected with
them, explained by Sergeant Reese
Jones, that this article deals.
While none of them are connected
with any serious affairs, still most of
them are marked in some way or
other. One Of them Is the big clock
which hangs on the wall and which
was taken from a suspicious character
arrested some years ago, who was
roaming around in torn, ragged raim-
ent seemingly destitute of all worldly
possessions, and yet with this really
valuable timepiece under his arm. In
police court he could not account for
the possession of 1t and 1t was confis-
Gated.
Another curio is q small revolver
| which was taken from a noisy small
boy who was unfortunately shooting
it off in the street. and who almost
| went into commissions of fear when a
| solid looking policeman laid his hand
on his shoulder and confscated the
| weapon. 1t Is almost Of the toy pistol
| variety as regards appearance, but
nevertheless makes quite formidable
engine when loaded
A chisel. taken by Detective
Jack" Moir, from a burglar
who robbed the safe at the st. Denis
hotel some time ago. is another little
souvenir. 1t is a heavy piece of STEEL
made out of the tongue of wagon
spring and possesses a power that
hardly any window sill could resist.
Another 1s-inch chisel is saved which
was found on lower I.ackawanna ave.
nue. by Patrolman Collins, and with
which an unknown man was attempt
ing to force the lock Of the door Of one
of the houses.
A small gold cuff button IL present
as another relic, which was found in a
bloody cuff worn by a prisoner brought
in on the charge Of fighting, and
which he has never returned to claim
Likewise a watch chain found after the
fog Of battle had cleared away ir
which two drunken Hungarians wert
engaged, has never been reclaimed.
Nearly all of these articles are con-
fined somewhere in the sergeant's
desk hut in the cellar there is con
fined a mass Of articles ranging all tht
way from miners lamps to a wheel
barrow in which brass thieves were
carrying off their plunder.
The top of a poker table, all that re
mains of that article of furniture which
was confiscated some time ago in s
raid on gambling houses, Is anothe
memento of police prowess and help
to make up this very incongruous col
lection.
