Guessed He Would Plead Guilty.

II have no recollection of what happened,
and l guess I'd better plead guilty. This
was the statement made by Daniel ]. Burns,
about fifty years old, when he appeared in
the Police Court this morning to answer to
a charge Of assaulting Policeman Bateman,
who is In charge of the patrol wagon at
tached to the sixth precinct.
THE wagon was called to the corner of
1st and b streets northwest Saturday night
and We picked up this man, who was very
much under the influence of liquor" the Of
fcer explained to Judge Kimball. He be-
haved all right until l attempted to assist
him from the wagon at the station house;
then he resisted and made use of profanity
and on reaching the inside of the station
he struck me on the chin with his walking
stick.
DO you care to say anything?" the court
asked Burns.
II don't remember what happened and
don't know what to say" he answered.
Thirty dollars or three months" the
court remarked.
Another $50 gone up the spout, but
haven't got ii to pay" Burns exclaimed as
he walked to the rear Of the dock.

o'clock in the stable of William H. NARROW,
in rear of PIG A street southeast, when, be-
sides the damage caused to the building,
nine horses were suffocated. The proprietor
of the coal yard wasin the Office arranging
the weeks settlement with the men In his
employ, when Herbert Williams, one Of his
employees, entered and said the stable was
burning. The fire had started in the hay
loft, from some unknown cause, and some
Roadway was gained by the flames before
the arrival Of No. engine company. While
waiting for the firemen to arrive the men
about the yard did what little they could to
extinguish the flames and save the property.
Eight horses were saved, but it was impos-
sible to get the others out because Of the
intense heat and dense smoke. The mem
bers of No. 3 engine company remained
about the coal yard more than two hours.
They had the flames under control in few
minutes after reaching the stable, and pre-
vented damage to other buildings. Mr.. Mar
low estimates the damage at about $500.

Commissioners KNOW Of but One APP
plicant for Fire Department Chiefship.

pltcant Tor Fire Department Chlefsh1p.
The District Commissioners have been
much surprised during the past few days
to learn from articles printed in the news
papers that there area number Of appli-
cants from outside cities for the position of
chief engineer of the sDistrict fire depart
ment, the office which, Mr.. Dutton will va
cate July 1 next. Commissioner Macfar-
land, who has immediate supervision of the
fire department. ands who would naturally
be the recipient of any applications relating
to that service, stated today that he has
received no applications from outside the
city. Mr.. Charles EgMerillat, at present
In the water department, has applied for
the position on the strength of his former
service In the department as assistant chief
engineer under Chief Cronin, who was
Chief Paris predecessor. This application
was received shortly before noon today.
The Commissioners. it Is said, are not
disposed to deal with the matter at the
present time. Mr.. Mcfarland has urged
Chfef button to serve until July 1. when
the limitation placed upon the appropria-
ton for his office will require his retire.
ment. MI. button has promised to serve
until that time, provided nothing unfore-
seen shaH occur to upset present plans.
Commissioner mcfarland is known to be
strongly In favor Of civil service rules in
the District service. and acting upon that
principle, It Is said. he will unquestionably
nominate Senior Assistant Chief Engineer
William T. Belt for the Office of chief en-
gineer. unless there should be unlooked-for
developments to prevent such a course. The
idea of the Commissioners in going outside
the department to appoint Chief Dutton
was that Congress would agree to their
recommendation that the head of the de-
Partment should be designated superinten-
dent Chief Belt would. in that event, have
been promoted to chief engineer, the posi-
ton he now seems assured of.
The application of Mr.. Merillat is quite
NJ hat ,pfox boo
that he was member OF the department
for twenty years, having passed through
every grade from private to assistant chief
engineer, from which latter position he re-
signed the Sd of September, 1856, since
