Special Policeman Swift of the Bel
vedere was deprived of his pistol and
star early yesterday morning by Pa
trolman Sam Orr for assaulting Captain
Sullivan Of Engine Company No. IL.
Swift will have TO answer to the Police
Commissioners for his conduct.
According to Sullivan, he and the
other members of his company were in
the engine house on O'Farrel street,
near Grant avenue, having left their
own quarters on account of a second
alarm for a fire ON Market street.
While waiting for the men who oc-
cupy the O'Farrell street engine house
to return Swift entered the place in
full uniform and proceeded to unroll
the tape, which registers the different
alarms of fire. Sullivan ordered him
to desist. whereupon Swift, so the fire
captain states. struck him in the face.
Policeman Orr, who was passing at the
time, promptly seized Swift and, after
hearing Sullivan's story OF the assault,

Swift defends his attack on Sullivan
by saying that he walked into the en-
gine house to ascertain where the fire
was, when Sullivan ordered him out.
Thinking that he had a right to know
he claims he refused to leave. when
Sullivan attempted to eject him. 1t
was then that he struck the captain.

waterproofng Fine Dress Goods.

One OF the most important pro-
cesses now used for waterproofng
dress materials is on the lines OF the
old alumina process. In this case the
factor used is resin, dissolved in a
large bulk of petroleum spirit. The
fabrics to be proofed are passed
through a bath of this solution and
dried to drive off the solvent. Fol-
lowing this, the goods are treated by
pressing with hot polished metal roll
ers. This last process melts the small
quantity of resin which Is deposited
on the cloth and leaves each single
fiber with an exceedingly thin film os
resin on it.-New York Tribune.
