BOYS IN THE WAY.

On Wednesday Joe A. Sexton and
son were out in their automobile and
just as they were going up the hill
near Henry VOLTS store they saw
several boys getting their hats ready
to throw at the auto. Mr.. Sexton
blew the whistle for the boys to get
out of the way as they had placed
themselves directly in front of the
machine. They boys would not
bulge. Mr.. Sexton blew the whistle
the second time, but the boys were
just as daring at the first signal, SO
he was compelled TO almost stop the
machine so as to avoid running over
them. They then sent their hats fly
ing at the machine and when Mr..
Sexton stopped further up the road
his son discovered that one of the
hats had landed on the running step.

A SEVERE BLOW.
Get Rich Quick Scheme and City
EmnI0ves Ianse.

Get Rich Quick Scheme and City
Employees Lose.
A severe blow was dealt by Judge
Dickey, of the supreme court, in a
decision handed down by him last
week, to the get rich quick scheme
of several of the volunteer fire COM
panies in this borough, prior to dis
bandment last year, by admitting to
membership hundreds of city employ
es, who expected thereby to be pro-
tected under the civil service regula-
lions.
1t was rendered in the ease of Pat
rick H. Dalton, of No. 756 Bergen
street, Brooklyn, who brought suit
for reinstatement as bookkeeper in
the registrars Office on the ground
that he was protected by the civil
service regulations.
Dalton was elected a member of
Tompkins Hose Co., and continued
as an active member from July to
October, 1905, when the paid depart
ment service went into effect on Stat
en- Island. He had been appointed
in the Registers Office in January,
1904, and was discharged for politi-
cal reasons, the place not being in the
classified service.
In the evidence submitted at the
trial was an affidavit by Raymond v.
Ingersoll, in which he said that
James H. McAvoy, the secretary of
the company, told him that before
July there were only twenty-eight ac-
tive members, but that in July and
August 339 residents of other coun-
ties were admitted, the greater num-
Der being city employees. An admis-
sion fee of $14 was charged, with an
additional fee of so for a certificate
Nonresident members were obliged
to sign waivers to all claims to the
property and assets of the company
on d~isbandment. In addition a fine
of twenty-five cents was imposed for
every absence from a fire when an
alarm was sent in, and considerable
money was obtained from non-resi-
dent members in that way.
Judge Dickey handed down a de-
cision against Dalton, which, II sus-
tanned by a higher court, will de-
prive the nonresident members of
the civil service protection, which
they believed they had secured by
joining volunteer companies on Stat
Island.
