boom into the camp of the police OF

an order changing every precinct on

end OF the island in the exception of one
in Tottenville a mounted one. At pre-
sent there are more than four hundred
foot policemen in the four precincts on
the island. Many of the men cannot ride
a horse, which will mean that they will
be sent to other precincts within the
greater. At present there are twenty
one patrolmen at the 90 precinct sta
ton, Tottenville. The seth precinct
station, New Dorp, is the only precinct

direction of the sound at the foot of
Amboy avenue, ~Tottenville, startled
that place about 10 O'Clock last night
and brought several patrolmer from
their beats and nearly a hundred peo-
pie to the sheer to see what the trou-
bic was about. At first it was believed
that a man was overheard and was
calling for help, but a search along
shore failed to locate anyone. A Penn.
sylvania railroad tow, bound for New

thought a man on that was using a
megaphone, which he was talking to
another boat with. The sound could
be heard in the upper part of the town
