The above named members of the Police - Department will be placed on the retired list at the next meeting of the Pension Commissioners.. The Com- missioners will hold th regular quar- terly meeting on next Monday, when the men whose names are. on~ the “slate” ‘will be asked to resign. They | will thén be placed on the retired list and allowed to draw the pensions al-'| lowed them by the Legislature. | Ameong those who will be retir2d the | best known, probably, -is Sergeant Shields. He has been a member of the Police-Department for over twenty years, and .is held in high esteem by | Chief L and -the members of ‘the commission... For a long time he-acted as patrol sergeant, and made a brii- liant record. - As old age began to tell on him he'was transforred to.the City Prison, where he acted as booking ser- | geant. eral months ‘ago Captain | Robinson,:who has.charge of the City Prison, preferred charges against hira on the und that he w unable to-attend to his duties. . He was tried by the Police Commissioners and acquitted. = As it was apparent] that there was a feeling éxisting. bes tween Shields and the captain of the | prison, the Commissioners decided . to transfer the former to the North End station, where he has béen doing duty | s physically | | | ever since. It is understood that he has requested the Commissioners. to add his name to the pension list. Ser- geant Martin has been a member of the | department for a long number of years. He is at present acting as hack in- | spector. -~ Always courteous and kind, he has endeared himself to évery mem- ber of the department, and it will be with regret that they learn of th= Com- missioners’ intention to rétire him. Ma tin is over 60 years .of egé, and bea an excellent reputation as a police ser- | geant. - He will, in all probability, be succeeded by Owen Gorman, who for a number of years has: served ths de- partment in the capacity of assistant hack inspector. -Gorman now ranks as corporal of police. Sergeant Fitzgerald, the next on the list, is well known on the water. front, where he has’been stationéd for a num- ber of years.. He, too, is' well thought of by the Policé Commissioners, but on account of “his adyvanced ‘years they have concluded to-dispense with ‘his services. Policeman McNulty. has been on the force for nearly twenty-one years. Re- cently his eyesight has bécome impair- ed, and he has been unable to do police Policeman the O'Farrell- street Shortly after theé opening of the new station, which was. about a: yéar ago, he was taken ‘to’ his bed,: and has been con- station. fined there ever since, . Like McNulty, he:is ‘anxious to be retired on a pen- sion. Patrolman: Ennis is connected with Captain. Spillane’s - division. He has been incapacitated for some time, and whH1 :hail ‘with: delight his retirement, as ‘he. -momentarily - feared that his name . wotuld be’dropped from the roll on aceount of sickness. It. was first .intended ‘to ‘make some changes .in the detective department. but ‘fer some reason the plan failed. Chief 1eées, it is understood, is anxious to:-reorganize “the. department, but in order. 10 -do’ this; it would be necessary to reduce’ (o the ranks several: detect- jives. who' in past years did. excellent work. - The Chief is opposed to return- ing -them’ to the:fanks; and in. obedi- ence to his’ wishes.the. Commissioners have decided: to-keep their hands off the detective department, so to. speak. There is a yacancy ‘in the detective department, c¢aused by the promotion of Captain Bohen, wHich, it is expected, will be filled -at the .meeting of the Commissioners on- Monday night.

Howard R. McNichol, an agent for the J. S. Kimball Steamer Company, Mission-street pier 2, was run down and seriously injured by Mission- street electric car 1165 at 8:30 o’clock last evening. Mr. McNichol, who lives at 201 Eleventh street, was returning home, and had just stepped from the outgoing car when the incoming car struck him, and he was forcibly thrown to the pavement and rolled for several feet. Frank Behan, the motor- man, stopped the car as soon as pos- sible and the unfortunate man was drawn from beneath the wheels and removed to the Receiving Hospital, where his hurts were dressed by Dr. Fitzgibbon. en examined at the hospital it was discovered that he had sustained a severe wound on the right groin, as well as several abrasions of the back and scalp. His wounds are supposed | to be fatal. J."R. Shoc a bookkeeper for Kimball, who lives in the same house with the injured n, identified him as the agent for his company. E. Trelut, the conductor of the car, was under the impression that it was an unavoidable accident. SRR e, W. H. GAGAN LAID TO REST. Last Rites Over the Well-Known Buiness Man. The funeral of the late William H. Gagan took place - yesterday morning | from St. Peter’s Church on Twenty- fourth street. "The casket was bcrne friends of the deceased—ex-Judge Sul- livan, William -~ T. Wiltz, James. ‘H.| Barry, Sheriff Whelan -and A. B. Ma- | guire. It was placed on a catafalque | during the ceremonies. Solemn high requiem mass was held at 10._o'clock. Rev. Father Mulligan: ‘of St. " Mary's Cathedral acted as celebrant, assisted by Rev. Father Cummins, as deacon; Father Morrison, - as - sub-deacon; Father - C master of ceremonies, nd Father McGinty, as assistant. Two acolytes were also in the nectuary. After. the services were performed e e the body was removed to: Holy Cross Cemetery, ‘where, with: a few prayers by Rev. Father Mulligan, the remains were Jlowered. into the . grave.. The i ere attended by many of the friends, who - followed. the [E JUDGE Richard Linehan Addresses the Flowing Whiskers of ! Campbell. But He Makes the Error of Doing It in | the Court of Judge Cook. Judge Campbell's: whiskers got tan- | gled in court machinery yesterday, and | the wheels of justice came to an instant | stop, for the nonce hopelessly clogged. The incidént occurred ~as Superior Judge Cook was weighing the merits of a little row between Police. Judges Campbell and Low, and projected it- self into the situation through a hole in the skylight. Richard Linehan was responsible. - He was arrested, fined $10, the fine being remitted, and the pen- alty of listéning to a lecture from the bench substituted. Whether Linehan gained or lost by thig change is a deli- | cate matter, which forms no part of this story. The clogging hereinbefore mentioned happened in thuswise: Proceedings had up to a certain point been conducted with seemly dignity, when suddenly a voice from above called out, “How are you, whiskers? All eyes were turned | to the ceiling; and everybody knew that | the Campbell jungle of beard’ was the | innocent cause of more trouble.. Then followed the arrest and lecture and a promise. from Linehan not to do.it again;- - But if he doesn't somebody will, for there are temptations not to be resisted. At last the ‘wheels were unclogged and business resumed, but for the rest of the day Judge Campbell wore a puz- zled expression.. He cannot under- stand.-why peace ‘and dignity so. often get the worst of it when they come in contact with his whiskers, to him not alone an ornament but .a scarf, a badge of office, a pride and endless joy. The case at bar was the habeas cor- pus matter of Sydney: Kellett. It was | submitted - after considerable argu- | ment, ‘and early in the afternoon an opinion was filed. Judge Cook held that after " conviction the magistrate con- on_bail.. This opinion makes void the order issued by Judge Campbell for the ralease of Kellétt pending the outcome | of his appeal, as he was convicted be- fore Judge Low, and that magistrate alone can accept bonds.for his release, or it may be doné by some Judge of a court. After the filing: of the opinion Attornéy Mack, who represented Kel- lett, stated that he would appeal to the | Supreme Court for -a writ of habeas corpus. ————— Low's Horehound' Cough Syrup for THE TERRIER SOUGHT A BED Dentist Pulled a Tooth and the Jaw Tried to Follow. Dr. Mulligan’s Pet Patient Could Not Greet the Glad New Year. Now the Bone Is in a Plaster Cast and the Sufferer Must Not Be Troubled by Noise. Knock gently, do not ring; 1y no means raise a row, Though Skippy isn't dead’ He's in his little bed, A wreck, just now. Out at Larkin and Sacramento streets, where Dr. Mulligan lives, there | is a little sufferer with an aching’ jaw He did not even | done up in plaster. greet the glad new year with a ki-yi. He couldn’t in the first place, and he did not feel like it in the second. To this sufferer hangs a tale; also a tall, the latter of - comparatively little im- portance. As to the patient’s name be- ing Skippy, that is mere supposition on up to by the prose artist. Skippy is a Scotch terrier of respecta- ble lineage, a pet in the Mulligan fam- | the part of the poet, ‘and shall be lived | two pieces. This is what ails him now. Nothing known to medical science is too good for Skippy since. Indeed, the patient intimates that nothing is _quite good enough; but his judgment is be- lieved to have been yanked bias during the dental operation. At present his pulse is normal and his temperature not such as to excite alarm. He is re- ceiving every possible attention, and some that people not wrapped up in love for ancient Scotch terriers might not have deemed possible. That he may not be disturbed request has been posted up for people to not knock, but walk right in. This was told the poet, but he failed to catch the idea. Dr. J. J. Leek disclaims having used any unnecessary force in separat- ing Skippy from his troublesome biters, and expresses a doubt that the jaw was | broken. His theory seems to be that Skippy has a pessimistic disposition, and is making too much fuss over an experience likely to come to any man. Unless there should be a sudden change for the worse on the part of Skippy there is nothing more to tell, and the narrative will be rounded off by the first stanza of a beautiful and PAINLESS DENTISTRY P OuR SPECIALY Y. ily. fully, and for many years he has been the sunshine of the household.
