Slevin waa fifty-one years old. Slevin was born June 15, 1844, and left his business ag car man to join the police force on March 28, 1806. In August, 1873, Slevin was made ward detective in’ the ‘Fifteenth Precinct, and served with distinction, tracking many thieves, against whom he always suc- ceeded in proving @ case In court. He was of powerful frame, phenomenal endurance, patience and tact. Perhaps no member of the force was more dread- ed by wrong-doers, He had earned an enviable reputation as a detective when, ‘on Oct, 27, 1878, the city was astounded by the robbery of the Manhattan Sav- Ings Inatitutton, on Rroadway and Bleecker street, ‘The robbery was com- mitted within ‘the Fifteenth Precinct, of which Capt. Byrnes, now Superin: tendent, was in command. Capt. Byrnes asstimed the task of ferreting out the thieves, and selected Slevin, Lis favorite ward man, as chief alde. “For months the mystery only deepened, but to Slevin's skill and per- weverancée are justly due much of the credit for runiing down the chief of the robbers, Jimmie Hope, as well as others of the gang. When Byrnes took command of the Detective Burean he carried Slevin along. and soon made him a detective- sergeant. Inspector Byrnes advocated Slevin's ‘further promotion, until June 18, 1887, he was made captain and given command of the Delancey street station, He remained there several years, when he was transferred to the Church str station In 1892, when Byrnes was made perintendent, all Gaptaing were tran ferred. In the shake-up Slevin was as- signed to the Oak street station, of which he was In command when he tied, About ght months ago charges were made by agents of the Parkhurst Soctety te the Police Board that Capt.

Hence his request for alittle color, A request of that sort is equiv- alent to a command, Orders for flow- ers and carriages were countermanded, the Opera-House was only two-thirds filled, ard a glum and disconsolate dado of gold-laced and epauletted soldiers and gallos frescoed the White House par- ors. It is understood that the President entered fully into the grim humor of the situation, and during the intervals of handshaking inquired particularly after certain bright particular ‘ights of the Army and Navy social circle.
