Seven months ogo he was married to
an unusually handsome woman and on
their wedding day he assaulted his
bride. At that time the law laid its
hand liiion him. Tuesday night ho
again beat his wife nud the police were
summoned to the Slanger home. Mrs.
Slanger again caused a warrant to be
Issued for her husband's arrest.
When he constabh-s arrived at the
house Slanger had disanpeared and It
was while eluding the ofiicers that his
cruelty was avenged In another way.
Wednesday morning a relative of
Slanger called at Alderman Blair's of
fice and furnished bail In the sum of

IT WAS ELEVEN TO TEN
Mayor's Appointments as Given in
the Triubne Confirmed Last Night.
HICKCY HAD A TIGHT SQUEEZE
Robltag and Taylor and Peter Hoatcrty
Named aa Pairolmon-Colii Blooded
Dismissal of McUale, Culomoa
and Lewis.
Aa foreshadowed In The Tribune yes
terday morning May r Halley last night
named the two- candidates for chlef-of
police, Frank R. Knbllng and Joseph
Taylor, as patrolmen, Peter Husgerty.
of the- Twentieth ward, also as a pa
trolman, and P. J. Hu key as chief of
the Hie department.
The dismissals sent In were Patrol
men John K. McHnle, James II. Cole
man and Thomas V. Lewis. Council
cenftrmed the ma.vor's action In every
instance, although Hit-key's apjioint
mcnt was approved by the narrow mar
gin of one vole, Mr. Williams, cf tho
Fifth ward, coming to his rescue when
defeat stared him !n the face.
AfteY It was Bon that the adminis
tration had the necessary eleven votes,
the balloting was carried on In a care
less manner, some of the Republican
members voting contrary to their ex
pressed convictions, cither through
Ignorance of the exact nature of the
motion or In a sort of "its-themselves
-thnt's-ln-it" spirit.
All members answered roll call and
the biggest crowd that ever packed the
council chamber was there. Kvery
avnilablc inch of space in the gallery
and on the lloor was occluded and a
big crowd out in the corridor kept fight
ing with Janitor John Marshall for ad
mission through the members' enttance.
At one time there was a concerted rush
against this guarded portal and Mar
shall was nearly sent o.V his feet.
Chairman Sanderson jumiied from his
i hair and rushed to the assistance of
the door tender. The crowd was awed
by the chairman's stentorian tones and
censed the crushing. Thin the door
was closed and only opened when mem
bers wanted to come in or go out until
after the excitement was ovtr. Among
tlie prominent men noticed In the
throng of spectators were Alderman .
U. Wright. R. T. Hlack. A. P. Bedford,
(ieorge S. Horn, John J. Durkln. C. C.
Donoven. t Comtgys. Joseoh O'Brien.

land. Thtre was u session of common
council on In the other chamber, but
the members spent most of the time
In the select council's chamber, only
returning when Chairman Grler would
send out to bring in four or five of them
to make a quorum.
THOSE FIVE ENVELOPF.S.
While Clerk Lavelle was reading the
minutes. Secretary Beamish entered
with live envelopes In his hand and de
posited them on the clerk's desk. The
little stir and buzz of whispered con
versation which followed this was the
only token of Interest given by the
spectators during the three orders of
business which precede "communica
tions from the mayor and other heads
of departments."
This order having been reached Clerk
Lavelle laid open the first envelope ami
read the appointment of P. J. Hlckey
to succeed H. P. Ferber as chief of the
lire department. Mr. McAndrew, the
member from the Twenty-first ward,
mnved to refer the nomination to the
fire department committee with In
structions to report forthwith. Mr.
Chittenden jumped to his feet with an
objection, raising the point of order
that this would be equivalent to a sus
pension of the rules and required a
two-thirds vote.
The rule on the reception of appoint
ments Is that they shall go to commit
tee unless a two-thirds vote favors im
mediate consideration. Mr. McAn
drew's motion was a clever one to se
cure Immediate consideration on a ma
jority vote, by taking advantage of tiio
inadequacy of the rules. Mr. Manley
and Mr. Roche contended that while It
was true It required a two-thirds vote
to prevent th nomination from going
to committee there was nothing in the
rules to prohibit council from directing
by a majority vote a committee to re
port forthwith.
Chairman Sanderson looked up the
rules but failed to And anything direct
ly covering the point. He stated, how
ever, that he had a hand in framing the
rules and it was his belief that the In
tent of the rule In question was mani
festly to give a committee adequate
time for the consideration of an ap
pointment and to do away with haste
in the matter. If the motion of the gen
tleman from the Twenty-first should
prevail, he said, it would nullify the In
tent of the rule, therefore he would
have to decide the point of order well
taken and declare the motion out of
order.
APPEALED FROM DECISION.
Messrs. McCann and Kearney ap
pealed from the decision of the chair.
Mr. Roche said he was surprised at
the action of the chnirman. A com
mittee, he at gucd, can report at any
time. The chair very sarcastically re
marked that it regretted having occa
sioned Mr. Roche any surprise and add
ed that the only matter before- the
house was the appeal.
The motion was then put "shall the
decision of the chair stand notwith
standing the appeal," and It was decid
ed In the negative by the following
vote:
Ayes Ross, Finn, Thomas, Durr,
Chittenden, Wagner, Fellows, Schroe
der, Lansing 0.
Nays Kearney, Williams, Clarke,
Roche. Robinson. Manley, McCann,
Burns, Frable, Coyne, McAndrew 11.
The original motion to refer the ap
pointment to committee with Instruc
tions to report forthwith was then put
und carried:
Ayes Kearney, Williams, Clarke,
Roche, Robinson, Manley, McCann,
Burns, Frable, Coyne, McAndrew 11.
Nays Ross. Finn, Thomas, Durr,
Chittenden, Wagner, Fellows, Schroe
dor, Lansing, Sunderson 10.
The lire department committee,
Messrs. Durr, Finn, Fellows, Burns
and Frnble retired, and after an ab
sence of about twenty minutes, re
turned with two reports. The majority
report, signed by Messrs. Durr, Finn
nnd Fellows, merely reported progress
it being the belief of the signers that
an Investigation should be made of Mr.
Hlckey's eligibility under the law.
Mr. Chittenden moved to ni.opt this
report and Mr. MeCnnn moved to- lay
the motion on the table. Mr. MeCami,
however, withdrew his motion and Mr.

Chittenden's motion went before- the
house. The same eleven nays and ten
ayes defeated it.
The minority report of Messrs. Frable
und Burns favoring the confirmation
of Hickev was then adopted, the divis
ion being the same as In the previous
roll calls.
Mr. Williams .when his name was
called, arose to explain his vote. "When
this mayor van el-ted." he said. "I
was against him, and if I could have
prevented it h would not have been
mayor. However, it is his duty to look
Into tb snnointfpents and taking it for
granted that he is resixmsible for Mr.
Hlckey I vote yes."
APPLAUSE FROM GALLERY.
A round of applause from the gallery
and ticor greeted the siieech and par
ticularly tho vote. When the announce
ment was made that Hickcy was ccn
firmed thfre.was another and louder
burst r.t aiolause, which rlltd Chair
man Sanderson to such a derive thnt
he brc ke h!3 gavrl w ith his vehement
rappirg f,- order. When quiet had
been res-toreri he turned around to a
group cf cemmrn coiincllmen who wi-re
among :he most bolstrous of the ap
plaudcrs nnd remarked: "This la the
w led councM; cot the common coun
cil." The next name to come up was that
of Patrolman Thomas V. Lewis, who,
according to h mayor's communlciii
tlon, was dismissed "for cause." Tho
votf to sustain the mayor's action was
as follows:
Ayes Ross. Kearney, Clarke, Rm'he,
Robinson, Manley, McCann. Bums,
Frable. Coyne. McAndrews, Sanderson
12.
Nays Finn, Thomas, Williams. Durr.
Chittenden, Wagner, Fellows, Schoeder,
Ijinslng . ,
Mr. Fellows' sunmirt of trf-wis caused
no little comment after the- meeting,
and man? favorable remarks on this
action was heard. The next victim was
Patrolman James E. McHale. also dis
missed "for cause."
Mr. Chittenden moved to have the
dismissal referred to committee to as-i-ertaln
the "cause" and rvport to coun
cil. Ills motion go six votes:
AyesRoss, Ourr. Chittenden, Wag-,-lier.
Fellows, Lansing 6. f
Nays Finn, Kearney. Thomas, WIU
Hams. Clarke, Roche. Robinson. Man-!
ley, McCann. Scbroeder, Burns, Frable, '
Coyne. McAndrew. Sanderson 15.
His dismissal was then concurred lit
by a viva voce vote.
James H. Coleman, "for cause," was
the next to get the ux. Messrs. Durr,
Chittenden, Fellows and Lansing were
the only ones who took the trouble to
object.
Then came the nomination of Peter
Haggerty to succeed Patrolman Cole
man. A motion to refer the apisilnt
ment to the police committee with In
structions to report forthwith was car
lied by a vote of 14 ayes, 7 nays.
Ayes Ross, Kearney, Clarke, Roche,
Chittenden. Wagner. Robinson, Man

The nominations of Frank R. Robllns
In rilnee of Thomas V. Lewis nnd Jo
seph Taylor In place of John E. McHale
were also read and referred with Hag
gerty's to the police committee.
Mesrs. Coyne, Lansing, Finn, McAn
drew and Wagner, who compose this
committee, retired and after a ten min
utes absence returned with a favorable
report on all three nominations.
Messrs. Lansing and Finn did not sign
the report.
All three were then confirmed by a vi
va voce vote and the crowd retired,
leaving the city fathers to take up the
dry routine of business.
HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
That Patrolman Islah F. Jones was
not among last night's victims was
somtwhat of a surprise to those who
were aware of the pre-arranged pro
gramme. Jones was slated for dismis
sal and a man said to be John C. Roche,
of the Seventh ward, was selected for
his place. Yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Patrolman Joseph Block was
sent down to the corner of Spruce street
and Washington avenue with instruc
tions to relieve Jones, who was doing
duty there and order him to report at
headquarters. Jones went to headquar
ters and there learned that he was
wanted upstairs In the mayor's office.
Just what happened Is not a njatter
of record, but Jones did not receive a
request for his resignation, like Mc
Hale, Lew's and Coleman, who had
been called up previously. Rumor had
It that "Babe," as he Is familiarly
called, was not the man whose scalp
was wanted. They had made a mis
take In the "Jones," there being four of
them on the force. Later It developed
that this rumor was Incorrect; that
Islah F. was the Intended victim, but
he secured a resnlte through the Influ
ence of a friend, who had not been
counted on by the powers-that-be.
When James Coleman was called up
he refused to resign telling the mayor
that he had been on the force scarcely
long enough to pay for his equipment.
Tom Lewis simply felt that he was
well pleased with his position of patrol
man and could not willingly give It up.
TRIBUNE WAS RIGHT.
Ex-Patrolman McHale met Mayor
Ballev on the street yesterday and
asked him If it was true aa The Tri
bune stated that ho was to be dismissed.
The mayor told him that The Tribune
spoke aright. .
To a further Inquiry as to the cause
of his dismissal the mayor did not hesi
tate to tell him that It was because he
had worked against him when a candi
date for sheriff and again at the last
election.
None -of the dismissed men were on
duty last night.
FLANACHAS'S KAZ0H.
It Co roe Very Near Being an Instrument
of Mm dor.
While under the Influence of liquor
Daniel Flannghan, of Putnam street,
slashed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Duffy,
with a razor yesterday and Inflicted nn
ugly gash above the left eye. His furi
ous attack was Interrupted by neigh
bors, and he was stopped from prob
able murder.
Wednesday was pay day and he got
riotously drunk. Yesterday he began
abusing and assaulting his wife. Her
screams were heard by Mrs. Duffy, and
she determined to come to her sister's
rescue. Flamfghan saw her coming.
He waited until she put her head Into
the house, then he closed the dour nnd
succeeded In getting her pilloried: ht'r
head was inside and the rert of her
body was outside. In that position he
held her and drew a razor from his
pocket, making use of it as viciously
as he could.
She got loose and ran away, but he
had not satiated himself and he fol
lowed. Then it was that he was
stopped from carrying out his designs.
He was arreuted by Patrolman Hawks
and Constable Bernard Davis, and In
default of ball Alderman Roberts com
mitted him to the county Jail.

eral's report was published. It Includ
ed the ratings for rifle practice and th'
figures showed that the Thirteenth had
fallen behind in this branch of their
military training. The figures as they
appeared were not accepted as facts by
Colonel H. A. Coursen.
FOUND A MISTAKE.
He was averse to believing that the
regiment could receive in ritle practice
such a poor mark that It would lower
the general average nnd throw the reg
iment from first to second place. So
he decided to make an, Investigation.
After a tedious search through tho rec
ords he found an error In the r-!Krt
of Inspector General Edward Morell, of
Philadelphia. Mr. Morell had not cred
ited either Company A or Company (1
with their Just averages. It was a
mathematical mistake, done Inadvert
ently, and, of course, was not Intention
al The big drop In the averages is
what made Colonel Coursen doubt the
figures and Impelled him to verify them.
He communicated his discovery to
Adjutant General Stewart und waited
for an order correcting the error. Not
having received any after waiting five
weeks he went to Harrisburg Wednes
day to Inquire Into the silence of the
department on such an Important mut
ter. For an answer he was handed a copy
of general order No. it. Issued May 5.
Section VI of the order read as follows:
"The Inspector general reports the cor
rection of an error In computing the
general average and figure of elllclency
of the Thirteenth Regiment Infantry.
The figure of erllclency of Company A
should read 96.49; and the general aver
age and figure of elllclency of Company
(1 should each be 92.80. These correc
tions will make the gpneral average
and figure of erllclency of the Thirteenth
regiment 94.06 instead of 92.81 as pub
lished." GIVES IT FIRST PLACE.
Tho correction of the error, while it
throws the regiment Into first place,
lowers Company D from first to second.
It was first in the state until the cor
rect average of Company A was esti
mated and credited.
Colonel Coursen intends to address a
letter of congratulation to the boys of
A and the members of the regiment In
general in a few days.
