THK POLICE WHAT THEY DO AND WIIAT THEY
SHOULD I>O—TREATMENT <>K DRUNK
EN MEN CORNER L'JA FIND —DISOR
DERLIES —CROWDS—PLACES OK
AMUSEMENTS, A<\
In our last we urged the necessby of an in
crease in and a re organizuion of the police
force, and it is our design in the present .arti
cle to give the most apparent reasons for such
a change, in as brief terms as possible.
There is no doubt but the councilman,
elected from time to lime by the people, have
performed their duty and passed wholesome
regulations and ordinances for the government
of the city. Hut as the police force is now
ore-anized it is next to impossible for the May
or to see that they are properly enforced. To
our mind every one of them should be strictly
carried out according to the letter of the law
As long as the furce is 60 small as at present,
and the police are either engaged in the search
for criminals, with the hope of making forty
cents by arresting one, and suvoniy-flve cents
more by taking him to jail, or in lounging
about the office, roasting about tbe stove in
winter, sleeping in the summer, this cannot be
done, and a change i< most desirable. With
an increased and well-organized polico many
evils could oe checked and nuisances abated,
lor, as we have before remarkod, a preventive
police is more important than a detective po
lice, and the mere presence of an officer in a
particular locality would frequently prevent
the perpetration of outrages and the infringe.,
ment of ordinances. If it is deemed advisa
ble (of which wei have grave doubts) to main
tain a “ shadow” system, let that also be dune,
but let us havesuch a force as will permit tbe
distribution of officers through the etiy for the
purposes designated.
A stranger visiting our city is always struck
by the number of people who congregate (espe
cially at night) upon the street corners, %nd
and would naturally suppose that there was ho
ordinance against corner loafing ; yet there is
an ordinance (see City Code, cb. xm. sec. 7)
which makes it tbe duty of polico officers to
apprehend all persons “ whom they may find
gathored together at the corners of the streets,”
and take them before tbe Mayor, who may
tine them from s.'s to $25 for o&cb offence.
True, an effort has recently been made to keep
the corner of Fifth and Smilhfleld dear, but
thero are other localities whore the evil is just
as great. Now, we do not say that this pro
vision could be enforced by our eight day
policemen, and therefore we should have more.
The same remarks will apply to crowds on
the sidewalk, in front of lager boor halls,
place« of public amusement. Ac. We have
seen Fifth street, and other thoroughfares, al
most impassible, from crowds of mon and hov*
congregating, obliging ladies and gentleman
to make & long detour to avoid them, and no
effort made lo remove the crowd. This should
not be so; these crowds should be dispersed at
once, so as to permit free locomotion through
the streets, without the unpleasant necessity ol
being--jostled by tbe -rode idlers who now so
frequently throng tbo streets.
Again, it should be the duty of tbe police
(without the dollar a night the proprietors
are now obliged to pay, at the risk of being
indicted for public nuisances in permitting
disorderly assemblages upon their premises) to
be present at all legitimate plhces of amuse
ment, to bo on tho look out for pickpockets,
who frequent such places* and for the purpose
of quieting alt disorder and keeping down dis*
turbances,which may occur in a moment. In no
city is this matter so much neglected as here. If
pent for and paid a police t fficer is detailed for
tho purpose named, but if any thing is trans
piring which demands tho presence of an offi
cer elsewhere, he is called away and the people
who pay Uut-s and have a right to expect pro
tection Irorn tbe police, are obliged to look out
for themselves in any emergency that may oc
cur.
Thera is another strong reason why the
perquisites now enjoyed by police (tlieers, in
the shape of fees for the arrest of drunken and
disorderly persons, whom they may lake “on
view” should be cut otr. It is generally con
ceded that drunkenness is not a crime of itself
and only becomes so from the excesses it in
duces. In nearly every other city, when a
man is found on the streets in a state of intox
ication, by day or night, be is, prov.d'd he is
not noisy, and can tell where his residence if,
directed, and frequently, wber. incapably of lo
comotion, conveyed home by the police, who
art? instructed not to arrest such persons unless
they become violent. Here this is Dot the
case, as tho temptation to make a fee is so
strong lbany slightly inebriated person,
however well disposed, may t-o conveyed to
the tombs and locked up until ho shall hccomo
duly sober. This, of course, is a risk that per
sons who drink to excess must incur, but if
police officers wero so situated that there would
be no inducement to arrest in such cases, the
individual would more frequently be conducted
to his home, and the city and county thus
saved the expense these indiscriminate arrests
of drunken persons entail. It would bo bet
ter for all concerned if the course adopted in
other oUie», even larger than this, should be
pursued here.
Then, too, the term “ disorderly persons,”
whom the police are also empowered to ar
rest on view, is very much abused. Wo have
known perfectly sober men, who wbiled away
time when passing through the streets at night
by singing a song, to be arrested by the night
watch and taken before the Mayor on a charge
of disorderly conduct. Abuses of this kind
should not be tolerated. They doubtless arise
from the loose construction placed upon “ dis
orderly conduct.” The duties of police offi
cers in this particular, whether tbeforce iscon
stiluted as at present or re organized, should
becleariy defined, and any infraction of the
rules punished by suspension or dismissal from
the service.
There are other abusos which might bo re
ferred to here, but we have said enough for the
present. We think there are additional reas.
ons for a reorganization of the police force and
an increase of the same, as it must be evident
to all who reflect upon the subject that the
present staff of officers employed by the city
cannot properly discharge the duties which
belong to their position, some of which appear
to have been entirely forgotten.
Sentenced.— On Saturday morning, in the
Court of Quarter Sessions, Judge Mellon de
livered an opinion in the case of Alexander
McConnell, convicted of wilfully and malU
cionsiy attempting to lire tho machineshops of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad Com
pany, in Manchester, argued on Saturday the
lab. It was to the effect that the case had
been properly tried in the Quarter Sessions;
and this being the only grouud of the applica
tion, the motion was overruled. McConnell's
counsel, Hon. P. C Shannon, made a touching
appeal to the court for leniency. The prisoner,
''-'Who is very youthful in appearance, was then
directed to stand up ; and Judge Mellon sen
tenced him to pay a fine of $lOO, and undergo
an imprisonment of two years in the Western
Penitentiary. During the delivery of the sen
tence McConnell appeared much affected, and
his eyes were suffused with tears.
Wscall attention to the card of Jas. W.
Craft, formerly of Beaver, now engaged in the

Inferences are of the beet character.

Miss Tennessee (Tallin, the ♦* Wonderful
Child.”—Her Dupes Complain—She ;is
Arrested and Exposed.
Most of our readers have seen, during tho
last threo months, flaming bills, announcing
that Miss Tennessee Clafiin, the “ Wonderful
Child,” only twelve years old, who was en
dowed with supernatural gifts, which enabled
her to cure diseases and tell where stolen < r
lost property could be found, could becomult
ed at the Scott or St. Clair Hotel. She had
among tho credulous many believers, somo of
whom employed her to point out rupposed
buried treasures, and the result was that Ten
nessee, who was backed by her father and
mother, put money in tho family purse. But
some, suffering from bodily diseases, who went
to the “ wonderful child ” to be made whole,
found, after weeks and months of patient
waiting, that their condition was not improv
ing, and made complaint against the Clafims,
father, mother and daughter, before the Mayor.
Finding some delicacy about making an infor
mation against them, that duty devolved upon
Chief of Felice Patterson, who brought a
charge agan.st the three, for unlawfully com
bining and conspiring to cheat and defraud the
public by advertising a “ natural clairvoyant ”
and hop “endowed with supernatural gifts in
the henl ng art,'' professing by this m -ans to
have periormed wonderful aid miraculous
cures, also with cheating and defrauding sun

and also to give directions for the recovery of
1 oht and stolid goods, &c.
