MILES O'REILLY AND HIS CAREER. THE NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE. FULTON, DITI Remarkable work was effective as ever, and he shut up the few gambling houses that existed there. Later lie was transferred to the Hutler street station, which has been greatly improved since he assumed charge. When he was assigned there it was a no-tnrlutis fart that -unwilling and several houses of ill fume were open.

When the captain heard of these places they wire quickly suppressed, and the proprie tors arrested. At the fiTrnTrriTnie it is one nf the cleanest precincts in this city. The water front about Gowanus Canal was formerly the inecca for thieves. It was extremely dangerous for anyone to pass by there in the nighL The captain cleared out the gang of thieves and many of its incin-lieiK are guests in our jails. Captain O'Reilly showed bis true met thus a captain in the Adunix street slalinn.

In that place he did some great police duly. Not only did he clear the precinct of dis-repulnlile houses, but ho closed up dance halls where young girls were being ruiucd and almost innumerable gambling dens. Iiveiy night almost, he was making a raid of one kind or another. He bad several murders to handle in this precinct, and he his services were accepted. That was in April, IHljl, nnd a' few months later the regiment, which had ten full companies, was mustered iu at Washington.

O'Reilly was a member of Company in which Henry Ward Beecher's son was a lieutenant. The captain had most novel experiment as a soldier. He fought under Grant, Sheridan, McClellan and Burnside. He fought at Fredericksburg, siege of York-town, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Gavin's Mills, Savage Station, Turkey Bend, Malvern Hill, Chantilly, Antietam, Sharps-liurg, Williamsport. Fredericksburg second battle.

May's Heights, Sailana Heights, Renks Ford. Gettysburg, Rappahannock, Mine Run. When Captain O'Reilly's term of service expired he had himself transferred to the Third New York Independent Battery. Then he fought under Grant at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Gold Harbor, Petersburg, Winchester, Cedar Creek, to where Sheridan mad" his famous ride, and was at Appomattox, where Lee surrendered.

(Flnt Fkwr, Ontr.) hi My H0 1 Work on the Approach on This Side Will Be Begun Shortly. RENEWED ACTIVITY PROMISED. Rapid Work Is Being Done on the Span Between the Anchorage and the Tower What Is Being Done and Remains to Be Undertaken, Now that the condemnation cnuinilssion-ers fur the Brooklyn side of River bridge have been named iLin nil! prubr nbly be" renewed activity in the matter of pushing the bridge toward completion.

Although the year 1902 is being looked upon as the time for the finish, persons well versed in bridge affairs do not believe that the structure will be completed by that time. Rapid work, however, is being done on tho steel span between the anchorage and the tower and already many buildings in the line of the new bridge are being torn down, The contract for the approach on both sides of the river," said an official of the new East River bridge to a "Citizen" reporter, "were executed on the 15th inst. The $500,000 worth of bonds sold by the Controller on Tuesday will leave sufficient money in his hands to meet the cost of construction of that approach. The Pennsylvania Steel Company, which has the contract, has already completed plans for Brooklyn approach and has announced that it is prepared to push the work of manufacture of the material necessary at their shops in Pennsylvania. "It now looks as if the approach on the Brooklyn side would be pushed with con-siderable'vigor, partly because the commissioners have already purchased considerable property upon the land which will be used for this approach, and because the, condemnation commissioners on this side of the river have been appointed and are already at work.

Their first meeting was held Monday for the prosecution of this particular part of bridge building. So far as I can learn the condemnation commissioners are going to hold three or four meetings every week. "The Brooklyn approach involves the manufacture and erection of 6,000 tons of sfeel and masonry and other work, which will probably cost from $200,000 to Under the laws respecting condemnation the Commissioners-eannot take pes cession of the land for the Brooklyn approach until March, 1001. At that time they will take possession of this property and sell and remove the buildings located upon it in order to provide for the work-of construction. "The Brooklyn approach begins at the anchorage and terminates at South Fifth street, about 250 feet east of The first of the roller beds to receive the saddle was erected and placed In position on Monday.

It weighs fully thirty tons and was the heaviest single piece erected on the bridge. It was hoisted to the top of the tower by derricks specially designed for this purpose. The New York approach begins at the New Yort anchorage and terminates on the westerly side of Clinton street. "The application for condemnation com-misioners was heard on October IS, but the Commissioners of Estimate have not as yet been appointed for the other side of the river. On this account there will be some delay in securing property on the Manhattan side, a condition which will not be experienced over here." The official stated that the local Commissioners were Exra P.

GAMBLERS SHUN HIS PRECINCT. Cleared Many Neighborhood! of the City of Gang! of Ruffians and 'Bobbers Known to Be Fearless in the Pursuit of His Duty. That Cnplnin Miles O'Ucilly, of tin- Rut-ler Street Slalinn, in olio or the must energetic and ctlicjcnt police ollicers in this Borough lias been satisfactorily proven ninny a time. It is well knmvn fact that lie is dreaded by evil-doers of all sorts and kinds. Guinhlcrs especially have a particular but natural dislike for him, and the Captain has the same feeling for them, not for personal reasons, hut bemuse of the contemptible methods they havo of d-fnimlillf; their eustoniers.

Captain O'ltcilly in his experience as an oflicer lias had to deal with some of the toughest and most desperate criminals that ever iufested this city. At the time of his appointment ns a patrolman, April 10, 1S74, certain parts of Brooklyn were dangerous for cilizens to pass through. This was particularly true of the neighborhood of (inihain nvcaue ami Frost si rod and North Second street and Union avenue. A police station was established near thorp in that year for the sole purpose of breaking up what was then known as the "Guns on the Green." No policeman in that section of the city in those days ever went on his heat without doing accompanied by a brother ollicer. One policeman, who evidently did not know what fi.fii- u-n.

In tin, station house, attempted to arrest a certain member of the pans and while be was loading his prisoner nwiiy he was cruelly murdered. The murderer was afterwards caught and executed. It was in this sort of a disreputable place that Captain O'Reilly began his police career. Hardly a night passed that the officers attached to that station were not assaulted. The policemen selected to ferret out that gang were the best that could be gathered from the other precincts, and Captain O'Reilly and a few others, because of theit fearlessness which they had previously manifested, Were selected.

After considerable difficulty and trouble the "Gang on the Green" was broken np, but many of the policemen were injured iu the attempt. After this gang was a thing of the past O'Reilly was transferred to the Ninth Precinct, which was then situated on Gates avenue, near Marcy. He remained in this precinct for gome time, during which he made a number of clever and important arrests. On January 1, 1883, after being nearly nine years a patrolman. Captain O'Reilly welcomed the news that he was appointed, for honorable and effective service, to the position ofj roundsman.

'With his promotion came an order to report at the old Thirteenth Precinct, at Broadway and Whipple street. Two years later, on October 12, he was advanced to a Serjeant. Then lie was transferred to the Schenectady, avenue station, where he remained for a brief time only. From there he was sent to take temporary command of the lower Fulton Street Precinct, where bo made a creditable record. It was while in charge of this precinct, In 1895, that he was promoted to a captaincy, a position which many citizens said he was competent to fill.

He was then as- CAPT. MIXES signed to command the Fifth avonoe station. While there his precinct was kept clean of all vice and the people were very seldom troubled by thieves. The captaiu's good record, It appeared, had preceded him to South Brooklyn, fur the' lawbreakers who were there packed up their traps and decamped for other parts. From this precinct he was transferred to the flules venue prreiiifl, corner of Onto ami Thrnop --otiiiea.

tb'S JjliK'd Canlaiu 0'Uliv" 4 it 6 special envoy for France, in an official report stated that had the First Long Island Volunteers given way at the battle of Fair Oaks the Army of the Potomac would have been decisively defeated. Captain O'Reilly remembers that great day very well when the rebels made repeated attempts to dislodge the regiment he belonged to. But the gallant Brooklyn boys held their ground nobly and, as the prince said, saved the army from defeat. During these many engagements Cnpta.in O'Reilly was wounded wiee. He was a strong, healthy, robust lad of a very determined nature and he never allowed his wounds to keep him in the hospital longer than it was absolutely The captain also recollects very well the time when Abraham Lincoln passed down the lines of soldiers, brought up to be reviewed ny him, and bow he thanked them for their bravery" and loyalty to the Union.

"The old and the young soldiers alike," said the captain, "felt honored when the gallant and immortal Lincoln addressed us." Captain O'Reilly is 57 years old. Ho was born on Sept. 27, 1843, in County West Meath, Ireland. He came to this country when he was 8 years old, and worked nntil the outbreak of the war in the lower section of the city. In those days the captain said that boys 10 and 17 years old were glad to get (2 a week as wages.

The captain now resides at Jfo. 775 Qnincy street, and he has an exceedingly happy family. It consists of his wife, who was a Mlsa Catherine Bagley (who lost two brothers in the Civil War), and three daughters and two sons. Tjhe oldest son, Thomas, is a special detective In Bauland's store, and the John is an expert clothes cotter. Miss Mary B.

O'Reilly has an art and needle business; Miss Annie M. is a stenographer, and Helen K. is still at school. In concluding, it may" he well to state that after the war Captain O'Reilly worked on the cars of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company. Sly Joking in the Pulpit.

"Before I went to college," said a minister of this city, "I did supply work on a certain charge one summer. In the Methodist church' we had service morning and evening. There was a Fresby-terian chnrch in the village, and the pastor from another village supplied it, preaching there once a Sunday in the afternoon. I went to hear him one He was a college bred man and was supposed to be away" up. When he spied me in the congregation, he came down and asked me to assist in the Opening exercises.

When we were seated, he asked me to read the first lesson and at the same time announced that it was a certain chapter iu the book of Numbers. Just before I was to read I reached np to the desk and took down the Bible and opened at the place. I glanced down over tho chapter and saw that it was a mass of unpronounceable names. I kaew that ho was working a joke on me. He knew that I could not get away with those names.

His record in this precinct was envied by his brother ollicers, and many favorable comments were made of his fearlessness in apprehending all lawbreakers, no matter how strong a pull they bad. Captain O'Reilly is noted among his friends as being a very truthful and outspoken man. But there was one time in his life when he told ns big a falsehood as was possible.

He told it, however, so that his services might be neeeutd when he tried to enlist when the Civil YVar broke out. It was the means, nevertheless, of getting him enlisted. Captain O'Reilly-was then only" 17 years old, and had tried to be made a member of the old Fourteenth Regiment nt the outbreak of hostilities. When the recruiting officer learned that the captain was only 17 years old he had him ejected from the recruiting building. O'REILLY.
