THE NEW OFFIcEss-Ths special policemen
last appointed by the Mayor, reported for duty at
the Central Guardhouse last night, and were as
signed To their respective beats. Lieut. Noble
Thomas also entered upon the discharge OF his
duties.
We are informed that before the guards were
sent to their respective posts, letter was re-
ceivfd from the Mayor ordering the dismissal of
b Kurtz, one Of the officers appointed under the
act supplemental to the act organizing ths police
system.
The plan for uniforming the auxiliary guard
does not appear to pleas. all concerned since it
makes difference in favor Of the day police
The uniforms OF the latter are furnished by the
Corporation in addition to their salaries while
the Guards, who receive the same salaries and
are allowed no fees for the arrests they make In
u 0aSes those fees being transferred to the
day police, who are constablss, } are required to
pay for their uniforms out Of their salaries

THAT PUMP at the corner Of ID and Fourteenth
street needs the immediate attention of the pump
doctor. Those living in the neig hborbood for a

estimate II has been ascertained that some five
hundred persons depend on the supply of water
that usually comes from this pump, and for the
space OF five weeks past they have been COM
PEELED to carry water from distance 90 with
suction box and stop the squabble. before a water
riot breaks out among our good neighoors.
