gage in a private business. in which he is

credit as an efficient officer
The lieutenantS of the several precincts
were much affected when the announcement
was made to them this morning and general
will be his successor. even by members of the
board, and until permanent appointment is
made II IS probable that Capt VIM. G. Brock
Will act as chief.
