Mysterious Disappearance.

A colored girl named Mary Savin,
aged about l6 years, left her home No.

it is feared some evil may have

pleated in the back. 1t is suspicioned
that she may have been enticed away

CHIEF ENGINEER,
Now the Fire Department are Set.
Ting tie Matter for the Present.

The fire department Of this city have
not yet taken much interest in the se-
lection Of candidates for the Office Of
Chief Engineer Of the. fire department.
The seeming lack Of interest is attribu-
ted by some as ruse Of the various
companies to see what candidates will
be preferred by their contemporaries.
After making queries in regard to the
matter yesterday afternoon 1t was
learned that but one aspirant was look
ing forward to q nomination. Calling
at the Friendship fire engine house the
REPUBLICAN, was told by a member of
that company that at present no candi-
date had been nominated, but in all
probability the Treasurer of the com
pany, Mr.. Thomas Lynch, would be an
aspirant for the honor of securing that
position. 1t the Phoenix fire engine
house in answer to the query whether
that company had nominated candi-
date 1t was said that no candidate had
been elected and none probably would
be. Likewise the Water Witch Com
pany have paid no attention to the
matter. A member of the Reliance
Fire Company says it will take no stock
in the affair whatever. The meeting of
the Washington Fire Company on Mon
day evening was so long that no refer.
encs was given to the question. The
matter possibly will receive attention
at the next meeting. The Fame Hose
Fire Company have not yet considered
the question, bat in all probability will
dc so at the next meeting. The Vice.
cacoe Fire Engine Company also have
been diliatory in regard to the ques-
ton. The report that Robert Cotting-
ham, a member Of this company, was
for the Office, is branded by
Mr.. c. as false. Many Of the oompa.
MES say that they think the appoint
ment will bs made by the City Council,
owing to the fact that the firemen can
not satisfactorily elect one of their
number to occupy the position.
Last night the Delaware Fire Com
pany nominated "Budd" O'Brisn as
their candidate for Chief Engineer.
