A Legal Party Throws the Fire Engine
Matter in Muddle Again.

A Legal Party Throws the Fire Engine
Matter In Muddle Again.
The fire engine controversy still refuses to
down, and the outcome seems to be more
clouded than at any time since the sscruel
war" commenced. The action of the council
Tuesday night in adopting the report OF the
special committee, and ordering ''the proper
officers" to purchase the La France
engine, was, upon first thought,
generally accepted as settle
ment of the question. Then the point was
raised that this order of the council was null
and void, from the fact, as is claimed, that the
act OF the late legislature creating board Of
fire commissioners, deyolved that duty upon
that board, and that the only power the city
council could exercise in the matter was to
direct.a purchase, and confirm or reject the
action of the board in the premises. This claim
is based upon the 18th section of the act
creating the board, by which It il
invested with all discretionary powers for
furnishing supplies for the fire department
without the action Of the city council, ex-
cept IN the case of extraordinary expendi-
lures. such as building new engine house,
buying an engine, ETC., in which case the
council must approve the action of the
board to make it lawful.
It is further claimed that as to the pur-
chase of an engine at this time, the board
Of fire commissioners is given full author
ley by the enabling act, as it Is designated
in that ~ act that there shall be
five steam fire engines in the department, and
there now being but four, the board is en-
powered to proceed without action by the
council and make good the deficiency.
On the other hand it Is claimed that the
council still retain full control OF the pur-
chase of this particular engine, and in fact,
over the purchase of fire department ma.
chinery at any time, If it sees
fit to exercise such power, no matter
fire commissioners. This claim is based upon
the theory that the council having been given
that power by the charter, and the exercise of
such power not having been specifically in
hibited by the act creating the board of fre
commissioners, it still remains in the coun-
Gil.
Alderman Cornish holds to this opinion, az
he told GLOBE reporter yesterday, and 1t il
understood several other aldermen take the
same view Of the councils powers in the mat
ter. Alderman Cornish goes still further, and
holds that the La France engine was virtually
purchased by the action of the council Tues
day night, and that any failure to take the ma
chine would lay the city liable to q suit for
damages.
In this muddle the GLOBE reporter confesses
himself unable to see daylight, but it looks
as II suit for damages against the city would
inevitably result, ,whicheversway the contest is
finally settled.
The board of fire commissioners hold a meet
Ing this afternoon, at which they will un-
doubtedly take some action. Perhaps that
action will clear up the muddls and perhaps
not. We shall see.

PERSONNEL OF THE FIRM.
A. Ramsey Nininger is young man of most
respectable connections. He is nephew of
the Hon. Alex Ramsey, ex-secretary Of war,
whose namesake he is, and has always moved
in the best circles of st. Paul society.
Though well liked by his asso-
ciates he would be considered q trife 'airy''
in his demeanor by one of the common peo-
pie" He is married to a daughter of Mrs.
Mackubin, and, though engaged for some
years in the frontier trade, has always made
st. Paul his home. He served for time as
an officer in the regular army, was afterwards
a post trader at Fort Keogh when that post
was first established, and then formed q co.
partnership with Mr.. Harmon, as merchants,
at Miles City. Persons who were at Miles City
in the early days of the firm say that the bu-
siness was managed in manner that would be
considered somewhat loose in more civilized
section, and that 1t was quite reckless in its
much as $500 or $500 at time. Mr.. Mimi
ger was in st. Panl all last week and the first
of this week, and left for Miles City on
Tuesday evening, after having satisfactorily
disposed Of his property interests here.
c. W. Savage, the partner of Mr. Ninin ger,
and manager of the house, was formerly q
clerk in the store. He has been on the
frontier for many years. The present catas-
trophe is not very favorable commentary
upon his business capacity. Mr.. Savage made
the assignment in behalf of the firm.
Alex. Harding, the assignee, is well known
in st.. Paul, having formerly been
clerk at the Metropolitan Hotel
and was engaged then In that capacity when
Mr.. Culver, former proprietor, failed. He
