THE UEPLEAsANTNksS BETWEEN DISTRICT con-
MISSIONER MORGAN AND CHIHF ENGtSHs i
CRONIE.
During the fire at Heurich's brewery Sdnd4 4y
morning, District Commissioner Morgan, who
lives near there, was early on the ground ad-
yisirg and directing the f1remen. While he Was
so engaged he was approached by Chief EQgI.
neer Crontn, who said, with some aspertCy,
"Major Morgan, l am In charge OF this [ire,
sir" AS the remark was made loud enough TO
be heard by every one In the vicinity, 1t was OF
course not pleasant position for Commts-
sioner Morgan, who soon afterwards retired.
Yesterday morning he brought the matter to
the attention CT hts colleagues, who issued an
order suspending the Chief Engineer. That Off
Ger was sent for and amply apol0gized for his
brusque manner to the Commissioner, stating
that he had always been under the Impression,
and acted upon it, that by law the authority or
the Chief Engineer was supreme at fires. The
order OF suspension. was then Withdrawn by
the District Commissioners, and conmunica-
ton sent to the Board OF Fire Commissioners
stating the circumstances and Urging that the
Chief Engineer shall make q full and ample
apology as public as the offence, aud that he
be Instructed that he must obey the orders of
the Commissioners OF the District whether on
the IRE ground or elsewhere. So the matter
now STANDS.

The investigation now making into the star

discover, for instance, what the star route job
bers had to do with sending an anti Randall
delegation to the Cincinnati convention; it may
discover why Senator Wallace stood so Stuo-
borhly by the star route people Ia the Senate;
IL may discover who were the star route JOB
bers who had the drOll audacity to imagine
they could control the nomination Of General
Gar1eld's Postmaster General, and who they
were who so bitterly opposed the nomination
OF Mir James as fatal to their hopes. and, VINO
again they were who believed they could make
Clint Wheeler MIR. Brady's successor as the
Chief OF the star route department, and what
relation to "the growth OF the country" certain
dinners In Wash1n gton last March had which
the Postmaster General very properly declined
to attend, and finally, how much the star
route people bled to secure certain ends at the
Cincinnati convention. and how much more
they bled 10 secure the defeat OF the Cincin-
natu candidate In November. The star route
people-the Jobbers that Is to say-are very
sore at what looks to them like defeat along
their whole line, when they fancled they ID
SO safely invested as to secure even a better
