Captain Mckenzie, who succeeded Mr..

ness), last week suspended a guard, who was
prominent in the late investigation for his
derelictions and close relation to member of
the Board, for being intoxicated. Supervisor

tion Committee, was informed of the suspen-
sion, but decided that reprimand from him
was the only action called for in the matter,

City Hall gossips say that the present
Board of Supervisors contemplate a coup
d'etat, just before retiring from ofice, by
which one of them is to secure new lease of
official life. The story is that the terms of
the two Fire Commissioners, whose successors
must soon be elected, will expire December
1st, while the last day of life for the Board
of Supervisors is the Monday following-just
permitting them to snatch the appointments
FROM the incomers. The fortunate member
who is to be Commissioner is said TO be
Supervisor Fraser OF the Seventh Ward
Frederick Siebe to be the other Commits
sioner. By persons well informed and some
what in the confidence of the solid men, it is
believed this action is not at all improbable,
and ssome even say the new Board is will
ipgly relieved of a most unpleasant respon
sibili5y.
