POLICE COWmISSIONKE1Ss The Late Omcer Boucher Says he was Illegally Dfsn1issed-He AsAS AOE Back Pay-BIIls Approved.
 The regular monthly meeting of the roii00 Commissioners was held last evening.
 Frank Kembry asked for a supernune1sar position on the force, and his petition was lodged on file.
 John Leary appeared before the Board and asked that he be paid s10 for the trouble ef altering his rooms for polling place, which was afterwards changed to the Register build ing. The bill was ordered paid.
 Judge Blydenburgh appeared in behalf of the former Officer Boucher, who was dismiss ed from the service in September, 1882. The judge claimed that as there were only three votes for Officer B6ucher's removal that the vote was illegal because there was not a majority of the Board that voted in fa- vor. For this reason he claimed that Boueh- CT was now legally policeman and ought to be placed on duty, and that he is entitled to his pay from the date of his dismissal to the present time.
 Commissioner BoIlman said the matter was referred to the corporation counsel at the time for his opinion as to the legality of the dis missal, but as Boucher surrendered his equip menus, WHICH pe1OuSod GO tuo C4oy, ho UAAONSAs the matter was settled.
 Mayor Lewis said he did not see that Boucher was entitled to any back pay if he was not legally dismissed as he had made no demand on the city. He thought the opinion of the corporation counsel had better be obtained.
 MT. Bollman thought they had better leave the matter as it was in August, 1883, so far as the Board was concerned. He believed 1n letting the matter go to the courts.
 MT. Cat1in moved that MT. Bollman be re- quested to see the corporation eounsef and get his opinion. The i0tion was lost.
 The case against Officer Thomas Kennedy who is charged by Hacknaan Robert Dunlap jr, with interfering with his business ir taking two passengers away from him and putting them into Herdic, was laid ovel until the next meeting.
 Bills for the month of November amount ing to between 5000 and $4,000 were ap proved. Adjourned.

 A large crowd witnessed the play of ''New- bern, or The Old Flag" at Carll's Opera House last night.

The prologue which preceded the drama was good. The Dwight school cadets won applause for their drilling and march ing. Although young, they drill with the precision of veterans. The zouave drill by the Light Guard was finely executed and re- ceived rounds of applause. The f'Contra- bands" furnished much amusement for the audience and their singing was good Mr H. E. Jones as "Pat Murphy" was good comedian and provoked bursts of laughter Captain w. G. Dickinson as "David Jonesn was typical Yankee soldier Miss Anna belle Lewis as "Alice Bailey" and Miss Mar gery MacGilvery as Emma Bailey y'sustained their parts well, as did all the members of the company.
