PERSONAL.
Captain George Watt Taylor. who was elect
ed Chief yesterday morning, was the incum-
bent OF that office when the ReiOrmers came
into power two years ago. He was an officer
whose record was brilliant and successful,
and his fine character as a man, his services
as public spirited citizen, and his devotion
to his city and State entite Dim to the highest
respect. Had he consented 10 serve, the de.
partment would have joyfuly welcomed
back its old Chief and the community gene
rally would have rojoiced.
Captain PuleT, who has been elected
Chief. was not an applicant for that place.
He was IN no sense an opponent OF Captain
Taylor, but he is altogether competent and
deserving. lie IA builder by occupation,
aud is iorty.iour years OF age. He has been in
the department about thirteen years, having
served seven years a. hOseman in Steamer
No. ., and afterwards ,as foreman Of same
company. For the last five years he has been
Third Assistant Engineer.
Captain Puller entered the army at the COM
mencement OF the war and was severely
wounded in the battle OF Mechanicsyillc on
the 2G,h Of June. while assisting in driving
the enemy irop his fathers farm. He was
taken prisoner in the Gettysburg campaign,
and after remaining in prison for nineteen
months was exchanged and resumed his
command, and was paroled at Appomattox
Courthouse on The 9th OF April, 1865.
Captain Sheppard, the First Assistant, Is
the Broad. street clOthier, and Captain Snead,
the second Assistant, Is builder Both are
good and true men and experienced fire.
men.
The place OF Third Assistant the board
leaves vacant for the present; and probably
will not fill at all.
Mr.. Paynter becomes Mr.. w II. ThOmp-
sons assistant. 1t is the creation of a new
office only in name. There was position
called lincman and battery.man, and Mr..
Thompson's brother filled it. lie is uniortu.
nately q one-legged man, and the board be-
ing OF opinion that in the multiplication Of
wires in the city and the liability OF them
to get out OF order at any moment, two active
men were needed. Hence they put Mr.
Paynter IN the place OF Mr.. G. f. Thomp-
son.
The removals in the department amount TO
about one fourth Of the force.
FIRE-ALAEN DEPARTMENT.
For the office Of superintendent OF Fire
Alarm Mr.. W. II. Tbompson was reelected.
As assistant superintendent Mr.. George
+. Paynter was appointed.
