some Objections to IL that VIII be
keIuedtpd.

The bill TO create a bocrd OF commits
sioners to manage the Richmond Fire
DEPARTMENT meets with pretty general
approval, but some features of it are oh
jectionable, and these the city delcga-
ton will endeavOr TO eradicate.
1t is thought undesirable that the first
board should fill vacancies which may
occur in that body. 1t will probably be
proposed that such vacancies shall be
filed by the City Council upon tine re-
commendation OF the Board of Public
Interests.
As to annual appropriations it is said
that the Council should not be made to
respond 10 unlimited calls. but the
board should be governed by the same
plan that controls the School Board in
its annual budget, except that there
should be n proviso that tho annual
appropriation should not be reduced be-
low present figures.
It is matter Of contention whether
the board should be organized and put
in control Of the Fire Department in
April or June.
There seems to he great unanlmity OF
opinion that the law should contain Il
specific and plainly understood penalty
for violation of that provision which for
bids any member of the board being in
terested III any contract or sale for fur
nishing goods or material or supplies
to the Fire Department and fire-alarm
service
Opinion approaches unanimity that,
as prescribed in the bill, the first board
should be elected by the Board of Public
Interests without reference TO the City
Council.

A FIRM DEFRAUDED.
strange Practices Among the Em-
DiOyees OF the House.


A Chicago special says: For a con-
siderable period previous to and up
to Christmas last rumors had been
ahoat among the employees OF Schle-
singer IL Mayer, one of the largest
retail dry goods houses in the city,
that things were not going on oil
right in the firms business, and the sus-
picions of some OF the members OF the
firm became aroused. David Mayer dis
covered that the sales in certain depart
ments were far IN arrears of what they
should be, and about Christmas last he
began vigorous campaign against the
seemingly incompetent or negligent sales
men of such departments.
One day Mr.. Mayer asked a salesman
how the sales in his department the pre-
yious day had been but 5000. The
salesman replied that they had been
81, 400. An investigation was started,
which disclosed startling combination
between ut least two of the chief en-
ployees of the place, whereby not only
was money obtained from the firm by
false pretences, but the subordinate
employees were defrauded by being
robbed of their reputation for efficiency,
and finally of their positions, in having
the accounts of their different depart
ments Systematically falsihed. 1t is said
that in one department alone the drops in
the sales for six months were found to
be something like Sl5, 200, but the firm
say the amounts taken have been greatly
exaggerated. At any rate, two OF the
most prominent of the employees OF the
firm have been discharged and have left
the city.
The attorney for the firm says: 1.-The
whole thing is simply this: There has
been system here whereby the statesmen
give check to each customer for the
goods he buys, keeping n copy OF 1t in
the stub, like the stub of a bank check
book. These stubs were entered up in
the books of the office, the sales of each
department being placed to its credit
Now one Of the principal employees in
the store stood in with one OF our chief
men in the office. The sales were taken
from different departments, entered
down to the credit OF the department
run by this man in the store, until the
sales realized there ran up to an enor-
nous sum, while other departments
shrank in proportion. Now, this mans
