THE DEvOrO INTERROGATION.
The Committee Unable 20 say why
He Was Discharged.

According to adjournment the special
Council committee appointed to inquire
why Charles Devote was discharged from
a foremanship in the gas-works met
last night in the Council chamber and
continued the examination OF witnesses,
who consisted of members of the Light
Committee, upon whose recommendation
Devote was dismissed.
MISREPRESENTATION.
Mr.. Powers. the chairman. was first
questioned. He said he had heard that
Devote had misreprcsented the commit
tee in talking about the members OF 1t.
This he considered uDgrateful, because
the committee had allowed Devote $40
for time lost from work when he frac-
tured one of his fingers. He believed
Devotos removal would be for the good
OF the service.
Mr.. MollOy, another member, also
thought Devote ungrateful.
PERSONAL REASONS.
Mr.. COnnor had voted against Devote
for personal reasons, but thought his re-
moval would benefit the service. He
had heard that Devote spoke disrespect-
fully of the committee, but that had not
affected his vote.
PROFOUND SLEEPER.
Mr.. Otley had cast O negative vote for
many reasons. Devote unnecessarily
made statements in reference to me, "
said Mr.. Otley. "Do i consider HIM
competent? /? No, / do not, from lnfor-
nation which / have received from ON
ployees of the works L do not consider
any man competent who while in the dis
charge of bis duty will go to sleep so
soundly that the stihing smoke
of burned waste applied to his
nose fails to wake him, and it
took the noise of the fall of heavy
plank thrown on the floor to accomplish
that result. / do not wish this state
ment to be reflection on the Superin-
tendent, so 1 will say he knew nothing
about 1t.
The Superintendent here said he did
know of this. The facts had been re-
ported to him, and Devote had been
reprimanded at the time.
The committee discussed the matter
for some time, and finally, on motion OF
Mr.. Dickerson, the following report was
adopted:
10 the Honorable Council Of the city
Of Richmond:
Your special committee, appointed to
investigate why Mr.. Devote was dis
charged from the city gas-wOrks, submit
the following report:
After careful investigation we are uua-
BILE to report any other reason than that
to be found in the record of the Com
mittee on Light.
We recommend that chapter 6, section
4, of the City Ordinances be amended so
AS TO read as follows "All other officers
and employees of the city shall receive
the salaries or compensation provided by
the ordinances of the city or resolution
of the Council, and no person Sh0H 6e
employed on account Of political dUfi-
alton, ard no employers SHAT be dis
