NIT. Disbrow's Resignation After
 Long Service as Assistant.
 At the meeting of the fire commissioners Tuesday evening Assistant Chief Engineer John L. Disbrow resigned. The growth of the city and the changes in the organization of the department have for some time past made the office of assistant chief engineer en- tirely unnecessary and Mr. Disbrow made up his mind some time ago to resign. He was appointed in 1868, and has been faithful, tireless worker, hardly ever missing fire in all that period. Hoseman H. N. De Forest of steamer 6 also resigned.
 The petition for new fire alarm box ct the corner of State and Grown streets was granted. Box 33, now at the corner of State and Whiting streets, will be placed at the corner of State and Water streets. The board voted to adopt graded system like that in force in the police depar tment, to take effect upon future applicants.

"What is her playing like? 'Tis ike the wind in wintry northern valleys. dream-pause-then 1t rallies And once more bends the pine tops, shatrers The ice crags whitely scatters The spray along the paths of avalanches; Start1es the blood and every visage blanches. Half-sleeps the wind above swirling pool That holds the trembling shadow of the trees, Where waves too wildly rush to freeze Though all the air is cool; And hear, oh hear, while unsteady call With nearer tinklng sounds or distant roar Voices of fall on fall; And now a swelling blast that dies, and now-no

 The Bankers Win.
 The Supreme court has decided the famous "trust receipt" case that came up when E. S. Wheeler & Go. failed. MT. Wheeler bought his iron under what is known as a "trust receipt" of Barring Brothers, the great London bankers; Heidelbsch, Ickelheimer & Go. of New York, Brown Brothers of Liver pool and New York and Kidder, Peabody & O. of New ' ork, who claimed at the time of the failure Wheeler owed these gentlemen about S20O O00 and had in his possession about S60, 900 worth of iron bought from these firms and held on the trust receipt. Mir. Wheeler claimed he owned the iron but the bankers denied this, and claimed that the goods did not go out of their possession until MT. Wheeler paid them in cash. MT. w. L. Bennett was appointed 8 committee of the Superior court to take evidence in the case and make finding for the Supreme court. He did so and the legal points in the case were argued exhaustively. The decision of the Supreme court is in favor of the bankers and the iron is held to belong to them until paid for according to the terms of the receipt in which the merchandise was held in trust. This decision will make big hole in the assets of the defunct concern, and now it is doubtful if MT. Wheeler will be able to pay more thsn few cents on the dollar to his numerous creditors
