RUNGE EXONERATED.
THE COUNCIL FAILS TO FIND THE
FIRE CHIEF GUILTY.
THE VOTE rs EMPHATIC.

Resolution to Declare the Office
of Chief of the Fire Depart
lnent Vacant Indefinitely Post
poned The Young People
Jailed for Having Matrimonial
Inclinations Get Married.
Chief Runge is acquitted.
The board of aldermen, after hearing
the finishing testimony and the attor-
ney's closing charges last evening,
unanimously voted the chief of the Min-
neapoliS fire department innocent Of
many of the charges, while the strongest
vote cast against him OH any charge was
six. At the close of the investigation
Aid. Snyder introduced a resolution 10
declare the office of chief of the fire
department vacant. This was indefi-
nitely postponed by a unanimous vote.
Authorities now declare that there will
be general clearing out in the depart
ment. and that if Chief Runge remains
he will build up department that will
be the pride of the city. 1t is also de-
clared on good authority that Assistant
Chief Canterbury's head will be the
first to fail.
After Attorneys Davis and Fish had
made their able arguments, President
kIichli announced that q vote would
then be taken on the first charge as pre-
ferred 10y the special committee-that
Chief Runge was guilty of malfeaSance
and misconduct in office By reason of
taking and appropriating at fires to his
thn nrnnnrtV nf M hnr
and directing the members of the de-
partment 10 do the same.
Every alderman voted not guilty on
this charge except Aid. Adams, who is
IN bed with a broken leg, and Aid.
Miner, who refused to vote.
President Kiichli then formally de-
clared that Chief Runge was acquitted
on The charge.
The second charge was that Chief
Runge was guilty of malfpasance, mis-
conduct and misdemeanor in Office by
reason he encouraged stealing by mem
bers of the department, and made no
effort to stop it. The vote Oh this stood
as follows:
Gnlty-Ald. Sn! der, Jennings, Brad
iSh, L9ckey, Rollins AMI Gray.
Not Guilty-Ald. Lon=. ingenhutt,
Haynes, Loye. Harvey, BraZ.r. Auders-
derS. Mcclure, McAllister, Schwartz,
Skoog, Peterson, Currier and Mr.. PreSi-
dent.
The third charge alleged that the
chief was guilty of incompetency and
inetficiency in that he suffered members
Of the department to engage in stealing
ana never disciplined or punished them.
Upon this also Chief Runge was ac.
quilted, and so on down the list.

Don go to the theater, lecture or ball
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call
And good, long letter write
Write TO the sad old folks at home,
Who sit when the day is done
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think of thu absent one.
Write them letter tonight.
Don't selhshly scribble: Excuse my haste,
We scarcely time to write,'
L st their brooding thoughts go wandering bach
40 many u bygons night,
When they lost their needed sleep and rest
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
To their tender love ana care
Write them letter tonight.
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
OF their love and counsel wise,
For the heart grows strangely sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes:
1t might be well TO let them believe
You never forgot them quite
That you deemed it . pleasure when far away
Long letters home to write. Then
Write them o letter tonight
Don't think that the young and gtddy friends
Who make your pastime gay
Have half the anxious thoughts for YOU
That the old folks have to-day.
For the sad old folks at home
With locks fast turning white.
Are longing to hear OF the absent one
oh, write them letter tonight.

Cen. Grants Cabin.

The historic log ca bin which was
Grants headquarters during the most
important part Of the civil war, and
which now stands in Paramount park,
says the Philadelphia Press, is fast
falling into decay and being carried off
piecemeal by relic hunters and pocket
knife vandals. The hut stands amid
clump of trees at the top of an un-
dulating grass-grown knoll not far re-
moved from a great elevator and a
hybrid settlement of razzle-dazzles,
soda-water fountains and peanut
stands.
Animated and turbulent as the adj
jacent acres of park territory are when
once the outskirts of the thin woods
amidst which the hut is located are
penetrated, all becomes still and life
less 50 far as human agency is directly
concerned. The park guard. if he ever
strolls here, must make his visits short
The structure itself is wormeaten and
uncared for. 1t has door at the front
and another at the rear. Each is hacked
by the withdrawing fieud. There are
windows on the two sides, but dust
and CRIME have made them almost
opaque.
Nevertheless, the story Of which this
neglected old hut was part will live
in history forever. 1t was put up in
1864, and was occupied by Grant dur
ing the last four or five months Of the
rebellion. 1t stood on bluff overlook
ing the James river, where were es-
tablished the headquarters Of the
Union armies from June, 1864. to March.
1865. During the summer and part of
the autumn Grant had slept in tent,
but as the weather grew colder cabins |
were built for the officers
Grant, as Commander-in-Ch Chief of all I
the military forces, had structure
more pretentious than his staff mas
much as it contained two rooms,
the other officers cabins had /
but one. Mrs. Grant spent portion
of the winter with her husband, and
after her departure it became the re-
sort of all the military lights on the
Union side of the conflict The most
neutrality-suspicious. events in the
history Of this country were planned
IN this now moldering little shanty.
From it Grant issued his orders rati-
lying Sherman's march to the sea.
From it he summoned Sheridan to tile
Potomac. From it he removed Butler
after the failure at Fort Fisher. The
celebrated dispatches to Thomas were
written in it. Here Grantreceived the
commissioners who came to treat for
,cace.

TIE Rag at Lookout Mountain.

Hugh Brady, Company l. Eighty
fourth Illinois, Yates Center, Kan.
says that there has been great deal
of disputing about Lookout Mountain.
and he believes that all the troops
there did their whole duty, but the
writer thinks he saw the first rebel
flag pulled down on top of Lookout
Mountain, no matter who may have
have planted the first United States
flag. While Rosecran's army was adj
vancing on Chattanooga in September,
1863, the Third brigade, First divis-
ion, Fourth corps, assembled Lookout,
and about the Sth or 9th of September
reached the top of the mountain bv
using cow-paths, in some places being
compelled to march single file After
reaching the summit and forming line
of-battle they marched from the point
OF the mountain to Summerville and
soon struck the rebel rear-guard and
gave them chase When they reached
Summeryille the rebs were getting
down the east side of the mountain.
quitting the place in such hurry that
they had left their headquarters flag,
hoisted on tall tree, which had been
trimmed of foliage and which was right
on the brink of cliff. Gen. William
Crosse said the flag must come down, /
and William Baugness, of Company II,
Eighty fourth Illinois climbed the
tree and loosened the flagstaff, and |
1t was soon torn into pieces
and kept as mementoes, the writer
only getting a piece of the flag
staff, there not being enough of the
flag to go round. The writer believes
that this was the first rebel flag hauled
down off of Lookout, and he believes
that the stars and stripes carried by the
regiments of Crosses brigade was the
