On Monday President Cleveland sent to
the Senate the nomination Of George II.
Flagg for the pestmastership of this town,
vice S. H. Higinbotham, whose term Of SER
vice of four years has expired. Capt. Flagg
served in the same capacity under the first
administration of Mr.. Cleveland and proved
himself popular and efficient official, and
many friends are gratifed by his reappoint-
ment, and none will more heartily rejoice
that "our Flagg is again there" than Mr..
Higinbotham. During his incumbency of
the Office Mr.. HiginbOthsm did much to-
ward the efficiency ofthe service, and ifthere
was any lack it was not because Of any in
disposition on his part to please and accom-
mOdste the public. In the employment of
assistants he endesYOred to secure courteous
and capable persons-and was successful
along that line. He not unwillingly retires
to the shades of private life, for he has one
of the most beautiful homes in this great
Valley.

The residence Of Mr.. B. c. Washington, in
the new division Of the town and north Of the
Hotel Powhatan, was considerably damaged
bo FIRE Yesterday afternoon The fire is attrib-
uted to a defective lue. Much, if not all, Of
the furniture Was removed from the house,
but so unwisely handled as to have been
greatly damaged. We are not informed as to
the loss sustained.
The reckless and wreckful manner in which
Mr.. Washingtons property was handled by
thoughtless and, perhaps irresponsible per-
sons, suggests the propriety Of the town au-
thorities securing the service Of halfdozen
active and discreet persons to hasten to fires
and remove and protect property. In other
words, there appears to be necessity for a
paid Salvage Corps.
