WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BODY
THEY NULIIFIED HIS CHARGES
AGAINST AN EMPLOYE OF
THE DEPARTMENT.
THE DEPARTMENT.

Henry Winthrop Gray has resigned the office OF
Fire Commissioner and S. Rowland Robbins has
been appointed in his place. This announce
ment was made by Mayor Gilroy yesterday after
noon before he left his office. The Mayor had
intended to make public good deal Of CORE
spondence on the subject but inasmuch as an
inportant communication had not been returned
20 the Mayors office, the explanatory correspond
ence had TO be withheld.
The resignation Of Mr.. Gray has grown out OF
charges which he made in the Board Of Fire
Commissioners some months ago. He asserted
that the Superintendent Of Supplies. Charles A
Soteldo. was purchasing cast-iron CRATES Tor
fire engines at Az cents pound. which price was
higher than the Department would be compelled
to pay in the open market. He not only made
these charges in the meetings Of the Fire Com
mssioners but he embodied them in letter
which he sent to Mayor Gilroy. The Mayor SEMI
them back TO the Fire Commissioners and an IN
vestigation followed. The other two Commission
ers John j. Scannell. the president. and Anthony
Eickhoff reported back to the Mayor. giving a
full account OF the evidence collected at the IN
yestigatio and declaring that the charges maze
by Mr. Gray were not borne out. The letter OF
Messrs. Scannell and Eickhoff was sent by tne
Mayor to Mr. Gray, who yesterday sent reply
to the Mayor, saying that ne "oulu ho iohse'
serve as a Fire Commissioner.
Mr.. Gray, in the letter in which he tenders ms u,
resignation. reminds the Mayor that he wouid
have resigned when he first called attention 10
the high price paid for supplies. as the cordial
relations which had hitherto existed between
himself and his colleagues had been uncomtorta-
blv strained but the Mayor prevailed upon MIN
20 remain in the board until at least ne was
ready to appoint successor. Mr.. Gray did SO
until yesterday when he was relieved py the
appointment Of 5. Rowland Robbins.

 The angel of death has visited the home of Mir. and Mrs. Jim Weatherall and claimed for its victim little Alma the idol of their home. But God, who gave to them the precious child, was pleas ed to snatch her away in His own good time and pleasure, from this sin-smitten and disordered world, and thus deliver her from it's tolls and snares.

A Chain Broken.

A Chain Broken.
 On Oct. 18th, a bright, beauti- ful morning, when all nature com bined to animate us with thoughts of life, suddenly our town was wrapped in mantle of gloom. on hearing that the dread angel, Death, which is always an unwel- come guest, and, departing, leaves footprints in our flower beds of joy and happiness, had tapped upon one of the sweetest homes and summoned to that "grand for evero one of it's noblest inmates, our beloved friend, Jas. B. Bus sey. Soon the tidings were wait. ed far and near. Friends eagerly wended their way to each other, asking who was dead. Sc well was he known and respected amongst us that universal sorrow pervaded our town; and marks of grief were discerned on every hand. Yes, so soon, was he taken away; in the morning of his life when he had just entered into manhood; in the morning of the day when the ar rows of sunrise lodged in the tree tops, bright, he fell in his saint-like beauty, asleep by the gates of light. Surely Death aims his dart at shining mark. for our young friend presented in the lit tie and almost unobscrved details of domestic life, the character that subsequently, developed into the rich and delightful fruit of labor. truth, and love which adorned his head, his heart ard his life; that made him one of our most es- teemed citizens, and commanded the respect and love of every one who knew him. There are green spots in our memories upon which tine name of cur c ear. former asseci ate is inscribed, and which no summer $ heat nor winters chill ing blast. nothing but death cold wave shall ever efface. As we turned away after the clods had covered his form from our sight forever. we could picture in the heckless azure which bends above us, the Iustre of single star, though. maybe. long ago queneh- ed, but seeming living and lus- trious, so this star, though blot ted from our view, the light which radiated from | has not left Us. ''Weep not for those whom the veil Of the
 tomb
 In hfe's happy morning hath hid from our
 eyes.
 Ere sin threw a blight o'er the spirits young
 bloom
 Or earth had profaned what was born for
 the skies,
 Death chilled the fair fountain ere sorrow had
 stained it,
 Twas frozen it all the pure light of its
 course,
 And but sleeps till the sunshine of Heav-
 en has unclaimed 1t

 source D
 May we so live that when our summons comes to join the inaum- erable caravan that leads to the pale realms of shade where each shall take his chamber in the si- lent halls of death, we may be able e 10 say "Where the faithful part no more, meet me there."
