 partment.
 Boston, July 2.-Colonel Henry S. Rus sell, Boston's new fire commissioner, is- sued a general order to-day which out lines the policy of the new head of the fire department and shows conclusively that he intends to have the strictest discipline maintained while he is com missioner. The following are extracts:
 There Is to be no action or talk for the purpose of changing the rules and laws relating to the department, for a con tract exists between the city and the members of the department, and when any one is dissatisfied he can be reliev- ed from all obligation by resigning, but must not try to have the laws and rules changed as long as he wears the uni form. Every member must rest on his own merit as a fireman, as well as on his character as a man, and on them alone depend his association and his promotion.
 No politics will be allowed In company houses and no member of the depart ment can belong to a political club. This department is one of firemen, and not one of or for politicians; and Its members must choose between the two.

FIGHT WIrH BURGLARS.
Post Office Thieves and n Night watohma'
 Exchange Shots.


 Exchange Shots.
 New Milford, July 2,-Three burglars effected an entrance to the post office here early this morning, but they were frightened off by the night watchman, and secured nothing. One of the bur glars stood on guard at the corner of Bank and Main streets, and when the watohman appeared he was ordered to throw up his hands.
 The watchman replied by throwing his club at the robber. The burglar fired. The watchman stepped behind a tree and returned the fire. The other two thieves came to the assistance of their companion, and a general fusilade was the result.
 When the watchmans revolver was empty he ran to the home of Policeman Adds, near by, and aroused him. When they returned to the post office the rob- bers had fled. A sledge, two chisels and brace remained behind. A broken side window showed how the burglars had entered.
