A Tour of Inspection.

Messrs. Holland, Anderson and Henley
OF the fire committee, accompanied by
President John 7. Pagan of the common
council, last evening made tour of the
several engine houses, including the fire
boat, and found the department to be
in excellent condition with the exoep-
tlon that number of the horses need
replacing and that the committee will
ask for material increase of its ap-
preparation for that purpose. The COM
mite will also recommend that the
gougs now in use on the engines and hose
wagons be replaced with single bells.
and they will also advise the purchase
of an exercise wagon for Hose 6. The
committee also made an examination of
the fire boat and will recommend that
it be equipped with.electric lights which
can be done at small expense. +

swindled Griffen the JewelIer Out of Three
Gold Watches.

Yesterday morning. early, while Mr.. Dyer.
of tho firm of Dyer & Neal, was sitting in
his office at work, a man entered ana in
CURED if his partner, Mr.. Neal, was in.
Mr. Dyer said no. whereupon the stranger
said that he had made an appointment
with Mr.. Neal at that hour. Mr.. Dyer re-
quesfed the man to.be seated as Mr.. Neal
would doubtless be in presently. The man
sat down, and Mr.. Dyer. not having
breakfasted, left the man in the office to
wait for Mr.. Neal.
When Mr. Dyer returned from his break
fast he found Mr.. Neal in the Office and lie
asked him if he had an appoint tment with
tie stranger, who had evidently gone
away. Mr.. Neal said he had not made an
engagement to meet anybody at that hour.
Both the attorneys throught the matter
strange. Some time later messeger came
from DIR. Griffen's, the Congress street jew
| eller, asking if Mr.. Dyer had received the
three gold watches sent 10 him. Mr.. Dyer
immediately inquired what was meant The
messenger replied that Mr.. Griffen had re-
celVed an order. apparently signed by Mr..
Dyer. and written on the firms paper, that
bears the finn bilhead, asking him TO send
Mr.. Dyer three gold watches by the bearer,
as he wished to select enc present for
lady, and be hadn't the time that morn
ing TO come into the 81 ore and select one.
Mr.. Griflen, from the appearance of things,
and the note, gave the bearer the watches,
and had not heard since anything from the
messenger, Mr.. Dyer or the watches. Mr.
Dyer Immediately notified Mr.. Gritfen that
the order was forgery and also informed
the police.
1t appears that the man took advantage
of Mr.. Dyer's leaving the Office TO take a
sheet of the firms paper and forge the or
der. 1t seems that he tried the game on
the Lowell Arms company, saying that Mr..

WEDDINGS.
Libby -SouIe.


A very pleasant event was that which
occurred Wednesday evening. at the res.
idence of Mr.. D. B Soule, Prospect street,
Woodfords, when his youngest daughter
Elsie, was united in marriage to Mr..
Fred B. LIBBY of Brighton, by Rev. E. p
Wilson. Only members of the immedi-
ate families were present. The house was
handsomely decorated with evergreens
and plants. The presents were many.
including the useful and ornamental,
showing that the young couple were
blessed with the good wishes of a lar e
number of friends. Refreshments were
served, after which Mr.. and Mrs. Libby
departed for their new home in Brigh-
ton, amid shower of rice and old shoes.
