The Fire Board met last night and fined

duty. The trials of the twenty-one men

the last thre months were taken up, and
each case was dismissed with a repri-
mand. Most of the buffaloes arraigned
on the above charge were old and compe-

Board thought it best to be lenient with
them. Three G~reenvfllejtes attached TO

CONSTABLE GILLBAsE EXPLAIN.
Bergen Republicans ,Empugn Fhis
Political Faith.

The Bergen Republican Club member
met last night at their club rooms, and
while they were pleased with the Dig
Republican victory throughout the CITY,
they were displeased with the election
of James Gillease as Constable for the
Fifth district, on the ground that they
do not believe in his professions that he
is a Republican. To d to this the
members were not in a very HAPPY Inoo6
when some one proposed the elecIlon OF
MI. Gillease as a mlember of the club.
This ambitious member who proposed
him went to Mr.. Gillease, and asked
him if he would join the club. -

Der. "He also had Republican tickets
with Lewis pastors on them"
The member then recommended the
rejection of the application. A clause in
the bylaws had to be read to determine
the question of election.
Then the Gillease business was returned
to. Mr.. Landrine said:-
1.-THE application of Mr.. Gillease should
be rejected, because there is a feeling
in the club that he is not wanted. Why,
today, men who were asked to present
the proposition at the meeting refused.
No. they said, I will not handle it;
won't touch it. Is this the kind of man
we want in the club? Second, out of
every twenty-five men I have asked about
Mr.. Gillease's politics, I am told by TWEEN
ty that he is a Democrat. Is his the
kind of mar you want in the club?. |
for one do not want him here, and I
think he should be rejected and his money
returned"
Mr.. Mccarthy, one of the members
who signed Mr.. Gillease's application,
asked for permission to Withdraw his
name from the application, and said that
the Board of Governors should investi-
gate this matter, and if they find Gillease
to be a Democrat he should be expelled
from the party ranks.
The matter was referred to the Board
of Governors, every one of which strong

Lovers of the rare and the curious
could spend an interesting hour In Po-
ice Captain Fred Farrier's private room
at Police Headquarters, for there, ar

criminals, and a score of things as diff

and soon will require larger quarters in
which to house his treasures.

CHANGED to call on him yesterday, the
Captain very kindly pointed out and

these he takes great interest in, and with

Her physicians could do nothing to re-
