CHIEF ENGINEER VS.. MAYOR.
There Seems to be Bitter Friction Hin
Bath Between These Important Offices.
fsnecial to the PRESS. }

Bath. March 1.-THE new city govern
ment came into power next Monday, and
for that reason II special meeting of the
CITY council was held this evening to close
up the affairs of the year. Reports of a
number of committees were received.
little tilt has occurred here between the
mayor and the chief engineer of the IRE de-
partment, which reached the city council
tonight.
/, seems that a Bath jeweler asked the
Chief several months ago for the privilege
of having the fire alarm striker LACED in
his store. and that he would strike it regu-
larIy free. The Chief replied that he would
think it over.
Meanwhile a rival jeweler went to the
Mayor and made the same request. He
granted it, and the connection was being
made when the Chief ordered it stopped.
The connection was made. however, and at
the last meeting of the city council the
jeweler asked permission to do the striking.
1t was referred to the committee on fire de-
partment.
The Chief claims that he has charge of all
tire apparatus, the Mayor admits it, and the
former is mad because the connection was
made without his permission and against
his consent.
Tonight the aldermen passed an order
giving A. G. Page, Jr., the jeweler. permis-
sion to strike the alarm, but when it
reach the lower board. Councilman
Parshley hold that the Chief should be sus-
tanned and that the connection was not
authorized by the proper person. The
council non-oonourred and the aldermen
asked for committee of confsre nee. The
committee was made up as follows: Alder
men Harris and HagRott. Councilmen Foote
Rideout and Reed. The committee was ous
tor over an hour, and when it came IN re-
ported In favor of having the alarm striker
in Dir. Pages store by the consent and un.
der the objection of the Chief Engineer OF
the fire depaI aItnent.

HELPED BY RosToN's BOUNTY.
The Cargo of Food was a Godsend to
Starving Families-Plans to Unite New
Foundland and Canada.

St.Johns N.F., March 1.-THE
goods for the relief of the suffering poor
of ST. Johns, brought here by the steam
er Grand Lake from Boston, few days
ago, have all been landed and are 6storsd
free of cost. They are being distributed
today. The opinion of the committee
in charge of the distri button is that the
quality OF the goods was never excelled
in st. Johns. The amounts Tor distri-
button in the outports are heing carried
to their destination by the railroed
companies free OF cost. The number of
destitute families in ST. johns is in
creasing daily, and reports from the out
ports are to the effect that people in
many localities ara in utter destitution.
A despatch from a small settlement on
the south west coast, signed by the par
ish priest, was received today, stating
that forty families are starving, and
there is nothing to give them. The de-
spatch asked that assistance be sent i'm
msdiately. The same condition exists in
nearly all the eastern districts, and
about 2,SO0 families in St. Johns and the
suburbs who are in distress, are being
assisted by the relief committee as much
as possible. The clerical relief commit
tee today unanimously adopted resolu-
tions of thanks to the good people of
Boston aud New England for their haste
in replying to the appeal for assistance
from this place with such magnificent
donation OF food, which was SO badly
needed The Newfoundland government
is daily holding caucuses for tho purpose
of considering plan for confederation
with Canada Considerable opposition
among the party to the confederation is
expected, and a delegation from here will

Mark-Receipts Arc Increasing. e~

Washington, March II. The treasury
conditions for the first third of March,
shows that receipts aggregate So, 200.
and expenditures s11, 1854, 900. An ele-
ment of uncertainty not heretofore en-
tering into the treasury calculations has
now to be considered. 1t is the large
sums appropriated by Congress in the
deficiency appropriation bills and the
sundry civil appropriation bill. Many
of these items are made Immediately
available and the payment today of
S651 200 ON "civil and miscellaneous
shows that some have begun to reach
the cashiers desk. Customs receipts
show continued and sustained improve
ment, being for the fiscal year up to
date, sos, ,S77, 900, or nearly million
dollars more than at the same time last
year. The internal revenue receipts are
SIS, 600, 600 in excess of this time last year
and an Improvement in both sources of
receipts must be shown for the last third
OF the fiscal year, or the government
revenues for the entire fiscal year will
fall considerably below the estimates.
The treasury gold reserve at the
close of business today was $50, ,003, 600,
gain since yesterday of $3.50, ,633.
