HELD HIS PAY.
The City Receiver Refuses to Pay Henry
Frohme for His Services as Fireman.

Frohme for His Services as Fireman
The City Receiver yesterday refused to
pay Henry Frohme, ladder man at the
Hook and Ladder house. his wages for the
full month. the amount of his check being
in payment only until the time that Coun-
ell failed to confirm Chief Klieves' trans
fer of Frohme from the Eighth ward to
the Hook and Ladder house. The Chief is
determined that Frohme shall get his
money. as the latter is still in the fire
department and has never been dis
charged. The Chief believes justly that
the action of the City Receiver in holding
back Frohme's money is unwarranted, and
that Frohme should be paid for his SER
vices until he IS removed, which can only
be done by the Chief or by charges being
preferred against him and substantiated.
