Charleston. w. Va, April 26.-The
constitutional committee spent nearly
the whole of to-day's session in discuss
ing the question whether to leave to
the Legislature the fixing of the salaries
of State officers.
A great deal of fine oratory was heard
from several members. and also an ad-
dress by Judge Brannon, of the SUI
preme Court, on the question
Judge Brannon said our present con-
stitution was good one. Its only
weakness was that it covered such
matters as belonged to the Legislature.
The fixing of salaries was, he said,
purely legislative function and should
not be put into a constitution.
The committee was unable to come
to a satisfactory conclusion upon the
question, and the further consideration
of It was postponed until the 18th Of
May.
A resolution was taken up and
adopted, providing that the committee
on Thursday next take a recess till
Tuesday, May 10. Mr. Hansford left to-
day for his home to attend to import
ant business.
Col Fast will leave for his home to-
morrow.
Senators Baker and Dotson are also
absent, and will not return before the
committee takes a recess.

rHF BOILER INsPEcToRsHIP
A Complication Has Arisen Over the
Appointments

A complication has arisen over the
election of the city boiler inspector, and
his deputy. In order that the best tai
ent might be secured, the city council
appointed an examining board of well
known engineers to examine the appli-
cants. The board, in order to be abso-
lutely fair, adopted system by which
they did not know the men receiving the
highest score until after all the answers
had been figured out. After ihshad been
done IL was found that of the sixteen
applicants w. A Milstead had the high
est percentage, c. ]. Dali second, E. w.
Church third and Mr.. Little fourth. I'm
der the ruling adopted by the council, the
applicant standing the highest was TO
be elected inspector and the second, Dep
uty. After the announcement was made
by the examining board the antecedents
of the men were looked up, and it was
discovered that Mr.. Milstead was ineli-
gible, he being a resident of Redondo.
This being the case Mr.. Dali would be
entitled to the first place and Mr.. Church
to the second, but the third man declines
TO take the second place at the salary,
$75, and thinks that as he ranks Dali
in years of service he should be given
the preference, and Dali take the sec
ond place, which would of course leave
out Little, the fourth man. The coun-
ciimen have been trying to adjust the
matter, and one plan suggested has been
to amend the ordinance by making the
pay for the first place 500 per month
and the scond 500. at which figure it is
stated that it will be accepted by Mr..
Church This, however, has not beer
agreed upon as yet The matter will
come up in the council today.
