teen days pay for leaving the engine

him or not. Captain Harms at once tele-
phoned to Chief Conway about the occur
renee. and the Chief came directly from
his stable to the engine house which IS
situated on Ninth street, between Grove
| and Henderson streets.
In the meantime Cassidy had returned
and the Captain told him that the Chief
would be there in a few minutes, and
| Cassidy then said he didn't care. Chief
| Conway suspended him from duty until
| the Board met last evening when his case
was reported to the Commissioners.
If it had not been for the good reputa-
ton that his own Captain gave him pc
| fore the Commissioners. stating that he
had never been offensive to him, and had
| always lone his duty since he had been
in the house, he certainly would have
| been discharged from the Department.
President Mills In imposing the hne
| upon Cassidy, told him that if he ever
was brought before the Board again his
case would be dealt with more seriously
| than it was last evening. President Mills
| then reprimanded him severely, and al
/ lowed him to, return to duty.

| ed guilty to the charge of running over
| the hose. but said he was not in fault. as
| No. 2 steamer was just in front Of him,
| and as there was a very heavy fog and
the smoke from the tender was In front
of him he did not know hat the fire was
so near, and consequently If he had no
ticed the line he could not help running
over it.
Assistant Chief Denmead stated Mar
key was a very careful man at his Work
and the Commissioners discharged the
charges against him.

reports made by the Fire Marshal in re-
gard to the storing of kerosene oil and
