dumping loose earth on the north side of AIbe-

Chief Pnrris, Contention.

]. NJ ofutt, hostler in the Fire Department,
was instructed TO do certain work by his fore
man some time ago and declined to take the
same view of the matter as his officer lie was
taken before the trial officer July Il last
and charged with violating the department
manual. Although he was declared not guilty
the Chief Of the Fire Department maintains that
the hostler's conduct was contrary to good order
and discipline. He asserts that while the hOstler
has charge of the horses of his company he
must report to and execute the orders of the
officer in charge of the company. Chief Paris
states that if members of the department are
permitted TO act as Offutt did without notice
being taken Of the fact discipline would soon
fall below the standard.

Evidence Furnished in the Case of
the ROumnnian's Ex-steward.

Evidence Furnished in the Case of
the Roumnnian's Ex-steward.
The hearing in the case of Steward Hugh
McClair, formerly of the transport Rou-
manian, charged with enbezzlement of
government property, was continued be-
fore the United States commissioner yes
terday
Capt Wrgley, quartermaster of the
transports concluded his testimony as to
the inventory prepared by McClair when
he first took charge of the transport. Two
other witnesses Clerk Moore and Second
Steward Doyle testified for the govern
ment, principally as to an inventory Of
the silverware taken after Steward Nc
Clair had been discharged. According to
the Two Inventories some of the silver
ware chat was on the boat when Capt
Wrigley took charge was missing.
The position of The government, repre-
senied by Lieut.. Col. j. 3. Bellnger was
that the eX-steward was responsible for
this siiverware, and should be held TO an
swer to the charge preferred. In his state
ment, the defendant said that he had
never signed any receipt for the property
In his department., denied ihat he had
ever in any way disposed of any of the
missing articles. and showed that there
were numerous opportunities for employees
and others on the vessel 20 make way
with it. It is also an easy matter for
such articles to be lost. The defense, rep
resented by Judge A. H. MacDonell, claim
ed that the most that could be made OF
the case, under the evidence, was a mat
ter of peculiarly responsibility for the ar
ticles which could not be found. As a
matter of fact however. he did not think
the defendants liability could go as far
as this, since no receipt had ever been re-
quired of him, ana it had not been shown
that all the silverware had been found and
included ia the last inventory.
The commissioner took the case under
advisement, and will render a decision
within a day or two.

PILOTS REPORTS DIFFER.
Statements of Drafts of Transports
VARY Prom the GOVERNMENTS
Absolutely Pure

Statements of Drafts of Transports
Vary From the Governments.
There are some slight differences in the
reports of the pilots as to the draft Of
the transports on their successive trips
from here and those recognized by the
government as Official. In some instances
the government reports give a somewhat
larger draft than the Pilots, but on
the deepest draught that of the Chester
both agree Two officials, Capt Werner
and Capt. Douglass, take the draft
for the government. Each of them makes
a report to Col. Bellinger as to The draught
of the vessel when she reaches her wharf
and what she draws when loaded before
leaving the wharf. These reports go into
the official log book, which gives a COM
plete record of the cargo, etc, and it is
only these reports that the government
recognizes.
Inasmuch as the pilots and the govern
ment representatives agree as to the deep
est draught 1t is of immaterial conSe-
quence as to whether there is difference
of an inch of more on the light draft
vessels. But for the sake of comparison
the draughts from both reports are here
given:
