LIEUT.. kELLY's SUCCESSOR.
IntimatiOn That Sergeant Moore will
Be Promoted.

To the members of the police force who
did not know in advance of the request
made by Lieut.. Kelly yesterday for a re-
duction and detail on account of his health,
the news of his action came in the nature
of complete surprise. His friends knew
he had been in poor health for some time
but they had hoped for his speedy recovery
and resumption of his duties. Because of
his long continued illness. however the
lieutenant concluded the department would
be benefited by the advancement of a
younger man to the position he has held
SO long.
1t was the intention of Mai Sylvester to
ask the Commissioners to pass today upon
the changes which will follow Lieut. KEEL
iys reduction but he said this afternoon he
would not be able to have them acted upon
until Monday. 1t is stated that Lieut.. Kelly
Is to be detailed at police headquarters The
name of his successor was not announced
this afternoon, but it is believed by many
members of the police force that Sergt
Moore Of the first precinct will receive the
promotion.

Evidence Brought Out at Inauest a.
A. Finberx's Remains

TORONTO, Ontario. January Cat the
inquest held on the body of Abraham Fin
berg. the Chicago commercial traveller, who
Killed himself in Rossin House bed room
last Thursday, startling evidence was given
by J. Mallett, restaurant keeper, He said
mat F1nberg came to his place on New
Year day He acted strangely and talked
OF having caused the death of woman in
Chicago and of being divorced from his
wife. On Tuesday Finberg produced roll
of bills, and. rendering Mallett a $50 note
asked the amount of his board bill The
VIII witness said that Finberg must have had

covered, the evidence of Mallett has caused

This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
A majority of the messenger boys en-
pioyed by the Western Union Telegraph
Company decided this morning to inaugu-
rate a strike, the movement to go into eff
feet this afternoon at 3 clock. The boys
claim that they have been badly treated
by the clerk in charge of that branch Of
the service. They say that due bills have
been issued against them when they hap
pened TO overstay their time on a trip, and
they consider that hardship. The striking
contingent was noticeable on the streets of
the city this afternoon on the lookout for
recruits.
Manager Campbell. when seen by a Star
reporter, stated that he did not anticipate
any trouble from the striking element and
that he had provided fully for the contin-
gency. He said the service would not he
crippled as he had a number of boys on
hand who would take the place of those
who refused to go to work

In the United States and Canada las,
year hre destroyed property to the extent
of $136. 77s. 200. an Increase of more than
$17. O0O. 900 over the losses of 1898 and more
than ST. 200 over those of 1897.
Why this enormous loss? Especially why
this phenomenal increase of loss from year
to year? In the cities. where nearly ali the
fires occur, we are supposed to be building
more and-more In fireproof ways and al
the same time improving our means of pre-
venting and extinguishing fires by the
lavish expenditure of money, public and
private. Is it all to no purpose? Why is
it that, instead Of decreasing. our fire losses
increase SO enormously every year?

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION,

A reference to the statement be-

1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands which are. re-
turnable. and which are, in fact, re-
turned. but nevertheless are In
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
