The Martins Ferry knight Tenn
plars have received a letter from w. G..
~Burganthal, of Hope Commandery, at
st. ~Clairsville, thanking the knights of
this city for their h%ospitable treatment
on Ascension Day. The members of
the order in this city are certainly
worthy of much praise and they highly
appreciate this letter.
The Vigilant Hose Company cele-
brated their thirteenth anniversary last
evening at their hose house. Almost
all the members We're present, also the
officers of the department were in at
tendance. The members were accom-
panied by their wives and ladies. An
elegant supper vas served and the
committee certainly aid themselves
proud, and as it was the unlueky num-
Der of their anniversary, it seemed
every one worked harder TO make it a
success. Speeches were made by Chief
Ong anu VIM. Joy and others. The
evening was a very enjoyable one, all
having a good time.
The charges made by Officer Brown
against the appointment of Charles
Bailey as policeman for the new adj
m~inistration, seems to be considerably
mixed. The charge is conduct unbe-
coming an office. When this charge
was made to Council, Bailey's confr-
nation was held up, but later he was
confirmed, before tie charge had been
heard. Friday night the board of re-
vision, consisting of the Mayor, City
Solicitor and President of Council,
were to meet and consider these
charges, Mayor Goodhue failed to call
any witnesses together and no meeting
was held. A report has been ~circulat-
ed that such board has no power or is
legal. This is a mistaken idea, as this
board can act. But the trouble is. if
Bailey is guilty of the charge, it was
in former administrations and not in
this, and the case properly belongs in
the courts, as a policeman is only held
for what he does during the present adj
m~inistration. and his wrong acts prior
to this brings him up as only a citizen.
The condition of the case now does
neither Brown or Bailey justice. and
something should be done so that the
public would know the facts and JUS
tice be given all
