Columbus, o., Sep. II. = The
question of civil service provision
for fire and police departments was
before the code committee Tuesday af-
ternoon, but was not concluded when,
the committe recessed to Wednesday.
1t was taken up by Subcommittee
and will be referred back to the code
committee within few days. The
question upon which the members dis
agree is whether 1t should be pro-
vided by commission appointed by
the mayor or a commission appointed
by the governor and acting under a
state commission, who shall formulate
all the questions and make the re-
quirements necessary 1t is feared by
some that a civil service system that
is purely local is more liable to be cor
ruptod by local influence than a COM
mission appointed under the auspices
Ga state DOdrd.
THE STATE SYSTEM.
Metzger is of the opinion that bet
ter service would be had if the state
system were adopted. He will be glad
to hear from his constituents on this
proposition, as will Pollock and Sena-
tor Wilhelm.
l...t Ill
men and policemen now in the cit. 8
employ should be exempt from the
examinations but provision will be
made that they may be removed from
the employ Of the city at any time,
whole scheme will be worked out with
in the next few days.

Smaller Buildings Destroyed.

ING THE CONFEDERATION.

A TLANTIC CITY, y. J., April s.
4 Twelve hotels and more than a
score of small buildings adjoining
the board walk, which is built along
the ocean edge, were destroyed today
by a fire which swept the beach front
for two long blocks from Illinois ave-
nue. to New York avenue.
The loss, it is believed, win exceed
S1,50O000. In this respect the COnflag-
ration is the most disastrous that has
ever visited this city. The loss will
be only partly covered by insurance,
as the rate Of 3 per cent charged by
the insurance companies on property
here is regarded as almost pTOhibitive.
No lives were sacrificed, though prob
ably a dozen persons were slightly in
jured and burned during the progress
of the fire. It was reported early in
the afternoon that six men had per-
ished in the flames, but the rumor was
without foundation. The origin Of the
fire is unknown, but it is said to have
started in either Brady's baths or the
Tarlton hotel, which adjoins the baths
at Illinois avenue and the board walk.
The city tonight is guarded by COM
pany OF militia, who were requested
by the municipal authorities to aid the
police in the prevention of looting.
About dozen men were arrested dur
ing the day for robbery.
The hotels destroyed and their esti-
mated losses are: The Luray and an

Norwood, owned by J. 5. White & Son,
