| vestlgation by the board OF aldermen.
A CHANGE IN SPECIALS.
Among the special officers whom Mayor
Higgins placed on duty this summer be-
cause OF absentees on the force was Offl-
Ger Marco Bisordi. The mayor left town
on Friday and on Saturday BIsordi was
informed that his services In this direc-
tion would be dispensed with. In his place
Henry Carpenter was assigned TO duty.
II is not known that any fault has been
found with Bisordi except that in recent
election campaigns his efforts. II he had
made any, have been devoted 10 the Dem
ocratic ticket and In the calendar OF
crimes which the Republican machine OF
which at the present time Acting Mayor
Wood is the mouthpiece. that is placed at
the very top.
There have recently been rumors 20 the
effect that Alderman Wood has broken
away from the machine, but those who
know Mr. Wood, who is now the acting
chief executive and who also knows
something about the machine, take but
little stock in this rumor. Perhaps after
the meeting OF the board of aldermen on
Wednesday night n better idea of the
conditions which exist can be learned.
STREET CAR TRAVEL.
The local street railway authorities had
their hands full TO accommodate the
crowds yesterday. The heat OF the early
morning caused the minds OF thousands
OF people living in this vicinity 20 turn
towards the shore resorts and the exodus
began at an early hour. The cars going
down the east side OF thu \bay were
crowded and So too, were the cars on
the city lines. More crowds came in from
the adjoining country and these helped to
keep Main street square pretty well filled
till late hour I'm the afternoon. So far as
learned there were no accidents OF any
Importance during the day
