 Electric Iron Starts Fire.
 The meeting of the board of fire commissioners to be held in the city council chamber Friday evening will find several matters of importance decided upon, chief among which will be the appointment of captain to succeed Herbert Kittell, who died suddenly early in the month. Several names have been mentioned in con- nection with the vacancy, but Chief John H. Hayes has not made known the name of the lieutenant who will be promoted to fill the vacancy.
 It is, however, believed that the choice will rest between Lieutenant Clarence Lysaaght of the Welch fire company and Lieutenant Will liam Lamb of the central fire station. Lieutenant Lysaasht is the ranking officer and for number of years was stationed at the headquarters of Hose Company No. on North Main street. He was transferred to Forest ville when the new fire station on Pennington avenue was opened.
 Lieutenant Lamb has since his appointment been stationed at the central fire station. Both men are admirably fitted for the post of cap- tain in the opinion of fire board officials.
 IL is also proba ble that at Friday nights meeting lieutenant will be appointed to fill the vacancy created by the promotion of either Lieuten- ant Lysaaght or Lieutenant Lamb. It is problematical whether seniority will rule in the appointment as the records of all those considered for the post will be carefully scanned by the members of the board.
