Romeothing About tho Onndidntes Spo« ken of an Conncction with tho Vas eant Offico m= Wright == Batcham == Renner==Bullwinkilc-=Sweenie == Ags= Thelr Reocord and Qualificntions. * ‘Tho important position of Firo Marshal has yot to bo pormanently filled ; snd, in viow of tho publio inlorosts to bo entrusted to tho care of tho “coming man,” nll claascs of citizons feol anxious about him, Tho Mayor scoms to undor- atand and thoroughly nppreciato tho faot that 410 offico nt his disposal is no ordinary one, and that its many functions cannot bo digcharged by every man who imaginos himoelf pecullarly fittod for tho pinco. Ho hns prudently doforred making s nomination uniil ho can find & porson who ia Intolloctually and physically capable of governing suol sn important part of tho muniei- pal machinory aa tho ¥ire Departmont, aud one * who hins tho confidonco and respact of tho entiro connnunity. - Sevoral names havo slready beon montioned, but thore scoms to bo an Obstaclo in tho woy of oach that {8 almost insurmountablo, It {s undorstood that the Mayor would be grat- ified it Col. Lovi I, Wright, Polico Commission- or, would accopt tho nomination. That gontle- man, howover, hns positively declined the honor, belug, 88 ho himself oxprossos it, '*too old and too fat to rush around after firos now.” If tho law could be changod 80 that tho Obief Marshal would not bo compol- led to attond fires outside of a limitod district,— tho business portion of tho city, for instanco,— unless summoned by a second alarm, the probas bility ia tho Colonel would take the placo. Ex-Ald. W, B. Batoham s also understood to Do anothor of the Mayor's favorites for Marshal,- hio having been a firoman of some distinction in hin youngor days, sud at all timos o man of strict babits aud unimponchable intogrity, DBut ho doosu’t * hankor after tho pomtion. Like Col. ‘Wright, ho says ho {8 *“old and rather stiff,” and it wouldw't do for bim to goolimbing laddors ox- copt in nu omorgoney. If tho hoad of tho Do- partment was not bound by law to answer every alarm, he might take tho placo, and dovote his * timo principally totho finsncial portion’ of the duties. ‘I'ho objcctions raisod by these two gontlomen aro suggestivo of o paragraph which mny be of interoat to' thoso who rond it., " Obica~ g0 Iy about tho uulixcity in tho conntry which compals tho Chief Marahal of tho Fire Dopart- mont to rush off every time tha firo-boll riogs night or dny. In overy othor firat-clase city the Assistant Marshala nre supposed to bo capablo of handling an incipiont fire or a smoky chim- oy, and the principal officor, unless In tho cvont of n socond alarm, nover attonds o firo outsido of the business portion. Under this rula heis ahvays present to take charge of his men and spparatus whoro a hend is most noeded. Undor tho rulo which obtains in thia city, the Chiof arshal and tho First Assistant moy bo working on o firo at tho Bouth Bido limits whilo anothor and more dangerous one is in progross in the heart of the businocss noction. Tho third man who is E‘mmhwntly namod in connoction with tho Chiof Marshalship is Matthins Bonnor, tho First Assistant Marshal, who is now temporarily filling tho vacaucy caused by the romoval of Williame, His chances are rather slim, howover, aa tho Mayor scoms detormined not to appoint a momber of 4he Do- partment. Bonnor, though o comynm!ivelly young man, {8 o firoman eof fificon yenrs' axperi- enco, and during tho groater portion of that timo hns held posftions of trust and rosponsibil- ity. Ho hns boon an Assistant Marshal for yeurs, and carriod tho Dopartment on his Bhoulders when its late bLend was not in tho bost possible condition to mansgo it. His_frionds, and their namo is logion, in- clude prominent citizons and tho ontirs Firo Dopnrtment. Thoy aro working dilligenty to socuro his appointment, basing bis clatma on hia record for officioncy, on his strictly tompor-~ ato habits, and on the mauner in_which he ex- tinguishod the fire in tho Singor Block tho othor uvcnini. ‘Bon Dullwinkle, the Captain of tho Fire Insur- anco Patrol, is also an aspirant to the position, and is strongly backed by tho Board of Undor- writers, The insurance mon claim that ho is by nll odds the best and most rolinblo firoman in tho city, and are leaving no stone unturned to Bocuro his elevation to” the Marshalslip, Dele- gations of thom haye waited on the Mayor day gfter day sinco tho vacancy was crented, and be has listonod pationtly to thom whilo' thoy dilated on tho merits of their favorito. It did scom &% ono time as if Hig Ionor would gend Bullwinkle’s name to the Council, but he refrainod whon lio learned that o numbor of Al- deymen would opposo him on tho ground of {n- exporienca. 1la may yot roceive tho nomination, bowaver. Bullwinklo's firat connection with the Fire Departmont datos back six or soven yoars. . He drove U. . Harrie’ wagon, and when Willinms was made Marshal, ho droye his. He was o drivor when the Board of Undorwritors conceived the iden of organizing an Insuranto I’atrol simi- lar to thoso in Eastern citios, and through tho influcnco of Williams nnd othors ho was' mado Captain of tho Company. Ho gathored around him nt the start somo of tho best mon connected with the Fire Departmont, and with thoir nssist- snco placed the TPatrol on an officient footing. It has grown in wsofulness over since, und is to-day ono of the best organizatious of tho kind in tho country, It is nlmost unnocos- gary to toll the people of Chioago that the duty of Lho Patrol ia to rescuo goods from n burning building, to cover with taipauling asuch goods ny thoy cannot rescuo, and to tako charge of and swcop out tho building when the Firo Depart- ment leaven it, Doyond this, it has no connec- tion with n fire. Tho Underwritora fool - proud of Bullwinklo for the sorvices ho has rendored mbnlm’ =ud will make the city roward him if pos- siblo. Dounis J. 8woenio, foreman of o North Side engmo company, is montioned in connection with tho _position. o was Cbief Marshal of tho old Velunteor Departmont, nnd managed tho Paid Department for a short timo ufter its organization. IIo lins dovoted nonrly his wholo lirufi) the business, and undoratands it thor- oughly. Mr. Frank A[;ncw, it is undorstood, has also ontered tha fleld, and is supported by strong recommendations, Ho is ono of tho old-timo firomen, and is-the Premdent of the Volunteer Tiromen's Association, . It.is hard to tell what Bhow ho standa, if any, but o ho is nn excood- ingly practical man, nud a buildor of good repu- tation, his claims are lkely to meot with a re- spoctful honving, Last, but by 10 menns least, comes Dotoctive Jos Dixon. 1lia object iu desiring to drop tho hand-cufls and pick up the trumpet is imper- foctly undorstood at this writing, but that™ doos not alter tho faot that ho in a - condidato for Marshal. His nomo hina been brought to the nitontion of the Mayor by men of high standing in the community, who acom to think that the practieal qualitios which o posscsses will oarry him through Iis Honor's oftico and through the Council with ilying colora. ‘I'ho susponse canuot last long now. Anap- pointment will hiavo to bo mado “next Monday ovening, as the Mayor promised it in his com- munication to the Council on tho removal of Willinms. There is no means of ascortaining the nanie likely to bo thrown on tho cold chari- ties of the Aldermon, for the mouth of him who fits in tho oxecutive chair is closed, oven like an oyster, on the subjoect, and tho statements of othors ora nothing but mero conjecturas, diotated in nearly overy instance b{ portonal fecling, All that can be dono is to walt. —_— MR.

Tho froight conductor, Arthur Briggs, started immediately after recolv- ing tho order, and, supposing that ho bad omplo timo to roach - Downor'a Grovo iu advance of the passenger, fan his train, ‘which was mado up principally of live stock cars, slowly. Whon tho pnssenger train arrived ab annrvmu, its conductor, Goorge Williams, was told by tho tolograph-oporator that the freight train had beon atobied about ten minutes, and to koep a shiarp look out for it,as the morning was oxcoodingly foggy.

Tho engi- noor and firoman of the passonger train jumped from their locomotive boforo tha collision, and woro gomowhet hurt in falling. Tho occupauts of tho passenger train escaped unscathod, and tho train itsell was not much injured. Doyond tho broaking of n headlight, tho bonding of a fow rods, and the cracking of some platforms, no damagoe was_done. 1t in probablo that the neoidout would have occurred avon if tho froight train carried & night lan ontho rear car, s tho paasonger rusiiod on 1t from bohiud & ourvo that it hid from view. It is stated that tho pas- nongor conductor eaid after tho aceidont that ho bad intonded to toll his engincer that the froight was ahead when Lo got in motion, and was about doing 8o whon the crash oceurred. Arthur ‘Brigge, the unfortunate freight conductor, lived in Aurora, whoro ho leaves o wife aund child. ‘I'ha drover bolonged wost of Omashas.
