AYARS TO BE CHAIRMAN. Another caucus has been held, aud the ques- tion of the Chuirmanship of the next Board may vow be said to be settled beyond any dis- pute. It was stated yesterday that there had Leen a caucus, but it was uot ustil yesterday morning that the reporter could get at what transvired. He was saunterine Teisurely along State strect hungry tor news, when he was hailed by an old friend with *Good morning; what’s the news?” The reporter.had 00 news, of course. He took a cigar with s friend, and both were' soon seated in the Palmer tulking about buuk failures aud_things. In tne course of conversation, the friend adverted to the County Board, and mentioned that & caucts ot the Republican members bad been held the duy before, and that one of the attendants had tokd Kim ait about it. ‘This w: cering to the reporter, and the puinp was applied at once. 1t did not take him lony to ascertain all that had taken place, and, inasmuch as it is news, it is aiven, ‘The caucus was held Friday afteruoon in the Morrison _ Building, corner of Madison and Clark street: and its object o settle the spute_about the Chair- wauship of the Board.

Mr. Ayars declared the Republican cutdidate. snd, mas- mueh as the Republicans hav b votes, a nowination is equivalent to un election; especi- ially is it 50 in the case of Ayars, for he is under- stood to have several Demovrats in the Board pledzed to vole for him, s soon as Ayars had been selected as the candidate he Wwas put uvon the stand and sub- jected to a rigid cross-examination, which wi deemed necessary in the face of the reports that he had made some pledges to the * Ringsters,” in the eveut of his election.

LIEB. PLAXNS FOR IIS CLERES. The commotiou amoug Liek’s employes con- tinues unabated, aud Yesterday things were at fever-heat, owing to 2 new dodge he was play- inzon them to make their contribution sure. He abandoned the scheme of baving them sign the original paper pledging themselves (o srive bim a $2 a day during the monty, because he did not believe be could collect it of thew, and he has bit on the device of forcing them to sien i 2 booi. where accounts ‘are kept with them, something atter this style: *Subscrip- tion |here foliows the name of the caployel, $52.% One of the practices of the office hus been to advance the men small sums of money from time to time, which are deducred trom their earnings av the end ol _the month, hence The men are com- and the vecessity of this buok. peiled to make ail tie entries themsely m making the “subscription ent 1o amoug Lhe other entries, the book convey the idea that they bave received the & which' is not the case, of cowrse, aud this amount—i{ Licb trets huld. of their pay at the cnd of the month—is to be deducted along with whatever advauces he may actuzlly bave made them. & 3 Ihe adoption of this scheme, the General thinks, will make him safe, and he now rests at case. But the men are of a diffcrent opinion, and (o not prapose it i nd be de- iled in any such w re induced to i the buok, they were af- forded an opportunity to carn 8 i day by working extra titue, whereas - they have been sretting but 34, but carain the 38 they wau it, ial they will Liave itatall hazards. cterday gonle were, 9s 2 first Ste petition to the County Board protesti the County Clerl’s pay-roll for the m: audited while Lich w pat their beads necessary money to hire an atiorney #z0 into court and have the County cnjoined from signine the together and raised the 1o vembcr pay, amd also from paviag an wmoney over to Lieb.

Late in the afternoon another scheme yas put on foot. by which z Licb anu_help make bim up; bis needed colleetion. It was in the shape of a subscription paper, which wus being passed around among the depities and what are known as “regular’” men. When seen by the reoorter it was headed with the name of Ander- son, Lieb's brother-in-law, who subseribed $109. Noone believes that Anderson will give Lich upe cent, hecause he is not able to, and the con- viction somehow settied over the poor men who arc about to be thrown out of employment that he had simply signed the document so sencr- ously as a bait to induce theothers to be equally liberal. As far asis known, however, they did ot respond very cheerfully, and it would puz- zle any one to puess why they should. THE FIREMEN. A NATIONAL TOURSAMEST. Fire-Marshal Benner has a project on foot by which he Liopes at once to gain glory for Chica- 10 and 1o extend useful knowledge m regard to ll'lflll' special business among the firemen of the United States. The plan contemplated Is the holding of a grand tourney at Dexter Park in the first week of Scptember, 1573, at which rep- resentatives from nearly every State in the Uniion arc_expected to be present. So far the scueme is iu cmbryo, butif the cfforis of the Marshat are properiy seconded, it cannot fail of being a success. In conversation with a Tris- renorter vesterday, Mr. Benner explained “The. inteniion_is to bave, under the spices of the State Association, s tourna- L in which firemen from the whole country can take part. We mean to give abuut $10,000 fu prizes, in addition_to a sitver belt for the best rupning time made by a hose compauy, and other prizes. The tournament will be beld at Dexter Park, which has been promised tor the oceasion, and Chicago will then see the big- gest turnout, in the way of appliances for ex- tinguishing fires, ever gotten togcther in this country. e expect tohave over 150 companics in line. Of coursc the . programme cannot be prepared Jor several inonths yet, but the _Association has been in correspoudence with the different Cnlefs and Fire Marshals of ali the principal cities, and a large proportion. of them have already respond- ed favorably,” give the bizest parade of the kind ever known. All the machinery will then be skipped out to Dester Park, and the first day will be given up to competition between hose companies. It is believed that there will be nearly a hundred of them, and two will run every five minutes in order to get through. They - will run 300 yards, and lay 300 fect of hose, and { expect the best time ever made will be Leaten. On't sceond and third days there will be competiy cuemical engines, and so on.” “Going toset a frame house on fire to.see bow quick vou can put out the blaze?”” “Yes, sir; that is just what we are going to do. It is proposed to charge 25 cents for admis- sion and 50 s for the quarter-stretch, and, if weather is good, the show can be made to The hotel-keepers are willing to co-oper- and will give reduced rates to all uniformed fircmen, and the same is expected of the railroad companies. Such gatherings are valuable in that they are the means of posting firemen as to the Mlitest improvements. Chicazo bias many things to show 1 this respect, und this may only be the beinning of a rezular” annual tour- nanient. But there s much to be done; the rules cannot be prepared before New Year’s, and it will be May before the programmes are issued. ANNOUNCEMENTS. W. 0.
