OLAIMING CHIEFTAINSHIP, Oaptain Eicher Makes his Demand on the Old Ohief of the Fire Department, The newly-elected chief of the fire de- partment, Captain D, F. Eicher, has been taking matters very coolly, and there have been many conjectures as to why he has not made some demand for the possesslon of the office, whivh has been and still 1s held by the old chief, Charlle Walters, It has been thought that the mew chief has been walting for the squabble about the city clerkshlp to be eettled, thinking that one contest at a time was about all that his frlends in the councll cared t» handle, Since the city clerkship has been settled, howaver, this reason for de- 1ay no longer answered the publis curi- osity, and as a fresh explanation it has been given out that the captaln was sn asplrant for the posltion of deputy rev- enue collector at this point, and that if he succeeded In getting this he would not try to oust Walters from the position of chlef, bnt his explanation fail wer the parpose now, that Mr. Lange has bee tion of collecter. Whatever the reasons have been for delay, the captain has at last begun to act, and yesterdsy he made a demand on Walters,” 1t was no state occaslon, the two meeting on the sidewalk in front of Beohtele's hotel. The caplaln opened given the posl wi'h: Hello, Charlfe! Well have you gct ready to turn over the belt? You know the counell has elected me as the chief? 1 don’t care to bave any trouble about it, but eince I have been elected I suppose 1 might as well eerve.” ¢iNo, Dan, I haven't anything to tarn over to you., You see I was elected chlef for two ‘yesrs, under the ordinance, snd untll the council repeals that ordinance I don'c see how I can turn over anytnlny, 1 don’c blame you, but I intend to hold ou untll the council repeals the ordinance fixing the term for two years, and elects @ new chief, Then Il step out, unless the mayor vetoes the thing, and then the veto will have to be settled " & golog to give up the offics, then?
