Now It is in the Fire Departmont

That We Are to Have an Investigation.

The tire- department. has again come to tho front with a caw to ho settled by the fire committee, and an investigation will occur tiiihi afternoon at 3 o'clock. Chief liuuter charges llobert Cowan, driver of No. hose reel, with neglect of duly in not properly caring for his team. The charges specify that Cowan did not feed tho horses at noon yesterday ad his duties as driver require. Cowan claims that when Chief Hunter took charge of the department he issued an order to the effect, that all the drivers should enre for their respective teams and that no one should he allowed to interfere in any way whatever in this direction. In consequence of tliin order Cowan lias heretofore hail exclusive control of his team. It seems the horses when purchased were inclined to balk after being hitched up when alarms were turned in, and that at times it was necessary tn lead them out of the house. Cowan labored some timo to break them of this and finally succeeded. Last week ho was oiT duty several days, having obtained a leave of absence to make a visit, and on his return found that tho team had balked every time a rip out of tho house had been attempted while ho was absent. llo immediately Ret to work to again break them. Ho thought, it necessary to

the apparatus ami drive

out of the house for exercising. Conse- I |uently, ho sprang the latches, the horses took their places, were hitched to the reel, and he drove out of the house. Mr. S"an Ian, acting foreman of tho

O'B

company, t'.aid that Chief Hunter had I ordered that tho team should not be exercised more than once a week, which had already been done, and that he hail better return to the house. Cowan replied that he had charge of tho team by tin chief's orders, and that bethought it, necessary to mako tho run in order to break the team of the old habit. -SeanIan then agreed to go with tho compHuv on the trip, ami had put on his coat for the purposo, when Chief Hunter uamo up and! ordered Cowan to take tho team back into the stablo. nvan asked if he had not been given exclusive control of his team, and Hunter replied that tha order iiad boon countermanded and that tho foreman of tho company now had control of the entire company. Homo words passed between the chief and tho driver and some spirit was displayed. The matter ended by Cowan returning the team to the house. When tho timo eamo to feed the horses C.v.van waited for orders from his foreman as to the amount of feed to bo given, and no orders coming tho team was not fed. On hearing of tho matter Hunter filed the charges bororo tho committee, at tho same time suspending Cowan until the comniitteo should take some action.

Tho decree was granted by the court. Balue afterwards married again and now has a wife and two children. Alice L., formerly Miss Jared, of North Eighteenth street, alleges in her complaint that she was in Kansas and did not know until quite recently that the divorce had been granted. She also alleges that there was fraud in its procurement. Mr. Baluo, who is a well known real estate man, says hohas letters in his possession showing that Alice was aware of the divorce. lie further states that sho did not have any property, and that ho gave her a farm i:i Kansas. The case will bo called at this term of court and will bo watched with interest awing to the peculiarity of the proceedings, and on account of tho parlies being well known in tho city.

A novel and interesting entertainment Is contemplated tor the wild west arena by way of a display of ancient and modern Italian sports, and It Is more than probable that on the ground now occupied by the Indian village v.lil be erected an old Italian street repicsenilng various styles of Italian design.

PAKIS, October 13.—The council of generals which was appointed for the purpose of trying General Caffarel on the charge preferred against hiin for selling civil decorations has pronounced the accused guilty of habitual dishonorable conduct.

It is rumored that the cabinet to-day will discuss the question of whether General Boulanger shall not be removed

against from his command for statements made by him to reporters attacking the government.

It was decided by the council to place General Caffarel on the retired list of the army. The decree for the execution of the decision will be submitted by General Ferron, minister of war. to President Grevv for his signature.

General Ferron telegraphed to General Boulanger, at Montlucon. ordering him to return forthwith to his headquarters. and asking if tho words attributed to him by the newspapers in connection with the Caffarel affair were correctly reported. The newspapers alleged that General Boulanger informed a reporter that he never doubted but that thi was ai ho defied the minutest inquiry into his conduct, and said that if he had been minister of war and General Caffarol had avowed his guilt to him, he would havo offered a revolver with which to blow out his brains.

A MYSTERY SOI.VEI).

Th« 'ew York World Uncovers the Dexter, Maine, Hank Murder. XEW YORK. October 13.—Just before sundown on the night of Washington's birthday, February 22, 1878, the National I and State Savings bank of the town of Dexter. Maine, was robbed, and tho treasurer, J. W. Barron, was assaulted, and his almost lifeless body found bleeding and unconscious in the bank vaults. Although the great iron doors of the safes were wide open, their contents

were undisturbed, and the only booty secured by the robbers was about 8200 in money and a?o00 bond which was not negotiable, and which was taken from the cash drawer. For more than nine years the murder of Treasuser Barron and the history of the robbery have remained an unfat'honable mystery. In the interval designing or malicious persons started the theory that Mr. Barron, fearing exposure for aileged defalcations, had committed suicide. This theory obtained such currency in Dexter that the widow has been socially ostracized by a large proportion of her neighbors there. The New York World has been investigating the case, and has secured a confession from Charles Francis Stair that fastens the murder ou David Stair.

Tho vault door wa6 unlocked, and the cashier was apparently arranging to count the funds and verify his account's. Stair at once struck him several blows with a slung-shot, rendering him unconscious, and Cromwell then came up and helped Stair gag and bind tho senseless man. The robbers did not dare to stay to ransack the vault. They took a key from Barron's pocket, opened the cash drawer and took the lose cash and hurriedly fled.

The other members of the gang had been on watch in and near the building, and, on learning that the cashier had been slain, they decided to tlee. Voung Stair had waited a few miles away with the wagon. All found their way thither and drove to Salem, Me., where they separated. They did not learn that Barron was dead until the uext day. Voung Stair heard of tho details of the robbery from his father and Cromwell. He believes that some of the gang started tfio etory of Harron's defalcation in order to divert suspicion from themselves.

BOSTON, 13.--At about 8:40 o'clock this morning Stair and Cromwell were taken from their cells and Stair was handcuffed to Sheriff Mitchell while Cromwell was handcuffed to the sheriff's son. The prisoners were then driven to the eastern railroad station anil taken on the train, which left at 9 o'clock for Maine. At the station it soon became known who the prisoners were and great efforts were raado to see th«m. At 9 o'clock the train moved out of the station and the men were on their way to Dexter, the scene of tho terrible tragedy for which they will be called upon to answer.
