Since early in September the work of recruiting the regiment and getting the men in shape has progressed rapidly and the colonel and his officers have every reason for feeling elated over what has been accomplished. Col Murray was a graduate from West Point In 1874, second in his class. His first assignment was to the first artillery and he graduated at the head of his class at Fortress Mcnroe.

He was on duty with the regiment until 1881, when he was assigned to West Point as assistant professor of philosophy till 1886.

Sutton, while mayor, to remove him and appoint a democrat In his stead Chief of Police L. J. Smith held his job. Another chapter in the story appeared a few days ago when the ex-mayor was indicted for slandering the supreme court, the alleged slander having consisted of defa'matory remarks uttered by the ex-mayor when the decision by the court sustaining the chief in office was announced. Now the chief is In.

Some time ago certain charges were brought against him and referred by the board of aldermen to the police commissioners. The police commissioners have just reported. One of the charges was that Chief Smith visited a room in the Exchange block with a woman and the other that he made certain unprintable remarks to two Rutland policemen. The board of police commissioners Is composed of two democrats, James E. Burke and A.

G. Crane, and one republican, W. L. Burnap. The majority report recommends that the mayor dismiss Chief Smith as "a man unfit to hold an office whose object is to maintain law ana order" while the minority report holds that the commissioners should make no recommendation Inasmuch as the faults consisted "chiefly of gross lm proprieties of speech and conduct rather than overt acts established by any other evidence than his own vulgar boasting."
