Neiils bad a year to serve when he
was removed, and be sued to recover
the amount of Hilary due lilm at the
time suit was begun, claiming that
his removal war. illegal. In deciding
against Neuls. Judge Carpenter said:
"It Is contended on the part of the
plaintiff that the legislature lias no
power to enact a law nuthorlxlng the
removal of a public ollleer before the
cad of a term for which he was elecud
and Article 2, section 1". and Article
ti, section I, of the constitution relied
upon to support that contention.
"The find provides. 'No law shall ox
tend the term nf any public ollleer or
Increase or diminish bis salary r
emoluments, after his election or ap
pointment.' And the latter, 'that all
ollicers elected by the people, except
governor, lieutenant governor, nieni-
iu.-h
of the general assembly and
judges of the courts of record learned
In the law, i-hall be removed by the
governor for reasonable cause, nft-T
due notice and lull bearing, or an ad
dress of two-thirds of tlie senate.
"It is argued that city assessors are
elected by the people and are within
the class of public olllcers contem
plated by the constitution, and cannot
be removed except in the maimer pre
scribed in the section quoted.'
"The olliee of city assessor is not one
ot those which are usually denomin
ated constitutional. It is not men
tioned in i he constitution, and no pro
vision is made therein for the election
of such on ollleer. As was said in
commonwealth vs. Mc-l'ombs, 50 Pa.,
Kill, by Strong, jr., referring to the of
lleo of district attorney prior to the
adoption of the constitution: 'Not
having been mentioned by the consti
tution, the legislature was left with
unrestricted powers lo prescribe what
the duties of the otllcc should be, anil
what tin length of its tenure. '
Having the power to create, they h;: e
also the pow'cr to regulate, and ecu
destroy, t'ndoubtedly the legislature
may al any moment repeal the act of
isr.il and abolish tin
olliee. They may
for it. " ' The
provide a substitute

it was said by Mitchell, J la an
other ease quoted: 'The right to an
olhce is not the right of the Incum
bent to tb" place, but of the people to
the olliee, All olllce, therefore, not
constitutional, exists by the will of the
legislature only and may lie abolished
at any time and the Incumbent has no
standing lo complain.'
"A cltv anses-or, not being a consti
tutional ollleer. there call be no qllcs
lion under the authorities cited thai
I lie legislature may provide for bis re
moval from olllic,
"It Is provided in the schedule to ibe

ami It follows that his removal was

organization was demonstrated beyond
question. The building is surroiindul
on all sides by old wooden
structures
and had the flumes once got beyond
control n mint serious conflagration
would in all probability have resulted.
Tin. lire was discovered at 12.15
o'clock by Patrolman Louis llociiitz,
who noticed smoke pouring out from
the transom of Berghauser & Stapl s'
store. He turned in an alarm from
!!ox 2ul, at Spruce street and Wyoming-
avenue, and the central city com
panies, in oonyunnd of Chief H. F.
Ferhcr, were soon on the scene.
When the firemen arrived, the base
ments of the two stores were tilled
with a mass of flames, and the store
of I'.erghauser Staples, who deal in
draperies, was well ablaze. The flames
were ab-o creeping up through the
floors In the rear, and were just break
ing through the roof.
CHIUP IN CI1AHGK.
Chief Forber ordered two lines of
hose on the roof from Centre street,
another Into the front of the drapery
stoic and a fourth Into the basement
I'iomi the southerly side. It looked for
a few lu'nul s as If the lire would win
oui but it was gradually got under
control without an Inch of steamer
pressure and was practically extin

Chief Fcrber says that tlie lire orig

Kerghauser and Staples, but Is at a
loss to explain how. The two stores,
both basement and llrst floor, were
completely gutted, but the second and
third floors were practically unharmed

the flames ate their way tip at tlie out

than a hundred worklngmeii answered
the call of the local committee of the

illegal. The meeting' was peaceful and
only mild addresses were made,
Santiago Igleslas, president of the

explained the object of his visit here,
and it was resolved to petition Gover

San Juan, to use his influence to bring
about the removal of the two native
