Ne matter where be gees be In Interviewed by some one In the Interest et one of the stray can didates for the t .ffleei In bis gift They go te bit pIsce et business, te fall borne end watch for him en the street. The ether day be could net be found In fclaaocua fclaaecua fclaaocua temod plsces and number of Interested parlles, wbe were anxious te aee bias, con cluded te watt for him near bis place of butlnctp. It was amusing te aee then etand about in the rain. One candidate was wailing for hlra In front of his shop deer, tecend was at bla office deer, a third was at the corner of Orange and Market, and a fourth at Market and Grant street The genial esptatn must have known these partlM were waiting for him, for he remained away from bis shop all of that day. The weary cacdldatee finally be came disgusted and left The politicians were for Edgerley in the last campaign because they believed tbey could dictate the appointments. In that tbey were disappointed, for In a number of instances be has plainly tela some 01 we eesi workers that be could de nothing for them. The politicians new ey the new mayor would appoint tbelr men but he is afraid of the New Era pitching into him, and te have the geed will of that paper he will go back en Ills best friend, without whose aid heoeuld net have secured the nomina tion. TUK CHIEF OP POLICE. It la about practically settled tbatPhlllpL. Spreeber will be the chleref police. This appointment is particularly d Wasteful te some of Edgerley'a warmest friends in the Sixth ward and they have taken occasion te tell blm se, but be cannot be moved. The names el half a dczsn geed men have been handed te the new mayor from which te select any one In preference te Spreeher, but be cannot be prevailed upon te ebange - bis position up te-the present time. Berne el BprecTier's political enemies still hope te be able te show the mayor that the appoint ment is net a geed one ; their show of sue cess Is small. One et the strongest arguments used against the appointment et Sprecher is that he has been a persistent officeholder since the days of Mayer Stauffer. While chlet of pollce the Intelligencer was obliged te call attention en a number et occasions te his derelictions. He wept from that cilice te the government service, from there te the prison, from which latter pest. Hen be will retire en Monday next He was beaten for re-election aa underkeeper by the Inlluonce et the same men who are new trying te prevent bis appointment He has been considered a geed Jail official. TUB POLICE FORCE. There has been a great deal of specula tion as te' the men who wilt compose the new pollce force. The new mayor declares that he will net make any of his appoint ments known until next Monday morning. It Is pretty well known new wbe the lucky men will be. They are given below, and when the new mayor takes bis office it will be found that the Intelligencer's Information is nearly correct The pollce force et the new mayor will be larger than that cf Mayer Morten, as it will include two sergeante, which our city has net had heretofore. Fer these po sitions there have been a number of candi date?, but these having the best chances up te the present time are Matthias Siegler, of the Second ward, and Harry llartley.ef the .Filth. The Icruier has been a Democrat up te within a low years, when he turned bis coat. Hartley has been asseeser of the Filth ward for the past ten years, and be fore that was a letter-carrier for many year. There are many people wbe think be has had bis share of efficea, but he will get there just the same. The number et patrolmen will be elgb elgb elgb toen,tbe same as before, and thoreare maey candidates. In the First ward Officer Win Weaver will be reappointed and will re sign the cfllce of constable te which be was elected. Jacob Gundaker will be made con stable. There was considerable difficulty ever tbe appointment of the second man In thla ward. Among the candidates was ex ex PellcemanSamSwenk, and ter a time it looked sh though he would be appointed. S cenk left Ijineaster several years age and took np bis residence In Ohie, where be in tended te remain permanently. Last fall be returned te this city but net in time te get a ve'9 at the mayor's oleetloD. Swenk moved irem the Filth te the First ward alnce the election, In order te secure the appointment. Jehn Fiennard was another candidate ler the position ; the man who will In all likelihood be chosen is Geerge Kepner, a clgarmaker. Jn the Second ward, Officer Geergo Cramer, wbe has been en the ferce many years and is popular, will be reappointed. This has been pretty well known for some time past and Oramer himself felt se con fident that he was no candidate ier consta ble. The ether man will be Obarlle Helmar-, Helman was n Democrat nearly all his life, and as such he served four years and six months en the force under Mayer MacOonigle. Bseauee be could net stay two yeais longer be at once Joined the Republican party. Since that time he baa been a loud-mouthed and active worker en that side and this Is bis reward. In the Third ward.Oflleer Stertnfellz will be retained for the tame reason that Oramer gees back in the Second. The ether man booked (or appointment was Jehn Craw ford, a laborer, who baa done but little work for his party. Jehn Klpple, a recent impor tation Irem the Sixth ward, was the leading candidate against Crawford. Crawford was net acceptable te the mayor and it la said he went Inte tbe ward te leek for a fiultgble person and found him. Ills name is Frank W.Hellman, and it leeks as if the politicians would tie left in Ibis ward. in the Fourth, Officer Henry Sberlz, wbe has been constable en the force for a year, will go bacU again under the new mayor, and the ether man will ba ex-OOleer Philip Olt The latter "was a patrolman under Mayer Kesenmlller. In this struggle he lias been backed only by Select Uounoil Ueunoil Uouneil man Jehn E. 8ohum,whe Is a relative, The politicians ei thla ward were divided. Seme wanted Wilsen J. Fisher, and the ethera were for Harry M. Erlsman. While they were wrangling ever the matter Olt walked In and secured the plum. Olt is new a bar tender at Rahter's Eagle hotel, and he bad a geed reoerd as a policeman before. Andrew Elcheliz takes Sbertz's place aa constable. In the Fifth ward Levlus Helss will be reappointed; be knew that long age and did net be'.ber with tbe cecatableahlp. Geerge Wlnewer soother ex officer, wbe was beaten for constable two years age by Helss, would like te be the ether officer of this ward. He will likely be disappointed, bewever, as this is a family affair and Henry Lebr, a brother-in-law of Helss, Is te be appointed. In the Sixth ward there bis been a big tight It has been well known for some time Constable Barnbelt would net get a 178. positlea a the new fore and that left roeeater two men. These wbe were first mentioned and whose appointments were regarded aa almost certain were Daniel Glaaa and William Mlehaet Then men represent the work era et tea wejd t for soma reasea Mleasel baa bees refused the positlea. Ha bad tbe beet kind of back lag and la a bard party worker, but It waa all et be account 21eeji Is certain te be appointed. Ha waa a Democrat untlla couple of yearaage wbea tie became a renegade and waa the first one te be rewarded. At present he Is employed at the Peaa Iren works. Jehn Samson, son of the lata Alderman Samson, will be the ether effletr of the ward. He waa first a eaadldata for chief, then sergeant, and Is new willing te be a patrolman. There la complaint among the politicians that this family baa bad about enough. There are two members In the fire department and ene left it recently. Mew that Jehn is te get thla offles there remains but one te be provided for. In tbe Ssventb ward, there baa been quite a number of applicant. It was sup posed that William Deen, ez -letter carrier, and new watchman at tbe work beuse, would get something. Fer yeara be had been one of tbe hardest workers there he saw that it waa no use for blm te apply under this mayor, and be did net come out. The men te be apitetnted there are Ernest Arneld and Hlester Meesenkep. The lat ter was an officer under Ketenmlller. In the Eighth ward there were a number of candidates nearly all of whom were ren egade Democrats, and every one felt confi dent until a fewdaya age. It la new al most certain that Henry Gardner and Jehn Stnmpf, son of Philip Stumpf, will be tbe men. Gardner was' agreed upon seen after the election and Stumpf was made so se cure only a lew days age. Teere is a strong pressure te secure the appointment of Ed ward Slyer, by men outside the ward. It he gets there Gardner will be left Officer Bcas gees back in the Ninth ward. It Is net altogether certain who the ether man will be, aa there are thirteen applicants, Prominent among them are Geerge Myer, Wellington Rhoads and Geerge Fex. Myera will In all probability be chosen. He Is a bricklayer by trade and well-known aa a base ball player and urn plre. There is no doubt that he is a geed' man and people speak highly elblm. FOR THE L0CKUT. Geerge F. Miller la booked ter tbe cfllce of lookup koeper. Thla office was premised te a number of people during tbe campaign by ward werkera te keep them In line, but tbe day after tbe election this appointment waa secured by Miller as a reward for faith ful work in the Seventh ward. MARKET MASTER. Fer market master the prominent candi dates are Jehn McC alley, Hiram Buaheng and Henry S. Shenek. The contest is be tween Buaheng and McCu'.ley. The mar ket maater will in all probability be made the janitor of tbe city ball alter It is re modeled, and the office will be worth hav Ing. THE STREET C0MMI1SI0NER. Peter B. Fordney, Sam Levan, Jake Greenawalt, Jake Berlz and David G. Warfel are the principal applicants for the office et street commissioner. The same opposition is made te Berlz'a appointment as te Sprecher's, but again tbe new mayor will net heed .the advice of his friends and Berlz will get the appointment He made a geed commissioner ; bla greatest fault la that be cannot be civil In bis conversa tion with these having business with him. If.be overcomes that defect he will make an acseptable official. THE FIBE DEPARTMENT. Chief Vendersmlth has It all bis own way for tbe office et chief of the fire de partment It was generally conceded that Venderamltb, by reason of hU otess per sonal relations with the new mayor, would get the appointment and for that reason he baa no opposition. COUNCILS OFFICER. President Evana and Clerk Barr will have no opposition ter re-election te these offices of select council. In common counell President 11 sard bis no opposition, but Clerk Celllai ha. Al derman Deen, who held that office for two yeara and retired from it two years age, again wants It Ha and his friends made a canvass for vetes, but the result Is net gratifying, and the probability is that tbe alderman will drop out of the fight befere tbe week Is out. CITV SOLICITOR. The big contest te be determined by ceun. ells Is tbe election et city solicitor. There are three candidates. Harry Carpenter, the present solicitor, wants a re election ; H. O. Brubaker also wants it, and tbe third candidate la William T. Brown. Bubak er's frienda ask that he ba rewarded be cause of the oenvictlon et primary election officers through bis prosecution. The mo ment that isaue was made tbe friends of tbe Sixth ward officers went into the fight, and will net leave a atone unturned te accomplish his defeat Brubaker has same strength ; probably enough te pull through, ifbecan ifbecan net make the office his friends-can name tbe solicitor, and the question Is where will they go T Brown's Iriends claim that he will lead en the first ballet and secure the nomina tion en the aesend. Carpenter's friends are net se sanguine, hoping te be bene fitted by Brubaker's withdrawal. The aalary attached te this elfics, 1900 per year, is big pay for the work te bj done, whoa it Is considered that the csunty solicitor gets only 1500 per year. The caucus will be held en Friday evening. THE WATER COMMISSIONERS, The water commissioners were deter mined upon some time ego. They will be L Newton Stauifer, Jere Rebrer and Gee. W. Cormeny. This beard has the selection of tbe empleyes of the water department James Fellenbaum, englneer et tbe water werka, la booked for superintendent, te take Alderman Ualbaeh'a place. Harry Shaub will be made one of the engineers at tbe water works. The ether officers have net been determined upon. City Regulator Slay manor has no oppo eppo oppe alllon and bla a alat&nte, Peler Hum my and Antheny Lecbler, expect te pull through. m Fighting la the Mad, List evening at tbe corner et Orange and Market streets, two drunken men, one of whom was quite small and tbe ether very large, became Involved In a quarrel. They began punching each ether and fi nally get In tbe middle et the street, where they floundered around In tbe mud until seme one mentioned that police had beenaent for. They then left for another pait et the city. Al'leaiant Serprlie.

One clause of the will reads as fellows t " Having for many yeara 00101181004 aa earnest desire te see founded In my native city or Lancaster an asylum or borne for peer widows and ar.ed maiden ladles, and believing that auch an institution la much needed, and If prudently managed calcu lated te de mere real geed than any ether plan of benevolence that I knew of with tbe view and tbe hope of doing some geed with a portion of tbe meana which Ged In his goednees has blessed me In thla life, It Is my will and I de give and bequeath onto my executer, hereinafter named, and three trustees, te be appointed by the Judges of tbe court of common pleas, of Lancaster county, tbe aum et five thousand dollars te be ap plied te the building or purchase of a suitable beuse in geed location in aald city for an ay lern or home for peer wldewa atd aged maiden ladles In Indigent circumstances, and of geed and respectable cbaraeter ; my said executers and tbe said trnateea and their successors te mske all necessary rales and regulations for the proper government and management or the said Inatitutlen and et se curely investlngand taking careef thefunda therein bequeathed, in and by this my will and wbleh may hereafter be given by ether persons ter Its maintenance and support." The codlell, which was afterwards made, reduced the aum bequeathed from 15,000 te ff.oeo. Mrs. WItmer made tbe late Jacob M. Leng executer ether will. When he filed hla account In Mareb, 1870, lt was fennd that the sum bad been reduced irem 14,000 te (3.C0O by reason of tbe deduction of the collateral Inheritance tax and the United States legacy and succession tar. This sum waa rather small for the purposes for which lt was Intended, and it was thought beat te allow it te run en and accumulate ier some years. Mr. Leng died in 1882, and en May 31, 1831, William Leaman, esq , administered en bis estate with the will annexed. There was no appointment of trustees, under the prevision of the will, until November, 1887, when en petition of Mr. Leaman and e number of ladlea of tbe city the court appointed W. A. Morten, O. A.
