Clmrles Hartley, son-in-law of Controller-elect Howell, who Is to be dep uty controller under tho new adminis tration, Is engaged in acquainting himself with, the business of the olllce tinder the tutorship of the present deputy, Edward Klsele Mr. Howell and his son, John, will also be in the office. Treasurer-elect Robinson hns given tin intimation of the. make-up of his ollleo force when he moves to the front of the building. It Is. understood that Charles Kosar, who Is now :i clerk lit the controller's oflleo, will accompany Mr. Robinson to the treasury depart ment. Deputy Klsele, whjt Incidental ly, is regarded In city hall as the best man that ever tilled the position, will, It Is thought, llnd himself looking for a position. Deputy Treasurer P. J. Hiuine, who has been tho actual director of tho city's financial affairs, almost since its organization, has as yet received no Intimation that he will bo Invited to continue under the new administra tion. Miss Dora Huag, it Is under stood, will succeed one of the present clerks in the treasurer's ofllce. The new assessor!! will not employ a clerk, having arranged to uttend to the ofllce themselves. They will dlvldu the work so that one or them will bo constantly at the ofllce during busi ness hours. John Power O'Connor, clerk of the chief of police, will retire Monday morning and with his retirement the ofllce Is abolished. Under the new ar rangement the mayor's secretary, who will be H. C. Hatton, the present com mon council clerk, will attend to tho duties pertaining to the office now filled by Mr. O'Connor as well as those that uttacli to tho olflce of mayor's secretary. To meet this nddltlonnjl work the salary of the secretary was Increased from $900 to $1,200 per an num. Hugh A. Jones will doubtless suc ceed Mr. Hatton as clerk of the com mon council. The salary of the ofllce was reduced from $D00 to $.000 n year, but an effort will be made, it Is under stood, to put It back to its original ilguro. TRIED TO RUN THE ST. DENNIS. Proprietor, However, Had n Stalwart Bartender There to Do That. Albert and Elmer Carson, of Keyser Valley, were locked up In the Center street station house yesterday for rais ing a disturbance In the St. Dennis. They were trying to play a nickel-in-the-slot machine that was out of order, and when they discovered It would not work, demanded of the bartender that he return them the equivalent of the throe nickels they spent ascertaining that tho sign "Out of Order" posted on the front of the machine meant all It said. The bartender said them nay, and they proceeded to raise a rumpus. When Patrolmen MeMullen and Neuls rescued the belligerent brothers from the trouble they had brewed, they were a sorry looking pair. The hospital would be a fitter place than the station house for their detention. The main reason for locking them up was to keep them out of further bother. WILL PLAY IN CHICAGO.

While the Republican Selectmen Are Having a Lengthy Wrangle Over tho Election of a Candidate for Chairman Mr. Itocho and Treasurer Bolnnd Aro Left Together in the Clerk's Office with City Clerk Lavollo tho Only Relief for the Embarrassment. City Clerk Lavello Inst night enjoyed experienced la probably the better word tho position In which George Thatcher's dog "Wrinkles" was wont to make himself useful, when Mr. nnd Mrs. Thatcher weren't on speaking terms. It all came about through the unfor tunate circumstance of the caucus of Republican selectmen falling on the same night and at tho same hour when a meeting was scheduled of tho special committee of select council to Investi gate the matter of Interest on city bal ances. This committee la composed of Hon. John E. Roche, J. A. Lansing and J. J. Schneider. They met at 8 o'clock In the city clerk's ofllce, the city clerk being nn hand to take any minutes of tho meeting that might need to be re corded. City Treasurer Boland wns re quested to be present nt the meeting to answer certain questions the Investi gators wished enlightenment upon, and he was there. REPHBLICAN CAUCUS. Shortly after S o'clock the Republican selectmen assembled In their chamber across the corridor nnd word was sent to the clerk's office for Mr. Lansing and Mr. Schneider to crlvn their iiMenilnnno at the caucus. After some discussion ns to the most expedient way of at tending to both duties tho two Repub lican committeemen arranged that they should attend the caucus nnd that Mr. Roche and Mr. Boland should await their return, when the remaining busi ness of the committee could be dis patched. Then it was that Mr. Lavello served as a reminder of Thatcher's story. "Wrinkles," Mrs. Thatcher would say, when she wanted coal ordered, "you'll have a freezing time of it pretty soon if somebody doesn't order coal before long." And If Mr. Thatcher intended to stay down town ho would say. "Wrinkles, you needn't expect your master home for dinner tonight." And s-o on. This pleasant occupation cut out for Mr. Lavello would not have been so bad had It not been that tho Republi can caucus got into a deadlock. It was expected that the meeting would be over with In short order but It was found that the two candidates, Messrs. Williams nnd Wagner, were equal fa vorites. Each had six supporters and each set of supporters was steadfast. Ballot after ballot was taken with the fiame result every time, Williams, 6; Wagner, 6. TOSSED UP A PENNY. Finally It was suggested that the decision be mado by lot. "Toss up a penny" some one said. Both sides agreed. "Heads," called Williams. "Talis will do," said Wagner. Mr. Thomas flipped the penny. It came down "heads" and the deadlock was broken. Then Messrs. Lansing and Schnei der repaired hastily to the clerk's of llce and relieved Mr. Lavelle from his trying roles of "Wrinkles." The committee was in session for a long time but what It did was not di vulged. "It will be made known to the public through councils," Mr. Roche said. PIANO MACHINERY AKKIVES.
