the ears OF those who were thirsty or anx-

new sphere, or have parting, kindly word
with Captain Cain for memory's sake.
IoastS were given to the present incumbent
and to the retiring officer. and altogether
the event was a notable one for several
reasons.
Captain Badger has taken this important

POLICE CHANGEs.-Sergeant Mccain has
been appointed to fill the vacant captaincy
in the third precinct.
In the station house it is rumored that
two more Offices will be vacated in short
time. and that Sergeant Gibney will fill one
OF them. All those who know him will say,
SO be it to that. From the night Gibney
captured the notorious Watson in the act of
of robbing Mr.. LilienthaI's jewelry store, he
should have been placed in the way of pro-
motion. That alone stamped him worthy of
any position of trust or power, for in that
transaction his credit and capacity were
firmly established.
