Matters About the Hall

There was comparatively little OF general public
interest going on yesterday about the City Hail.
Mayor Havemeyer, fresh from his tour among the
mountains OF the Pennsylvania coal region, was
again at his Official post and received large num-
Der Of callers who were intent on .seeing how the
old man hooked after histrip." OF course he had a
large scattering delegation OF gentlemen who
would like to have his influence to secure once for
themselves or their friends, and not few OF them
were harping on the police magistrates question,
as 1t Is with good reason anticipated that at least
one-half OF the nominees already submitted will be
peremptorily rejected by the Board OF Aldermen.
Alderman Van Schaick yesterday made some OF.
fort to have special meeting called for to-day to
take up the police magistrate nominations, but the
attempt was not successful, and 1t Is now likely
that nothing will be tCbne until Thursday. Several
Of the Aldermen expressed the opinion yesterday
that even then there Will be no action taken on
the nominations, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Board meets ct the unusually early hour Of
eleven O'Clock A. NJ, and that this hour was fixed
with view to o "feld day."

graham, Brady, Fancher, Barrett and Davis OF the
Supreme Court, asking that the Supreme Court be
awarded the occupancy OF the two rooms in the
southwest corner OF the New Court House, for
mery occupied by the Board of Supervisors. They
set forth that the increased business or the Court
will not warrant the county In giving away any Of
the rooms Of the building to other branches OF the
government and hoped that any application there
for would be denied. The petition was referred to
the Committee on County Offices.
A large number OF bills against the county were
referred to the proper committees.

Another bill OF the same creditor for S698 SO for
binding and indexing "the volume" OF 1872, was
opposed by <
Supervisor OrrENDoRFER, on the ground that the

1t appeared that the work was
GIVEN OUT BY JOSEPH D. YOUNG,
late Clerk OF the Board. and that he was not au-
thOriZed or empowered to direct such performance.
