DEATH OF MAYOR HAVEMEYER.

New YORK, Nov. Mayor Havemeyer
died 1ddenly to-day, aged 70 years.
The sudden death of Mr.. Jonathan Sturges
particular friend Of the Mayor, made deep
impression on him, and it is said, he made
melancholy remarks both yesterday and to-
day OF the uncertainties of life. The Mayor
walked three miles againsta strong wind.

man Vance had the oath of Office as Mayor

lick, who has been i'll for some time. He en-
tered his Office apparently in good health and
commenced to tead his correspondence as
usual. when lie suddenly fell to the floor.
Every possible effort was made that medical
skill could suggest, but to no purpose.

small garrison With loss of some lives on

saw the Talisman in possession Of the Huascar,
Immediately seized some cars and locomo-
tive, bundled in what they could, and started
for the interior town OF Moeugla, which place
they took possession of, and there Senior

claimed himself dictator. and enlisted all the

NEW APPOINTMENTS.

we learn that ALREADY the WOrh Vi retreucH-
ment has commenced and the force hitherto
employed by the city materially reduced. In
the Department Of Improvements. the entire
force, excepting those absolutely necessary
for the running Of the several draining
machines and the removal of the garbage
from the streets, have been discharged and no
further appointments will be made until the
financial condition Of the treasury warrants
further expenditure 1t is the purpose Of
Major E. A. Burke, not to employ more
hands until they can be paid in cash for their
services, and in this he has our hearty sup
port. This is the only way of bringing back
the citys credit and the marked diminution
Of expenditures will soonest secure that re-
suit.
Major Burke mas appointed to the Office of
superintendent of the general depot of sup
plies our old and esteemed fellow-citizen,
John c. Goodrich. who is known throughout
the State The whole commercial commu-
nifty Joined in recommending Mr.. Goodrich as
a gentleman eminently fitted for the position,
and we congratulate Nj. Burke on his wise
selection.
For superintendents of streets:
First District-M. G. Reyes.
Second District-Ch Charles Cavignae.
Third District -Thos. O'Neil.
Fourth District-John G. Haas.
Fifth District-Jno. Mahoney.
Sixth District. E. Guillotte.
Seventh District--R. B. Stubs.
All Of these are excellent appointments.
Every individual there we personally know to
be honest and thoroughly upright and en-
tirely competent to ill their several offices.
For Superintendent Of Wharves and Land
ings, we have that staunch and patriotic gen.
tlemen, illiam Swan, whose popularity ex-
tends beyond the city's limits, and for chief
clerk Maurice. Hart, who brings with him 81
character for pEobity and energy which will
ensure his fidelity to the trust.
On account of the great extent Of territory
in the Third and Ninth Wards, appointments
have been made only in these two for the
office of Superintendent of Streets. They
cover great area, and it was absolutely nee
essary that these positions should be filled at
once.
In the Third Ward Phillip Hoffman is APP
pointed, and in the Ninth A. Dudenheffer.
Both of these gentlemen are well known, and
have the full confidence of the community.
Major Burke has already given evidence of
his zeal in the way of reconstructing his de-
partment, and has begun the good work of re-
trenchment. This he proposes to keep up
until the reduction in expenses effects the cor
responding increase in value Of city securities.
No one not absolutely required will be en-
gagged, and those engaged will be required 10
perform tul! labor This is as it sLoul1 BE.

prietor, and robbed his store; they then
robbed trading boat lying in the river. The
sheriff gathered a posse and started in pur-
suit. The robbers separated, two coming
towards Little Rock and three going in another
direction.

which the Sheriff was shot and badly wounded
by the robbers. Both robbers were badly
wounded by the Sheriff's posse, were cap
tured, brought to this city, and lodged in Jail
