THU VACANT CAFrATNCtHS.


The predictions In yesterdays THtnuNg as TO
filling uls vacant Captalnc!cs tu tho Police Dc-
partment were correct. Lieut.. Ebersold Ia to
succeed O'Donneil at the ArmorY, aud Lieut..
hathaway is to talso Gund's place at the Chf.
caso Aronue Stallion when tho latter quits this
evening.
Aid. Jonas told the Mayor yesterday that the
Licntonant was a good, popular man, and Ills
appointment would give general satisfaction.
Ebersold, IS Is known, has been acting Captain
since O'Donncll's promotion to tho Assistant
Snperinteudcncy. hathaway, on the other
baud, has been attending to his usual dut les,
since Gund's resignation doesn't take tffcyt
until Aug. |. To-day, however, he will step
out, and hathaway will be IN charge to-mor:.
notifying tic force OF these promotions, and
also Of the other changes tlIt hare taken place.
ntnl 1t Is likely that tho hare order Will cover
tic promoti0ns of Others to tho vacant Lieuttn-
antcles.. acrgeants will OF course, get these
places, but the particular ones agreed upau by
tic Mayor mud The Observation-Disclosures nra
unkuuwn; nor could It ha iearncd Yesterday
what patromcn ara to be showed afltad o ptlt.
There wns tumor that ex.Captain 1'uckfy was
to pct Il LientcnancY, hut thia Is not probable,
us tho MnYor IA not inclluc0 10 10 outs!,le.
Strong efforts fiaVe been made to accure for
Bucklcy hIs n'd position, but that is OIL Of The
question. The only tonc for him ia to 70 on as
patrol!nan aMt wat tits chances. Other cx-
officers arc also figuring for restoration, but
they will all bu disappointed.
Among those whose removal Is eaid to bo
