THE NEW REGIME.
TIL. COUNTY OFFICERS SEATED.

Ring out tho Old King.-Hing In the New
Ring"
In accordance with the law the old
county officers vacated their seats thi.
morning and the officers elect took their
places. There was not the least excite
mcnt attending the transfer, ana very few
changes in the subordinate places.
Capt. Joseph Cmble. the new register,
entered upon his duties about Q O'Clock.
He retains G. F. Stoner rs his only deputy,
1t being his intention to occupy one Of the
office desks himself, and thus dispense
with the services Of one deputy. This
action relegates Benjamin Bauman, "old
reliable as he has been familiar!y called,
to private life. Capt Umble has
to-day, perhaps, the very best arranged
registers Office in Pennsylvania During
Capt Edgerley's term, just ended, the
papers in the Office have been thoroughly
overhauled, carefully placed in now files
arranged according to date and plainly
stenciled, so that any paper in the office
from 1928 to 1881 can be found without
difficulty in 4 few minutes. This labor
iOus work was done by scott Lytle, late an
assistant in the office A new index of
wills was prepared by c. F. Stoner, whicl,
is an admirable piece of correct pcnman-
ship. Capt. Edgerley retires from office
with the good wishes Of all who had busi
ness relations with him. He will devote
his time during the coming year to his ex-
tensive coach mauufactory.
Sam Matt Fridy, the new prothonotary,
entered upon his duties at 10 O'clock. He
has appointed =. L. Slaymaker. late clerk
in the prOthOnotary office, as his deputy,
and retains VIM. +. kreider and A. :. Ed
wards as clerks. Mr.. Fridy says it is his
intention to give personal supervision to
the business of one Of the courts, which
may enable him to get along with one
clerk less, but no changes will be made for
the present. It is but justice to Capt Nc.
Mellcn, the retiring prOthOnOtary, to say,
that during his term great improvement
has been made in classifying, indcxinr and
arranging the papers in his office, many of
which were but mere piles of rubbish unit!
additional shelving and cases were made
for their better keeping. 1t is understood
that Capt. McMellen will for the ensuing
year devote his attention to carpenterinG
and bridge building, at the same time
keeping a sharp eye on the politics of the
Third ward, with u view Of becoming its
alderman.
John II. High, the new sheriff has al
ready assumed his duties, and retains as
his deputies Henry Hippy and c. NJ.
Strine, son of the retiring sheriff. Ex-Sheriff
Strinc will reside i'm Lancaster until the
1st of April, when he will return to his
old home in Columbia. lie is not yet Ger
tain what branch of trade he will engage in
Joseph Recser, the new clerk of orphans
court. retains rs his deputy Samuel Krci-
der, who for SO many years has had con-
troll of the business management of the
Office, and has given such universal salts
faction to all having business in the or
phans' court.
George W. Eaby, the new clerk of quar-
ter sessions, enters upon his duties with
out tho SLIGHTEST difficulty, being perfectly
familiar with them, having done nearly all
the Office work as chief clerk during the
term of his predecessor. 1t is his intention
to continue doing the work and thus
dispense with the services of III extra
clerk. During court weeks he will be as.
sisted by his son, n bright boy now attend
ing tho high school, who has durlns the
past year or two had considerable expcr-
iencc in the Office. Tho retiring clerk, Dr.
Urban, having purchased the drug store,
corner South Queen and Middle streets,
will devote his attention 10 he drug and
chemical business.
The county commissioners elect, Samuel
Myers, Abram Sunny and Martin Hide
brant did not organize until this after
noon, Mr.. SUNNY having missed the
train. When the board met IN
was effected by choosing Mr.
Myers president and selecting Frank
Griest as commissioners clerk. Solomon
Sholl, of Mount JOY, was elected janitor of
the court house, and then the board al
jOurned without transacting any other
business. 1t is understood that the retir-
ing commissioners, Christian Coble, Isaac
Bushong and Robert Montgomery of
whom arc farmcrs-will resume their
bucOlic avOcatiOn.
The county treasurer, John J. Good,
reached town at II o'clock, but did not
take his seat until after dinner. The retiring
treasurer, Samuel A. Croft waited for him
from 8 o'clock until 10 this morning, and
hen having an engagement in the coun-
try could not meet Mr.. Good until after.
noon. The new treasurer has appointed
Harry Strohm, of Providence, as his |
clerk, rice David Warfcl, who has So ac-
,eptably filled the position during Mr..
irOffs term. Mr.. Croft, we are told,
will for the present devote good deal of
lis time to the Sprecher house reccntS
by him. He had rough fight |
o secure the treasurership and has been
BADLY bounded by his enemies during the
whole term of Office, but retircs, we be
icye, with clean hands and better record
han most of his predecessors, while his
ist of warm and devoted friends contains
more names than ever
Daniel A. Shif1er succeeds Isaac Mis.lcr
S coroner. Danny is an active and good
leartcd little fellow, but it is doubtful
whether he has the push and knowledge
# the law, which enabled his illustrious
predecessor to lift tho corOner's Office from
he insignificant position it held under
nrmer corOners to the important place it
rs held during the term of the late coro
er. Mr. Mishler, it is reported, intends

At the Prison.
Capt. John p Wcisc removed his fam

'ast Orange street, and at o'clock this
