dict, of New York State, in his place,
who is expected here to-day to assume

The new Public Printer will relieve
Mr.. Rounds on September 10, and in

causes some stir among some employees
Of the Office, and there is some anxiety as
to the policy to be adopted with refer
ence to the changes. The impression
prevails that very many changes are to
be made by Mr.. Benedict. From what
can he learned, it seems that Democrats

Gauasher OH Trial.

CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-The trial of William
Gallagher for passing forged special as
sessment warrant was begun in the crimi-
nal court this morning. Gallagher achieved
notoriety in having been Jointly indicted
with Joseph C.. Mackin in election frauds.
Forgery, obtaining money by false pre-
lenses and conspiracy were the charges
alleged against Gallagher. The amount
involved is something like S700. 1t was
sought to obtain this sum on forged instru-
ments from the city special assessment
fund. Gallagher, jocuIarly referred TO as
bill, the Penman," is alleged to have exc
cuted an order Oh which it was tried to Sc
cure money. On presenting it at
the comptroller's Office the forg-
cry was discovered. The detec-
tives who had charge of the case
made it plain that an organized scheme eX-
listed to raid the special assessment fund by.
means Of forged instruments, and that Gal
lagher was the prime mover in the scheme.
Gallagher was defended by G. M. Hardy.
who argued in support of the motion to-
Quash. The point he made was that the
defendant was charged with forging the in
dorsement of an order. The order was set
out literally in the indictment but the in
dorsement was not. Judge Collins decided
to quash on the errors in 1t. Gallagher was
taken back to Jail, being held on other
charges. Mr.. Grinaell will have the case
taken before the next grand jury.

Chicago,s New BailLayy.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The principal police
stations were unusually crowded yesterday,
it being the first Sunday on which the new
ordinance relative to bail bonds was In
force. Down stairs In the cells were men
who had committed trlfling otfenses. All
were cIamoring to be let out Many who
had sent notes to influential friends were
denounclng these friends because they had
not secured their release. The desk SER
geants were kept busy answering the ques-
tions Of men who dropped in to see if they
could secure the release of prisoners by put
ting up deposit. Many of these had Sc
cured the release of their friends on former
occasions. They were shocked when they
heard the provisions of the new law. Some
tried to intimidate the police authorities
into releasing friends, while others tried to
effect their purpose by pleading. The new
law provides that only property owner
can sign bond, and the only other alter
native is to deposit $500 with the station
keeper. A clause in the ordinance which
has been overlooked allows the police cap
tains and lieutenantS to take special depoS-
its smaller than those specified by the law.
The matter is left discretionary with police
officials At Harrison street several $50
deposits have been taken for men who have
committed small offenses, where the highest
fine would have been 500.
