what Is the Waiter?

To the Editor of the Press:
About year ago remember there was
an item in your paper stating that by reason
of some trouble with the Western Union
Telegraph Company the city electrician was
unable to receive the time signals from the
Cambridge Observatory, which he had for
merly made use of to regulate his clock used
in striking the time sigma at Z, 70, l and
9 o'clock, and that consequently he was
obliged to do it by guesswork l should like
to inquire If that method is at present in
use. My watch is a generally trustworthy
timepiece, not varying more thai half a
minute week as gen>xal thing, but of
late either it or the city bells have had
s strange ran variations. Sunday night, when the
906; Monday morning, at Z, it was 6.59: at
noon It was 1901, and at 10 o'clock my watch
said l,O2t. l(should like to know how the
city time is regulated, whether the electri-
Clans clock does it all or whether there is
some one higher than he who tells him.
There seems to be discrepancy somewhere.

SULLIVAN HELD.
His Hearing Before Commissioner
Rand.

Before United States Commissioner RAND
yesterday morning Mark J. Sullivan had an
adjourned hearing on the charge Oh wi'iuiiy
neglecting and refusing to perform MS
duties as census enumerator In ward e. Nun
Isaac w. Dyer appeared for the government
and w. II. Looney, Esq. for the defense. =
Supervisor Wright testified that Sullivan
began work June I'd with the other enumera-
tors. He sent his required daily reports for
the first week but none whatever after thar.
Mr.. Wright wrote him letter requesting
that he send in his reports. No reply. In
few days more Mr.. Wright wrote again.
Still no reply. A telegram was then sent. 10
which a reply was sent by letter TO MI.
Wright. Sullivan said he had got all the
dwelling houses and was at work in the
hotels. Mr.. Wright then rested easy until
the papers began to complain of omissions
in Sullivan's district. Mr.. Wright notified
Sullivan by letter that he must 60 to the
hotels Immediately or he would be reported
to the department at Washington. No reply.
A few days later Mr.. Wright telegraphed
Sullivan to meet him at the Falmouth Sulli-
van did not appear. Mr.. Wright went to
his place of business and was informed that
Sullivan was out of town. No examination
had been made at the hotels. Mr.. Wright
then reported Sullivan to the department
and, by instruction, revoked his commission
and laid the facts before the District At
torney. lie appointed two new men ed
ward A. Gray and John d. Prindable) to
take a new census of Sullivan's district.
Sullivan returned only about 600 names
from the southern portion of Ward and
these in an imperfect and incomplete way.
Sullivan himself testified that he worked
week and got most of the dwelling houses.
He then went to Hon. w. F. Lunt and asked
him what he had better do about the hotels.
MI. Lunt suggested that he had better leave
slips at each one to be filed out. Sullivan
did so. At the Merchants Exchange the
clerk was busy but said he would attend to
1t as soon as he had time. At the Perry
House he got part of the names and left
some slips. At the st. Julian he got no
direct reply. At the United States Mr..
O'Connor declined to do the work for him.
He went to the Falmouth and got some
names. He went to Boston during this time
on business for his brother and was gone
from Wednesday to Saturday. He thought
| he had enumerated all the dwelling houses.
Mr.. Looney claimed that the government
had failed to show any criminal neglect on
Sullivan's part Mr.. Looney said that prob
ably Sullivan had not done his work proper
ly. but it was due to incompetepcy rather
than wilful neglect.
At the close Commissioner Rand found
probable cause and Sullivan was ordered to
recognize in the sum of $1,000 for his appear
ance at the next term of the United States
district court, to be held in Bath. He gave
