Mr.. Stayton would carry into execution his
threat Of arresting Mr.. Wyman as soon as the
oath had been taken, but nothing of the kind
occurred.
made a brief address, and mayor Wyman
turned toward the audience and spoke as
follows:
WHAT HE PROMISES.

fore you after taking upon myself the oath of Of
flee of Mayor of your city. am well aware of the

detective. Then the Mayor retired to ms once
and was numerously seen for the balance OF
the day by sundry nervous policemen and
officials generally who are anxious to retain
places under the new regime.
BEGINS TO CREEP OUT.
The inner history of the Langhorst affair is
beginning to crop out. 1t was learned last
night that County Detective Langhorst was to
have been Chief of Police under Mayor Wyman,
by a square out-and-out agreement between
Hon. ]. S. Rutan, w. b. Rodgers, Esq, and the
Mayor Mr.. Langhorst went on this basis, and
is now in the political tureen. His friends are
now hunting meataxes, and swear all Sorts OF
vengeance.
]. R. Stayton was seen last night, and asked
why there had been no attempt to oostruct
Mayor Wyman's assumption of his seat. he
said: MY attorneys advised me not to 90 as
had intended-make an information this after
noon for perjury against Mr.. Wyman. based
upon his taking the oath of office. But If 1t is
imagined that there will be no future step
taken in the matter it is mistake. The hre
will fly soon enough to suit Mr.. Wyman. Asto
the custody of the ballot boxes, my attorneys
think that ANYBODY would as soon fool with
rattlesnake as meddle with those boxes"
Mayor Wyman was subsequently seen, but
made light of the possibilities of there being
trouble in the future. 'lf have done anything
for which deserve arrest" said the Mayor, II
am right here where everybody can find me-"
The Fifth Ward Wyman Club presented the
Mayor with fine picture of himself framed in
an American shield, very handsome piece OF
emblazonry.
NO COMMITTEES ANNOUNCED.

choice pleases all sides.

stated that three-fourths of the Allegheny
Councilmen desire to be placed upon the
Library Committee but that he had not deter
mineu upon any member as yet but Mr.. Adam

failure to announce the list of committees last
night, but both chairmen will have to do some
work before the lists are completed.
