ELECTIoN RETURN

The board then proceeded to canvass
the returns of the late city election.
While the canvass was going on Trustee
Mclaughlin and his successor, Il. II &,
Green, chatted pleasantly together. while
near by sat Chief of Police-elect John B.
Rodgers, accompanied by Lawyer c. "
Baker awaiting the result Of the canvass.
The returns (which are the same as
those published in the RECORD UNION on
the morning following the electiom
showed that Il. II. Green for Second
/ Trustee, John b, Rodgers for Chief of
Police, f. G, Hart for City Attorney and
j. NJ. Morrison for Fire Commissioner
had received the highest votes for the
positions named, as follows: Green,
2,l14; Rodgers, l,59l; Hart, 2,9l&; Nor
rison, 1896.
Mayor Comstock announced the result,
and declared the gentlemen named duly
elected. lie then swore Mr.. Green into
Office, and in few remarks adjourned
the old board, remarking, with uncon-
scious sarcasm, that he hoped the rela-
tions between the members of the new
| board would be as pleasant as had been
those OF the old board during the last
term.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then gracefully intro
due d his successor, who said it would be
his ambition to discharge the duties of
the office OF Second Trustee as creditably
| as they had been discharged by his pre-
decessor.
On motion of Trustee Conklin, the
| board then adjourned.

I As IN THE PAST"
Mayor Comstock UnwittingIy Gets Off
a Joke.
He Hopes the Trustees VIII Get Along
as Harmoniously In the Future
as in the Past.

The board-room of the City Trustees
was filled with citizens yesterday to wit
ness the imposing ceremony of the in
duction into office of the new Street Com
missioner, and possibly in anticipation OF
riot growing out of the alleged contest
over the possession of the office of Chief
of Police
It's needless to say that the crowd was
disappointed all through.
When the board had been called to or
der, Corfitz Nielsen complained that
Deputy Cow-catcher Regan had taken his
COW from his boys while they were lead
ing the animal to water The COW was
not liable to being impounded, and Nielsen
regarded the action of the Poundmaster's
deputy as nothing short of an outrage.
On motion of Trustee Conklin, Pound
master O'Neill and his too-ofIicious
deputy were cited to appear before the
board and explain their conduct.

ELWOOD BRUNBR ESCAPES.
The Jury in the Doodle Case
Disagrees.
After Einety-six Hours Of Deibsration i
Stood Seven FOR Aequittal and Five
for Conviction.

Elwood Bruner Of the Doodle Legislature
has escaped.
After celebrating for ninety-six hours
the members Of the jury in Judge Wallace s
court were called in, and declared that they
could not agree upon verdict.
Judge Wallace yesterday concluded that
he had given the jury ample time. and al
70 o'clock ordered the bailif TO bring the
jury into court.
At Il o'clock the jurors filed into their
box. All Of them looked pale aud tagged
out, Notwithstanding the fact that they had
been quartered and dined at the Baldwin
and were taken to the theater,
The court inquired whether the jury had
agreed on a verdict.
1--WE have not" replied Foreman Sutton
He also replied that there was no possible
ity Of the jury ever reaching an agreement
The court replied: 81 thought it proper
that you gentlemen should have full OPP
portunity to deliberate. You have beer
kept out long time, but the testimony wa:
very Volumnous. / suppose there Is NJ
other course left but to discharge you from
further consideration of the case, and it Ii
so ordered.
After being discharged the jury quickly
left the box Some Of those who had stood
by Bruner went up and shook him by tht
hand.
The foreman presented Bsiliff Piper witt
a handsome set of resolutions for his cOur
teous treatment of them while in confne
ment.
But little harmony prevailed among the
jurors, the divergence Of opinion being wide
from the very moment they left the box. II
was learned that the jury stood on the las
ballot seven for acquittal and five for con
viction. In previous ballots there was lit
tie variance from these figures.
The jurors who were for conviction arr
said to have been: Julius Bandman, Viii
liam Sutton, w. +. Bowman, Gabriel Cohn
A. M. Jelison.
Those who voted for acquittal: Charles
S. Cory, l.. NJ. Kennedy, A. B. Mcclure, A
w. Starbird, E. A. Mccarthy. George Haas
Thomas w. Rivers.
