IT WAS MERE VAPORING
Comptroller Hough's Rec
ords Destroy the Last
Vestige of Wan
SerS Ticker.

Mayor Wanser concluded to rest today.
He has utilized all his ammunition, and
for the next few days will refrain from
communicating with the various Boards
of the city government under Democratic
control.
The explosion of his bombshells direct
ed at the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners in the matter of Public
School No. 25 before any Of its
alleged dynamite had done any dam
age knocked the wind out of his sails
completely. His Honor declined to dis
cnss the matter. The clear and honest
exp lanations of every point of his attack
by tine gentlemen interested in the work.
has had tendency to open his
epes to the fact that it
will be expedient for him
to exercise more precaution in future. Ii
is not likely that he will again make
back up with facts.
His Honer's only argument Is by
what authority were the plans changed,
even if it was done after the estimates
had been receivedr" And in response to
this the Street and Water Commissioners
say "By our authority, and because 1t
was for the best interests of the city,"
Corporation Attorney Hudspeth, who
also came in for share of the Mayors
"roast," examined the specifications on
file IN Comptroller Hough's Office this
afternoon. His Investigation revealed
the fact that Kelly Brothers received
the contract for the carpenter work
and painting and that they had filed a
bond of S40O with Michael Desmond and
Thomas Farrell for sureties, for the faith
full performance of their part OF the work,
which was to be done by August 1, 1892.
English BrotheIs. who had the
contract for the cut stone work, have
filed bond in 81, 800 with Patrick Lillis
and Charles Knudley for sureties. the
work to be completed June J 1899. 2. K.
Martin, who was to do the plumbing
work, has filed bond of So, 900, with 2. j.
Gordon and Henry Byrne for sureties.
while Contractor Condor has filed bond
in $1,000 with p. e. Martin and Henry
Byrne fl ureties, the.work to be finish
ed July 892.
This completes the chain of eviden ce
which brands Mayor Wanser's communi-
cation an unwarrantable partisan attack
upon the Street and Water commissioners.
The opinion of persons generally who have
followed the matter through its various
stages, Is that the specifications are un-
usuaE nding, and that the city Is pro-
tected in every particular.

SERGEANT MoORE's SUCCESSOR.

Roundsman Flanelly His Prob able Sue
cessor-Lennan His Opponent.
The death of Sergeant William Moore,
who was assigned to the Seventh pre-
cinct under Captain Lange, makes room
for an appointments or a promotion. The
latter course will be pursued by the Po-
lice Commissioners. Next Monday is
the regular meeting day of the Board
but by mutual consent the me citing has
been postponed, President Feeney having
some business to attend to which will
keep him out of town until Tuesday morn
ing There are at present but two can
didates for Moore's place. The c hief and
most deserving is Roundsman Flannelly,
who is at present doing dney in the First
precinct.
Flannelly is comparatively new officer
but he has record of which any mem
her of the department might we'll feel
proud. Honesty, sobriety and careful
performance of duties imposed upon him
have won for him the respect of the three
Commissioners: He is considered
the department and his ability is
not overestimated, neither does this fact
fiatter him. He is deserving candidate
and it is hoped by every man in the de-
partment that he will get the appoint
ment.
His opponent is a policeman named
Lehman who does duty in the Seventh
precinct Unlike Flannelly. he is un-
able to boast of spotless rec
ord. He has been before the
Board on charges, the most serious being
that which is despised and should be
foreign TO policeman-cowardice Lehman
is pulling wires. however, and is formid-
able enemy to Flannelly. The appointment
is said to be Commissioner kelly's, and
this gentleman favors Lehman.
