other Trial To-day.

The Police Commissioners held another
meeting yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of electing the remaining five Of

wasted in preliminaries, but they settled
right down to business.

Cunningham.

Sullivan and Ream.

CHER, Sullivan and Franks.
Dole received three votes and was de-
clared elected.
Chief Rodgers then moved that after the
next ballot those receiving two votes be
declared elected. Judge Buckley sec
onded the motion, but the Mayor de-
clined to put it, as, he said, the board had
been electing by unanimous vote.
Rodgers insisted on his motion. Stein
man said he was like slice of ham be-
tween two pieces of bread. He would
like little show in the matter
Judge Buckley said he wanted to get
through, and thought the motion would
shorten time. The Mayor had had his
own way so lar and had got his own men.

said the Mayor. We'll take one more

then"

that those securing only one vote on the
next ballot be dropped.
dodgers insisted on his motion, and
Mayor Steinman stated that he had
offered an amendment, and thought him
sell entitled TO oder it and to have it con-
sidered.
Judge Buckley then discovered on ex-
animation that five men had each re-
there could have been no election.
Stelnman insisted that his amendment
would have been better, as men would
have been dropped out and that would
have facilitated matters. However, if
the motion was for two votes to elect, all
right.
The fifth ballot was taken, as follows:
Steinman-Lowell, Nagel, Franks and
Ream.
Rodgers-Nagel, Sullivan, Burke and
Ream.
Buckley-Burke, Sullivan, Franks and
Lowell.
The Mayor remarked that six men had
Two votes and there We're only four holes
70 put them into. There was no election
dodgers thought it would be a waste OF
time to keep on balloting thus, as Mayor
Steinman had it in his power to block all
action.
The latter said he sat there on an
equality with the rest. All they had to
do was TO vote. 1.-The same peopie elected
Inc that elected YOU" said he. II am
getting paid for my time here, and your
salary goes on all the same, SO there's no
use of worrying"

that raised ripple OF excitement. The
sixth ballot was taken, and ii produced a
great change. Steinman voted for Ream,
Naghel, Franks and Lowell, Rodgers

Mayor, and they began again.
For the next three ballots Steinman
voted for Ream, Franks and Naghel;
buckley Tor Burke, Sullivan and Franks.
while Rodgers voted for Burke, Ream
and Sullivan.
The eleventh and twelfth ballots were
without result. Judge Buckley did not
see any chance of the board agreeing. and
he therefore moved to adjourn till / p. NJ.
to-day. The Mayor agreed with him, and
the board adjourned.
The failure to elect a full force, coupled
with the resolution passed on tuesday.
that the ten elected that day should COM
mence their duties yesterday, necessitated
decision by the board as to which of the
old force should continue on duty till the
remaining three shall be chosen, and
they retired 10 caucus and decide on that
matter.
The force elected so far consists of I. ].
