SLABS At THE ALDERMEN
Justice Cullen Issues a Mandamus
in Removal Gases.
Veterans O'Grady and Scully Must
Get Their Old Positions.

Justice Cullen. of the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, granted a writ of %mandamus
to-day compelling Joseph Benjamin,
City Clerk of Brooklyn. to restore Will
lam L. b. O'Grady and Joseph V. Scully
to clerkships in his office.
O'Grady Is a veteran of the war and
Scully a veteran fireman. They are
Democrats. They were legislated out Of
Office by the Republican Board of Alder
men in February.
Justice Cullen, in his decision, says the
petitioners were clerks and in no sense
public officials. He avs they could only
be removed on charges. Their positions
were abolished by the Common Council.
Justice Cullen holds that after the posi-
tions were alleged to have been abol-
ished. the character of the work re-
mained the same, although called by a
different name.
He says had there been no work for
some Of the clerks then It would have
been right from an economic point of
view to drop all unnecessarily en-
ployed. Even then the veterans should
be the last to go.

this morning.
Late Saturday night 1t became known
that three suspicious characters had
been seen inspecting the large stores.
This, coupled with reports of n man
having been waylaid and robbed at West
Pond recently. made the police extra
cautious.
About midnight the three men were
seen lettering about one of the stores,
and two of the watching police made a
dash to capture them. The three men
turned and ran. with big Joe Cannon
after them. his companion giving up the
pursuit. The trio easily escaped.
The alarm spread, however. and last
night nearly all the young men in the
town organized themselves into watchers
and patrolled the various streets. Every
misunderstanding person was held up
at tho point of a lighted cigar until he
proved his identity. Then apologies
would follow, coupled with an invitation
TO enter the nearest hotel and look
through the bottom of a glass.
About 3 o'clock the v~igilantes gave up
the patrol work and went to bed.
