TREMBLING AMONG CLERKS.
Recorder Cheatham Dismisses Sew
erai aud MANY Fear His AK.

eral and Many Fear His AK.
For some days past there has been n
rumor that there would he many changes
in the office OF the recorder OF deeds, all u
no little uneasness has existed among the
clerks as a result.
Yesterday morning two clerks in tie
copyists' office, Miss Cora u. Nero, an
appointee of Recorder Taylor, and Mis-
Lidia b. Harrington, who was appoirted
in 1890 by then Recorder Bruce, were
dismissed, and Mr.. S. l.. +, Buchanan,
OF North Carolina, and a Nj. Mason, .f
Illinois, were appointed to fill the va
cancies L. s. Hull, OF Ohio, was also
appointed TO fill a vacancy caused by
death some weeks ago. Yesterday after
noon another clerk, Miss Halle b. vii
liams was dismissed, and Mis-. Elizabeth
Sullivan, of PenEsylvania, was appointed
in her place.
1t Is quite certain that the ne W recorder
viii displace all OF the appoiuteps of his
predecessor, and some say that a whole
sale dismissal win take place with.n the
next few days. 1t is the intention OF
Recorder Cheatham, as told by him 10 a
Times man, to proceed slowly in the Sc
lection CT his office foIee fer Tie reason
that he desires to raise the standard Of
efficiency to the highest possible mark.
While there is strong inclination TO
displace some of the. older clerks, fIon a
standpoint oil length of seryiee, Recorder
Cheatham is not Inclined to make any
change in the position of deputy recorder,
held so many years by Col. Schayer, and
It is learned ON good authority that he
will net lie disturbed.

PROF. FANc1ULLl,s CASE.
Report Submitted to Col. Haywood.
hut No Action Taken.

The Marine Band, under the direction of
Prof. FanciulH, gavea concert on the parade
ground OF the Marine Barracks yesterday
afternoon. There was no suggestion OF
the trouble through which Prof. Fanciulli
has passed, and he twirled his baton as
ably as is his wont. The report of the
arrest is in the hands OF Col. Haywood,
comlnandapt OF the barracks, and SO far
as could be learned last night, had OF been
acted on, although it is understood that
when action liz taken no publicity Will be
given To the proceedings other than the
result OF the investigation, should one be
ordered If Col. Haywood should submit
the report with recommendations to the
Navy Department, nothing would be known
at the barracks till the department had
taken action.
Prof. Fanciulli appeared happy last night
and said, as he has done on other occasions,
that he deeply deplores the unpleasant posi-
ton in which he inadvertently became
placed. He maintained his reticence abont
the facts in the case and contented himself
with observing that he regretted the un-
fortunate incident. There is "a feeling
among the officers of the Marine Corps
stationed in Washington that the matter
VIII proceed no further.
