THE APPOINTMENTS.
Nessrs. Kantner and Reber VIII Announce
Them Tomorrow.

Pottsville, Dec. 29.-The court house and
prison appointments, to be made by the
County Commissioners on the first Of the
year. have not been announced yet, but
Commissioners.electK Kantner aud Reber have
practically agreed between them for an equal
division Of the appointments. They would
have met to-day for final decision, but Mr..
Kantner was detained at home because of
sickness in his family The matter was
therefore deferred until to morrow, when the
appointments will be announced.
The bone of contention has been the
wardenship, this appointment being conceded
to Mr. Reber. The latter has experienced
some difficulty in deciding which of the sew
eral candidates to select. 1t can be stated
on authority of one who is close to both of
the Commissioners that John L. Hassler, of
Shenandoah, will be named as the warden.
The latter is a relative of Commissioner-elect
Reber, and for that reason there has been,
and still exists grave doubt about the court
confirming his appointment. The Commits
siOners, however, will. it is stated, make the
appointment and let the court decide the
question of confirmation.
Mr.. Hassler was in town yesterday. and in
company with CommissiOner-elect Reber,
called on Judge Bechtel. The latter in
formed them he could not say what a
majority of the court would DO, but reminded
them that G. d. Arters was withdrawn as a
candidate for warden because his son.in-law
was County Solicitor at the time Brewer was
locked out, and he would advise the with
drawsl of Hassler.
Should Hassler be withdrawn or fail Of
confirmation, it is safe to say that Samuel
Cummings of Schuylkill Haven, who is at
present warrant clerk, will be named as Mr..
Reber's favorite for the wardenship.

Good Dining Room Girl

From Pottsville Chronicle.
Ex-Congressman Brumm is taking no hand
in the local scrap for places on the hill. He
stated to-day that the scrap could be settled
without him, but that he expected something
to drop very shortly which would prove that
he is not yet political back number. This
statement is supposed to mean that Brumm
expects to be appointed U. s. Marshal, now
filled by ex-Congressmsn Reilly. Or Brumm
may expect something better, as his friends
claim he will be given something worth
having.
