GOSSIP ABOUT
SOME PEOPLE

William II. Lungren, foreman OF thel
Pennsylvania railroad car shops, is an
excellent example OF what strenuous
ness will do. BY strict application and
hard work, he has risen from a minor
position i'm the shop to his present po-
sition, but the change in his position
has not made a change in the man. In
other words, his less fortunate friends
may expect the same treatment now
from their superintendent as they did
from the humble workman. What a.
shame there are not more like him.
Creamer Ellis, usher at the French
street station, who was appointed this

be glad to hear of his advancement.

throughout the city, and is popular
with those who frequent the office.
George Janyler, who for a number of
years has been Deputy Clerk of the
Peace, fills that position with much
credit to himself. The position is nat
urally a responsible one as the dep

office, but also acts as clerk of the
Court Of General Sessions and Levy
Court.

works harder for the good of the work

time is spent in looking after the in
terest of that institution.

First Infantry, N. G. d., although a
comparatively young man, is well post
ed on military affairs. Mr.. Cotton has
been adjutant of the regiment for sew
eral years, and as such attends to
most all the clerical work.
The present term OF the Superior
Court has been a busy one for Andrew
p. Sanborn, who since the death of
Levi c. Bird, has been attending to
the largest portion of that noted law
yer's enormous practice. Mr.. Sanborn
is hard worker and is we'll liked by
other members of the bar.
John II. Rodney, although one of the
Oldest living members Of the New Cas-
tie county bar, is by no means an old
looking man, and gets around much
faster than a large number Of the
young attorneys. Mr.. Rodney enjoys a
paying practice. and is credited with
knowing more law than any member
Of the bar.
Captain Peter B. Ayars. of the local
custom house, is very popular among
the shipping men who come to this

trician, and one of the most valuable
men in the service of the big concern

is connected.
Chief Of Police Black does not de
pend upon his officers to do the worl
of the department. He is always on
hand whenever there is work to do
even IL 1t is connected directly will
the Police Department. The goo,
work he did at the fire at the work
house is an evidence OF this.
