Mr.. Creaner's appointment will

Bailey's resignation. will be regularly
accepted. Mr.. Dreamer may be sworn
in Immediately after the appointment
is announced. If he should take the
oath of office tonight he will perform
his first official act in Police Court
in the morning.
Mr.. Creamer's succession to the Of
flee was first predicted in the Morning
News. There was some doubt
whether Mayor Myers would appoint
him at once, or allow Deputy Clerk
Hernandez to perform the functions
Of the office until the election that
will be ordered by Council tonight.
This matter was settled yesterday
morning when Mr.. Creamer was as
sured that he would be appointed at
once.
Mr.. Joseph Molina will be appointed
as clerk of the Court of Ordinary, so
soon as Judge McAlpin accepts the
resignation of the retiring clerk. Mr..
Creamer will be presented with a
handsome gold pen by the members of
the office force at the time of his
resignation, with the accompanying
request that he qualify as clerk of
Council with it.
New Clerk of Court.
The new clerk of the court, Mr.. Mo-
lima, is in every way qualified to dis
charge the duties which will devolve
upon him, since he has held the position
before with distinction. He has been
an attache of the Ordinary's Office for
more than fourteen years. He has held
the position of recording clerk under
Judge McAlpin since the beginning
of his term of office. His appointment
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Mr.. Dreamer bespeaks
the high esteem in which he was held
by the Ordinary, and the appreciation
which his services inspired.
Mr.. Molina entered the Ordinary's
office July 1, 1885, under the late Judge
Hampton L. Ferrill, in the capacity of
assistant to Clerk Keilbach. He served
in this capacity for twelve years, until,
in 1901, on the death of Judge Ferrill,
Mr. Keilbach succeeded to the Ordi-
naryship, and Mr.. Molina was appoint
ed clerk of the court. In this capacity
he served for about three months,
when, owing to political differences, he
resigned, and supported Judge Meal
pin for Ordinary in the race which fol-
lowed. After Judge McAlpin's election
he was rendered the position of re-
cording clerk in March, 1902 and has
served in that capacity up to the pres
ent time.
Leaves a Vacancy.
Mr. Molina will be sworn in as clerk
tomorrow morning. 1t is probable
that the position of recording clerk
now held by him will be rendered Mr.,
Dinon, an attache of the Office who
has served as deputy clerk since the
administration of Judge McAlpin. II
is not now known who will fill the
position which will be left vacant be-
cause of the resignation of Clerk
Dreamer.
