zens who live in the Northeast are loud
in their praises of Captain Heffner and
the manner in which he did his duty.
He was always kindly and courteous
and unobtrusive In manner. These
qualities served to win the confidence
and respect of all with whom he came
in contact.
Lieut.. John a. Swindells, Of the Sew
enth precinct, began his career as a po-
lice officer in January, 1867. He was
sixty-five years OF age on the oath of
last October His territory at first was
in Georgetown. In 1872 he became ser
geant and i'm May, 1852, was promoted
to lieutenant
Swindells did duty along the water
front Of Georgetown in the days when
the rough gangs infested that section.
There was never a time that his au-
thority was not feared by the toughest
All lawbreakers look alike to- Swindells,
and there are many tales told of how
he and brother police worsted the worst
element of the river toughs.
For a number of years Lieutenant
Swindells has been in charge of the
Seventh precinct. His position will be
taken by Sergt. ANTHONY Shilling. now
on duty at the White House.
This change was not made without
causing some excitement in police cir
cles The resignation Of Captain Heft-
ner came unexpectedly. and at once
there was speculation as to his success

IT HE retirement from the Metro
politan Police Of Capt. James f.
Il Heffner. and the promotion as his
successor OF Lieut. John a. Swim
dells. which occurred on Monday. mark
ed important points in the careers Of
two men. whose long and devoted at
tenton TO police duty has won them
many friends among the citizens Of
Washington.
Their records are. I'm fact. very STINT
lar. Both were born in Maryland. and
both have enviable records as Union
soldiers. Both entered the army when
quite young and both served through
out the entire length of the struggle be
tween the North and the South
Both came to Washington Immediately
after the war and engaged in business.
which they gave up to enter the Met
ropolitan Police.
Captain Heffner. whose sixtieth mile
stone was passed last October. was ap-
pointed to the force January IS. 1859
From the very first he became recos-
nized as man who attended to bust
ness and was mindful of the interests
OF citizens in the neighborhood where
he was assigned
In 1878 he became acting sergeant, and
I'm 1883 was promoted TO the fun grade.
Five years service as sergeant were
passed with a clean record. and his
advancement TO lieutenant and subse
quently to captain was prompt.
The greater part of his service was

and himself. 1t was known that he
stood high in theeestimate OF his super

In the matter of the succession to the
lieutenancy. however. there was a wide
field from which to select, and great was
the interest excited. There were .To
classes Of available material among the
police sergeants; there were the older
men. who hau won the right 10 promo
ton by years of faithful service, and
there was the young blood, with
strength and the probability of a long
career in which to be useful
Within each class there were parties
and partisans. 1t was thought i'm some
circles that Major Sylvester would in
cline to the younger men, and Ser
geants Williams, Harley Anderson.
and several others were receiving the
odds.
The appointment was finally carried
to the Commissioner Office. and was
decided upon after several earnest con-
situations between Major Sylvester and
Commissioner West Then it was seen
that this theory had been in error. and
that it was the belief of the depart
ment that promotion should come to-
those who had served the longest, other

The merchants of Fairmont have
served notice on their agricultural
patrons that they have discontinued
handling dairy butter. The inova-
ton is an important one, as the
practice Of accepting dairy butter
in exchange for goods has been in
vogue from time immemorial. The
Fairmont merchants give as their
reason for the new order of things
that the demand for butter is almost
entirely for the creamery product
and that they find it very unprofit-
able to handle the product of the
dairy. They also contend that the
maker Of dairy butter can sell it di-
rect to the consumer for a cash com
pensation without any extraordina-
ry facilities for handling it, and
that the merchant must have the
latter in order to keep the article in
its best condition.
