 The little game by which certain csl fices in nthe hre department were Iegis~ lated out of existence is developiuRi itself and will soon be before the pub He In all its heinousness. The first step was taken yesterday, when two applications for non-exlstinf ofilcet were filed with the board of safety, one from Captain Henry H. Heitmau. Of Engine company No 2 and another from Captain William Dodds of Engine company No H.. Neither of these men had had anything to do with the oblit. eration of the oidces mentioned. For that matter 1t Is mystery who is re. sponsihle, but 1t is taken for granted that Chief Snagg must have known something about it.
 However, Commissioner Van Keureu expressed himself pointedly on the ap- plications. He said he did not approve of making the appointments so soon after the decapitation of the recent holders of them. It would look uns seemly. He was under the impression that the offices were obliterated alto. gether, but Mayor Elton thought other. wise. He held that the amendment to the charter creating the offices has been passed. Commissioner Van Keuren held his ground. however, maintaining that the offices do not exist and will not until August 1. The applications were then filed.
 The resignation of Thomas J. Wil- ton, hoseman i'll the chemical engine company, was accepted. and Pasquale Cruce was appointed in his place. John Stevens was appointed on the cali dr6 force.

PRIMARY DEhENTIA,

SOMERvlLLE. N. J.. May 1s.-A remarkable psychological problem was presented for the study of the many alienists in the court when the trial of George Wood for the murder of George Williams. the grocer of Wat chung was resumed Wood, who, ac- cording to his counsel, is the victim of dual personality, on one phase of which he is under the influence of purely imaginary persons, variously described by Wood as Wolf" Mack" and n nttie black man." took the stand In his own defense.
 Throughout the long examination of his counsel and the rigorous cross questioning of the prosecutor Wood preserved perfectly calm demeanor and replied to all questions promptly and straightforwardly and in a fash. ion logically consistent. with his de- clared belief that he is possessed of .familiars" whose mandates he ii ir- yesistibly compelled to obsy and that of his actions when under their in- nuence he retains no recollection on regaining his normal Identity.
 Dr. Charles D. Lufburrow, city phy- sician of Plalnfield, who examined Wood after bis arrest, testified that he considered him insane. Dr. William Eteinach of Bellevue hospital said that Wood gave no indication of shamming insanity, and he believed him to be suffering from primary dementia. Dr. George H. Parker of New York and Dr. Wilgus of Brooklyn pronounced Wood to be an epileptic and had no doubt that he was subject to hallucina- tions.
 Illness of one of the jurors has de layed the trial and may bring the pro ceedings to a sudden stop. Charles H. Dufield, the third juror, Is reported i'll.
