The Builling~Berleged hy a Horde of Hungry OMcesSeekers, The County Bullding presented alively ap- pearance yesterday morning, the oceasion belug the outgolng of Bheril Agnew and the incom- ing of Sherit Kern. TLong befors the bullding had been opencd the steps wero fliled with shiv- ering und fmpntient lookers nfter place. Tha most of the crowd had come on promises already made them, but there were thoso who had been = little slow with thelr petitions, and who had recelved no promlscs of any kind, but expected to be able to annoy Kern Into making them pledges that they should have some morsel, all tlhe way fromn office-boy to custodian. When the doors gere pushed aside, the crowd surged in, blocking the entire hall, and in a fow miuutes pissage to the Sherifi’s office wns al- most lnpossible. The crowd amused itsolf wondering where Mr, Kern could be, and when that distinguished gontleman arrived, which was about 8 o'clock, he wondered, ss he squeczed through the mass with dozens of thumbs protruding from his button-holcs, whera thae crowd could have come from, and whetler what ho was experlencing was tho average of the beauties and delights clustering about the offlco hie was sbout to enter upoi. Reaching the office-door, after much hard work, he knocked, and {1t was opened to him and his followers, and a moment later he wns lost to the crowd behind the desk in his private office. Hls rceeption there, however, was quite covl, notwithstanding that a few of those he had an- nounced ns having appointed had preceded him, The retiring 8herift waa not at hand, neither was any one authorized to act for him in turu- ne over the cflects of the ofllee, but just now he got hoid of tne oflico he caunot explaln, ex- cept that he came in when AEucw was out, and thiat he took chargo In the nbacnce of any one elso belyp found to perfurin the dutles, At all events, Mr. Kern must have feit ahabbily treat- ed by thoje he was about to succeed, for fho léast they could have done would haye heen to bs present snd make tho trausfer in a courteous and businessliko way. Ho could not expeet o very hearty wels come under the circumstances, of course, aud, expectiny cominon courtesy, Lo was dlsnr olnt- ed, for thero was nothing of the kind, ie had been In posscssion, however, but o short time beforea fow of Aguew's cmployes began to drop in, aimoug othiera Tim Bradley and Patrici Dunne. Thelr presence added very Httlo to the cheerfulvess of the scene, for TIE PORMER WAS SULKY over the refloction that he was on the eveof surrendering a_place he had held for twenty- thiree years, and untli he kad grown to belleve that ho was Indlspensable, and” o utterly re- fuscd to mive any Informution or do anything that would faciliiate the trunsfer, Mr. Dunuo was far more clvil, and to his credit Lo it sald, although hoe s about to return to Peoris, ha was just as obliging as he could bo and ready to glve any information in his power, and the flrat u.cY in tho transfer waa wmado by him producing the paners of the oflice and coni- mencing the preparation of n schedule thevcof. ‘While this work was 5olng on Bradley was en- gaged in clearing his desk for "his successor of the accumulations of years. In ono of the drawers e found the sliroud and biack cap in which Driver was exccuted o few years ago, which he took the time to exbibit asa rure spee- imen, and to crack some jokes over for the mmusement of the Bherlf-elect. ‘While tho preparation for the formal transfer was belng made in the Bherlls oflics prover, the samoe work was in progress at the jall, whore tho reception of tho ncw manngement was full of plausantuess.

Kern, however, knew little of what was gu|n{: on ontside of hls private offlce, for, losing sight of tho surging crowd In the halls, he hud ecttled down to distributing commissions to his appointces, and dlrcctln‘: them how to be sworn in, now and then calling for such o8 ho deslred from the expectant moss. This was the work of about an hour, but he had made hut little proxross before discoyering that wmore balllifs bad been appointed than he had places to fiil, having mude the mistake of as- slzning two too many to the Criminal Court, The nfstake was as ‘soun known to his ap- olntees, and o dread settled upon then all us rhcy appreclated the fact that tweof thelr num- ber” would. havo to bodrecprl.l.
