He pre- nted himself at the office with the Intention t being worn In there, but it was suggested that he apply to Judge Lawrenson, of the Post Office department, as he had sworn in all the public printers, Mr. Benedict then went to the Post OMice department, where Judge Lawren- son administered the oath. He then returned to the Printing office. There were some unfin- ished matters remaining on the desk, com- prising estimates which Mr. Rounds formally clored up, whereupon he gracefully surren- dered the chair to his successor. MR, BENEDICT ADDRESSES THE FOREMES, The several toremen of printing, of binding, of paper warehouses, stable, ete. were then callod in and presented to the new chief, Mr. Benedict, after greeting each one individually, Addroaed ther collectively, fe aunrunved 16 them that each was continued in his present ‘ition for the time being, or until he should farther communicate with them: that at as early amoment as was practicable he would address to each some inquiries respecting the work of their divisions, the property in their hands, ete, and waula give directions In detail as to the work. Until such time the system existence under Mr. Rounds would continue in force. Mr. Benedict impressed upon his asaistants that he wanted to avoid any interruption or delay in the work of the office. He wanted the work to go forward smoothly and expeditiously; special vigilance in guarding and protecting publte property and. Interests was enjoined upon the men, and they were urged to industrious and attentive. They were expecially requested to be WATCHFUL AGAINST FIRE, a8 a conflagration now would be peculiarly disastrous, This injunction was particularly Impressed upon the foreman of the stables. All tne foremen were directed to report to the pub- Ue printer any work that might reach their desks outside the regular order and were noti- fied not to undertake any work of any kind unless ft had the nroval of Mr. Bene- dict. They were also directed not to make any. contracts for the purchase of new material or to sell any old material except upon the authority of the public printer. The stable man and others having charge of publle prop— erty were ordered to make an inventory of all such and submit it to the public printer. MR. BENEDICT TALKS TO THE STAR REPORTER. ‘The foremen were then dismissed to their re- spective duties, Mr. Benedict received THE STAR reporter very pleasantly, remarking that he considered ita right of the public to know what is going on in government departments, and that he was at all times pleased to keep the public posted through the press.

In other words, for the present the pay rolls will be maintained. AN IMPENDING FURLOUGH. Mr. Benedict said Mr. Rounds had advised him that the law requires that at the end ofthe first half of the fiscal year (on the first. of Jan- uary) one-half of the annual appropriation shall be on hand, unexpended; that the appropria- tion for the current ¥ was $350,000 less than he (Rounds) estimated, and as a conse- quence some of the force must be either fur- Jourhed or dismissed. Mr. Rounds preferred to leave such action to his successor, who will look into the matter and take such action as will enable him to comply with the law.

Elder or Bean, who claims to be the widow of James A. Bean, and over whose body she had quite acontest with members of Mr. Bean’s family Sunday, as stated in vester- day's STAR, expected to attend the funeral yes- terday afternoon, but during the day received anote informing her that the body had been buried at ten o'clock In the morning. So she did not follow the remains to the grave and there was no further scene. Mrs. Bean, as she insists upon being called,is an elderly woman, in stature, with white hair. M was about thirty-five years old. Mrs. Bean to-day gave tou Star reporter her version of the death-bed marriage which was attempted at her house, 925 9th street, Fri before Mr. Bean’s death, which occurred Sats day morning at 2 o’cloc! She denied that Mr, Bean was ostracised by bis family on her ac- count, and says he left them and refused to have any communication with them several years before he lived with her on account of some financlal trouble, They were married she saysin March, 1882, but the marriage was kept a seeret at ‘the time from Mr. Bean's relatives, because one of them was on Mr. Bean's bond as a constable, and as there were claims against Mr. Bean's bond they thought the bondsmen would think i! he could afford to marry he could afford to settle these claims, So they went to Philadelphia and were married by a Justiceof the peace, whose name she cannot recall, living on 9th street, between Rice and Vine streets, Since then she says she has been acknowledged as his wife, and known by _ his name, her receipts and other papers being made out in the name of Bean, She had during most of the time, she said, supported her husband. During his ‘last illness, she says, she had to attend to him and pay all expenses, as nis own relatives would not help, or helped very little. On Friday, she says, one of his relatives came to her house and insulted her by asking to see her marrlaze certificate. This aftected Mr. Bean very much, she sald. ‘They sent at once for a marrluge license and then for Dr. Townsend, rector of the Chureh of the Incarnation. Mr. ‘Bean was 80 feeble that he could not go through the lon; Episcopal marriage service. Dr. Townsend sai that he could not say Mr. Bean was conscious, He declined to abbreviate the service, He said also that it was unnecessary if they were married in Philadelphia, Sbe wanted a ntleman in the house to go for another min- ister, but he persuaded her to wait until morn- ing. Mr. Bean died at 2 o'clock the next morn- Ing. She says she did not want the marringo performed on account of property, as Mr. Bean ad nothing, but to set the matter of thelr mar- riage beyond dispute, She declined at first to have the body removed trom the house, bat’ yielded upon the persuasion of her friends, es- pecauly. asshe bad not the means at hand to ur} the body, and Mr. Bean’s brother prom- ised her that ahe should be recognized at the funeral as the widow.

DR. THOMPSON'S COMPLAINT, Dr. Thompson, speaking to a STA reporter to-day, denounced the action of (ol.

The complaint was that the street was Ulucked an Unreasonable length of Ume, considering that it Was a narrow street, aud ihe roadway was made still nurrower by the railroad tracks. The peruilt to build was issued January 26ub last, and the roudway had “been "obstructed nearly ever siuce tat date. Two mouths ago the contractor was ordered to remove Une tnt terlul, and did 50, but subsequenuy the street was filed again, "Mr. Entwisie said the build- ing regulutions gave Lue ipspector ample power Jn ‘such cases, He quoted section 26, wuich, aiter providing for the occupuney of stfects by material, guys: “All materials and rubbish shull be removed by the contractor or owner ot the property whenever so directed by the inspec- for.” He thought that a suit brought by Dr. Thompson might result in good If 1t brought about a judicial decision upon the question and estabilsued beyond dispule the legality of tue buliding reguiutions, CoL. LUDLOW SAYS IT WAS LOADED, Col. Ludlow, who returned to the city to-day, smiled when a STAR reporter spoke to him about @ threatened suit by Dr. Thompson, and said: “I thought the builder was responsivie. He Is the person to whom ll the notices were sentand who acknowledged them. I did not know that Dr, Thompson was buliding his own house.” Col. Ludiow said that the contractor had been nolitted repeatedly of violations of the buildi ulations, and the thing had continued.

There seems no chance of possing it as it stands. The reduction of the deposit on which to suspend eviction from 75 to 50 per cent of the rent in arrears, and the extension of the bill to next year's rent, have created suspicion. Moreover, the measure seems to be loosely drawn, and affords no protection against dishonest tenant, taking every op- Portunity of shirking payment, and then leaseholders are needlessly included. Itis true that to obtain the support of the Glad- stouians Mr, Parnell bas withdrawn his de mand forarevision of rentson the basis of Prices, The bill does not now re-open the land uct, The liberal leaders have, however, I no- tice, given COMPLETE ADHESION To THE MEASURE, ‘The last word will be spoken by Gladstone.
