married Mr. Van Wyck, th former Mayor. Thewedding took place In the Broadway Tabernacleand only a few Intimate friends and relatives ofthe bridegroom were present.

was nothing in the reports which could be accepted

or Riven any weight. As a result of my Investiga-

the Commissioner, he thought that Mr.Harbarger'a

services were useless, and he was therefore un-wlllinK to continue to pay Mr. Harburger anything

more for such services, and he therefore discharged

him."it-sardine th.- statement that Mr. HaibMgar was
