Mehrmann settled the Morgue ques tion once for all to night by entering into an agreement with Albert Brown the present Morgue keeper to retain the business of the county The matter was not settled until after a hard fight in which nearly all of the undertaken in town have been pitted against Brown The Morgue has been under the charge of Brown off and on for many years and competitors in the undertaking business were determined that he should no longer retain the county business which ls con slderable All sorts of Influences were brought to bear upon Coroner elect Mehrmann to have him change the place of the Morgue When It was announced that Steward Tobln of the Receiving Hospital would be appointed chief deputy coroner everybody thought that McCarthy woula surely get the Morgue In fact It was generally accepted as a fixed thing that he would get the county business The announcement to night that the Morgue would stay where it ls was rather unexpected Browns victory over the other undertakers is ascribed to the Influence of Coroner Baldwin Treasurer elect Feldler and a number of other prominent politicians The fight Is one of long standing but somehow or other Brown always seems to come out on top Tobln will not now get the Job of deputy coroner It was offered to him but he does not want to work for Brown so he has definitely refused Presumably Henry Quellin the
