Linden before him this morning for over tho two engineers of the defunct East River Bridge Commission who have been, superintending ihe work on the new structure, and explained to them his attitude with regard to the neyv bridge. L. L. Buck, the chief engineer of the new East River bridge, w.ts In consultation with tho new Bridge Commissioner for nearly three quarters of an hour, discussing, tho new bridge. Mr.

Lindenthal did nearly all the talking and he laid down his plans as re gards that structure to Mr. Buck in no un mlstakable Mr. Lindenthal laid particular stress en the delay that has characterized the laying of the cables on the new bridge and gave Mr. Buck understand that there must be.no more 'if It 1rt fiitnr.

If tho contractors have to make their men work overtime in order to complete the work they must do it. Every effort; every pressure that can be brought to bear to that end must be made to complete the. bridge." Mr.

Lindenthal, when he arrived at the offices of the. department this morning was met by" Deputy Commissioner Thomas H. York. Mrr York accompanied the new Commissioner through the various bureaus of the "department and Introduced him to the em ployesl When this was done the Bridge Commissioner retired to hla private office, where Chief Engineer Buck and Assistant Engineer O.

ART COMMISSIONERS NAMED. The Mayor Also Hakes a Couple of Office Appointments The Boutine of the Day. Nothing like the air of quiet dignity and decorum that pervaded Mayor Low's office 11 thin morning has ever been known In New York before on the day after a change of city administrations. The contrast with former times was almost weird In Its completeness. There was not a politician or an office seeker in sight, all day and the new Mayor was left practically undisturbed in the performance of his real duties.

Xever before in the history of the city have the place seekers so restrained themselves. It i more than restraint they arc exercising, however; it is self effacement, and the best thing about the change is that it is entirely the new Mayor's doing and he is immensely pleased with his It is a plain, unvarnished fact that the City Hall corridors all" day were as quiet as they are any week day of the year. A stranger would never know that anything had happened to break the routine of the past week or month, unless he peered Into the Mayor's office and caught sight of the big floral pieces that adorn Mayor Low's desk. Thee and new faces among the officials and attendants are tho only signs of the revolution in municipal affairs begun last November and finally accomplished yesterday. The strange thing about it all Is that the place hunters who.

in former years, have infested the corridors and ante rooms In droves, have so early learned to take Mayor Low absolutely and literally at his word. After his election he announced that he would not give himself any coneern what ever over the appointments; that after he had named the heads of departments and bureaus they would be left to pick out for themselves their assistants, and that applications for such places would not be considered by him, neither would they be forwarded. Belief that Mayor Low meant what he said is the controlling reason for his present im munlty and consequent quiet of mind. Whether he knew that he was accomplish I Ing is uncertain, but he found the great 1 secret of being left alone to perform the duties for which he was chosen last and that he entered upon those duties with a zest was apparent, to an wno saw nun. Official business went ahead with unhalting: celerity and the new men at the helm seemed to be having no difficulty whatever apace with it.

The Mayor received a few old friends who dropped In just to congratulate him andi wish him success, made a few appointments nnd received' the newspaper men during the1 i The new appointees were two members of, the Municipal Act Commission.

Leroy Young, Under Treatment at Seney Hospital, Gets an Hour Out to i Fulfill Matrimonial Enrawmsnt. i A drive from the hospital' to W'illiamsburgh, a wedding, and then a drive back, was the remarkable nuptial programme of Leroy M. Young yesterday. Mr.

Young is a lawyer of Babylon, and his presence in Brooklyn for the past week was due to a sudden attack of appendicitis, which arrived In his system just in time to prevent his marriage with Miss Grace Alma Salmon on Christmas. Miss Salthon is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Price Salmon of Greenport.

She and Mr. Young were to have been married on December 25, but a few days before the holidays the groom elect fell ill at his homo in Babylon. The physicians of the town correctly diagnosed his case, and, by the application of ice, they endeavored to allay the Inflammation incidental to appendicitis. Finally Mr. Young was removed to Seney Hospital, in South Brooklyn, and there the Ice treatment was continued, with gratifying results.

So gratifying Indeed was the outlook that Mr. Young and Miss Salmon determined to be married on New Year's Day, it the hospital surgecua would consent to provide a groom for the occasion. Mr. Young improved witn such rapidity that Superintendent Bo i Fifty third street. Manhattan, and John E.

He said bo would have a conference later In the day with Controller Grout to find out what matters are pending before calling any meetings of the Board of Estimate or Sinking Fund Commission. One of his visitors commented upon the marked contrast the scene at the City Hall to day presented to that the day after Col onel Strong was inaugurated, when hordes of office seekers besieged the building. "This is a great improvement." replied Mr.

Low. The remark led to talk of the last Mayor of the old City of York, Colonel Will iam L. Strong, whoso portrait in oil. pre sented by General C. H.
