Mr.. Eggleston etated that DIR. Hamilton
had said that if Cables proposition was &C.
eepted, any other coal miner could have
track service ON the same terms with Cable.
On the other hand, Mr.. Holmes, of Daven.
port, had said that Mr.. Lloyd, one of the di.
rectors, had said that no one could have
track service without taking at least $780,
900 worth of stock in the road. Mr.. Eggles-
ton thought that it was necessary TO talk to
this company pretty strongly. After all, il
was composed Of men, and money was all it
was after.
DIR. Truesdale informed the board that
Mr.. Thompson, president of the Western
Union road, says that if Rock Island votes a
subscription to the Peoria road, and builds
It's portion up TO Port Byron Junction, he
will meet it there with his road. DIR. Trues-
dale thought that if this city voted the $780,
900, it would either secure the Moline route,
or compel Cable to sell Internationally.
We refer the Dr. to Mr.. Cables letter, pub
lished in this paper.
Mr. Swiler stated that he had that day re.
ceived call from Mr.. Vsnsant, who in
formed him that, Notwithstanding the report
to-the contrary he intended to locate q

season.

PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT.,
APPOINTMENTS OFFICE,
MAY 10th. 1898

GENTLEMEN Your letter Of the 23d ult., to
the Hon. E. C. Ingersoll, has betn referred by that
gentleman to this Office. Your postmaster is in
error in saying that recent decision of the Post
master General authorizes him TO collect postage
on papers printed in your town and handed out
TO subscribers calling for them. The Postmaster
General has made no such decision, nor has he
any intention of doing SO. Postmasters are not
required by law to receive any papers which do
not come in mails but objection is made to their
receiving papers printed in their towns TO be
handed out to persons calling for them, as an act
of courtesy, without charge, when they can do so
without interfering with the legitimate business
of their Offices. At large Offices where letter
riers are employed, the 18th sec. of the act of
1853, authorizes contracts to be made with pub
hsners for the delivery of newspapers from the
oo4es IN such large offices and by the letter carri-
ers a. prices to be agreed UPON but this does not
apply to thirdcass Offices where no letter carriers
are employed. Your Postmaster has, no doubt,
been led into error by the publications. of some
news-monger, who had undertaken to snlightea
the public upon subjects wherein his own infor-
nation was sadly defective Postmastars shoula
be governed by the law and instruotions from ths
department., rather than by non-officIal nubI;cas
nons. / am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant.
