MrRDERERs UPoE MURDERED =
Hardly had Stokes been reconducted to
his cell after his sentence when he was
overrun with reporters from the various
daily papers, all of whom insisted on
being very social with him and exhibited
q good deal of anxiety to know how he
felt" This would, to anybody but a
New Yorker, seem the climax Of repor-
torial cheek, and, in fact, all the report
ers except the Herald man seemed to
view il in that light, for after extracting
all the information they were able from
a." Ed, as he is familiarly styled, they
departed off1Ceward to write the matter
up. The Herald reporter being struck
by happy thought, fingered in the rear
and after the rest were safely away,
went round calling on the other murder
ers in the building, canvassing for their
opinions on the result of the trial.
King, > says the victorious representa-
tive Of the Herald, "who killed O'Niel
on Pine street, was somewhat shocked.
Scanned, who is charged with the muir
der Of Thomas Donohue, has not said
anything, with the exception of asking
how Stokes stood it during the sentence.
Foster, who has got stay Of proceed
ings and is on the second tier of the
prison, has felt very Respondent since he
has heard of the conviction Of Stokes.
His appetite has been affected and he
seems Supplied Sharkey, who sAot
Dunn, said to another prisoner, BY gra-
cious, he is gone, Stokes is. Simmons
has behaved with logged and sullen
obstinacy, and refused to say anything
about Stokes or his sentence" 1t IS a
comfort to know all these things, and
the enterprising reporter who took so
much pains to enlighten the public
richly deserves its gratitude.

RAILWAY POSTAL SERVICE. Post
master General has prepared and sub

preparations, an important bill advanc-

postal service throughout the country.
The principle of the bin is payment in
proportion to the weight of mails trans
ported, the number of miles carried and
the frequency of transmission, instead
of the present arbitrary rate established
by the Postmaster General. The whole
amount required under the improved
plan, in addition to that now expended,
will be about seven hundred thousand
dollars annually.

PLATFORMS oN CARS. Many Of the
most terrible Of the recent railway dis
asters have been aggravated by the
crushing Of the platforms, which are
made of light material. When the crash
comes, these tlimsy boxes give way, and
the cars are thus permitted to "tclc-
scope, " usually causing loss of life and
limb, whereas if they were made more
substantial the shock might be broken
and the subsequent peril obviated. 1t is
singular that this great defect in the
construction of railway cars has not
been remedied long ago.
