THE NEEDED POSTAL STATION.
An Interview with Assistant Postmaster
| Parker In Regard 10 IL.

How about the postal station on Capt.
tol Hill?" asked a REPUBLICAN, representative of
Assistant Postmaster Parker yesterday.
81 think" said he, e. that as soon as Postmaster
Anger returns its establishment will be recon-
mended. 1t is very much needed. There is no
reason why man should be compelled to come
from Capitol Hill OF the Navy Yard way down
here to the post-oiiice In order TO get money
order, and the placing of q postal station in
that locality would meet just want of that Sec
tion of the city. nm told that the Postmaster
General has assured some member OF Congress
that us soon as the matter is in proper shape the
necessary orders for Its establishment shall be
given"
Don't you think" said THE REPUBLICAN,, "that
there should be another station established also in
| the northwestern part Of the cityY
"Yes," said Major Parker. One might with ad
vantage be placed, say ON Massachusetts avenue,
| beyond Seventeenth street. That would be con-
| vencnt to very large number of people,"
"In speaking OF these stations" said THE RE-
PUBLICAN, you mean regular stations, similar to
| the one In Georgetown, do you not"
| "Yes; where there shall be opportunity for pro-
| curing money. orders and for registering letters
just the same as there is at the office, and
| from which deliveries of mail matter shall be
made"
Would what are called substations answer the
wants of the citizens of the localities of which
have spoken?" continued THE REPUBLICAN,.
"No, don't think they would. substations
would hardly give them any additional facilities.
Stamps would be sold and mail received; but then
stamps can be bought at drug stores and letters
can be dropped into the boxes. What is wanted
in this city are two stations where every facility
that the post office proper possesses be afforded
| The petition that was submitted asking for
the Capitol Hill station contained the sig
natures OF nearly every business man In that
vicinity and large number of property holders
1t is a petition that should command. and win nc
doubt receive, careful consideration" Satisfied
that Assistant Postmaster Parker was fully alive to
the wants of the citizens Of the capitoline section
and that establishment OF postal station there
was but the result of time, The REPUBLICAN, said
good day and skipped,

Church, which was found TO be Mt least fifteen
inches out ofplumb In a southeastery direction.
most careful examination was made with i'm
proved instruments and the report Of the engineer,
which will probably be made in u few days, will
recommend that the spire be braced in its present
position any attempt to straighten would strain
and probably break 1t beyond repair.
The Commissioners have been requested TO en-
large the alley extending from to p street north
west between Sixth and Seventh streets, and east
of the new Henry School building, so as TO form q
street.

The report of the seaer Of weights and measures
for July states that the receipts were si1250. and
that four dealers were caught using fraudulent
measures, which were coniscated.
First Comptroller Of the Treasurer Lawrence has
decided, in the case Of whether payment for land
condemned and used can be made in the case Of
an alley condemned and partially opened, that ex.
animation Of the appropriation act Of June T. $780,
shows that II land be condemned for alley 1t is
the right Of the Commissioners to have II opened
at any time IT. however, that portion Of the alley
which lies upon the property Of one real estate
owner is actually condemned and used for an
alley, the owner of such land is entitled to pay of
the assessment lawfully made in his favor for his
land taken, without reference to the question
whether the alley has been actually opened and
used all the way through. Under the appropria-
ton act, the ground for the whole alley In square
$50 has been condemned, but the ground OF any
particular owner has not been actually used, such
owner would not be entitled to payment

THE RIVER FRONT.
Preparations for the Dredging of the
Channel Commenced.

There is now hope that some perma-
nent improvement may be made upon the river
front, as the work Of dredging the canal for which
a contract was awarded to the National Dredging
Company, as stated In THE REPUBLICAN, some time
ago has commenced to the extent of driving piles
for n tramway to be used in transporting the mud
and dirt taken from the channel to the flats below
Long Bridge. The tramway will be laid on the
line OF the Washington channel, and con.
structed so that the mud can be dropped
from the dredging machine into the cars, which
will be run of on tracks laid on piles upon incline
SO that the dump can be made into shutes which
will slide the mud of as far as practicable from
the tramway. Dumping cars are now under the
hands Of the workmen on the river front at the
foot OF Ninth street. and are nearly all completed
They are not unlike the ordinary cart-body, made
to reyolve, and are Of more than double the usual
cart size These are fitted with flange wheels ar
ranged to run on the tramway

what the joint committee will do so far as arrang-
ing for this carnival is concerned, but Tue RE.
PUBLICAN would suggest that Mr.. William Dickson
is the most suitable man to be given the direction
Of affairs, In the small attempt at carnival that
was made here ten years ago Mr.. Dickson was the
leading spirit and to his energy and skill was due
the success of the celebration at that time. He IL
therefore eminently fitted TO take charge Of the
