and at p. m the water was above the cahir Eoor.
The vessel at this time was off Cape H1tteras.
and she fell off in the trough of the sea- which made
the situation more peril3us. She suddenly gave
lurch and went over on her side. The captain ana
crew lashed themselves, to the ehalnplates WITH
the exception of Loos, who was carried overheard
by a sea and drowned. The gale suddenly shifted
to the northwest. The seas knocking each OTHER

a report with reference to the resolution presented
at a recent meeting compelling surface railroad
companies to employ conductor on each of their

officials of the railroads and the legal opinions of

NO GAsIN THE STREETS OF FLATBUsH

NJ GAS IN iIfE SltEElo VI ILAlDCoh'
The streets of Fatbush, l.. l.. are now unlighted
at night, owing 10 a deadlock between the Board OF
Highway Commissioners and the gas company of
the village. There are 1913 street lamps, for which
nine miles of mains laid, some of them in parts
very small The prlcc OF the gas in the
streets has been $40 lamp per
year At meeting of The. Highway Com
nissione1s last week two of the three members
wanted to pay only $50 a lamp. The gas company
offered to supply gas at f3s lamp which, with the
fivefect burners used, would make the cost 81 30
Thousand feet The contract expired on Saturday
but not desiring to leave the town in darkness the
gas company lighted the lamps for two nights. As
the contract was not renewed on Monday the gas
was cut off. The Highway Commissioners met that
evening and two of them expressed willingness Ia
pay $34 lamp, while John LeffertS, the president
of the gas company, offered to supply the gas at 35
a lamp. No agreement reached, and last even
ing the streets were again dark. There is much
complaint on the part of some OF the residents,
especially as street crossings are very muddy

nEIANS 0E TIE MAI

Changes have recently been made in the carriage
of mails. by which delays caused III the delivery
of papers in the West and all mail matter IN the
Southwest. There were formerly two trains carry
ing evening mails from this city to the west one
or the Pennsylvania Railway at $50 and the other
on the New OTk Central at 500, the closing time
of both at the Post Office being the same. Two
| months ago a change made by which the mail
train the PcnnsvlVanla road LETT at p. ~,
making the closing time half an hour earlier n
change mOnth ago in the running schedule OF the
train made the time to Pittsburg five hours longer
than If had previously been. The mails on the
Pennsylvania road were then transferred 10 thc
train leaving NcwIork at q p IN. The PennSyl-
vania road has recently refused to carry the paper
mails on this train west of Pennsylvania, ana now
only letter mail can be sent by that route in the
evening. The reason given is that the tram is a
limited cxpreSs and DELAYS are caused by the mass
of mail matter to he carried For a few days after
the road refused to carry much mail on the tram.
n certain amount was picked ont ut haphazard ana
the rest left at the station. The paper mails when
include also newpaDer correspondence, now arrive
at ST. Louis at a later hour than formerly. num-
Der OF complaints has been made.
A istil more recent change Is that by which the
trains on all the railroads south of Richmond cX-
cept the coast line roads miss connection with the
early morning train from this city CARRYING morn
ing newspapers and early mails. The points
affected, given by Superintendent Riblett of the
order department of the Post Office, are Atlanta
Antonio and other points in the Southwest. Mails
to jacksonville and sothcr places on the Southern
coast not delayed. The connecting tram Tor
the points mentioned now starts at S:3U a. H.. III
stead OF 1880 a. IN.
Postmaster Pearson was asked yesterday what
the cIlect of these changes would he in business
circles in this city. He said The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has always heretofore been
especially accommodating in attempting to faclli
tate the rapid transmission of the mails, but for
some reason it has refused to carry these mails
and considerable delay Will be caused. The news
companies the evening papers and the correspond
cnts will lie principally affected by the delay of
the Western mail. / do not know the reason of the
change in the Southern mails. The DELAYS will
affect a large number of business men. Places IN

quickly than before, and they felt very much de-
lighted But when the privilege IS withdrawn after
they have enjoyed it for time they begin sending

School Report.

Report Of Morris Graded School for the
six weeks ending Feb. 10, 1882:
AS the work of our second month of
school in the winter term was quite sc
riouSly interrupted by the holiday vaca-
tion it was thought best to postpone the
monthly examination until the middle OF
the third month. The final examination
for this term will be upon Monday and
Tuesday, March Goth and 2lst. During the
past six weeks the fourth room has been
furnished and is now occupied by the high
school. We are now able to grade pupils
more closely than ever before and to make
our work more effective Unnecessary
absence of pupils has been almost entirely
done away with, but we still find hardness
quite annoying. We call the attention of
parents to this fact by publishing in this
report the names of all who have been
tardv, with the number of times and the
total number of minutes lost by each, and
ask th"m to help us to abolish this evil
also. Following is Il report of each de-
partment:
