Another Postofice Trouble-An Effort
to Displace an Old P. M.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing under
date of October I'd, says: "Mr. Samuel Miller has
been postmaster at Monkton, Baltimore county,
for more than thirty years, having been first APP
pointed under the administration of President
Pierce. Mr. Miller is also the agent of the North
ern Central Railway and of Adams Express at
Monkton, and keeps a country store located with
in a few feet of the railway. He is Republican,
but it is not known that any charges of ''offen-
sive partisanship" have been lodged against him.
Mr.. Bosley some time since opened store on the
other side of the railway, almost directly opposite
that of Mr.. Miller. The great ambition of
country storekeeper is to be made postmaster,
it helps business and gives him a certain impor-
lance. Mr.. Bosley has therefore cast longing
eyes at the mail bags which carried several
times day into Mr.. Miller's store, for Monkton
is quito an important point, and is among the
most desirable of the fourth class postofces. He
accordingly put in an application to be appointed
postmaster, and secured the Endorsement of Rep
resentative Shaw, ex- Representative Talbot and
others. Monkton is distributing point for sew
eral star-route postofices, and charges were made
that Postmaster Miller had not forwarded as
promptly as he should the mail for Hereford, one
of these offices. To-day the Rev. George X.
Warner, rector of st. James P. E. Church, near
Monkton; Mr. Jacob M. Pearce, Mr.. G. R. Lord
and Mr.. Thomas Miller son of the postmaster,
called at the Postofice Department with Mr.
Wisner the carrier of the Hereford mail. They
saw Acting First Assistant Postmaster G eneral
Fowler and Second Assistant Postmaster General
Knott. They submitted an affidavit of Mr.. Wis
to the effect that the delivery of the Here
ford mail was not the fault of Mr.. Miller. The
Rev. Mr. Warner, who headed the delegation,
submitted also protest against displacing Mr..
Miller and removing the postoffice from its pres
ent location. He said the change would result in
great personal inconvenience to the patrons of
the postofice, and that out of the fifty odd fam
lilies who receive their mail at Monkton, forty
eight are opposed to any change. There was no
politics in the matter, because Democrats as well
as Republicans wanted the postofice to stay where
it was. Mr.. Fowler, in reply, said that no action
would be taken in the case until the return Of
First Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson,
but he indicated that the convenience and wishes
of the majority were likely to prevail; so the
strong probability is that Mr.. Miller will con-
tinue IN he UhnsS'' IF tha mail hap ot Monkton
