HAULING TIE CITY MAILS.
Delay Caused by Lack of Mail wagons
A Contract Job.

SUPERINTENDENT Terrell, OF this postal
division, has recently had the contractor
| who carries the mails between the oaFan-
/ nah post office and the railroad dePots'
/ put an extra team in the service. for
! long time there were but two horses
DpOn the arrival of trains one team went
10 the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway depot, and the other to the Gen.
trail. The connections between the trains
are close. and in the afternoon there is
only about twenty-five minutes between
the arrival of the Atlanta and Western
mail and the departure Of the Northern
mail for Jacksonville. The through mail
from the West was thrown into the for
ward part of the wagon, and the local
mail was piled up in the rear.
An ordinary mail wagon is not the
lightest of vehicles, and the driver was
instructed to drive down West Broad to
Bay and around to the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway depot by way OF the
post office.
1t was safd to be too hard on the horse
to drive through Liberty street, which Is
unpaVed. Occasionally the wagon missed
catching the soHth-bouud train and the
w estern maiihad to lie over here. Since
tnc eAJId Team mas Deeu put III USE Ih0
local mail is brought direct to the post
office and the through mail is taken
across the city TO the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway depot. This third
wagon is an open vehicle. The post Office
authorities have notified the contractor,
who lives IN Ohio, that regulation mail
wagon must be used, but he or his agent
insists that heavy mail wagon cannot
be hauled through Liberty street with one
horse.
The contract has two years yet to run,
and it is said that WOodfau, the con-
tractor, gets $1,000 year.

A New Workers. Second Experience
with the Steerer in savannah.
An elderly gentleman who is one Of
New YOrk's substantial citizens, was
slightly surprised yesterday morning at
the famili arity with which he was ac-
cOsted . by a young man in Johnsons
square.
The young man was selling books
aud wanted to present his elderly friend
with two or three. The latter was not
right sure that the glib talking
young man knew him so we'll
as he pretended. A walk TO the young
mans room was proposed, tor the tourist
wanted to see some letters which the
book agent claimed TO have. After going
few steps the young man concluded that
he could not work his game on the tour
ist so he bolted of.
Five years ago the New Yorker stopped
in Savannah one day, and before he got
out was swindled out of large sum OF
money by a confidence man. The old
gentleman had not forgotten his expert
ence, and the young man who met him
yesterday had probably never heard OF
the other circumstance.

Lawrence Barrett Closes the Theatrical
Season in Savannah.
Lawrence Barrettpractically closed the
theatrical season in Savannah last night
in his great play Francesca da Rimini"
There was hardly vacant seat in the
theatre. The audience, IN spite of the
lenten season, was one of the most fash
ionable that has been in the theatre this
season. Mr.. Barrett was given a most
enthusiastic reception, and throughout
the play was repeatedly applauded. He
was recalled at the end OF every act.
The play was presented here by Mr.. Bar
rett three years ago and the actor was
given an ovation. The performance last
night was stronger than that OF three
years ago. The character "LanciOttO,"
which Mr. Barrett assumes, is strikingly
like that0f "Yorick," which is conceded
to be his best ersOnation. The personnel
