Postmaster Senler DiSappearS.

From the New York Sun, to-day.
George Senior, the postmaster on City Island.
disappeared from his home a eek ago yesterday.
MONDAY night an unsigned letter was received by
Edward II. Howell, the assistant postmaster,
which was dated Rochester, n. Y, and was In
Semlers handwriting. The note said "Break the
news gently to my wife, and may God help her. VI
An Inspector will probably arrive tomorrow from
Washington to aKamine the accounts Of the post
master. Until then 1t cannot be discovered
whether or not Senior is defaulter. 1t Is
runored, however, that he left the affairs OF his
Office In a complicated condition. Before his de-
parture he borrowed from friends about 500, and
persuaded his wife to obtain an additional mort
gage upon her house. In this way he obtained
300 more. Senior Is Is years Old. He was APP
pointed postmaster In May, 1885, by President
Cleveland. His salary was 1850 per annum.

Our Street Nomenclature.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR;
Earnestly desire to second the pertinent pro-
tests and timely suggestions Of your correspond
ent "Cirizen," in The STAR of the 10th inst, re-
lating TO the street nomenclature OF Washington.
As claimed, congress should assume Its proper
authority and put stop at once to this abuse OF
locating and naming the streets and avenues &C.,
OF this city, with nothing to Indicate their location
or direction, and with no general design whatever.
Not only those enumerated by "Ctizen, but nearly
a hundred more, have been christened and opened
and improved apparently without any authority
OF law. Would II not be well to strive to check
modify the encroaching irregularities on the gen.
eral design OF the city proper before we struggle
on, against such adverse Influences, to bring the
suburbs into substantial harmony Herewith?
