Postmaster Fowler informs us that he has
as yet received no notice of any change in
the postal regulations respecting the mailing
of matter upon the trains, and neither have
the postal clerks. He thinks that if such a
ruling had been made by the department, it
would certainly have been heard from by
this time. The item in respect to this has
been pretty widely circulated over the State
but just what authority there.is for it, is not
certain If the government should make
such a ruling, it would probably he for the
protection of fourth class postmasters, whose
revenue is derived from the cancellation of
stamps. Until official notice of such a ruling
is received. people may feel safe to mail let

THE FAIR.
Those Who Won Prizes at the
COntests.


The attendance at the Woman's Relief
Corps Fair Yesterday was far greater than
at any previous session, and the Armory
Hall was so crowded during the evening
as to render dancing almost all impossi-
bility. The lunch which was prepared
by the members OF the Frank Bartlett
Corps was pronounced by those who pa:
took OF it to be the best of the week bv
long odds, and this was fully confirmed
by the amount taken in, viz. 800. The
evening being devoted to the drawings of
the various articles which had been vot
for during the week, proved most excit-
ing one, as the chief events were hotly
contested by the partisans of the candi-
dates. The most interest was CEN
tered IN the crazy quilt for
the most popular fireman, Mori-
arty, Strohm and Chick being warmly
supported by their respective friends
Money was put up faster than it was
possible 10 alter the figures on tie board
toward the closing of the polls; and
when the result as follows was an
nounced the widest enthusiasm pre-
vailed for some minutes: Dan Moriarty
1850, Thomas Strohm 935, Charles
Chick 2571a, P. Myers 80. c. Miles 8, H.
Gray AZ Total amount realized, $244.
This quilt was the work of Mrs. Will
Carskaddon, assisted by Mesdames Pat
ION and Mcdonald.
Officer Mickey, of the East Side, won
the handouts for the most popular police
man, with SO votes.
There was no contestant in the field
with Mrs. Miller for the prize for doing
most work soliciting for the fair, conse-
quently she carried Of the reward she so
richly deserved.
The other prizes were awarded as fol-
lows:
Willow chair, Miss Lucy Moore crazy
quilt sofa cushion, Mrs. Cowles; parlor
set OF furniture, Mrs. Burgoyne; hand
PAINTED apron for most popular young
lady, Miss Carrie Patterson most popu
lar young lady in the corps, Miss Edna
Davies; and Mikado Booth fan, Mrs.
Syrenus.
The fair was a financial success, the
amount taken in for the week being es-
timated at about $1,000

1t Results Ira No hGtCe k0r Any
office.
The Democratic members of the new
Council held caucus last evening in
Mavor-elect John Bryson's Office in his
new block. The meeting was informal
and its result was awaited with more than
ordinary interest by those who hoped tc
be assured by its action that they had
been favored with an appointment AT
half-past O'Clock those who were not
Councilmen were politey requested to
leave the rooms, and for two hours they
waited patiently for the caucus to come
to an end. T,ere were no curtains over
the windows and the balloting was
watched with interest, but nothing could
be Cleaned from the countenances oi
those inside. 1t was imagined at one
time that an agreement had been reached
and that Mr.. B. Cohn had bee, chosen
President, but it appeared that this was
not so, for when the caucus
dissolved and its members appeared
on the street they said that no
agreement had been reached on any sub
ject. 1t was stated that each member
present had different choice for chair
man, and that the names of DR.. Bryant,
B. Cohn, Captain Barrett, j. F. Hum
phreys, j. Kuhrts. H. T. d. Wilson and
E. R. Tbrelkeld were found in the hat
which was passed around. This result,
it was said, was not changed throughout
the caucus, although several ballots were
taken. The solution of the question as
to Who shall he Chief of Polica uas mn
easier than the other. Fifteen names.
as mentioned in the HERALD yesterday,
were placed in nomination, and the re-
port of the members OF the caucus was to
the effect that no one was determined
upon, and that every person at the
caucus had q candidate Whether there
was an agreement reached it is difficult
to tell, for the members were sworn to
seclesy, and the only thing they would
say was that they had done nothing.

A STRANGE BURIAL,
Otto Ebert Arrested on n Charge ot
of Suspicion.

Yesterday morning Sheriff Kays re.
ceived word that woman was missing
under peculiar circumstances from the
neighborhood OF the Cahuenga Pass. II
was related that woman who had been
living with Otto Ebert had suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared, and that Otto
had also departed. The matter was given
over to Deputy Sheriff Henry Russell
and last night Otto was booked at the
County Jail on suspicion. The story Of
the case is about as follows: Otto has Il
partner in the ranching business named
Blubaker, who several weeks ago came
to this city for week. He also has a
wife who is at work in this city. During
Blubaker's absence the woman, who
Otto says was his mother, disappeared
from view, and the neighbors became
suspicious but said nothing. When Blu
baker returned to the ranch he noticed
the absence of Otto's mother and asked
him what had become of here. Otto re-
piled, "She's sleeping Blubaker then
said that he was glad, and was rather
taken back when Otto said
'Shes sleeping the sleep that
knows no waking" He then told
his partner that his mother
had died OF consumption and that he had
buried her. Blubrake inquired no
further, but after Otto had come to the
city the neighbors in talking over the
matter came to the conclusion that there
must have been something wrong or else
there would have been funeral. Dep
uty Sheriff Russell arrested Otto on San
Pedro street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets, and asked him what had
become Of his mother. He said that she
had died OF consumption, that he had
kept her body thirty hours after death
and then taken her up caiion one night
and buried her where no one could find
her but himself He said he had made
box to put her in, but didn't know why
he didn't ask none of his neighbors in 10
the funeral. After considerable argu-
ment he promised to show Mr.. Russell
where the body is buried, and Coroner
Meredith will go with them this morn,
ing 10 the place. The neighbors are
said to be OF the opinion that the woman
was not MS mother.
