MAIL DELIVERED QUICKER
By the Increase of the Force of
Carriers.
NEW TERRITORY EMBRACED.
Collection Hours Unchanged, But Dis
tricts Augmented Under the New
Eight-Hour Law.

There will be no change in the hours
OF delivery and collection of mail at the
st. Paul postoffice in consequence of the
passage of the eight hour law, except
that the first delivery at 1880 am. viii
be made from the union depot instead
OF from the postoffice. There are five
deliveries made every day, and mails
leave the poStOffice at z 80 am, 9: 80 a. m.
11:20 am, pm. and 3:15 pm, but the
last mail is delivered from the union
depot as the first will be. )
The public can appreciate the saving
of time caused by taking the mails out
direct from the union depot instead OF
waiting until the mail bags are un-
Loaded at the postoffice. The first col
lection of letters arrives at the Office at
6 a. m., and the others at the following
times during the day: $50 a. m., 1880
a. m., II m, 3 p. m, p. m, p. M,
4:30 p. m, 5 p. m., 5 80 p. M, 5:45 p. M,
g p: m, 6:15 p. M, 80 p. M, :45 p. M
and p. IN. 1t will be seen that the
most collecting is done between 4 D. m.
and p. m, as the majority of letters
are
MAILED BETWEEN THESE HOURS.
AS to the benefits of the eight-hour
law, Mr.. Hardacre says: ''The eight
hour system was not intended to bene-
fit the public, but to benefit the letter
carrier. To the public it will not make
any difference, except that the districts
will be made smaller
"Ihe addition of thirteen new carriers
to the force will extend the service of
the city little in every direction"
MIR. Lee said Mr.. Hardacre had been
al III
ing OF the city, and, being a pretty big
job, it might take some time to finish it.
The limit of the delivery service west
ward at present is Lexington avenue.
The new system will extend the
service to Warrendale and the
Northern Pacific railroad shops.
eastward it will be extended about two
blocks beyond English street, the pres
ent limit, and southwark the mails will
be carried out Concord street nearer
South st. Paul than at present. 1t has
not been decided yet what will be done
for the northern part of town.
The department has always eau
toned this postof1ice against making the
delivery service embrace the too sparsely
settled sections. The residents of Hazel
Park, Manchester, Brainerd'S Corners,
and other points ask for the delivery
0Gi Flce, pue, WHlle lleSe polllS are
within the limits of the city the terri
tory between them and the thickly set
tied parts of the city is too sparsely set
tied TO justify such deliveries for a
while.
Mr.. Hardacre says that, notwithstand-
ing the area covered by the service in
st. Paul was about thirty-seven square
miles, New York was allowed 221 ad-
ditional carriers, while st. Paul was
only given thirteen new carriers.

ALDERMAN GEHAN's CHARGE
That Mr.. Brayton offered a Bride
Denied by the Latter.

Aid. Gehan's statement in the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening that he had been
offered 81 600 for his vote in favor of the
Enos electric railway caused considera-
ble comment yesterday among taXpay-
erS, and considerable feeling was eX-
hibited by business men against such
tactics. During the day Aid. Gehan
was approached and disclosed the
name of the gentleman who made him
the offer. He said it was Bradford |.
Brayton, commission agent. of 126 West
Seventh street. Mr.. Brayton, how
ever, denied the statement, saying that
he never offered Aid. Gehan a cent for
his vote. The only words that he had
with the alderman were in this wise:
Il was in the saloon at the back of Ge-
hans grocery store. and he was there
with several others. l was arguing with
him in favor of the railroad, and an
swerng his arguments. He said there
were 5000 writs against the New York
railroad for damages. | said if they
would build the road past my property
| would release all damages and give
him a bonus. l might give $1,000, but
never offered
TO GIVE HIM A CENT"
Leavitt X. Merrill, attorney for the
Enos company, said: whatever truth
there is III the statement made by Aid.
Gehan respecting Mr.. Brayton, the lat
ter gentleman has no connection what
ever with the Enos Electric Railway
company. The company has not author
lied any person to offer sum of money
to any alderman in order to secure a
franchise, neither has the company in
terviewed any member of the council.
Any offers that might have been made
for the votes of aldermen have been on
the sole responsibility of the parties
making them, and without the slightest
knowledge of the company or in their
interest. The Enos company made their
bid to the council for franchise in good
faith, and, so far as they are concerned,
the matter is in the hands of the alder
men to take whatever steps they deem
desirable. Though the company would
be glad to secure a franchise. they
would not put up nickel to obtain it,
unless they did it i'll legitimate and
lawful manner"

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
But the Countryman Was Sprint
er. TQO.

A countryman named Carlin, who was
taking in the sights of a great city, was
approached yesterday by stranger
named Thomas Mcmahon, who asked
his new acquaintance to let him
have 81. He exhibited a check,
which he said was for $3.50,
and wanted the accommodation until
the banks were opened. Further, he
agreed to let Carlin hold the check as
security for payment of the amount
borrowed. This the unsuspecting
cOuntryman agreed to, but after secur-
ing the money Mcmahon suddenly re-
membered that it was not too
late to get the check cashed at
the bank and grabbed it out of
Carlin's hands and ran off. After
warm chase he was overhauled by the
sightSeer, who turned him over to a
policeman. and the two proceeded to the
central station. An examination of
the check showed that it was for $3.50,
and despite his protestationS and offers
to square matters, Mcmahon was locked

SWEDISH PROSECUTORS
Will Appear Against Their As
sailantS at Bass Lake.

1t promises to be pretty lively in the
municipal court this morning when the
case is called of parties alleged to have
been implicated in the recent troubles
ia Bass lake, the majority OF whom are
now incarcerated in the county Jail. Sew
eral of those said to be implicated in the
affair are out on bail, and others
mentioned in the warrant have not
been apprehended by the authorities and
are supposed to have left the city. Con-
stable Bowers, who has been working
up the case, said yesterday that a host
of witnesses would be present in court
to-day to testify against the parties thus
far arrested, and that they were posi-
tive the right men had been secured by
the officers.
Charlie Boggs'saloon at Bass lake has
been closed" said Deputy Sheriff Lu-
kenheimer, land after the assault case
against him is disposed of we will press
another charge-that of selling LIQUOR
without license. We have him sure
on this, and he has been steadily vio-
lating the law which compels every sa-
lOonkeeper to take out a license.
Boggs has made no attempt to conceal
his business, but it has been conducted
openly and in defiance of the statute,
and we will make him pay for it..
There have been no further disturbances
at Bass lake since we closed up this sa-
loon, and we do not anticipate any more
trouble there for some time to come.
Swedes will come over from Minneapo-
lis who will testify point blank that the
men we now have under lock and key
precipitated the fight, and they say
will not let up in the prosecution for
anybody. Nothing has been heard of
Gust Johnson, who is said to have dis
appeared the Sunday that the fight took
place; and the other Johnson, who was
injured, seems to be improving daily.

oRoGRAPHIC STRUCTURES.
From Whence the Yoroe that Have Els-

From Whence the Yoroe that Have Els-
waited Mountains.
Within the past twelve or fifteen
years IL has become widely accepted
view among the geologists of Europe
and America that the forces which
have elevated mountains are derived
from strains set up in the outer enve-
lopes Of the earth by the secula cooling
aud shrinksge Of it. interior; but i,
should be borne in mind that geolog-
lcal science has fiourished ma-t in
those countri.s where the best known
and most thoroughly studied noun
tains and ridges are greatly plicated
To the European geologist the Alp.
and the Jura have always been the
most commanding and interesting Of
orogrsphic structurs. To the Briton
the Highlands of Scotland and Wales
have been equally absorbing fields OF
research, in which the solution If the
problem of mountain building has
been attempted. In America geology
had its first and mOst rapid growth In
the Appalachian rsgIon, and. when it
sought fresh fields in the Pacific slope,
IL frs found them In the coast ranges
and in lhr Sierra Nevada. All of these
regions are mere or less plicated; and
IL is not TO tie wondered 1T that a | nj
versal conviction should have grown
up that plication and mountain build
ing are only diff rent namts for one
aud the same thing, or that the process
which built the mountains folded the
-trata at the sane time. But as soon
ns the geolOgi.ts Penetrated the vast
mountain belt which lIes eat of the
Sierra and west Of the Greet Plsins,
and proceeded to careful study Of
the forms there presented, wholly
different state OF affairs was revealed.
Not a trace of systematic plication
has yet been found there. The terms
"snticlinal" and "syuclina" have
almost dropped out of the vocabulary
Of the Western geologi-t. The strata
are often hexed, but the type of the
tlexure il the monocline.
The Rock Mountain region discloses
whatever il has to tell u- about physi-
cal geology with marvellous clearness
aud emphasis, but there Is no teaching
more clear or more emphatic than the
al s.nce of plicating force from among
the agencies which have built its
magnificent ranges and holsted its
great platpsu.. They have been lifted
by vertical forces acting beneath them.
The country at large shou no traces oi
a wide, pread, universal. horizontal
compression; on the contrary, II dis,
clrses the ab.enre Of such siress.-Ex.
