One Solution of the Post Office Problem

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The STAR, as usual, hits the nail on the head
in advocating a separate building for the city
post office. Such a course would, however be-
fore long require the erection Of two buildings
one for the city and one for the general Post
Office department, for, as is well known, owing
to the 'hand to mouth" economy in providing
public buildings, both the Post Office and the
Interior department buildings have long since
failed to afford the necessary room for the bus
mess, which, with the growth of tie country, is
bound to increase. The most economical as
well as the most sensible way out of the diff
Guilty would seem to be to erect buildings of
sufficient size to accommodate these depart
ments for years to come and turn the present
general post office building over to the
city post Office for which it is admirably
suited, having wide and convenient entrances
for vehicles, and, if need be, a part of the
court yard could be covered with glass
Whatever space may not be needed could
shelter the custom house, the local pension
agent, &C., the whole forming a convenient
and accessible plan for the transaction
of local business with the general government
such as is the case in all other cities. Keeping
the custom house in Georgetown, now that
pretty much all the importers do business in
Washington and most OF the imports are by
railroads to this city, is simply ABSURD; it might
as well be in Bladensburg because years ago
there was shipping there. In view of the ex-
tensive and expensive halls which the So
called Interior department building contains it
might be more economical to turn it over ex-
cluslvely to the patent Office and concentrate
all the rest and bigger portion of the business
OF the Interior department in a new building
of adequate size, though in the end it would be
cheapest by modifying the plan to use the
present department building for one of the
smaller departments. 1t would make an ad-
mirable Department of Justice or District
building, in which case the entire Interior de-
partment, excepting the pension Office, could
be concentrated in the new building. The pen
sion office force will in time be largely re-
duced and will thus be easily accommodated
in the same place.
Hitherto all the projects for increased room
for these departments contemplated additions
either in the form of additional stories or
wings. Every architect knows that these build
ings are architecturally complete and that any
such addition would simply ruin them.

The Police Sale of Abandoned Property.

The annual sale of abandoned and unclaimed
property in the hands of the police will take
place Friday morning. The sale will differ
from all previous sales as there will be but two
revolvers offered under the hammer. There
will be number of razors Sold however.
The pistols will be withdrawn from the sale,
probably, because request will soon be made
for the enactment of law by Congress to confis-
cate and destroy the weapons taken from pris-
oners. The catalogue for the sale has been
printed and distributed. 1t embraces male
and female clothing, tools, cigars, ornaments,
perfumes, umbrellas, &c.

Mr. Judge. land the question is,
where are we going 10 find it? There
are hundreds of packers who, to
meet obligations, are compelled to cut
prices. Now q great many of these
have sold so close that they find themselves
nearly bankrupt and some of them will
go out of business ere long. We want an
association that will govern prices. A sys-
tenn of warehouses where the surplus pro-
duct could be stored and kept out of the
market would solve the problem and we
could get our prices Then If any section
of the country not in the association
attempted TO cut prices we could threaten
them with bigger cut and they
would not dare to go below US. Ii must
be done; the inevitable tendency is ruina-

formed. 1t would not cost much, as the

TRIAL OF THE INDIANA WHiTECAPS.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. l5.-So far as
evidence goes, the White Cap trial was
brought TO a close at late hour this even
ing. The interest has been increased today
by the remarkable showing of the defense
in making their alibis. While the fact of
the White Gaping of William Norman
is admitted on all sides, it is as freely con-
ceded that much doubt exists as
to whether the real White Caps
have been detected after all. 1t
has been known all the time that the
accused number some of the best citizens
in the southern part of the county, and
since Tuesday, at noon. up to 2o'clock to-
day, they have introduced evidence TO show
that they were innocent of the charge.
The first witness this morning was John
Carson, of the defendants. He is lead
ing Republican of Polk township, and
well known throughout the county. Three
of Norman's family recognized him as as
sisting in the whipping. Though cross
examined with unusual care his story was
not broken or even shaken. Mr.. Carson
said
Il was not at Mr.. Norman's house the
night of the whipping, nor out of my home
after 10 o'clock. Up to dark | worked in
the field, came home and found DR..
Morris Judah there, who, upon my invita-
ton, stayed all night The doctor slept in
blle Sdllle IooLl Win IuS, duu We uli
not go to bed until between IL and II
o'clock"
In confederation of this, DR., Judah's
testimony agreed in every particular. 1t
was also proven by the blacksmith that
Carson's mule, that he alleges to have
ridden the night of the whipping, was not
shod as the evidence showed the one to
have been that was tracked by the plain
Iiffs witnesses.
Hezekiah Norman, one of the accused, is
also the father of three of the defendants,
and is one of the wealthiest and most re
spected men of the county, and is a half
brother of the victim of the White Caps.
They had become enemies over lawsuit
and did not speak. He testified that he
went to bed at his home about O'Clock
and was not out of the house later that
night. In this he was corroborated by his
wife, who said she shared the same bed
with him, and he could not possibly have
left the room without her knowledge.
) Eli Sanders, the last of the defendants to
testify, closed the case He was at home
the night of Nav l. retired at 8 O'clock and
did not get up until the next morning.
The defense having closed. the plaintiff
came in with its rebuttal, which was
chiefly character evidence, and whatever
question might have be raised as TO VIM.
Norman's good name he was ready to dis
prove it by about forty neighbors and
friends all anxious to testify in his behalf
The Judge listened to half dozen, and
satisfied that the matter of reputation was
evidently settled ordered that the case be
closed, and court adjourned until tomor-
row. -Four arguments viii be made to-
morrow, when the judges charge will fol-
low, so ii is evident the case will not reach
the Jury before evening.

DECISION IN A REMARKABLE CASE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. ia remark
able lawsuit, growing out of an election
held in this city two years ago, was decid-
ed in the circuit court today. The plain
tiff was Mrs. Mollie Owens, widow, and
the defendant was Capt. Thomas g. Ry-
man, the well known steamboat owner.
On the night of November l, 1856,
one day previous to the local cleo
ton in which question Of tenn
perarce was involved. VIM.
owen was shot and killed in saloon.
Captain Ryman, a prominent temperance
man. was summoned On the jury of inquest
and heard the testimony. On the follow
ing day he concluded TO make a remarka-
BILE effort in behalf of the cause in the
success of which he was so deeply interest
ed. He visited Mrs. Owen, widow of the
man who had been slain the night before
and induced her and her mother, Mrs.
Hooper, TO enter an open carriage
and ride TO various voting places, where
the fact was made known that they were
the widow and motheT-in-law of the MAI
who had been killed in the saloon. Captain
Ryman, in speeches made during the day,
said he wished to raise fund OF 10 for
Mrs Owen. and that If his efforts were tin-
successful he would give her that amount
out OF his own pocket He gave Mrs Owen
$40, aud rs she did not receive any more
she entered suit for the balance.
Capt. Ryman stated On the witness
stand that he offered Mrs Owen aud Mrs.
