The losses to this office from this
source during the past year exceed
500. And everv one of these losses
is due to the. carelessness Of the post
Office employees; because never before
have the complaints been half as
numerous. Mistakes seem to be made
every timo the mail is handled; and
as 4 newspaper sent to New York, for
instance, is handled several times on
the way, the chances are actually
against an Idaho newspaper ever
reaching it's destination.
Mr. Dubois has already served the
State, and people we'll. He would

est good wishes of the newspaper men
of Idaho il he secured reform in this
respect, even though at the cost Of
firing all but the brightest clerks aud
poAtmasters.

OUR EXASPERATING POSTAL
SERVICE.

The railway postal sevice of Idaho
Is so inefficient and unsatisfactory,
that scarcely a day passes without a
complain, being received. Yesterday
one came from Atlanta. To-day, one
from Albion, whose mail service our
correspondent characterizes as the
"now.aad.t then ORDER"
These complaint, have become SO
frequent that we are now compelled
to keep an extra number OF copies
ri the TINES on hand to supply du.
plicate copies to our various Eastern
advertisers and subscribers, as we
not infrequently receive claims for
as many as 50 additional insertions
on a years contract because of a
patrons failure to receive the paper

This is source Of serious loss to

OBJECTIONABLE LAW REPEALED.
HALEY. IDAHO.

The Senate has repealed by q de.
cided majority the act of 1883 with
drawing from entry under the public
land laws large tracts in the arid
land district, until the Typographical
sud photographic survey could be
completed aud the reservoir and canal
sites for irrigation purposes selected.
The object of the law was to prevent
ahese sites from seizure by private
persons, thas defeating the object OF
the government, to make surveys for
irriga,ion for the general good. The
objection to the law was that it closed
large tracts to entry for al indefinite
period.
This will naturally bring the whole
subject of irrigation before the people
of the country, and may lead to some.
thing practical being done that will
be Of some benefit to the rising gen

 CHICAGO, July 12.-The steamer Tioga, of the Erie Transportation Company, was badly wrecked by an explosion while lying at her dock at Randolph street and the river. It is reported that thirteen people were killed.
 The explosion was 6 terrific one, and a column of smoke shot 200 feet into the air, succeeded . second later by . whirlwind of flame, which iluminsd bridges, buildings, water and sparS in Q fearful glare. .-z-
 The startled crowds rushed to the river bankS, docks, bridges, and soon the scene was thronged with an i'm mense crowd. A general fire alarm had been turned in, and soon fifty streams of water from the steamers and hre-tugs were pouring into the hold of the big iIon, boat through the gaping hole amidships, from which the flames poured fn e torrent.
 The TipgA, which was one of the largest and finest propellors on the lakes, is badly wrecked, her upper works being nearly blown away, and her wooden work badly burned. The fire was soon under control and the search for the victims of the explosion was begun. Three bodies were soon brought out, blackened and mangled. They were apparently the remains of unfortunate membeEs of the steamers crew, caught aboard at the time of the explosion. ~'r~' Bremen are now looking for other bodies and seeking to determine the cause of the explosion.
 The men killed were; John O'NeiL, boss stsvodore, and the following As- l sistants, Henry Alexander, Tom Lewis, John Celiins, Tom Collins, Osborn Polk and John Lewis, all colored, and Tom O'Donnsll and John Rafferty, all of this city.

 Vincent Kirby, one of the engineers who was on the boat at the time, said that when the explosion took place he was standing at the far end of the boat, end upon regaining his presence of mind he ran to the scene, and there found one of the men who had been engaged in unloading freight with his head between two beams. He had been instantly killed.
 As soon as the debris can be removed 1t is believed the list of killed will swell to over fifteen, Several of ths officers of the boat are missing, Cap tain Phelps was fortunate enough tc escape without scratch.

 HALIFAX, N. S, July 12.-The steamer Annex, No. 2, bought in Brooklyn, IN. Y., to run as ferry between here ana Dartmouth, across the harbor, arrived last night. She went in at Dartmouth and made fast to the wharf. When she did so the populace hocked to the vicinity, burst open the gates leading to the wharf and rushed down to inspect the new boat. .S
 There were hundreds on the dock, while about n hundred more stood on & bridge supported by two chains, used sometimes to take teams from ferry boats.
 In order to make the bridge perfectly safe and passable it was necessary that the end prOtruding from the wharf should rest on the vessels deck.
 Forced Overheard,
 The forward part of the Annex was a few feet from the bridge, and many persons, all men, of course, leaped aboard the boat, but as they did so the crowd in the rear pressed forward, with the result that at 9 o'clock the chains gave way under the weight it bore, and nearly 15O people, including women and children, were precipitated into the water. Others, who were pushing forward, were also forced overheard. A quantity of loose timber which was on the wharf was thrown to those | struggling in the water, while life pre- | servers from the steamer were also thrown overheard in great numbers. A raft was brought to the dock imme- diately, and by it the greatest number of those in the water were rescued.
 Boats, torches, and grapplipgs were supplied, and the work of searching for bodies commenced.
 Picking Up the BodiOS. l The men worked strenuously and were soon rewarded by finding one body, then another, until four were brought | to the surface.
 | It is not yet known how many were drowned, but it is feared that many bodies will be recovered when daylight comes to aid the searchers.
 The people from Dartmouth and many | from Halifax lowered about the dock all night while the work continued.
 The greatest excitement prevails, and it is almost impossible to tell as yet how l many WeIo uIO" ASo, us u i1AuhJ persons from Dartmouth come to this city in the evening, and every family, some of whose members have not been seen since the accident, are in hopes that they are in Halifax. At the spot where the accident occurred there was about twenty feet of water, and the fall from the wharf level was about ten feet. Many young men leaped into the water to save women and children, and but for their action the loss of life would have been much greater.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 12.-A cable dis patch brings news from Rome that the Propaganda has arrested the appoint ment of Bishop Bourke as the bishop of the combined diocese of Omaha and Cheyenne. The importance of the news arises from the fact that it is evidence that the Propaganda will not sanction Roman appointment as against the recommendation of a congress of Amer ican bishops. The bishops recommended Vicar General Philip Brady, of St. Louis, and will now recommend him . second time.

 FA1RHAvEN, vt., July 12.-Mrs. Jane Williams, who resides about two miles east of this place. murdered her two children, a girl IT years old and a boy of six, set fire to the house and cut her own throat.
 The terrible tragedy was enacted about three o'clock in the morning. One other child, boy of 15 years, who was sleeping upstairs, escaped with his life. He was awakened by the smell of smoke, and going down stairs found the house full of smoke, and his mother in the doorway screaming for help. There was a great wound in her throat and blood streaming down her dress front. He attempted to get her out, but she was determined to go back, and only by violent efforts was he able to get her safely outside. She was un- doubt edly insane.
 About two weeks ago her husband was killed in his slate quarry at Hyde vile by falling from considerable hei ght.

When he says he didn't write the letter to the Southern authorities he Is 2 proven liar, as saw the letter with my own eyes"
 Continuing, Sullivan said that his courage had been proven on many a hard fought field, and Muldoon's refiec- tions thereon could not hurt him. He had refused to meet that "little sneak" Kilrain, but if Muldoon could show $2. 800 in cash he might be tempted to fight. But Mnldoon hadn't 2,500 centa that are properly his own.
