In AND ABOUT THE CITY
THE PosroFFICE SITUATION

What Capt. Lamar Says About the
Conduct Of the Of1oe.
The intelligence published In yesterday
MORNING News that the postoffice inspect
ors had made a night descent upon tbs
postoffice, aud after Investigation had
found cause for several complaints In the
administration of the Office. was very
generally commented on yester-
day. Il IL said that the
inspectors will pay third visit, to continue
their Investigations, their visit this week
being the second made. While the In
spectors disclaim that any political signif.
canoe attaches to their visit. il 10 believed
by many that it means that a complaint Is
TO be lodged against Postmaster Lamar as
an excuse TO have him removed.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Post
master Lamar at the pOstoffice yesterday
and had a talk with him as to the unpleas-
ant rumors concerning the statements al
legged to have been made by the inspectors,
who have been investigating the Savannah
office during the week.
Capt. Lamar says it is true that the
inspectors have made thorough invostiga-
ton of the Office, aud have discovered, as
they think, some irregularities in the man
agement of the office As an official of the
government, Capt. Lamar says he
Is bound to secrecy, and cannot
give any information as to the complaints
OF the inspectors, and he says he is ignorant,
anyway, Of what report they will make.
He added. however, that the rumors in
circulation as TO the numerous abuses
alleged to have been discovered by the
inspectors have been greatly exaggerated.
He says he has no hesitation in saying that
there is some ground for fault-hnding on
the part OF the inspectors.
The mailing department, of which the
chief complaints are made, is much too
small for the force, and crowding and
confusion is the result. When the Inspect
ors took charge Of the offics Tuesday
night, as under the law they had
perfect right to do, things
probably appeared in disordered con-
dit1on in the mailing department. After
the late mails are received and distributed
the Office is not cleaned up until the follow
ing morning, Capt Lamar says, and the
inspectors doubtless found the floor Uttered
with torn wrappers, trash, etc.
Referring to the system Of the office,
Capt. Lamar says it is fully up to the
standard, as is shown iby the dispatch aud
distribution Of the mails. He does not be-
lieve that the visit of the inspectors had
any political significance He is accustomed
to have the inspectors call at the
office frequently, and there have been
ntteen here in the last six months, though
Messrs Peer and Bulla have doubtless been
sent here with special Instructions to in
spect the Savannah Office. The inspectors,
Capt. Lamar says, are a most useful branch
Of the postotfice department, and serve to
correct many abuses.
From the postmaster's expressions upon
the subject it would seem that the reports
are unfounded that the inspectors had
said that the Savannah postoffice was the
hlthiest, 1orst conducted and most dis
orderly office they had ever inspected.

AFTER KENO. WHAT
Other Gambling Resorts Said to Be
Flourishin1.

''Now that Acting Solicitor General Os-
borne has shut up the keno rooms" said q
gentleman yesterday 10 MOANING News
reporter, ''he shouldn't rest on his oars. II
he imagines that he has suppressed gamb-
ling, he was never more mistaken in his
life, aud II he waits for the police to put
him onto the many games and varieties OF
games that flourish ia the city he is likely
to remain in ignorance for some time.
1.-THE stud poker rooms haven't had their
gas bills reduced since the boys on Bruughton

In the city, and those who run them dress

deluded workingmsn who resort 70 them
and part with the money which should 90
70 feed the mouths OF their little ones, or to
make their homes homelike and happy.
Here young men are attracted and their
morals contaminated, until, after awhile, 10
crafty their passion for the gaming table,
the inevitable peculation Of their employers
money follows
There is another aud more general system
OF gambling common TO the lower class of
saloons, and in many OF what the proprte-
tors would like to have the public consider
the better class. It is poker dice where,
often, the infatuated players will stand all
night at the counter risking their earnings
on single throw of the dice. This is
gambling, pure and simple, aud what. with
the liquor drank and the disappointmenss
which follow losses, the barroom difficulty
is not hard TO start often with an arrest,
and the interposition of friend the next
day to request the reporters to keep names
out Of the paper.
Certainly some strenuous effort should
be made to break up ali kinds of gambling,
and not call a halt at keno, for gambling is
not only depriving homes of the presence
and support Of grown men, but it is drag

once formed, are hard 10 shake off, and
which can only bring ruin and disgrace

Detectives Still Working on the Con-

John B. Robbins has 80 far been unable to
secure the 5000 bond required by Judge
Falligant and remains prisoner in the
county jail. The theory of the gasoline ex-
plosion is widely accepted, aud the effort to
show that gas had anything TO do with the
explosion ia the Billiard boarding house, in
the light of the facts held in reserve by the
state, must certainly fail.
1t Is known there was no commercial gas
in the building, but that the gas meter had
been taken out. The gaseous smell i'm
mediately after the explosion, it is held,
was gas generated by the gasoline, and the
gas ignited by fremanhs lantern, it is
claimed, was forced by the explosion into
the broken gaspipe in the ruins.
This Is the theory Of we'll in

satisneu that the building was thrown
