WASHINGTON, May 31.-First Assistant POST
master General Clarkson will leave Washington
tomorrow on the Chicago Limited for an extens
sive official tour of the Fur West. At De-
Moines he viii be joined by his family, and in
a private car which has been placed at
his service he will at once proceed to Seattle
Wash. From that point diverglng tours will
be made through Washington and Oregon.
leading cities and towns of California. The
prime object of this tour is to obtain
a thorough knowledge of the postal needs
for the Pacific slope. GARRISON is of
the opinion that the West is entitled to better
facilities and believes that Western man who
is acquainted with the peculiarities of Western
development is best able to judge of the postal
needs. He will make close inspec-
tion at all important centers, and on
his return in about a month or
six weeks will make such recommendations
the situation demands. Clarkson in spea king
of the matter to-day recalled the fact that one
year ago Chicago had less than third as many
deliveries as had New York, and at the Chicago
stockyards with its enormous inter
ests the mail service at that time was hardly
equal to that of an Eastern village
of 500 inhabitants. GARRISON cites these
cases to show that by lack OF familiar knowl-
edge of and sympathy with the phenomenal
growth of tine West, the postal authorities in
times past had rather retarded than assisted in
this development.
On Clarkson's return TO Washington he will
tender TO the president his resignation, to take
effect Immediately. His successor has not been
determined upon.

Grammsr and the stabblng Of Ed Carter.
Correspondents ofthe Gazette.
HASKELL, TEx., May 2s.-Another sad cslam-
ity has befallen our quiet and peaceable
community by the sudden and unexpected kill
ing Of Tom Gramner. notorious gambler and
horse-racer and said to be very dangerous
character, by one of our best citizens.
The facts about as near as can be gathered
are in substance as follows: On last Saturday,
the oath inst, some parties from the East, one
of whom was the deceased, ran horse race
here with some OF our citizens. A dispute came
MP between some of the racers winning and
those loosing about some property that was bet
on the race, and as result bad feelings were
sengendered. Yesterday, in the road to Ruin
saloon, now owned and controlled by Arm
stead Mason. heretofore very quiet, peaceabie
citizen of our town. Tom Grammer entered the
saloon. After having made several bragadocio
threats to kill George Mason, and having pre-
viously made demonstrations IS Il to carry
his threats into execution. be began abusing
the said Masons, using various epithets and
abusive language. when Mr.. Ed Carter. a by
stander, remarked, in q very quiet, unassuming,
friendly manner, in substance that he had
known George Mason several years, and had
always found him to be an honest man, quiet
and peaceabie cftixen;o whereupon the de-
ceased, with an oath, struck Carter in the face
with one hand and stabbed him 10 the hollow in
the left breast, Just over the heart, with knife.

not deadly one. Then turning to Armstead
Mason. he struck at him with his knife, where
upon Mason drew his pistol and fred three
the body, killing MIN almost Instantly.
Our citizens are very sorry of this great and
sad calamity. but it cannot be helped. Carter Is
doing tolerably well. but is in a very crit
ical condition. and it is feared will not recover.
BE is one of our most sober and best citizens,
blacksmith BY trade. Also, both OF the Masons
are quiet, sober men, and it is thought that
Armstead was justifable in his rash act, as he
was acting solely in self defense, This is the
third man killed in our quiet town, each OF
which was in this saloon. and each purely in
self defense and be ii said to the credit OF Has
kell that these are the only difficulties that have
ever happened in this vicinity.
Crops are fine; plenty Of rain. Real estate is
active and everything IS prosperous. The coun-
try and town are booming, and several nice resi-
dences and business houses are going up.

Following is a correct list of the

the first car, and when the accident occurred
were the first to be submerged. AS the car went
of the bridge it parted from the others, and on
striking the bottom OF the bay the coupling
connecting it with the tenger broke, allowing
that end to come to the surface. The entire oc
currence happened SO quickly that the first
thing the captain realized he was floating under
the car ventilator with one of the children,
Efiie, clinging to his neck and Mrs. Roberts and
her elder daughter struggling in the water.
Realizing his danger he called to others to fol-
low, and Immediately dove through the car,
which was submerged. On coming to the sur
face he found boat, to which he and the others
hung until the arrival of the boat which took
them to the wharf. Miss May Austin, daughter
of Henry Austin, was saved, but her sister

Austin is almost crazed with grief over the loss
of her relations. Immediately after the acci-
dent report spread that sam Dunn, engineer
of the train, and Charles o Brien. fireman. had
gone down with the wreck, but this was con-
tradicted by acQuaintances of both men, who
claimed to have seen them. John Williams of
Alameda says he had talked with both the engin-
Ger and fireman at Alameda, two miles
away, an hour after the accident.
They had told him that when the engine went
over they had jumped in the water and climbed
upon the piles to the wharf. The crowd that
had assembled, even in that short time, was
manifeslly hostile TO them, and 0'Brien said as
he was climbing up on the wharf a stranger had
tried tQthrow him back into the water. Fear

appear at his home in Alameda, where his wife
and family were anxiously awaiting him. Dunn
