NEW RUEE AS To SUBDIVISIONS
Several days ago party made application 10
the Commissioners for the approval Of a pro-
posed subdivision. The party asking for the
missioners did not state that he ~as the
owner OF the property. and. in fact, the blank
which II Is necessary 20 fill out for the purpose
OF filing an application does not contain any
provision TO show that the property 10 be sub
divided actually belongs 70 the individual cor
poration asking for IT, Capt Ross-ll reco M
mended few days ago that the blank be filed
out IN the future as amended so that an
acknowledgment should be taken before q
notary public that the property 10 be subdivided
actually belonged TO the party asking for the
subdivision. The Commissioners today issued
an order IN accordance with his recommenda-
non. The reason for making this recommen-
dation 10 due TO the fact that day or two since
subdivision was brought in for approval and
owing TO certain defects in the subdivision the
question arose TO what changes could be
made TO make il conform TO the rules OF the
Commissioners. In the course Of the converse
hon II came out that the party asking
Tor the subdivision did not own the
land but he had owned il and 10
had been sold under a deed of trust previous
TO the subdivision being approved. Had IL not
neen found out that this was so and had 10 been
that the subdivision was in accordance with
sue re guiatlons OF the Commissioners the sub
DIVISION might have gone on record. IL is 70
remedy this that the change has been made.

THE EARLY DELIVERY.
What Post Office Officials Say Of the
Letter Carriers Lot.

The early delivery system that goes into
effect on the 18th Of this month has aroused
considerable discussion, both favorable and
otherwise. 1t is said at the post Office that this
change will not be 80 much of an extra
demand upon the carriers as has been
supposed They are all under the eight-hour
law and if a carrier starts in his rounds half
hour or an hour earlier he will have that much
time of later in the day. The distributing
clerks always have to be at the ofic
quite while earlier that the carriers in order
to get the mail ready for them, but the force OF
distributors will be increased so that they will
have TO report for duty little if any earlief
than they do now.
As matters now stand there are large parts
OF the city where the first delivery is not COM
pieted until nearly IL o'clock. These are the
parts to which carriers will be started first un-
der the new system.
Those carriers who have rounds farthest from
the Office will leave there first. SO that there is
no fear of people being walked at any unseason-
able hour to get their letters. Carriers will
not have to be at the office much
earlier than they do now, and in summer time
especially it is thought it will be much easier
for them to have done their work before the
heat Of the day. The post Office officials say
there Is no need for worry over the future lot
OF the carriers, as all arrangements possible
will be made to prevent them from having any
harder work or more trying hours than they
have at present.

GAGS AND STRAIGHT JACKETS.
Testimony Before the McCalla Court of
Inquiry.

NEW YORK, March 12-The court Of inquiry
into the charges against Commander McCalla
OF the United States vessel Enterprise opened
here today at the navy yard, Admiral Kim
berly presiding. The first witness was
Executive Officer Ingersoll of the En-
terprise. He said the men on the
ship were confined in straight jackets
for trifing offenses. The charges made against
the captain in this respect were true. The wit
ness described how two men were tied up to a
ladder and were left in that position for four
hours. The commander had directed him to
keep the men continually at work about the
ship. In all these cases the punishment was
for drunkenness.
Regarding the assault on Fireman Walker
the witness said Walker was very drunk and
was abusing the commander roundly. Capt
McCalla ordered the man to stop and he told
the men to get ready the water. Walker was
still defiant and the captain ordered the
water to be thrown on him. Walker was
then gagged with bayonet by the
commanders order. Even this did not silence
Walker. and the captain drew his sword and
struck Walker on the head. Walker then fell
on the deck, face downward. Walker was
picked up and placed in his hammock after
dry clothing had been given him. He was
covered with blankets and the gag was still in
his mouth.

Looking For Clues.

PEORIA, ILL. March 12.-The murder of Jung
haus still remains shrouded in mystery, but
certain matters relating to his violent taking
off are being cleared up. A reporter found on
the river bank yesterday the dead mans valse.
No letters were in it, but papers containing ac-
counts of big sales of houses in Leipsic, in
which the dead man and his son figured, were
folded In the valise. Several handkerchiefs
and other linen were found marked with the
initials mp" and this has led to the belief
that the old man was travelling under an as
sumed name. This also sheds some light
on the failure to find where Junghaus
had drawn any money from the banks
it is supposed it was sent in another
name. Many people are inclined to believe
that the old man lost his money during spree
and then committed suicide in q tit of despond-
ency. They cannot, however account for the
murderous gashes in his head, which could not
have been self-inficted.

There'n be Peaches This Year.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, March 12-Over one
hundred leading peach cultivators, members
of the fruit growers association, assembled at
South Haven, Mich, yesterday. They sub
mitted specimen branches from their orchards
showing the fruit buds to be badly damaged as
the result of the recent plunge of the mercury
to ten or more degrees below zero.
Contrary to precedents the older trees show
the best buds. This is believed to be due to
the fact that the young orchards and especially
the elevated ones have been more unduly de-
veloped by reason of the open winter. 1t was
asserted. however, that many of the smaller
or so-called dormant buds would now be pushed
forward and together with the larger ones re-
naming uninjured would produce one-third to
one-half an average crop.
