POSTOFFICE BUILDING,
Two Additions Proposed for the
Present Structure.

Word has been received In this city
through the Associated Press dispatches
that Secretary Window has asked Congress
for $4,000 appropriation for new one
story addition to the Postoffice in this city.
This move on the Secretary's part was a
surprise to the public, though to the officials
at the Postoffice it has been known az
probable for some months.
Indeed. the appropriation was not placed
at that low figure until plans had been
draughted and estimates made by the local
postal authorities. The original dispatch is
misleading in part, since it is not for a new
one-story building. but for one-story addi-
ton to the already shapeless mass that is
dignifed with the name of building
The plans, as prepared in case the appro-
prlation is granted, embrace two additions
to the present b,iilding-one to the rear.

On Jackson street the building will have a
width Of 109 feet. Its general shape will
be cumbersome l., with the base on Jack
son street, and vertical on the side facing
the Appraisers Building. The total depth
will be 20S feet inches. The addition on
the Washington. street side will be 60x69 feet
through which corridor % feet wide will
extend. The right side will be devoted to
the Money Order Department, the left to the
POstmaster's, Secretary's, Assistant Post
masters and reception rooms.
The building from that point will remain
as it is TO point % feet from the present
end of the corridor, with the exception that
the corridor will be carried through to that
point. 1t will retain its present width of ID

and vaults, and on the left the seareher's de-
partment, general delivery, Superintendent
of the city delivery, dead letter office,

ment and boxes.
The Jackson-street wing, with the en- large

BIT OFF HIS EAR.
John Langford Deprives a Man OF Pa
of Thai Organ.

John Langford Depriv@s a Man OF Part
of That Organ.
Daniel Reddy, a miner, etc., met John
Langford at John Smiths sailor boarding
house on Battery street Wednesday night.
In the morning he drank freely with Lang
ford, who tried to persuade him to ship be-
fore the mast on an ocean-going vessel
With this end in view the miner was invited
to drink as much as he desired, which he
readily did. Yet he did not forget for once
that 1t was more agreeable ashore than
aboard ship, so when Langford persisted
trouble arose.
Reddy grew angry and both ciinched in
combat when Lansford bit off part of the
others ear and spit it back in his face.
The ear was subsequently patched up at
the Receiving Hospital by Police Surgeon
X. h. Williams. Several years ago a slice
was bitten of the other ear when Reddy
was steanboating on the Missouri.
LangfoId is the man who was arrested
and tried for the killing of Jack Hayes in
the Bank Exchange Saloon, corner of Mont
gomery and Washington streets, about two
years ago. He was acquitted

IL iSt far Mn

Technically Urged the Trial OF
Lundquist for Murder.
Joseph Smith, an important witness for
the prosecution in the trial Of C. A. Lund-
quist, is absent in Mexico, and point is
now being argued between the attorneys in
the case over the reading of his testimony
at the second trial.
John Flournoy, Lundqust's counsel, is
opposing the proposition with all his might,
on purely technical grounds, the principal
one OF which is that the stenographer's short
hand notes were not filed with the tran
script, as the law expressly provides.
So much time was consumed arguing
this point that little Roadway was made
with the trial, and continuance was ordered
until to-day

A Dishonest Newsboy.

At the narrow-gauge ferry landing last
evening, when passengers were waiting in
the room for the departure of the $50 boat,
toy who has been selling papers there at
night for the last two weeks approached q
gentleman and asked him to buy a paper.
The gentleman said he had read the evening
papers, but would buy one to help the boy
along. He took paper and gave the boy a
dollar. The boy said hc had no change, but
would get 1t from Wilcox. the ticket agent
. at tho window. Wilcox gave him the change,
and the boy seeing that the gentleman was
not looking. ran up the landing as hard as he
could. He made 95 cents by the transaction,
but he will never be allowed to sell paper
at the narrow-gauge landi ng again.

Two City-Front Bontmen Get a Ducking
in the Bay.
Yesterday afternoon Joe Zammitt and
George Holmes. two waterfront boatmen,
left their stand at the foot of Harrison
street to sail in their whitehall to Third
street. When they got as far as the middle
grounds, about GOO yards from the wharf,
they found a nasty sea running and a
scow schooner bearing down on them.
They halloed to those on the scho oner and
did all they could to avoid collision.
As the schooner, which was the Miomi,
got near the boat Holmes jumped over
board. Tie scow's bowsprit struck the
whitekalPs mast and turned the boat bottom
up. Zammitt was thrown out and went
under the scow's bottom, coming to the sur
face astern of her. Both men can swim
well, and swan around until they were
picked up by those on the schooner. Frank
Graft pulled out and brought them ashore.
The water was Icy cold and the men re-
ceived quite shock from their sudden i'm
mersion. Their boat, which was only
slightly damaged, was picked up by the
tug Governor Irwin,

A STORM Il Expected From the North.
Snow In the sierras.
The United States Signal Service Bureau
was unable to make satisfactory report
yesterday. because the telegraph wires from
extreme northwestern points and some in
California were down. Lieutenant Finley
expected storm from the northwest, but

culaiions, not positive indications. A well
defined storm center is Indicated west of tho
Washington coast and is supposed to be
day or two.
The snow in the Sierras is four feet deep.
while at Tehachapi greater depth is re-
ported. Not even in the mountains has the
weather touched zero. but in Nevada tile
temperature Is about zero, and snow has
fallen TO depth of from two to four feet.
