LETTER CARRIERS SURPRISED.
The Postmaster General Meets Them and
Talks Plainly.

The letter carriers Of this city were given
quite a surprise last evening. The recent signs
Of trouble in their midst, resulting in the dis
missL and suspension Of several Of the num-
Der, was the cause primarily Of a meeting held
ut the city post Office in response to q call from
Postmaster Sherwood. Postmaster General
Wanamaker put in an appearance unexpectedly
and spent the evening discussing the situation
and the work Of the office.
Maj Pollock, superintendent Of the free de-
livery division Of the Post Office Department,
was introduced by Capt Sherwood and made
an address to the men The Postmaster
General said that while he sympathized with
the men the effort was being made to give the
most efficient service and he thought this
might be facilitated by conference such as
this.
He disliked the system Of putting spies on
the men at their work and greatly preferred to
place them on their honor. The men were
given the chance to ask questions, and several
hours were spent in talking about methods for
the Improvement Of the service.
Il was finally decided TO supply certain set
questions to the men, who should give answer
in writing. 1t was hoped that in this way pos
sible difficulties might be overcome.

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA.

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA.
Although the seat Of government was made
by the founders of the government ten miles
square the want Of facilities of communication
between the several parts prevented for wears
any sort Of unity between the new city on the
north bank Of the river and the older town on
its south bank, and this condition was perpet-
uated by the fact that separate governments
were established for the various sections which
the Constitution put under the exclusive juris-
diction Of Congress. Alexandria had its Vir-
ginis laws and its separate municipal admins
quicker methods Of communication be-
tween Alexandria and Washington than
those which Lot had when he jourreyed
TO meet Abraham. The segregation of
interest, complete an the beginning, continued
even after steam had given quicker methods of
transit and led TO the return Of Alexandra to
Virginia During all those years there had
been . constant movement Of people from
Alexandra to Washington and Alexandria sent
many hundreds OF Its most active citizens to be
among the first inhabitants Of Washington.
Even the business signs were in some cases
transferred from doors in Alexandria to WASH
ington- This tide ran toward the capital for
seventy years. 1t was not until after the war
that Alexandria began to catch q portion Of the
overflow which was making Mt. Pleasant Ana
costa, &c, and is even now building up Jack
son City. Now there is o continuous flow from
Washington to Alexandria and all the increase

PROPOSED CHANGES N CITY GOVERNMENT
Ths boom movement seems to contemplate
among the changes which it seeks to bring
about . change in the methods Of administer
ing the affairs Of the corporation. Contracts
or strcet cleaning instead of the use of the
chain gang, q new police judge, &C., new offices
10 supersede and combine old ones and a
progress on new lines instead of on old one is
in contemplation; but as yet none of the plans
for municipal reorganization have been
adopted
The city having done all that was required
Of il toward the construction of the new road
on Wilkes street to the National cemetery, the
work has been halted because the lane outside
Of the city is only twenty-four feet wide and
the act Of Congress requires thirty feet. which
cannot be gotten without the removal Of
graves in the adjacent cemeteries.

night at the parsonage of the NJ. E. Church

There are solemn services in commemoration

PLOTTING FOR MILLIONS.
A New York Adventures Who Personated o
Wealthy Merchant,s Widow.


The New York Herald publishes today in de-
tail the story already published in brief Of the
attempt Of notorious woman to secure the
estate Of the late millionaire leather merchant,
Loring A Robertson, by posing as his widow.
Her plot was frustrated, the Herald declares, BY
one Of its reporters, who recognized the alleged
widow as a frequenter of houses Of ill-fame
and investigated her history. The result was
that she was forced to abandon her plan of
eontssting Robertson's will. She called herself
Helen Brewer, but her real name is Cassie
Brooks. or Connors. the latter being the name
OF her present protector" variety actor.
The Herald states, however, that there
really was . Helen Brewer, who was once q
close friend of Robertson's- She il now
living in northern New York under an as
sumed name among strangers. She is broken in
health and spirit and has no ambition 10 ini-
tate the bogus widow. But the fact of the ex-
istence Of q real Helen Brewer suggests the
inquiry, who put Cassie Brooks up to the
idea OF attempting to secure Robertson's
millions by posing herself as Brewer, who posi-
bly, might clair. q marriage under New York
lawsf Tn, Herald thinks it is on the track Of
this arch conspirator, for whom Cassie was
only tool. and that it will shortly be able TO
expose his identity.

A large yellow and white cat started to
cross Broadway nearly opposite Park row
yesterday afternoon when traffic was at its
greatest Where she came from was known
only to herself, but that she was making for
the friendly shelter afforded by the rails of
st. Paul's churchyard was apparent to all
Her chances of getting across the street safe
ly did not seem to be good, as she shrank
back terrified from a passenger car lodged
under the wheels of an express wagon and
escaped being run over by one of Uncle Sans
mail vans by less than half the length of her
tail
Two well dressed men from Philadelphia
stopped in the middle of the thoroughfare to
watch her.
''Bet you she is crushed, said one
Take you," replied the other.
Just then the pole of a double truck struck
the fifth rib of the man who had offered the
bet, knocked his hat off and nearly threw
him down.
