Post once Report.

Postmaster Stewart has received the
report OF the Post-onlce Department
the year 1854 pounds of newspapers
printed In this city passed through the
office. This Is an increase over 1889 OF
3,43S pounds or an increase OF per
centum. Postmaster Stewart says that
the increase will be much greater for
1891.
The Post Office Department at Wash
ington has given Postmaster Stewart
permission to order new Corbin mail
rack with the capacity of forty mail
bags. This is one OF the things most
needed at the post-ofllce here. The
rack has been ordered and is expected
here in few days. This will do away
with the old tables now in use In the
distributing department

and Loan. Supreme Treasurer Fos.
ter and myself have Just returned
from West Virginia, where We placed q
loan OF Sl750. The member who got
this loan drew out Of Building and
Loan Association to go into Ionic Tenn
Pile because he made money by It.
II member owns a lot, will you
build him a house on it2
Certainly, that is just whatsswe are
doing in several places. He must own
his lot clear with good title, Then we
will put q Mouse on 1t to cost say
$1,000. His assessments, dues, and
interest on that will be only s9.75 q
month. That is a small rent; ibis house
will be paid for In six years and he
will be forever delivered from the
landlords grasp. -.....
Suppose he has no lot, what can he
dor
Lot him go into Ionic Temple for
$3.50. That will cost him only IS cents
q week and a5 cents month. II he
wants higher priced lot let him go
in for $500. That will cost him only
so cents week and 80 cents q
month. In either case he can got in
enough members to his credit to se-
cure his money In a year or two.
Then he can buy his lot and build his
house at oncb. "-
Surly no one Is so poor but he can
secure horne by the help of Ionic
Temple.
That Is my opinion. We shall build
thousands Of homes in this part OF the
country, and thousands more In tho
new towns of the South and West. II
only takes about one half the money
and one half the time it does on the
installment plan or the old fashioned
Building and Loan plan. It Is simply
the benefits of cooperation applied to
securing homes for the people.
Well, / am pleased with your Order
1t is certainly doing great work and
deserves to prosper.
We look tor great increase of mem
bcrs during the coming year. We have
made beginning In Wilmington, but
there are at least 800 men and women
here who need Its help, and whc
should COMB In at once. II they will
apply to Nh. ]. b. Roberts, 500 Marke

ward until 1t pierced the right lung.
The ball is supposed to be lodged at
the base OF tho lung. The physicians
did not probe for the ball but deter.:
mined TO put 1t off until ...oElhenny's
condition Yas mcie fully learned. He
continued to grow weaker until about
$50 O'Clock last night, when the physi-
CLANS agreed that there was o slight
Improvement.
This morning at O'Clock he was re-
ported as having so much improved
that 1t was thought he might recover.
This Is what an eyewitness says
about the trouble in the afternoon,
ending In the shooting of James Nc.
Elhenny, as told to Morning News
reportef which makes 1t appear more
favorable for,the Dunseiths: "Carpen-
ter. Joseph Hicks, was mailing the one
board he had put In position on the
frame work next to the house when
Mrs. Dunselth came out OF the store
and attempted to stop his work. She
crowded into the narrow space about
the coal oil barrels and the steps OF
McElhenny's house, pushed one OF the
barrels against Hicks head as he was
STOPPING over his work. An alterca-
ton ensued, In which Mrs. Dunseith
threatened to strike Hicks, or any one
else who interfered, with q bung NAL
let which she had brought from the
store under her apron.
James and William MeElhenny had
come out OF McElhenny's house and
Dunseith out of his store. He took
hold OF his wife to prevent her from
striking the men as she threatened to
do. In the alteration James McEl-
benny struck Mrs. Dunseith with his
N talf lot
up briok, threw 1t and struck VIM.
Elhennys made rush for Dunseith,
chasing him into his store. What oc-
CURED there they did not sec, but in
less than u minute the McElhennys
came running out, William running
into the street and james going TO his
own door. ~
"Dunseith followed the two men
from the store to his own steps and
| opened fire on them with pistol.
He fired three shots. one of which
struck James McElhenny as he reached
his steps. and he fell forward into
the doorway. The wounded man was
taken into his house and Dunselth's
retired to their store, where they were
afterwards arrested.
The Rev. Father Birmingham vlsi-
ted the wounded man last evening
and administered to him the last sac
raments of the church. James Nc
| Elhenny Is 80 years OF age and Ia en-
ployed as an engineer at the Whining
ton Coal Gas Works. He Is said to be
a very peaceable man and well liked
| by all who know him. Mrs. Dunseith
was taken very i'll at tho police station
last evening and DIR. j. z. Wales was
| called in to attend to her.
