IMPORTANT MAIL CHANGE.

Morning aud Evening Mail over the
Delaware Railroad Transferred to Later
and Earlier Trains.
In accordance with orders from the
Postmaster General an important change
will take place In the mail service over
the Delaware railroad, beginning at noon
to-day The morning northbound mail
which has always come up from Del
mar, on train No %, arriving in this
city at 8 40 o'cloek, is. by this order
transferred to train No. so, arriving at
Wilmington at 942 o'clock. This will
affect every post Office in Delaware and
this mail, In each of them, will close one
hour later.
The evening mail from Wilmington to
DelmAr and all intermediate points is
transferred from train No 81, which
leaves Wilmington at o'clock, to No.
30, which leaves at As o'clock The
mails all over the state will therefore be
open and ready for distribution two
hours earlier
The change is regarded as a very salts
factory one and 1t has been wanted for q
long time BY the morning malls leaving
an hour earlier an opportunity ia afforded
everybody in the lower part of the state
to get letters or other matter intended
for the Eastern elites to their destination
on the same day on which they are sent.
Then, BY the arrival of the evening
mail before the post ofics closes, the
facilities are such thst an answer can
be received on the following day. The
duties of the postmRsters will also be
made much easier by the change, enab-
ling them to close their offices early in
the evening, and allowing them to rest
longer in the morning than they have
been privileged to do in the past.

Pertinent Facts Presented BY Its Pub
Usher Cause OF Errors
The following communication has been
received:
EDITOR EVENING JOURNALISTS.
The article in this mornings Morning
News criticising the City Directory Just
issued, is, in some points, incorrect, and
10 Others very unfair to the publishers
of the City Directory. If the writer Of
the article will learn how to spell the
name of the editor of the EVENING
JOURNAL, he will find it in the directory
The correct spelling is Stuart. and it
is so given in the directory. While in
most cases the compiler Of the directory
corrects information wrongly given, be
cannot remember the names of all the
citizens Of this city Every house aud
store is canvassed, and If the manager,
bookkespsr, clerk or lady of the house
does not take enough interest in the cor
rections of the directory to give the
inform tion correctly, it is impossible for
the publisher to compel them to do So
If the reporters of the Morning News
had read their own paper they would
have seen a notice from the publisher Of
the directory asking that those who
wished TO be sure that their names were
inserted correctly should spend a cent
and send name, business and address on
a postal card. The publisher of the
directory has been in the business seven
teen years. aud in all his experience here
and in other cities. he has never, 30 his
knowledge, seen a perfect directory.
The phenomenally short time that in
tervened between the beginning Of the
canvass and the publication Of the book
has not caused any insdvertent errors, as
the canvass occupied the usual time, the
quick time being made in the printing
which the Morning News acknowledges
to be well done The information for the
state and city government was obtained
by our canvassers from officials upon
whom we relied for accuracy Of state
ment In order TO show the business men
Of the city that we try to gel the names
correct, we will issue supplement on or
about June 10, in which We viii. give the
names omitted or given incorrectly, to
which our attention shall be called BY

FINE FLAKES FALL.

Two Snow Storms, Hail Rain and sun
shine ON "Unlucky" May 9.
This has been a memorable May dsy
and one that has been more generally
talked about than any day this
year. The strong cold wave. which
reached this section on Sunday night had
increased in volume, and when the sun
arose this morning the thermometer
registered 80 degrees.
At $50 o'clock genuine snow storm
reached here, and for twenty minutes
the fine flakes fell in rapid succession
1t was cold winter storm, although the
flakes melted as quickly as they touched
the ground. The weather did not become
the least warmer as the day wore on. and
furs and oyercoats were hastily taken
from the boxes in which they had been
carefully packed for the summer.
The sun would shine out brightly for
q few minutes, and then it would quickly
disappear behind the clouds Very light
rains would then follow, and at 20
o'clock another snow storm care In
this the fakes we're larger, and they
fell more rapidly than in the
previous storm This storm lasted
but a few minutes and a light
rain followed. After half hour
of sunshine hail storm came, aud this
ragged for i've minutes Between 10
and II o'clock there was q brief
hurricane, in which dust was blown SO
furiously about the streets that pedes-
TRANS were almost blinded The weather
became more settled after noon.
The cold spell has done much damage
to growing crops in the Northern states,
where there has net only been heavy
frosts but ice in many sections 1t is
hoped that the frosts have not extended
down through the lower part of the state
and Peninsula, but as the result will not
be known for several days, it can not be
said whether the damage will be slight
or heavy,
