A VERY NEAT. SCHEME
~ alG.t0N DIV ~
To Facilitate the Local Nail Ser
vice is Suggested.
LETTER BOXES ON STREET. CARS.
a Boon to Residents of the outlying
Wards and Suburban Towns.-It
would Tighten the Carriers Work
and Accommodate the Public.

A new idea for facilitating the local
mail collections has been under consid-
Grafton in the Wheeling postotice Tor
some time, and while an announce
ment that it will DO adopted would be
premature, it is at least among the pos
sibilities OF the not remote future. IN
Mr. ]. T. Cowl, Superintendent Of
Mails in the Wheeling Office, outlined
the scheme to an ISTELIIdENcER reporter
yesterday. 1t is to place letter boxes
on the street cars for the accommoda-
ton of the people living along the line.
When the electric cars are run to the
Island this would be great boon to
residents in that part OF town, US it
would to-day to those living in the ex-
IRENE ends Of the city. AnHarrange-
ment could doubtless be effected with
the company by which the idea
could be carried out. Letters could be
dropped in the box at any point on the
line, and when the car passed the post
office it would be the work Of but o
moment for q carrier to 20 out and take
the mail from the box. As it is now,
letters written by residents OF the Island.
Eighth or First wards are not collected
after certain comparatively early
hour, until the next day. BY the street
car arrangement, not only these wards,
but others, would have decidedly i'm
proved mail facilities. The idea could
even be worked on the whole line, for
the benefit Of Benwood and Martins
Ferry. "lh
MI. Cowl was asked If the project
was new one. '7ptI" 2tl' ~
comparatively new,mhe answered.
1.-THE thing has been considered in the
department ut Washington, and |
would not be surprised il it is adopted
for all cities which have street cars.
The only difficulty in the way is that
the mail boxes now made are too heavy.
They need not be so strong. on car
where the conductor would have his
eye on it all the time. l have no doubt
the department will adopts new form
OF box for the purpose, and put the
scheme into general execution. 1t
would be Especially beneficial here,
however, owing to the.wayour popula-
ton is strung out. ;ailw n
"Did you Know" Mr.. Cowl continued,
"that it has even been gravely proposed
to run regular mail car on surface
roads in the large cities, with route
agent aboard to distribute the mail ut
stations all over town. That would re-
lieve the carriers OF much d the. drpdg-
cry, expedite the delivery Of mails, and
be a benefit to the public and to the
service in u hundred ways. All these
little improvements will come in time;
the postal department always Keeps up
with the procession"

Horse Falls Dead.
A horse belonging to James Giesey,
the contractor, was left on Sixteenth
street yesterday by a boy who had been
driving him, while the boy went into u
house. The horse was not tied, and a
passing drove of cattle scared it and it
ran at frightful speed up the street.
Not fai away Edna Rogers, the three
year.old daughter of William Rogers, n
well known heater atthe Whitaker mill,
was standing in the street. The horse
struck and Knocked her down, and ran
over her. She was picked up, terribly
bruised and cut, and carried to her
home near where the accident hap
pened.
The horse ran on several squares be-
fore he was stopped. lie was then led
around in front OF Beltz, Fading 4
Co.'s planning mill, and after standing
there a minute he fell to the street
dead. 1t is supposed death was due to
the exertion on such hot day.
The child was examined by DR.. Be
bout, who found its wrist badly in
iured, and its eyes, TACO and head
bruised shockingly. It is thought the
horses hoof did not strike the child, us
there are no marks OF the shoe. Though
her injuries are very painful, it is not
thought they will prove fatal. It seems
miraculous that she escaped as FORUM
ately as she did.

that year the Board OF Education re-
commended to the General Conference
that the second Sunday in June be for

all the churches, and in 1872 the Cen

custom was not universal, though gen.

upon all N. f. churches in the land.
