OUR MAIL SERVICE.

More than three months ago the
Item began the agitation for an inn
provement in our mail service, which
has since then been spread by other
journals. We then pointed out how
slow and unsatisfactory were our
means of communication with the
largest town in the county, which is
only four miles away, yet can be
reached by mail only in as many hours
as it takes to reach New York. The
Shenandoah HERALD shows, on the
evidence of the Postmaster, that it takes
about forty hours to send letter and
receive reply. Our connection with
all the towns in the Mahanoy and the
Catawissa valleys ard other towns
reached in that way is equally unsatis-
factory. With Pottsville and other
points south and east our communica-
tions are excellent, but in other direc-
tlons they are certainly of backward
character. To reach Ashland, Maha
noy City and Shamokin, we must
either send by route most circuitous
and lengthy and slow, or wait for a
service which is given but once day.
Superintendent Jackson has i'm
proved the postal service in this region
but Frackville has scarcely benefited
by it. We invite his attention to the
proposed route Uid the Pennsylvania
and the Lehigh Valley lines, which
the Item urged last June and the
HERALD is pushing now.-FrackUille

knowledge of Creek Soul ptors.

Ernest Curtius, the renowned Gree k
scholar and archeologist OF the Uni
versity Of Berlin, has made an inter
esting discovery regarding the knowl-
edge Of the Greek sculptors. During
the examination Of a number OF heads
found In Greece, Curtius devoted much
time to, the study OF the eye. On ex-
tendinghis observations to the. eyes OF
perfect figures from the classical per-
iod he learned that thesculptors made
considerable difference in the forms
OF the male and female eyes, While
the eyes OF the male were round and
more arched, those Of the female were
longer and hatter. These observations
agree with the measurement OF anat-
olnists to-day. The discovery
that the Greeks were aware Of this
difference also will be valuable in de.
termining the identity Of many heads
in the museums OF the world. In mum
erous cases it has been impossible &c
say whether tho heads belonged te
statues OF men or women, New Fork

Protecting Vines FromFrost.

r. A. Platt, who is an old newspaper
hlan, but now foreman of the cele-
brated Biggs vineyard, incidentally
gave us some valuable information,
relative to the preservation Of the
vine when it is subject to the frost.
As it is known by every vinicultura-
list of the country that small particles
of frost sometimes fall in certain dis
tricts at this season OF the year, and
as the young vines are very tender,
serious damages are often sustained
by it's ravages in single night. Mr..
Platt, who is considered one OF our
wide-awake men, is ready for the
frost should it come His theory,
which is said to be correct in every
sense of the word, is to have piles of
straw or manure covered with tar
placed at different points over the
vineyard, and if any Indications OF
frost appear he simply touches "a
match to the matter, and Indictments
ior several feet above the earth's sar-
face are soon composed of one dense
mass OF smoke, which continues until
after sunrise, when all danger IS pass
ed. This is a simple, but nevsstheless

ges OF the frost, e. Woo lana Dlemo erat,

ley, Weichers & Co. to-day Assignee Gould
said that personally he knew nothing of the
truth or falsity of the published reports OF
the alleged crooked" transactions of Mr.
Field. He was trying to get at the facts,
but as yet had learned but little He had
sought in vain for assets, but was unable to
get even enough to pay the clerks. There
was no bank account whatever, and only
faint hope remained with him that there
might be some call loans belonging to the
firm upon which he might be able to real
lze. report that warrant for the arrest
of r. NJ. Field had been placed in the hands
OF Inspector Byrnes was to-day positively
denied.
The interests of the Union Pacific have
been placed in the hands OF A. II. Holmes,
who realized that it would be impossible
tor the Union Pacific TO gain possession Of
bonds that had lallen into the hands of in
nocent holders and requested the COM
mittee OF securities TO release the bonds
from their order Of Saturday. Upon his
order it was. done, and the stock can now
be handled on the EXCHANGE. There still
remains a goodly number of the bonds, the
ownership Of which will likely have to be
settled in court.
1t was said that careful estimate of the
net loss that will probably result from the
failure of Messrs. Field, Lindley, Wiechers
Co, is about $SO000O, of which 100000
will pro badly tall on the Union Pacific
Railroad company and the balance to
scattering. AS an offset to this loss there is
the investment which the firm had made in
the Cuban sugar refineries, which is esti-
mated at $780, 900. Whatever is realized
from this asset will lessen the loss first
mentioned. The announcements that the
Union Pacific company is ready to take
up the bonds from present holders created
much better feeling in Wall street.
Frank J. Sprasue has obtained from
Judge Lawrence, Of the supreme court, a
temporary Injunction restraining Field,
Lindley, Wiechers & Co., E. A. Hussey and
Others rom disposing Of certain stock of
the Edison General Electric company

An order for the arrest members ofthe
firm has been issued, and will be executed

ANOTHER GILLIAN SCARE.
No Apology or Indemnity for the Balti-
more Affair."

VALPARAISO, Dec. 1.-The press CORE
spondent was informed to-day on the au-
thority Of an official holding high place in
Santiago. thai the CHILEAN government had
no intention whatever of offering an apol-
ogy or indemnity, such as President Harri-
son required, and had no intention of re-
calling or moderating the reply given to
the American request, and that any expec-
tation that President Mont would in this
respect modify the policy adopted by the
junta was misleading. The president him
self it is said. was the most earnest ativo-
cate in the junta ola defiant retort to the
United States and virtually dictated the
answer sent to Minister Egan. Montt has
not changed his views since he exchanged
the office OF chief 0 the junta for that Of
PRESIDENT and Chill is silent now because
there is nothing 10 be said.
Meantime, although President Mott has
recommended a cutting down of the army
and navy. no steps have been taken to carry
out the recommendation, and even the vol
unteers sent back to their homes in the
north We're told to retain their arms.

The "Black Pear1'' Whipped in Tive nty-
Five ifounds by Ed PhinneY

SAN Francisco, Dec. 1.-Harris Martin.
the BLACK Pearl" OF Minnesota, and Ed
Phinnev, better known as Benny" of Bos-
ton, colored middle-weights fought to a
finish at the California Athletic club to-
night Tor purse o. 81 500 ~ ~
The men slugged at close quarters in the
first three rounds, the Pearl securing three
knock-downs in the first one proving
nearly a knock out. Benny retaliated, how
ever. by knocking the Pearl down in the
second round.
Benny missed nunlberless openings which
the Pearl carelessly LETT in his rushes, and
though of superior heieht and reach and of
good hitting power, he seemed disposed to
make a slow fight. The Pearl on the
other hand tried every chance to finish
Benny with his right, but the end of the
thirteenth round found honors about even.
At the close Of the twenty-second round
Benny sent the Pearl to the ropes dazed
with the lett in mouth and
punished him in the succeeding
round until the Pearl was groggy ana
reeling. The Pearl freshened. but the fight
progressed slowly until the twenty-fith
round, when Benny started in and pun
ished him about the ring with blows on
the head until the Pearl fell. He reused
to come to time tor the next round, and the
fight was given to Benny.
