PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES.
They May Be Used Between New York and
BROOKLYN and Sub-Stations

They May Be Used Between New York and
Brooklyn and sub-Stations.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-It is probable that
during the next year one of the most radi-
cal changes ever thought of in the postal
service of New York and Brooklyn will be
carried out. The scheme. as proposed by
Postmaster Collins, of Brooklyn, is to con-
meet the two main offices, and the main Of
fees with stations, by pneumatic tubes.
The plans, as presented to Postmaster
Van Cott and Postmaster General Wana-
maker, provide for the connecting of all the
b-postoffices of the two cities to the main
Offices and then having one or two large
tubes between New York and BROOKLYN.
During the last week experts from the
United States Automatic Tube Company
have been making careful examination of
the Brooklyn bridge structure to see the
best way in which tubes may be laid upon
1t. Superintendent c. G. Martin, of the
bridge, accompanied them.
Postmaster Collins said when asked about
the plan: ''The tubes can be laid under the
elevated railroad structure and over the
river on the bridge. Not having to lay the
tubes under ground will greatly lessen the
expense. In the time it now takes clerk
to tie up bundle of New York mail it
could be put up in one of the boxes for the
pneumatic tube, locked up and sent to the
New York office"

The Statesville Wreck Believed to Have
Been Caused by Tramps.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
STATEsvILLE, n. c., Aug. 2s-Twenty-
two persons are known to be dead as the re-
suit of the railroad wreck here yesterday,
but i; is thought that at least six more
bodies are in the bottom of the stream into
which the cars fell. Last night 81 bodies
were recovered, and to-day Mr.. Sink. of
Lexington. who was on his wedding tour,
died of his injuries. 1t is now believed
that the wreck was caused by tramps taking
up the track or loosening the rails, causing
them to spread. Some of the spikes were
drawn. Two tramps were put off Colonel
A. B. Andrews, Second Vice President;
Captain w. H. Green, General Manager;
Superintendent r. r. Bridgers and other
officials are here, and will put detectives on
the case to run down the tramps.
The bridge where the wreck occurred is q
high arch culvert, two miles west of States
vile. 1t is nearly 200 feet long and nearly
so feet high. 1t was not demolished, as
was at first reported. The train left the
track just as it reached the culvert. When
the cars were well across they tumbled into
the water below. The bridge was SO strong
that it was not damaged seriously. Several
crossties were split. To-day 40 convicts
were at work clearing away the wreckage
and searching for more bodies

Immediately began to prepare for the in

calmly lighted his pipe and started
for Fairs residence, half a mile dis

in field near the house, he walked up to

his shoulder and within full view Of his
terrified family, and while Farr was begging
him for Gods sake not to shoot, he deliber-
ately discharged the weapon, with the above
result.
Farr> terribly lacerated and unconscious,
was carried into the house. Physicians were
summoned from Doniphan and Hastings,
who entertain no hopes of his recovery.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Several of the

liminary steps toward organizing syndi-.
cate to absorb from s., 200, 900 to Sc, ,OOO, 900
Of the AZ per cent bonds at the extension
rate of 2 per cent. The object is believed to
be thefssue of additional circulating rates,
based on the bonds. 1t is Believed that if
such block of bonds is taken by the na-
tional banks, it will not be for the purpose
of securing the small profit on the trsnsac-
tion. This profit will not exceed one-half
of per cent. The increase of the circulat-
ing medium which is said to be contem-
plated, is a matter of especial interest at
this season, when the demands of the West
for money to move the crops are heavy and
continuous
1t was stated to-day that whether or not
the syndicate is successfully formed de-
pends largely upon the Bank of Commerce,

the Fourth National Bank, the Importers
