A MURDERER's NEMESIS.
A Crime Confessed After 10 Years OF
Silence.

Sixteen years ago Albert MolItor, known
as the king Of Presque Isle county, Mich,
and his clerk Edward Sullivan. were mys.
teriously assassinated In Molitor's office. The
trouble was supposed to have arisen from
the arbitrary manner In which Molitor con-
Quoted his office as county treasurer
Atthe time Of the murder. William Repke,
welLto-do farmer Of Rogers City, was sus-
pected of the crime, but evidence to convict
was lacking, and he was never arrested.
The other day when the story OF the shoot
ing had almost died from the minds of the
people, Repke made n confession of the
crime, duplicating with him IA Of Rogers
Cltys best known citizens.
In this confession he saws the only reason
II was made is that Ill lux has pursued him
the past few years. His children have been
drowned, his barns and houses burned
without apparent cause, his Investments all
turned out badly and his horses died All
this would not have made him confess, he
says, but OF late he has been unable TO sleep
nights from thinking OF the crime. and he
could stand the strain no longer. The con-
iession stirs up great com motion, and all
the people implicated will be arrested, aud
Repke is in Jail.

DELINQUENT LETTER CARRIERS.

The Postmaster General Uses Ills OniciaI
AK Upon Washington Post Onicc EN-
ployes--Tho EiRht-Hour Law Taken Ad-
vantage of to Defraud tho Government.
WASHINGTON. March 1S.-Postmaster
General Wanamaker's summary remov-
al of four letter carriers from the force
of the Washington rost office and his
suspension of fourteen others. has al
ready had an almost magical effect
upon the free delivery service in this
city. The removed carriers, it was
proved, visited saloons while on duty,
"knocked down" street car tickets and
omitted collections from certain boxes
upon their routes All of the removed
and suspended men except one have
been guilty of charging for overtime
under the eight-hour scheme for car
riers. The postmaster general has been
aware of these facts for some time, but
has only just now succeeded in having
the delinquents fcrreted out.
1.-THE free delivery service" the Post
master General said yesterday, sis Pc
culiar. 1t is without counterpart in
the United States. Ten thousand men
are employed in this branch of the pos
tai service; each man goes his rounds
alone, with no one but himself to know
with what honesty and integrity of
purpose and with what assiduity and
faithfulness he performs his responsible
duties. In June, 1884, congress granted
'etter carriers fifteen days leave of alb
sence annually with pay. This costs
the government this year $4,000. In
May, 1884, congress reduced the hours
of service of letter carriers to the mini
mum, eight hours per day. This has
cost the government more than mill
ion dollars annually.
"The eight-hour enactment also pro-
vided that for service in excess of eight
hours per day, letter carriers should re-
ceive additional pay .pro rata. This
clause providing pay for overtime is
such a temptation to tardiness and loi-
tering, all at the expense of prompt and
efficient service, that many carriers have
not been able to withstand it. 1t is a
serious matter; Ss.416.0O are paid an
nually in salaries to letter carriers, and
in addition the Cover ment expends
| S11s,000 in street car tickets and S222,
600 for horse hire and wagons. This is
not alone to expedite the carrier service
and improve its reliability; it is also to
alleviate the burdens of the carriers"
