1t is noted as one of the incidents of the
financial disturbance at the West that +.
II. Horton received the other day from
California check for a considerable
amount on account of a brothers estate of
which he is one of the executors. The
agent or attorney in whose name the check
was drawn, had neglected to endorse it and
it was necessary to return it to him. When
the check got to Brattleboro the second
time the California bank on which it was
drawn had closed its doors to avoid a
threatened run, and the check could not be
cashed. The banks suspension, however,
is understood to be only temporary.
The new Sunday morning train, which
arrives at BrattleDoro at O:40, brings
large mail from Boston, New York and the
West, which is open and ready for delivery
at 1918. The post-office is open on Sun
day mornings from $3.50 to 10:30. Last
Sunday morning mail was received by this
train postmarked as late as 10 o'clock in
New York, The closed pouch arriving at
9:45 A. NJ. week days brings the major part
of the business mail which has heretofore
arrived at 11:10. On account of the
change of time of the afternoon mail, from
2:24 to 2:50, the carriers are half an hour
later than formerly with the afternoon de-
livery. This makes it uncertain whether
they can always make their collections of
outgoing letters and return to the office in
season for the mail closing at 5:15. This
being the case 1t will be the safe way for
business men having important letters to
go on that mail to send them to the office
instead of putting them in the street boxes.
