WASHINGTON, March 27.-During Mr..
Cleveland's former administration, and
also during that of Mr.. Harrison, the
issue was repeatedly made concerning
the time when the commission of a
postmaster expired. 1t was held in
some instances from the date of appoint
ment and taking charge of the office and
in others from date of confirmation and
issue of commission. The latter inter-
probation, in case of a recess appoint
ment, gave the incumbent from six to
nine months beyond the fol y.ars.
When the new administration assumed
the reins the question was raised as to
what should be the policy on this sub
ject. The senators and representatives
were anxious to have the matter deter
mined, as there was a long list of recess
appointments during 1889, which would
expire from now on if the four years
from appointment should be the rule,
but in the other case would run into
next December and later if from date of
The Postmaster General, after care
fully considering the subject, came to
the conclusion that four years. term of
service meant four years, and therefore
should begin on the day that the post
master took charge of the Office, and not
from date of commission. This decision
will make great difference in the ten
ure of long list of postmasters who
were appointed after the aj1urnment of
the called session of the Senate, when
President Harrison was inaugnrated, in
the spring of 1889.
Another decision, affecting fourth
class postmasters whose offices were
raised to the presidential class, which re-
quired new commission, has been made
This class of postmasters have been un-
der the impression that their fourth
class appointment would not be reckon
ed against them, but that their four
years. term would commence from the
date of their presidential commission.
Some of these cases have just been
brought to the attention of the Post
master General. He is disposed to take
the ground that the four years should
include the time before the office became
presidential, provided the ssme person
was reappointe :. If a new man was Sc
lected when the office was raised, he
would come under the four years rule.

Aside from the cougrcssman's regular
duties in committee and on the floor uf the
house, his correspondence hitherto has
consumed the lions share of his time, di-
rectly or by consequence. As rule nearly
every letter received by him entails the
writing of three letters ON his part-hrst,
one of acknowledgement; second, one of
inquiry, addressed To some official in one
of the departments, and, third, one an

addition, the departments have to be Wis

A Cure For Damp Houses.

People who are unfortunate enough to
live in damp houses, particularly near un-
drained land, are apt to think that there is
no help for them save in removal. They
are mistaken. Successful experiments have
shown that il is quite possible to material
ly improve the atmosphere in such neigh
burhoods in very simple manner-by the
planting OF the laurel and the sunflower.
The laurel gives oil an abundance of ozone,
while the soulful eyed sunhower is POI
tent in destroying the malarial condition.
These two, if planted on the most restricted
scale in garden close To the house. will be
found TO speedily increase the dryness and
stlubrity Of the atmosphere, aud rheuma-
tism, if IL does not entirely become mem
ory Of the past, will be largely alleyiated.

STRUCK BY THE TRAIN.
n WELL-KEOWY MAN INSTANTLY
KILLED NEAR THE CITY.
Mr.. John O'Brisn While walking on the
Chesapeake aud Ohio Track Meets His
Desth-An Inquest To-Day.

One of those sudden and unexpected
accidents, which NIL the soul with horror
and the mind with the uncertainty Of life.
occurred yesterday evening. by which a
well-known man was hurled into eternity
in the twinkling Of an eye.
Mr.. John OBrien. a highly-respected
and aged citizen. who lived on Chelsea
Hill. just outside Of the city limits. was
struck last evening by a train on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad about two
hundred yards beyond the Richmond Lo-
connective and Machine Works. and. as
the circumstances indicate. was instantly
killed. On account OF the hour at which
his body was found 1t is supposed that
he was struck BY the train which leaves
Broad-street station at $50 p. NJ. for the
West.
When found his body was lying between
the main track and siding with the
skull crushed and both legs broken.
Mr.. O'Brien was an old gentleman.
about seventy years Of age, and well-to-
do citizen. Though aged. he was in Wig
orous health. and accustomed 10 walk
up the railroad in the afternoon In quest
Of his cows, which grazed in that direc-
ton. and yesterday left home In search
of a young heifer, which had not return
ed home as usual. II Is supposed that
while he was on his return home the
train came on him too suddenly and UNI
expectedly for him to get entirely out of
the way. and he was probably struck by
the side OF the locomotive pilot and
knocked TO where he was found.
The body was not found for several
hours, and at 10 o'clock Coroner Frfsch-
korn was notified Of the accident. He re-
paired to the spot, and ordered the re-
mains to be carried TO the undertaking
establishment OF James McDonough, at
No. Is north Eighteenth street, where he
will hold an inquest at noon to-day.
