THE TOTAL FALLS.
Not So Many Men at City Post OfHc'
Today.

The Burst of Energy at the Post Office
building has Temporary Relapse. There
are six less men working on the site today
than yesterday, and so the revision of The
Stars calculation can be again postponed.
The spirit of procrastination has spread
from the structure to the surrounding To-
calities so fast that 1t is difficult to an
ticipate any necessity. These ffty-eight
men who were laboring today carry within
them the power, according to the old cal
endar, to finish the building on or about
the 4th of March, 1897.
Yet, if the rain should hold off, or as 1t
did last evening, come only after working
hours. the average this week will undoubt-
edly break the record The men at the site
are anxiously watching the clouds, and
hoping that there will be no storm to de-
prive them of a day of work, which adds
its little proportion to their small wages.
But men are being laid off for other rea-
sons than the weather. This morning the
lonely bricklayer who was yesterday rep
reseating that great trade was told that he
could not go to work this day because he
mad done so much yesterday that he was
ahead OF the stone work. So the brick
work was stopped for the day, and the
contractor Tor that section of the labor
hlred four men and put them to work max
ing the final adjustment of the double ele-
vator that is to run from the cellar to the
top of the frames to carry brick up on the
walls These were the same men who were
at work yesterday making the little shed
on top OF the east frame, so there was no
gain.
The last of the great capitals at the main
entrance will probably be set today, and
then this part of the work will be ready for
the arches that are to form the entrance
proper. There are three of these, but only
TWO OF them will be built at first, as there
is yet great quantity Of heavy stone TO
De hoisted to the tower, and 1t is not safe
to use the derrick with a long arm on such
Welshts The frames or centers of these
arches nave been built, and there should be
no unnecessary delay in that particular
;. Apropos of the number of men employed
II was noted by a Star reporter yesterday
AFTERNOON that there were twenty-six men
at work on a row of six small brick build
Ings on I street between 18th and 18th.
1hese men covered the walls, and they are
putting up the buildings like magic The
proportion there secured between the wall
space and the number of men would give
reason to believe that 800 men on the post
ONCE building would not be too many.

GLEN ECHO, October Is, 1894.
Political affairs in this section of Mont
gomery county are becoming somewhat
stirred up, and the prospects are for live
ly campaign from now to election day.
There has been considerable disaffection
reported among the German and anti-Gor-
man wings Of the democratic party, and
there is still further disgruntlement at the
failure of anti-primary promises regarding
office to materialize. The two wings of the
republican party are, on the other hand,
believed to be acting in harmony for We'll
Hngton. Tonight a meeting of the repuhli-
cans is to be held at the amphitheater here.
and speeches are to be made by Gen. Allan
Rutherford, NJ. Dorian, A. A. Braddock and

Jumped From a Train.

The passengers in one of the coaches
of the west bound Baltimore & Ohio
train were treated to a startling theat-
rical performance in the sudden, mad
plunge of a fellow passenger through
the car window last Wednesday. The
window was down, and the frenzied
individual pitched himself through
the glass before any one could stop
him. Theincident occurred at 8 o'clock
in the morning, a short distance west
of Oakland Nd, while the train was
in motion, but not under full head
way. a search was instituted, but
nothing could be found but his hat.
1t is supposed he was not seriously
hurt, and was able to pick himself up
and depart for whereabouts unknown.
The man was young Swede about
twenty-five years of age, but his name
and "present address" are not known.
Just before his mad freak he was talk
ing to one of the trainmen and seemed
rational.

ment. During the year 56,877 COM
plants were received affecting the or
