25. The Optic says: Postmaster Gould,
Yesterday, sent to the chief clerk of the
railway mail service, at Denver, hetero-
oenious collection of odds and ends of mail,
collected from the debris of the Shoe
maker accident. Pieces of paper money,
parts of money orders, letters illegible,
and other things too numerous to men
tion, constituted the assortment, which
was too badly burned to be of much use
to any one. None of it was mail matter
originated at either of the offices here.
Postmaster Allen had in the wreck
register for Washington, D. G., containing
his money order report. This was no
doubt destroyed, and will give him much
trouble in duplicating the report.
