Costa's Directory will be issued on or
about May 10th, 1895; the same old
reliable Directory that has been issued
since 1890 We ask the support Of all
our merchants and professional men,
which we must have If they expect to
get a good Directory this year. VIII
mington will not support Two books.
We quote the following from the
Republican Of May 30th, 1894:
"If any man deserves success from the
patronage Of the people OF Wilmington
for perseverance,, Rssiduous attention to
business and quiet endurance OF business
wrongs, it is Costa, the City Directory
publisher. For the public convenience
he has lust issued his annual Whining.
ton Directory of Sl6 large vo. PIP.
bound in paper boards and morocco,
beautifully printed on excellent paper,
because Costa pleases to give the public
and his patrons all the points in good
printing and good materials at his new

be given the Costas for so honorsbly and

IT MUST BIZ EIGHT HOURS
NEW RULES PROMULGATED BY THE
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

No qnHore Overtime for Carriers-The
Government Trying New Plan 20 RE-
duce Expenses Millions Paid for Extra
work
A set Of rules relating to the carriers
have been received by Postmaster Moore
from the department Ia Washington
One OF the most important relates TO the
eight hour day and prohibits carriers
from reporting prior to schedule time,
either for the morning delivery or for
beginning any subsequent trip; they
must lot remain at their desks or In the
wol king rooms Of the office during any
intervals between trips. or during dinner
intervals, nor remain nt the post office
after reporting from their last trip; they
must record the actual time OF employ
ment each day and al service rendered
Reports OF daily trips must bs made, but
carriers filing out their entire report at
the end Of the day will be discharged
The fact that overtime has been made
must not be concealed by either carriers
or Buperintendents, on penalty OF i'm
/ mediate removal. and carrierE are pro.
hibited from doing any clerical work.
All carriers, superlntandsnta of carriers
at stations, and al clerks charged with
recording carriers tims will be dismissed
for inability to state the substance Of
these rules to any Of the department. in.
| specforH
The object Of these rules Is to prevent
carriers from claiming pay for working
overtime Over a million of dollars bas
aiready been paid and over 81 QUO 00l
more Is pending on these claims The
intention OF the department Is to test the
practlcabillty OF covering the routes with
the existing force, working eight hours
daily, and In the event OF this not prov
ing practicable. substitutes will do the
extra work. 1t Is believed saving can
be made Ia this way.
Quite a number Of the old carriers have
claims for overwork pending and it ia
thought they will soon receive checks fol
the amounts due. In other cities these
claims have been paid The amounts
range from 5000 TO $500

News reached this city to-day OF the
total loss at sea of the big wooden tug
Colon, we'll known in Wilmington, where
she was built three years ago IL
seems that the Earn Line
steamer Earndale, Captain Carter,
from St Jago, Cubs, passed in the
capes yesterday for Baltimore. When
she left st. Jago the Earndale had Colon

she passed in yesterday Captain Carter
reported to the pIlots that the tug had
sprung .aleak on the passage and was lost.
These meagre reports fail TO show
whether the tugs crew were lost at sea
but It is thought that Captain Carter,
with the GOODNESS that Is characteristic
of him, saved the man and
made every effort to bring the
tug to port Being In the trough OF a

The Colon belonged TO the Spanish.
