Warrant for Carriers Arrest.

FALL RIVER. NJ $ December g.
The post-ofilce scaDda rs out to be
case OF gross. criminal n gence on
the part Of a substitute carrier. In.
stead of, as reported, three bushels Of
Matchmaker being found undelivered, the
quantity is nearer twelve bushels. The
place in which IL was found is within a
block OF the post-oflice in the loft Of the
drmory and central fre-engine-house
Three long flights of stairs led up to IT,
few days ago. while Mr.. Try, en-
glneer Of the fire department. was haul
ng over some ire-engine material he
noticed lot Of letters, pap rs. ETC.. ard
supposed tina, they were refuse matter
mat the jar tor had thrown away. Yes
terday he had occas on to 20 into the loft
lgan, and found a quantity Of general
natter that had recently been mailed
He sent for Postmaster Sullivan and
by investigation it was found that hooks
ma crdnni Of the place were stuff
with Matchmaker from Baltimore. Phila-
ielphia. Glasgow. Montreal. Mdnchest r.
ana other English cites; Paris. and other
points At first ii was thought that some
'dzy letter-carrier had thrown away some
circulars that burdened the mail. but
IN closer inves igation many sealed let
ters were found
The matter was all sent between Au-
gust and November Of this year. and
was taken from the Office for delivery by
substitute letter-carrIer who was ac-
customed 10 use the armory as a loahng-
place, and, rather than do the work o.
delivering the letters. he stuffed them
nto the hiding-places where they were
found.
Postmaster Sullivan Is trying to have
he mail delivered. but many OF the adj
dresses on the packages have been torn
of.
large number OF English and Irish
papers and periodicals are received here
ana also many letter from abroad and
at times each month the carriers deliv-
cries are very heavy.
