WHAT LAST QuARTER's RECEIPTS
OF PosroFFICEs SHOW.
Gain Made by indianapolis Considera-
bly, Above the Averase-Mr.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Postmaster-gen-
eral Wilson has caused to be repared a
statement showing the increases In a num-
Der OF the larger offices Of the country dur
ing the last quarter of the calendar year, as
compared with the same period last year.
The increase In the general postal business
OF the country is looked on as one OF the
most hopeful signs OF the times, as a gen.
eral increase in the postal business of the
country indicates clearly a general revival
Of business along all lines. The increases
noted are for the quarter from March 81
TO June 30, of this year, as compared with
the same period last year. The figures for
Indianapolis show a gratifying increase. For
the fiscal quarter ending June 30. 1894. the
receipts OF the Indianapolis office were $751;
951 .52, while for the corresponding quarter
Of the present year the receipts increased
to $S7,479.4 As, an increase of $S.527.56, or 10ls
per cent.
Some Increases In other cities are as fol-
lows: New York. s116.04: Philadelphia,
54,s3f; Boston, s4e.ss1; Baltimore, 81 .sOS;
ST. Louis, s42,142: Cincinnati, s16.s50; Chi
cago, s13s.o20; Pittsburg. 81. pol; New Or
leans, 1856; Brooklyn, SIS, i96; Cleveland,
SIS. ia; Buffalo, s9.042; st. Paul. s14. 400; De-
troit, s1s,s17. These statements were pre-
pared for thirty cities, the percentage Of
gain for the thirty cities being 7.6 per cent.
1t will be seen that the percentage of in
crease for Indianapolis is considerably above
the average.

TOO MUCH FOR THEM.
Whftehill's Curves Bother the Lead
crH Very BADLY.


There isn't much to say about yesterdays
.-Oh. why don't you hit 'er, out" sort CT
contests that are productive OF nothing but
bad tempers. whitehin was simply too
much for the leaders, and he moves them
down like amateurs. They never once
showed any ability to hit him and he
wound those speedy inshoots around their
necks, inning after inning. while they strug-
gled vainly to find the ball. Whitehm does
not look much like a pitcher. nor has he
made much Of a reputation as such this
season, but he was a second Rusie yester-
day so far as indianapolis was concerned.
George Cross pitched fine ball. With such
pitching as he did yesterday Indianapolis
would win nine games out of ten. and 1t is
too bad it had to be wasted on a defeat.
He was steady and strong at all times.
Those first two runs resulted largely from
a scratch two-bagger that rolled along the
foul line, and, under other conditions. would
nave gone right into MOTIFS hands. 1t was
a piece of hard luck-that 'fiuke" hit OF
Campau's.
The visitors gave whitehill magnificent
support, playing an errorless game. Ray
mond. DUNCAN and Newman each cut of
ugly drives, the first mentioned taking one
from McFarland's bat in the fifth that
came at him like a shot. 1t was indeed a
"circus" catch. Cross was we'll backed up
for the most part. Canavan's somewhat ex-
cusable tumble costing a couple of runs.
Roat's error was a wide throw from deep
short, which cost nothing. however. as the
man was caught stealing second. Mccarthy
had seven put-outs, one Of them a fine
catch of a hard line drive by TwIneham in
the second. Hogan and Hogriever looked
after a few hard ones.
With two out in the first. DUNCAN hit
safe and Campau and Strouthers followed
suit. two runs resulting as Campau's hit
was for two bases. Gillen struck out.
Newelrs single earned one for Indianapo-
lis in the second. The visitors added two
more in the third. when. with one out.
Nicholson got a double and stole third.
While playing in close for him, Caravan
let Dungan's grounds roll through him,

Strouthers hit safe, sending DUNCAN in.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The Postoffice
Department yesterday decided that award

raised the point that unless the award of
prizes was made according to priority of
postal mark date the advertisement will
be unavailable. Judge Thomas, the AS
sistant Attorney-general for the Postofice
Department, decided that this was un-
necessary. BY the Times-Herald's plan
prizes are awarded for the best solutions.
