THAT S O'CLOCK DELIVERY.
1t is Not General as Yet, but Partial in
Operation.

An item in the PRESS yesterday
morning referred favorably to O'Clock
delivery. Postmaster Small said yester-
day with reference to this delivery, that
it is not general but is confined to the
business part of the city and few resi-
dences on streets centrally located. The
carriers work eight hours day. Some OF
them who deliver the business mail at
5 o'clock have little extra time and for
the past month they have been using this
in making deliveries in a number OF
streets adjacent to the business quarter of
the city. The territory they cover varies.
Some nights, when the mail is light, they
cover more ground than on others.
In 1892, there was 5 o'clock delivery
all over the city, as well as collection
in the most thickly settled streets at $50
pm. But to do this the carriers fire.
quently had to work over time. 1t was
about this period that letter carriers all
over the country put in a claim for extra
pay for all work in excess of eight hours
a day and the claim was alIowd. Port
land letter carriers were allotted altogeth
er some $1,000 for back pay for extra work.
This has not yet been paid over to them,
but it will be when they accept it in
settlement of their claims, for the amount
allotted to carriers all over the country
was considerably less than they had asked
for and there has been some idea of
standing out for more.
When it was found that carriers could
not make the 5 p. IN. delivery and 9. 30 p.
m. collection without working extra
time, three new carriers were asked for
but they were not granted. Hence it was
found necessary to cut off this collection
and the delivery in the residence por
| tion of he city.
1t may not be generally known that a
collection is made at a. m. from all
boxes on Congress street, between Grove
and North streets. A letter placed in
these boxes after the p. M collection,
will go to Boston on the a. m. train
next morning.
| Postmaster Small has been making an
| effort to secure package boxes to be placed
| in different parts of the city, in which
| newspapers and parcels can be placed.
For the collection Of the packages from
such boxes it would be necessary to have
horse and light cart. The department
has, so far, refused to allow the in tro-
duction of these package boxes. 1t is
hoped that they may be soon procured for
they would prove great convenience.

The shafts Were Broken.

Yesterday the American Express Com
pany's team was passing the head of
Cross street, when the horse slipped and
FELL to the ground. The driver Mr.. Con-
icy, and two other gentlemen,. one of
whom was Mr. Smith, cashier of the
company, were on the seat. When the
horse went down, Mr.. Smith was thrown
to the ground directly back..of the horses
heels. The horse began to kick and it
looked as if Mr.. Smith could in 10 way
escape injury. But by a great effort he
pulled himself out and putting one leg
over the shaft drew himself up, thus re-
gaining his seat not much hurt but con-
siderably shaken up and slightly bruised
The shafts of the wagon were broken.

claims He Has Been Robbed.

An old soldier from Togus named Dun
can Campbell. complained yesterday that
sometime ago when he visited Port.
land he got full and pawned his brother s
watch that he had with him, with man
for a dollar The watch was worth $50.
Afterwards he went to Norway and from
that town sent the man the dollar and
gave him the directions by which the
man was to send the watch. He didn't
get the watch. although the man wrote
that he had forwarded it as directed by
the express company. The company say
that they have neither received any pack
age from the pawnbroker nor any pack
age directed to Mr.. Campbell. Campbell
has complained to the police who will
look into the matter.

MYSTERIOUS BICYCLE.
1t Has Remained Two on Wharf Without

1t Has Remained Two on Wharf Without
fan Owner.
Tuesday morning, when the officers OF
the Barge office came down, they found
an old Columbia bicycle leaning against
the wharf rail. They thought it belonged
to some of the boatmen Whereabouts and
did not give the machine much attention.
But on Wednesday morning the machine
was still there, and up to Wednesday
night was not called for.
Then there began to be speculation.
Had some wheelman, tired of life. rid
den to the wharf, left the machine and
com mitted h imself to the waters? Or
had some bicycle thief left the mach'n
and betaken himself to boat? These
and many other questions have been ask
ed, but no one has solved the mystery
The machine is an old style Columbia,
cushion tires, and numbered $685.

A QUESTION OF TAXES.
Portland and Deering Are at Logger
Heads.
Lots Intended for Evergreen Cemetery
Cause the Difficulty-A Bill in Equity

Lots Intended for Evergreen Cemetery
Cause the Difficulty-A Bill in Equity.
Civil war seems imminent between
Portland and Deering, unless healing
balm is distributed. And the trouble all
arises over question of burial lots.
Yes eIday afternoon City Solicitor
Milford G. Chapman fled bill in equity
to restrain City Treasurer L. Jones OF
Deering from selling three lots of land
belonging to the City of Portland, but
located in Deering, These lands are
taxed in Deering for about $50. Port
land has refused to pay these taxes be-
cause the land has been bought for the
purposes of Evergreen Cemetery. and
cemetery lands are exempted from tax
alton. The city authorities of Deering
decline to admit that this land is ex-
empt from taxation, and have advertised
the lots for sale on the sixth of next Jan
uary.
The bill in equity was filed with mo-
ton for preliminary injunction, pend
ing the suit.
The answer of the authorities of Deer
ing has not been filed yet,and SO it is not
known what their answer will be.
There has for long time been some
little feeling in Deering about Ever
green Cemetery, since as it increases in
size it withdraws taxable. property from
Deering. At the same time Deerlng
people have to pay 20 per cent extra for
burial lots But on the other hand Port
identifying of the cemetery, while Deer
ing of course pays nothing.

report" 1t feeds this gentry with
muni6cent salaries. but it ex-
poets something in return. II
no reports come in the spy's ser
vices are no longer needed, and is
it to be expected that the class
of men selected for this service
would have any scruples in
making up reports or swear away
the liberty of any mani h. Won
Werthern stated under oath in
the Bush trial that the Marshal
told him that he must bring
in reports about the conspiracies
of the royal:s.s. When he an
swered that the dreaded royalists
were doing nothing whatever. the
great marshal answered that their
inactivity WIS n sure sign of
their conspiring; and whether
they did or did not. reports m ust
be sent in or no salary would be
forthcoming. We have bad
numerous similar statements from
spies now in the service of the
marshal.
With such inducements what
can be expected Z 1t was pay
day last Monday. The marshaPs
pets had been idle for sometimes
and many of them were afraid of
getting the "sack" when pay day
came around. and consequently
rumors were set a-fying and re-
ports were as numerous as mos
quitoes. The result was salts
factory to-the spies.
The marshal has evidently not
very much discernment, he seems
at least to swallow every report
which comes to him about the
wicked royalists. We are aware
Of one report brought in by an
spy, which probably

Bloodshot eyes, weary looks and
bad tempers were noticeable yes
terday morning among the sup
porters Of the Republic. And
there was cause enough for the
described condition. The attor-
ney general and marshal had
again been listening to ridiculous
rumors, and "Alarmontly" yarns
and the result was, that it was
dead sure. this time, that royal
list uprising would take place and
to quell il the services OF the
army, citizens reserve, sharp
shooters, etc. etc., were called
upon. So instead ofsitting COZ
fortab--y at homo among friends
and hail the arrival of 1895 with
q hearty toast in punch or ginger
ale. as the case aud temperament
OF the man might be, the braves"
donned their belts and = onldsfed
their guns and wentoIn picket
duty. They stood silently in the
night outside the houses of the
''royalists" and listened to the
rnerriment going on. The station
house was crowded with specials.
The marshal staid there all night
and no sleep visited the heads
OF rne government. res, There
was one sensible man among
them and that was Mr.. Damon.
He was present at the Wedding
at the house of Mr.. j. A. Cum
minis and seemed to enjoy himself
very we'll. But then Mr.. Damon
never did take stock in Mr..
Smiths "uprisings." That moth.
ing happened or was intended to
happen has been proven. and we
can only hope that the boys
didn't catch cold by watching the !
moon, and that they have fopnd
their tempers again.
The only serious question in
the matter is that such ridiculous
action Of the authorities discrad-
it, not alone the government, We
wouldn't care snap for that. but |
the whole country. and it is GER |
tainly injurious to the whole com
munity. The Advertiser has'said
the same several times and we |
fully agree with ii. Our morn
ing contemporary, though, found |
the cause for such disturbances
in the talk of noisy" royalisis.
and claimed that the runaors en-
anated from royalists. That is
where the Advertiser is wrong,
and we have no doubt that If it
had considered the matter care
fully. it would have been able to
discover the true culpriss.
When a murder is committed.
q clever detective always asks
himself. who can be benefited by
this crimei And the same prin-
riplo should DO followed il this
Instance. We ask then, who can
pc benefited by these contestant
scares" Certainly not the
royalists. Surely not tie army
md citizens guard who are put to
inconvenience and annoyance. ,
The authorities. we are sure will |
rather sleepin peace than beingin I
