sums up the political situation:
1.-TWO Or three months ago I

Newport News Splendid Record

Newport News Splendid Record.
The reassessment Of real estate
has Just been completed in New
port News, and the figures, when
compared with those Of FIVE years
agJ, show a remarkable record OF
progress and improvement. An in
crease of 1884 ,542, or more than
go per cent. is shown over the val
uation Of 1890, period of only five
years. From our exchanges we
note that the reasSessmeqt OF real
property, in the different towns OF
the state, shows a marked growth
which is quite encouraging, but
none of them can show such rapid
strides as Newport News.
HiiThe corresponding figures III
1890 were as follows: Value Of
town lots, s6SO,oSS; value'of Build
ings on lots, S471 1926; total value
of lots and buildings, S1,15l,0l3.
The total value Of lands, lots apf
buildings in Warwick county. in
cluding Newport News, in 1890
was 81, 1877, 259.O9. The correspond
ing figures under the new assess
ment are a,45l,3 7O.ll. In 1885,
there were no town lots in War
wick county and the valuation o
lands and buildings for the entir
country was only S5O5.O47.4O.

The Cliff House, Near san Francisco, Which
 Was Recently Destroyed, Win Be Re-
 membered by Many New Haveners
 The Cliff house, near San Francisco, Cal, which was recently destroyed by fire, will be remembered by many New Haven people who have visited Califor- nia. It was one of San Francisco's most historic landmarks and for thirty years has been that city's most famous resort for visitors and pleasure seek CTS. No tourist who visited California thought his trip complete without a drive to the Cliff house through Golden Gate park, or in early times by the old ocean road. When the present Golden Gate park was but a succession of drea- ry sand drives there was a narrow roadway reaching westward from the end of what is now known as Geary street To get there involved a couple of hours tedious travel In vehicle and another hour or two over the old ocean road brought the traveller to the ocean beach. That was in 1858. In those days the Cliff house came into existence. The people of the city had no other place to go if they wanted to drive. There were no other roads leading out of the city.
 Captain Foster, an old pioneer cater CT, realized the desirability of the place for a pleasure resort. So he built the Seal Rock House." which became in the course of time very popular, It was the most westerly resort in the United States and travellers who came to the city made it point of visiting the place. In 1861 Captain Foster built what was subsequently, known as "The Cliff House." Captain Foster sold out his interest about fifteen years ago to Marsh SS Seldon, who ran it for only a short time, when the house passed into the hands of C. c. Butler and the Buck the property and established the Sutro and builder of Su1tro tunnel purchased the property and established the Sultro park, popular Sunday and holiday re- sort In 1886 James M.

 Promptness of Consolidated Road En-
 gineer and the FIagman-G Grade Crossing
 in Ansonia,
 About haif-past six o'clock Saturday morning an electric car belonging to the Birmingham Street Railway com pany ran into and broke the gates pro tecting one of the crossings of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company at Ansonia. The gates had been lowered for extra engine No. 4S1, which was approaching from the south The electric car was coming from Birmingham loaded with passen- gers and the motorman made no at tempt to reduce speed as he approached the crossing until the railroad compa- ny's flagman ran out on the crossing and hailed him. The electric car ran about half way over the crossing and the passengers made their escape the best they could. The locomotive en- gineer immediately reduced speed and so averted a serious accident. The cleo trio car was backed off the crossing, so that the engine did not strike it.

UNDER THE NEw RUhEs.

The Fla T Haven Office eAbsorbed-WestviIIe
 Post Office Comes in Later, Perhaps The
 New Rule to Promote Shivering.
 Postmaster Beach yesterday received circular from the national post office department announcing confrma- tion of the fact that the civil service rules have been amended so as to bring into the regular service superln- tendents of sub-stations and branch of- fees, as was promulgated a few weeks ago.
 The order will effect but one place in this city, and that is the branch office in Fair Haven. Superintendent William Moore will now hold his place during good behavior Another office that is likely to come under the rules is the one in Westville, for should the town and city consolidate the Westville office could only be conducted as a branch or sub-station.
 Postmaster Beach is of the opionion that it will not be long before the peo- pie living in the vicinity of these offices can be better served by having the carriers start and deliver their letters from these sub-stations instead of com ing and going two or three miles be- fore they reach their route.
 The new rules governing the letter carriers went into effect yesterday. Tn consequence the carriers shivered outside of the building until the pre- scribed hour for entering. This new rule is not likely to prove either very popular or beneficial to the service.

THAT OYSTER SCARE.
A Few Assuring Words From Eminent
 Sources to Lovers of Oysters.

AA ESW hAHSuIlhS
 Sources to Lovers of Oysters. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 2, 95. Dear Sir: The oyster scare" seems to be mostly subsided, but we send you herewith opinions of two or three au- thorities which ought to have weight if any one remains unconvineed.
 The first is from Dr. Cyrus Edson, commissioner of the health department of New York city, and also of the New York state board of health. He says: 'Millions of raw oysters are consumed in this city, but there is very little ty- phoid fever here, only two or three cases a day, which is an extremely small number for city of 2,O0O,0O0 inhabi- tants. For people to stop eating oysters through fear of typhoid or any other disease would be as foolish as it would be never to go to bed because most people die in bed"
 Dr. Emmanuel Baruch, professor of bacteriology and infestious diseases in the Metropolitan Post-Graduate col- lege, the Flower hospital and the Wo- mans Medical college of New York, says; "Oysters are among the least liable of all kinds of food to carry dis ease, and in my opinion people may go on eating oysters to their hearts con- tent"
 Dr. J. Stowell of North Amherst, Mass, who attended the typhoid cases in that locality, which were attributed to oysters, says: "As far as I have ob served I have not felt that oysters were the cause, but that the fever w&S contracted from some other source"
