A REIGN OF TERROR.
Citizens Of Cripple Creek Prosecuted
by the Police.
Law-AbidinG People Put In jail and
Fined Without Slightest Warrant.

DENVER, Col, July 30.-A speciai from
Cripple Creek says that reign OF terror
exists in the town and that violent at
tack on town marshal Jim Marshall and
police magistrate Robert Mullen was
made. 1t is asserted that the marshal
makes regular assessments on the gam
bling fraternity and that respectable and
Iaw-abiding citizens are thrown In jail,
tortured and fined without even pre-
tence Of a warrant of authority. For sew
eral months ii is alleged, outrageous acts
on the part of several of the city officials
have been growing more frequent aud
bold, and SO completely have the police
terrorized the people that thev have not
even dared to criticiso the acts OF the
officials. Among those who have been
prosecuted are the "boy preacher" Rice
and his wife.

ditions TO the population of Providence
have not yet reached the letter writing
stage OF development. Then, TOO, the
weather theory may be somewhat respon-
sible. Ii Will be remembered that dur
Ing the month OF April there was
spell OF unusually warm weather. ms
may account for the Lack OF correspond
ence during that month, and in view or
the fact that the summer was approach-
Ing and is now with US, Ieople try 10

intendent, Mr.. Burr, says he is kept so
busy that he has not yet been able 10
make report for this year mp 10 the
present time. His figures for last year
are, however, available. They show
large increase over '94 Here again one
wonld not believe that the number OF
orders issued to different parts of the
country were 81, 522. But such is the
fact, and these orders amounted to the
large total OF S305, 1920; while the num-
ber OF orders issued to other nations
was 870l, amounting TO s121, 794.S6. This
sh ows more domestic than international
business as of course should be the case.
But these igures represent only the num-
be of orders issued. There Is yet to be
considered the numb of domestic orders
paid, which count up TO rs, 95S. amount

DANGEROUS STREETS.
Places Where Fire Apparatus Drivers
Keep a Sharp Lookout.

Providence, like every other munich
pality, has its dangerous fire rGns, that
is to say, sections of the city where mar
row, winding streets or business teeming
thoroughfares make 1t extremely difficult
for fire engines to pass through with any
degree OF speed ana safety. As might be
expected, these runs are wholly confined
TO the business section OF the city.
Probably the worst run - the ono from
engine No. 2 on South. Main street, down
South Nam, through Crawford and Dyer
and thence.up Westminster to Mathew
son. Another Is from South Main to
Dyer, up Weybosset ana across the foot
of Pine street. North Main to Orms is
also a bau one, as Is the run across Gus
tom House street.
Al certain times during the day these
streets are practically inaccessible to fast
driving, while Hay street Is absolutely
impossible, owing to the large number
of grocery wagons blocking tho way.
lhe hily localities are also very
troublesome, especially in the winter
time, when the sheets Of ice make the
inclines a hundred fold more dangerous.
College Hill il the bane OF the fire, de-
part nont drivers lives; many and many
time serious accidents are narrowly averted
by the merest chance and were IL not for
the intelligent, well-trained horses, tho
casualties OF the department would be
considerably increased.

Italians BADLY Scared

Zurich. July 30.-The Italians in this
town are in a state OF panic. in conse-
auence OF the riots growing out of the
killing. OF a Swiss by an Italian. and the
attack on the Italian quarter. in which
serious excesses were committed. Land
lords who have Italians for tenants.
fearing that damage may be done to
their property. are putting the Italians
into the streets by wholesale. and hum
dreds OF them are sleeping In the forests
adjacent to the town. about bivouac
fires, with sentries 10 guard against an
attack. The troops occupy the streets
Of the town. but there Is a general ex-
odus of Italians. and 5000 of them are
besieging the railway stations to get

That at the POStOffice
Shows An Increase.
Decrease During the Heated
Months of Summer.
Some Facts About Amount of Money
Transferred On Orders.

Very few people realize the amount OF
business performed at the Providence
postofiice. The mail system of the
United States is really grand thing.
The regulations for the delivery Of the
mails all over the country are tho best
and most Potent examples of government
control that can be mentioned. 1t is not
an experiment, but prscticability, having
been tried for many years. No doubt in
no other way could the mail system be
managed with greater regularity or econ
omy than by the government.
BY glancing at "A few lgures from the
quarterly report of the cashier some idea
Will be obtained OF the amount OF busi-
ness carried on in this department. When
one buys 2-cent stamp 20 send letter
to some friend in the country there Is
little thought that the aggregate OF all
the purchases amounts In three mouths
TO $40, 57i. IS, for those are the figures OF
the report. The cost OF a postofiice box
seems insignificant IN the individual
case, but the receipts obtained for the
use of boxes amounts TO -2o03.6S for three
months. Then from all the miscellaneous
articles, such as envelopes, paper wrap
pers, etc., there accrues the by no means
email sum OF s1170.99 during The quarter.
This gives grand total OF all the busi-
ness done in this department. as soO, SAY. 40.
Great as this sum appears, II is an in
crease of only 2lo per cent. over the same
quarter last year. The cashier, Mr.. Val
entine, states that the receipts began to
fall off during the month of April. The
reason for this decrease IL not known.
One would expect an increase over last
year, Just as the population would in
crease. Perhaps the majority OF the ad-
