Correspondence of The Evening Star
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June 20, 1896
The folly Of having too many irons in
the fire was demonstrated in a startling
manner when the news came to the ears
Of the citizens Tuesday last that their we'll
known and most trusted postmaster. Rich
ard Sayers. was a defaulter. and that he
had been deposed from office and was in
custody of the United States authorities
Dick" Sayers used to be a blacksmith
and still owns a big shop on Missouri
avenue. He left the anvil to go into poll
ties. and has been a prominent factor in
local circles The President appointed him
postmaster about two years ago Since his
appointment knowing ones say that ne has
been going a gait that was bound to lead
to destruction.
The esplanade is almost finished at least
all Of it that can be finished until several
disputes between the city and beach front
owners are settled. Some of the owners.
VINO don't seem to know good thing when
they see it. have stopped the work in front
OF their places. and as a consequence they
are being shut off from the promenade
This has occasioned several rows, and Sc
riouS riots have been narrowly ayerted
There was a hand-to- hand fight this MORN
ing between rival claimants to lots on the
beach front. that was INDUCED in by both
sexes. one woman had her shoulder hack
ed with a hatchet. another was seriously
battered up, and man was sent 10 the
hospital for repairs.
All the places of amusement are open,
and there will be no lack of entertainment
day and night. The esplanade was thronged
with people last night, and among the
crowd many Washingtonians We're seen.
