WANT MORE CARS.
HamIine Citizens Ask for Fifteen
Minute Service.

A delegation of Hamline citizens appeared
before Supt. Smith, of the city railway, yes
terday and presented two requests, the first
asking for a fifteen-minute service on the
Hamlne line, and the second, that an ex-
tension be made from Minnehaha and Lex
ington avenues to Prior avenue, providing
short and direct route to Minneapolis
Supt Smith informed the delegation that he
would have to present their requests to the
higher officials of the road, and could give
them no more satisfactory answer, but he
told them, that in his opinion, a more direct
route tc Minneapolis than the one they now
have would be detrimental to st. Paul trade
In his opinion, the first request is likely to
receive the immediate attention Of the Off
cials Of the road, but the other is extremely
doubtful.

the undertaking rooms of Mccarthy & Don

day established the fact that the infant had
undoubtedly been murdered shortly after
birth. The body was that of fully developed
child and the condition Of the lungs showed
that it had lived after birth. That death was
due to external causes was clearly shown
from the condition of the body. The left
jaw bone was broken and confused, while evil
dence of strangulatiOn was plainly evident
by finger marks about the throat. In addi-
ton there were other reasons TO indicate death

THE BROWNSVILLE NEGRO
DEPARTMENT DETERMINED TO KEEP HIM
OVER THE WHITES.
It Shall Not Affect the Appointment Of More
Negroes in the South One Way
the Other.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2S.-The
consider the incident of the shooting OF
the postmaster at Hogansville, Ga, as
closed. The postal officials say that the
matter was exaggerated from the begin
ming, and that the postmaster, who has
returned to his duties, is not being made
the subject of further annoyance.
Precautions have been taken to pre-
vent the boycotting of the office as far
as possible by having mail cars closed
when trains stop at Hogansville and
by warning neighbOring postmasters
against encouraging the practice. 1t is
admitted that apparently the office is not
conducting so much business as usual,
but the belief is entertained that citi-
zens generally viii soon realize that
it is the purpose of the Department TO
protect its appoint2e and will then sig
Nifty their acceptance of him in his Of
fetal capacity and resume their rela-
tons with the office.
1t is semi-offcially stated at the Post
Office Department that the Hogansville
Incident will be allowed to have no in
iuence, either for or against the appoint
ment of colored men to offices in Geor-
gia or other Southern States.
The Department said an official,
discussing this phase of the question,
could not afford to retaliate by increas-
ing its selection of colored men; nor
could it afford TO decrease the number
on account of the incident"
Mr.. Lyons, the colored man who is
seeking the appointment to the postmas-
tership at Augusta, Ga, was at the Post
Office Department to-day. He said the
shooting of the Hogansville postmaster
was an occurrence that could have hap
pened at no other place in the State, and
added that at most places there was no
extreme prejudice against colored men
as Federal office holders.
