Possibility that Wellington Will Have
Her Free Carrier System Restored.
Postmaster Levi Ferguson informs
us that the business of the Yelling
ton postoffice for the year ending
March 81 willin all probability restore
the Office to the second class. In
that event Wellington will be entitled
to The free carrier system. This does
not mean that mail carriers will be
given Wellington without an effort,
but the restoration OF The Office to a
second class Office will make it posi-
bic tn have the carrier system re-
stored.
The years business ends March 81
The receipts of the office have been
steadily Increasing for the greater por-
tion of the paStyear and Mr.. Ferguson
thinks it conservative prediction to
say that at the close If the present
quarter the Office will find itself in the
second class crowd. There is nc
reason why this should not be the
case. Wellington has been gathering
speed in her onward march of progress
until she has struck a trot, and il
Is only natural to expect the
poStOffice to keep pace with
the town. The free carrier system
for Wellington is only a question oI
the very near future if Uncle Sam is
wide awake and responsive to the
needs of his humble subjects.

Judge Finds Holes in the Plumbing
Law-Large Transaction at kau-
Misunderstanding of K1ondike Ro-
mance-Murderer Sentenced.
Plumbing Declared Void.

At the last session of the Legislature q
law was adopted providing for the exam
nation and licensing Of ali who are en-
gagged in the plumbing business. Judge
Sutherland, at Milwaukee, has rendered
an opinion declaring the law unconstltu-
tional and invalid The object Of the law
was to limit the number both Of the so
called master plumbers and the journey
men plumbers, and this object was &C
complished in part over month ago,
when out of about 800 men examined only
about GO per cent passed the examination,
while the remaining were refused licenses
and deprived of their means of earning
livelihood. They sued, and Judge Suther-
lands decision will bring joy to their
homes. There are two serious defects IN
the law, the court finds, one being the re-
quirement that a journeyman plumber
must pass the same examination as the
master plumber, and the other the permls-
sion given to firms to have but one of their
members take out license. The case
was decided upon the complaint of Jacob
Winkler, who failed to pass the exam
ination and was refused license.

WILLIAM M. SINCERELY is DEAD.
Well known Philadelphia Banker and

William NJ. Singeriy died suddenly at
his residence, 1911 Locust street, Phila-

was the immediate cause of death. Mr..
Singerly had been suffering for about ten
days from cold and had remained at

indisposition was in no way serious.
While sitting in his bedroom smoking
a cigar he was seized with a violent fit Of
coughing and Immediately afterward fell

Mrs. Singers granddaughter, Miss Mabel
Sinsery Meredith, and two servants. His
son-in-law, James s. Mccartney, had left
a few moments before the sudden end
came, leaving Mr.. Singerly apparently in
good health, apart from his slight cold.
The physicians say they had frequently
cautioned Mr.. Singerly that his heart was
weak, as result of excessive smoking,
and of late his custom was to take dry
smoke" Sunday, however, his cigar was
lighted and it is thought that the smoke
brought on the coughing spell, the sever

heart Mr.. Singerly leaves daughter,
Mrs E. Singerly Balch, who is at present
