BETTER MAIL FACILITIES.
New Arrangements for Special Pouch
From Worcester to Chicago.

Postmaster Greene, who is ever on
the outlook for any means of benefiting
the local postal service, has been able,
through a change in time in the de-
parture of the Chicago trains, to effect
saving of about four hours between
this city and the western metropolis.
He has made arrangements to send
each day by the Chicago special a
special pouch to Chicago to be handled
by the railway mail service
The train is scheduled to leave this
city at 11.40 o'clock in the morning, so
that by the new arrangements letters
will be distributed and delivered in
Chicago on the afternoon of the day
following their departure from this city.
In the past the mail which was intend
ed for Chicago arrived in that city at
o'clock on the following day, too late
for delivery until the next morning
Postmaster Greene wishes the fact
emphasized that all mail intended for
New York, Albany, Chicago and the
west. including all Pacific coast points
should be deposited not later than 1890
o'clock in the morning to insure its
speedy delivery

Action for the Summit Accident.
Another suit growing out of the
accident on Burncoat street at the
Summit crossing, Sept. y, when a
pleasure party returning to West
BoyAton from Worcester was struck
by wild engine and the oc-
cupants seriously injured, has been
brought in the superior court.
This is the fourth action as a result
of the accident, and is brought at the
instance of James It. Higgins, we'll
known business man of this city,
against the Boston and Maine railroad,
with an ad damnum of $4,000, to recover
for the loss of his horse and the dam
ages to the carriage.
The case is returnable in the superior
court at the November return day, the
writ being served by Deputy Sheriff
Scott. Mrs. Higgins, as previously an
nounced in The Spy, has brought suit
to recover for injuries sustained, as
have Miss Ella Sawyer and Master
Dana Higgins, through his next friend,
the plaintiff in the present suit, who
were companions on the memorable
carriage drive.
The horse was killed outright and the
vehicle damaged. Herbert Parker and
Charles c. Milton appear for the
plaintiff.

BRIEF NAVAL SERVICE.
George W. Throop Returns to Worcester
After Several Months on the Wilmington.

George w. nroop Returns 10 worcester
After Several Months on the Wilmington.
George w. Throop Of the class of '97,
w. p. l., who will be remembered by
his numerous friends in this city, re-
turned to Worcester yesterday at tho
conclusion of his term of service in the
United States navy, in which he enlist
ed in the capacity OF electrician at the
outbreak OF the war.
After his graduation from the Tech,
Mr.. Throop entered the employ of the
General Electric Company at Schenec-
tady, N. Y. At the beginning of HOSTILE
ties, company of military engineers
was organized by one of the officials of
the company, and number of the en-
ployees of the firm entered it's ranks.
Mr.. Throop was one of those to volun-
teer but before he was called into SER
vice he enlisted in the navy and was
assigned to the gunboat Wilmington.
He passed through all the experiences
that fell to the lot of the crew of that
vessel, including the engagements at
Manzanillo and Cienfuegos, and was
engaged in the destruction of the Span
ish gunboats on the occasion when the
Winslow was disabled He was also
present on several Of the occasions
when the Wilmington and the other
vessels were engaged in cutting cables
and he has in his possession several
pieces of the armored lines which were
cut and portions removed to render
them useless.
Mr.. Throop in his position of cleo
trician ranked as a petty officer and
had the advantages of somewhat better
food and accommodations than the or
binary men, but he says he does not
care to remain in the service now that
the war is over, for his opinion of the
life of any but an officer in the service
is not a very high one. He enlisted on
the 23d day of last May and was dis
charged last Saturday at his own re-
quest, according to the terms on which
all the volunteers in the navy enlisted.
Mr.. Throop is eligible to examination
and appointment as an assistant en-
gineer in the navy, as several other
graduates of the Tech have done, but
at the time of his enlistment he did not
stop to consider that, as he accepted
| the first chance he received to get into
the service, and now he does not wish
to remain in the navy.
Mr. Throop is in the city for brief
visit only, as he intends to resume the
practice of his profession of electrical
engineering in the near future. While
in the city he is stopping at the Phi
Gamma Delta house on Everett street
| He Is a member of that society.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Dennis Collins Gets In and Out of the
Way of an Electric Car.

Dennis Collins, in an effort to cross
the street near Piedmont Church, was
nearly run into by an electric car
shortly after 7SO o'clock, last evening.
Collins started to cross the street, at
just about the time that the trolley
came along, and he steered himself in
to the middle of the car tracks in the
most accurate kind of a manner. I'm
fortunately for Dennis, however, he
had the luck to again usher himself out
of harms way, and he landed on the
other side in safety.
People who saw the act say it was
one of the most miraculous escapes
from serious injury that have been
seen in Worcester for some time.
The car was going at rapid rate of
speed, and people in it were thorough
ly frightened. The motorman was not
in the least to be blamed, as Collins
jumped right in the way

STORM lNTERFERED.
But There Were Brief School Exercises
to Commemorate Lafayette Day.

Thenasty rain STORM of yesterday in
terfered some with the observance of
Lafayette day in the public schools. 1t
had been planned to have exercises APP
propriate to the day held in all the
schools but in many the program had
been arrangedfo the afternoon. 1t was
found necessary to ring the no-school
signal at LIS, on account of the rain.
so those schools which did not have
their celebration in the morning did
not have any at all. The exercises were
general in their nature, consisting for
the most part of short addresses on
Lafayette's work by the teachers and
patriotic selections in song and verse
by the pupils.
