TO INCREASE CARRIERS PAY.
They Provide Their Own Horses and
Receive Only $500 n Year

The post Office appropriation bill, which
has just been, reported to the House by
Chairman Loud Of the committee on the
post offices and post roads, makes an an
preparation of $500, 900 for the continuance
of the rural free delivery service during the
next fiscal year.
In view of this manifestation on the part
of Congress of a desire to continue and ex-
tend the rural free delivery service, Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath has felt JUS
tilted In issuing an order increasing the
salaries of all the regular free delivery car
riers, who provide their own horses. or
other modes of conveyance, from $500 to
500 per annum, to commence from the LIST
of January of the present fiscal year, and
to be paid out of the unexpended balance of
the appropriation provided for the service
for 1889. Many faithful carriers have in
timated an intention to resign on account
OF. the insufficiency of the pay. This order
which meets the approval of members of
Congress of all political parties, will prob
ably relieve the difficulty which has hither-
to embarrassed the service.

YerOusiy Wounded.

NEW YORK. January 19.-Chief of
Police Manning Crow of Somerville, N j.,

early today while chasing a burglar The

noise of an explosion. Going out to inves-
tigate he learned that the safe in the office
of Swift and Company, Chicago beef deal
ers had been blown open with dynamite
When Chief Crow reached the office of
the company he saw a man coming out.
He called on the burglar, but the latter
refused to surrender. The chief chased
him for a block, and then the burglar
stopped suddenly, turned about, and fired
at Chief Crow, the bullet penetrating the
lungs. The burglar then started to run
again and the chief, although wounded and
with blood flowing from him. followed.
He ran for about q block when he fell
exhausted. Neighbors carried him to his
home. The burglar who did the shooting
got away. There were three men in the
plot to rob the safe The thieves did not
have time to rifle the safe.

Coal Miners and Operators I'm Joint
Meeting at Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 19.-Today's
session of the coal miners convention was
devoted to the consideration of amendments

diately upon the acceptance of an appoint
ment or nomination for a political office.
1t was decided to donate $500 to the striking
shoemakers of Massachusetts.

the joint scale committee was not ready TO
report, and the convention adjourned until
O'Clock this afternoon.
Despite the great difference between the
demands of the operators and miners il is
believed by both parties that an agree
ment will be reached. The miners desire
II for the reason that they are under great
expense IN attending the convention. The
operators will do all in their power to bring
ii about at the earliest possible date for
various reasons, the principal one of which
is that numerous large and valuable lake
contracts are awaiting bids, which cannot
be made until the operators know what the
mining price shall be for the next scale
year

Is a considerable field for American oak,
under certain conditions.
The freights charged on non-European
woods average from Al to Al per cent
higher than those on European woods. The
longer the distance the higher becomes this

south Germany only over the water ways,
The consul says some remedy for these
conditions should be sought.

Cornish went away without making any

had been treated properly when he was on

borne would be taken out of the case and
that District Attorney Gardener would

about it he simply said that he was will
