Post Office Department,
Office of Third Asst P. NJ Gen1
Washington, D. c., Feb A. 1899
Announcement is hereby made that,
in compliance with numerous requests
made to the Postmaster General by col
lectors and others, enough of the news
paper and periodical stamps lately in
use by postmasters to make up $4,000
complete sets have been reserved by
the Department for sale, and that on
and after the 18th instant they may be
had of postmaSters at first-class post
Offices, or upon application to the Third
Assistant Postmaster General, at the
rate OF five dollars a settle set con-
sisting of one each of the following
twelve denominations One, two, five,
ten, twenty-five, and fifty cents, and
two, five, ten, twenty-five, fifty, and one
hundred dollars. When applications
are made by mail, the money to pay
for the stamps must accompany the
order, with ten cents additional to pay
for postage and registry fee on the re-
turned packet.
Not less than a full set will in ar
case be sold: but as many more whole
sets as may be wanted can be bought.
When two sets or more are desired,
any or all of the several denominations
may be had in an answered condition,
that is to say, in strips not exceeding
ten stamps each, or in blocks of four
or more. The Department, however,
cannot require postmasters to segra-
gate, for the accommodation of pur-
chasers, marginal strips of stamps
bearing plate numbers; nor can any
guarantee be given that the stamps
shall be perfectly 'centered." 1t must
also be understood that the stamps are
not good for postage, and that after
their purchase they cannot be redeem
ed or exchanged for others by the gov
eminent.
The sale of these stamps will con-
tinue up to the 31st OF December next,
unless the stock is sooner disposed of;
but no more than the $4,000 sets win
be sold, and no more will hereafter be
printed. In fact, the working plates
from which the stamps were printed
will shortly be destroyed.
The newspaper and periodical stamps
of former issue-of which fragmen-
tary lots have been returned to the De-
partment by postmasters-wiu not be
sold, but, together with the stock OF
the last issue returned in excess of the
$4,000 reserved sets. will all be de-

BELLAIRE.
A Case Heard Before Mayor Freese
Yesterday Afteonoon--- Terry Will
Be Taken to st. Clairsville To-Day.
A Resume of Yesterdays Happen
ings.

The report of the freight wreck,
which occurred on the main line of the
3. q 0. railroad at point west of
Bellaire Sunday afternoon, as publish
ed in another morning paper, was en-,
tirely incorrect in detail and was the
cause of considerable dissatisfaction
among B. & @. officials generally at
Bellaire yesterday. The Register yes
terday morning exclusively chronicled
the facts concerning the wreck. The
article in the other morning paper, I'M
der bold display head, stated to the
effect that the wreck occurred shortly
after four o'clock; that the second Sec
ton of the freight train ran into the
first section; that both trains were
west-bound, and that six men, who
were on the engine of the second sec
ton at the time of the collision,
jumped, all of whom escaped being in
jured with the exception of Fillmore
Helsley, Bellaire newspaper CORE
spondent, who sustained fracture of
one of his ankle joints. Mr.. Helsley
was in Bellaire when the wreck oc
Cured and was therefore disagreeably
surprised when he read of the acct
dent yesterday morning. In truth, the
wreck, which was a slight one, oc-
Cured shortly after one o'clock Sun
day afternoon; it was the third section
that ran into the second section; both
sections were east-bound, and no one
was injured or even narrowly escaped
being injured No one but the engin-
eer and fireman were on the engine of
the third section The caboOse Of the
second section and the engine which
figured in the collision were damaged
considerably, but the caboose was not
burned, nor were some of the freight
cars derailed and wrecked as was stated
in the other paper. Two evening papers
published accounts of the wreck, which
also were incorrect in detail.
