INCREASING BUSINESS.
Il Has compsIlad The Purchase Of Three More
canneLnp Machines For iha posIofice.

business has so far increased i'm the
Providence postohice that II has be-
come necessary TO purchase three ad-
ditional cancelling machines, one for
the local Office and one FOR each OF the
two ub-stations. The machines will
come from the American Postal Ma
chine Company of Boston, and large
amount OF government red tape will
have to be used before the machines
arc installed and are In running order.
The machines are operated by electri-
cal power furnished by the Narragan-
sott Electric Lighting Company. and
this corporation makes proposals for
the power furnished FOR running the
mgchincs. now i'm the office and makes
no urovigion FOR those to- be added.
Hence it is necessary for the postnas-
ter TO make n requisltion on the treas
ury department through the custodian
of the postofiice and custom house
building for the necessary power to run
the HTfTrrrfurIai rr1athirt--.-titis being n
part " the usual routine adopted I'm all
such cases.
The custodian of the building. who Is
the collector Of the port. then calls Tor
proposals. for the months of May and
june frnm the Narrhngansett Electric
Lighting Company. the fiscal year end
ing June 80. and then he calls tor pro-
posals for the year commencing July 1.
These proposals 60 To the treasury de-
partment and finally the machines arc
at work.

York. And In both instances. as in
many that have preceded, the fender
was chiefly responsible for the fatalities
instead OF serving 10 prevent them. The
extension fender, which 50 many hys-
terical folks were anxious to force our
local trolley corporation TO adopt some
time ago, has proved Itself deadly
thing in many cities. The simple ap-
pliance which is used on the Providence
cars has more than once demonstrated
its efficiency.

Many Closed Yesterday for Want OF
Conl.

| Coal.
A coal famine is threatening Meri
den, and many shops were unable t.
run yesterday owing to their supply o
coal being exhausted. The Merder
Journal says of the case:
None of the dealers have any soft Goa
on hand, the big demand of the las
week having emptied their pockets o
soft coal, which is the kind used by
factories, it being much cheaper thar
the hard.
Had the blizzard of yesterday con-
tinued two or three days Merider

1000 tons of coal lying in New Haven
harbor in readiness to be forwarded
here by freight.
Inquiry at the various factories to-
day showed that a great many of them
were closed-some because they had nc
coal and others because employees fail
ed to appear.
The aeolian shop was closed because
it had less than three tons of coal and
that was being used to keep the water
pipes from freezing.
Of the one hundred and fifty men en-
ployed at the e. A. Bliss shop not one
showed up at the factory this morning.
Many big drifts circled around the fac
tory.
c. Rogers Bros. were closed all day;
cause, no coal.
The Meriden curtain fixture shop is
shut down because 1t has no coal and
cannot run until it gets it,
Part of the Charles Parker compa-
ny's factories were running to-day and
part closed.
The Meriden Malleable Iron company

The Chapman company was not run
ming to-day for two reasons-no hands
and no coal.
The Bradley & Hubbard shop was
running, but it has only a two days
supply of coal on hand.
The Meriden Britannia and Wilcox
Silver Plate companies were running
as usual. The latter concern got in
good supply of fuel yesterday.

Funeral of Albert Ashworth.

Albert Ashworth. who died last week
at his rooms, No. III Crown street, al
though a young man, was an inventor
Of rare promise and had given many
indications of unusual inventive skill,
In his zeal in his work he had over
taxed his energies and was troubled
with insomnia. He had been accus-
toned to taking medicine for this and
is believed to have taken an overdose,
which caused his death. 1t is the opin-
ion Of the young mans friends and Of
the medical examiner that death was
due to accidental causes. He was en-
ployed by L. T. Snow
The funeral was postponed on account
of the blizzard and will be held this af-
ternoon at o'clock from Trinity Meth

POLO.
New Haven Defeated Springfield by the
Score off to 3.

l
| Score of 6 to- 3.
| The large crowd that went to Bowling
hall last night was we'll pleased with
the excellent game Of polo which was
put up by both the Springfield and
New Haven teams. The game was
clean and fast from the start until the
finish. The Blackbirds started out at
a terrific pace and Cornell by quick
and clever work had two goals Gagged
| before the Blues knew where they
We're. Connells work was praiseworthy
| and we'll deserved the applause that
was accorded 1t. Hipson poked an
easy one past Lations a few minutes
later and things began to look serious
for the New Haven team who were
playing hard and giving John Smith
all he could do to prevent Bone and
Whipple from scoring. Less than two
minutes from the time that Hipson
scored the third goal for the visitors
Bone got pass from Whipple and
sent 1t flying past the great goal ten
Ger, VINO started out to meet him. No
more scoring took place in the first per-
iod. But the Blues seemed to take on
new life in the second period and start
ed out with a winning gait shortly af
ter the start. Whipple accepted beau
tlful pass from Bone sending it into the
net amidst applause. The next goal
was the signal for general outburst of
enthuiasm. Bone won the rush. drove
the ball past Smith in the short space
of four seconds and tied the score.
Springfield protested, for what reason
1t Is not known, as they were solely to
blame in not starting out when the ref
cree blew his whistle. Leahy was firm
In his decision and awarded New Ha-
ven the goal New Ravens play from
this time on was both scientific and
brilliant. Bone and Whipple kept up
an almost incessant fire at John Smith
But the old timers eye ha not lost any
of its cunning and the stops he made
were to say the least of it miraculous
in the extreme. Whipple in this period
was able to beat him twice, however,
and the gong sounded with the score
to in New Haven's favor In the
third period the Springields were never
in 1t. Occasionally Hipson and Con-
nell would catch on to the leather, but
their efforts to cage it were generally
spoiled by either Legion or Whiting be-
fore they got very dangerous. New
Haven's rushers again kept up a hot |
fire on Smith, but he proved himself a

easy time, but did what he had to do |
well. He was ably assisted In the de-
tense by Legion and Whiting.
