THE NEW REGISTRY LAW
Which Will Go Into Effect In the
Postoffice Department Thursday.

Which VIII Go Into Effect in the
Postofice Department Thursday.
During the past few days the local
letter carriers have been going
through course of instruction per-
tanning to the Inauguration of the new
postal regulations permitting the reg
istration of letters by carriers, which
goes into effect Thursday morning. 1t
may be stated for public information
that the new system is not for the
benefit of business and professional
men, but for residents. with particu-
lar reference to those ON the outskirts
of the city, and remote from the post
Office. The following official card is
self-explanatory:
In giving to residents of this city the adj
vantage of having their letters registered
ct Their own a0oT the abRned f 81
make it necessary for the department to
exact certain requirements, which, though
easy of fulfillment, are, neverthless, I'M
/. Only letters can be registered; and they
must be ready in every respect when the
a for Wait NE sven ON Fl a
minute longer than is necessary to write
the receipt.
q Every letter must be inclosed in an en-
velope strong enough to safely carry con-
tents, and be in perfect condition. The en-.
velope must bear name and address OF
sender, name of addressee and his post
office address, and have the postage and
registry fee prepaid. either with stamps at
tached or in money, the exact amount to
be paid to the carrier. The writing on en-
velope must be plain and legible.
If you have failed to comply with any OF
these requirements, the carrier is obliged
to refuse your letter and hand you this
card. If it be properly prepaid, he will
register the letter on his next trip.
Your receipt will be written by him and
show the amount of money paid him for
postage and fee, when stamps are not at
tached to your letter. II there be sur
plus, 1t will be returned from the postoffice.
Carriers are forbidden to make oral ex-
plantations or engage in discussions with
patrons, to register letters free, to ad-
vance money or stamps to pay postage, or
to make change. This card shows plainly
their duty in every case, and the rules laid
down in it must be strictly complied with.
If it be found that your letter is unmail-
able for any cause when 1t reaches the
postoffioe. you will be notified direct.
The registry fee for letters, foreign and
domestic, is cents in addition to full post
age.

The citizens of Bellaire and Shady
side were shocked to learn of the ac-
cident which befell Edward Marling,
last evening, and which resulted in the
young mans death.
Marling was a fireman on the Mar
tins Ferry yard engine, and last even
ing after having finished his work he
left for his home at Shadyside, small
sillage south of Bellaire on the Pow
hatan branch. He had trunk on the
train which he wished to have put on
near his home, and soon after leaving
Bellaire he started for the engine and
Informed the engineer where to stop.
His request was granted, and he start
ed back over the train, which consisted
Of box cars, flats and coach, and
while on top of one of the box cars
the train passed under the tipple Of
the Rose & Morgan coal works, and
the young man was hit by this struc-
ture, cutting large cash on the left
side of his head and breaking his
neck.
When the train reached Shadyside
and the crew had put off the trunk it
was found Marling was missing, and
after search the body was found on
top of the car. The train men carried
the body down and it was taken to his
home. He was only twenty-seven
years old and had many friends.
Among the railroad men he was quite
q favorite and his chances for promo
ton were very bright.
The tipple at the coal works is very
low, and it is supposed the young man
forgot about this and walked along
without a thought of his impending
danger. This makes the third acci-
dental death in this family in very
sort time. The young man was
member of the Firemen's Union. The
funeral announcement will be given
later.

GROCER AND COFFEE
Helped Out of Trouble by Postum
Cereal Coffee.

"The daily use of coffee causesd in
digestion to both myself and family,
my husband being the worst affected;
an hour or so after using coffee, the
form of indigestion called belching or
gas rising was shown, often accom-
panied by pain and sick stomach. We
had heard of the merits of Postum
Food Coffee and concluded to try it.
We were much pleased with the re-
suits, and are now using Postum in
preference to any other hot drink.
The sick feelings that used to come
from coffee drinking have disap-
peared.
II have known of several who de-
clared that Postum was weak and in
sipid after the first trial. 1 always
discover that in such cases the Pos
tum Coffee has been boiled about the
same length of time as the coffee,
which is not half enough. / have ia
ken pains to explain to such people
that If they would use four heaping
teaspoons to the pint of water, let 1t
stand on the stove until the real bub-
hing begins, then note the time by
the clock and allow it to boil fifteen
minutes from that time, stirring down
occasionally. it would produce rich,
clear, deep brown color, with fine,
crisp taste.
"Mr. H. H. Bidwell. of Springfield,
Mo-, who had been a user of coffee for
years, concluded that his indigestion
was caused by coffee drinking. He
tried Postum. and is now great
friend and advocate of it, both for
young and old. Mr.. Dan Trogden,
one of Green County's leading far
mers, had somewhat similar expert
ence. My husband Is grocer, and
says that the sales of Postum are
steadily increasing as it becomes more
and favorablY known. Mrs. Fred

4 Further Advance in Wheat-A Bull

CHICAGO, March 29.-Wheat had a
further advance today on buying for short
account. There has been a large amount
of short wheat covered the last two days
under the influence Of bad reports from
France. Outside trade continues light
Primary receipts were somewhat over last
years. Clearances were light. Cash de-
mand for wheat here was very SLOW. The
seaboard reports twenty loads OF wheat.
Corn closed today just about where il
did Wednesday. with the rate narrow all
the session, and with the market subordi-

July oats were firm. gaining 1S61-4
May closing where il did Wednesday. July
oats are tor :Sht only l2c under May. Re
ceipts were 203 cars, with 100 for tomor-
row. There has been pretty good demand
for oats for day or so, on the theory that
their discount under corn was as much as
it is likely 10 get.
A further advance in the hog market
gave provisions bulge at the opening.

MERGENTHALER BUOY ANT.


The local stock market was again par
ticularl, active yesterday, after two or
three DAYS of comparative quiet. The boom
of the day however. was not this time in
Capltal Traction, but in Mergenthaler
Linotype. which advanced from 1872 and
fraction to 1874. on heavy buying orders.
and closed the session near its top price.
Capital Traction continued the downward
movement begun a few days ago at 10,
the low price reached yesterday being
1O4 "a. The to,al business of the session
was 1.355 shares, of value of aboutsS1l4.-
600 Transactions of leo shares or more
were made in Mergenthaler. 1876 shares;
Capital Traction, CO. shares; Washington
Gas. 100 shares; Lanston Monotype, 273
shares and Graphophone, 165 shares.
The Mergenthaler advance was not UNI
expected. 1t has been known for sew
eral DAYS that considerable orders were
in the market, as the price was consid-
cred relatively low for the stock. The ad-
vance made was a fun point. and it was
said that there were still orders untitled
at the close The price is the best since
the stock sold Eek" dividend. and dropped
TO around 1870 two weeks or more ago.
The steady decline Of Capital Traction
this week. with transactions almost as
heavy as they were on the advance last
week, uttdSlOuS lluNu bbSsiD inc
status Of the deal for the purchase of the
traction system. The story supposed to
have official sanction at present is that the
agent of the American Railways Company,
who was in the city few days examining
the property, was Obliged to leave with
his inspection unfinished on account OF
sickness in his family. !ie was supposed
TO return in a few days. but up TO the
present time is understood not to have ap-
peared again. II was on the day after he
departed that the stock began to decline
and some people hint that the two facts
are not uncOnnected. II is possible, OF
course that the American Railways Com
pany may not wish 10 purchase at SIPS n
share Financial men, close to the insiders
insist however that the deal is quite as
much on now as it was last week. and that
there is a good chance of the purchase
being made. Perhaps the stock advanced
100 rapidly for the wishes OF those who
hoped to profit by II in heavy holdings at
comparatively low prices.

Heavy realizing. which was accentuated
by the slump in Sugar, prevented any
further advance in the market yesterday
and caused fractional net declines in many
securities. The buying was importan;
all day. but not in such large volume
as the selling. except in a few securities.
The bears attempted TO accelerate the de-
cline in two or three sharp drives at the
market, but their efforts were for the
most part unsuccessful. Money was easy
all day and the fear Of tight money is
now thing Of the past. The bank
statement this week is now expected TO
be an excellent one, with an increase of
cash and another increase in the loan
account despite the heavy increase in
speculation during the past few days
Brokers who have been right on the mar
ket recently were of the opinion at the
close yesterday that the recession is
probably nearly If not quito over. 1t WAS
suggested that the opening this morning
may be OF fractionally. but that a renewal
of the public and clique buying is likely to
begin Immediately The close OF the
week tomorrow is expected to be at or
uear the highest prices. One or two
securities made new high prices for this
movement yesterday, among them most

The Sugar situation was the chief mat
t-r Of interest in the street. President
havemeyer supplemented his Wednesday
remarks with the suggestion that he sees
no hope OF an adjustment OF the Sugar war,
OF of the trust being able to drive the Ar
buckles out of business His talk in sucn
pessimistic strain had bad effect on the
stock OF his company. as was to be eN-
pected, but there are many careful people
coming around TO the view that he is
triiie anxious to air his gloomy notions for
man telling the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. These people. while not
willing TO predict that Sugar stock will
not sell lower. express the belief that
disagrees5le surprise is probably hanging
over the shorts in the stock. which may
be sprung at any moment. The most
plausible view of the situation at present
is that the officers of the trust, drawing
their regular salaries and having sold out
their stock largely. do not object to having
the dividend cut. on such good preteyt
as that Of economy. 1t is supposed hat
they intend TO buy their holdings in again
when the stock reaches a sufficiently low
price What this price will be.nobody but
the Sugar people can know, and Guesses
are futile. Nobody believes that the trust
has given up and acknowledged defeat. but
the talk of SO for its stock would suggest
that the bears had some such innocent
idea From a high price OF 1l0 on Wednes
day. and a close at 100 on that day. the
stock sold as low as % 3-S yesterday, and
closed at 9S "a.

any hesitation. During the past two
