NEW FREIGHT ARRANGEMENTS.
r. q r. Now Hauls Freight to West Chester

Prior to December LIST tins Baltimors
& Ohio Railroad Co. handled freight
between West Chester ana Philajel.
pnia, says the West Chester Local News.
They loaded car dali" at t'iar No IL,
Philadelphia, iiontao it down the river
to convenient ppint on thth line and
ran 1t over the railroad 10 the junction.,
near Wilmington, and transferred it 10
the Philadelphia & Reading road, which
line ran it up 10 LenaEe. BY this means
tho freight reached West Chester at
7.30 O'CLOCK in the morning. nhis
arrangement was discontinued on De-
cember LIST. The reason given was that
it cost too much during the winter sea-
son, when ice interior in the river.
The company has been recslving II eight
for West Chester ht all its stations in
Philadelphia. The cost OF culIe ting
it, delivering it OIL the car at pier ~
and then battling WITH the ies Sas so
great that it was claimed il did not
| pay in winter time when shipments
we're light and the percentages OF per-
| ishable goods was small. Now freight
shipped by that line is unloated at the
| junction and reloaded on the 2. & II.
cars and reaches Lenape ON the second
| freight train each day.
The Philadelphia & Reading railway
then took the matter up. representa-.
rive was sent to West Chester, who
called upon several of the leading mer-
chants and notified them that the same
service would be offered by that line
which the B. & o. had formerly given.
The P. 4 r. will run its car to Birds
boro and then south over the line OF
the Wa N. railroad TO Lenape. This
was satisfactory. All freight intended
for that route has 10 be delivered ut
the Willow street wharf. 1t works just
as we'll Us the former plan and West
Chester is accommodated.

convention will have to decide, ana me
exclusive attention it gains renders tne
situation quite 4monotonOus.
The greatest difference Of opinion among
the delegates from States is shown IN the
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri
delegations. Nebraska delegates are espe-
cially anxious to subserve the interests OF
Mr.. Bryan. They held two meetings during
the day. but failed to reach CONCLUSION
and will meet again tomorrow morning

Senator Allen, who may be considered
the leader of the delegation, as he is
also the especial champion of Mr.. Bryan.
is trying himself to secure that action
which will rebound to Mr.. Bryan's
benefit.
A number of the delegates from Ne
braska are APPARENTLY favorable to the
reference of the whole question to a
committee Of one from each State to be
appointed to confer with the Democrats
at Kansas City, and it is believed that
Senator Allen is in accord with this
sentiment. In his eXhortations to the
delegation he has dwet especially upon
the Importance of avoiding the complica-
ton which the nomination of Watson.

In the position Senator Allen is sharply
antagonized by Senator Butler, of North
Carolina, and Senator Pettgrew, of this
State.

their differences into the convention
arena itself.

as far east as Thirteenth Street. but when
efforts were made TO bring them down
town crowds of strikers and sympathtzers
interfered with their crews, and in several
cases dragged them off the cars.
From time to time during the afternoon
and night attempts were made to operate
the cars. but in nearly every case resulted
in attacks by crowds along the streets,
practically stopping traffic.
The company, when it found that the
cars had not been operated, ordered them
back to the sheds.
Numerous cars were stoned. and the mer
operating them attacked by crowds along
the streets. The strikers declare that they

have scarcely alluded to the matter. The
Department of Posts admits the shortage
Of $4,000; but further investigation has
Drought to light the fact that in July last
year the receipts showed a falling off of
about $4,000 from the average of the
months previous, and that this shortage
had been kept up ever since.
It appears that about that time Director
of Posts Ra thbone gave orders for the de-
struction of $411 OG0 worth of sur
CHI rge stamps, on account of the issue
of new stamp. This work of destruction
was left in the hands of Charles f. w.
Medley and his assistants, but it is now be-
lieved that none of those stamps We're de-
stroyed, the theory being that they were
sent out with the new stamps.
Absolute proof that something had been
going wrong is shown'by the fact that Au-
oitor Barrie reports the receipts of the
island for the first five days of May as
asgregating $500. Should this average be
continued. it would mean a total OF more
than $4,000 for the month

The Inspector-General has merely made
a, quarterly inspection. On his former in

his latest inspection his suspicious were
further aroused: and he resolved to probe
matters to the bottom. This close

which have not yet been made public. 1t
seems that Neeley kept scarcely any ac-
