News has been received here of the
sudden death in San Francisco of Miss
Mamie Williamson, daughter of Mrs.
Frances Williamson of Austin. Miss
Williamson was the last of five brothers
and sisters, who have all died in recent
years. She was about 20 years of age, and
was apparently perfectly well a few days
before, and her death was therefore sudden
and unexpected. Her body will be brought
home to Austin for burial.

As o. J. SMITH VIEWS 1T.

Smith of Reno:
Among to-day's arrivals at the Palace
are o. ]. Smith, a leading barrister, and
R. w. Parry. a stockman of Reno, New.
According to Mr.. Smith, conditions in the
Silver State are more promising than has
been the case in many years.
Nevada is filled with undeveloped
riches" said he, ''but capital has been
slow to take advantage of the many oppor-
tunities afforded for profitable investment
there.
'In the political field some interest is
manifested in the Congressional fight next
Fall. The Democrats and Free Silverites
seem to be rather intoxicated with the
belief that Frank Nswlands will be chosen
to succeed himself. Things have changed
materially in the last couple of years,
however, and with the return Of good
times the voice of discomfort has been
silsnced and calm reason has resumed
sway. The Republicans are gaining new
strength continuously, and Mr.. Newlands,

POSTOFFICE AGITATION.
Plan to Remove 1t From It's
Present Location Causes
Strife and Discord.

On Wednesday last it leaked out that an
attempt was being made to remove the
postofice from its present location 10 the
Bartlett block to q point in the northern
part Of town. This fact created consider
able feeling and kilograms were at once
sent to the Postofice Department at
Washington requesting that no immediate
action be taken in the matter. and stating
that petitions and explanations would fol-
low by mail.
On Thursday the people Of the northern
part OF town circulated a petition asking
that the change be made, and a counter
petition requesting that no change be made
until an inspector had been sent here to
investigate and report on the situation, was
circulated by those favoring the present
location.
When Postofice Inspector Coyne unex-
pectedly dropped In on Thursday noon it
was thought there would be developments,
and that gentleman's movements were
eagerly watched by the contending fac.
tions. Mr.. Coyne, however. informed the
SENTINEL that the question Of removal
had not been referred to him and that an
other inspector would probably be sent
here to report on that matter, or that pos
sibly he himself might be sent back to
lookinto the question, but at PRESENT. he had
nothing to do with it, being here on other
business.
In discussing the question Mr.. Coyne
further informed us that under the regula-
lations Of the Postofhcc Department the
postmaster Of al Office of this class has the
right to remove the Office to any conven-
lent location, provided that said location is
satisfactory to the Department.
On Thursday afternoon Inspector Csyne
and Postmaster Broy examined a number
Of sites, particularly the O'Dunkel build
ing on the northwest corner tf Main and
Clark streets, but as far as can be learned.
no decision has been reached as to a loca-
ton. in case a removal is authorized by the
Postofice Department.
As the matter now stands no immediate
action is expected, and an inspector will in
all probability be sent on to investigate.
In the meantime the war will go on, Meth
er party being disposed to surrender its
cause.
