POSTMASTER GREENE
FILES ANOTHER REQUEST

eff the people of Worcester are to have
proper delivery service it IS absolutely
essential that we have more carriers, and
I propose to get them if such thing is
possible"
This was the remark of Postmaster ].
Evarts Greene yesterday afternoon after
reading a communication from the first
assistant postmaster general in which
his latest request was politely refused.
The letter went on to say that 1t would
be impossible to allow extra carriers this
year, as the appropriation was taxed to
the limit Other portions of the letter
seemed to indicate that Mr.. Greene had
been late in filing his requisition. How
ever this may be, Mr.. Greene proceeded
at once to correct such an impression,
and the next mail Washingtonward bore
another request of the Worcester post
master for two additional letter carriers.
The movement for more men began last
April when Mr.. Greene asked for six adj
ditional men. At the opening of the de-
partment year, July i, he was asked to
wait until October, and when he called
attention of the department to its promise
he was rewarded with an order to add
four men Nov l. This addition will not
satisfy Mr.. Greene, and he has made an
other bid for additional help.

Catch-AS- CatCh-Can Match
Boston Man Throws Mud

A catch-as-catch-can match with NJ. J.
Dwyer Of Hartford will be Hjalmar Lun-
dins next wrestling engagement. Lundin
plans to rest until about Nov. 10, and then
engage in a bout with the Hartford man
and former instructor of Pres. Roosevelt
Last night Lundin and his manager
Gustav Grell, left for New York. They
will return to this city Tuesday. On re-
Stunning training Lundin Will devote his
attention to catch-as-catch-can wrestling,
in which he has hopes of soon becoming
proficient to a degree that will make him
a formidable rival of the top-notchers.
B. H. Benton writing over the name
''Rob Roy in a Boston paper yesterday,
said: Professor Lundin is having har
vest of it in Worcester with his "dinky
wrestling matches. He has COPIED a lot
of stuff, and every match he has had up
there has been a job. That match with
Tom Jenkins on Thursday night was as
big a squeeze as could be given the pubic
Jenkins can throw Lundin ten times an
hour, but they gave the people run for
their money to warm them up for the
next job. Lundin and his people also in
clude in all their wrestling jobs a condi-
ton that the news of their matches be
kept from the Boston papers. When l tell
the Worcester people that Professor Lun-
din was employed for SIS per week as
Tom Jenkins wrestling partner they will
realize the hot goods that have been
Lundin stamps the assertion that he has
been employed by Jenkins as a wrestling
partner as a lie, and he offers to give $500
to any charitable institution in the coun-
try If Mr.. Benton will prove his state
ment Lundin also claims that Benton is
sore because the Swedish wrestler refused
to go on against Ernest Roeber for Sc
while the latter was showing in Boston,
and Benton had a hand in the game.
That Rob Roy" is unprincipled every
one connected with sporting affairs knows
That the limit Of his contemplate act
has never been reached most people who
have been unfortunate enough to know
him are aware. But when Mr.. Benton at
tempts to get back at Lundin he hits a
blow at the sport in Worcester. There
has been no sign of a fake about any Of
the matches pulled off during the past
few months in Worcester, and if there
had been The Spy would have done its
share to put the sport on an honest basis,
as 1t did when the Jackson-Jones tangle
was exposed.

NEW ENGINE HOUSE
SLOWLY CONSTRUCTED

If the new Beacon Street engine house
Is to be completed December l, according
to terms of the contract, it's up to some
body to do stunts in the way OF a hustle
residents in the neighborhood, and Incl
dentally members of the company at Bea-
con Street, are registering vigorous kicks
on account Of the delay. Superintendent
of Public Buildings Charles H. Peck and
Architect Clemence have kept after the
contractor continually, but with little
avail thus far
The contractor claims that the DELAY re-
suits from inability to secure building
materials. and that from now on the
work of construction will be pushed. The
city has his bond providing that the build
ing be finished Dec. l, and there is a pos
sibility that some one may have to make
good for delay over the date mentioned in
the contract.
The Beacon Street companies are quar-
tered In a temporary wooden structure.
which is not the most comfortable in the
world at this season. If the weather con-
tinues cold the men and apparatus will
be removed to the Portland Street house
until such time as the new building is
ready for occupancy

FOUR PERSONS NEARLY
SUFF0CATED BY GAS

DR.. Louis Anger. his wife and two serv-
ants had a narrow escape from death by
asphyxiation Friday night In some I'M
accountable way gas escaped from the
furnace after the doctor had raked it
down for the night, and soon filled the
house with the deadly fumes. Luckily
the doctor had been out on a late call,
and sat down to read his paper upon his
return home. About 2 o'clock he started
for bed, but was unable to leave the chair.
He managed at last to get to his feet, but
fell to the floor overcome. He realized
his plight and that of the others in the
house. and by superhuman effort
reached the window and summoned as
sistance The doctors resouer proved to
be an employe of the Consolidated Street
Railway Company. He opened all the
windows and allowed the fresh air to
drive out the foul vapors. Drs. Daudelin
and Grandpre were summoned and treat
ed Dr. Auger's wife, who was unconscious
from the fumes.

Owners of Proprietary Remedies
Disappointed in the Report Of
the Supreme Court in GarSt VS..
Hall & Lyon Company
RATES MAY BE CUT WHEN
IOBBERS SUPPLY GOODS
Counsel For Defendant Says the
Decision is of Such a Nature
That Nothing Can be Done to
Prevent Price Cutting-Retall-
erS Are Disappointed
erS Are DISAPPOINTED

The decision of the Supreme Court In
the case of Julius Garst VS.. Hall & Lyon
Company is a hard blow to owners of
proprietary remedies, who have been
engaged in a long struggle to prevent
their sale at cut rates. The decision is
doubly disappointing, following as 1t
does upon the heels of an earlier de-
cision in Garst VS.. Harris, in which the
right of the owner to prevent rate cut
ting, when contract existed seemed to
be thoroughly established.
The decision in the present case Is
that the contract against cutting rates
does not follow the goods in such a way
as to effect the rights Of purchasers
who secure their goods from vendees
of the company.
In the case of Hall & Lyon the goods
were procured of jobbers who were not
the agents of DR.. Garst.
Thayer & Cobb were for the plaintiff
and Charles T. Tatman for the defen-
dants. Mr.. Thayer said yesterday af-
ternoon, that the matter was by nc
means ended, but that other measures
to protect the plaintiff would be taken.
The bill in which the court was asked
to enjoin the defendants from cutting
the price on phenyo caffein was made
exceedingly broad so that it might be
of general application.
Mr. Tatman said the decision was Of
such a nature that it did ont seem
likely that anything could be done to
prevent price cutting hereafter. 1t will
only be necessary for the purchaser to
obtain his goods of jobber or other
person who is not an agent Of the COM
pany.
Druggists as a class are keenly dis
appointed in the decision. A great ma
jority of the dealers are opposed to rate
cutting and have been inclined to do
business with concerns that would
agree to protect their articles from be-
ing sold below the established rate.

SUMMER STREET FIRE
CAUSED $500 DAMAGE

Fire broke out in the garrett of the
three tenement house at As Summer Street
yesterday forenoon, and for time gave
the department something to think about
The fire was discovered at $50 O'Clock by
J. F. Kingsley, who sounded the alarm
from box Al, at the corner of Summer and
Thomas Streets. A few well directed
streams of water subdued the flames.
The entire damage will be $500, mostly
caused by water
The house is the property of Martin
Trulson, proprietor of Hotel Du Nord, and
is occupied by Dominick Travers in the
upper apartment Patrick Gilligan and
William Gallagher in the two lower tene-
ments Travers suffered most from the
fire and water. while the other two ten
ants loss will be confined to the water.

SCHOOLH0USE is TOO
NEARTHE SAL DON

Charles T. Tatman has been retained
to represent a section of the people of
Clinton who have been trying for
some time to get rid of a schoolhouse
that is situated within 400 feet of a
saloon. An interesting point of law is
to be tried out, to wit: Whether the
location of a building can be changed
by changing the location of a gate in
the fence surrounding it. In the pres
ent instance the building fronts upon
South Main Street, but it is reached
by gate through the fence on Sum
nit Street. The Clinton authorities
claim that the school is therefore on
Summit Street.

SAVANNAH WANTS IT AGAIN.

The Times Recorder endorses the
following sensible business editoria
from the Augusta Chronicles:
cit is stated that the Savannah Fair
assocition will apply to the Agricul-
tural society for the privilege of hold
ing the State Fair q second time. It
has not been q financial success, but
the experiment Is declared to have been
satisfactory in every other particular
1t is very difficult to have financially
remunerative exposition which is under
taken de novo, where the site has to
be procured, the grounds arranged, the
buildings erected, the race course made
and everything prepared from the
ground up. When a city undertakes
this large expense and establishes the
exposition plant it is only just that a
second fair should be granted to enable
them to get even. With the plant al
ready provided and the benefit of the
first years experience, second fair
would give the Savannah Fair associa-
ton good chance to even up matters.
We are ready TO vote that Savannah
shall have the fair again in 1902, or GER
tainly in 1908 if the Agricultural So
ciety thinks it important that it should
&c to part of the state next
