ANOTHER DELIVERY WANTED.
Business Men Petition for a Noon
Mail-Postmaste Handicapped.

Postmaster J. II. Thomas has re-
ceived the following petition for a
MONDAY delivery of mail:
John II. Thomas. Postmaster, Car
bondale, Pa.
Dear Sir: We, the undersigned per-
sons of the business block on Salem
avenue, between Church street and
Terrace street. believing our business
of sufficient magnitude and import
ance to warrant the request, respect
fully petition that we may have, in
addition to the morning and night de-
liveries the noon delivery now accord
ed to the other business portions of the
city. Rev. j. +. Warner, presiding eld-
er of Honesdale district; Purple Under
taking company, Robert NJ. Vannan,
master plumber; Miss NJ. Cavanaugh,
dressmaking; Charles A. Kafka, COM
mercial traveller; Miss M. Harnden, for
Weston Mill company; Mrs. c. A. Wal
ter, boarding house; NJ. II. Sullivan,
shoe maker"
While Mr.. Thomas is anxious to do
everything in his power for the benefit
and convenience of the postoffice pa
irons, II will be impossible to grant this
request. Under penalty of suspension
mail carriers are forbidden to work
over eight hours per day and each car
rier in this city now has to cut one of
his deliveries short in order to keep
within the required time.
The only remedy for this condition is
for the city to adopt Mr.. Thomas sug-
gestion and number the houses and put
signs on the street corners. 1t would
be a matter of very little expense either
to the city or to the individuals, and
then, perhaps, the city could get one,
or, perhaps, two, additional carriers,
thus allowing more complete delivery
on the outskirts and more frequent de-
liveries in the central city. Mr.. Thomas
says that there is indeed some danger
that we may lose some of the carriers
we now have because of the imperfect
numbering of houses, designation of
streets and bad sidewalks. Shamokin
recently lost ali its carriers for these
reasons.
Mr. Thomas has proved that he is
ready to help the people get better fa-
cilities, for only a few months ago he
had an inspector here endeavoring to
get more carriers, but he says there is
no hope for better service until the
people make up their minds to abide
by the departments instructions.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
William Moran Caught Between Two
Massive Timbers.

William Moran, a young married
man, living on Dundaff street. VINO Is
held in the highest esteem throughout
the entire community. was fearfully
hurt yesterday while engaged at his
work near the Lookout. Moran Is en-
gagged with other mine department car
penters at some work there. and yes
terday afternoon was assisting In the
unloading of a carload OF heavy tim
Der. The side sticks were out of the
sockets on the side of the car from
which the sticks were being unloaded.
Moran was on the opposite side of the
car. where the sticks of lumber were
several rows high. but were supported
by heavy side sticks similar to those
which had been removed from the
other side Of the car. The men had
just thrown off heavy timber, when.
without warning. the side sticks
snapped off from the heavy strain
which was against them. a number
of the timbers rolled off. Moran was
thrown TO the ground and two of the
heavy timbers received such momen-
tum that they rolled completely over
him. His fellow-workmer rushed to
his assistance. and so badly was he

dead fIis head was badly cut and one
arm was mashed almost to pulp. His
body and legs were also much lacer-
atcd and bruised. The workmen made
him as comfortable as possible and an
ambulance was secured hastily. Moran
was taken Immediately to Emergency
hospital. where consultation of sur
geons was held They decided to am
putate the arm which was the more
injured, and this was done last night.
1t was thought at first that trephinng
would be necessary, but on investi-
cation 1t was found that the skull was
not cracked, although the mans head
was terribly hurt. Mr.. Moran's con-
dtion is very critical and there is a
possibility of his not recovering. Mr.
Moran lives on Dundaff street, just
above the Fallbrook street crossing,
and Is a young man of the most eX-
emplary character He is prominent
among fraternaI society men and is
widely known throughout the city.
The news of the sad mishap was re-
ceived with general regret, and every
where are heard hearty wishes that he
may rally from the shock and eventu-
ally fully recover.
