THE YALE POsTOFFICE.

Proving a Great Convenience to People
 in the Western Part of the City.
 The new Yale postofice in Fayer- weather hall on Elm street, near High, is proving to be a great convenience at the present time to those residents at the western part of the citys who are sending Christmas gifts through the mails.
 The unavoidable delay caused by the great rush at the main postoffice has caused large number of people to take advantage of the facilities of the Yale postoffice, where the mails are be- ing made uo direct to the large cities and railroad postoffices.
 The fact that the office is on a thoroughfare and is fully equipped to transact all kinds of postal business has made it availa ble to the public, who have not heretofore made general use nf

charged with disorderly conduct on a
street car, was arraigned in the Police
Court in Washington yesterday and ac-
quilted by Judge Mills. According to
the testimony Brown boarded car on
the + street branch Of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company at
Ninth street, and when the conductor
asked for his fare he rendered ticket
issued by the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railway Company,
which was refused. A dispute arose
between Brown aud the conductor, re-
sulting 10 Brown being put of the car
Edward I. Niles, counsel for Brown.
took the ground that the ticket offered
by Brown was good on any street Car
line 10 the District of Columois that
the law required that the various COM
panies should accept each others
tickets for fare that the refusal OF the
conductor to take the one offered by
Brown was breach of the law and that
his election and arrest were illegal.
Judge Mills 10 summing up the case
said: "All railroads having an Office
In the city, such as the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon, the
Metropolitan, Tenleytown, aud the
suburban roads, which 60 beyond the
city limits, have right to issue ticket
over their route within the limits OF the
District OF Columbia. and this ticket
when issued is a legal ticket, and the
conductor of any other road is bound to
receive It."

MEETING OF THE FIRE WARDENs.-
The Board of Fire Wardens at q meet
leg last night 10 the HydTaulion engine
house, held an informal discussion con-
corning the condition. of the boil
or OF the Columbia engine. Mr..
p. F. German, boilermaker,
was present, and stated that he
believed that il the boiler OF the Column
bia was patched uD, it would hold
good for some months. After discussing
the matter OF length, the wardens de
cided to have the boiler tested again to-
day. IL is their intention, if possible, to
have Mr.. g. +. Thomas, master me-
chanio of the Southern Railway Com.
psny in this city. present to witness
the test. The wardens are of the opinion
that the Columbia needs q new boiler,
but in the meantime, il Ia said to be
their intention to patch up the old one
until negotiations for a new one are
completed, which, it Is said, will be at
an early date. The boiler 1t is alleged,
has been 10 bad shape for some time
past, and those in charge OF the engine
claim that in Its present condition 1t ia
unsafe.
A further test OF the boiler was made
this morning, after which a meeting Of
the wardens was held when it was de-
termined 10 make some suitable altera-
tions in the engine William A. Smoot

shall have been made to the Columbia

S versl days. Heretofore but little in
terest has been shown 10 the choosing of
members OF the city committee. but on
this occasion considerable importance
seams 10 be attached 70 their selection.
o. course The rscs for Delegate to Rich
mOnd hAs ever been sDiriied and the
contest DOW raging is nothing outside OF
the normal. There seems to be an evil
dent thirst for office 10 Alexandria, and
complimentary positions in late wears
which formerly sought the men are
now as eagerly beckoned to ss If there
were millions in them. This has been
specially marked OF late. We have had
contests recently for school trustees,
members Of the board of health, COM
mittee craftsmanship heretofore avoided
by many. and now there are number
OF entries for the unremunerstive and
troublesome positions of committeeman.
Members OF this body invariably incur
the displessure of numbers. especially
defeated candidates, no matter how
conscientiously they may act. 1t Is
hoped that the election tomorrow will be
devoid OF anything unseemly, and that
nothing will be done to add any more
bitter blood to the existing order of
things. The factions which have so
long been at variance should by this
time bury resentments and unite in
efforts to enhance the interests Of the
party they represent, 80 that by next
fall their political enemies may ex-
perience what they often have before

CITY's FINANCES -One can form
q correct idea of Alexsndris's financial
condition by comparing the rate at
which her bonds now sell, when they
are to be had. with what they were
quoted &C twenly-oDe years ago. AT
that date bonds OF the issue oil 1872 besr-
ing six per cent. interest sold at from
45 to 55 cents, the coupons selling at
from So to 65 cents. These bonds sre
now and have been for some time back
quoted above par. Twenty years ago
the 1879 issue were purchased, if pur.
chased at all. for fifty cents. Several
times of late they have brous ht ninety
eight aud ninety.nine cents, and the
one hundred bonds find sale at par.
An illustration of our credit was shown
last week when Treasurer Robinson
paid q resident OF Baltimore the inter-
est due on these bonds from January,
1889, to July l, 1901, thirteen years and
six months Interest. Iodeed it Ia no
unusual occurrence for holders to allow
interest to accumulate, considering Al
exandris's coupons ss safe as Uncle
SANS money or the banks.
