Mail Delivery.

Postmaster Edwin Price yesterday re.
ceived the report on the examinations
held here under the civil service rules tc
supply this city with letter carriers and
postal clerks.
He received at the same time letters oi
instruction commanding to begin the
free delivery OF mail in this city on Mon.
day, December End All the carriers
who received notification that they had
successfully passed the examination and
obtained an apt ointment were ordered
to report for duty to Postmaster Price
on next Monday.
e. B. Wilson, at present clerk in the
postoffice, passed flrst in the class and
was entitled to carriership, but he took
q position as 'clerk in the Office
The three carriers arc Edward w.
Cotes, Edgar A. Rider and 8. T. Egeness
The substitute is Paul W. Heinrich, now
an employe OF the News in This city.
Postmaster Price is inclined to think
that some mistake has been made in the
matter, as he was fret informed that the
new delivery would not commence until
February 1st. There has not been re-
ceived at the postoflce any paraphernal-
ia for the new carriers and work will
have to be pushed to be ready at the
time at which the postoffice department
desires the service commenced.
Parties must direct their correspond
ents to address their mail to house num-
Der and street if they desire their mail
delivered. Otherwise, those having no
boxes, their mail will go into the general
delivery as heretofore, and this will cause
delay in delivery.
Postmaster Price is very desirous that
patrons Of the Office make their address
rs plain to their correspondents, as this
will facilitate the work greatly
