The Postal Deficit.

A defcit OF not far from 100000 ap-
pears In the accounts OF the postal SER
vice for the fiscal year ended June 30 last.
The receipts OF the service, as disclosed
by the books OF Auditor Castle, amount

to Sl15. 55i. 93DS7, leaving a net deficit, in
cluding losses by fire. etc, OF $3,9sl, ,52O.I.

free rural delivery and other augmented
appropriations in every department. re-
suited In an increase of s., 10000 az COM
pared with the expenditures for the pre-
ceding year, but the receipts were over
So, 900 in excess OF those for the pre-
ceding year, so that the deficit was less
than In the fiscal year preceding.
This decrease I'm the deficits has been
feature OF the balance sheets of the pos
tai department during the last few years.
For example, the deficit amounted In 1897
Co 81, 500 O00 ia 1898 TO $1,000 900, in 1895 10
S6,500 900 and I'm 1900 10 less than $4,00OOOO.
Large extensions OF the postal service
have Increased the expenditures by S2l-
100000, or 22 per cent; the revenues have
increased BY SO. 10000. or 30 per cent,
during the same period. A continuance
OF this rate OF decrease would result In
the wiping out OF the deficit within the
next three years.
The momcntary transactions OF the de-
partment including receipts and expend-
itures ana money orders issued and paid,
amounted 10 SS03, ,359 1861. which repre-
sented an increase OF nearly $50, 600, as
compared with the preceding fiscal year.
The aggregate amount OF money orders
issued during the year amounted to s294,-

NaTragansett Park to Be Improved for
ALL Kinds Of Sports Matinee
Races Tomorrow.

The famous mile racing track at Narra-
snnsett park in cranston was sold yes
terday under the hammer to Frederick H.
Perkins for $4,000. $500 above the mort
gage.
The auction sale terminates what has
been sort OF ENHANCEMENT of business
AFFAIRS between the Rhode Island state
fair association, which has held the
fairs, and the Narragsnsett park associa-
tion, which has given the grand circuit
horse races.
Mr. Perkins was an active member of
the former organization, and kept IL
alive for some years and he is president
OF the latter. When by virtue of the
mortgages he became the practical owner
OF the property he acquired a third de-
gree OF interest on his own personal ac-
count.
Since the state fair association has been
unable after several attempts of late, TO
revive the interest necessary to continue
rhe fair the sale was necessary to sim
plify matters.
The park VIII be improved and VIII be
continued as a local institution, with an
enlarged scope, devoted to a high class of

races, and next year will probably see
more excitement on the historic grounds

"Empllss" on the Suburban
Road Crashed Together, but
No One Was Hurt.

Two electrics. on the Warwick and Oak
land Beach division Of the Rhode Island
Suburban railway company came into
collision this morning.
The scene of the collision was In the
deep cut south of the Old Warwick sta
ton, where the serious smash-up of two
years ago occurred and which was almost
duplicated in every particular and at the
same spot one week later
Today two "emptes" were sent down
the road to bring up to town the early
"trippers."
one OF these cars was TO stop at Oak
land Beach: the other was to proceed to
Buttonwoods.
They were scheduled to run eight min
utes apart. and under ordinary circuni-
stances that would have been absolutely
safe.

trolley on the first car broke

the mile circuit has the reputation OF
leading it's class. The Grand Circuit races
will be augmented 10 other meets, and
IL is now expected that half-mile cir

ford, Springfield and Worcester, insuring
a series of meetings that will develop
strong local interest and afford good
sport to lovers of light harness racing.
Automobile races are a coming sport
az the great success OF the recent meet
ing proved. and they will receive their
share OF attention. since Mr.. Perkins Is
a member OF the Rhode Island Automo-
bile club, which is the first organization

Automobile club of America, which
claims Jurisdiction over all. There is ev-
cry opportunity To develop the property

troll the race meets and they promise an

surate with the name and associations Of

Work.

For the past few weeks thieves
have held high carnival in this city
despite the efforts of the local police
to apprehend them. The latest vic
tim of the nefarous traffic of the rob-
bers is Freeley Myers, whose house on
the corner of Third and Superior
streets was entered some time last
week and everything in the way of
curtains. bricabrac and other fixtures
easily moved, carted away. Owing to
the fact none of the family have been
around tine premises for several days
past, the theft was unknown until yes
terday, when Mr.. Myers came to town
from his farm home near Calhoun.
The thieves first climbed onto the
porch on the west side of the house
and then forced one of the windows
on the second floor. Descending by
the way of the stairs they proceeded
to pack up everything in sight.
Among other articles of value taken
were S pairs lace curtains, 3 pairs
chenille curtains, plush cover for pi-
sno and numerous other articles of
value.
