"What is supposed to have oeep QUE
Of the most diabolical murders ever
committed occurred at three O'Clock
Thursday morning, when the home OF

son, aged 40 years; Julia Wicklngson'
aged 36 years.
Evidence secured points to murder.
The most important clews to work
mon are that William Wickingson
drew $500 from a local bank Wednes-
day and that q rig was heard on the
road near the Wickingson home
shortly before the fire was discovered.
In the search of the ruins Thursday
William Wickingson's body was found

THE S T SERVICE.
<or,. ~Irtere.tinr Extracts from the
Report Of the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-A total OF
2,37o presidential postmasters were
appointed last year, according to tne
annual report of ]. L. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general, issued
Wednesday. This is the largest num-
Der appointed in any one year IN n
history of the postal service. Inc IN
crease was due mainly to the explra-
ton of commissions during the year
and the advance of many fourth-class
offices to the presidential grade. Inc
total number of appointments OF post
masters of all classes was 1870, an
increase of 1913. There was a slight
increase in the number of
of postmasters "for cause" as a re-
suit of a. more strict discipline 20
carelessness and irregularities. Ihere
were 3,o5ss post offices established ana
4,o59 discontinued, the: latter attriD-
utable mostly to the extension OF
rural free delivery service and, n
consolidation of post offices adjacent
to large presidential Offices. The
number of post offices in the United
States June 80, was 1924, of which
22O were first class, 1923 eco class,
3,4ss third class. and 71,193 fourth
class.
The report shows that burglaries
of post Offices and the robberies OF
mail boxes are on the increase. Ar
rests and convictions for all oHenses
have materially increased. There were
1,746 robberies of post offices, II rob-
berries of mail trains, ,16 of mail mes
sengers, star route carriers and wag-
ons, and 465 of letter boxes. OF the
total of 1,721 persons arrested for vio-
lating postal laws, 3O4 were connect
ed with the postal service, including
112 postmasters.
The administration of postal affairs
in Cuba is commended as economical
and efficient. The total of
the service in Cuba from the Begin
ming of the last fiscal year to May
10, when the island was turned over
to the new Cuban government, we're
$335,916, and the expenditures $372,s-

cal year, the revenues increased al.
most 10000, and the expenditures de-
creased over $4,000, the decrease in
the deficit being owe so per cent.

who buy spruce gum by the quantity
say that it has gone up from 80 to 7Ea

is the cause. Prior to the time when

having retained large tracts Of forest

Ocean records are achieved at an
enormous cost. An English engineer
has figured that the Campania of 5000
tons burden, uses $4,000 horsepower
to make % knots an hour; while the
24-knot ship would have to be much
larger and to develop $4,000 horse
power. This enormous horsepower
would require greatly increased coal
consumption and an engine and coal
space which would reduce the freight
carrying capacity to a minimum.
