Mailing Desk for Christmas Shoppers.
 For the convenience Of the public during the Christmas shopping rush, the GambIe-Desmond company has es- tablished a mailing desk in the most accessible part Of their store, where people can mail packages. There will be some one in charge constantly to weigh, put stamps on and address all matter intended for the mail, whether bought in the store or not.
 This department is right at the ele- vator in the west store.
 There is convenient desk there where one can also write note and have it mailed if in too much haste to go up into the regular waiting room. All matter entrusted to this depart ment at the Gamble-Desmond com pany's store, will be most carefully handled.
 A sign marked with a regular mail ing box designates the spot and already hundreds have taken advantage of the convenience.
 It is always customary at this store to give careful attention to packages that are to go by express but caring for the smaller things that are to go by mail. and mailing notes and letters especially at this time when the post office is crowded, is a great accommo- ddtion.

ADDITIONAL CAR BARNS

Decided Upon by Directors of Fair Ha-
 ven and Westville Railroad Com
 pany.
 At a meeting of the board of directors of the Fair Haven and Westville Rail- road company yesterday afternoon plans submitted for the erection of ad- ditional car barns. i1ecessitated by the growing condition, were thoroughly dis cussed and practically decided upon. The new structure will be modern and up to date in all respects and as nearly fireproof as can be made, and will af- ford much needed room for the accom- modation of the equipment and increas- ing rolling stock of the company. The work, when completed, will cost prob ably not much less than $1OO,000, but it is one of the necessities incident to the largely increasing business. The new building will connect with the present car barns and run through to Clay street.

Another twenty-four hours of intense cold

ton. as far as sailing vessels are con-
cerned. Ice two inches thick formed over
the river channel lost night and on the
flats where the broken Ice was blown and
packed yesterday 1t Is two and three feet
thick. The ferry steamers and the Norfolk
line broke open the channel early this
morning, and the westerly winds have piled
and gorged the ice on the eastern side
At Fort Washington. it is reported, the
ice is gorged two and three feet deep, and
the steamer Estelle Randall. which carries
the mail to the fort. had some trouble fore
ing her way into the wharf yesterday. So
heavy is the ice at this point that the
launch Crosby. the tender at the fort has
been forced to tie up.
Heavy ice Is also reported in all the creeks
along the river and the steamers will have
trouble to make their usual landings. The
docks and the tidal basin are covered with
two or three inches Of hard ice and today
there have been some few skaters upon it
BY tomorrow. If the cold weat Their continues
1t should be hard and thick enough TO,
good skating.
