1t certainly looks as though there is
something doing relative to the post
master plum of the Wilmington post
office, but just who is going to be
done is a matter of future develop
ment, though, of course, speculation is
permissible.
A special in yesterdays Raleigh Post
says:
Washington, June 26.-There is every
indication that Wilmington will have a
new postmaster. he term OF office Of
the present postmaster. Miss NJ. c. OAR
by, will Don expire, and it is generally
believed that a working republic IN will
receive the desirable plum, which is
practically the only one left to be dis
tributed during the present adminiStTa-
ton.
There is on file in the postoffice de-
partment a report alleging that O.. Z.
French, who until the date of til. rev.
olution in Wilmington was a republic
can there, shares to a certain extent
in the salary drawn by the present
pOStmistresS. French afterwards lived
in exile near Wilmington. This charge
is one of the considerations upon which
a change in postmaSters is urged, Tut
the most potent argument advanced by
republicans is that the office is one OF
the most important in the state and
that, according to all party practice,
it should be given to a worker in he
republican organization who can &C
complish something for the party. II
is urged that Miss Darby was appoint
ed out of compliment to Ex-Governor
Russell n other political friends, and
that, having served a term Of -four
years. this political debt is paid. VIZ
her term of office nearing an END strong
influences are at work to secure the
appointment of an organization repub-
lican and there are many evidences
that the fight will be successful.
SO far as can be learned Tom Wal
lace. the present assistant postmaster
is the man upon whom the opposition
is centering its energies. Influential
state republicans are backing .lim fol-
appointment in addition to the 'oca
organization n business men irr Will
mington. 1t is known also tina he has
several influential friends here ir
Washington who are taking an inter
est in the Wilmington p~ostoffice fight
A we'll known republican from the
state is authority for the statement
that Miss Darby will not be reappoint-
ed and the information comes from the
same ource that an organization re.
publican will be selected.

"cabby'' horses stationed in front of the
Auditorium Annex hotel on the opposite
side of the street His friendship is re-

thereby hangs a tale of how United

night before last.
Senator Fairbanks, anxious to catch a
train for Indianapolis, rushed out of the
Annex entrance about $50 o'clock on
Tuesday evening and looked about for the
carriage he had engaged to take him to
the station. He scanned the line of car
riageS, but the one he had engaged was
not to be seen among them. Then the
senator glanced across the road and saw
as picturesque a sight of city life as NAV
be imagined
The carriage was standing in front of
the theater, and almost beneath the feet
of the horse was legless Joe" patting the
animal and talking to it. And he was
doing something also which the senator
did not see until he crossed the street.

IS PROBABLY FATALLY
INJURED BY A FALL
Driver Has Ribs Broken and Lungs
Ruptured.

N. P. Christianson, driver for the ].
S. Johnson Transfer company, was
probably fatally injured yesterday aft
ernoon by falling from his wagon at
the corner of Chicago avenue and
South Wabasha street.
Suffering from rupture of the lungs,
causing constant hemorrhages and eff
fusion of air, due to the fractured ribs,
Christianson lived through the night
DR.. V. J. Hawkins, who is in attend
ance, said last night after midnight
that recovery is improbable, though not
impossible.
Christianson met with the accident
while on his wagon yesterday after
noon. He had mounted to his seat and
reached for the reins, which had been
placed upon the horses back, when the
animal suddenly started, throwing him
to the ground. Christianson fell on his
back in such a manner as to sustain
the injuries which will probably result
in his death. He was taken to his
home, 145 West Winifred street, in the
police ambulance. He is forty-six years
old and has. resided in St Paul for
many years.

FAMILY OF NEGLECTED
CHILDREN ARRESTED
Had Been Supplying Their Wants by
Taking Things From Neishbors.

Living together without father or
mother in a small two-room house at
1913 st. Anthony avenue, five children
have during the past three months been
caring for themselves without
guidance or direction The eldest of
the chilren, Arthur Johnson, aged sew
enteen, has been employed by paint
err and his income has partly betrayed
the expenses of the young family. Ben,
aged fifteen, has been employed in a
bowling alley Herman, aged seven, has
been going to school occasionally, and
Annie, fourteen, with Esther, aged nine,
have been the housekeepers.
Without parental care the children
have been living as they pleased, and
having no one to restrain them, have
been somewhat careless of the property
rights of others. Being often without
sufficient food and clothing they have
done what children under the circum-
stances naturally would do, and as a
result they are now all under arrest,
charged with larceny.
Neighbors recently began to miss
articles from about their homes, and
finally suspected the Johnson children
of having carried them off. Yesterday
a search warrant was secured and Of
ficers from the Rondo station examined
the home, where they found an array of
miscellaneous property. Clothing of all
descriptions was piled about in heaps,
and some Of the garments bore evidence
of having been altered. Various inn
plements also were found.
The children were all rounded up
last night and will be disposed of in
the police court this morning.
The father of the family is in North
Dakota, having left his children three
months ago. He kept an account for
them with a grocer, but otherwise left
them to provide for themselves The
mother died three years ago.
