The Postal Frauds.

Washington, June 6-The investi
cation made ty Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow OF the
affairs of the free delivery division
formerly conducted by Supt. Machen
who was summarily dismissed and
arrested on charge of bribery just
week ago, has resulted in the dis
covery that In order to restore the
service to a proper state it will be
necessary to abolish one-third Of
the rual free delivery routes now in
operation In the southern States and
about one. fifth of those established
in the northern States. The investi-
cation shows that routes have been
established without any possible ex-
cuse save as a matter of favor to
members OF Congress, and that money
appropriated by Congress for this
purpose has been expended with al
most criminal extravaganza. On
many of these routes the receipts do
not vsrage $5 a month and-on
Others the receipts do not begin to
justify the existence OF the routes.
The southern States which will stuff
the m )st fro n the adjustment of
routes are South Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama.
In the north, Maine, Vermont, and
New Hampshire will be deprived of
about one-fifth OF the routes now in
operation.

venience of meeting at this time"

ing new to report, saying that all his

BLOODHOUSDS TRAIL MURDERER
Shoots Daughter and Another Woman.
Hides in Barn and Suicides
When Surrounded.

Henderson, by, March 6.-Allen
Melton, a well-to-do farmer, who on
Wednesday night fatally wounded his
daughter and shot Mrs. John Culver,
committed suicide yesterday in barn
when he found the building surround
ed by bloodhounds, which had been
sent in pursuit of him. Melton went
to the home of John Culver Wednes-
day night, where his step-daughter,
Mary Melton, 16 years old, was spend.
ing the night. Culver was away from
the house. Melton entered and see
ing his daughter drew a revolver and
fired two shots.
Mrs. Culver ran into the room and
Melton fired, the ball passing through
her lungs. Melton went to the home
of Dock Latta, two miles away, where
he remained all night. Early yester-
day morning he went home and blood
hounds trailed him to a barn. When
he heard them coming he swallowed
large amount of paris green and
then shot himself through the head
falling dead. II is said he tried to
hang his divorced wife, and it is be
lieved he returned to Union to kill his
wife. This is thought to be the rea
son he did not commit suicide when
he shot the girl
