ests in the event OF a clash between
Bulgaria and Turkey, but, in reality.

BIG POSTAL DEFICIT
RECEIPTS FOR FISCAL YEAR
ENDING JUNE 80, siel, 47e. eaa.
LARGEST DEFICIT IN HISTORY
Due to Advance In Pay of Employees
and Lower Per Cent In
Increase of Income.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 13.-Posf'
master General Meyer announced
that the postal deficit for the fiscal
year. ended June 30, 1908, amounted
TO $16.910.27s. The receipts were
3l9l 1853 tbeing $7.Ss5.657 greater
than the previous year, and the ex'
pendi.&res s2os.35l.ss6. The deficit
is the largest in the history OF the
postofi. department. An analysis OF
the figures shows that $3.Ss1. 81 rep
resents The advance in the rate OF
compensation authorized by congress
for employees Of the railway mail ser
vice, rural delivery service, city de-
livery service, and assistant postmas-
tiers and clerks in postofices. The
normal increase in the revenue for
several yeas was about per cent,
and in 1908 4.29 per cent, the falling
OF in the rate of growth being due
to the I'm ,ncial depression. The
postmaster general said in his annual
report he would call the attention OF
congress to the faH that he Is
firmly convinced that the establish
ment of a special local parcel pest
confined to rural routes Would tend
TO wipe out he postal deficit anc
would finally make the rural delivery

GOTHAM POSTMASTER SHOT.
Wounded by Eccentric stenosrapher,
Who Then Commits Suicide.

New York.-Edward NJ. Morgan,
postmaster Of New York city, was
wounded in the abdomen Monday
morning by a bullet fired by E. H. B.
Mackay, an eccentric English stenog.
rapher, who then committed suicide.
Mr.. Morgan was resting we'll at
night and unless complications de-
velop he will recover.
Mr.. Morgan probably owes his life
to the quick wit and bravery OF his
14-year-old daughter Dorothy. who saw
Mackay draw his revolver and struck
it with her hand. This DETECTED the
bullet, otherwise the postmaster would
have been fatally wounded. for his as
sailant was at close range and fired
four shots in all. The shooting &C.
CURED at One Hundred and Forty.
sixth street and only short distance
from Mr.. Morgan's home. He was on
his way downtown at the time.
An investigation of the life and rec
ord of Mackay reveals that he was
of q morbid natuse and former in
mate of an asylum in Worcester Mass.
That his act was premeditated is made
certain by a letter he left, but aside
from a fancied grievance against Mr..
Morgan and the post Office authorities
concerning the handling of his mail,
nothing has come to light to indicate
why he should have sought to murder
the postmaster. His clothing when
searched gave up between thirty and
forty smokeless cartridges, heavy
slungshot, knife with a four-inch
blade and a clasp knife.

ELEVEN PERISH IN WRECK
TERRIBLE COLLISION OCCURS
NEAR NEW oRLEANS.
Locomotive Of Express Crashes Into
Coaches Of Local Train-Many
Persons Are Hurt.

New Orieans.-It was heavy price
in human flesh and blood that psJd for
the errors OF railroad trainmen when
q Great Northern express crashed into
the rear OF a New Orleans & North.
eastern local, shortly before nine
o'clock Wednesday morning at Little
Woods station, fishing and hunting
camp on Lake Ponchartrain II miles
from this city. Eleven persons were
killed and many more injured, some
of them fatally. ,-. -.r
The wreck was attended by unusual.
ly gruesome scenes in the fog-bound
swamps of the lake shore. To add to
the horror of the situation. the debris
caught fire and only the heroic work
of the surviving passengers prevented
the cremation of those pinned down
in the debris.
The following killed have been
Identified: C. A. Crawford, Seminary,
Miss; William Attaway, three years
old, Slidell, La; c. B. Lowry, southern
representative of American Creosote
works; William A. Martin, Slidell, La. !;
J. H. Shows, Morriston, Miss; Ora
Travis, Hattiesburg, Miss; Augustus
Heitkampf, Pearl River, Miss; Prof.
c. E. Roos, New Orleans university.
When Engineer Blackman OF the
Great Northern train took the North.
eastern tracks at Slidell he says he
was given the usual right of way sig.
nal and proceeded to shove his train
toward New Orleans at 45mile an
hour clip. AS the station ct Little
Woods was approached, tie North.
eastern local suddenly doomed up
through the fog.
Engineer Blackman applied his
brakes and remained at the throttle
while the ponderous locomotive plowed
its way through the train ahead, leav-
ing behind 1t a trail Of corpses and in
jured passengers.
No one Of the Great Northern ex-
press was seriously hurt, but those
aboard the Northeastern local were
not SO fortunate.
Cheyenne, Wyo.-Nine men are
known to have lost their lives in the
collision of two Union Pacific freight
trains at Borie, Wyo.. and the fire
which broke out in the wreckage.

wArrERsoN's SON KILLED.
He Falls Nine Stories from an Office
Window.

New York. - Harvey w. Waiter.
son, lawyer and younger son
of Henry Watterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier-Jonrnal, plunged to
Lis death from the nineteenth floor of
his office building at 81 Wall street
late Wednesday afternoon. His body
shot downward for 10 feet and land
ed on the roof of ten-story building
adjoining. Almost every bone was
broken and the head crushed and death
was practically instantaneous.
While there were no eye-witnesses
to the tragedy. evidently it was en-
tirely accidental. Mr.. Watterson's hat
and overcoat were on his closed desk.
Presumably he had attempted to lower
the window, and either stumbling over
the radiator, which was in front Of the
low sill. or losing his footing in some
manner unknown, pitched forward and
down to death on the roof below.
Mr.. Watterson was 30 years old and
married. He was Junior member Of
the law firm Of Wing, Russell and
Watterson.
