of the day before.
There have been no new DEVELOPMENTS
in the search for the missing postma ster
He was traced to the center of the Chain
bridge and then back several miles along
the road to the Capital city, where the
trail was lost. The fact that Canada
dressed last Sunday morning in his old
est suit of clothes leads many to believe

state
Lieut.. Sutton of the harbor police went
to the vicinity of the Chain bridge in
the launch Maj. Sylvester and dragged
the river for several hours. In speaking
of the search Lieut.. Sutton commented

lating to transportation and the construc-
ton and maintenance of all public build

tation and public works, whose salary
shall be ST., 900 a year. and an assistant sec

reaus provided for is one to be called the

conjecture. A democratic primary in this
city is equivalent to an election.
