CHANGES AT PoSToFFIcE. Three Promotions Made as Result of instructions From Washington.

An important change in the lineup of the local postoffice employees went into effect yesterday upon receipt of instructions from the postal authori- ties in Wash ington. Under these in structions two new positions are cre- ated-that of superintendent of mails and the other of superintendent of city delivery.
 ing clerk for several years, was pro- noted to the position of superintendent of mails, while Charles L. Stapleton, who has served in the capacity of superintendent of carriers for long time was promoted to the position of superintendent of city delivery, The place formerly held by MT. Stapleton as superintendent of carriers will be taken by Martin l.. Davidson, who has been in the service for a long term. Mr. Harris successor has not yet been named.
 These changes have been under con temptation for some time, and Messrs. Harris, Stapleton and Davidson were slated for them at the first. The friends of all three gentlemen are coa- graduating them upon their promo- tions, while Postmaster Carter Is con- graduating himself upon the fact that with this new arrangement he will very probably be able to make even better record than his office is now doing.
