UNCLE SANS MAIL DELIVERY
REPORT OF SECOND ASSISTANT
POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Economic Suggestions and Import
ant recommendations in Mr..
Stewards Exhibit.

An cir of saving breathes throughout
the report of Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Stewart as we'll as a report
of numerous improvements in that
branch of the mail service which comes
under his jurisdiction. while there are
several important recommendations which
NAV lead to the further betterment of the
service.
AS result Of the Weighing of the
mails on the railroads in the southern
states the department saved $434. 1902,
which represents the difference between
the transportation pay computed under
the new plan directed by Postmaster Gen.
eral Meyer. whereby the whole number
of days of the weighing period were used
as the divisor for computing the average
daily weight for readjustmeent of COM
pensation BY this method 81, ,3IS was
saved in the third section alone.
By diverting mail to the shorter and
less expensive route when two or more
routes were available the department has
saved 81, 5000 in the second section and
$37 OS3.32 in the third section for the
four-year term the contracts ran.
During the year careful review was
had of the railway post office car service.
which resulted in the readjustment of
the car space on a number of routes, eff
fecting a still further saving of s272. 040.
The details leading up to this saving,
including the report of the postal COM
mission to consider the protests of the
railway companies. are given at length in
the report.

Second Trial Of whitmore For Wife
Murder.

New York, Oct. 27.--The second trial
Of Theodore Whitmore,; Brooklyn mo
torman on charge Of numbering hi'
wife and throwing her body into
Lampblack swamp on Christmas even
ing last year, was begun in Jersey City
yesterday Supreme Court Justice
Swayze presided and with him on the
bench was Judge Blair of the court
of common pleas.
The prisoner appeared to be in good
physical condition and showed no signs
of nervousness.
On the first trial the jury disagreed,
but this time the state thinks its case
is stronger.
Mrs. tetltia Carroll, who was ar
rt sted in Brooklyn recently is expected
Ia testify that she saw Whitmore and
lis wife leave their home together the
night before her death, and that he
returned alone the following day. The
prosecution contends that Whitmore
was infatuated with Georgia Diekin-
son aud that this FURNISHED the motive
for the crime Whitwore declares that
he did not see his wife on the night Of
the murder.
When the Jury had been sworn, AZ,
sistant Prosecutor Garyen opened the
case for the state, Mr.. Garven said the
prosecution would have TO depend en-
tirely upon circumstantial evidence.
