LID ON SUNDAY MAIL.

A "joker" in the Post Office APP
preparation bill as it passed Con-
gress aud was signed by the Presi-
dent in the last hours of Congress,
in the shape of an amendment, pro
vides that all first and second class
post offices, and also those Of small
Ter towns, shall be closed from u
O'Clock midnight every Saturday
until midnight Sunday. The amend
ment was inserted in the bill by Mr..
Mann of Illinois, Republican leader
in the House. The effect Of the pro.
vision If strictly enforced would pre-
vent any one getting his Sunday
mail, letters and daily papers, until
Monday morning. But Washington
dispatches say that Postmaster Gen
rral Hitchcock has placed Il liberal
construction on the prohibition, and
that holders of lock boxes will have
access to them as usual. Perhaps
those at this office who will be most
incOnvenienced are people who re-
ceiv" their Sunday dailies by mail,
but If they have lock boxes and the
mail Is distributed when IL comes
they may not be much inconveni-
enced. We can tell more about it
after little experience under the
new regulation.

HoUN' DOG SUIT RESULTS
IN CUTTING AFFRAY

JnO. Downs sued John Bay in the
Circuit Court last Tuesday for pos
session of hound dog, which he
claimed as his property. The jury
decided against Downs, and he was
very much wrought up over the
testimony Of Capt. Tom Bell of the
Federal Lead Company, which ia
v0red Bay. On Tuesday night about
8 O'Clock Capt. Bell stepped into a
saloon at Elvins, and without any
words Downs struck him over the
head with beer bottle, and then
whipped out his knife and com
menced to slash the Captain, cutting
him across the temple, splitting one
ear, making IA cash on the back Of
the neck and one or two cuts in the
side. Fortunately none of the cuts
were deep enough to prove very
serious. Downs was arrested
charged with assault with intent to
kill, and is now In jail, falling so
far to furnish $500 bond under
which he was placed.
