POST OFFICES AS
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Finly Gray to End Patronage
Troubles Without Any
Delay.

Hen Finly H. Gray, the Democratic
representative in congress from the
Sixth district, who was in New Castle
Monday putting the applicants for the
post office job in this city on record
as anti-soreheads in case of disappoint-
ment. returned to his home in Con-
nersville in the evening, says the New
Castle Courier.
Il expect to announce the list of per-
sons whom l will recommend for post
office appointments within the next
few weeks" said Congressman Gray
Monday night. 81 do not see the ad-
visibility of delaying the matter and
will take the first opportunity to make
the selections. l expect to make the
announcements before return to
Washington for the next session OF
congress"
Mr.. Gray stated that he did not ex.
pect to go to Washington before the
first of the coming year. The condi.
ton of his health makes it imperative
for him to take long rest. The last
session of congress, the longest in the
history of the republic, was hard on
his physical condition. At the coming
session little will be done until the be-
ginning of the new year. Congress will
adjourn soon after convening for the
Christmas vacation.
81 am going to take the responsible
ty of making the post office recon-
mendations on myself said the con-
gresham, referring again to that im-
portant question. 'It is for me to do 1t
and l believe that the task can be &C
com plished in a satisfactory manner
1t has been suggested that an election
be held, but fail to see the reason for
it. There is no law covering the cleo
ton question"
The Rushville Jacksonian says that
Congressman Gray was there yester-
day afternoon and met the would-be
postmasters as he did at New Castle
"and others" Among those who met
with Mr.. Gray were G. P. Hunt, Will
Newbold, Mark Purcell, James Cas-
ady, Mayor B. A. Black, Sherman
ONeal, w. E. Wallace, Charles Mar
kle, John D. Mcgee and John E. Grant.
The Jacksonian says: Most of the
candidates signed the paper and some
refused on the ground that they now
had business and while they would
give the proper amount of work to
the office they could not give up their
business

was composed of two engines, a postal
car, combination baggage car and a
smoker, one day coach and nine sleep

first engine jumped the track, from
what cause has not yet been learned.

. A broken rail is believed to have
been the cause of the catastrophe. The

rode the ties for short distance. The
weight of the locomotive tore through
the bridge ties and the heavy train was
swept to either side of the second en-

when the wreck occurred, which added
to the suffering of the injured. Great
difficulty was experienced in remov.

G. & 0. Officials Say that a
Much Better Schedule Will
Be Arranged Within the
Next Few Days.
EVERYBODY ALONG
ROUTE INDIGNANT
Taking Off of Two Trains
Has Injured Business
Secretary of Commercial
Club Took Matter Up.

AS the result of large number of
complaints coming from local mer-
chants, residents of Economy, Los
antsville and Medford on the north
and Boston and Cottage Grove on the
south over the change of schedule put
into effect last week by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, Charles Jor
dan, secretary of the Commercial club
has taken steps to better the situation.
Mr.. Jordan stated today that beyond a
doubt better schedule will be given
within few days.
Mr.. Jordan first conferred with Mr.
Charles Blair, local agent. Mr.. Blair
made trip to Cincinnati and conferr-
ed with the officials of the company
in that city. Upon his return he an
nounced that he believed that within a
very short time another train will be
put on.
Residents Up in Arms.
Everywhere along the c. & o. line
near Richmond the people and busi-
ness men are indignant They declare
that the action Of the railroad has in
jured their business. Residents of Ec-
onomy are especially up in arms about
the matter. But one train runs to Econ
omy from here and local people going
to town are obliged to remain until
the next morning before they can re-
turn.
The reason given by the officials of
the road for the taking off of the two
trains is that they are not money-get-
ters. The officials assert that expen-
ses of running the trains are barely
covered BY the receipts. - ss''ss Il
Complaints after complaints have
reached me as representative Of the
Richmond Commercial Club about this
matter" said Mr. Jordan today. "It
was very bad move for the company
to take the two trains off. However I
short time another train will be put
on"
Merchants Protested.
Considerable business will be kept
out of this city, local merchants say,
by the action Of the road. Merchants
declare that persons residing in the
small towns both north and south
along the Chesapeake and Ohio route
are unable to get into Richmond and
return without spending the entire
day here.
Sheriff Steen, who by virtue of his
office is obliged to visit Economy sew
eral times each month serving sum-
mons and subpoenas states that the
change of schedule has already been
noticed in his work.
4 am forced to go to Economy in
the evening, serve summons at night
and remain there until the next morn
ing" the sheriff said. IF l don't do
this then l must go to Greensboro, Ha-
gerstown on the Pennsylvania and

o'clock this morning. His right hand
