Washington's last horse-dra,fp mail

WashingtOns last horse drawn mail
wagon, which operates in Woodbridge
and vicinity, has been overtaken by
the march of progress and will Off
ciatly pass out of service tomorrow
afternoon at lis o'clock, when a Gov
ernment-owned Ford delivery truck
will be formally installed at the
Woodbridge station, Rhode Island and
Mills avenues northeast, it. was an
nOunced at the office OF City PoStmaS-
ter Mooney yesterday.
The passing of the old wagon, which
has been driven for years by William
S. Crawford and drawn by an old bay
mare, will not be without incident, for
linked with 1t Is both interest and
sentiment. Accordingly, Postmaster
Mooney expects to be present at the
Woodbridge station when the wagon
makes It's exit, and he will have a pic
ture taken of it TO be kept in his Or
flee.
When told of the change to be made
from the horse-drawn wagon to a mo
tor vehicle, Mr.. Crawford. who has
been on the route for about 25 years,
Immediately thought of Fannie" his
horse. Explaining that the old mare
had served him faithfully for more
than five years, he declared that he
thought as much of Fannie as he
did his right arm" and expressed "a
desire that Fannie" might be taken
care of on some farm where she might
, rest for the rest of her life.
Mr.. Crawford has been in charge of
the wagon since IL was installed on the
route about IS years ago. He is 63 years
old, has been in the employ Of the
City Post Office since 1882, and has
served on the route in Woodbridge and
vicinity nearly IS years, having car
ried mail on horseback before deliv-
ering from the wagon.
Mr.. Crawford was present at the
time of the assassination of President
Garfield. He was carrying d satchel
for Mr.. Garfield in the old Baltimore
and Potomac Railway Station. He
was walking a short distance in front
of the President when Guiteau fired
the fatal shot.
Mr.. Crawford was incapacitated for
several months six years ago when
his wagon was hit by street car
