It 1s probable, however, that an arrangement will be made by" which the plates will be turned over to the District Commissioners for such disposition as is deemed best. THE MATRIMONIAL INSURANCE CRAZE.—The cor- Tespondence of the Post Offlce department develops the existence of a singular mania which has broken out in the south and west—a matrimonial insurance or lottery craze—in which the insurer guarantees any person against matrimony, unless it occurs within three months from the date of in- surance, given upon the principle apparently that “true love never runs smooth,” and that the chances are more than even that in less than three months any existing match will be broken off. A large number of postmusters have applied for ad- ditional clerks to handle their greatly increased business from this cause. The following trom a Postmaster of prominent southern city was re- celved to-day: “I beg to say this office is over- whelmed with business owing largely to the sin- gular development of matrimonial associations, as well as to the wonderful‘ development and growth of the city. The matrimonial cyize seems to have attacked all classes and conditions of men. My mailing foree, my distributors of mails, and others are worked to complete exhaustion. It, therefore, it be necessary longer to delay increased appro- plations for tis. office, please grant me at once emporary assistance, say at least five clerks.” UniTeD States Bonps held by the treasurer to secure national bank circulation, $362,001,350, as follows:—U. S. bonds held to secure public moneys in national bank depositaries, $16,416,000; U. S. bonds deposited to secure circulation during the Week, $34,901,150; U. 8. bonds to secure circulation withdrawn during the week, $34,726,900. Cororavo Pouitics.—The fight (inside of the Tepublican party) in Colorado has resulted in a substantial victory for Secretary Teller and the administration wing. Campbell, who was yester- aay nominated for ‘governor by a majority of 13 out of 311 votes, and Belford, who was renoml- nated for Congress by a large’ majority, were the candidates endorsed by Secretary Teller, as against Walcott for governor, and several aspir- ants for Congress, endorsed’ by Senator Hil Arthur Shepherd, Jos, Williams, Henry Himber, and others well-known In this city, were active In the faction that was defeated. “The convention adjourned in good humor; every one promising to aid in the success of the ticket.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXas, WITHOUT MAIIS.—A tele- gram was recelved by the acting Postmaster Gen- eral to-day, signed by the mayor, collector of cus- toms and others at Brownsville, Texas, stating that on account of the overflow of’ the Rid Grande “we have recelved no inward mall since September 1st, and our mails have been accumulating at Rio Grande City, Pena Station, Laredo and San Anto- nlo.

THE MOTHER TRAVELS IN A RID OF HER IN Last evening the proprictor of the’Mount Vernon house, Pennsylvania avenue, between 434 and 6th streets, notified the officers at police headquarters that an infant had been left at his house bya strange lady, and desired to know what could be done with it. He was asked to let it remain there until thts morning,when something would be done to relieve him. Mr. Weeden, of the police ambu- lance service, was sent up. to ascertain the facts and reported that the child would be taken care of; that a colored hack driver had left the woman there yesterday. He ascertained that the driver was John Aloysius, a well-known night liner. This morning a nurse employed at the Mount Vernon house took the baby to police headquarters, where it attracted considerable attention, 1t being a sprightly male child, some three weeks old, with Diack hair and eyes, and comfortably dressed, with a bundie of ‘extra clothing with it: The colored driver was sent for and gave his story tothe major and superintendent of police. He said that yesterday morning Jesse, the porter of the St. James hotel, went on the hack stand on 7th street and engaged him to go to the hotel to carry a woman to the Baltimore and Ohio depot with her trunk and baggage. He went as desired, and fonnd the young woman and her child; she wanted to go to St. Ann’s Infant Asylum at 24th and K streets, to which place he carried her, where she got out with her babe and went in the asylum, remaining there some fifteen minutes, and came out crying with the child. and stated to him that this was the wrong place, and said the place was on @ and 2th streets, where she found that the institution was an industrial sehool. The driver Stated to her that there was an asylum at 10th and G streets. She requested him ta drive her there. On arriving, she went in, leaving the child on the cushion of ‘the seat, and, after remaining a short Ume, returned weeping, ‘and said they would not receive her nor her child. The Matron calle] the driver to her, and explained that the woman was not a Catholic, and the place to take her would be to the Protestant Orphan Asylum, on 14th street, to which place he drove ‘her, The young woman went in there, and soon came out crying and sald she was directed to the Children’s Hospital on 13ch street, where he also took her, but the resuit was the same. She was Teptlsed’at all points and was yery much de- Jected, crying bitterly. She asked the driver if he aid not KnoW of some cheaper hotel than the St. James. He recommended her to the Mount Vernon House, to which place she directed him to take her. Before entering the hous, she sent him in to inquire the terms for lodgings, and finally took a room in the third story at 50 vents per day, She was shown to the room and her baggage put in it, and remained there, first getting the driver to chi trunk for Baltimore, where she proposed to go. He dtd not know when she left for that place, but on in- quiry at the depot this morning he found that her trank was gone. He describes her as young and quite good “looking, with dark hair “and eyes. She kept her face covered with a veil, as she had a black and blue spot across her nose beiow the eyes, spoke in a low soit voice, and appeared very Weak indeed, with hardly Strength enough to Walk, and was constantly crying. She told the matron at St. Ann’s asylum that her name was Anule something, the other part of which the inatron could not’ remember; that the father of her child was living, but she could not get any Support or reilef from him. This 3 all that is known of the case at present. ‘On iuauiry at the St. James hotel the clerk states that the woman went there on the 13th in- stant, giving er name as Mrs. J.C. Francis, of Balthnore, She had her babe with her and her trunk, and seemed to be a perfect lady. her room with her child until the 1 when she sent for acarriage and left, taking her things with her.
