Elliott, a bank president and a wealthy contractor of r county, sat down in a poker game in a room in the iter house. It was a big game and did not terminate for twenty-four hours. Col. El- liott was lucky from the start and won heavily, Later he dropped all his winningg, ail his rea: cash, and borrowed #1,100 from Col. Prather und dropped that, too. A month later Col, Prather assigned the debt to Col. Rickey for value received. Col. Rickey made a demand upon Col, Elliott for peyment but Col. Elliott said he didn’t'owe anything and never - ised to pay the debt. Thereupon Col, Hickey sues him in the circuit gourt of Cooper county and the matter has not yet been passed upon, ‘cary ior South Carolina, Lutheron Se: eyuod at Wilmington, N.C., At the Lush the r. port cu the location of the proposed the- ological seminary was presented by Dr. Brown.

THEY FOUND XO BUILDING TO LET MORE sUrIT- ABLE THAN THE PRESENT QUARTERS—1EE GOV- ERNMENT URGED TO ERECT & COMMODIOUS STRUCTURE FOR THE PURPOSE. The report of the city post office commission bas been submitted to Postmaster General Wanamaker and its main features will probably be incorporated in Mr. Wanamaker's annual report which is now being prepared. The re- port which is signed by the members of the commission—First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Clarkson, Second Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield, Gen. Raum, commissioner of pensions; Mr. Windrim, the supervising architect of the Treasury,and Postmaster Ross— is as foilows: The commission appointed by you to con- sider the practicability of utilizing a portion of the pension building forcity post office pur- poses, or for obtaining proposals for other suit- able quarters for the same, consisting of the first and second assistant postmasters general, the postmaster of Washington, and, on the rec- ommendation respectively of the Honorable Secretary of the ‘Ireasury and the Honorable Secretary of the Interior, the supervising arch- itect of the Treasury department and the cot missioner of pensions, respectfully submit the following report. Congress having. by act of October 2, 1888, 8. L. 25, page 524, granted to the Postmaster Gen- eral authority to remove the Washington city post office to the center of the court of the pet sion build.ug, provided that for this pur a space of 290 feet in length by 90 feet in width only should be occupied, and having appro- bes $5,000 for the expenses of removal and tting up the same, the commission at once addressed itself to the work of ascertaining the practicability of carrying mto effect the au- thority thus conferred, and for this purpose several times visited and inspected the pension pullding. They found that the inner court of the building affords ample space for a post office, is weil lighted by day, and can be lighted by incandescent lights for night work, should itbe required. Additional radiation could also be placed for warmth in winter. OBJECTIONS TO THE PENSION BUILDING. As to the adaptability of the space for the use of the post office and the desirability of using it the following seem to be important considerations: First, The out-going and in-coming service would have to be accommodated through the one entrance way for wagons at the east end of the building. To afford adequate room for this purpose radical changes in the present construction of the buildimg would be neces- sary. A shed, more or less porary in character, might be constructed at the end of the building to afford additional space and shelter. ‘this would give reliet in handling and storing through matter, not intended for opening or distribution in the Washington ottice, but would be of little practical use in the disposition of the vastly iarger quantity of mail to be opened, distributed, made up and dispatched from’ the central’ portion of the ofice, The handling of the constantly increas- ing mail in this city through one comparatively narrow entrance would seem impracticable, Second. The extended distance the mail mat- ter would have to be trucked, under the best arrangement that could possibly be made at this one entrance, would greatly delay the work and increase the expense of the service, Third. The occupancy of the interior court of the pension building for post office could not but be, under the most favorable circam- stances, a serious drawback to the work of the force employed in the pension building. To cover the court would, of course, exclude the light to a great degree and seriously interfere with the work of the post office, besides render- ing the expense of fitting up such an office very great. If, on the other hand, it was left entirely open above the office, so as to admit light ana air, the dust, inseparable from the work of so large a force working at all hours of the day, in the center of this open! court would be found a source of con- stant annoyance in the conduct of the business of the pension office and to this would be added the turther annoyance | occasioned by the presence of the great num- | ber of people visiting the city post office. The occupancy of this central space would unques- tionably impair the ventilation and sanitary condition of the office, particularly on the up- per floors of the building, while it is doubtful whether in the post office itself the temperature could be kept sufficiently uniform and the tendency to draughts checked so as to avoid serious injury to the employes, Literally speaking, the effect would be to place a force of nearly three hundred people in the center of ‘a building, surrounded by another force of thirteen hundred people, and to this would be added the public, which would, in the aggre- gate, largely outnumber the force of bot of- fices each day. When it is remembered that the scheme of construction of the pension building was, in the matter of light, air, ven- tilation and general sanitary conditions, made dependent upon this large open court, around which the rooms of the pension office are ar- ranged, it would seem that the whole plan would be defeated by locating another office in this space. Fourth, The toilet rooms are already inade- quate, and large and expensive additional ac- commodations would have to be provided. It is difficult to sce, in the present condition of the building, how such space could be afforded. Fifth, The cost of screens, furnishings and equipment would be not less than $25,000, the desks, boxes, distributing cases and general office furniture of the present office not being of such a ciimracter as would justify their re- moval to another building. Sixth, A site more convenient to the public and to railway depots is desirable, and would facilitate alike the business of the office and the prompt receipt and dispatch of the mails, OTHER £ITES AND BUILDINGS. After the examination of the pension build- ing had been completed and the judgment of the commisson formed, as above stated, other propositions were considered and various sites examined. Among these were the buildings on 43g street recently occupied by the District Commission, the First Baptist church on 13th j street between G and H northwest, the cyclo- rama building ov 15th street and Ohio avenue, and buildings known as 419 and 421 on 6th street northwest in square number 489, to- gether with the 77-foot lot immediately in the rear, facing on Sth street, on which is located the building known as the Columbia law build- ing. ‘There was aiso a conditional proposition to rent the First Presbyterian church on 43¢ street, ‘The proposals to rent these variohs premises were made in respouse to an advertisement under date of June 8, 1839, inviting proposals for lease of premises suitable for the Washing- ton post ofice. The various premises above described, offered at prices ranging trom $7,500 to $10,500 per year, were visited and carefully examined, Some of them were found utterly unsuitable for post office purposes, as their occupancy would necessitate chauges and addi- tions almost equal in expense to the construc- tion of a new building. The First Presbyterian church, fronting on 43¢ street and having a 24- foot alley in the rear aud a 30-foot iy leading from said alley out to the main street, and also alleys on the north and south sides, seemed to present the most advantages, and a careful measurement was made to ascertain whether or not it could be made available for post office purposes. The measurement of the church shows on the ground floor 5,295 square feet, and on the audience room floor 5,992 square feet—a total of 11,282 square feet, The Space now actually used in the Washington Post office is 20,989 square fect, of which all but 1,496 square feet are in the basement and first and second floors. A diagram of the space oc- cupied by each department was made and a corresponding space assigned to each in the church above mentioned. It was found that, after all the available space had been allotted, there would still remain unprovided for the entire city delivery division, including the box department and general delivery. A third floor, above the audience room in the church, even if tound to be an architectural possibility, would be utteriy impracticable for urposes, and would increase rat lecrease the difficulties now labored under in the present inadequate quarters, We quite agree with = statement of the A fpaecers tmaster, who says that “While Find to find relief in any direction I do not ww such floor larorecben ee Hy to space, but tiew of es location, for post office in a city of this character. the fice purposes, use, a work of very great tively prevent their recommendation for post office purposes without the contem of repairs almost equal in ex) to the erection ofanew bmiding. A few buildings considerable advantages in the matter of light and might be mentioned. but they were not offered to the commission, after due adver- tisement had been made, and most cases their location would be uusstisfactory to the residents and business men of the city. THE PRESENT POST OFFICR THE BEST. In view of the facts above set forth, and of the unsatisfactory result of our investigations, we have to report that the present city post office, all thii considered, affords, for the time bei: eye available facilities thus far offered. The entrance for the general public on Louisiana avenue, unimpeded by mail wagons, which have ample space for loading and unloading on C street, affords advantages not to be ignored in determining the question presented tous, The location is central, and in that regard at least it might perhaps be said to meet fairly weil the necessities of the office. In view of the absolute necessity that exists for ® permanent and suitable building for the city Post office and the fact that the eme — re- quiring 1t cannot be much longer delayed, we are brs 3 to recommend the rental of other quarters, which would in turn be tem y and in the nature of things enealiable, but which, in the meantime, very heavy expense to the furniture in the present office alre stated, utterly unfit moved and placed in any other office. When to this is added the serious incon- venience to residents and business men of a change to a location much less central we are forced to the conclusion that in the ex- ercise of the authority granted you by act of March 26, 1888, to lease suitable premises in the city of Washington for the purpose of the Vashington post office, this commission can- not, in the interest of the public service, do other than recommend to you the continuance of the office in its present quarters, at such terms as you may be able to secure, until such time as permanent and suitable quarters shall be obtained. We further tfully recommend that in any arrancement that may be made for further occupation of the present quarters a guaran- tee be required of the owners that they will expend not less than $3.000 to make absolutely necessary repairs, all of which are essential to the comfortable and convenient occupancy of the building and a part to its safety. We also recommend that the small building adjoining the it office on the east be rented, with the condition that it be extended through to C street. This will enable the postmaster to re- move the money order office to a point more accessible to the public, and relieve, for the time being, other overcrowded and embar- rassed departments, 4 PERMANENT OFFICE WANTED. At the risk of exceeding the scope of its du- ties this commission respectfully represent that they do not feel justified in closing this report without first inviting your attention to the absolute necessity of some final action in this much vexed question of suitabie quarters for a post office in this city. That they shou!d be permanent and equal to the best in the country, instead of being temporary and far below ‘the worst in any first-class city in the United States, will, we think, be conceded by all who have a just and commendable pride in the capital city of the nation. The Washington post oftice, upon which a very large jocal and a proportionately very much larger floating population depend for mail facilities, greater perhaps than that in any city of its size in the Union, has long been a synonym for all that is utterly bad im the mat- ter of light, ventilation, cleanliness, safety and comfort, That it has not, with its valuable government property and still more valuable records, been destroyed by fire, isa matter of surprise to those best acquainted with ite in- terior arrangements, while its immunity from robbery of a serious character has been purely & matter of good luck, that may at any time be changed by a serious disaster. We desire in this connection to invite your attention to the foliowing information migra © the extent and growth of business in the Washington post office since 1883, at which time a careful state- jovernment, the ing, as we have to be re- | ment of the business of the office was prepared by the then postmaster, Frank B. Conger. A comparison with an earlier date would have shown an increase almost without Lin the larger offices of the county, but a later date has been chosen as a basis of comparison, first, because the figures had been carefully verified and were accessible, and, second, because they fairly represent the steady yearly growth of the business of the Washington office, THE GROWTH OF BUSINESS, Among other very interesting and intelligent statistical information furnished by the Wash- ington postmaster it will be seen that the gov- ernment values jing through the registry division during year ended June 30, 1885, amounted to €497,671,849. This seemingly in- credible statement is explained by the fact that a vust amount of internal revenue aud other valuable Treasury department matter is con- stantly passing through the Washington it office and is transported free in the registry ponches. It will be observed that much of this vast work is performed and this valuable mat- ter handled in a space of less tian 2,500 square feet. situated on three different floors of the building. We invite special attention tea re- ort, hereto attached, relative to the registry Sivision, addressed to the honorable third as- tant postmaster general by Z. Moses, assist- nt superintendent of railway mail service. The Washington city post office was removed to the quarters now occupied in the year 1879. At that time the entire clerical force consisted of cighty-cight persons, Including special de- |livery messengers the force now numbers 197 employes, exclusive of carriers. ‘The carriers in 1579 numbered forty-four. here are at the resent time 130 carriers, including substitutes, eing an increase of 196 per cent. In 1879 the number of stamps, postal cards, &c., old per month was 468,000, amounting to $5,985; the sales now amount to 1,835,252 per mouth, or $32,737.10 in value, being an in- crease of 293 per cent in number aud 265 per cent in value, The sales of envelopes, wrap- ers, &c., have increased during the same time rom 41,500 per month, amounting to $774.70, to 197,500, amouuting to $3,617.50, an increase of 376 per cent in number and 367 per cent in value, The total number of stamps, postal cards, envelopes and wrappers shows an increase per month from 509,500 at time of removal to 2,032,752, an increase of 280 per cent, And this represents simply the increase in local post the department matter being almost entirely'in penalty envelopes and it is esti- mated that at least 65 per cent of all mail handled at the Washington office is free matter. In the ene division the number of pieces of mail received in the year 1889 amounted to 89,390,007; im 1883, 36,608,452, an in- crease of 144.17 per cent, viz: 52,781, The namber of pieces of mail delivered and coilected in the delivery division in 1889 was 34,868,629; in 1883, 16,969,707, being an increase of 105.54 per cent, viz: 17,898,922, Postage upon local letters in 1889 amounted to $63,023.33; in 1883, $31,131.19, being an in- crease of 102.40 per cent, viz: $31,892.14. All this work is performed in the space of about 4,000 square feet. » In tho mailing division of said office the total number of pieces itched in 1888 was 98,743.500; in 1883, 54,827,392; showing an in- crease for five years of 43,916,108, or 80 per cent, averaging 16 ag sagt — : The assigned for portant work consists of about 3,440 square feet, In 1883 distribution was made in said mailing division of mail for eleven or twelve states, em- bracing 22,399 offices; said division is now tributing to offices and rail: eighteen states, which embraces fices, and also making a Dominion of Canada by and F fea 5 § i i iB i i H ? é i F i i ? : i HH H i 5 i Hl i Li ps 4 tek iy during 1883, $3.885, being an increase of about bp cent, viz., 7,157. amount received for same during 1899, $19,975.27. The amount received for same dure about 220 per nts received d year ended Decem- ber 31, 1883, @1,425,.081.00 we received during year ended June 30, 1889, €1,098, 701.81, being a of about 29 per cent, viz., a fg mye J Year ended December 2 . Deposits made during year ended June 30, 1889, §695,526.26, being de- crease of about 41 per cent, viz., €289,873.74. The average increase of the above items amounts to 120.5 per cent. The average de- crease in deposits received and made amounts to 35 per ceut, It will be seen from the above statement that, notwithstanding the inaccessible quarters as- signed to the money order division upon the second floor, to which its patrons have to pass through narrow, dark and winding pmeen, © must be fitted up ata | gratifying increase has been made in the > ness of said division. Besides, the establisb- ment of many postal stations since 1883 has re- heved the main office of some domestic money orders and postal notes issued, while it has in- creased the work of the main office in examin- ing and comparing the accounts of said stations. Itis believed that if the money order division could be located upon the main floor the busi- hess of the division would be greatly increased. Ail of this work is performed in space of about 810 square feet, Rnd year ended Jane 80, 1889, Sed "3 second-c: matter oug! maile at said office amounted to. 1,942,888 penate; during the year ended June 30, 1883, 14,562 pounds, being an increase _— 160 Per cent, viz., 1,194,326 dis, * allotted to said’ work consiste of 70 square Trot, THE WORKING SPACE. While the work and working force has so in- creased in every department the only increase in available space in nine years has been ob- tained by building a storm shed beyond the building hne on Louisiana av which makes it possible to use 904 additional square feet inside the building. On occasions of high water the storage rooms and basement are flooded, not only ruining supplies stored there, but depositing refuse matter, which, with the attendant dampness, remains standing men- ace to the clerks in the office and to the eral public who visit itfrom day to day. fiat serious sickness among the employes has been frequent and continuous is by no means re- markable, while escape from much more serious cor juences is an occasion for thankfulness, The situation, bad enongh at first, grows steadily worse, with the enormous increase of the business and the corresponding increase of the force necessary to transact it. The communications received by the com- mission from residents and business men bere, indicate # general public sentiment in favor of suitable quarters, which in any of the large cities in the states would long ago have Tipeved into a demand. This feeling caunot but be general among all our peopie who have visited the city or who have any knowledge of the office. It would be of great advantage to the morale of the post office service if the city possgssed a building which would not only be adequate to its needs, but an example to those who visit it of ali that modern post office should be. The large number of postmasters comthissioned here and visiting the city prior to entering upon the duties of their respective oftices, very naturally visit the office for ideas and instruction to govern them in the early stages of their prospective administrations, and while the city has been generally fortunate in the appointment of its postmasters, it must be said that in that direction only could the visitor be profited by any inv: might make, unless, indeed, he tice with a view to ascertaining what to avoid rather than what to imitate. A NEW BUILDING WANTED. When it is taken into consideration that not only are the present quarters eutirely inade- quate and unsatisfactory for the purposes of a city post office, but in addition the government is paying nearly $20,000 per annum rental for the oe - ~~ business of ge agen t office, which long since outgrew the pres- ay quarters, the necessity for and wedom of erecting atan early date a building that will not only accommodate the city post office in some central portion but also aford room for the various departments that have been crowded out of the general post office building will, we think, be apparent. The question of suitable quarters canuot much longer be deterred, and considering the time necessary tor the com- pletion of a suitable building the necessity for early action 1s apparent. Whatever action may be taken, however, to relieve the department we respectfully urge that you recommend to Congress the immediate necessity for securing to the city of Washington an office that will be commensurate with the dignity and importance of the capital of our country, and do away with an institution that has become a by-word in consequence of its conspicuous unfitness and the futility of the many attempts that have been made to remedy the evils complained of. A GOOD DINNER Grover Cleveland Dissents from a Suge gestion About Ex-Presidents. The New York chamber of commerce dinner last night was an enthusiastic affair, It was the one hundred and twenty-first annual ban- quet and Delmonico'’s was resplendent with electric and intellectual brilliancy. President Smith had on his right ex-President Cleveland and on his left Hon. John W. Noble, Secretary ofthe Interior, Others at the tables were Hon. Samuel F. Miller, Gen. Sherman, Chauncey M. Depew, Hon. Wm. McKinley, jr., Carl Schurz, Gen. 0. O. Howard, Hon. Edward J. Phelps, Hon, Frank Hiscock, Roswell P. Flower, Horace Porter and Henry Villard. When the cigars had been lighted President Smith of the chamber of commerce spoke. The first toast, “The President of the United States," was drunk in silence. The second toast “Our honorary members” was RESPONDED TO BY EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
