The floor in the board room at the Franklin building was covered with a new car- Pet.which is quite unprecedented, as heretofore the members of the board have been content to rest their feet on a cocoa matting, the custom of using the desks as foot reste not being in Yogue in that digmfied body. Then there were two new trustees introduced to the board, Mr. Leonard C. Wood, who takes the place of Mr. Johu W. Ross, and Dr. David H. Hazen, who occupies the seat vacated by Mr. Georgo White. In addition Mr. Jobn T. Mitchell was elected president of the board for the ensuing year in place of Mr. Ross. It was a special meeting called for the purpose of considering the esti- mates for the fiseal year onding June 30, 1892, ‘These estimates were reported by Mr. Thayer froma special committee and received the ap- proval of the board, ‘The various items, with the inczeasce, as compared with the appropriation for the resent year, and the aew estimates are as fol- yw: OFFICERS AND THACHER’, One superintendent, $4,500; increase, $1,800.

ARR ESTED. He is Charged With Using the Mails for immoral Purposes. Great excitement has been caused in Wheel- ing, W.Va., and in «he towns on the Ohio side of the river by the announcement that J. R. Cochran, late probate judge of Belmont county. Obio, and a lawyer and jurist known over the entire upper Onio valley, had been arrested by order of United States Commissioner B. J. Campbell on the charge of using the mails for immoral purposes. About a month ago Coch- ran rented a lock box in the Wheeliag poat of- fice and soon thereafter the mails were flooded with type-written letters, scarcely any two alike, but all promising on receipt of @1 to senda secret to prevent maternity. These letters were addressed to many ladies in Wheel- ing and over a wide area in Ohio and all asked | that answers be sent to box 209. ‘Tbe Post Office authorities made a number of eflorts to capture Cochran. whose identity Was not then kuown, but they failed until Fri- day, when, his box being so fastened that he was unable to open it from tae outside, he was forced to appeal to the stampclerk and was st once pounced upon and taken before the fed- eral commissioner, who held him in $500 bail a mination ou the 1éth. chran said he was merely a agent of one A.

WHAT FIGURES AT THE DEAD LETTER OFrice SKOW—TE ANNUAL LOSSES DUE TO CARELESS- NESS—SIMPLE RULES, WHICH IF FOLLOWED, WOULD SAVE MUCH TROUBLE. ‘Tho tremendous ammount of mail matter that has accummulated at the dead Iotter office and the rapidity with which it increases are matters that at various times havo received considor- able attention from the officials of the Post Office Department. Jnst how to dispose of all this matter and how to keep so much undeliv- ered and anclaimed mail from finding its way into the tombs of that greatest of all literary graveyards, are two questions that are of the greatest importance to the handlers of the mail of the great army of letter writers, THE POSTMASTER GENERAL'S INQUIRIES. Recently the Postmaster General, as stated in Tue Stan, issned a circular letter to the post- masters of the leading cities throughout the country asking them what reasons they would ascribe for the tendency of so many letters to go astray and calling upon them for suggestions as to remedics. He also nsked them to give as mnch publicity to the efforts that are being inade in this direction and also to tell the gen- eral public politely, but firmly, that it would be very much to their own interests if they would quit putting unaddressed and unstamped letters into the post oflices, or if when they do address them they would write so that the poor hard-used clerks, wnose business it is to gucsa at doubtful addresses, would be able to make some sort of a satisfactory guess at them, * PUZZLING ADDRESKES, Some of the addresses that these letter guess- ers meet with are droll, to say the least. To call them illegible would be complimentiag them too highly, for they never como any- where near being legible. Expertas the postal clerks are they have to give up many of these graphic puzzles, and one afteranother in quick succession love letters, bills, remittances, duns, circulars, jewelry and’ samples of every imag- inable class of goods that could be transmitted through the mails find their way to their last resting place, unread or unseen by those to whom they were intended to be sent, and read a matter of business by those whose ness it is to try to find out from the inside t they never could learn from without A newspaper in a western city recently published cuts of several envelopes deposited at the post ‘e there and offered large rewards for the correct guesser @f what those addresses really were. It 1s more than doubtful if the rewards will ever be claimed, THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE. ave you any idea of the amount of busi- ness done by the dead letter office?” asked Jas. E, Bell, superintendent of the city dolivery division at the city post ofiice, of a San reporter recent “No? Well, it ia and the amount of labor that deal more of matter from its way in the same direction would as- t you. And yet the whole difticulty. o: very Lirge part of it, would be solved af people who write letters would follow three very s1in- ple directions: Be sure to address all your let- tors. write so that people will know what you have written and lest. but not least, put a stamp on your envelope. Simple rules, of course, but itis amazing how many people fail to follow Any one of them, “Look before you leap,” is an old adage, and T wou!d apply it to letter writing—look at what you have written before you mail it and see if your address is really whiat it ought to be. WHAT A LITTLE ATTENTION WOULD Do, “The observance of such a rule as this would have resulted last year in the prompt delivery of 451,296 letters which through the careless- ness of their writers wore necessarily sont dn to the dead letter office. Of this number bore no address whatever and 98,154 dropped into the letter boxes without tamped, So you seo a simple lock be- fore mailing would have saved untold annoy- ance and considerable distress to pocket books. Why to pocket books? For the reason that 23.498 of these letters contained paper money, to the extent of near! 50.000 and 26, tained checks, dra{ts and other valuable con- siderations to the amonnt of #1,471,871.53. The delivery of each and every one of these was delayed for wecks or months as the result lc carelessness, The post office people are naturally anxious that the public should know these facts and figures, so thata mirror be held up, as it were, where they may esult of a lack of care in what they er avery small matter. An idea of the total number of letters sent to the dead letter oftice may be had when it is known that over 2.000.000 letters have becu ecnt there were found to contain no inside ad other means by which they could be identified and returned to their writers, EDUCATION &8 A REMEDY, “What is the remedy and what provision can be made against tho accumuiation of this vast amount of dead matter? Education, I think. Educate our children in the schools in the art of letter writing. Teach it on the blackboard anddrum it in with the other studics which reboots hs the rising generation to fill useful stations im life. Instruct them never to write a letter without giving prominentiy, atthe beginning or ending. a detinite address to which a reply may be sent. ‘The wise sug- gestion which the Post Odice Department tkes, ‘that a return request be printed or written on the envelope’ should be fnculeated. Had this been observed the millions of letters sent to the dead letter office for lack of euch an address would have been delivered or promptly returned with bat littic del: There is nothing more important than a return request on an envelope. “One very fruitful eanso of the failure of letters to reach their proper destination is the illegibility of the addresses they bear. If let- ter writers only knew of the trouble, the bother, the worry and the headaches ‘that many of them canse the poor post office clerks who try to decipher their hierogiyphics they would either be a little more painstaking or else they would get some of their more intelligent neighbors to address their letters for them.” ae SLEDDING UP MONT BLANC. The Novel Expericuce of a Sixty-Year- Old Scientist. Alame man, about sixty years of age, has just mado the ascent of Mont Blanc, In his day Mr. Janssen has been a great mountain climber. Heis the president of the French Alpine Club and an astronomer. He was taken up on asicdge which was drawn and pushed by twenty-two guides, and while they hada rather hard time of it in some parts of the as- cent the old gentleman sat in comfort on his sledge and let them tug away and flounder in the snow. When near the top of the mountain, at the Ridge of the Bosses, the ascent was almost verticai, and on, both sides were beds of suow, parently ready to fallin avalanches at the slightest motion. ‘The twenty-two guides, who Were up to their waists in the snow, begged the old gentleman to try walking for a little variety, and assured him that a very short pull would land him on the top of the mountain. Iie finally consented to try it, got off his sledge and took six or seven steps, when he tumbled down in the snow, He suid the work was much too hard for his strength and they must get him up on the sledge somehow. An- other hour’s hard work and the astronomer Was on top of tho mountain, the first time that any one has ever taken aSsledge journey up Mont Blane. it took him two days to make the ascont, but only one day to return to the hotel near the foot of the mountain. and during the many hours the guides were pufling —— up the ditticult slopes two ladies, the wife and daugh- ter of the Alpine sledge traveler, were on the veranda of the hotel watching every move- ment of their relative through a telescope.

Earthquakes Create a Panic Among the Residents of Granada, oy tHe 15,000 rxnapiraNts oF THE CITY AT THE BASE OF THE MOMBACHO ALL BUT 3,000 HURRIEDLY DEPART—THE REST IN DAILY AP- PREHENSION OF AN ERUPTION. Correspondence of Tar: #-vENINo Stan. Granapa, Nicaraava, Bept. 4. There have been ominous warnings of convul- sions of nature going on under the surface of a portion of this fair country during the past sev- eral days which have driven the people of Gran- ada from their homes. The earthquakes, begin- ning their rumblings on Sundas, have since re- sulted in the injury of nearly every house of this city of 15,000 souls to a greater or less ex- tent. Granada is built at the base of the great yoleano Mombacho, which has been considered a8 extinct-for centuries, no eruption having take pluce in it since the discovery of the coun- try, though there is now a daily dread lest the long-closed crater should open and bury the town in lava and ashes. The first evidence of the carthquake disturbances which have been going on beneath Granada was given on Sun- day, when one of the fairest days of the year was broken in upon by a trembiing of the carth and an ominons rambling noise as of distant thunder proceeding from the voleano. Several spells of trembling were then felt, but not any of them sufficient to do harm to houses, thoug! it created a panic among the inhabitants. MANY HOUSES SHAKES. A heavy shock came on Monday morning that caused great injury to nearly covery house of the city and was felt at Managua, Rivas, Masaya and other towns 60 and 79 mileg distant from the volcano Mombacho. Other shocks equally heavy followed, though no damage has been done outside of this city, and now there is scarcely a house with walls uncracked or with tile roof uninjured and partly thrown into the street, in some cases the destruction being rather worse, Arriving in the city in the midst of the panic, ‘Tne Star correspondent found a desperate ef- fort being made on the part of every one to leave the place. Thore who were able got away by railroad, carriage or cart or on foot to neighboring towns or haciendas short distances out of the city and a little farther from the dreaded volcano. A common sight ia to see whole families, headed by father or brothers, carrying bundles of bedding and the most necessary of bouschold goods, every member bearing a part of the burden. Those who have been unable to getaway have passed the nights sleeplessiy and fearfully on cots placed at doorways, in the streets or public plazas, where groups of campers huddled together away from tho danger of fu!ling walls, The vibrations of the earthauake have been from northeast to southeast and those of the heaviest kind have numbered half a dozen, though the minor tremblings have been in- numcrable, Vhilo the one-story houses of adobe, a mud brick made with straw, after the fashion of the ancient Egyptians, have been cracked from ceiling to iioor, it remains a fact that many of the firm masonry structures here have becn injured. Of this latter style there ure numerous examples in both bridges, churches and a few dwoliings, The adobe’ brick. the popular building material of Central American towns, hus but little adhesive power, and the shaking: of the earthquake readily cause it to crack, though the walls are built thick and have a massive appearance. PANIC-STRICKEN EXODUS. Up to the present time 10,000 psople have left the city by the railroad trains alone, the government running the trains out of town as rapidly as the facilities will permit. Inaddition to that number a couple of thousand have gone by othor means, seeking refuge in neighboring haciendas, the ratiroad facilities having been totally deficient in the task of effecting an exodus within « short time, and the depot has been, and is even now, crowded with men, women and childecy, the aged and infirm, the invalid from a bed of sickness, all this mass of humanity, with bundles of bedding and most necessary clothes, abandoning home: forth by tho wildest fears, perhap: realized, and every one joining in the sampode to get even room to hold on to the train to be taken troin the place. MOST PITIFUL SIGHTS, On all hands the most pitiful sights are seen of those whose homes are partly destroyed and left to the mercy of the clements, furniture and clothing rain-soaked, perhaps much stolen be- fore they can return—if it isso that they can ever return—and as the quivering of the earth is again felt and that ominous, distant ruibiing from the volcano is heard, the weak and help Jess cast anxious glances ‘toward the crater's crest to detect any bexinuing of the greater calamity they fear, But the population of the city has now been reduced, it 1s estimated, to 3,000, the remains of a city of 15,000 population four days ago, Although the calamity hasbeen great enough, and caused a great panic, thero have been no cases yet of fulling walls or of any death conseqdent upon the earthquake shock, : GOVERNMENT AID EXTENDED. The government has done ail in its power to keop order and prevent the plundering of de- serted houses. Two hundred soldiers have been sent hero from Managua, and when any one is canght in the act of stealing justice is promptly administered in the form of a tlog- ging there and then. Mr. Wn, Newell, the newly appointed Ameri- can consul, was here today looking after the interests of several Amcrican young ladies, Misses Frances A. and D.1.Caldweil and Miss B. C. Graves, who are tea rs in the college for young ladies located here. Vhere has been no severe shock now for nearly thirty hours, and coufideuce is being restored to a great cuough extent to permit the refugees to return tor some of their valuables left in the hurried flight. MOMBACHO, THE vor.cANo which is looked upon as the center of the up- heaval going on, is about 3,000 feet high, and Granada is located atits basc, a part of the town being built on the lower portion of tho jope and less than 15 miles from the crater. There are evidences of a terrible eruption in the past, when the greater quantity of the lava coursed down the volcano’s siupe to the waters of Lake Nicaragua, from the shores of which the peak rises, ‘There are numberiess little islands a short way from shore formed by the flow of lava. Should there be an eruption Granada would be doomed even should the lava take a direction away from it, as the fall of ashes would be inevitable and would be sufti- cient to make the town uninhabitable, \ At present there 1s no active volcano in Niea- raguaand but one in Central America, viz. in Salvador, Three years ago Ometepl, nent the center of Lake Nicaragua, ended an active state and the lastof the eruption of Momo- tombo, on the border of Lake Managua and near the capital, was seen less than two years ago in the form of athin column of smoke rising from its crater, Since then there has been in this country no volcanic eruption and bo prominent earthquake, ‘Tur Stan's correspondent left Granada today, taking the steamer across the lake, and as a full view of Momotombo was had from the ship several great landslides near the top ot the peak were noticed, giving evidence of the commotion which had taken place there, Newly opened crevices were claimed to bo seon by somo, but this was not established, The fact of the landslides of the volcano, which could not be scen trom anada, was tele- graphed to the city and will doubtless tend to, prolong the exile of the inhabitants, ever should no more shocks be felt for several weeks, Cuartes E. Keay, —— 200 CETONIAN PRANKS, Six Students Arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Fined $10 Apicce. Princeton college students had a night off the other night at Trenton, N. J. At about midnight the police wore notified that several young men in ulsters were tearing down busi- ness signs on Stato street. A squad of poiice- men was sent out.

The party did uot have one $5 bill and @ local mer- chant, whose son is at Princeton college, paid the fines, Another party of collegians drove in about 4.a.m. and proceeded to bill the town with huge posters, setting forth in big green letters a lot of more or less amusing informa- tion about the freshmen. They were not satis- fied with the bill boards, but selected the fronts of some of the handsome residences and stores in the fashionuble quarter of the city, They did their work so quietly they escaped detection. next day the citizens were try toclean off the hills, but the paste con- re te so much glue that they could not re- move them without disfiguring the house fronts.
