Postal Cars on Local Street Railroads —Many Other Locul Notes of Interest, The skipments of coal to Georgetown by way of the canal will cease to be made in a few days until the spring. The last boat will leave Cumberland on the 14th. “ The water will be drawn off between the 2ist and 25th. The season has been a heavy one, and both the local and foreign demands for coal have been great. At present all the ceal received here in Georgetown is being distributed within the city limits. Boatmen have had much difficulty during the past cold weeks in keeping help. Boys ere employed, their hire being all that can be afforded. Ten dollars a month and board is the average amount earned by these as- sistants. When shipments cease-some of the boatmen will take up the work of cut- ting crossties, gathering tan bark and doing vork. slany, though, will “loaf” the winter through. The reports about destitution on the canal at present are said at the canal oflice to be greatly exaggerated. Some of the families have received here and there touches of malaria, but this year the canal people have been singularly free, compara- tively, from the uSual canal ailments and distresres. There has been much work to do, and the activity has benefited all. Then, too, the prosperous season has enabled all to live comfcitably. All boatmen this sea- son have averaged $2 net a day. But very few own the boats they command. At pres- ent there are five women who captain canal beats. They are Mrs. Leopold, whose hus- bard is now being held for murder; Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Eddy and Mrs. Engle. Two of these are widows The others have hus- Lands, but trey don’t figure much. Postal Car. The railroad vostal ¢ar whith it was said would be in operation on the 15th will now, it appears, not be ready by that date, the construction having just begun. It™is de- signed to dispense with the wagons now in service between the various stations and the main office. The car willbe in charge of three clerks and a porter, and have stamping machines, ete. The car now un- Ger construction will be placed on the aye- rue cable line, but it Is désigned later to piace similar postal conveniences on the Chevy Chase and southwest branches. St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, ard other important cities are already pro- vided with this idea in practical form, and great benefits have been reaped thereby. The delivery of mails is quickened. The postal cars, it is said, will not facilitate much the service outside the city. It is for the local benefit almost solely. Got the Dog. A warrant was sworn out yesterday en- abling the officers to go through the eating establishment of Charles Curtis, 3004 M street, on the search for a bulldog belong- ing to Frank Brewer. The dog was found. Curtis claims the bulidog was sold to him by a colored man, while the owner, it is understood, charges him with theft. The dog was taken to the seventh pre- cinct and locked up, awaiting developments in the case. Notes. One hundred school boys from Baltimore, accompanied by several teachers, visited -Georgetown yesterday, and paid attention to the Key mansion, Southworth College, Georgetown College, Volta bureau, George- tewn Convent, Oak Hill, Arlington and other places of interest. “Patsy” Harris, who has been condemned to die on the 3lst for the murder in George- town, on the 4th of July last, of Matthew Spruell, it is reported by friends, has just completed the writing of a thirty-six-verse poem, entitled “Red Rum.” He curses the evil in the lines and shows that even the letters in the name, arranged backward, lead to “murder.” Spruell was killed at the corner of 33d and M streets. 3 The Potomac is frozen over near Han- cock strong enough to permit skating.

The fire alarm turned in this morning shortly after 8 o'clock was caused by a smail fire in the kitchen of the residence of Representative Jno. Dalzell, 1605 New Hampshire avenue. In four minutes from the alarm three engines and a police patrol wagon were on hand and made quick work of extinguishing what was a small blaze, but which might have been disastrous but for the promptness. As the engines came up the streets were filled with children on thetr way to and about the Adams school building near by, who did their share of screaming and adding to the excitement, but by the coolness and good judgment of the engine driver accidents were averted, though it was a close call for some of the little ones.
