An extra man bas been work- ing all last week every day where needed, and on Saturday by the help of three teams for delivery the force cleaned up everything, so that by night all the mail matter than had come into the office had been ®otten out, leaving the racks clean for the expected flood on Sunday. The flood came, too, and all Sunday afternoon the full force of sixteen car- riers and three subs, with Postmaster Caruthers and Chief €lerk Wells, were at work sorting up the mail for the delivery routes today and for the out- going railroad mail on Sunday. It was with no small feelings of triumph and relief that they reported (hat every- thing was cleaned up by evening.

There were thousands of them. apparently, and thousanas more of the Christmas postal cards, which | this year seem to crowd the maiis as never before. As an indication of the postal eard mania, it was reported | that on Saturday one carrier on one gelivery at one house to one family delivered 62 postal curds. When a carrier has 300 families on his route, some idea of the picces of mail matter he will nandle in the Christmas rusb can be gained. The rural carriers will find their de- Jiveries equally crowdad today and on Sunday three of them spent the after- noon at the postoffice getting their mail into shape. For Christmas day, Postmaster Ca- ruthers will have three teams work- ing and there will be two deliveries, but ne declares they will make an- other clean-up today before they stop work. On Saturday in the outlying Aistricts, the noon deliveries were dis. pensed with, but in the center of the Cities all the deliveries were continued as usual. In the outlylng districts on Saturday the dropping of the noon irips really contributed to the com- Dleteness of the service as it was found the men could do more effective work in two big dellveries than If they had to break into their time for the noon trip.

Lately this 10.45 it has been happening that special car on Saturday nights has carried a load of turbulent characters, among whom the trolley | authorities say Smith has been a fre- cnt “bad actor.” Motorman Yer- eton rides on_the trip to preserve and when Smith tried to pick a fght with other passengers Saturday night, he attempted to arrest him. | There was a struggle at the time, but |the real trouble came when the car crew attempted to transfer their pris- oner 2t the Montville switch to the car | bound back for Norwich. It took the | combined efforts of Supernumerary. | Yerrizgton, Motormen Towne and Cash, Conductors Davis and Jennings, and some other assistants to separate | the prisoner from his friends and get | him into the other car. When the prisoner arrived at the Broadway cor- ner here, Policemen Myron Morgan and Charles Smith were waiting for the car, snapping the leaders on to the prisoner befoce they took him to police headquarters. When he arrived here the pugna- clous Polander showed the effects of | the struggle he had been through, as Dis coat was ripped completely up the back from tall to collar and he was otherwise 2 very much mussed up in- dividual. i | | MESSAGE OF THE ANGELS.
