A volum inous correspondence between Postmaster General "Wananiaker and the Chairman of the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads on the subject of postal telegraph facilities, has just been made public. It opens witn a lengthy letter from the Post master General, in which he reviews the whole subject, answers the objections which Lave been made and describes in detail the effect of the proposed law. Sir. AVanimaker says that he is more than ever coninced of the wisdom and practica bility of restoring the telegraph to the postal service and making it what it was originally intended to be, a part of the postal system. As to the constitutionality of the proposi tion, he presents many arguments from rec ognized authorities, and gives a history of the movement toward the establishment of the system for the last 20 or 30 years. DETAILS OF WASAMAKEIt'S PIiAX. After giving many reasons why the pres sent service is high-priced and indifferent Mr. "Wananiaker goes on to describe the de tails ot his plan. He says it will not in volve any addition to the'lmmense stundiug army of civil cuiDloyes nor involve large appropriations. All postoffices where the free delivery service now exists and the offices ot the telegraph companies with which contracts would be made, would be postal telegraph stations. The charges for the collection, transmission and delivery of postal telegrams, other than postal money orders and special delivery telegram'i.are as follows, briefly, for 20 words between stations within a state or territorv, or between stations 300 miles apart or less, 15 cents; for 20 words between sta tions in tLe States of "Wisconsin, Illinois. Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Mississippi and the States east of them, 23 cents; for 20 words between stations in the States of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana and points west of them, 25 cents; for 20 words between stations in States forming, generally speikirg, zones up and down both sides of the Mississippi, 2j cents; for 20 words between anv two stations not above provided for, 50 cents; for all words in excels of the first 20,1 cent per word; prepayment of replies to be made at the office irom which the original telegram is transmitted. DIVISION OF THE KEVEXUE. The contracting telegraph companies are to have all the revenue fn.m the servien pt. cept the usual rate of letter postage for each telegraph, which is to be reserved to the department. The companies cmplo.- at their own expense all officer.', operators and employes for the transmission of the tele grams. If any postmasters act as operators they are to be compensated by a uniform percentaceon the tolls of telegrams handled ov mem. me rostmaster General will sup ply telegraph stamps and forms. A severe penalty is provided for the pun ishment or persons in the service who shall secrete, destroy or make known the contents of postal telegrams, so that there would be no trace of power in the bill for an admin istration to use for improper purposes. "With regard to the operation of the scheme, Mr. "VVanamakcr gives the following descrip tion, which gives a clearer idea of the purpose of the bill than any explanation that has yet been made: The working of the plan can easily be seen to be mot economical it wll mni nnn. ah postotnee and letter boxes, no matter charged In all cases for additional words. If an insufficient value of stamps should be affixed the deficit wonld be collected from addresses, provided at least 15 cents should be prepaid. If btamps of a value less than the iniuimam amount (15 cents) were affixed the communication could be forwarded by mail. The bill would protect both the Postofflce Department and the public and would provide for a class of correspondence that, generally speaking, wonid not be put on the wires at the high rates now prevailing. I can't be made to believe that this union of the telegraph and the postal service, whereby each would so dis tinctly lessen the burden of work of the other, will not appeal to the ingenuity, tho enterprise and the good sense of the American people the moment they understand it. I am sure that it is easily snsceptible of proof that this con venient, safe and ouick service wonld be very generally used. USTAIi SERVICE STILL AVAILABLE. The qnestion arises, would the public be sat ished with a telegraphic service which wonld not provide immediate delivery. It may be re marked that the character ot the contemplated service Is such that a half hour or so at each end of tho line for the postofflce service would not bo objectionable, while, for instance, 24 hours or more, if the mail were used, would be so. The fact would remain, however, that the usual telegraph service wonld still be avail able for business demanding more rapid col lection and deliver- Tho plan is intended to take care of that class of communications uhich will stand a delay of an hour or tno, bnt not of a whole day or more. In conclusion, Mr. Wauamaker thinks that tho plan would be profitable to the tel egraph companies, the service would be more efficient and lower-priced, and the whole craft ol telegraph operators would be benefited for the reason that being required to do work of a large variety and more of it they would command higher prices and would be better men.

JoHNSTOwu.OctoberS.-TThe man Buloff, who committed suicide here yesterday by hanging, has contemplated killing himself for some time. Two or three mouths ago he purchased a revolver with the intention of shooting himself. Not long ago he called at the office of the .Frets Fresse and offered Editor Nickel 5100 to shoot him. Mr. Nickel did not think him of sound miud, and humored him to the extent of telling him that as soon as arrangements were made for the funeral he would comply with the request, Buloff went at once to an undertaker to order his coffin, but was not successful in finding one to suit, hence the shooting was postponed. He was insanely iealous. and charged his wife with unfaithfulness with a boarder in the house. He claimed to have caught the man kissing his wife. The neighbors do not believe be had any occa sion for jealousy. They credit Mrs. Rulnff with being a good woman and an excellent manager. A BAKGEE0TJS ITEE FEEDER. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Word has just reached here of a strange and prob ably fatal accident which occurred on a farm near Candor. Mrs. Ladshaw found a small bottle which contained a quantity of nitro glycerine, and, thinking it was carbon oil, she took it home. Thursday evening, the fire relusing to burn, she emptied the bottle in the kitchen stove, when a tremendous ex plosion followed. The house was completely torn away and Mr. Ladshaw's body was torn and mangled. The little 3-year-old boy is also burned about the face and hands. Mrs. Ladshaw was struck by flying timbers and consider-' ably bruised, though it is a wonder she was not instantly killed. A 6-weeks'-old babe escaped without injury.

Our special Trade Sale of rurmture now t?i progress is an Exposition of our recent swjwier purchases of Furni ture, setting forth the ex traordinarily good values, ele gant styles and surprismgly low prices now offered by us. The continued scarcity and advancing prices of well sea soned quartered oak lumber, the difficulty of getting furni ture from oversold first-class manufacturers, and the in creased cost which has been added to plate glass mirrors by the new tariff bill just en acted, all indicate that the present is at the bottom of the gradual decline of values in the past, and the starting point for a much higher range of prices in the near future. The constant wonder of re cent buyers has been, that Furniture can be produced at bur prices of to-day. ' lent. where thc might be located, would be utilized US me uuoiic as lcceptacles for postal t.Ie grams, and as the demand aro'e special boxes might be ena1 lisbed for postal telegrams only from wliich collections mlgh be made more frequently than ironi the regular letter boxes In all or iaot of the postuffices the wires of th contracting telegraph company wouldbo placed and its operators would transmit the postal telegrams to their destination by wires lustas telegraph companies transmit their business. REASONABLE SrEED. With postal telegrams filed by the senders in person or through tho medium of messengers orerants there would be no more delay in voked up to the point of reception at the end of the line than now occurs In the general tele graph business; and in case of postal telegrams collected lrom lettei boxes at short intervals ihcdelaj would generally not be greater than is now required to co to a "tt estern Union bnuch ofhee to tend the telegram. As fjt as telegrams u ere recen cd at the telegraph office or destination they would be "en eloped" and addressed and a postage stamp of proper value aiax a. and they woulu then be handed over to the pnstnfhce bv the telegraph company for de Inerv bj the regular carrier service. As the business developed and its demands were unuersiooo the intervals between deliv eries might easily be shortened. In large cities thr-e jre regular deliveries leaving tho cost fli -e almost cen hour. In anv case the pay oj?nt of lu cen s extra wonld provide for an im iaHiiaip special deliver) in the same manner as a le ter i-. now handled, when a special delivery stamp i iH.ra m addition to the regular post age Non ..ttcr tinw remote a postofhee iui"-ht l)c from ihistal telegraph stations the) could al ways have the advantage of the telegraph serv ice forward and backward, for postal tele grams could aluavs be sent by mail to the near est telegraph station for transmission, thence by wire to their destination, or they could be received by mail from the telegraph stations similarlj It will bo observed that tho postal telegrams woulu be collected and delivcied by rueans ot the potofiice senice, and transmitted ,?,, ., ''. l K "F'Km to destination through the medium of the contractin tclc graph companv THE COMPANY'S POSITION. This company would stand in exactly the same relation to tho Postofflce Department that a railroad or steamship company or a stage line or local express companj holds which has a contract for transporting mail matter from ono citv or town to another or between branch postoffices in large cities. In many cases a postal telegram would be collected, transmuted and delueied with no moie delay than now oc curs in the business of existing telegraph com panies and in most cases the time consumed in the collection and the delivery, especially in respect to postal telegrams passing between distant cities or towns, wonld not affect the value or the communication. Indeed it is be lieved a vast amount of correspondence now committed to the mails would seek the more speedy postal telegraph channel. In each case the Postofflce Department would earn its postace. while the tienoln wnnii h. i.t. tcr served. The telegraph compiny would be able to do the busn.ess.at the greatly leduced rates, because it could be relieved, not only of all the accounting, but ot two other important items or expense to it. namely, the collection and the delivery of telegrams, which would be removed from them entirely, and that, too without any appreciable additional expense to lunmiuituk incases wnere tne amount of bumneas to be done would not justify the telegraph company in the maintenance or a separate telegraph staff the postmaster, if not an operator himself, would employ an oper ator, his rxtra compensation from the tele graph services enabling him to procure such help. In many cases the postmaster's assist ant or one of his cleiks would be selected with a view to his abilin to telegraph. The result would be that in such cases the telegraph work could be performed by the postmaster or his assistant, and their compensation thereby be increased, and where the regular postofflce du ties are so heavy as to preclude such Joint la bors without their undue interference with each other, the telegraph company would em ploy an operator to give all of his time to the telegraph. O.MY THKEE KATES. There would bo no overcharges by thrifty operators. The charges for postal telegrams would be easily understood.

Getting: Ready for Winter. Oil City Operations in Venaneo conntv ara limited. The principal scat of operations is in the gray sand district, and when the wells now drilling are finished it will about wind up drilling for the fall. In nearly every section of the county aperatorsaro getting ready for winter. The production is also fallit.g oil and the pro ducer are still murmunnir aramst ihn htandard for cutting the premium and depress ing the market. Especial! is th.s the case in tho gray sand, where they saj tho monopoly had no good reason tor taking off the premium as it is almost identical with the situation in the Tiooa field, where no reduction has oeen made. W'hilo there has been no public demon stration toward building a pipe line and re fiiier), there is a strong undercurrent feeling developing toward this end. The average pr ducer is of the opinion that it is too late in the season to build a refinery of any magnitude, but assert that organization of a pine line and storage company is among the possibilities.
