"Washi.ngtox, October 5. 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. Lightxek.

present month, or early in November. Mr.
John Owens has been sending ont Invitations,

Butlek, October C The Forest Oil
Company shot their .No. 4, Heid, with 12
quarts on Thursday to improve the gas,
which is getting to be a scarce article in this
field. In the Myoma field the South Penn
Company completed their No. 4, John
Staples farm, on Wednesday, and it is
equivalent to a duster. The Forest Oil
Company's No. 8, John Stewart farm, is in
the bottom of the sand, and fishing for the
bailer. If they are successful in getting it the
well will be shot on Monday.
Guckert & Co., on the Berringer, are about SO
feet in the sand, and have not reached any pay
yot. The first pay was cot about 40 feet in the
sand. A. A. lieidecker moved part of the ma
chinery from his old Heid farm well to Wild
wood on Friday. The Forest Oil Company are
experiencing considerable difficulty on account
of fresh water that shons a decided tendency
to break In. No. 3 bpithnler is the latest can
didate for a pine plug. The well is being
plugged to-day. The casing will be pulled im
mediately, at this is the only safe remedy.
The Forest Oil Company's No. 17, Staum, Is
through the sand and was yesterday shot with
CO quarts, and is showing up for a good well.
The same comnanr's No. L widow Pfeifnr. is
down bOO feet, and their No. 8. Eli May. 1,200.
No. 1, Eli Goehine, is rigged up and will com
mence spudding on Monday. They will be rig
ging up on their ho. 9. Eli May, on Mnndaj;
No. 1. John Marburger, will be ready to com
lnenie spudding tho first of tho week, and a
new rig is completed for their No. 4, William
Waldron.
The National Transit have the lumber on the
ground for their new station near Evans City.
When completed and in running order the
station now used at Callery will be done away
with. Brooks, McKee fc Co., of Eyans City,
have recently completed a wildcat on the
Green farm, on the outer edge of the once
famous Mush Rusk pool. It prored to be a
rank dnster.
Tno committee appointed to solicit subscrip
tions of stock for the proposed new pipe line and
oil refinery, have just begun work and have al
ready raised iiu.ow. it is believed that there
will not be any great difficulty encountered in
raising tho total sum expected to be raised in
the Butler district, 5130,000.

A Suicide Told to Arranse Bin Funeral
Before Killlnff Hlinrlr.
rEFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIEFATCn.
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.

rSPECIAI. TELEQltAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Washington, Pa., October 5. 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.

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

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

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

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. There are but
three separate tariffs named: 15. 25 and 0 cents

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.

and for this simple reason: Arising from im
pure and insufficient blood, the disease locates
itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of
white tissues: there is a period of foetal Hfo
when the whole body constats of white tissues,
and therefore the unborn child is especially
