THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1891.
A PROUD POSTMASTER.
HcKean Pleased With the Showing
Made fcv the Postoffice.
MANY IHPEOVJQIEKTS WROUGHT.
Advantages, of the Fast Mail Train That
lias Just Been Secured.
BUST KOTC WITH CHRISTMAS TKESENTS
The new furniture for the second story of
the new postoffice building is expected to
arrive in Pittsburg this morning, and the
Pension office, the Internal Kevenue Col
lector's office and the Collector of Customs'
office will be removed there at onco. Xew
carpets were placed upon the floors yester
day, and the rooms will be magnificent
when the furnishments are arranged. The
entrance to the postoffice is to be covered
with boards for the winter, and now and
additional lights are being constructed
cbout the place.
The importance of the Pittsburg postoffice
Is growing rapidly. In postoffice business
Pittsburg stands us the ninth city in the
United States. The city is thirteenth in
population. New York stands first in post
office business, with Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston, St. ionis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn,
Baltimore and Pittsburg following in "the
order named. The sale of stamps, postal
cards and stamped envelopes by" the 2sew
York postoffice for the last year amounted
to S6,3SG,521 29. The sales in the Pittsburg
office amounted to ?5G8,536 28, or an increase
over last year of 57,000. The expenses of
the Pittsburg office for the year consumed
42 per cent of the gross receipts of the office.
The expenses of the Philadelphia office were
52 per cent of the receipts, arid the expenses
of the Brooklyn office were 72 per cent of
the receipts.
A tong-relt "Want Supplied.
Postmaster McKean received many warm
congratulations yesterday from bankers and
business men onthe department having suc
ceeded in placing swift mail facilities be
tween Pittsburg and 2few. York. The new
tervice is considered of the greatest impor
tance by the bankers and business people.
For tome time the Postoffice Department
has been laboring with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company to induce them to put on
another mail train similar to the one that is
now known as 2o. 7, to leave New York in
the morning, so there would be two exclu
sively mail trains, one leaving in the morn
ing and the otner in the evening.
All the necessary arrangements have now
been made aud the new train will com
mence December 20. It will consist of four
of the Pennsylvania Company's latest im
proved postal cars and will be run as the
first section of what is now known as the
New York and Chicaco Limited. It will
leave Kew York at 9 o'clock A. M. and ar
rive in Pittsburg at 9:10 p. si. and in Chi
cago at 9:43 A. m. the following morning.
How Delays Were Caused.
Heretofore the limited has carried but
little mail, only such as the small baggage
apartment in the composite car would "hold
Alter the baggage is loaded, and sometimes
the baggage is so heavy that there is no
room for mail which necessarily- has to be
held for the next train, causing a delay ot
several hours in reaching its destination.
Under the present system the train leaving
New York at 4:30 A. ai. and arriving in
Pituliurg at 8:10 r. si. has three postal cars
and the one leaving New York at 9.-0G A. si.
arriving at Pittsburg at ll'i has
two cars and the limited has none.
Consequently the bulk of the through mail
for this city and points west of Pittsburg
is held over for the 11:55 p. si. train-
"With the new train all the mail will be
brought to Pittsburg and pass on through
to Chicago, as one of the postal cars will
be taken on the limited and the other cars
sent through to Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and St. Louis.
The public knows but little of the working
of the postal service, especially on the rail
roads, but when they consider that it now
lequircs seven large cars to carry the mail
that now arrives in Pittsburg from the East
in the morning and five in the evening they
can realize the importance and magnitude
of this important branch of the Postoffice
Department.
Officials Entitled to Credit
The officials of the Postoffice Depart
ment who were most instrumental in secur
ing ice new ana unproved service are
Hon. .T. Leon Bell, formerly General Su
perintendent Railway Mail Service and
now Second Assistant Postmaster General,
Tames Ewlin, formerly Superintend
ent Railway Mail Service at Chi
cago, now General Superintendent,
It. C. Jackson, Superintendent at New
York, and Postmaster JIcKean, of this city.
These officers have been energetic in their
efforts to convince the Pennsylvania Bail
road people of the advantage such a service
v ould be to the public
Postmaster SIcKean yesterday issued a
number of suggestions to the public regard
ing the use of the mails during the holiday
peason, to avoid the annoyance of Christmas
gifts being delayed or lost, with the state
ment that in case of loss or delay a report
should be made as early as possible to the
clerk in charge of the inquiry division, on
the Third avenue corridor.

NAVIGATION IMPEDIMENTS.
Sulti Which Are Being Watched With In
terest hy Rlvermen A Government En
gineer Tells or the Difficulty of Bemov
Inc Obstructions.
A harbor tug losing some barges the other
day by contact with the mounds in the Ohio
river renewed the interest" to a considerable
extent among navigators relative to the
issue of suits now pending to render sand
diggers amenable to the United States for
obstructing the channel. A Government
engineer states that the piles left by these
modern mound builders cannot be raked
down and distributed after they have stood
awhile in the water without entailing
much labor and considerable expense, and
they are very annoying and dangerous im
pediments to navigation, nullifying much
of the good work effected bv the Davis
Island dam, and he says the nuisance must
be abated or in time " it will destroy the
harbor.
In view of this opinion it seems strange
that no use can be devised to which the
coarse gravel can be put At present the
.sand diggers cannot find a profitable mar
ket for the coarse gravel while within easy
hauling distance the suburban roads are
hub-deep with mud after every wet spell,
and it is suceested that were the diggers to
find sale for the gravel at a price that would
barely compensate them at the landings thai
it could be with profit put on these roads.
Through Central"Ohio there are hundreds
of miles of graveled ' roads that
are superior to any in this county
outside the cities arid they are made
exclusively of gravel. The supply is taken
lrom a gravel ridge that runs through sev
eral counties and so anxious are farmers for
there "pikes" that they build tramways on
which the gravel is transported for many
miles. The result is that farms lying im
mediately along them, though remote lrom
Cincinnati and Cleveland 150 miles, sell for
more per acre than do Allegheny county
farms five miles from a railway.
If the roads in this county were built so
that two horses could haul more than tour
now can, farmers could haul manure from
the city and make their farms raise produce
instead of mortgages. The mortgage crop is
about exhausted, as brokers do not care to
advance more than 30 per cent on ex
clusively farming land, and that limit has
been reached. There are within an hour's
drive of the city many farms that were left
to the occupants by their parents, that are
now mortgaged, and the owners have a hard
struggle to keep their families after paying
interest There is a screw loose somewhere.
CABLES FOE MONEY.
Lawyer Monaghan's Nam 9 Signed to an
Australian Message.
"West Chester, Dec. 17. fyecial'
B. Jones Monaghan, the missing "West
Chester lawyer, may be found, or someone
may be trying to victimize his family.
His wife at noon to-day received the fol
lowing cablegram from Sydney, Australia:
Love to vourself, Francis and Walter
Cable inc $5ii0. Eobert Joses Monaohas.
Robert E. Monaghan at onci cabled for a
description of the man who sent the cable
gram. Relatives fear that it is an effort to
get the $500 by a swindler, principally be
cause the missing man was never known to
sign his full name as was appended to the
cablegram.
Francis and "Walter, named in the mes
sage, are Mr. Monaghan's children. The
news of the message has created intense
excitement here. For some days there has
been a rumor here that Mr. Monaghan
might be in Australia. This rumor may
have been set in circulation by someone in
league with the person sending the tele
gram. A woman vho
can see. She's
the woman who
gets well. It's the
woman who tcon't
see and won't be
lievo who has to
suffer.
And it's need-
less. There's a
medicine a legit
imate medicine
that's made to
stop woman's suffering and cure woman's
ailments. It's Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It's purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless a powerful general, as well as ute
rine, tonic and nervine, imparting vigor and
strength to the whole system. For periodical
pains, weak back, bearing-down sensations,
nervous prostration, and all "female com-
S hunts," it's a positive remedy. It improves
igestion, enriches the blood, dispels aches
and pains, melancholy and nervousness,
brings refreshing sleep, and restores health
and strength.
Iso other medicine for women is guaran
teed, as this is. If it fails to give satisfaction,
in any case, the money paid for it is re
funded. You pay only tor the good-you get
On these terms it's tho cheapest.
