GENERAL EPOETINS KEV7S OF THE DAI
At last the official averages of the players
of the local baseball team hare appeared.
In some respect they mean interesting
study. .Not one of the entire lot has
reached the .300 mark In batting, although
Tan Haltren is. very near it, and he is
closely followed by Douovas. The latter
really makes a eood all round showing.
Beckly shows up poorly in batting, and
with the exception of Joe Kelly, heads the
list in fielding..
Van Haltren also heads the list in runs
ami is third In the sacrifice hit colnmn. In
making sacrifice hits Bierbauer is first, with
Beckley just a pop behind. Altogether the
batting averages are not of a very flattering
kind and there is room tor improve
ment. Blerbauer's fielding record is very
satis tciory to Manager Buckehberger and
so is that of Beckler. The second baseman
had a very bad batting streak, which lasted
unusually long. At one part of the season
the team was badly demoralized, particu
larly under the management of Tommy
Burns. Parrell's record is also disappoint
ing to many of his friends. Following are
the averages:

Great Local Interest In the Goddard and
Maher Glove Contest.
It Is seldom there'ls suoh local Interest In
ft fistic encounter as there Is in the coming
battle between Goddard aiidldaher. Prob
ably there was abont ii.OM bet in this elry
yesterday on the result at odds of 100 to 73 to
103 to 70 on the-Australian. One -man well
known In local betting circles bet about $803
on Maher at the odds quoted. Williiim
Smith, brother of GVorze Smith, "Pittsburg
Phil," offered to bet $1,000 to $800 on Goddard
yesterday afternoon, but could ret no takers
fit thnt llirnw ITn hi n lutA lintii lnat Avfln.
ins there were numerous Inquiries at this
omce loraiauer money, anu mere was none.
A number of prominent citizens are going
to the fleht. 1 he Goddard supporters, are
very confident, and on paper their man has
the better chance. But the odds on the rc
sulf should not be as bis as many people are
asking. Taking everything into considera
tion, & to 4 is a very good figure, llaher's
chances are much better thau many people
suppose. ,
Mfther Very Hopeful.
NnvTOitK. DeC5i-5ieetot-reter llahef,
who bus been receiving Jils .prep-iration for
this mill at Navesink Highlands, Is reported
in good condition. Ueports have been cir
culated to the effect thitt the Irishman has
not been attending strictly to business, bat
his backer, "Dave" Holland, says these nre
untrue. Maher, he claims, ha received a
careful preparation for the mill, and ho
feels confident of Peter's ability to defeat
the Australian. Maher states he Is In good
condition, and ho Is even more confident of
victory than his trainer.
A Definite Challenge.
New York, Dec i In the malls on the
Canard steamship Aurania which arrived

Braddock, Dec fi. Special The in
quest on the body of Edward McGlade, the
old man who died la the lockup
yesterday after being arrested by Officer
Mc Williams at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, was concluded to-nicht before
'Squire Hottzman. It developed a mystery.
There was some talk that the old man had
died from the injuries received at the hands
of the officer; but the physicians at the
autopsy swore that ,the blow or blows in
question did not injure the man.
That the testimony of the doctors is dis
credited bv the jury seems to appear in the
isct that the finding as returned by the jury,
is withheld from the public No explana
tion is .riven, except that the ends of justice
will be best served by keeping the finding
a secret, and that more testimony would be
taken before the case is finally disposed ot

NEW POSTAL KINKS.
Large Numbers of Them Are Recom
mended by John Wanamaker,
HE FAVORS A DISTEIC. STSTEU,
Fewer Cffices, More Centralfj'd and Free
Lnral Delivery.
PKEUHATIO TUBES ABE COMING KflT
"Washikgton, Dec 6. Poitmastw Gen
eral Wanamaker, in his annual repott,
after' reviewing tbestattftlcsgiven the pub
lic through the reports of his division chiefs',
say's:
I believe fully that great advances could
be made In the direction of Country free de
livery by an evolution of the Star route
service, and wo would see free delivery to
persons living along the highways traversed
by the Star route contractors with little, if
any; increased cost to the department In a
very few years.
In the matter of the collection of mail
from letter boxes at house doors, Mr, Wana
maker says:
In Washington City, where tho test of one
of those boxes was made for one month, an
hour or more per day was saved to the car
rier; end in St. Louis, whero the test of
another one of these boxes was pnrposely
made as hard as possible, ft was found that
there was actually no loss of time, and the
postmasters of St. Lords and Washington
promptly and unqualifiedly declared that
the collection of mail from houses could bo
undertaken by the present carrier forces.
The work of Introducing the liouso letter
box Is now vigorously under way.
Postal facilities for the Country.
Of his proposition to divide the country
into postal districts, Mr. Wanamaker says:
This, Uko tho other great postal reform,
can be only a question of time. Tho pro
posed system would accomplish in a practi
cal way the purpose of the bill to select
tonrtn-ciass postmasters wtcnout political
intervention. JVe shall soon grow to 100.000
postnfQcos and to 230,000 or 330.000 postal
employes. There must be oontraction, con
solidation nnd simplification, and with It
all, tho extension of facilities cvorywhero
will be not only possible, but perfectly easy
and natural.
New buildings and a pneumatic or an
electrical service of some kind is strenu
ously advocated for New York, Chicago
and other large cities. Tho postal tele
graph and postal telephone are, of course,
strenuously advocated, ns formerly. Of
one-cent postage, Mr. Wanamaker says:
"In my report of a year ago I said, and
have now to say, that one-cent letter post
age is a near possibility'
Would Do Away With Box Itents.
The Postmaster General, also, advocates
a classification of clerks, and submits a bill
for the purpose; urges regular pay f r sub
stitute carriers and a Certain payment to
carriers lor leaves of absence; advocates the
abolition of box rents and private letter
offices; urges the reduction of 'money order
fees, the simplification of the postal note so
that it belter supplies the need of fractional
currency, and suggests how applications for
money orders can be made easier. The re
port closes with the following:
My ideal for the American postal service
Is a system modeled upon a district plan,
with fen er offices and those grouped around
central ofDces and under thorough supervis
ion. By this meanB, at least 20,000 offices
could he abandoned that produce nothing
to the Dopaitment. In the place of every
abolished non-money order and non-register
office, might be put aivantomatlestamp sell
Ing machine and a letter box to receive
mall. With the money saved should be in
stituted a system or collection and delivery
by mounted oarrlers, bloyclei, and Star
route and messenger contiactdrs, and the
gradual spread of free delivery all over the
country. The classes of postage should be
reduced to three, and tho rate of Hostage
then orld over to 1 cent for enoit half ounce,
for the average weight of a letter Is now
three-eighths of an ounce. I would idemnl
fy to the extent ol $10 for every lost regis
tered letter.
Thres New General Officers Needed.
The organization of the department
should be permanent, except in the case of
the Postmaster General and tho fourth
assistant, and I would add three new officers:
A Deputy Postmaster General, to be sta
tioned at New Tork, a Deputy Postmaster
General, to be stationed in San Francisco,
and a Controller, to be stationod at the De-
Iiartment ba Washington. All postmasters,
'resldental and fourth class, and all em
ployes in all branches of the departmont,
should have a specific term of four years.
on good behavior, and their reappointment
should be subject to the Controller of the
Department, whose judgment should be
based upon records. I would unify the
work, hold it un by a strong, a controlling
hand, reduce tho hours of labor at almost
all points, equalize and advance the pay,
make the promotions In every branch for
metlt nlouo, and retire old or disabled
clerks, perhaps on a pension iund to be pto
videdbyan annual payment of one-half of
1 per cent ontor ench month's anlary.
A postal telegraph and telephone ser
vice, the postal savings depositories, pneu
matic tubes or some electrical device be
tween city sub stations and main offices,
ferries, railroad stations and central offioes
in all ltttgo cities, should be employed with
out delay.
More Economy In Postonlce Buildings.
The erection of immense, oostly buildings
for postofflces ought to be stoppod, and the
department ought to be allowed to expend a
fixed sum or from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 eaoh
year in the erection of buildings upon a
fixed plan, such as Postmaster General VllaS
recommended.
I would grant larger discretion to the
head of the department to experiment with
postal inventions, and fix stated periods lu
the order of business or the House and Sen
Hte Postofllce Committees to cull upon the
Postmaster Geneial for Information and
censure alike, at which time, too, he could
have an opportunity, wltliih right limita
tion, -to present uostal subjects.
I would modify tho system of fines and
deductions upon railroads, and establish a
system of compensation based upon speed
a 20, ) 40, 60, CO-mlle an hour rate. By this
means "railroad compensation wonld not
cost any more, And we should soon be run
ning mall trains between Now York and
Chicago In 15 or IS hours, and between- New
York and Boston In four hours.
OUT OF THEIR BAILIWICK.
Constables Try to Arrest a Man on Board a
Boat and Fall.
Another arrest, said to be in connection
with the Homestead affair, was attempted
about 1 o'clock this morning, but, owing to
the adverse decision ot h Sturdy river cap
tain, the afialr did not take place.
James Brislin, constable for Alderman
McMasters, accompanied by Mr. Lindsay,
one of the officials of the Carnegie Steel
Company, proceeded to the lauding of the
Nellie Hudson in the Allegheny river. Go
ing aboard they aronsed the captain and
stated that they had a warrant for the ar
rest of one of his men, Robert Belts, oh a
charge of felonious assault. The captain'
promptly reiusea to give up tne
man, claiming the officer had no right to
make an arrest on board the boat as It was
subject only to the United States marine
laws. Alter considerable parley the two
left, leaving two assistants to watch the
boat
Mr. Lindsav and the officer went to City
Hall and telephoned to Superintendent
O'Mara for police assistance The request
was refused on the ground that the police
had no right On the boat. The two then
returned to the boat and gave instructions
for the guard to keep a sharp lookout

San Francisco, Dec S. Attorney
George A. Knight, addressing the jury in
the Curtis case to-day, outlined what the
defense would attempt to prove, vii tatd it
would be shown that much, of the testimony
of tha prosecution Is absolutely false. Mr.
Curtis, the defendant, related bis story just
as ho did on the first trial. Ha met a man
near Fifth and Mission streets who asked
for a light Curtis started for a- Howard
street car. He said "good night" to the
stranger, and had got about half a, block
when he half turned around, and suddenly
he was struck by some blunt weapon, fall
ing to the sidewalk.
"The next thing I knew," said Curtis,
"was that I was jerked to my feet and
placed under arrest." The fright and the
blow on his head affected him so seriously
he had no clear recollection of anything
that occurred until three or four hours after
the shooting. He had $240 on his person
whan he was knonked down, but has never
