THE CROWDED POSTOFFICE. Temporary Arrangements to be Made for Handling -Parcels Post. With a brand1 new department In the postoffice, in the addition of the par cels post feature, and with it daily in creasing in volume the congestion in the office has reached a . point where temporary arrangements . are absolutely- npcpsiiirv: and to that end a par cels post window will be opened. 'This v,i:i either be made between ; tne let ter drops and the stamp window, at the turn in the lobby, or else the pres ent stamp window will be closed, and windows opened on each side of It, for stamps and parcels post packages; That arrangement, however, sim ply augments the congestion behind the screen,' that the two clerks will move in cramped quarters. However, it will afford some relief, "and with both the clerksf handling parcels post stamps, it will facilitate the handling of business. tMean while the holiday custom of putting a weighing clerk in the lobby .has been resorted to. Behind the screen there"is not a foot of space to spare. Thirty-five men, 17 carriers and 18 clerks,, are. working with the Vastly increased business of the Wilmington postoffice, in the same room where. nine years ago five clerks and eight carriers worked, and when the receipts were far under $100,000,; and they are now. $130,000. Therbuild ing is so arranged that no part .of the lobby can be utilized for, handling any part of the daily-'business, as the lobby itself is contracted;. there; not being space, it is - claimed,' -for revolving doors to replace the present doors which are a nuisance ' and really a source of some danger to- people. The. removal of the Federal' Court and tne Engineers' Corps from -the upper'floors would afford no relief to the postoffice number of petitions numerously sign edby children askinsr that . th 4tice be not stonned. Sbvi people also had 4etters, for and against skating. ? One lady declared ithat if no other relief was 'to be had, she would put sand , on the walk by her home. Complaint was mader that services at cnurcnes -were interfered with and that lawns were cut up by the roots by the skaters; and also that the prac tice was from all viewpoints, an intol erable 'nuisance, being especially dam aging to the walks. Two resolutions were offered nno by Councilman P. Q. Moore, making skating unlawful after 7 P. M., order ing skaters to keep 165 feet away from; afiy -church while services are going on, and prohibiting the practice of skaters catching onto vehicles and rolling along, penalty, for violation be ing $1. - -Mayor Smith offered a -substitute, prohibiting skating on any side walk, penalty $1. The original7 reso lution carried, ayes 4; nays 1; and wiu taKe effect within 10 davs from yesterday. o'Mr. Geo. O. Gaylord presented a pe tition asking jCouncil to close a part 6f Northrop alley, and upon motion it was referred to the city attorney and the city engineer for report,' ; All members were present and May or Smith presided.; f , force, because everything .connectedj ; by the plaintiff, was given by a jury yesterday, afternoon " when they said that Joseph Jones, -white, was entitled to recover of j the Wynne wood Lumber Company of i Wpmington, $20,000 for the -loss Of his left leg and injury to his right foot; in an "accident on a' log ging train, near Wauanish, abouf two years ago.

The jury was out; less than half an hour in reaching an agreement. The case was takeji up Wednesday and went to the jury-about 4 o'clock yesterday af ternoon. K. I C. Sidbury, Esq., and Ricaud & Jones represent - the plain tiff, while Herbert McClammy and Rouhtree & Carr appear for. the de fendant company. - After being out since Tuesday the Jury in the case of A.

Watters against" E. T. Young and D, J. Fussell, involving a claim for some thing over $300. The defendants ac knowledged the debt, but claimed their inability to pay. The questionfor the jury to settle was whether or not the element of fraud entered the case, as the plaintiff contended that one of the defendants in making the debt repre sented himself to own real estate to a certain amount. The jury returned a- verdict to the effect that the ele ments fraud did not enter the case. Louis J. Poisson, Esq.V represented the plaintiff, while C. D. Weeks, Esq., ap peared for the defendants. i In the case of J. P. Murrell against the Bellwill Cotton Mills judgment for dismissal was given. .
