MONTREAL, Dec. 29-To Mon-
treal’s many troubles resulting from
lack of water was added yesterday
serious dlfliculty in lnnndry work, at
least one large laundry being famed
to close and send delivery wagons
over the route in order that their
custoiilers might keep parcels to ‘tne
end ol the week when it is hoped they
will resume service. A peculiar fea-
ture is that most of the Chinese
laundries are able to keep 'going. Tha
,net result is that some laundries
closed altogether while others must
send their goods to laurulries outside
the zone of trouble. In the meantime
Montreal is .suffering serious incon-
venience,

FOUNDERING OF' MAHONE
CRAFT IS FEARED.
HALIFAX, December 29.- What
has happened to the Mahone
Bay schooner Iona. W.? Almost a
month ago she left a Prince Edward
island port with produce for Liver-
pool, and is now three weeks over-
due. The last report of the Iona W.
is so ominous that it is feared sbs
has met disaster somewhere at sea
between Halifax and Whitehead.
Whether or not this is true will he
determined by the government steam-
er Montmagny, which was ordered
out yesterday to search for the .m_»iss-
ing craft.
The Iona W. was last seen in early
December breasting a. heavy U10# 011
Whitehead. Apparently her sails
had been blown away. Bix men were
aboard her when she sailed out of
Georgetown, Prince Edward Islknd,
and it is the hope that the vessel is
merely disabled and drifting and that
the crew are standing by he`l', that
the Montlnagny sets out to-day.
No report of a BhiP B0 d0U\l8°ll
has reached Halifax by the coasting
steamers and schooners coming -along
that coast, but it is believed the
Ions W. has drifted out of the regu-
lar track _of navigation.
SEVERE STORMH RAGED
, ON HER ROUTE RECENTLY.
When she had not reached Liver-
thought the vessel had been weather-
ing the storms at some harbor. as
n further report has _come since t e
Igns W. was sighted off Whitlulead,
and there has been severe weather in
the past fortnight, Oharlgs l-f. Har-
ysy,_sgent of marine and fisheries.
was asked by Dr. Stewart, M. P.,'-'for
Lunenburg, to send a search steamer
out. Accordingly the captain of the
Montmsgny was notified at Louis-
burg last evening. The Montmssni
was at nouiiturg on government ser-
vice, but she' is to immediately start
scouring the seaspetwssn Whitehead
and Halifax.

here. Mr. Burlingham said yesterday
that' he reached the extreme bottom
of the crater, a depth of 1,212 feet,
while the volcano was active at the t
depth, Prof. Mercalli, director of the 1
Vesuvius observatory, had believed
this impossible. He is amazed at the 1

UHIBWF. They are nil old employes
and f0l‘ some time past have been
running between Moncton and St.
John on Nos. _3_; and, 4, commonly
known as the Boston expresses. One)
of the brakemen and the baggage-
master run on one day, while the
other brakernan under arrest runs the
opposite day. The latter has the
habit of getting on the train at
Hampton and coming to Moncton as
passenger and always travelled in the!
bussese cur. The .non running on
these trains as they=did had every
chance in the world to steal goods
and practically be beyond suspicion.
Considerable baggage is carried by
his train, and nearly every day dur-
ng the summer and around Christ-
mas thc Boston train has a very
arge number of passengers. The
aggage-master, if he was working
and in hand with the brakemen,

nom de plume is “George A. Birm-

magazine returned with his little
daughter from Europe and that in
midocean the girl wrote her name
and address on a piece of paper,
which she enclosed in a bottle Bild
dropped overboard.
The glrl's message was picked up
by a peasant on the west coast of
Ireland, who wrote her, stating that

their innocence, but when they were|
confronted by several facts and their;
homes searched they broke down com-g

this is well, for there is no branch of I
the public service that is so much
taxed during this busy season, and
there is no class of officials who work
with such self-sacrifice as dn the Post _
Office officials at Christmas. The
Charlottetown Post Office is no ex-

dour of its staff.
The public may form an idea of the
deep interest in their duties evinced
by the Post Office clerks and the let-

during the past week.

lice. Monday, the 22nd, was a busy
day continuously until the arrival of
the foreign mall at one o’clock on
Tuesday morning. The full strength
of the city office stall and the letter
carriers was necessary all through
the night in order to prepare the
mails for dispatch by the early trains
and couriers, and for City Delivery
at 8 a. m. Tuesday night was a 1
disappointment. The clerks and car-
riers were anxiously awaiting the ar-
rival of what was expected to be the c
great bulk of the Christmas mail, _
when, to their chagrin, the train ar- -
rived at 1 n. m. with but a handful
of mail, the rest having missed con-
nection by heing on the second sec-
tion of tllo cast-bound C. P. R.
The next night was filled with un-
certainty as the storm prevented the
stcllmers from leaving on time, and
it was expected that they would
cross when thc weather moderated
and cleared, so all hands had to bc
complaint, for the Post Office officials
