ATLANTA, On., Feb. 7.-At different
times during tha last twelve months the
board of health of this city has been call
ing the attention of the board of control
of the union passenger depot to the fact
that the ‘constantly decaying wooden
flooring in the d*»pot w*s menace to the
health of the city. The board would
have these complaints when tiled with
them, but for first one reason and then
another the suggestions made by tho
board of health to tear up the wooden
flooring and replace It with either asphalt
or cement Were not followed out.
About ten days ago tho board of health
notified Mr. 'Wllholr.ham, president of the
board of control, that If the old flooring
was not torn up and replaced with a new
flooring, muiLj either of cement or asphalt,
Uuu ihn city would do the work and
charge up the expense to the railroads.
This threat did not seem to accomplish
the desired end. «nd this morning the

fifty ttegrocs, and at once commenced

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.—The postof

has consumed almost an entire week
In the house, was finally passed today.
The debate hovered about three topics,
railway mall pay, pneumatic tub® ser

It boro no fruit. The amendment to re
duce the rate of railway mall was
ruled out on a point of order, the
amendment to continue the pneumatic
tube service In New York, noston und
Philadelphia was abandoned, with the
purpose of making tho fight in the sen
ate, and the motion to strike out the
appropriations for special mall facili
ties was defeated.

The first vote was taken upon th®

strike out the appropr.ations of 3193.000
for special mail facilities between New
York and New Orleans. Tho amend
ment was defeated, 73 to 123.
The vote on the amendment to strike
out tlie appropriation of 325.000 for soc
ial facilities bet weens JvnnHHH city and
Newton, 'Kas.. was beaten without di
vision. The committee then rose. The
opponents of the appropriation for spe
cial facilities carried the tignt into the
house, where there could be n record
vote. Mr. Swnnson moved to recom
mit the bill, and upon that motion h®
demanded the previous question. As
only a motion to recommit Is In order,
this cut off Mr. Burke, who desired to
move to recommit with Instructions to
strike out the appropriation for special
