Postmaster Prosser of Vox called \ at The Record office this week, and ' while the jbject of his visit was to j Jo some "kicking", we appreciated it, also the interest he takes in rendering the patrons of his office a satisfactory service. We must say, with apologies to our readers at Vox and elsewhere,that the blame should rest upon us. Since the first ?f the year we have had a rush of business and been necessarily late with our paper. In each instance, however.it has been through a desire to give our patrons the benefit of our columns.and the latest and best service we could command. We hope in the future to be able to mail The Record so that our large circle of readers at and in the vicinity of Vox will receive their paper by Saturday. If we fad, please remember that it is positively not our desire to be late. e Is Comii t you? Then you'll need hces other implements.

The 6 answer denies the allegation of the P Government that papers of the P American Steel and Wire company, p which were destroyed last fall,would * have shown that J A Farrell, now president of the United States Steel ~~ corporation, aided or abetted in the * operation of the wire pool for which B many officers of the "wire trust" i were fined, disclaims any attempt tojj conceal or suppress from the Gov ernment any papers or documents bearing upon the conduct of the steel business,and declares absolutely without ground the "imputation" that any of the defendants are about to destroy or likely to destroy pertinent papers, or that an injunction is necessary for their preservation. Owing to the recent death of Judge Lanning, of fhe United States court in New Jersey, where the case is in hand, and the refusal of the I court to hear argument in the mat- I ter without a full bench, the answer I was not actually filed,but was placed E today in the hands of Jacob M Dick- I inson, attorney for the Government, I in Philadelphia.
