J. B. Martindale Transferred From Mall Clerk to Carrier.

J. B. Martindale, the railway mail clerk, has been transferred on his own request from that position to carrier on No. 4, out of Rensselaer. Harry B. Murray, the carrier on No. 4, has been transferred to route No. '2, where a vacancy occurred by the death of Elias Hammerton. The change will take place, it is understood, on Nov. Ist. . Since the death of Mr. Hammerton, the route has been carried by Lem Huston, who was qualified for the position and had his application in for it. Mr. Martindale desired the transfer in order to be at home more of the time, owing to the poor health of his wife. He was one of the ablest of the Rensselaer faail clerks and stood well at the head of the list for further promotion. It is probable that his-resig-nation from the mail service will give some other Rensselaer clerk a boost.
