I hoping someone can help me tease this apart. I picked up a neat postal card, sent from Russia to Chicago in 1896. It has two auxiliary markings right on top of each other: Train Late/Mail Delayed and PAID ALL. One is New York, the other Chicago. I can't really tell which dial goes with which. I'd also like to know what Paid All (and the A) indicates.

What say you?

Chicago and Train Late/3/Mail Delayed go together and was applied there.

Both marks are fairly common.

Here is a Chicago marking with a different arrangement of the wording, but same intent:

I knew someone here could figure it out. Thank you John!

Did "Paid All" indicate that the correct postage had been applied by the sender?
