This card was mailed from Quebec 30 April, 1898 according to the message text on back. But I can't figure the cancellation partial between the stamp and Philadelphia. Anybody help?

Hi Canadastamp and all

I believe that the cancellation you are referring to may be a 'carriers' marking of some sort (?) Once it reached the city the card was destined for, a carrier would apply his cancel before going on his route.

Bujutsu - hmmmmmmm. Pondering. That being the case we have a cross-border card that received nu post office cancellation in Canada. Unusual.
