Evansville Bond Question.

Upon Wednesday, Nov. "a, 1886, meeting
of the Evansville bondholders was held in
this city, to act upon the proposition offered
by Messrs. G. II. Venner & Co., and supposed
to have met with the approval of the chair
man of the finance committee of the city
council of Evansville.
The bondholders after long conference
were almost unanimous in refusing to ac-
cept the proposition as made; put they will
be more than ever pleased with their deci-
sion when they learn that in an interview
published in the Evansville Courier as held
with Mr.. Brentano, chairman of the finance
committee Of the City Council of Evansville,
in reply to the question, "Will the Council
accept this proposition, if it should be
formally made?" said, 81 cant say what the
Council will do but should certainly not be
In favor of accepting the proposition"
This seems to indicate that the question
can only be determined, by the United
States court who have thus far, always made
the defaulting cities pay their indebtedness.

THE BLACKSTONE CASE.
The Directors Have Discovered
Nothing as Yet.

Rumors were in circulation yesterday that
the directors of the Canal Bank had sue
ceeded in discovering how Blackstone got
$4,000 out Of the bank. The directors, how
ever, say they have discovered nothing.
A despatch from Montreal yesterday says:
"A Portland detective arrived in this city
Thursday afternoon in search of Howard L.
Blackstone, the Portland embezzeller. 1t
appears that as soon as Blackstone
arrived here he wrote to the directors
of the bank, saying that they need
not trouble themselves about him, as
he was safe in Montreal. He also
wrote that he had no scruples in acknowl-
edging his guilt. The different hotels are all
being searched and the city secured for the
defsulter, but he has not been found. If he
is discovered, extradition proceedings will
Immediately be taken against him."
1t is reported that Blackstone had $500
invested in the Diamond Wrench Company.

Robert r. somers q Co.. Furriers,

This firm are among the most extensive
dealers in furs in this city. They have
practical furriers under the supervision of
the late Mr.. Susskraut's foreman, manufac-
ruriDg their own goods, they are therefore
able to sell cheap. Those wishing to have
their garments repaired, muffs refined. or
made over, should give them call. The
quantity of Scotch caps that they display in
their window ensures liberal patronage.
1t is worth anybody's time to take the
trouble to look at them. Mr.. Somers has
imported all these himself.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON q MAINE RAILROAD FLOWER GAR

BOSTON MAINE RAILROAD FLOWER GAR
DENs.
Director N. j. Bradlee reports as follows
upon the flower gardens of the Boston and
Maine for the year 1886: The number of
stations improved have not been as many as
those of last year. Ten stations which en-
tered into competition last year have not en-
tered the list this year. and there have been
but three new ones added. The committee
have found it difficult to decide as t. the
hrst prize between Kennebunk, Madbury
and Atkinson stations, all of which had a
very fine display, and in order to do Justice
TO all, we recommend first prize of $50 to
each OF them. Old Orchard grounds have
been greatly improved, and we would advise
tnat the park be continued between the next
streets, also that the Road Masters be in
structed to grade around all stations where
II would be possible to improve the grounds
by lawns or flower beds.
