DOINGS OF THE MUNICIPALITY.

The Report of the Register Of Deeds Shows
Interesting DedlctIons-The General
Concensus Of Smaller Matters.
THE manner in which the trade in real estate
sympathizes with commercial interests is shown
by the report of the Register of Deeds, Henry
Woods. which is almost completed. He makes
some remarkable revelations in his figures,
showing that although the amount OF property
transferred is very great it still shows many
thousand dollars below the actual transfers.
This is accounted for by the fact that a great
many transfers Of property take place in
settling up dissolution of partnership, such as
in the case of Smith & Friday, or In the ar
rangement of an estate, such as IN the settle
ment of the Hussey, Howe & Co. business,
when the consideration was only 81. The total
is therefore far below the actual transfer OF
property, but the whole showing speaks we'll
for the appreciation Of Pittsburg property, be-
ing some 30 per cent ahead of last years yalua-
tion and indicating an advance in values OF
nearly 75 per cent within the last hve years.
The following table shows the figures as COM
piled BY Mr.. Woods. The table gives the num-
Der of transfers for each month and the
au,ount fnvOlvad in Such TRANSACTIONS.

IN A MEXICAN PRISON. Confinement of an American Citizen
 Without Cauee.

Without Cause.
 WICHITA, Kan., June 17.-George L.. An- drews of Toledo, O., now homeward bound, says that about the middle of last November he went to Mexico to recuperate his health. Having no particular point in view, he stopped off at Cand elebra, a small town on the Mexican Central. A few days after ward, he was arrested and taken before the mayor of the province. He was ignorant of the charges against him, not having know ingly violated the laws, but after the for mality of few minutes trial he was put into prison. He made several unsuc cessful appeals to Americans to se cure his release, and at last he was advised to send word te the English consul. Before he could do this he was taken down with small pox from which he did not recover until January About the first of May some English tourists stopped at the jail and telling them that he was an Englishman from Liverpool and had been illegally imprisoned, he urged that they place his case in the hands of the English consul. This was evidently done, for on ths S1st of May he was released. All his prop erty had been appropriated by his jailort and he was compelled to borrow money enough to reach Fl Paso, where he tele graphed to Toledo and received money witt which to make the journey home. His i'm. prisonment was horrible and his food not ii for swine. He says that the Mexican author ities have an utter disregard for the rights oi 8 citizen of the United States.

Elected for the Willimantic Savings
 Institute.
 W1LLIMANTIo, Conn, June 17.-At the an- nual meeting of the trustees of the Williman- tic Savings Institute, this afternoon, the old board of directors resigned and the followin g board was chosen:
 Silas F. Loomer. Charles E. Carpenter, M. Eugene Lincoln, Frank F. Webb, John Hickey, all of Willimantic, William H. Yeo- mans of Columbia, and Charles Larrabee of Windham. John Hickey was a member of the old board, but was chosen only a year ago and has not been actively identified with the recent troubles, so he is practically a new man.
 The directors organized by the choice of Silas F. Loomer, president, and c. E. Car- penter, vice-president. Frank E. Webb de- clined reelection as treasurer, although strongly urged, because his health will not permit such close application. N. D. Webster, assistant treasurer and who stood faithfully by the bank in it's recent troubles, was pro l noted to be treasurer. The new board is l confidence of the community. The opinion generally prevailed that the old board had ! done great good in unearthing the Royce l nest, but it was thought best to make change to avoid the antagonism of the past It is believed that todsy's action will restore public confidence and insure prosperous future for the institute. Silas F. Loomer the new president, is the, largest individus taxpayer in Willimantic, is director in tn, Air Zine railroad and is widely known as very successful and upright business mana

THE SIOUX RESERVATION,
Sitting Bull Is Forever Opposed to la
 fuo fo

Sitting Bull is Forever Opposed to lts
 Opening for Settlement.
 BISMARCK, Dak., June 17.-CourieIs just arrived from Standing Rock report Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief, as alive and slowly growing stronger. Speaking of the pro- posed opening of the reservation for settle ment, he said that he never signed Ea treaty and never would. When told of the number of Indians at the lower agencies who are signing, he would not believe it. He said that he had Indians at the lower conferences who reported to him and he knew that no such number as reported had signed. He is suspicious and thinks the commissioners are giving out reports to influence the Indians at the upper agency.
 There is every reason to believe that the commissioners will succeed in opening the reservation, but they must do 1t without the aid or consent of Sitting Bull and his friends. The Indians in Standing Rock have chosen the orators to represent them at the coming conference, but Sitting Bull is not one of them. Those selected are Gall, John Grass, Mad Bear,- Head and Eagle that Scares.
