THIRD DIVISION FUNDS GONE.
Treasurer Barrett Invested the Money IL
His Private Business and Failed.

Treasurer Barrett Invested the Money in
His Private Business and Failed.
After the failure Of Thomas Barrett, in
the dry goods business some weeks ago,
the Third division, A. o. H., asked him
to account for the funds which he held
as treasurer, amounting to $249.5 He
told the committee who waited on him
that he had no money as he had invested
the funds in his business. The committee
then looked to the bOndsmen of Mr. Bar
rett for the money. The bondsmen are
D. j. Casey and Maurice Koran.
They found that the last named had no
money or real estate in his own name.
Accordingly the case was put into the
hands of Webster & O'Neill to collect
the money.
A reporter interviewed Mr. Casey this
afternoon, who said that although he
was on Mr. Barrett's bond he thought
the society should only hold him for
half of the amount and even that might
be secured from Mr. Barrett if the proper
measures were taken.
Mr. Barrett, when asked if he had any
thing to say in the matter, replied that
he had invested the money in his bust
hess. He said that he had often asked
the society how he should invest the
funds and was told to invest in any way
he saw fit, SO long as the division was
secured by good bOndSman,

In the way of a novelty in the shape
of mule raising Jared Bishop of
Cheshire is in a fair way to take the
premium. Last spring Mr. Bishop pur-
chased a sucking mule from parties in
MiddIetown intending to bring it up on
the "bottle,' but after arriving home
with his purchase the thought struck
him that young buffalo cow that he
had i'll the barn and which was longing
for her calf, could probably be put to
good use IN acting as mother to the
mule. He had the COW tied up and cut
her HONS off anG then turned the mule
i'll box stall with the COW. There " as
a short fight and the mule came out
victorious. Now the pair are insepara-
bic companions and the mule is thriv-
ing, and the COW dociie as a kitten.

OPENING OF THE OYSTER SEASON.

The Mckinley Bill Causes an Advance
in the Price of Tin Cans.

local dealer this morning, land l must
say that the outlook for retailers is poor.
Owing to the scarcity of the bivalves
the wholesalers are in the habit of IN
creasing their prices at the opening of
nearly every season. This fall, il is
understood, the price will be ST. 80 a
gallon. Now, can you tell me where
the profit of the retailer who sells
oysters for thirty and forty cents "a
quart comes in?"
The scribe admitted that 1t looked as

water had conspired to make the bust

HEATING CARS BY STEAM.
All the Consolidated Road Cars BEN
Equipped With the Apparatus.

All the Consolidated Road Cars Being
Equipped With the Apparatus.
The work of equipping all the passen-
ger cars on the Consolidated road with
new heating appliances for use of steam
from the locomotive is progressing
rapidly and the greater part of the work
has alre ldy been done. Three styles of
heaters have been adopted but all work
on the same principle.
Two drums under the car in the mid
die with several pipes running from
these comprise what is known as the
Disc drum system.
Then there is the Leland heater which
has small cylinders, two of which heat a
car. There are several pipes in each
cylinder, and through one of them the
water goes. The steam enters the cylin-
ders through another and the tempera-
ture forces the heated water up through
the pipes and through the car. The
cylinder is concealed in a box under the
car floor.
The Safety system is on the same plan
us the two others, except that the steam
chest is considerably longer.
Cars are taken off the road from time
to time and placed in the shops, where
they are fitted with the appliances As
fast as one consignment is finished,
another set is brought in. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will be finished by
about November 1. The Baker heaters
will be retained and in case anything
should happen to the new heating appa-
ratus whereby it would fail to heat the
car the Baker heaters can be used.

Postmaster General Wanamaker
says in regard to the more rapid de-
livery of mail matter:
"It is evident that if the problem of
expediting deliveries were the only
consideration, boxes could be found
readily enough; for if, as Is estimated,
the quarter part of the time of the
carrier is wasted waiting for persons TO
come to doors or windows to receive
mail matter, the number of dell, eiles
in given town could be increased by
a quarter, or surely by fifth, which
would be considerable gain"
There is no question as to the cor
reetness of this. Carriers are fire.

Nell pull to notify the inmates that

Economy. Bosh! We have had enough
of that skinflint philosophy which
takes it for granted that niggardliness
is virtue. That great newspapers
like the New York World and Herald
should keep upa constant whine about
the large expenditures for pensions
and talk about the "billion dollar Con-
gress" as though q Congress that would
appropriate billion dollars to the uses
of the country was eces sarily a Tad

Gus, penny wise gang of old fossils in

demnation even than an unduly ex.
travagant Congress.
