THEY CAN REVISE.

Power of the Comm issioners Over the Esti-
mates of the Superintendent of Charities.
Some time ago the superintendent Of chari-
ties. in a letter to the Commissioners. called at
tention to their rulings under the act creating
the Office of superintendent OF charities that
they had not tine right TO modify the annual
estimates made by tina. official The superin-
.endent OF charities called attention to the fact
that contingencies might arise in which this
would be a question of considerable import
ance. and suggested that the opinion of the
assistant attorney for the District be called for
upon the question. Assistant Attorney 5. T..
Thomas sent his opinion IL, tue matter to the
Commissioners this morning. He holds that
the law creating the Office OF superintendent of
charities conters upon the Commissioners the
right to revise that officials annual estimates.

A MOBILE BANK FAILS.

Request Of the Management.

Examiner Campbell Takes Charge At the
Request of the Management.
At the request Of the officers of the Alabams
National Bank Of Mobile, Bank Examiner b. J.
Campbell visited the bank and has directed the
institution to close its doors. This step was
not unexpected in financial circles, and came
nearly being taken in December last, when the
knowledge of the condition of the bank caused
the depoits to fall off very rapidly, and what
are left can be paid inside of sixty days, the
bank having now about So per cent on hand OF
the amount necessary to hquidate all claims,
The remainder and more is amply secured.
There will be no losses on the part of tn,
depositors.
F. H. Clergue. president. is said to be the
cause of all the trouble. He. it is alleged, Ia,
used between Sc, 900 and SEC, COO of the bank
money, and efforts made during the past sixty
days to obtain a settlement have failed. This
management of the bank decided that the bes
way to place the institution on its feet woulc
be to call on the controller of the currency fol
an examination.
The bank examiner states that several DAYS
will be required to determine the true condi.
ton of the institution.

THE TROLLEY OUT OF DATE.
A System Of inexpensive Underground
Wires for Railroads.


Wires for Railroads.
A special to the New York Times from Hart
ford, Conn, says: The problem Of under
ground wires for electrical railways has been
solved in this city, and section of street rail-
road here is now in running condition by the
new system. The underground equipment has
been down AL winter, with the horse cars run
ming over it constantly, and in no case has the
slightest danger been experienced by contact
with it The wires are midway between the
tracks. The severest winter that has been ex-
perienced here in years has not affected the ap-
paratus and the circuit has not been inter-
rupted. The placing Of the wires under ground
will not cost much more than installing the
trolley lines.
The inventor Of the system, James F. Munsie.
was the first superintendent Of the Canadian
Pacific telegraph lines; before that he was
SUPERINTENDENT Of the Dominion lines. and
made the land connections with the Atlantic
cable at Cape Canso. He prepared the esti-
mates for the Gould American Union lines. In
all of these positions he showed ability Of a
high order. For years he has been working on
the problem Of producing q system OF under
ground wires which may be relied upon in
every emergency of storm and change Of tenn
perature, and at the same time be perfectly
safe for the travelling public. The expert
ments which have terminated successfully,
have been conducted under the city govern
ment

exists in the public mind regarding the pro-
duct Fresh oleo, he said, will not only keep
thirty to sixty days. but is far preferable to
rancid butter worked over with fresh butter in
order to make it salable. Had it not been for
oleo. he said. butter would have been 80 cents
instead Of 80 and 40 this winter and the poorer
classes would have been shut out entirely. In
