THE SALE STOPPED.
The Syndicate Handling the New Five
Per Cents Dissolved.
Treasury Officials Peculiar Action and Cur
rency Agitation the Cause.

New York. Dec. 27-The banking firm
in charge oNIhe government Dond syno.-
cate sent out the following notice, this al
ternoon, to members:
"The action of the United States treas
ury on currency questions having stopped
the progress in the sale of the bonds for
the account of the five per cent. bond syn
dicate. and the period of 80 days mentioned
in the notice of Nov. 2 having expired, the
syndicate is dissolved.
The agitation about currency reform
and the number of peculiar suggestions
made by certain government officials ana
members of Congress, it is said, has weak
ened the market for government bonds
generally, and the price for the new fives
has in consequence been depressed below
the syndicate figure.
Vice President Garland of the First Ma
tional Bank, said: SIN dissolving the
syndicate, the parties to it took into con-
sideration the unsettlement OF the market
for bonds, due to the offering to Congress
of the currency plan of Sec. Carlisle, which
by its provisions would have compelled
national banks to dispose of at least $2OO,
900, 600 of bonds on or before July l, 1890.
With such possible block OF bonds to
come on the market, the question OF con-
tinuing the agree ment to hold the bonds
was not even thought OF.
Mr.. Galrand said that the amount OF
bonds the syndicate intended to dispose OF
to the public, and which were still unsold,
aggregated about $50, 900, 600.

live in the surf, but when the tide fell off
the life saving crew succeeded in getting
a line to them. Before the breeches buoy
could be got into operation, the cook be-
came exhausted and fell into the sea- His
body was washed ashore. The remainder
of the crew seven in number, were safely

WHAT OTHERS AaE SAYING.

IL is very significant that the Demo
cratic papers are not deyoting the least
attention to who shall be the Democratic
candidate for president in 1896; they
spend all their energies in selecting Re
publican candidate; perhaps they will all
support that candidate. -[Dover Republi-
can.
The demand of the farmers that they
shall be paid by the state the full value OF
COWS ordered to be killed by the state In
spectors. who are trying to exterminate
tuberculosis, meets with almost universal
approval. But some evil-disposed person
proposes that the value of such COWS be
fixed by the return made by the owner to
the assessors last May. 1t is even limited
that the farmers have been in the habit of
Understanding the value of their herds
when the assessors came around.-[ Fitch
burg Sentinel.
1t may give satisfaction to some people
until they recall the cause of 1.-THE fact
that the amount annually paid out in
pensions is steadily going down. The
amount paid last year was $139, ,S4, 46l.
That was over s25, ,O00, 900 less than the ap-
preparation. Part of the decrease is ac-
counted for by the fact that soldiers
orphan children are now to a great extent
past the pension age. But the thought
comes with a shadow of melancholy that
the chief cause is the constantly increasing
leath rate of the old boys The ranks
have begun to thin and close up.-[Keene
Sentinel
The non-stickable postage stamps which
ire provided by the United States for its
'etter writers have slipped off at such an
alarming rate that the New York post
flee officials have ordered clerks to stick
IN again those that are found loose in the
etter boxes. In view of the great delay
n sending letters which has been expert
,nced since the non -stickable stamps were
adopted, movement has been started to
make prepayment of postage optional.
This method obtains in all Of the larger
European countries, and is said to work
most satisfactorily; much better than oul
method of holding unpaid letters and no
flying the parties addressed. -LConcord

tide was low and the crew decided to re-
main aboard when assistance was
rendered by the life saving crew.
When the tide began to rise and the
wind increased, the waves dashed over
the cabin and they signalled for assistance.
The breeches buoy was got out and the
entire crew rescued after the life savers
were nearly exhausted. The vessel is badly
damaged, but it is thought that after the
cargo is discharged the vessel can be
floated

TO PROBE THE POLICE.
= Grand Jurymen VIII Ignore Fell
lows and Heed Judge Cowing.


+. It was learned this morning that in
spite Of the Strenuous exertions which
have been made by District-Attorney
Fellows to ward Off the investigation of
the police. the Grand Jury has deter
mined to follow the instructions given by
Judge Rufus B. Cowing in his charge
on the frst Monday of this month, and
will look into the charges of bribery and
corruption.
From this on news of important action
by the Grand Jury in the police cases
may be looked for. At any time indict-
ments OF police captains sergeants and
edward men may be handed in and
warrants issued for their arrest.
1t was said this morning that It was
not the reporters who were most to be
age OF Grand Jury secrets, but spies of
the Police Department, aud that 1t
was for that reason that such extra
ordinary precautions are being taken
to surround the Grand Jury room with
every possible bar to the attainment of
information by outsiders.
