CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. IS, via Phil
ippopolis, Dec. 10, 1S95.-The correspond
ent of the United Press learns that over
jealous Turkish officials in Bitlis and
aarpoot are attempting to obtain sig
natures to papers duplicating Americans
in revolutionary movements against the
authority of THE Turkish government. The
Porte would hardly dare to accuse AM
ericans of such action, as the accusations
could be easily disproved in case America
should demand an inquiry, which she
certainly would. The Porte has forbid
den Turkish newspapers to make SINH
lar accusations.

WATER FOR EVERYBODY.
The Six Public Drinking Fountains
Will BE in Operation Tomorrow.

The authority given by the City Council
TO erect six public drinking fountains and
supply them with ice water through the

KENT & STANLEY CO.
Six Months of Prosperity Has Put the
Firm on Its Feet.

The incorporators of the Kent & Stanley
Company Qimited) held an adjourned
meeting yesterday afternoon and elected
the other subscribers To the preferred
stock as associate members OF the com
pany. After accepting the charter granted
by the General Assembly they elected Mr..
T.. &. Huxley treasurer pro tenn. and au-
thorized him TO call for the payment of 80
per cent. of the cash subscriptions, ac-
cording TO the terms OF reorganization.
Later, notices will be issued to all the
stockholders to meet and choose officers
and a board OF directors
The annual meeting OF the stockholders
of the old Kent q Stanley Company was
also held yesterday afternoon and largely
attended. To the surprise of all, IL was
seen that under Mr.. Huxley's management
the concern has made money during the
past SIX months.
Ii will be remembered that the new
company was formed with a capital of
$500, 600, of which $500, 900, which has been
practically subscribed, is preferred stock,
leaving s2t9, 500 common stock TO be
divided among the old stockholders. The
preferred stock has been sold TO cash sub
scribers and creditors for So cents on the
dollar, which is a remarkably low price,
and, the stock being worth par, practi-
cally means two dividends in advance.
So favorably received was this plan that
some of the old creditors have taken the
whole amount of their claims in the pre-
ferred stock.
1t will be appreciated, under these con-
ditions, that the new company starts off
with the most brilliant prospects and it
is authoritatively stated that the preferred
is sought for as an exceptionally good in
ypgtmput.

APPEAL TO The VETERANS.
Department Commander Reminds
Them of Their Duty to Comrades.

Department Commander Daniel X. Bal
lou of the Grand Army of the Republic
in this State has issued with his schedule
of dates for visits in the "Grand
Rounds" the following stirring appeal
to the veterans:
COMRADES One OF the honored GUS
toms of this Department which has be-
come an institution of peculiar interest
and value, is that of the annual Grand
Rounds, which furnishes the department
commander and staff the opportunity of
visiting the several posts for the two-fold
purpose OF promoting the cultivation of
a more fraternal spirit among the COM
rades, and for awakening If possible
greater degree of interest in the work OF
our noble association.
The great fear of the friends of the de-
partment is, that with the declining years
of the comrades their gathering in
firmities, they will come to neglect their
duties TO the post by staying away from
its meetings, and leaving ii TO Others to
carry on the work. Do not attempt TO
justify your inaction by shifting your
obligation upon your comrades. -"Stand
by those who stood by you. - Now is the
time when your comrades more than ever
before need your sympathy If not your as
sistance.
This Is the most critical period in the
entire history OF the Grand Army of the
Republic. 1t is a time in the life of every
when he is most likely to incur the ne
cessity OF its usefulness. Consider what
it has done for thousands of your COM
rades, living and dead. 1t has, with un-
pretending charity, all unknown to the
world, found its way as well into the
homes of the widow and the fatherless as
OF the old soldier, and there relieved the
pangs of hunger and distress. 1t has
fingered at the bedside of the sick and
dying comrade, and ministered to his
comfort and tenderly soothed him in his
last moments.
Think, my comrades, of the thousands
OF our noble boys who wore the blue,
and braved the deadly perils of the battle
field that the Union and Liberty might be
preserved, who are today struggling
against fearful odds to keep even with
the world. What will become of these
should our noble associations of the
GrandArmy fail them for want OF your
support? Remember your obligations of
fidelity and loyalty TO its great principles
Rally to the support of your commander
and staff in the Grand Rounds. Let us look
in each others eyes, line up and touch
elbows, giving back TO one another, as
we press forward, words of hope and
cheer.

Fence.
One Man Who Sat Upon 1t
Killed by Electricity.
A Companion Went to His Assistance
and Was Knocked SenseIess.
A Little Girl Attracted to the Fallen

CHICAGO, Ill, July rs. William Pierce
was instantly killed and Louis Anderson
and Ruth Hart, the latter q years old,
were seriously injured in peculiar man
ner last night in Evanston. Tuesday
nights storm dismantled nearly all the
electric light poles in Evanston and the
wires fell everywhere. Yesterday most of
them were replaced, but one which had
fallen across an iron fence was overlooked.
The two men were delivering ice at the
point where this wire was left, and while
Anderson was going into the yard Pierce
sat down on the fence to rest. His hands
and clothing were wet and the instant he
touched the fence he fell across it dead.
Anderson went TO his assistance, and in
attempting TO lift the body from the fence
was rendered unconscious. The Hart
girl saw the two men lying on the side
walk and went up 20 look at them. She
touched the wire with her hand and was
soon lying on the sidewalk with Pierce
and Anderson. IL is thought that Ander-
son and the Hart child will recover,
although they are in a very serious con-
dition. Hundreds of persons had been
passing within few feet of the danger

NEW MONEY ORDER BLANK.

The posto.,ice department at Washing
ton has adopted new form OF money
order blanks They went into effect on
July !, but the Providence Office will not
have them until the old blanks, of which
there are several books, ere used up. The
new style embodies two or three improve
ments intended principally for the con-
yenience OF the Office, rather than the
patrons. They also come in book or
block form, but the books are half the
width OF the old ones, the advices being
written on n coupon side OF the order,
instead OF underneath. This necessarily
makes the order blanks smaller and may
require the clerks TO write a small hand.
Also the endorsement OF the receiver Is
made on the back of the check, instead
OF the face.
