No meeting Of council was hold last

special meating OF council TO act Oh tho
contract, but there seemed to bD sOmo
objection 10 meeting before tho regular
night, which 10 next Tuesday, and no
call was issued. Lato last night, how.
ever, Mayor Caldwell Issued n call for II
session this evening. 1t was issued at
tho request Of the fro department com.
mlttce, but tho call is for general bust.
ncss, 80 that anything may botaken up.
Whatever Is dono in regard to rcplac.
Ing tho wrecked engine should DO done
quickly. as II the Ahrcns poo Pile do not

nonantion for tho use OF tholr substitute

copIing their offer quickly, II AZ all. The
company has M engine similar TO tue

natl fire department. but it is said il

can have her now engine in service in
thirty days from the timc tho order Is
placed. II the other engine Is painted
up ana delivered to Cincinnati 1t will
require about ninety days TO construct
II second one for this city.
Another matter which might suggest
the need Of Il full attendance ut the
special meeting OF council tonight is
tho pending ordinance approptiating
the tan.ccnt levy fund to the different
improvements about town. The sooner
this ordinance is passed, tho sooner the
board OF public works cat begin work
on the sewers paving, ETC.. furnishing
employment to many mon and assuring
the completion OF the work before tho
seaso Is ended. Tho great difficulty
has been in past years that work was
commenced so late that 1t had to DO
rushed through in the TALL. or allowed
TO 20 We ill another season.
In addition to all this ia tho proposed
city loan ordinance. 1t will require
three or four months. probably, after
such an ordinance is adopted by council
to submit II to the people and have il,
ratified and tho bonds issued and sold,
so that it will DO well on in the fall be-
fore tho money can be available. Every
week counts in n matter Of that sort,
and there should be Il full attendance

along.

The million Cancelled postage stamp
collection which some one is always
trying to make, Notwithstanding the
vehement protest of Uncle Sam that
they are worth no more than any other
waste paper, has led to q very embar-
raising international postal complica-
ton in Illinois. Some one started
collection of cancelled postage stamps
by means of that philanthropic black
mail scheme known as the "chain sys-
tenn" 1t worked SO successfully That
the house, the barn, the corn crib of
the crippled girl they were to benefit
we're soon filled with Cancelled Ameri-
can stamps. Then the "chain" spread
to Europe, and the letters continue to
come in by the thousands. 80 many
of these letters have not the full post
age paid that it is estimated it costs
the Government $40 day in losses,
as the girl simply refuses tc take such
letters as were not fully prepaid out of
the Office, and the Postoffice Depart
ment can do nothing but return them
to the Dead-letter Office. Already
5000, 900 stamps have been received,
aud still they come, and nobody knows
how to stop them.

Bank Cashier Makes Good a Big
Deficit.
ID. W. Lane of Manchester Was SIi,-
900 short.

CONCORD,N. H.. Dec. II Another SEN
satiUn remains 90 be added 10 those connected
with the career Of DIR. J. {. Moore Of Man
chester. After lying quiet for a month the
secret has leaked out tuat ID. Warren Lane.
cashier Of the Merchants National Bank OF
Manchester. has been found to have short
age of Sii 900 in his accounts. lie has re
signed and turned all his property over to
the bank, being iett pcnuiiess.
DR.. Moore was president OF the National
Bank Of the Commonwealth. the Derryheld
savings Bank and the Peoples Fire Iusur-
ance Company, all OF which went 10 pieces
during the panic OF two wears ago. Chas. F.
Morrill,, cashier OF the bank and treasurer Of
the insurance company, Is now dciau.ter.
Cashier Lanes shortage was Incurred by
holding and carrying drafts Ot Moore un-
known to the officials OF the bank. These
drafts were drawn on the bank Boston cor
respondent. the National Bank Of Redemp-
tipn, and were honorcd when presented 10
cashier Lane. At the time of the semi-an-
uual examination of the bank, November . Of
the present year, there was supposed to be a
balance Of 80 900 in the hands OF the Bos-
ton correspondent. The examination, how
ever. showed only $1,000.
Cashier Lane confessed to the shortage
and produced the drafts Of DIR. Moore. He
turned over to the bank all his personal prop
crty. This covered the shortage. with the
exception Of ~ 500, which was made good by
Mr.. Lanes bJndsmeu.
Mr.. Lane is 81 years Old, and is one of the
most respected citizens Of Manchester. He
had been connected with the bank since 1855,
and had been cashier since its organization
rs a national bank. He is broken down i'll
health and spirit. and the sympathy Of the
whole city Is extended to him in his mis-
fortune. Il has not been a gamer by one
cent.

THOUGHT INSANE.
Patricidc Hurd May Be Sent To
Asylum.

BIDDEFORD Me, Dec. I-Alfred J.
Hurd. the soi-confessed murderer of his
father James NJ. HUrd. absolutely refused to
discuss the tragedy. Chief Harmon feared
that the patrioide would commit suicide and
assigned an officer to watch him.
Oflicer Hanson went to the cell and asked
the prisoner several questions. but II don't
want to tax was all he would say Mrs.
Huri says that when Alfred was an infant
physician told her that he was likely to have
a mental trouble He had explained TO her
that the formation Of his head was peculiar
and that the most OF the brain matter was
crowded into the front of the head. She had
never thought that he was crazy, but he had
acted strangely for some time.
1t is said that Hurd's head is shaped like
the picture of the murderer in the book he
had been reading. While attending a busi-
ness college in Portland. in 1891, he fell in
love with a young woman student. He kept
company with her for little while, but later
she transferred her affections t. another and
has since been married. Young Huri took
the matter very much to heart. and it is said
that he never appeared the same afterwards
That the murder was not committed on the
spur of the moment the officers are confident.
His confession would indicate that he had
planned the murder to the most minute de-
tail Hurd, in his confession, said that he
had on night shirt when he struck the fatal
blow, but this statement the officers are in
clined to doubt, as after the most careful ex-
animation of the shirt they Lave been unable
to find blood upon the garment On the
floor about the bed were great pools Of blood
while the woodwork of the bed and the walls
OF the room were spattered. Had he worn a
a night shirt it would surely have been
spattered with blood.

SAYS NEITHER WILL LOSE.
DR.. j. c. Moore Asserts Bank Mat
ters We're Arranged Weeks Ago.

MANCHESTER, y. H., Dec. 1.-THE fol-
lowing statement has been telegraphed by
DR.. j. {. Moore in reference to the published
statements concerning the cashier Lane mat
ter:
LAKEPORT, n. II The stories published
in relation to the Merchants bank matter
have some foundation in fact. but are largely
misrepresentation and nearly all miscon-
ceived, Besides, whatever there was to 1t was
arranged weeks ago between the parties in
interest. and neither the bank or Mr.. Lane
are complainauts and neither will lose
anything. As to the statements regarding
the Union Publishing Company there is
hardly sembance of truth in them,
whether referring to an Indebtedness or
anything else All changes which have
been made have been at my suggestion
with everything amicable. This, too might
properly be left to parties in interest. and
certainly ordinary courtesy would suggest
the proprety of leaving the affairs Of my
ward to be adjusted in the proper place. My
affairs are and have been complicated, but
sensational newspaper misrepresentation
can hardly be considered fair or as helpful in
bringing about an Improvement.

the meeting al 10 q N. After prayer by Rev.
Caroline J.. Angel OF Norway. Hon. j. 4.
Roberts. master Ot Norway grange, made an
address Of welcome. W. H.Niut0n responded,
saying that dairying Is now the controlling
business Of Maine and produces fewer insol-
vents than other yOsatiJus.
Prof. G.. W. GOwell, president of the state
college, made the address Of the forenoon on
"Our Dairy interests Maine can produce
the best butter in New England, he said. We
should improve its present quality. Maine
has the best dairy stock, more jerseys. and j.
improving in capacity and quality, but Yer
mont butter brings higher prices in Boston.
Why? In Vermont the milk. almost warm
from the COW, is passed through separators
and the butter made from almost sweet
cream. In Maine the cream is collected more
slowly. So it turns sour, sometimes uncertain
in quality. Quicker collections and more
careful operations will result in higher
prices.
In the afternoon Prof. Ii. W. Conn of Wes-
leyan university delivered an address on
"ltecent Innovations in Cream Eipeniug
Everybody. he said, i interested in good
butter. The delicate flavor and aroma Of
good butter is the result Of proper cream

bacteria in each cubic inch ofnev milk.
changing milk sugar to lactic acid, causing it
TO sour or deeompose. There are different
kinds of bacteria. some causing good butter,
others bad. Bad bacteria come mostly from
filth. Bad bacteria can be killed by heating
cream to $50 degrees.
