Trouble with the Constable.


Trouble with the Constable.
The trial of Dan Birran for assault
on Constable Burke was had yester-
day before Justice ]. NJ. Kennedy. Inc
defendant was represented by Attorney
English and Assistant County Attor-
nv winston appeared for the state.
The matter hinges on Birran's rights
in the shop attached, and he claims
to be the owner of all the property
there: that Gagnon, who owed the dept
on which the attachment was MADE,
has but a working interest. Birran set
up that he had right to defend MS
property from attachment for another
mans debt. The state held that the
defense would not hold. because IL the
defendants property was wrongIully
seized he had recourse against Ofhcer
Burke's bondsmen.
The evidence showed that the events
leading up to this case were very war
like in character. Birran had BRAN
dished a red hot iron around Burke s
head. and the latter had held revolt
yer at Birran in a way that was per-
suasive and threatening.
Rirran was fined S. and costs, but a
notice of appeal to the district court
was taken.

1t is an uncommon thing to learn of
persons reaching the age of Mrs. Emyle
HYDE Grinnell, and years OF GOOD
health come only to those who make
use of the very best means of keeping
well.
No one will wonder that the bright
eyed old lady, whose mind to-day is as
alert and clear as ever, should be anx-
ious for others to try Paine's celery
compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell was born
in Bennington, VT, July 6. 1896. and is
to-day living with her granddaughter,
the wife of Martin Fowler of Colches-
ert. VT, a beautiful town near Fort
Ethan Allen. Her father was a FARMER
and hotel keeper, and she lived upon
the farm until her marriage. Mrs.
Grinnell has none of the infirmities of
old age. She rises at daylight, works
about the house, and when the weather
will permit walk outdoors. Her eye
sight is so good that she threads a
needle and spends more houre croch-
citing and doing fancy work. she
keeps abreast of the times, and is re-
markably well-informed upon many
subjects. She declares that she does
not feel any older than she has foi
years, and If people half her age en-
| loved such good health as she they
would consider themselves fortunate
She has seven children, four boys ano
| three girls. two of whom are living to-
day. Mrs. Grinnell writes:
| Colchester, VT, Oct IL, 1885,

Paines celery compound is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength
and spent energies of men and women
advanced in years. 1t is the one prep
aration considered worthy the name OF
a true nerve food and blood remedy by
physicians throughout the country.
1t is prescribed by them in every state
in the Union to tone up the system,
regulate the nerves and restore health
and strength.
Nothing in the past has ever ap-
preached 1T in the power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength to the tired body. In severe
| cases of persistent headaches, dyspep-
| STA. neuralgia and sleeplessness, due
| to nervous feebleness, Paine's celery
compound has a record or rapid and
lasting cures that embraces every
city and town in the wide sweep of the
Hunted States.
It's remarkable power over disease
lies in it's active replacing of worn-ou'
| parts by new, healthy ones, and In fts
| healing and purifying action among
the most minute tissues of the body
| 1t searches out the weak parts at once
| and sets to work to build them up

Bradstreet's and Dun's Reports on the
Condition of Trade.

Condition of Trade.
New York, Jan. 10.-Bradstreet's
weekly review of the New York stock
market says: Speculative interests
were unquestionably somewhat dismay-
ed by the unexpected launching OF the
800 600, 900 government bond issue as a
,popular subscription. The principal
disturbance was the idea that the pc
riod of 80 days allowed for closing the
subscriptton would afford an opportu-
nifty for the further depletion OF the
gold reserve and for the development
of other unsettling factors. 1t was OBJ
served that while the public was TAX
ing no interest in speculation, and that
the hope of the booming tendency
which the sale of bonds to the Morgan
syndicate might have created had peen
defeated, there was no liquidation, and
the leading interests in the market,
while inclined to stand aside, had no
disposition to work ON the short side.
Further consideration of the matter led
also to several other important conclu-
sions. In the first place. III Is the opin-
| ION on the street that the Morgan bond
| syndicate Will not disband, but Will
| nut DIN a bid, wilh the chances in favor
| of it's obtaining the whole, or at any
rate. adj but a small portion, of the
bond Issue. The fact that the public,
| even If IL wants the bonds, cannot OBJ
| tain the gold with which to pay for
them, Is the Limitation of the popular
subscriptions, while banks which have
gold are more likely to act in connec-
tlon with the syndicate than to take
the alternative of paying a high prics
or of having their individual bids re-
jected.
The Withdrawals of gold from th'
treasury have not been excessive
amounting in all to 100000 or mor'
for the week, while there is evidenc'
that the treasury has armed itsel
against such depletion of its reserve b!
, agreement with certain New Yorl
banks to supply 1t with gold coin dur
ing the 80 days of suspense. The none,
market, though firm. has also calme'
down considerably, and though tn
gold exports for the week amounted 4
! SO. $50 900. (including s1.500,0 900 take
from the treausry two weeks ago an
held IL In the bankers vaults) the ex
change market Is not 50 active o
strong as to indicate a heavy outflow
These factors, therefore, asserted them
selves and caused a marked hardenin
of values throughout the balance {
the week. At the same time the maj
, ket has been very narrow, and the COY
ering of short contracts furnished th
bulk OF Hhe buying.
The foreign markets have been II
fiuenced almost entirely by the Trans
vana complications, and the Venezuela
question has been relegated to q
= background. This. with a less acu

mass Is somewhat retarded The pro-
posed sale of bonds offers ground Tor
confidence in the future, but no one IL
able to determine what its early ef-
fects may be in the money market, anu
for a time II is cause for hesitation
more than hopelessness. Speculation IN
nroducts has not been active. Wheat is
about 1 cent higher and corn the same
WITHOUT a distinct reason in each case,
for the government report, conforming
10 the commercial estimates of some
months ago, did not command great
confidence.
Wheat receipts at Western points
were almost double, being 2,SOo,TV2,
against ], 1905, 704 last year, but Atlantic
exports were a aittle larger than last
wear. Corn receipts are about a quar-
ter larger than last year, while Allan
tic exports are about four times as
large.
The industrial situation has not ma
ter-ially changed. There is much hesita-
,ion m the iron business, but some ad-
vance in Bessemer pig. Finished pro-
ducts of iron and steel are, on the
whole. quoted a little lower. Business
