A Portsmouth man is the possessor of

1t is said that the total loss by reason of

will exceed $4,000.
Internal revenue collections for the New
Hampshire district, which comprises the
states of Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont, for the month Of February were
S30,701. This is an increase of nearly
$1,000 over the corresponding month Of
1895.
An understanding has been reached
whereby Rev. A. j. Hough, member of the
Vermont Methodist conference, will be
transferred to New Hampshire, and located
next year at Claremont. Mr.. Hough is an
Englishman by birth, and has been one of
the most popular preachers of the Vermont
conference, and has been for the past year
in Brattleboro.
1t is rumored on excellent authority that
Keene parties will control one Of New
England's most fully equipped bicycle fac
tories as well as the entire output of the
wheel it manufactures. The necessity OF
running the factory at present on full time
to supply this seasons demands will pre-
vent removal of the works to Keene until
fall.

Must Vacate its Charter,

The New Hampshire bank commissioners
have reported to Gov. Busiel their exami-
nation of the affairs of the Granite State
Provident association of Manchester, n. III.
They find deficit of S261,91S. They
report that if to TIE deficit is added the
sum of S54S,672, the amount of dues taken
for expenses and fines, $685. is found
as the amount the association must earn in
order to pay back to members what they
paid in, and the question when the shares
can be matured in accordance with the as
sociation's published plans is not worth
dwelling upon. as it is apparent that the
earning power OF the association can never
accomplish it, and the shares can only be
matured by receipts from new members.
The total liabilities are figured at 49,
