Arrested For Fraudulent DeaIings.

S. T. Spencer, a piano tuner, who
claims to come from Burlington, was ar
rested Monday night by Officer Killilea at
Turner'S Falls. Spencer has been working
dead-beat games for some time, and Sun
day City Marshal Philbrick came from
Keene to look for him. DIR. Best was en-
countered and asked to cash a check on a
Connecticut bank. The man claims to be
a Mason and said he wanted to borrow
money to get to Burlington. The doctor
invited him to step into his Office and
while they were talking the officers came
and took him away. He had unpaid bills
at the Millers Falls Inn, the American
House at Greenfield and at the Montague
hotel. Spencer was in the sewing machine
and organ business at Bennington last
February and skipped from that town,
leaving his wife and two children.

American silver Under Roxcott.

Since the first of the present month the
Montreal banks, street railways, cabmen
and shops have declined to receive Amer
lean silver coins and silver certificates.
The large hotels and the Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific roads, running
through American territory and doing an
extensive American business, still accept
American money, as they are able to pay
it out to American guests and tourists re-
turning home; but elsewhere in Canada
American silver and in many cases Ameri-
can paper money, other than greenbacks,
are refused. The boycott extends to the
newsboys and bootblacks. 1t is due en-
tirely to the Chicago platform and fear of
Bryan's election.
