The G Fl IL ID Ry are contemplate
ing the use OF compressed air rs motor
FOR their new system OF suburban travel.
This line Is pushing out in all dlrec-
lions and 1T is their intention 10 haye
lhe best service in the west. So far as
outlined, the plan of the @ I'll & ID Ry,
Is to use the IA miles of track, from
Hamilton to Middletown, which WAS
built and used for Woodsdale leland
business, and connect this track with
the street railway system of Middletowu
which the Q II & ID recently purchased.
From Middletown To Franklin. seyen
miles, the company have their own
right-o there is already street
railway system in Franklin, and it is
proposed to make a traffic arrangement
with this line, thus saving expense Of
dividing profits. Between Hamilton
and Cincinnati, the future has not yet
been fully determined. There are now
50 passenger trains daily, over the G II
~ d Ry between These two points. III
An electric or compressed air line of
cars were to be run between Cincinnati
and Hamilton, another track would in
all probability he built. What has been
outlined anu practically agreed upon
regarding The Middleton, Hamilton and
Franklin service, will hold good else
where, wherever the patronage OF the
g "A & d Ry demands better service,
the object being to make arrangements,
where IT is possible to do 30, with exist
ing street railway. If the G III & ID Ry
adopts the compressed air plan, IL will
follow it all the way through, taking
advantage of its uses for switch moving
street car lines, branches. and in fact
everything. This will place the line oI
tho @ II & ID Ry on footing with East
ern cities. The move OF the 9 FL 81 L
Ry 10 now 10 look after the extension o.
all their branch lines-that is the small
branches reaching places, close to the
main line, from Cincinnati, through
Hamilton, Dayton and Lima TO Toledo

Government Money Regulations.

There are ten different kinds of
money in the United States, namely:
Gold coins, standard silver dollars, sub
sidiary silver, gold certificates, silver
certificates, treasury notes issued under
the act OF July IL, 1890, United States
notes (nlso called greenbacks and legal
tcndera), national bank notes and nick
els and bronze coins. These forms of
money, according to the United States
treasury circular, are all available as
circulation. While they do not all pos
scss the full legal tender quality, each
kind has such attributes as to give it
currency. The status of each kind in
as follows: Gold coin is legal tender at
it's nominal or face value for all debts,
public and private, when not below the
standard weight and limit of tolerance
prescribed by law, and when below
such standard and limit of tolerance it
is legal tender in proportion to it's
weight. Standard silver dollars are
legal tender at their nominal or face
value in payment of all debts, public
and private, without regard to the
amount, except where otherwise cX-
prcssy stipulated in the contract. Sub
sidiary silveris cgal tender for amounts
rot exceeding $40 in any one payment.
Treasury notes, of the act of July Ia,
1890, arc legal tender for all debts, pub
lie ard private, except when otherwise
stipulated in the contract. United
States notes are legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except duties
on imports and interest on the public
debt. Gold certificates, silver cer-
tificates and national bank notes are
not legal tender, but both classes of GER
tiiicates arc receivable for all public
dues, while national bank notes are re-
ceivable for all public dues, except
duties on imports, and may be paid out
by the government for all salaries and
other debts and demands owing by the
United States to individuals, corpora
tions and associations within the
United States, except interest on public
debt, and in redemption of the national
currency. All national banks are re-
quired by law to receive the notes of
other national banks at par. The minor
coins of nickel and copper are legal ten
der to the extent of 25 cents.

About twice week reports from
Turkey state that from 20o to 1000
Arinenians have been massacrcd in one
or another part OF the su!tan's domin-
ions. Any otbreall involving less
than 100 lives does not seem to be con-
sidcred worth reporting; but as it is
scarcely possible that the spirit of muir
der which has been let loose among the
savage Turks and Kurds can be re.
strained and regulated so that all the
killing shall be done by wholesale, sc
to speak, it is probable that innumer-
able outragcs on a smaller scale are oc.
curing all the time. BY and by, says
an eastern exchange, the sultan will
have the satisfaction of seeing his
Asiatic province free from Armeniana
and the next hing he knows he will
find them occupied by Russians.

EXPLOSIVE CONFECTIONERY.

Why 1t Would Not Be Popular In
America.
The supper is as much part of the
dance as the music, and country club
governors and dancing class patron
esses may be interested to learn that
the very latest fad for the ball supper
is kind of explosive confectionery.
For large parties il takes the form of
"bastilles," or fortified towers, which
are made up of nougat; the fortress,
when blown up, appearing to dissolve
in morsels of toothsome sweetmeat.
FOR smaller entertainments are manu-
factured grenades of chocolate which
the inventor recommends to the public
in the following pompous prospectus:
mo repast is complete without the
new explosive grenade made of choco-
nate or sugar, which can now be OBJ
fained in all the principal countries in
Europe. Ny grenadcs are protected
by decree of the Nancy court Of JUS
hce. All that is necessary is to light
the wick placed at the top in order to
produce the explosion, which throws
upon the table a quantity of comfts,
puns, mottoes, charades, photos, snr-
prises, pieces OF music, etc. From the
center of the grenade there will come
put an inner one, out of which will
bpring n manillin holding banner
with this inscription: The best dessert

CREDITORS WILL NOT WAIT.
Settlement Of Affairs Demanded Of
DR.. j. e. Moore.

LACONIA N. H., Jan. 24-Insolvency
papers have been filed against the Halifax
mills company and DR.. J. c. Moore, with
Register of Probate Fred A. Young. In an
interview DR.. Moore expressed his approval
Of the action taken, AS 1t would put stop to
the attempted larceny OF one Of his principal
assets, which should be protected for the
benefit of his creditors. He said:
~ have made every effort to protect prop
erty In the interest of the creditors, believ-
ing much more could be realized for,them In
that way. Not having received sufficient en-
couraxement. insolvency is the only course
left. Most of my creditors have co-operated
with Inc. while some preferred to hold, and
some have acted with the conspirators to de.
stroy the value Of my assets.
Now that this step has been taken as soon
as may be, shall publish a statement sup
ported by indisputab!e documentary evidence
which will show the public the losses have
sustained myself in the past three years of
unexampled business depression.
Few people have any comprehension of the
struggle have made and however faulty
my course may have appeared to be, 1t has
been to meet the constant and pressing de-
mands OF creditors who have shown no mercy,
as rule. believe no one accuses me of u.s.
ing money In any extravagunces Of my own.
While am free to adm having made SER
ious mistakes, l shall ut least be able to show
that nave USeu AL my resources ana all tue
money have received in legitimate business
enterprises that have given employment to
many hundreds of people for many years, and
not in speculations.
1t is n matter Of sincere regret that the ef.
forts of DR.. Moore to get n compromise with
The Halifax mills creditors has not been sue
cessful. He has made every effort to do so,
and while most Of the large creditors had
agreed to the proposition. there were enough
who refused to prevent its contamination. II
been IN full operation again very soon. These
mills were one Of the largest industries in
the city. and their stoppage Is II great loss to
the community. The mills have paid out
nearly 100000 per year. and this has been
uninterrupted the past three years during the
dull period.

then with his rife beneath his arm AMI his
hand on the trigger turned to speak to his
brother. George, who was standing ON a little
platform outside the shed door. The rife in
some way was discharged, and the bullet en-.
tered the right side OF Georges nose, Just be-
low the eye. went through the head, coming
out about three inches from the right ear
and burying itself in the easing OF :he she'd
George fell In his track. The Goffstown se-
lectmen were nOtifled,and Messrs. Morgrange
md Martin responded. Samuel was not ar.
rested, as the affair was purely accidental.
The young man is nearly distracted.

man aud built like an athlete. Until a short
time ago. he had been employed at Leonard
