Restoration Accepted.

The resignation of A. G. Darcy, president
of the board of election supervisors for
Prince Georges county. was yesterday &C.
copied by Governor Lowndes, through Sec
ietary of State Dallam. Mr.. Darcy sent in
his resignation last week, alleging that, as
he believed there was gross unfairness in
the recent primaries. and since he was
heartily in accord with the boiling republic
cans, he would not care to be one of the
judges whose province it will be to decide
which ticket should be recognized.
After sending in his resignation he asked
that he be allowed to withdraw 1T, but Gov
ernor Lowndes refused the request.

TO THE HOLDERS OF
BOSTON
UNITED GAS BONDS
First and Second Series,

Since my first connection with
Boston Gas affairs, at which time
first series bonds sold Mt 60, second
series at 40, l have constantly adj
vised their purchase for investment
and speculation. 1 have unquali-
fiedly stated that they would not
pass interest and would eventually
sell at par. During the two years
when the Gas war ragged and these
bonds were in bad repute, with
hardly a friend in financial circles,
l staked my reputation on their
worth.
l have placed over five millions
OF bonds with the present owner RS.
These bonds, if sold at anything
like present prices, would give
large profits to those who sell them.
l had hoped never to be called
upon to advise their sale.
1t is perhaps pardonable under
existing conditions for me to call
attention to the fact that I ought
to know the worth of these bonds.
AS Vice President and Director of
the five Boston Gas Companies, I
have had an opportunity to know
the properties, the past, present,
and probable future of the Gas
business in Boston: as broker,
their investment and speculative
position, and as officer in charge
of the many and intricate nego-
tiations that have been undertaken
or consummatedI understand their
status. legal and otherwise.
unquaIified|y advise all holders
Of Boston United Gas Bonds, First
and Second Series, to sell them at
anything like present market prices.
Occurrences Of the last sixty
days in my opinion have seriously
under mined these bonds, and
events which will eliminate within
the next few days I know will put
in jeopardy not only their interest
but their principal. As my rela-
tions with the entire matter will
not PERM it me to say more at the
present time. I trust hat those
holders who have acquired their
bonds because of my advice will
bear in mind that nothing but the
most exceptional and dangerous
conditions would lead me to advise
them to termin ate their invest
ment without giving full reasons
for such advice.
Developments of a most startling
nature will take place in connec-
ton with Boston Gas affairs in a
few days. and this notice is hastily
given solely for the purpose of en-
abling those holders of bonds who
have a right to my advice to dis
pose of them.
