heretofore paid an aggregate of 80 per
cent dividend, and the receiver now thinks
that from the outlook he will be able to
pay at least 10 per cent more, making an

better than was feared at first, although
the loss of interest for five years, and a
quarter of the principal is an important

A new boiler for Towns hotel was re-
ceived yesterday. The old boiler was
! thoroughly tested under full pressure few
weeks ago and found to be in excellent con-
dition. When it was wanted to heat the
building since the contractors were through
their work it was found there was d large
crack in it, and that it was worthless for
use. new one was ordered, which has
but just arrived. The defect of the old
boiler was in no way attributable to the
fire, which did not reach it. This unex-
| pected obstacle has necessitated an annoy
ing delay in the opening Of the hotel, which
Mr.. Boutelle hopes will not be for many
days.
