watch which belonged to his father,
and inquired If they could advise him

chased ten minutes search in the
record book gave the necessary inform
alton, viz, that the date was 1855. BY
a strange coincidence the entry Of the
date of purchase proved to be in the
handwriting of our lately deceased
townsman, S. d. Bowers, who acquired
a knowledge, under the late Everard
Benjamin, of the jewelry business, in
which line he afterward engaged and
acquired fortune. The movement of
the watch was imported by the late Mr.
Benjamin and was enclosed in a case of
solid gold, distinction not usual in the
days when this watch was purchased,

INTEREST REDUCED.

New Haven Savings Banks to Give a
Lower Percentage.
The New Haven savings banks have
1t is practically decided, to reduce the
interest rate. Some time ago there was
quite question among the managers
of savings banks as to whether or not
the banks could legally discriminate in
the payment of dividends to the depos-
itors. To settle the point the banks
had a bill passed which affects section
1916 of the general statutes.
1t has come to be very hard matter
for the savings banks to find loans with
security which will net them enough to
nay the expenses consequent to the
loan, meet the running expenses of the
institution and pay the depositors per
cent. Most banks find that they must
get about per cent. to cover their eX-
penses and pay the required per cent.

good security can get money at a much
less figure than per cent. and fire.

WASHINGTON, Dec. flowing to
the Washington memorial services held

currency bill.
By unanimous consent a bill was
passed to extend the time for the ex-
animation of monthly accounts by bu-
reaus and officers Of the War Depart

The debate on the currency bill was
tame and prosaic, and none Of the
speeches made attracted special atten-
ton
Sibley CD of Pennsylvania, who had
publicly announced his change of
views on the money question, and who
it was thought might vote for the bill,
stated that he would vote against it.
