LOCAL FINANCIAL NOTES.

Among Kimberley, Root & Days dis patches yesterday were the following:
 The Boston Electric Light company will pay a regular quarterly dividend of $2 per share July IA to stockholders of record June 30, 1900. The transfer books will be closed from June 30 to July IS.
 The Westinghouse Electric Manufac- turing company declared a quarterly dividend of 1% per cent on preferred stock payable July 2. Books close June 2l; open July 3.
 The announcement that the directors of the International Silver company de- cided not to declare a dividend on the preferred stock at the meeting yester- day came as a surprise, as statements were made officially when the first quarterly dividend of 1& per cent. was declared, over three months ago, that the preferred stock would undoubtedly receive regular quarterly dividends on the basis of per cent. per annum. There has been only one quarterly divi- dend declared on the stock, which was paid April 1, and amounted to about SS9,451, on the $5 800 outstanding stock. Vice President Hamilton said.
 
 the directors for deferring action on div idend matters was that this time of year weare making more goods than we are selling; the company, too, is also inclined to be little more conservative, owing to the political election this fall which may have some effect upon bus mess. The decision not to declare any dividend was by no means, however, a vote and a number of the directors thought the company was able to pay the preferred dividend without The company owes less money by s25O,O00 than it did on Janu- ary 1.

A Man With a Big Revolver Looking
 for Ills Wife


 Yesterday afternoon John R. Williams of No. 76 Olive street was in Shanleys s saloon on State street, near Chapel, and while there he displayed big revolver After he left the place some one who was there at the time went out to the corner of Chapel and State streets and there told Patrolman Dargan that Will Hams had the gun, at the same time pointing him out as he was walking down State street. Dargan started af- ter him and caught up with him at the corner of State and Wooster streets. Dargan asked him if he had revolver and Williams said that he had not. The policeman then grabbed hold of him, and searching him, found the gun in Williams hip pocket He was arrested and taken to police headquarters, where when he was searched belt containing fifty cartridges was found about his waist
 The revolver was a big one, of the same pattern as that with which Duff murdered his wife and mother-in-law on Greene street about two years ago. Every one of the five chambers was loaded. It was evidently a new gun, and Williams was asked why he carried it. In reply he said that he had been married about month and that his wife had not used him right. He said that he had been made to suffer on ac- count of her misdeeds and that he in tended to get even with her. He is held on charge of carrying concealed weapons.
