New York Aug. 24.--The decrease
In cash in the bank statement was

but the decrease in deposits wos
Iinore than the sum OF the decrease

brief, the investment situation has
not improved; the money situation
looks like it had fair chance with
the treasury aid there is only inter-
mittent buying for investment and
wall street is quite bare OF big lines
of speculative stocks and perhaps
has too much time money. We don't
like the industrial situation or in.

railroads are good as investments and
the speculative side is only good for

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Petralia Michele, who is confined in
the Knox county Jail at Rockland as
a witness in an approaching murder
case, was held up in the corridor by
two fellow prisoners Monday and
robbed of s13. He notified the officials
of what had happened and accused
Jack Ross and n negro named DAVID
Wright of being the robbers. They
stoutly asserted their innocence and,
though the officers searched several
hours, they could find no trace of the
missing money.
1t is estimated that 5000 will cover
the damage done to the building and
contents burned at 140 Canal street
alley, Lewiston, Monday. Edward Ber-
nier, a baker, occupies the first floor
while Mr.. and Mrs. Alphonse Dion
live in the second story. The struc-
ture is an old time story affair. The at
tic was badly burned and the house.
hold goods on the second floor were
partly ruined. The firm Of Pellerin &
F'rechette own the building and they
carry $500 insurance on it. 1t is not
known how the fire started.
BY a collision with a floating cake of
ice the lighter York lies at the bottom
of the Piscataqua river. marking an
other mishap to an already long list
attending the removal of IIenderson's
point at the Kittery navy yard. The
York was owned by the Massachusetts
Contracting Co. and was engaged In
the removal of a few large boulders
that interfered with a safe approach
to the navy yard Henderson's point
was removed by the national govern
ment in order to give a better approach
to the navy yard, and in order to do
away with a strong current that caused
great inconvenience to shipping.

New Insurance paid-for in 1906 is
represented by 7,24S Policies, covering
$10O67.5s6 Insurance, an increase of SO
Policies and $353,S50 Insurance over

ST., 1894, 606.55. having increased $637 ,61J. 04

panys history beyond three million

increase of $3.50 $3.50 over 1905. All Of
these items are important and encour-

The continued growth of Insurance in

satisfactory. The development of this

ton of the city formerly known as
Georgetown is entirely lacking in parks.
and are of the opinion that the Mont
rose tract, on Georgetown Heights, is
the most desirable and reasonable in
that locality.
THE proposed addition to Rock
Creek park runs along the western
boundary Of Rock Creek and extends
up the valley of a small branch running
approximately parallel to Massa-
chusetts avenue. The valley Of this
branch Is very deep and the land abut-
ting the creek is covered with a growth
OF large and beautiful trees. This land
has been owned by two or three diff
fcrent estates and up to the present
time the property remains undeveloped.
II comprises about S8 acres, ana it's
addition to Rock Creek park would be
Of great benefit not only TO that section
of the city but to the Identification of
the park itself. 1t is easy OF access and
within a few years will undoubtedly be
surrounded by quite a dense population.
The acquisition Of the land con-
tanned in Hall & Elban's subdivision, or
Meridian Hill. is believed to be
particularly desirable. About 10 acres
lie between Euclid street. Columbia
avenue OF I>iftet nth street, w street or
Florida avenue aud Sixteenth street
extended. The reservation proposed is
similar to the smaller reservations or
parks now existing throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia, such as Lincoln
park judiciary square, Franklin and
Lafayette squares. There are no parks
of this type north Of Florida avenue nor
south of Pennsylvania avenue the
breathing spaces nearest thereto being
located about a mile from each of said
sections. The territory surrounding it
is being rapidly improved, and a park
in the midst of one of the densely popu-
lated portions of the city would demon
strate its utility as well as its beauty.
In addition this proposed reservation
might also be utilized for governmental
purposes, such as the construction of
buildings, the laying out of gardens
etc. From the crown of the hill there
Is a commanding view of the city and
the Potomac river.
For these reasons your committee
are unanimously Of the opinion that the
bills now pending before Congress
should be enacted into laws. 1t is be-
leVed that the prices indicated are as
good rs can be secured and consider
ably less than they will be for many
years to come. The Senate has already
procurement of these tracts, and it is
hoped that the House will take similar |
action |
