Closing the Concord Pension AGENCY.

Concord, N. H.-The payment of
soldiers pensions from the Concord
agency on January 4th will be the last
to be made from there. Immediately
after this payment the work of clos
ing up its affairs will be begun and
the books, documents and files of the
office will be moved to Washington.
The office will be closed on January
81, and such of the local employees as
desire can have a position in the
Washington office. Pension Agent ].
N. Patterson has not yet decided
whether he will go to Washington,
and several of the subordinate en-
ployes are still debating the question.
The agency has always been con.
sidered a New Hampshire perquisite,
and the only exception was the ap-
pointment of Hugh Henry of Vermont
a few years ago, who held the office
for a short time.

Mobilization of an old industry and the
opening of a new one banquet was
given on Friday by the Milford board
of trade which was attended by three
hunrred people, including many in
vited guests and members of the in
coming legislature. A little less than
year ago, on January 26, 1912, the
large mandatory Of French & Head
in that town was destroyed by fire,
throwing large number of employees
out Of work. On April Is new loca-
ton was presented to the firm, and
on May work ON the foundation of
the new buildings was begun. In
just six months and fifteen days the
large plant was completed and
in operation. During the time the
Quaker Shoe company was induced to
move its plant from North Weare to
Milford, and both firms are now en-
ploying much larger force than ever
before. The banquet took place at
$50 o'clock and was prepared by the
Ladies' Charitable Society of the Con
gregational church under the person
al direction of Mrs. Arthur P. Rotch
The project of cross country road
from Portsmouth to Keene was heart
lily endorsed.
During the day large number of
people availed themselves of the op-

Children from the Orphans Home.
Manchester, N H-At the Decem-
Der meeting of the executive commit
tee of the New Hampshire Orphans
Home, a most interesting report was
made by the matron, Mrs. R. P. Gard
ner. BY a special vote of the trust
ees it was arranged that all children
who have been placed in homes by
that institution should be visited if
possible at least once year. Mrs.
Gardiner has acted as the agent this
fall, and has Travelled more than 1000
miles visiting children in this state
and Vermont who have been placed
in homes.
Mrs. Gardiner reports, without a
single exception, that she has found
these children in home above the
average in these several communi-
ties. All Of them school age, attend
ing school and taking good rank and
several of them leaders in the social
life of the town, while the older
ones are in every case, making useful
men and women. A very cordial well
come was extended to her in all of
the homes, and they expressed them
selves as not only being very much
interested in the child they had taken
but gave emphatic testimony to the
good work they believed the home
had done for the child before it had
| been sent out.

that our troubles were traceable to
the fact that republican occupied
the white house during the hard time

that the return of prosperity was due
to the election of a democrat.
OF course, if the facts could be

A PECULIAR CASE.

Pottsville, Pa, Oct. dead by

town, Ia, came here to claim n be-
quest and SO successfully established
his identity that the court ordered
$475 left to him by John jenkins of
St. Clair, this county. in 1871, paid.
Thomas, war veteran, had been
long buried from the world in a SOL
diers' home, but he was very much
alive when advertised for in news
papers.
The case is one of the most pecul-
lar ever brought to the attention of

country in 1858, and lived at St.

ried Elizabeth Williams of Beaver

unable to learn their whereabouts.

More Evidence Of Stock Specu-

Associated Press.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1.-Broker
Fuller in the Sulzer impeachment
trial today made personal state
ment claiming that newspapers had
misrepresented his testimony, and al
so resenting the innuendoes of the
opposing counsel reflecting on him
and his firm. BY the book, his tes-
timony is absolutely correct, Fuller
said. No balances were forced, no
items omitted or concealed to protect
Sulzer or anyone else.
The most of the morning session
was devoted to an effort to show how
Sulzer had rewarded Campaign Sec
retary Sarecky by procuring him a
$4,000 job in the state immigration
service. Sarecky was not called as a
witness. The managers endeavored
to establish this point from the re-
port of the Frewley investigating
committee, but the governors coun-
sci objected to this line of evidence.
Broker Gray Fuller's partner tes-
titled that Frederick Colwell had told
him that the stock transactions were
for the governor. Colwell was Sui
zer's alleged dummy.
Counsel for the prosecution rested
their case at 2:30 pm. Judge Her
rick, counsel for Sulzer. requested an
adjournment until Monday.

Republican threats to send the re-
port back to conference further COM
plicate the situation. The Demo-
cratic leaders fear that such a move
might receive Democratic support.
We are simply insisting that the
senate have sufficient time to famil-
iarize itself with the conference re-
port said Senator Reed. 1--WE de-
mand the right to become very ia
miliar with the scope of the bill, and
will take the same attitude toward

When the senate met, Senator Sim
mons asked that the conference re-
port lie on the table until tomorrow
He offered no explanation concern
ing the request, which was granted.
After hours of discussion, the Dem
ocratic caucus determined to allow
ample time to debate behind closed
doors. Senator Pomerene's objection
to the brandy tax and Reeds criti-
cisms of several important points in
the conference report were the chief
points presented. Democratic leaders
expressed belief that the tariff bill
would be presented to the senate to-
morrow, but the cotton futures con-
troversy may further prolong the de-
liberations of the caucus.

There is quite a coal shortage in

100 tons behind their orders. One
dealer said to The Sentinel yesterday,
I'VE are having but little trouble in
getting coal at the mines, but have
not enough teams to haul it with. At
the present time l could use three
more teams and deliver 80 tons day
in excess of what am now handling.
There is likely to be coal shortage
this fall especially IL the tie up in
the states mines becomes more com
plete."
At present over 100 tons of coal
per day are being delivered to resi-
dences throughout the city by the
various coal dealers. The price has

miles above De Beque, according to
j. G. Harrington of that section, and
the tests which he has made by local

A coterie or local men have become
interested in the proposition and will
finance number of exhaustive tests
which are planned to prove the worth
of the big vein of oil-bearing shale
which Mr.. Harrington has discovered
and filed upon.
Mr.. Harrington made the discovery
two years ago when his wife's horse
broke bit of rock off the trial and
disclosed Its black surface. Crude
tests showed that oil was present and
later assays showed that from twelve
to twenty gallons OF fine oil can be
distilled from every ton of rock.
The process of reducing the rock
Is simple and inexpensive. The rock
is baked in enormous ovens and the
escaping yapor is condensed forming
q high grade of oil. Being a distil-
late primarily it is better than the
crude product of the wells. The coke
residue is also said to be very valu-
able for the purpose of manufactur-
