Boston. December 1.-The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say:
 'The market Is slow. but prices keep firm for all desirable wool. Manufacture CTS are watching the situation rather closely in view of the approaching heavy weight season. On the one hand they find short supplies. and on the other re- sistance on the part of the clothiers to higher cloth prices. Meantime they are well occupied in old contracts"

A development growing, out of the
Springs-Jones controversyin- Lancaster
was some litigation over the question
as to whether the county treasurer
could remove his deposits from bank
except in due process of payment OF
ordinary Claims. Treasurer Hilton had
given notice TO the First National bank
OF Lancaster, of which, c. II. Jones is
president, that he intended to with
draw $4,000 he had deposited In the
bank. The bank refused to pay and
sued out a restraining order returna-
be before Judge Townsend at Colum-
bia. 1t held that mderra statute the
treasurer had no right TO withdraw
funds except to pay claims. Judge
townsend, however, decided that the
withdrawal of the funds was matter
within the discretion OF the count!

mained in this house on the edge of
the stately country seat of the Spen-

Rev Laurence Washington. grand
son OF the owner of Sulgrave Manor.
and his wife. Amphyllus Tring of
Hertfordshire, the John and Laurence
Washington who were the immi-
grants of the illustrious line in vir-
gfnia.
Since these facts are plainly at
tested in the chronicles preserved at
the Sulgrave Manor and are in the
possession of the Washington family
home in this country, it seems in
comprehensive that the birthplace
of the immigrants and the home from
which they set forth to seek their
fortunes in the new world was not

of such close connection with the
fortunes of the Washingtons after
they left Lancanshire, but they are
also filled with other associations
which are particularly interesting

erations of Franklins lived and
labored Is almost under the shadow
Of st. Mary's, and 1t was from It that
Franklin's father Jared forth to seek
his fortune in the colonies.
It is of considerable interest to
learn that the ancestors of the pres

immediate ancestors of the great
patriot, but also those Of the be-

American history is another signal
achievement of the Sulgrave institu-

began this series. which has been
endowed by the gift of 100000 by
Sir George Watson. The Chief Justice

year, in the same series. but his place
was filled by DR.. Arthur T. Hadley,
