A special from Montreal says: “The separate schog) question still occupies the attention of the French-Canadian press of this province. ‘The hberal organs are bitter in their denuncia- tions of the action of the government and its supporters in the debate just conciuded in the house of commons. L'Eivctfur says that the Casho ies of Manitoba can make up their minds that wil is over for them and bid farewell. not only to their schools, but to the damages which | they were expecting in lieu thereof. “Mr. Sarce, M.P., the mover of the resolu- tion in the aouse of commons, is also out with a letter on the eame suvject in which he com- ments bitterly on what he terms the pitiful mien presented by the goverament supporters, and especially those from the province, on that question.” a —HOOD'S CURES. —HoOD's CULES.

SN=N=N=IH=N= THE TROLLEY OUT OF DATE. ‘Wires for Railroads. A special to the New York Times from Hart- ford, Conn., says: The problem of under | ground wires for electrical railways has been solved in this city, and a section of street rail- road here is now in running condition by the new system. The underground equipment has | been down ail winter, with the horse cars run- ning over it constantly, and in no case has the slightest danger been experienced by contact with it The wires are midway between the tracks, The severest winter that has been ex- perienced here in years has not affected the ap- paratus and the circuit bas not been inter- rupted. The placing of the wires under ground | will not cost much more than installing the trollev lines. The inventor of the system, James F. Munsie, was the first suj intendent of the Canadian Pacific telegray limes; before that he was superintendent of the Dominion lines. and made the land connections with the Atlantic cable at Cape Canto. He prepared the esti- mates for the Gould American Union lines. In all of these positions he showed ability of a high order. For years he bas been working on the problem of producing a system of under- ground wires, which may be relied upon in every emergency of storm and change of tem- perature, and at the same time be perfectly safe for the traveling public. The experi- ments, which have tehminated snocessfully, have been conducted under the city govern: ment A MOBILE BANK FAILS, Examiner Campbell Takes Charge at the Request of the Management. At the request of the officers of the Alabama National Bank of Mobile, Bank Examiner B. J. Campbell visited the bank and has directed the institution to close its doors. This step was not unexpected in financial circles, and came nearly being taken in December last, when the knowledge of the condition of the bank caused the depoits to fall off very rapidly, and what are left can be paid inside of sixty days, the bank having now about 35 per cent on hand of the amount necessary to liquidate all claims. The remainder and more is amply secured. There will be no losses on the part of the depositors. F. H. Clergue, president. is said to be the cause of all the trouble. He, it is alleged, has used between $50,000 and 260,000 of the bank's and efforts made during the past sixty va to obtain a settlement have failed. The management of the bank decided that the best way to place the institution on its feet would be to call on the controller of the currency for an examination. ‘The bank examiner states that several days will be required to determine the true condi- tion of the institution, Died From an Inauguration Cold. Malcolm B. Jackson, aged twenty-one years, son of John E. Jackson, died on Sunday morn- ing at the residencé of his father, near Jackson, Cecil county, Md. He attended the inaugura- tion, being a member of the Principio Cornet Band, and contracted a heavy cold, which upon | his return home was complicated by tae measies, culminating in his death. “Wonra A Gersea A Box STOP THIEF.
