The Austro- erman armies which occupied Bel- Brade appear to have advanced more han fifteen miles south of the city, ut the outcome of the fighting be- ween Bulgarians and Serbians along he jmportant Saloniki-Nish railway nnot be summed up so easily. At two points, the northernmost of hich is Vranya, the Bulgarians as- ert they have reached this railroad, hile to the south the Serbians are ported to have driven back the in- aders. Both Athens and Paris haintain that French troops have ccipied Strumitsa, in southwestern tulgaria, but there are available no flicial reports rela‘ing to the struggle n this quarter and none ‘is expected til the fighting reaches a more con- lusive stage. Removal of General Tan Hamilton om command of the Dardanelles orce was received in England with hixed feelings, coming on the heels of ors of a possible withdrawal from allipoli Peninsula. In the best in- 'rmed cireles, however, the appoint- ent as commander in chief of Major eral Sir Charles Munro is inter- Bted as an indieation that the cam- ign will be prosecuted with renewed ergy, as the country has great con- fiance in the new leader’'s ability.

Had Statutes Repealed. The New Haven, declared the attor- ney, reverting to the railroad situa- tion, obtained the repeal of certain statutes of the state of Connecticut which had permitted competitive lines in that state. The occasion for it was the contemplated construction of a branch line of the Central New England. “This is another illustration of the extent to which these conspirators went to obtain a @eadition which violated the federsd law,” said the attorney.

A part of its stock— 109,948 shares—was held by the American Express company, which had a contract with the New York Central, the latter owning a part of the express company stock. Lewis Cass Ledyard represented the express company’s interest in the Boston and Maine, in the capacity of director of the road. He agreed, with the con- sent of the New York Central that the Boston and Maine shares should g0 to the New Haven, but on the con- d:tion that he should become a direc- tor of the Ntw Haven.

There was a storm of eriticism and their fol- lowed the legislative proceedings which eventually resulted in the New Haven being authorized by the Mas- sachusetts law to own the Boston and Maine. ¥ “Your attention will be called to the fact,” he conigaued, “that during these praceedings at the very time the New Haven stated to the Massachusetts au- thorities that it had disposed of its stock in the Boston and Maine, it was in fact secretly acquiring additional stock.” SPEAR PARDONED BY PRESIDENT WILSON Convict Serving Five Year Sentence at Atlanta For Unlawful Use of Mails in Stock Fraud Case. Philadelphia, Oct. 19.—President ‘Wilson, while travelling to Princeton today, announced that he had granted a pardon to Cameron Spear, sentenced to five years in Atlanta penitentiary for unlawfully using the mails in con- nrection with the Collins Wireless MANY REPARS TO BE HADE AT ARMORY Needed Facilities for Militiamen to -Be;itgrted Soon For the first time, in many years the local members of the First Infan- try, C. N. G, will soon be enjoying quarters that are adequate to their wants. Work on making a num- ber of repairs that have long been needed at the armory will be com- menced. To Representative E. W. Schultz of this city, the boys can offer their thanks for it was through his endeavors that an appropriation of $9,500 was received for the work. Mr. Schultz, who is commander of the local camp of the Sons of Vet- erans, has felt indebted to the mili- tary boys for a number of kindnesses extended to his organization and when they solicited his aid in get- ting the special appropriation it was with a vim that he started out to se- cure it. The building has been erected for nearly thirty vears and few improve- ments have been made in that period of time. For instance not more than one-third of the cellar has ever been excavated, and this will be one of the first drawbacks to be remedied The storage rooms have been totally inadequate and a few cubby- holes have been used for the com- panies’ outfits. The board of health to call attention to sanitary condi- tions and this trouble will be reme- died with the installation of first class plumbing. It is also proposed to repair the rifle range, to place new boilers in the building and to install shower baths. Members of the ath- letic teams of out of town companies have at times protested against com- ing to this city and playing games Wwith the home boys, because of the lack of baths. The janitor’s apart- ments will be equipped with fire es- capes, thus eliminating danger that has existed for some time, as the only way to get out of the building in case of fire was down spiral stairs. The plans and specifications for the changes are in charge of Major Mec- Mahon of the First Regiment, C. N. G., and proposals for bids have been issued by Adjutant General G. M. Cole. They will be opened on October 30. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES, Coach Dr. Zwick of the High school football team spoke to the boys of the morning session, in the school gymna- sium today.

President Wilson worked on Spear and other pardon cases and on correspondence throughtout his ride from Washington. He dictated stead- ily to his stenographer. Spear 'has already served one year beyond his parcle period and was represented to the president as wast- ing away in the penitentiary from dis- ease. In the absence of Attorney Gen- eral Gregory recently Solicitor Gener- al David recommended to the presi- dent that the application for the par- don be denied. When a former application for a pardon for Spear was pending, form- er United States Attorney Wise in New York pointed out that Spear was the “head and brains” of the al- leged fraud. Claiming that they had patents on a device that would take the plece of old style telephones and supplant the telegrapher, Spear and his associates sold stock in their concern to the pub- lic.

If the man has a trade which demands hand tools and he has but few of his own, it speaks poorly for his provident habits, and consequently for his general ability. It a man Saves Some Money from his wages week by week, he is a safe man to employ, because he is likely to be steady and industrious. Thus thrift is a good index to char- acter generally, and the saver is usual- ly found to be thoroughly reliable. W PAY 4 PER CENT. ON SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. The Gommercial Trust Co.
