Coffin, representing big New York syndicate, is in the city to propose a refrnding of old city bods, He called on Mayor Lang yesterday and made arrangements for having the mayor call a meeting of the council for tomorrow night. He has conferred with the finance committee of the council, and the plan is now to refund 844,000 of the old Paducah and New Orleans rail- road bonds, issued first about 1850, for $110,000, They then drew 10 per cent, fnterest for thirty years, but — were — subsequently refunded at 8 per cent., and afterwards for 6 per cent, the present rate of interest. There are $45,000 of these old bonds now, and they can be refunded at perhaps 3 or 4 per cent., it is thought, thus saving the city considerable money, as the Jact council did in refunding $66,000 io bonds the pase year. Mr. Collin. represeats the same syndicate that refunded the bonds last year, and is to propose a] wefunding of the remaining €45,000/ go bonds,—which constitute the last of the old bonds. The called meeting of the council} will be held tomorrow night to hear his proposition and act upon it BRIDE OF 14.

Brook Hill Garrard county, Paducah, Ky. When we recommend an article or prod- uct it is accepted without question that we have thoroughly satisfied by severe tests, of its value and worth, and that it is all that it may claim to be. The foregoing is sufficient to illustrate our posi tion, and to justify what we may say when we make specific recommendation and extend our editorial commendations to the Kentucky, distilled by Friedman, Keiler & Co., of Both dealers and consumers can rely upon the character ot the products of this firm, both in general and in particular, and we have no hesitancy in recommending them to our readers. Although we have no personal interest in the matter whatsoever, we believe in the policy, ‘‘merit to whom merit is due."’ In the light of too frequent adulterations and preparations of liquors, it behooves every one to scrutinize every brand, but, from the lack of proper facilities, such precautions are often neglected. ‘To supply such want we have caused to be made close and critical examination and a searching chemical analysis, with the inten- tion of printing the same, whether favorable or otherwise, ‘The result, however, leaves us but one thing to do, and that is to state, regarding the Brook Hill Whiskey, that purer or better liquor has never been placed upon the market, and we recommend same to our readers in unqualified terms and advise them to place an order, at least for a trial, as their product is ourselves, whiske} The City of Chattanooga arrived out ofthe Tennessee river late yes- terday@tternoon with an enormous tow of Fiross ties.
