Athens says that the torpedo scandal continues to be the sensation of the Cretan capital The basis of this scandal was the discovery of the fact that all the cartridges fitted to the torpedoes during the war with Turkey were not provided with percussion caps and ful minating mercury and that therefore they would have been useless in case they were needed The committee of Investigation ap pointed to inquire into the matter decided that two officers Capts Rastopoulo and Anastasi must be tried by court martial on the charge of culpable negligence Capt Rastopoulo who is now being tried has asked that Prince George of Greece who commanded the torpedo flotilla during the war and who was previous to the war a great favorite with the masses be called as a witness The court has refused to do this

appoint ment of a temporary receiver for the Bay State Beneficiary Life Association in West field the hearing has not been held it is not going beyond the truth to say that in the minds of good judges there seems to be no reason to anticipate a more favorable outcome of this case than of the Mass'achu setts Mutual Benefit Life Association whose career has been so dramatically be fore the unfortunate policy holders within a few months The Bay state has col lapsed within the time wiich was set for it by good observers of this business Bay State is the last of its breed In this state About twenty years have been required for the demonstration to the peo ple of the state that it is impossible to run life insurance companies on the basis of assessments which do not provide for the future as amply as the old line companies The craze has swept over the state com pletely It has been supported by some of the best men in the community It was nt less acute a man than ex Gov George Robinson who was counsel for the Iron Hall endowment order and when he urged by the then Insurance Commissioner Merrill not to appear as counsel for the as 1 sociatlon on the ground that it was not a safe system of Insurance he replied that he knew that it was and gave all his ability to demonstrate before the Insurance committee of the legislature that the fun damental proposition of the association was sound But the demonstration of events has been the other way for the whole as sessment and endowment systems and It is nowhere audibly asserted that any differ i ent management' could have produced a I dllferent result with the same principles I development of the delusion has mighty object lesson to all the state I beginning there was a little associa I New Bedford doing business

sult of the business direction of the Sun in the thirty years that he was president of the corporation It is safe to represent that Mr Dana in the days of his manage ment beginning in 1868 and ending in received as his share of the profits and as salary not far from $2000000 He also adds that an examination of the profits of the Sun newspaper since Mr Dana gain ed control of the property shows that in the thirty years of his direction the prop erty earned nearly 1000 per cent paid in' dividends It therefore paid the original subscribers to the stock the whole amount of their purchase money

legis lature will be asked at its next session to (amend and consolidate the acts respecting the Windsor water works The present act was passed lu 1871 and some amendments were added in 1878 The commissioners do not like the wording of the act and Mr Macpherson has drafted new clauses which will entirely do away with the pres ent law The complaint is that the law is not workable hence the desired change Some time ago the commissioners decided to take drastic measures for collecting the arrears of water rates against many prop erties in the city but the law would not back them up At least this was the ad vice given by one lawyer while another contended that the rates could be assessed against the property On examination it was found that the law made provision for making a lien

advis able to have the legislature pass an entirely new act This clause in connection with the arrears will be the most important change but there will be other clauses added which it is expected will assist the board in car rying on the work of the department The old act made no arrangements for the pay ment of debentures providing the water commissioners did not pay them when due The new act will remedy this defect A clause will be inserted giving the city council power at any time to resume con trol of the water board by submitting it to a vote of the people The money received from the sale of debentures has always been kept by the water board but accord ing to the act these funds should be in the keeping of the city treasurer as he is the proper custodian Tne water board will be permitted to ask the city to raise $2oojo by law for the use of the board without sub mitting it to a vote of the ratepayers The system of selling the debentures on the sinking fund method will be done away with tnd the sliding scale adopted The doeumtnis relating to these changes in the act ill be at once forwarded to Toronto and will come before the legislature at tho session that opens

discussion occupied much of the: 'time at the meeting of tho board of educa Hon last night The Inspectors listened quietly to the report of the corporation counsel relative to the case of Mathilde Coffin ord against the board telling of the default for $993 granted by Judge Hos jner and advising the board to discontinue the litigation Not so quiet as the re ception that greeted the recommendation of the counsel that Attorney AVm Bauble be engaged to cfend the board against one Neuhofer for the rea sonihat Mr lowers had been one of the attorneys for Neuhofer in the beginning of the case SeM ral of the inspectors did not see hy one of the corporation assistants could not take charge Of the case and the recommendation was not adopted The rule relating to the dls missal of teachers will probably be still further changed at the next meeting as a new wording was proposed by the com mittee on which seems to be calcu lated to protect the board against litiga tion by teachers summarily disenarged The rule proposed by Inspector Hall at the last meeting changing the wording ot a rule which defines the ages of children enumerated in the school census was tak en from the table It proposed that the rule instead of reading between the ages of live and twenty inclusive should be changed to read between five and under twenty Secretary Chamberlin explained that the state superintendent construed the state law to exclude those of twenty years and and that over 4()i) names were stricken off the rolls on this account last year Inspector Marr thought the board might be unlawfully deprived of primary school moneys on this account and on his motion the rule was referred to the judi ciary committee and the corporation coun sel President Craig announced that tlie controller would probablycall for the es timates early in January and on motion provision was made for a committee of five to report to the board on the amount thought necessary for the maintenance and extension of tlie public school system A communication from the corporation counsel advised that Attorney Bauble be I appointed to take charge of the Neuhofer case against the board Mr lowers stated that at the commencement of the case the firm of lowers May Moloney had ap peared for the plaintiff and he therefore could not defend the board As the em ployment of Attorney Bauble would in volve some expense there was quite a dis cussion over the matter Inspector Mc Gregor stated that he would never again agree to pay for an attorney in the board i inspector Lane? thought the
