City Hu Paid More Than In Ten Years, Massachusetts and probably has covered a much wider terr.tory with h'E letters, which would indicate that Mr. Smith must have a large storehouse back of him, to hold all of the bundles which are awaiting $1. A Springfield exhibit was handed to Postmaster K-A. Hagarty yesterday, the letter having been received here by a man to whom it was readdressed. his former address having been a Springfield location.

As far as reported to the post office, only two cases are known where anybody has sent the $1 requested, but as it appears probable that the scheme is a fraud, nobody having arisen to be counted as having received anything for the $1, but exper.ence, it hardly to be expected that people will very generally admit that they have been ''stung." and the number of those who have contributed to a Christmas present for Air.

Few Risks Either Philadelphia or Chicago Fires. The fires in Chicago and Philadelphia will affect to a very small extent the local fire insurance companies, as Twelve substitutes, equally divided between clerks and carriers, are helping out the post office force. Kigltt teams went Into commission yesterday, six of them being used for the delivery of mall and tw for collection The use of vehicular letter carriers comes earlier than usual and it is hoped that when the last trips are made tomorrow, the matter received the office for local delivery will lie pretty well cleaned up. The regular stamp da-partment is now open evenings until 9:30 o'clock, stamps being sold after that hour and until 11 o'clock at the general delivery indow, the sale then being transferred to the box window, where it goes on through the small hours, winding up at 6:30 a. when one of the regular windows is opened.

The lobby of the post office yesterday was a worse case of congestion than on any previous day and there were indications that people are fairly prosperous this year, in spite of the wicked republican tariff and the high cost of living.

Ftenjam'n Katz. who conducted clothing store at No. 517 Front street, this city, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the district court of the United States yesterday. His liabil'ties are listed at $4,432.08, of which J1.59S.7U is unsecured.

Such buildings and materials as stock yards are composed of are not the kind of risks any insurance company care to deal in to a. very great extent, for they have a well known habit of burning up wht-r.

XV. H. Cofran, viee-pre dent of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, said that he was quite certain that his company wouid not lose more than $5,000 in either fire. The Connecticut 1 ire Insurance Company lost nothing in the Philadelphia lire, and its loss in the Chicago ftre, if anvthing, will probably he light. Vice-President W.

II. Ktillman, said. John B. Knox, the secretary of the Phoenix Insurance Company, said that the loss of his company in the Chicago lira 13,610.000.00 The other items in the city's bonded debt are the refunding town lionds, amounting to $270,000, on which interest 3 'i per cent.) is payable in May and and the Connecticut River Bridge bond issue of on which interest (3S per tent.) is payable in June and December. On the city's outstanding bond issues of $4,880,000, therefore.

It pays this year $174. 625. and, with the interest of $1,409 on the town deposit lund note of $23,41, the interest account for the fiscal year amounts to $176,034. The outstanding bonds and the note mentioned represent the city's indebtedness. The Interest account, however, cannot remain at a standstill, and it cannot go down, as has been the course lor the past few years, as it is expected that the city will be obliged to borrow money before the close of the fiscal ear.

and application will be made to the Legislature for authority to issue more bonds. Public improvements involving large expenditures have been voted by the people and they must be paid for. and current revenue will not take car of everything, by any means. The rlty'a expenditures for interest in a would be very small and that it lost nothing in Philadelphia. W.

Gray, secretary of the Orient Insurance Company, said that nothing was lost in Philadelphia and probably very little, if any, at Chicago. The Scottish Union Sr National Insurance Com-panv lost nothing in Philadelphia and its Chicago loss may reach $10,000 or $15,000, but will probably be much less, while the Standard Fire Insurance Company will lose nothing because of either ftre.

The board of finance will also act upon a proposed extra appropriation to the park board, which wants $500 for a skating pond in Colt Park.

It is supposed that the treasurer will call the attention of the finance board, in the near future, to the need of more ready money than the current revenue provides and that a recommendation to the court of common council will follow. The finance board is facing some problems and it isn't Joking, therefore, when it rives its opinion that the city cannot afford a public comfort station. Mayor K.
