THE STAFFORD FAIR.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct.
 3d. Ath and 9th.


 A Monson correspondent of the Palmer Journal says: "The students always have one day given to them in which to visit either the Palmer or Stafford fair, their choice to be made known by ballot. This year they voted to go to Stafford, owing to the large number of students from the Nutmeg state" As the propor- tion of Mass. students at the academy to those from Connecticut Is as 1 to g.; as the vote stood 67 to 29 as the same express sion of preference has been given in all former years, the near approach to unan- unity of the vote suggests
 The Hartford correspondent of the Sum- day Republican instances as societies that "have more attractive exhibitions at their fair" than the Connecticut State So- ciety the following in the order given {: Stafford Springs, Willimantic, Danbury or Norwich.
 Stockholders can obtain tickets good for their admission on any one day of the fair (to be surrendered at the gate) by calling on Treasurer Heald.
 Reserved seat grand stand tickets are now on sale at Heald's. Twenty five cents gives the proprietorship of selected seat for the entire day.
 There is brightening of prospects as the time, for the fair draws near. The entries for trotting classes are coming in good. Applications for space indicate a good attendance of the "fakirs," who give so much life to the Midway Plais- ance," and best of all, there will be a good run of exhibits, and indications are that everybody is coming. It is the Staf- ford fair, and they can't afford to lose it. Don't forget to do your part toward mak- ing it god fair.
 Several horses of Mabel Floss combi- nation have already arrived, including the trick horse, Boston, shown at last years fair by Myrta Peak.
 Citizens Band, engaged to furnish the music, have secured the services of Prof. G. H. Southland, of Springfield, leader oi the second regiment band, as soloist.
 ONCE MoRE.-Do what you can for the Stafford fair. Let it be made manifest that the Stafford fair is always good one, be the times good or bad. The pol, icy of the managers is to make the fair 8 good one, and maintain it's reputation. That done, the attendance will take care of itself.

 Tho rot1wau oOrnrniccionorc io o%@ ob ing the blame for the Chester accident on the Boston and Albany road, find that the responsibility for the disaster rests upon Daniel Belleville, the foreman, who had charge and direction of the work and allowed the work to be done poorly and the bridge to be left in an utterly unsafe condition, neglecting to warn the incom- ing train. No blame Is attached to the conductor, engineer or other trainmen of the wrecked train. The speed of the traiE was not the cause of and did not contribute to the collapse of the bridge. The contract made by the president of the railroad company with the proprietor of the R. F. Hawkins iron works, under which the work of this and other bridges was done, was for the best of workmen and best of work. The original responsi- bility for the accident must rest upon the railway company for not having a com potent supervisor to see that there was no chance of carelessness on the part of workmen or foremen.
 
 The shrinkage in wool values in. this country Is estimated at one hundred and twenty millions of dollars, which equals almost the entire working capital of the manufacturers.

Saturdays attendance at the worlds fair put the paid admission record for last week well above what it was the week before when 1 1,O00, GOO people bought tick cts. This was in spite of very hot and unfavorable weather. Since the first of September the paid admissions have amounted to 3,4OO,O and the total att tendance to date is some 13,40O, 1000. It would now appear that the attendance by the close of the exposition, October 31, will have reached 2O,OOO,0OO
 The train robbers are producing the legitimate results of their murderous acts. The Michigan Central, the Pennsylvania, and other roads are arming every one of their trainmen with two revolvers and Winchester repeating rife, and they are expected to shoot to kill. It is un- derstood that the Rock Island, the Wa bash, the Illinois Central, and other roads will at once take the same precautions.

 Springfield, September, 1893.
 There are themes which re- quire the prismatic powers of language; but it is doubtful if the wealth of words that lie buried in the pages of Noah Webster are enough to evoke the melodies when it comes to the beauties of bonnets
 the rhapsodies in wraps
 the jewels in jackets
 the confections in capes
 the delights in dress stuffs of this season. Only dreams could invent some of them. An hour or two here will give you such a notion of them as can be got in no other way.
 Already there is a rush for the new wraps and jackets and capes. Its not to be wondered at, though. Its hard to see the new styles without buying. At no time probably will the variety be larger or better than it is now. In jackets alone we have

gangs, every tim'

The proposed international prize fight between the notorious pugilists, Charles P. Mitchell and James J. Corbett, which has been arranged by Justice of the Peace Richard V. B. Newton of Kings county to take place at Coney Island in Decem- Der, has aroused the most intense feelings of indignation in Brooklyn. They look upon the suggestion that 1t is a scientific contest as merely a subterfuge. 1t doubt less is, for the conditions of the match are just about like those governing the Sulli- van-Corbett fight at New Orleans. But in spite of the protests of the good people of Brooklyn, and in spite of the fact that such fight could not be held in either Brooklyn or New York in a public manner, it will doubtless be held at Coney Island if the political boss gives his consent.

 PEOPLE WHO ARE SHORT Of money must be very short indeed if they can't afford to invest in Suit, Pant or Furnishings, or Hat. Per haps you will be astonished to be told that the worse off you are the better you can afford to make an investment Isn't it true that the less you have the more sharp-sighted you must be about your purchases, and the more you must get for what you spend <? Those who have handsome balances at the bank can stand the strain of handsome prices without any difficulty whatever those who haven't must try to make one dollar do the work of two.

Last Thursday night there was another

Last Thursday night there was another tragedy caused by railroad robbers. and it will result in one, perhaps two deaths; 1; the evidently fatal one, happily, being one of the three robbers. It was on the Illinois Central, and close to Centralia, in the middle of the state. The robbers got on at Centralia, having shot down the fireman and engineer, and stopped the train, they went for the express car, and having battered in the door, amidst 8 shower of bullets from the revolvers of the messenger and two companions in side, they got in, and a battle for life be- gan, the bullets flying in both directions At this juncture passenger, who had a shotgun, got into the car and shot one robber in the head. When he fell, the two others fled. A hot chase was begun, with 8 prospect of overhauling them. The wounded robber, who will doubtless die, was evidently, as in the case of the Michi- gan 'hold up," railroad man. On him were found cards showing his member ship with railroad orders. He 1t was who, when the engineer and fireman fell stopped the train. This coincidence in two states gives hint as to the person nel of possible part of railroad robber gangs, every time.

Real Estate Exchange Will Not

The regular weekly meeting of the
real estate exchange yesterday was
largely attended. Col. j. Fl. Davidson,
chairman of the press committee, sub
mitted a written report, signed by the
entire committee. in commentator of
the American Land and Title Register,
national real estate journal published
in this city. The report was unanimous
ly adopted. E. J. HodgsOn, chairman
of the committee OH a permanent man
ufacturers' exhibit, reported that the
Mannheimer block OH Third street
might be secured at low rental, and
that it would be desirable
place for the exhibition of ST.
Paul manufactures. He thought
the project ought 10 be pushed so that
the exhibit could be in shape for open
ing prior to May 5, the date of the con-
vention of the National League of Press
Clubs. Col. Davidson expressed the
opinion that the real estate exchange
was getting outside Of its own province
in preparing a manufacturers exhibit.
He considered the plan good one; vet
it was something that should be carried
out by the manufacturers themselves.
G. w. Horn agreed with Col. Davidson,
and suggested that the matter be turned
over to the Commercial club. 1t was
then decided to have the committee
