to be done in base ball? Lewiston and
Portland, as we suggested, last August,
are no more out of it than Bangor and
Augusta. 1t is four Maine clubs OF it

and without Bangor and Augusta. 1t
can never be Bangor and augusta
without Lewiston and Portland. Lew
iston and Portland have forfeited their
right to a vote in the Association of
Clubs and it rests with the four Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island clubs to
determine what the future New Eng

that an effort will be made to form a
league without any Maine clubs and
that it will fail, and that Portland and
Lewiston will 20 into it and a salary

Bedford held a meeting, last week, and
only eight men responded to a call in
viting 80 to get together to devise ways
and means to keep the team going mex
year. This indicates that the pros
poets for a ball club there next season
are very slim. The debt Of the assCci-
alton amounts to $1144. All the play
ers awe salary due in amounts rang
ing from $40 to $3.50. Ten men are on a
note for $500. only a trifle more than
$lOO having been paid on it. With this
note $500 is owed. Those present held
only an informal discussion, and came
to the conclusion that to successfully
run base ball another season at least
$1,000 would be needed, and it would be
useless to attempt to run the club with
less than that amount for a starter.
Just how to raise this amount was not
clear to those assembled. nor even how
to get the club out of debt. One man
present made out a list of 30 odd names
who will be invited to meet within one
week. and if at this proposed meeting
some way is not forthcoming to raise
at least money enough to pay the play
ers, New Bedford will see no ball club
next season. The prospects look de-
cidedly gloomy. With that condition
in New Bedford, wouldn't we have

EXCITING!
The Bryan Meeting at Patterson Was Inter.
rupted Several Times.

Paterson, N. j., Sept. 29.-Mr. Byrar
was received by a tumultous crowd OF
over 10000 people in this city. tonight.
1t was one of the noisiest and hardest
crowds to control Mr.. Bryan has faced
thus far in the campaign.
The candidate arrived from New York
at 600 and was met at the depot by the
committee, and escorted in a carriage
to the speakers stand, followed by 2000
people.
A tar had been erected on Coates
hill. and about this the throng gathered.
Just as the carriages approached the
outskirts of the crowd, the horses be
came frightened at the bursting bombs
and plunged forward. The crowd be-
came almost panic-stricken. The people
could not fall back owing to the solid
wall Of human beings behind them.
Two policemen grasped the brides.
holding the horses in check before any
damage was done. With much difficulty
Mr.. Bryan was pushed up on the plat
form. The crowd was very noisy and
it was impossible to secure silence for
over II minutes. Mr.. Bryan called for
quiet, but the people could not hear
him amid the uproar. The place was
in semi-darkness. Few electric lights
were tlickering in a very uncertain way
during the progress OF the meeting.
TWO small lanterns were depended up
on to supply light To the people.
Where Mr.. Bryan stood he was in
complete darkness. and the crowd was
yelling for a light To get a glimpse of
him.. Some II grabbed a lantern and
swung it in front of Mr.. Bryan's face.
This was the signal for tremendous
applause. When quiet was restored
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Munson
Force. chairman of the Democratic
county committee.
Mr.. Bryan in part said: The govern
ment that will not let individuals bring
a dollar into existence assumes a solem
duty of bringing into existence enough
dollars to perform duty that money is
called upon to perform. If by legisla-
ton you make money scarce. then you
| make money lear and the man who
owns money can let that money lie idle
and gain on increase in purchasing
power Of the dollar, whereas if you
have a stable currency then the idle
money will do no good to anybody and
the owner of the money will have TO
invest it and employ labor and develop
enterprise before he can get any profit
out Of il. Gold standard it the stand
ard of the miser.
At the close of his address Mr.. Bryan
was picked up bodily from the platform
by a dozen policemen and escorted to
his carriage. 1t was with much diff
Guilty that the carriage made it's way
through the surging mass of people to
the depot. the police being compelled to
handle the GROVE in no delicate manner.
Mr.. Bryan took the 7.37 train for New
ark.

as Ross several times minated that he
lived within a few miles of the scene of
the deed, a description given by Ross
fitted one man so well that he was found
and brought to Ross bedside, but there

black moustache. over a wide mouth. is
very dark and swarthy and has what is
called a tough look" He stands about

or 155 pounds. and looks like a wiry, pow
erful man. His countenance is Il bad one.
and shows that he would not hesitate at
any deed that might be necessary to car
ry out his plans.
He is said to have been n peddler, and
that for one or two years past he mas
been about New Sha. on, Pennington
Falls and New Vineyard. where he has

stocks were more active than the indus
trials but the features in point of extreme
fluctuation were the specialties. In this
group liquidation was clearly evident and
some material declines were scored. The
declining tendency of the market was to
slight extent accelerated by firmer tend
ency in foreign exchange. and by falling
off in eastbound shipments. Stop orders
were reached in variety of shares, caus-
ing a further unsettling of values, but in
the regular railway list there was not any
notable pressure of long stock. The rail-
way bond market which hitherto recently
affecting stocks, today displayed sag
ging tendency which was most prominent
in the speculative issues and this class also
absorbed the bulk of the business. Some
steadiness was impaired to the general
market at intervals but the Improvement

organization of the Union Pacific railway
