Boston, October 14.-The Globe will say
tomorrow:
When Boston detectives arrested George
Atwood late in Auugst on the charge of
enlightenment, check which had been
stolen from asletter box, they suspected
that they had member of gang that
had been making tour of the United
States robbing mail boxes and passing
checks which had been stolen, and the
Endorsements of which had been forged
Yesterday they arrested man and a
woman. This morning third man is ex-
pected to be apprehenued in New York
and the arrest of a fourth man is possible
before night.
Besides Atwood, who is now serving a
term of five years in the state prison, these
now in custody are Mrs. Atwood, the
convicts wife. and a man who has several
names which he answers to. His latest
name is Mathews. Both he and Mrs
Atwood are now held on suspicion. The
New York man, the police claim, has been
the controlling spirit in the alleged GRIM
inal work.
George Atwood was arrested at noon
August &c. His arrest was directly due
to good memory and cleverDess on the
part of Mr. Harris of Harris s. Co., who
have sales stables on Traverse street.
On the day before his arrest Atwood
walked into the stables and began bid
ding for horse, and the animal was
knocked down. to him. The price was
$500. Atwood rendered check for $3.50. 81
and was on the paper of the Blackstone
National bank. 10 the officer, Mr.. Har-
ris pronounced Atwood fraud and told
the officers to arrest him. He was taken
to Station l.
For a month OF more letter boxes had
been opened and robbed. The first check
appeared on August 10 The checks
were sent to the New York people and
when they came back it was with letters
which pronounced the Endorsements forg-
cries. The authorities were not long in
coming to the conclusion that the checks
had been stolen from lette which had
been directed to New York firms.
Postoffice Inspectors White, Murray and
Snow were put to work on the case. At
wood was arraigned and held until Au-
gust 80, when he was tried convicted and
sent to prison on September "a.
Late yesterday afternoon young wom-
an called at the state prison to see her
husband, George Atwood. When about
to leave the guard room she was placed
under guard and taken to Boston police
headquarters.
In an hour Chief Watts and Inspector
Collins came in with dapper little man
whose Boston name is Matthews. But
he, like the woman, would not talk. The
conference ended in the decision that one
of the United States detectives should
go to New York. He is now there.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Topsham, October 14.-The officers of
the Sagadahoc Agricultural Society are
shaking hands with each other on their
good fortune in having pleasant weather
for their grand fair this year. The excel
lent condition OF the atmosphere today
attracted immense crowds to the
grounds The people commenced to gath
er early in the forenoon, many bringing
their dinners with them and having a
picnic lunch on the grounds. Il seemed
as if everybody, young and old, had
taken today for a holiday, and they
chose the best place on earth at which to
pass it and enjoy themselves most.
The Midway commenced good bust
ness at 8 am, and kept it up until dark
ness brought the day to close. AS a
fair estimate it was thought by the
officials that between nine and ten thous-
and people were on the grounds during
the day. The gate receipts for Tuesday
were 5000, Wednesday, which was the
opening day, $500 was taken at the gate.
To-day the amount OF the receipts could
not be learned but the result is sure to
be very gratifying to the fair officials.
The fair, which was described in gen.
eral manner in today's PRESS, is a sue
cess in every particular.
The Bath band. Prof. J. N. Meloney,
leader, was on the ground and furnished
q fine concert beside tho judges stand

BATH BOYS BRIGADE.
Those in attendance at the fair were
treated with novel sight during the
forenoon and afternoon when the Bath
Boys Brigade gave their drills. This
organization undoubtedly is unknown to
most OF the people of Main, yet it is one
most worthy of their attention and in
vestigation. 1t is popularity known in
Bath as the forward Movement The
Brigade was organized in Juue of this
year by Rev. F. W. O'Brien pastor of
the Peoples church of Bath and is a
great credit to his interest in the welfare
of the growing youth of his town. 1t is
composed of three companies. which are
made up of Is boys ranging in age from
IA to 20 years. 1t is the only organiza-
ton of the kind in the state outside of
the State Reform school, hence tine rea
son for its being unknown except in the
immediate vicinity of Bath
The first company, which is composed
of the older boys of the brigade has the
following officers:
