cess from all standpoints. The com
mittee of arrangements were W. S.
Goulding, NJ. w, John R. Haskell, P.
NJ. w. and oliver J. LaPorte, o. The
festivities lasted until late in the morn
ing hours.
Mr.. Trask is well known locally. He
is a record breaking candle pin bowler
of former repute, and as he rolled
in the old Webster quintet, the Babies
of Worcester have just reason for re-
Numbering him.
Trask has lived in Webster for long
time. and this is where his home is now
He was at one time, previous to his

very under Uncle Sam.
He went on the ship Vulcan as a
first class fireman, after passing a good
examination. Friday, Feb. 10, he was
honorably discharged at Norfolk, Va.
Mr.. Trasl1 has figured in many excit-
ing and thrilling episodes since he left
town, nearly year ago. When the
Maria Teresa was abandoned off Cat
island. some 800 miles, however, away
from the island. all he saved from his
possessions was a vest and a pair of
trousers that he was clad in at that
time. Among other articles that he
was obliged to leave behind him, as
many a girl has been left, We're a val
liable gold watch and $50 in good Amer
lean coin.

ban warrior was called upon to say
few words and his "reminiscences were
very interesting to the invited assem-
bly,
Selectman Henry Brandes, a past
master workman of the lodge, in behalf
of the assembly, presented the lodges
hero a gold watch. His remarks were
greeted with applause. The token was
very appropriate, as the. watch will be
substitute for the one he lost in Gu
ban waters, and also as the knights of
Pythias recently gave him a chain and
charm.
During the evening a picked orches-
ira furnished music for dancing. The
musicians We're Prof. Hector E. Bou-
lay, pianist, Charles McCausland, clar-
ionetist, Lewis Des Loover, violnist,

THE NEXT MOVE.
All Webster Await Action
of the Railroad Company.

Webster, March 2.-The question is
being asked by local citizens how long
will Contractor George S. Corbins VIC
tory remain over the mighty New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company. Mr.. Corbin, alone, single
handed and unaided, defied the corpor-
alton with it's millions of backing, and
as The Spy stated this morning, tore
down the barricade that the railroad
people had erected at the Beacon Park
crossing.
Mr. Corbin is the recipient today of
all kinds of praise and nattering re-
marks, relative to the bold policy he
adopted yesterday. 1t took consid-
cradle amount of nerve to thus openly
defy the influential corporation, but
Mr.. Corbin was determined, and with
his blood at boiling point, he took all
risks.
A rumor went the rounds this after
noon that a section gang had COM
menced the erection of another OBJ
struction at the crossing. The Spy re-
porter, with Clifford B. Hill and Albert
Wakefield, the custodian OF the cross
ing, Immediately drove to the seat of
the rumor

Howard, Crosby & Co.. s Boston Letter J
Boston, Oct A.--Wheat opened easy
Nc under Mondays close. Cables were
disappointing, Liverpool not making a
full response to rally here yesterday
The continuance of dry weather through
the winter wheat belt is something of o
factor, however, and the outlook in the
west has not changed much for the bet
ter. A private Liverpool cable says tn,
comparative weakness there was due t.
poor spot demand. Northwest receipts
1852 cars, against 1881 the same day las
week and 1894 the same day last year
Minneapolis wires that the high prices
that have been paid for fax have a tend
ency to make farmers hold their wheat
and it is certain that northwestern farm
ers are selling very little wheat in com
parison to what they would after a gooC
advance.
The stock market showed some irregu
larity in the first half hour, and frs
prices were a shade lower in response t
slight declines at London, but the under
tone continued strong, in spite of the at
tempt made to affect the general list by
raid on Tobacco. Buying was of goot
character but not so large as yesterday
the most noticeable feature being tn.
strength of Investment buying LondoI
sold from about 10000 to Is, DOC shares
pretty well scattered through the list
but it was well taken. Shorts were the
best buyers of Manhattan, and Leather

what seemed to be a good class of buy
ing. Glucose was active on apparent poo
purchases. Traders seem inclined to sell
but not with any degree of confidence
Trading in Leather was heavy and ap
parently for the same interests as yes

feature, caused by LondSa selling am

COMPLIMENT TO STONE.
Praise for Efficient Manner in Which
He Brought Back Manooean.

Inspector w. J. E. Stone of this city
in his trip to st. Paul after Hachadcar
Manoogian, received among other
things, a compliment for the manner
in which the requisition papers were
made out. Attorney General Douglas of
Minnesota said that the papers were
made out better than any set he had
ever seen before, and several othe1
things of which District Attorney
lockwood Hoar may be proud
Inspector Stone was materially aided
in his mission after Manoogian by the
kindness of a former Worcester man.
Judge James ]. McCafferty, who is
United States commissioner in Seattle
Mr.. McCafferty happened to be in St
Paul, where he formerly lived, straight
ening out his affairs, and on meeting
Inspector Stone, helped him out on The
necessary arrangements for the start
home. He was several times threat
ened with habeas corpus proceedings in
behalf Of the prisoner but managed to
get away in time to offset them all.
He was on the road from o'clock
Sunday evening without a wink of
sleep, and was glad to get back to
Worcester.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Oct 24-The stock market
was distinctly reactionary today. Profit
taking was on very light scale, but
sales on this account were well alb
sorbed. When the fact of profit taking
became obvious some of the traders
turned bears and sold the market mod
erately, but they made no inroad on
values.
The market was inclined to drag.
Union Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio
were bid UP in the last hour and this
induced some slight covering by shorts.
Prices were unsteady at the close and
in many cases were on a downward
course. Realizing in the first hour was
much helped by a notable occasion of
outside demand which was attracted by
yesterdays rise following week Of
stubborn resistance to all attempts of
driving prices downwards.
This demand and continued manipu-
lation by a section of the bull party
served to wipe out pretty generally the
opening decline and bring the market
back to about last nights level Having
reached that level the downward course
began and with the exception of some
irregular fluctuations the market con-
tinued heavy below last nights level
for the rest Of the day. Special points
of weakness in the early dealings were
Sugar, American Tobacco, Mailing pre-
ferred Anaconda, Pullman and Brook
Ign Transit, Aggressive strength was
shown all day by United States Leather
which was taken in enormous lots and
rose to 22%. The close was a point be-
low that.
New York Central on fractional ad-
vance met very heavy offerings. The
stock moved somewhat irregular, dur
ling the day, within range of a point
below last nights level. The London
market reflected some depression upon
this market and the undertone there
was distinctly weak on the uneasiness
regarding the position Of British troops
in Natal. The suggestion of the chan
celIer of the excheQuer that a tax on
