HAGBERG HAS HIS USUAL
LUCK IN RECOUNTS

John G. Hagberg is nominated for
representative from Ward five beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
The recount yesterday afternoon OF
ballots cast for representative candi-
dates in the Ward five Republican eau
Gus resulted in a net gain of three
votes for Hagberg. The original count
gave John G. Hagberg 276, Frederick
Clee 265, blanks 40.
The recount was one of the quietest
affairs of the sort in the history OF
local politics. The registrars of voters
got together at 4 o'clock and in halt
an hour the agony was over. Mr.. Hag-
berg and Mr.. Clee were present, &C.
companied by few friends.
1t was stated yesterday, on good au-
thority, that Republicans of Ward
five would stand by the caucus nominee
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
| ing. There may be a few disgruntle6
persons, but those who consider the
future are doing all in their power tC
hold the ward in the Republican col
umn.

And the Tendency of Prices to
RetraCe Earlier Downward
Movement Revealed Predomin-
ance of Professional Operators
DEALINGS LESS THAN
HALF MILLION SHARES
No Very Urgent Selling Manifest
at Any Period of the day Al
though the Bears Succeeded in
Uncovering Stop Loss Orders
in Sugar

New York, Sept. 30.-The small volume
of the trading today and the tendency
of prices to retrace the earlier down
ward movement revealed the FREEDOM
inence of professional operations in the
market The dealings were less than
half a million shares and the late
hardening movement in the market re-
trieved approximately one-half of the
early decline.
There was no very urgent selling
manifest at any period of the day, al
though the bears succeeded in uncov-
ering stop loss orders in sugar and to
a smaller extent in Brooklyn Transit
and Missouri Pacific. The first named
stock fell an extreme 3s and the latter
N.two three points. Declines reached
points or over in a number of other
leading stocks notably amongst the
Pacifics, SouthWesterns and Wander
bits. Declines of to Az among the
Junior members of the last named
group gave emphasis of the feeling of
scepticism that has grown up regard
ing the much exploited rumors of a
plan for merging all themembers of the
group.
Amalgamated Copper continued I'M
der some pressure, but the declines
were resisted. The firm tone of the
spot copper market in London helped
the stock and it closed with a net loss
of rs. Assertions were made in
demonstTative way that the United
States stocks were to be advanced this
week on the ground of the declaration
to be made tomorrow of the regular
quarterly dividends on both the COM
mon and the preferred stocks and on
the present action of a detailed state
ment at tOmorrOw's meeting of the
flnanciers of the company. But these
intimations did not cause rush to buy
the stocks spectators being dis
trustful of industrials stocks since the
recent experience in Amalgamated
Copper
Statements that working agreements
had been made for the continuance of
Western Union wires along some rail
roads in which Pennsylvania owns an
interest were offered as disproving APP
prehension of hostilities between the
PENNSYLVANIA and the Gould interests.
The October currency requirement
kept uneasiness alive regarding the
money market future. seemingly with
little cause as sterling exchange
weakened today and New York eX-
change hardened at Chicago. The fact
that railroad earnings for the third
week in September increased over the
corresponding week of last year only
4.46 per cent compared with an in
crease for the second week of Hip per
cent was cited as evidence that the
corn crop shortage was beginning to
make an impression and last weeks
small grain receipts at Chicago formed
an argument for the bears The mar
ket closed firm at the rally caused by
covering of shorts.

lar. Total sales par value 81 $50, 900

MAY ED0UIN AT THE HEAD
OF GOOD VAUDEVILLE BILL

Eight star acts, with May Edouin at
the head, make the Park Theatre an
attractive place this week, and there
is promise Of large audiences at all the
performances. The show opens with
Ed. Estus, the equilibrist, who has
been seen at the Park before. He does
some difficult head and hands bal
ancing and shows unusual strength.
Following him comes Kennedy and
James in a skit called "Dr. Daffy, -
made up of rapid-fire repartee and
some dancing by the male member of
the team. Third on the bill is Leah
Russell, a clever comedienne, who sings
and tells some Hebrew jokes.
Miss Edouin, in her farce, "All in the
Family" comes fourth. She is as
sisted by Fred Edwards and together
they manage to put great deal of fun
into 20 minutes. Miss Edouin sings her
famous laughing song during the piece.
The story is of young Harry Haywood,
just returned from a. three years Yoy-
age around the world and possessed of
headache. He drinks some pain kill
er and goes to sleep. During his sleep
various women, all impersonated by
Miss Edouin, appear to him, claiming
to be his wives. They cause enough
trouble for four or five men.
Newell, Chinquilli and Dufrino, two
Of them full blooded Indians, have the
fifth place on the program. They give
some excellent musical numbers and
the young woman of the trio sings a
Cheyenne love song. George Austin,
assisted by the property man." has
a comedy slack-wire act that makes
one think that another property man
will be needed before the week is out.
Mr.. Austin also shows skill on the
wire. Frank Bush, the well-known
monologuist, appears next to last, with
a lot of new jokes and stories, and is
as thoroughly amusing as ever. The
show ends with an act by Bert Howard
and Leona Bland, called "A Strange
Boy" in which their comedy business
is interspersed with various musical

ASSISTANCE ASKED
OF BR0CKT0N POLICE

West Upton, Sept. 3O.-The police of
Brockton have been asked to locate, if
possible, a man and woman, wanted
in West Upton for shooting at a
pointer bird-dog, owned by eX-Post-
master Eben T. Hall. The couple
passed through West Upton in loco
mobile late Saturday afternoon and
their deliberate attempt at shooting a
harmless dog has aroused the ire of
the entire community.
The inhuman feature of the incident
was the shooting apparently without
provocation, of the valuable, full
blooded, pointer bird-dog owned by
Mr. Hall The act was witnessed by a
number of residents who live near the
home of ex-Postmaster Hall on Piano
Row.

CAPABLE CHEMIST

in charge of the Worcester sewage pur-
ification plant, yesterday was ap-
pointed superintendent of the precipi-
tation plant of Providence, r. l. Mr..

made a fattering offer which was ac-
cepted.

was born here and has lived here prac-
tically all his-life. He was educated
in the schools of this city and gradu

SEPTEMBER RECEIPTS
SHOW A FALLING OFF

The sales at Worcester postoffice for
September amounted to SIS, $685. So as
compared with 49, $3.50 for the cor
responding month of last year. The
falling off is credited to the fact that
there was an extra holiday in Septem-
ber and that business generally suf-
fered to some extent on account of the
death of the President. Up to the mid
die of the month the receipts were
$1100 in excess of last year but since
that time there has been a slight fall
ling off.
