allzatlon would be continued on an even
greater scale and several new failures
would be announced While there was
distinct and heavy pressure directed upon
all securities, especially high grade and
inactive stocks causing several new low
records It was clear evidence that the
largest financial interests were putting
their shoulders to the wheel with view
to preventing panic.
EYen IN the face OF heavy support and
much short coverings stocks melted under
the heavy offerings 10 new low records,
but there was a feeling that the big men
had the situation under control. The re-
eoyery Of IL points was made upon the
announcement that all the sheets had
passed the clearing houses all right.
Laidlaw and Carrie, members Of the
Consolidated Exchange, announced their

SMOOTH TAKERS.
Stowe Farmer Falls victim 20 Lightning
Rod Agent.


Waterbury, Aug, Frank I.add, a
farmer in Stowe, wants to see the light
ming rod men that visited his place last
week. Hsalso wants the note for $500
which he gave one of the men for work
done. Mr. Ladd was in town today and
gave instructions to the Waterbury Ma
tional bank that he did not want the note
paid He also consulted an attorney and
will take every possible means to regain
his money. He considers that he has
been swindled and wants the public to be
on their guard. Last week Thursday a.
man signing his name as f. Wilson called
upon Mr.. Ladd and after considerable
smooth talk drew a contract b put iight-
ming rods on Mr. Ladd's house. Mr. Ladd
states that the man said the rods would
not cost him more than S. OF Sc in view
OF the fact that he and some of his men
would probably board there.
The next day man by the name Of w.
Bentcliif called. Both men acted as
agents for Cole Brothers The rods were
put up and when the work was done Bent
cliff gave a receipt for $500 note given
by Mr.. Ladd, which he claims vas the
cost ef the job Later Mr.. Ladd met w
T, Harris Of Stowe. Mr.. Harris had
lightning rods placed on his house and
barn by the same parties. When they
had finished their work, $500 was de-
manded as the price, Mr.. Harris not
having signed the note, objected to paying
such sum and finally settled the bill for
$50. All this Mr. Ladd learned after the
lightning rod men had gone away he is
now trying to make connections with his
note and the smooth takers.
