Visitors There Today.
Several hundred visitors braved the
weather today-possibly a thousand
and attended the State fair. The ex-
hiDits were the attraction. The Mid
way shows did not attempt to do bust

of the class who were on pleasure

Fears Strong Arm Work.
Thaw was fearful of what he called
strong arm work. After his experience
at Coaticook yesterday nothing wou.A
surprise him. Jeromes presence fill
ed him with terror. The unwelcome
ease of liberty yesterday with its
thrills and responsibilities left him
trusting entirely to counsel and making
few suggestions.
Thaw himself does not know except in
one case, the identity of the three men
who caused him to be set down over
the line at Norton Mills. The man he
does know is Agent Parkinson, chief
of the Dominion secret service and it
was at Parkinson's head Thaw hurled

pearance of a convention asSemblage

c. Peet & Co., New York City, whole

In 1876 he Joined the Fourteenth Reg

of the head of the ticket. In the fol-
lowing year he offered for the board of
aldermen and was elected to represent
the FFifty-flrSt aldermanic district on
that board for the term of 1904-5. In
the latter year he was returned for the

New York Stock Market.

Wall ST. New York, Sept. u-STOCKS-.
Demand for stocks fell off today and
prices worked downward. The market was
again governed largely by the heavtness
of Union Pacific.
Although the trend was steadily lower,
the volume of offerings contracted as
prices went down and losses escaped frac-
tionally in only few cases. Specialties
which had been prominent recently were
qufeter and many of these stocks suffered
in common with the leaders.
Bonds were steady.
Demand for stocks was less keen at the
opening today and while changes as
whole were irregular a definite tendency
downward was noticeable among the
leading speculative mediums. Union Pa-
cific, which rose buoyant yesterday,
showed the effect of realizing sales and
fell back a point. Steel, Reading, South
ern Pacific and Amalgamated were frac-
tionally lower.
The market closed firm Canadian Pa
cific, which had moved narrowly all the
week, was suddenly bid up over two
points. All other western stocks enjoyed
renewed strength, ostensibly on the
weakness of wheat and corn. Business
was more active at the end with brisk
absorption of Southern Pacific going on.

Both Messrs. Jerome and Kennedy

a high handed piece of work. 1t was
neither fair to Thaw, a lunatic, nor to
the state of New York. Moreover it
upsets the principles of justice based on
the habeas corpus act and I do not
doubt that it will result in more or less

said. IF those who put Thaw across
