 Create a Sensation.

Tiverton, R. l., Sept. 8.-The liver ton meteor of August 27 was today removed from the realm of natural phenomena by two young men who confessed to the police that the sup posed celestial visitor was composed of sixty pounds of dynamite and a quantity of copper slag.
 The meteor" which was reported to have fallen ill the Seaconnet river, was accompanied by a binding light and de2fening crash.

FREEDOM FOR THAW.
Lawyer Says His Charces Are Better
 Than They Ever Were.

Montreal. Sept. 8-According to J. U. Greenshields, of Thaw counsel, one of the main hopes of the defense aside from the fight against the immigration act itself, is an alleged irregularitY in the proceedings taken by the immigra- ton officers. It is contended that they did not have a formal order from the minister of justice to take Thaw in charge which the defense claim is nec- essary under the act when the alien aafTected had been in the country over days.
 Shaw had been in the contruy over fifteen days when he was surrendered to the immigration officials and T. R. E. McInnes. K. C., has made an affidav- 1t to the effect that the immigration men took Thaw in charge without hav- ing proper authority from the minis ter.
 He states that before the beard of inquiry he demanded that K. Blake Rob- ertson assistant superintendent of i'm migration. produce this document if he had it. and that the latter declined to do so.
 The second reason cited to Judges Gervais and Cross in the informal ap- plication made by Thaw's counsel be- fore the matter was brought into chambers Friday was the unconstitu- tionality of the act.
 The third point Is in the misuse of the act to supplement and aid the en- forcement of law and order in New York state Thaw. it is pointed out, is accused of escaping from an insane asylum He escaped to Canada. and the crime of which he IS accused is not one included in the extradition treaty. Therefore efforts were being made to have the immigration act do what the eXtradition treaty would not to throw him back into the hands of the United States authorities, who would then proceed against him for he crime he had committed against their laws
 .'Thaw's chances of ultimate freedom are better now than they have been at any time since he was first arrested on a charge of murder" summed ID MT. C2reenshiesIds. '@The immigration act is full of holes It ii a positive dis grace to Canada"

 number of serious accidents have occurred at the crossing within the last few years, and recently, by order of the public utilities commission, a fagman was placed on duty there. Charles Williams was on duty this afternoon, when he saw the Millar au- tomobile and the fast speeding train approaching at about the same time. According to eye witnesses, Williams picked up a white flag and waved a frantic warning to the automobile. MT Millar. who was driving the machine, apparently did not see the flag, or else paid no attention to it..
 The automobile was squarely on the track when the train struck it. The machine was crushed by train and MT Millar thrown to one side of the tracks. He was dead when picked up. Mrs. Millar's body was caught in the cow catcher and carried along to the Catharine street crossing before the train could be brought to a stop. Pas sengers of the express rushed out, the sudden bringing. up of the train caus- ing a scare. John E. Stevens of this city, a passenger and trainmen as sisted in disentangling the mangled body of the woman from the cow catcher
 Miss MilIar and Miss Guthrie were thrown clear of the train Both were badly bruised and cut and internal in juries are feared At the NOrwalk hospital tonight it was said that phy- sicians entertain but small hopes for Miss Guthrie's recovery.
 Mir. Millar was a landscape artist and was well known in this vicinity.

 The voters responded to the appeal in larger numbers than voted at the last presidential election with fair weather and the fact that the fall har- vest has not yet begun helping the party managers in getting out the vote.
 Triumph for Protection.

Blaine afterward secretary of state under Presidents Garfield and Harrison.
