Show . "Quieting Down in Montreal. Montreal, October 2. Owing no doubt to the very excellent precautions taken by the mayor, the city last night was quiet and the streets almost deserted. There are three companies of garrison artillery under arms at the Exhibition buildings, with a troop of cavalry doing patrol duty outside. There were 100 constables on hand at the central police station, but their services not being required they were sent home at 10 o'clock. There are also volunteers on guard at the various armories. The chairman of the Board of Health stated last night that the Mayor had been arrested at the instance of Hon. Louis Beau-ben Beau-ben for taking forcible possession of the exhibition ex-hibition grounds for a small-pox hospital. |
