CHICAGO AND ST.. PAuL-This sixth
day of January, Chicago and st. Paul
will be put in direct communication
with eacl other. There are now two
rail routes for part of the way, but
neither is direct There has long been
an active and determined rivalry be-
tween the Chicago and Northwestern
railway and the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul for the trade of Minnesota and
Northwestern Wisconsin. The North
western got control of the West Wiscon-
sin, running from st. Paul to Tomah,
one hundred and seventy-six miles, and
for a considerable period has had a
branch to Madison. To construct a
road from Madison to Tomah was no
easy job. The distance is less than fifty
miles, but the hills are many and high.
Three tunnels had to be bored That
line through, and Chicago win have d.
rect and continuous railway connection
with Dakotah territory, 500 miles.

and calm without visible tremor, look

Stokes, what have you now to say why
the sentence of death should not be

by the jury; / feel convinced of that
l know that public clamor has been
aroused on account of the frequency of
murders in New York city. (Here he
paused for several seconds) | know
the evidence of homicide on which was

and is manufactured; and | believe the
prosecution know it, and the District
Attorney knew it, and the counsel for

up the case. / hope your Uonnr will
make the sentence as brief as possible.
Stokes spoke deliberately, with hes
itatiop now and then as of collecting his
thoughts-not by any means as if deliv-
ering set and prepared speech. His
eyes were fixed on the desk in front, but
sometimes were lifted and wandered
round, resting for a few seconds on each
face within. their easy range.
Without a moments pause Judge
Boardman gave

THE REMOVAL FROM COURT.

When the reading was finished Sheriff
Brennan received the warrant and turn
cd with his prisoner to leave the room.
In some way he was a little in advance
of Stokes, who, on noticing it, stretched
out his arm in a nervous, distracted
way, as if fearing to be left behind, and
claiming the Sheriff's support. Thus
leaning on the latters arm he left the
court, and the Crewd was not long in
following through another door. The
question of the payment of the witnesses
was then raised in the room, and the
map of the Grand Central railway was
removed from the wall back of the desk,
while Stokes was conducted to the
Sheriff's office below and locked up
against intruders. An immense crowd
filled Chambers street jealousy watch
ing the doorway on that side, and surg
ing up around two carriages, whose mis-
sion they interpreted. There was de-
lay of nearly an hour and the thrOng in
creased every moment. At last the
police opened a way through the mass
and Sheriff Brennan issued with his pris-
oner, whose father and brother followed
with Mr.. Tremain. The carriage drove
rapidly past a crowd, which half turned
to follow them, to find a second thrOng
awaiting them at the prison. The bal
cOny which crosses the whole front Of
the block above the Tombs was filled
with spectators. and the sidewalks below
equally overlooked.

family and friends. Your disgrace is
reflected upon them who are pure. Your
dishonor casts an UNI Just but unavoidable
stain upon their truth and virtue. 1t is
frightful legacy to leave to family
a spectre that death alone can vanquish.
1t were idle. if it were possible, for me
to trace the paths from innocence to
crime: to tell the tale of appetites
lmrestrained, of passions fierce, vindlc-
tive, and unbridled. l cannot do 1t.
Let the time which the law gives you be
devoted to reflections upon your past,
repentance for your sins, and prepare
ton for that great change so feartully
near YOU. Don't delude yourself with
uncertain hopes of pardon and clemency.
Edward S. Stokes, in obedience to the
requirements of the law this Court or
ders and directs that you be taken hence,
in the custody of the Sheriff of the City
and County of New York to the prison
from whence you came; that you be
there confined in close custody by said
Sheriff until the 28th day of February,
1879 and that on that day, between the
hours of eleven o'clock in the morning
and three o'clock in the afternoon, you
be hanged by the neck until you be
dead, and may God have mercy on your
soul.
As the different illusions in the Judges
words came, one after another, to the
friends, to the counsel, to the jury, and
to the Judges own action during the
case, Stokes raised his eyes and glanced
from one to another of those l@med or
nodded as if in assent With something
of sadness in them, his eyes rested on
his mother and brother for moment as
the Judge spoke of his youth and the
disgrace his crime would bring upon his
family. But his self-possession kept
down any further emotion, and be sill
emily sat down as the sentence ended.
Another sigh Of relief went through the
court room when the assignment of the
fatal date seemed to set death out of i'm
mediate presence, and even before the
death warrant was read the crowd, stated
or hurried, began to issue from the
room.

Late Markets.
CHEESE.


There is no material change in the
condition of the market, and prices re-
main the same. New Years is always a
dull week, but probably during the
month the developments will lead to
something more definite. There was
thought to be a little better feeling IN
New York, and rather more inquiry for
shipping, though it will be seen that the
shipments are light. The cable has
gone down another shilling, and freights
continue high.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were 1893
boxes, and the exports were 3, Alb boxes.
The cable was 63s. Gold closed at 111Bs,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
145c. For the corresponding week last
year the receipts were 1857 boxes, and
the exports were 6,087 boxes. The
cable was 63s. Gold closed at 109t, and
the highest quotation for cheese was IA
cents.
BUTTER.
The market at St. Adams, Tues
day. was fairly active, and prices
ruled about the same as last week.
Common to fair, 10 to 90 Gets; medium
to good, 20 to 2G cents; choice lots, %
to 30 cents.
The market has a better tone for good
to fine butter, and there.has been an i'm
provement of to cents in quotations.
State firkins are worth in New York 30
to SO cents, and fine half-frkins, 81 to
40 cents. Welsh tubs are quoted about
the same as State. The Producers Prize
Cls2ra1lt says: owe learn from travel
ers and correspondents that the stock in
the interior has been lately much reduc-
ed. City buyers have gone through and
picked up nearly all the good butter in
the State some of it is still held back,
but a good portion is forward. With a
continuance of the good demand of De
cember, we shall soon cut down our
stocks. 1t now looks as if we shall have
use for new butter IN the spring fully as
soon as it is likely to appear. In Cali
fornia, we learn, rains have been fire.

Starving reveals many curious psyche
logical facts. AS rule it develops, in
an unnatural degree, the strongest quail
ties that a man possesses, but circum-
stances modify this rule much. Among
undisciplIned masses ferocity and demo-
raliZation are certain results; but when
its approaches are gradual and directed
and governed by noble example and the
strong hand of authority its effects are
quite different. One phenomenon in the
expedition of Strain at an early day in
Darien, especially as it was not confined
to one, but was exhibited by all the Off
GERS, not excepting even Strain at the
last, deserves especial notice From the
time that food became scarce to the close,
and Just in proportion as famine inCreas-
ed, they did not gloat over visions of
homely fare, but revealed in gorgeous
dinners. So strangely and strongly did
this whim get possession of their minds,
that the hour of hating, when they could
indulge undisturbed in these rich revel-
ries became an object of the deepest in
terest. While hewing their way through
the jungles, and wearied and overcome
until they were ready to sink, they would
cheer each other by saying. "Never
mind; when we 60 into camp we'll heye
a splendid supper, meaning, of course,
the imaginary one they designed to en-
JOY. TruXton and Maury would pass
hours in spreading tables loaded with
every luxury they had ever seen or heard
of. Over this imaginary feast they
would gloat with the pleasure of a gour-
mand, never seeing the incongruitv of
the thing. They would talk this over
while within hearing of the means of
the men. and on one occasion discussed
the propriety of giving up in the future
all stimulating drinks, as they had been
informed it weakened the appetite. As
hereafter they designed. if they ever got
out, to devote themselves entirely and
exclusively for the rest Of their lives to
eating, they soberly concluded it was
wrong to do anything to lessen its pleas
