a FEARFUL DOOM.
Mrs. Meaker Ready to be Hanged on
Next Friday


Next Friday.
WINDSOR, VT. March 24.--The case of Mrs
Emeline Meaker, whose execution is 80 near
at hand, is almost q pitiable one, as she has no
friend who cares TO visit her. Even her hus-
band and daughter have refused to receive her
dead body, and will not make farewell visit
before the execution Friday, March 30th Mr..
Meak er is but A years old, and was married at
the age OF Is to b. G. Meaker. She, with her
son, committed the murder OF Alice Meaker IN
Waterbury April %, 1880, which was one OF
the most brutal and eold-blooded ON record.
Her son, who was as guilty as she, was COM
mitted for life. Soon after Mrs. Meaker came
here she tried to play the insanity dodge, but
without avail, giving vent to her temper In
many ways, such as attacking the officers and
keepers, scratching and biting them. scream
ing, etc She has, however, excited no SYM
pathy, and scarcely pity, by such outbursts of
passion. She denied from the first having any
connection with the crime, or even knowing
about 1t, and says the confession of her sou
was made up and scared into him TO save his
own neck. She has been informed that she
will certainly be hanged next Friday, and
realizes that no effort has been made TO stay
the proceedings. She knits and sews all the
time, Is strictly guarded by an officer, but
keeps her own counsel, and Is anxious TO see
the galows before she goes out for the last
time. She says she will walk alone, for her
conscience is clear, and adds that her mur-
derers will repent some day. She evinces no
sorrow fof her past deeds. and has no desire
for religious consolation. Being very deaf, ii
is extremely hard TO converse with her, aud to-
day she was calmly and busily at work She
had not yet seen her son, Almon, who is at
work making shoes and who seems TO mani
fest no anxiety for his mother or her fearful
doom. She is strong and muscular and gains
in flesh daily, aud it is thought that she win
20 through the ordeal with the same fortitude
as men have done. This being the first women
executed in New England. much interest Is
felt to see how she will go through the scene.
and many applications have been made TO see
the execution, which win be conducted as
privately as the law demands. Sheriff Amsden
will perform the sad duty.

Our ncighboring territories are sinking
artcsian wells for the purpose Of procuring
water for irrigation. The greatest change
that the procuring of water in this way will
work can easily be imagined. Instead of
barren wastes good for no purpose but the
pastorage of sheep, in the slmingtime, the
soil can be made to yield large crops of
grain forest tree, would take the place Of
sage brush and the unproductive prairies
made productive. The expenditure would
not greatly exceed the amount yearly paid
for bitches and would add materially to
the wealth and prosperity Of the people.
