PRoyiDEscs, r. T., jar. 29.-For the past
thirteen years William A. Weeden, farMer
living on Cumberland Hill, has been perse-
cuted by unknown enemies. A dozen years
ago two large barns were burned, and in July,
1882, another barn was burned, together with
cattle and farming implements. Since then
his buildings have been defaeed, his well has
been defIed, the family tomb deseerated, oh
structions planted in the way of his moving.
machine, his farming tools stolen and found
broken, and an apparently organized attempt
made to injure him in every possible way.
Rewards were offered both by Mr.. Weeden
and the town for the detection of the crimi-
nails. The town police have been at work on
the case for a long time, and to-day, as the
result of confession made by Chas. A. Boss,
now in Jail at Cranstown awaiting trial on
another charge, warrants were issued against
Boss and Town Councillor Simeon Budlong,
of Cumberland, Boss as the principal and
RudlpHg as an accessory to the crime of burn
ing Weedep's barn in 1882, Ross swore that
Budlong, who is Weeden's near neighbor,
hired him to fire the barn.

Live Stock Trade of Chicago for 1888


The enormously heavy receipts of cattle and
sheep at the Chicago yards for the past year
exceed, by far, any previous year, and swell
the total value of all stock received to the al
most fabulous sum of 5000, 900, 900, while the
mammoth slaughtering operations of the vari-
Gus houses for the same period astonish even
the native Chicagoian. The DrOrerS' Jour
nal, published in that city, says:
The receipts Olive stock, cattle, hogs, sheep
and horses at the Union stock yards during
the past year show an aggregate of S,344, LA
head, and We are safe in yeHtpring the asser-
ton that no such amount of stock has ever
been handled in any market in the world,
where the condition as to healthtulness has
exceeded that of all the stock that has passed
through the stock yards during the year 1888.
| The stock making up the amount here given
has come from vast stretch of country, and
fairly represents all the region from Montana
to Old Mexico. Then we have had an in
creased supply of Eastern calves from New
York, Ohio and Michigan, and this kind of
stock has been remarkably healthy, and have
sold well, and hogs and sheep have been re-
markably free from disease. The gain in the
receipts of cattle and sheep has gone beyond
all expectation. During the year there were
received l,S78,978 cattle, 30,381 calves, s.,
663, 1888 hogs, 756, 127 sheep, and 14,723
year of 296, 448 cattle, 5,4l6 calves, 127, 240
sheen, s61 horses, and a decrease Of l5a,569
hogs. For shipment in the carcass there were
slaughtered near the stock yards $40, 1854 cat
tie, and for canning S9S. 9s7 cattle. As to the
number of cattle that have been slaughtered
for city consumption there is no reliable data
| by which we can come at the exact figures;
according to what seems to be the best guess
work estimate we can come at the number
used for daily consumption in Chicago during

stated that they did not commence slaughter

branch until the LIST of June.

The Hoppe will case ended on Monday by
the admission of the will to probate in the
Orphans Court and the payment by the exec
utors to the legatee, Mrs. Eliza Ann Byers,
wife of John Byers, S25, 900 of the $4,000
devised by the testator.
This case is one of peculiar interest, and
has been strongly contested. j. Henry Hoppe
was a citizen of Westminster, and died mites
tate in January, 1881. His estate was admin
istered upon by DIR. j. W. Herring, Ed. Hoppe
and l.. c. Myery. and amounted to about
S1S0,OOO. They had proceeded very far in
closing up when Eliza Ann Byers and John
Byers, her husband, through their attorneys,
Col VIM. p Maulsby and Judge John +.
Smith, presented to the Orphans Court
paper as will. The paper was a writing upon
the back of letter to Mrs. Byers on some
business, and was as follows:
Gam, don't worry yourself about this mat
ter, MS YOU see YOU are almost cut out on
every side by your father and your mother,
but you have been faithful daughter to me,
and have obeyed me, and you have seen a
great deal of trouble. Don't worry yourself,
but take things easy, and do the best you can
for the present. have prospered and have
accumulated great deal of money together,
and intend to do what | please with it. And,
Ann, after my death you are to have forty
thousand dollars. This you are to have, will
or no will. Take care of this letter until my
death. Ann, keep this to yourself.
~. HENRY HOPPE.
ITO Eliza Ann Byers."
The paper was contested by the executors
as a forgery. The case was removed from the
Circuit Court of Carroll to that of Washington
county, where it was tried in June 1882, the
ADVOCATE at the time publishing the full tes-
timony and details. The executors were rep
resented by Hon. Charles B. Roberts and
Col. Charles Marshall. The jury, after ten
days trial, decided the paper to be genuine,
having been written and signed by }. Henry
Hoppe. A new trial was asked and refused,
and the case was taken to the Court of APP
peals The Court of Appeals sustained the
court below. The paper or letter was again
presented to the Orphans Court of this coun-
ty. Issues were framed and taken to the
Court of Appeals again to determine whether
or not the letter was a testamentary paper,
and last Friday week the court decided it to
be sufficient as will. The letter was pre-
scented to the Orphans Court again, as above
stated, and the executors paid So, 10000 OF the
$40, 200 devised by the will. The legatee is
entitled to two years interest on the legacy,
and the principal and interest amount to s44,-
300
