A few other witnesses were examined as
to Roblnson's connection with the road
as joint contractor. On the part of the
defense Josiah Grout swore that Baker
gave him to understand that Robinson
was not joint contractor and that it was
intended to fix it SO he would not be held
on any trade made by the contractors.
That Robinson simply loaned Baker and
Foster money and was to share with them
in the profits on subcontracts. That Cur
rier gave him to understand that be could
not hold Robinson on any contracts made
with Foster and Baker. H. F. Bartlett
did work for Foster and Baker and loan
ed them money. Baker told him Robin
son was not liable to pay any debts con-
tracted by Foster and Baker. Rob-
inson told him the same. John A.
ter and Baker for the railroad and bro't
suit against them for his pay. That they
gave him to understand that Robinson
was not liable on their debts. A. B.
SuduG0 uCpOSGu tlldI CuFTler presented
his claim against Fosters estate, claiming
that Foster was to pay it. Geo. S. Rob-
inson testified that Lucius had told him
he was not liable on Curriers' account.
That he could find no entry in regard to
it on Lucius' books, nor among his pa
pers, and no allusion to it in any of Cur
rier's letters to Lucius. That Spaulding
told him he considered the $25 credit
given by Currier to Robinson as a joke,
and that Baker told him he knew moth
ing about such a transaction. B. S.
Burlington testified to overhearing con-
versation between Currier, Baker and
w. H. Human in which Currier attempt
cd to make Baker admit that he knew
something about the $25 payment in 1882,
on the ground that Currier had aided
Baker in some Of his suits against Robin
son, and Baker had ought to help him.
The arguments were made Saturday,
but we fail to get verdict for this issue.

THE CROPS AND BUSINESS.

The revised estimates of the prin-
cipal cereal crops of the country show
that wheat is likely to be more album
dant than last year, but corn, rye,
oats and barley will be in smaller
supply than usual. The wheat crop
is now put at 245, 100000 bushels;
oats, 500, 900, 900 bushels; rye, 3d.
600. 900 bushels. The loss in the
corn crop will be from forty to sixty
per cent as compared with the aver
age yield. 1t is estimated, however,
that there are 100000 bushels of
last years crop to be added to this
years yield. Wheat has gained an
advance in American and European
markets. The European crop is es-
timated at shortage of 25O, 900, 900
bushels as compared with good av-
erage. 1t is expected that the for
eign demand will be large and that
prices will be considerably higher
than at present. Marked improve
ment in various channels of business
is noted by the trade journals. The
wool market maintains its strength.
The export movement of merchan-
disc is increasing, as also west-bound
shipments of dry goods. There is
no plethora of money, but the volume
of currency in circulation and obtain
able is amply sufficient for all the
practical requirements of commerce
and productive industry. The feel
ing of confidence seems everywhere
growing, and the belief is quite gen.
eral that he long business depression
is about to give way to more health.

THE ELECTION.

Vermont maintains her reputation
and keeps up her republican majori-
ty, though it will be SONS less than
in 1884, when the vote was larger.
Every senator except one is repub-
lican, and of the two hundred and |
thirty-eight House members, less than
forty will be democrats. No green
hacker is chosen and no hird-party |
prohbitionist finds place in the leg
islature. Representatives Grout and
Stewart are chosen by large MAORI
ties. Gen. Gront ran ahead of the
ticket in many towns. Not more
than ten anti-Edmunds republicans
have been chosen, while several
democrats are reported to be instruct
ed for Edmunds. The Legislature
will perhaps contain less than its usu-
al number of prominent men: Luke
Poland of Waterville, Gen. E. H. Rip
ley of Mendon. Jas. Battell of Rip
ton, G.. P. Marsh of Woodstock, j.
c.. Stearns of Bradford and Major
Grout of Derby are among the most
prominent men on the republican side
while Judge Haselton of Burlington,
J. w. Currier of Troy are the leading
democrats chosen.
The result in Orleans county is pc
culiarly gratifying to republicans.
They carry every town but Troy, re-
deeming the old democratic town of
Holland. The thin skinned republic
ans about Troy, who could not stand
the course of Senator Edmunds in the
Blaine matter, make themselves no.
torious by voting for the well-known
John w. Currier, one of the most
rabid democrats in the state. They
will be entitled to all the glory John
w. wins for the county. The attempt
to poison the minds of the voters in
the Edmunds matter has been RI
diculous fizzle. 1t turns out that
many of our best democrats were
Edmunds men and that only here and
there was found a soil when any OF
the poisonous malaria could find 6
foothold. The prohibition vote is sc
small that it does not rise to a dignity

An Off Week in Freight Business.

Not for many months has the car movement
week ending January 16. There were received
and forwarded Is, sos, of which number ii, 191
were loaded cars. In the preceding week there
was total of 17499 cars handled, of which
number IL 027 were loaded cars. In the cor
responding week, 1885, there was total of 20,
III cars handled of which number IL, 785 were
loaded. From this it will be seen that in last
week there were 866 less loaded handled
than in the preceding week, and 2, 594 less than
IN the corresponding week, 1885, The falling off
is the most noticeable in east and west bound
tonnage. shipments of grain east showing
largely decreased movement and shipments of
live stock were not up to the usual average Should
the country roads remain in their present frozen
condition, a handsome increase in shipments of
grain eastward may be looked for the present
week, and live stock as we'll. Whether ship

to day, few days will tell. For months
past but little lumber has been going

tributed TO the fact that Eastern markets have
been overstocked. West-bound tonnage fell be-
low that of any week for two years past.
Freights were delayed on the trunk lines the
last ten days, more or less first by high water
and then by snow blockades. Everything is
clear now, however, and this weeks business will
doubtless be heavier Traffic over north and
