Able Expositions From
the Distinguished
Counsel
THE ARGUMENTS /
H'N go on To-day. Progress of the
Interesting and Sensational
Motz Trial.
Special to STATE CHRONICLE.
SHELBY, n. c., Nov. 5. Argu-
ments OF counsel in the Motz case
were resumed this morning. Mr..
I. H. Cobb, for the State, declared
that seduction, however bad, is no
excuse for crime under the laws of
North Carolina. This had been
admitted by counsel for defense,
yet they had plead for verdict of ac-
quittal on those very grounds. If
it be true that seduction is no ex-
cuse under heaven for the awful
crime that had been commit
ted, why is it that seduc-
tion is the burden of the
argument of every lawyer
for the defense? Do you
sit here, he asked the jury, to give
your verdict according to your own
] feelings of mercy, or honestly upon
the. evidence as you have been
sworn. The story of Maggie Aotz
was the most damnable shoulder ever
made on the Christian religion of
North Carolina and of the world.
But grant that which was claimed.
What design would defendants have
formed. If they had been men they
would have killed the seducer, but
why did they not shoot him down
like men. 1t was because they did
not want it known. Johns
) loaded gun, the watchful
ness of Caldwell, the habit
of carrying Of pistol by
Charles all proved that they hae
tried peaceful means of inducing
r Michael to marry their sister, they
now resorted to force. Mr.. Cobl
then went carefully into the evi
dence in detail to prove from mi
+ mute circumstances and declaration
L that the prisoners had expres-e'
malice against Samuel Motz, an
q that his homicide was designed.

 Sometimes she sat by her husbands side painting picture for the parsonage, sometimes with the father and Phil at the organ, or piano, but more frequently with "the Blessed" who loved to watch her bright face and listen to her cheerful voice.

From North Plains, N. Y., comes cu- rious story: A sparrow's nest has been discovered in tearing down an ivy vine from the Baptist church there, built of bank notes of denominations ranging from $1 to $5. When the bills had all been collected the nest was found to be worth $5s, This discovery explains much troub- le that has occurred in the church. There have been several thefts from the church funds which have stirred up much i'll feel ing and caused split in the church. In consequence two pastors have resigned, deacons have come to: blows, and factions have grown up. The conclusion now Is that the sparrow flew into the church through the open windows. in summer, and took the bills, unnoticed, for nest building material.

THE article on page, 1st (received too late for publication last week, as intend ed), on cemeteries in Somers, is timely, and other towns might we'll localize 1t, for as @ rule old cemeteries are neglected in all our towns, Stafford having disgrace full instance of 1t. But our own beautiful "God's acre" at the Springs does much to offset the neglect. The plan of setting aside one-fourth of the amount received for each lot sold, to be added to a perpet- ual improvement fund, is the best possible guarantee to lot owners against neglect of their burial places, and its appreciation is shown in the fact that lots are sold to residents of other towns.

Palmer Journal: Next Friday the re- publicans of the 1st Hampden senatorial district will meet at Palmer to nominate 8 candidate for senator. The nomination belongs to and is conceded to Eastern Hampden, but whatever seekers after the office there may be they are not aggress- i've. Lawyer s. s. Taft of Palmer, who has been considered in this connection, will not be a candidate, and the only oth- CT Palmer man at all likely to be put for ward is Lawyer W. W. Leach, who has served term in the house, and doubt less will be ready to go up higher if the call should come. He is, withal, young man, and popular. Dea. N. s. Hubbard of Brimfield is likely to be presented to be presented to the convention as a worthy and capable candidate, and Monson may bring forward A. A. Gage or s. F. Cush- man. These are all good names, and the nominee this year will have a good pros pect of being elected Jas Lawyer Carpenter of Springfield, the successful democratic candidate last year, will not run again, and that party has not found man yet who will make his place good.

 To INSPECT THE RoAD.-W. K. VAN DERBILT, CHAUNCEY DEPEW AND OTHER OFFICIALS MAKE A SPECIAL TRIP.-A spec ial train left the Grand Central Depot yesterday morning. It was composed of two cars, and took the Vanderbilt party west to make the regular fall inspection of the New York Central and West Shore Railroads. The party on board were w. K. Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew, H. Walter Webb, third vice president, and Mex. Twombly. Private Secretary Duval explained the theory of the trip, a trip which is repeated twice a year, in the spring and fall. The train does not run on any schedule or arrange stops only at stations. The reason is the fact that the officials are inspecting the condition and requirements of two great railroads. If a request is made for station at given point they look into 1t; if reports are heard of the bad condition of track or a bridge they look into it personally.
 The above clipping, taken from New York daily paper, shows how one of the largest and best managed railroads in the United States treats it's local patrons, and is in striking contrast with the Central Vermont way of doing business. If the officers of the Central Vermont Railroad Co. were to visit Stafford and give the people an opportunity to state their wants they would be told that Stafford desired first, decent passenger station second a better arrangement of the passenger trains; third, a gradual doing away with the grade crossings within the town ; fourth, that Stafford shall be made bill. ing point for through freight from the west. No town in the state of Connecti. cut of the size of Stafford has as poor a railroad station or as unfair an arrange. ment of the passenger trains. Two oi the grade crossings Gone near the Mineral Springs Mfg Co.'s mill, and the other on the West Stafford road) are the worst death traps on the whole line of the N. l.. N. R. R., and could both be abolished at a very slight expense. The refusal of the company to make Stafford billing point for through freight from the west com pels our business men to pay the exorbi- tant local freight charges from either Palmer or Willimantic and places them at great disadvantage in competing with other towns. These requests are not made by few kickers, but are urged by all of the residents of Stafford and the towns tributary to 1t. STAFFORD.

Bill Nye has written letter to the New York Herald, thanking it for 8 rather scathing criticism of his play, "The Cadi, J produced recently. Referring to the al legged absence of plot in the piece, he spikes the enemy,s guns in this manner: 'I am writing plot for the play now, which I think will add to 1t. Several persons have told me that a good plot would not necessarily interfere with the play, so am going to have one."

J. H. Hale, in The Courant: An ex- perienced fruit dealer in New York city who has recently made a trip through the leading apple districts of the country says the greatest crop of all is in New Jersey, Long Island and southern Connecticut, and people here must not make the mis- take of judging from the crop in these sections that prices will rule low. He is of the opinion that good fruit will sell at from $2 to $3 per barrel before Decem- Der. Prices in England have thus far been good on all shipments. The crop here in Connecticut Is in spots very fine, but in other sections while the fruit is large and showy, 1t is very wormy, and will have te be marketed promptly if much is to be realized on 1t. Shippers are offering 75 cents per barrel for white, and $1 for red fruit in the orchard, ship pers to supply barrels, and unless one has extra sound fruit and cold storage 1t is doubtful if much more than this can be realized except by combination in the pur- chase of large quantities of new barrels,

How TO KEEP POSTED ON FASHIONS. Fashions change in a day. The lady who attends ball, reception, or tea, in toilet that to-day is in the height of the fashion, may, a week or 8 month later, If arrayed in the same, be pronounced de- cidedly out of the style by her better posted friends. She may read many of the so-called fashion journals and yet never discover the fact that she is left by the procession. To the rescue of such comes Fashions, the new monthly journal published at Springfield by Forbes < Wal lace, and devoted, as it's name implies, to fashions. In launching this new enter prise on the popular wave the publishers have spared no expense to make 1t all 1t claims to be. Arrangements have been made with Mrs. Lucy H. Hooper, where by theParis styles, present and about to be inaugurated, will each month be carefully treated; while the London styles will be treated by the pen of that gifted woman, Lady Violet Gregville. The publishers enjoy special facilities for inspecting all the new designs and fabrics as soon as they appear in any of the fountain-head of style; so the readers of Fashions can not fail to benefit thereby. The special photographs from M. Worth, of Paris, which are furnished this journal exclusive ly, are very notable features and bespeak the enterprise of the publishers. In or der to get large subscription list quick ly Forbes < Wallace will give away one thousand dollars in gold to those who get up the largest clubs. The first number, which they send free to those who write first, gives details of the offer.
