rHP WITNESSES Mum.


After the persons who had witnessed the
execution had signed their names 10 War
den Browns certificate they came out of the
Marden's office. One after the other they
quickly entered hacks and drove rapidly to
the depot. None OF them would give any
information except TO say that Loppy had
met painless death, and that the execu-
ton was perfectly successful. The doc
tors who had made the autopsy were
equally nOn-cOmmlttal. While waiting at
the depot for trains TO take them TO their
homes they were Piled with all sorts of
questions for the purpose OF asceTtalnlng
whether the dsagreeable features which
were cOnspicuousln the execution Of Sml-
Ter were repeated IN the killing OF Loppy.
All the doctors evaded these questions,
and said they had given their word not 20
reveal any information.
THE LAW CARRIED our" sATs THE WARDEN.
The utmost that could be gotten from
Warden Brown was that the execution was
carried out Just as at the same time Of the
killing of the four men in the same chair
last July. The Warden refused TO give
any information, except TO say that the
law had been carried out and that the 3x-
ecutlOn Of LOppy was success.
The observation reporters who saw the
flag bOisted which announced death differ
slightly, but the current was undoubtedly
applied from three TO five minutes past
noon. This hour was chosen because at
that hour the machinery in the workshops
is stopped, and the cOnvicts are at dinner,
and the entire power Of the engine was
available for the dynamo. The only evil
dence on the outside of the prison Of the
tragic event in the death-chamber was the
armed guards patrolling their posts. At
! O'Clock the convIcts resumed work in the
shops Just as though nothing unusual had
occurred,

MONUMENTS SMALL.

The movements in most of the list, how
ever, were like those for the past month
small and insignihcant--and while there
was good buying of many of the prom;
nent shares, notably the Yanderbilts and
the Industrials, there was special pressure
made upon the Northern Pacific stocks
and later upon Missouri Pacific. At the
same time Union Pacific sympathized with
the weakness in these shares and Pacific
Mail was sold down on the loss of one OF
Its new steamers. Northern Pacific pre-
ferred was under the hammer throughout
the entire day and its early loss was in
significant, the common following closely,
but it was not until the late afternoon,
when Missouri Pacific was attacked with
such vigor, that the general list gave eyl-
dence OF being affected in any way by the
nrasaurn.

NRLEANS County does not acknowledge the charge

in measure in with all portions of the country
the depression in prices Of farms and farm products and
the general upon all industries but she has resist
ed such pressure easily and noby than many
TONS and is better prepared to respond at to
prosperous conditions and ready to improve all avorng
circumstances. This is largely due to her varied
We venture the assertion that there is less
waste land in this County than any other in the State
and therefore proportonaly greater number of
that can be proftaby TILED The soil generally strong
adapted not only to grazing but to the production of all
kinds of crops that thrive in this latitude The four
principal rivers Barton Black Clyde, and AIissssquoi,
with their numerous tributary brooks, well water the
tire County, aordng not only the finest pasturage and
extensive and choice meadow lands but also furnishing
at very many points the finest possible power for varied
manufacturing industries. Large portions of every town
are specially adapted to dairy purposes. Large and fine
dairy farms found in all sections, several creameres
are in successful operation while all progressive farmers
are adopting all the best and most improved methods and
appliances yielding gilt edge product which brings the
highest prices. We have not at hand statistics proof
the fact remains that Orleans County is rapidly reach
ing the front in the amount and quality of her dairy
products.
The facilities for sheep husbandry equally good,
while not a few successfully raising and fattening cat
tie for market
This County offers special and very strong inducement
in the mixed of farming operations to which she is
admirably adapted. Main dependence need not be placed
upon any particular product. All the main crops are
practically with proper culture Corn, oats, wheat and
potatoes yield bounul crops while in localities the
growing of vegetables and small fruits is being made very
profitable. This is emnenuytrue in Newport and Derby

The lumber interest is doubt the great money inter-
est of the County at the present time How long this
will continue not accurately be computed but one
thing is certain: The beautiful winding Connecticut will
always pour its crystal flood along the eastern borders
the grand presidential peaks of the White Mountains will
always loom up the east in full view from every
hill in the County; the solemn stiffness of the woods and
the sweet music of waterfalls will remain, and bye and
bye the cities and the country fill up, people will
want to this glorious scenery this panorama of ma
ture The present and future inhabitants Of Essex
County hardly afford to ignore or to neglect their
great opportunities place of summer resort
they afford to give up to wilderness again the farms that
are fit for cultivation Some of the poorer lands may
well be left to grow up again to timber, and the
mainder be intensely worked. Markets
and Heights are lower to those markets from Essex
County than from many other parts of the State. On
the whole, think that the blessings of Gods Provi
dence pretty fairly distributed through Vermont by
Counties, and that Essex is neither last nor least

Springs, and ST. Adams Point and Maquam Bay, are

shores of Lake Champan also being largely used for
camping purposes and the outlying villages coming
in for a share of summer boarders.
MANUFACTURES.
The County has pretty good representation in this
line, but still there is room for much Montgomery
may be considered the banner town of the County for the
manufacture of butter tubs Richford has extensive
lumber mills and manufactures for butter trays and
boxes, Enosburgh Falls is known far and wide for the
variety and amount of patent medicines manufactured,
Higbgate is well known for it's edgetool factory and
foundry work, Swanton for its lime and marble works
and several important manufactures, and ST. Adams for
n large variety of industries too to mention
here.
There are excellent opportunities for engaging in in
dustral pursuits. Good water privileges may be found
the Mssisquoi river in the seventyfve miles of its de-
vous through the County; also the Lamoile
river with fair quantity of timber for manufacturing
purposes. The right kind of men with sufficient capital
is what is most wanted to utilize and develop these long
neglected privileges and turn them to good account in
desirable manufacturing enterprises
EDUCATIONAL, RELIGIOUS, ETC
The County is well supplied with educational advan-
tages Aside from the district schools which usually
we'll maintained several of the towns have graded schools
with higher departments conducted liberal plan.
The academca schools of Swanton, Fairfax, Bakersfield
and St Adams ably conducted and literally patron
lied.
Perhaps other part of the State is better supplied
with religious advantages. Every village and hamlet al
most has churches, and the different evange
ical denominations well represented.
There one daily and five weekly newspapers and
live agricultural society that has been in existence for
twenty-five years. L know of no socalled aban-
doned farms in the County Occasionally farms adver
tsed for SALE and is probable that purchases could be
made at fair rates. if desired by those seeking homes in
prosperous and intelligent community.
