LIFE N THE BALANCE.
Opening u The Second Trial oi James 4. TIE
fethsn for Murder.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept 1s-James A.
Trefethen, this morning at o O'Clock, had
the beginning of the second trial for his
life. The prisoner has been anxious for
this to take place, for he has been assured
by his counse: that there is more than an
even chance for him to 60 free. The new
evidence on both sides which, it is said.
will be introduced will make this trial a.
interesting as the former.
The presiding justices are Sherman,
Dunbar and Bradley. The government is
represented, as on the occasion Of the ear
ler trial. by Attorney General Pillsbury
and ex-Dstrict Attorney Cooney, while
Ex-Governor long. Hon. Marcellus Cog
gan and William Schofeld are upholding
the prisoners side.
The jury was selected from panel tf
los jurors, selected from every part 81
Middlesex county, with the exception tf
Medford, in which place, it is claimed
by the government, Tena Davis met her
death.
The evidence of Mrs. Sarah l.. Herbert,
the clairvoyant, will again be offered. IL
was the ruling-out of this testimony at
the first trial that secured second trial
Dy L lFtIebnens = COunSei. IL Is hiSo stdteh
that another clairvoyant will be produced
whose evidence is
Stronger Than Mrs. Herbert's.
Two young men are also among the list
If new witnesses, and they will testify
tba, on the night of the supposed murder
they were riding over the bridge, and,
hearing scream, followed by splash.
that they Immediately returned to the
spot but could discover no siRus of any
one. They will testify, so it is said, that
no carriage was on the bridge at the time.
The reason they did not appear before is
that they did not believe Trefethen would
be convicted. They live in Charlestown.
The other testimony will be a
Repetition Of Former Evidence.
Mrs Davis, the mother Of Tena, was on
hand when the court opened this morn
ing, ready to tell what she knows Of the
mysterious death of her daughter.
Trefethen has gained II or Is pounds dur
ing bis confinement. No one except his
immediate relatives and counsel have
been allowed to visit him. For about an
hour each day he is allowed exercise out
side the corridor. and in this he walks
about four miles during the time allotted
to him. In his cell his time is taken up
by reading historical works and In writ
ing. He has been q model prisoner and
has given the officers of the prison no
trouble whatever.

Sensible Advice.
Correspondence of THE DEMOCRAT.

torfespondence or THE DEMOCRAT
 Well, farmers, spring is here, and how does your pulse beat on cotton planting? Do you mean to plant a large crop and get small price for it, or small crop and get big price for it? This question is sim pie for you to decide. The over production of cotton is not only det- rimental to the farmers success, but to that of the merchant, doctor and lawyer as well. This being the case should we not strive to raise those things which are most needed at home, such as corn, wheat, oats and potatoes. If we will follow this rule it will be an easy matter to have our corn cribs and smoke houses at home instead of in town, and will also keep us from making large store accounts, which are dragging the farmer down to poverty more and more each year they indulge in it. It seems to me that the merchant really mistreats the farmer, or at least part of them by selling them more goods than they can pay for. This should never be done They should only be allowed to buy what they can pay for. Some men will buy as long as possible, and such must have the brake thrown on or they will bring trouble upon them selves and their creditors.
 Some say we are living in the gar den spot of Arkansas, and l really think so myself It seems that our lands are underlaid with all kinds of precious minerals, such as gold, silver, copper, lead and coal. This being the case, why not come to the front by economizing, acting wisely in each movement of life, thereby bringing peace and happiness, hog and hominy A. D. c.

Since McClure's appoint ment the democratic press of the State has severely criticised the ac- tion of the attorney general; hence McClure's letter.

Death of Mrs. Mary '. Hill.

From copy of the Arkansas Metho- dist we glean the information that Mrs. Mary l.. Hill, wife of Rev. M. B. Hill, departed thls life at Shanghai, China,
 December 24, 1892, g victim of small pox.
 Mrs. Hill will be remembered by many of our citizens who resided here
 twenty years ago as Miss Mary Walker,
 who moved about that time to Hot Springs with her invalid mother There
 she lived many years and finally met and
 married Rev. M. B. Hill, of the Metho- dist Episcopal church south, brother of Rev. Geo. ". Hill, now presiding eld- CT of the Fort Smith district. In 1888
 Mir. and Mrs. Hill entered the Mission ary field in China, being accompanied thither by Mrs. Hills invalid mother, who we believe, returned after her daughters death and died in California. Miss Laura A. Haygood, also Mis- sionary, writing from China, under date of January 20, 1883, pays this glowing tribute to the memory of Mrs. Hill:
 During the first two years in China the care of her invalid mother, and later the care of her little one, claimed much of her time and strength. Yet, notwith- standing these hindrances to systematic study which woman of less courage and less earnestness would have thought quite sufficient to excuse her from the effort, by patience and persistence that would have been called heroic in some fields of action, she was gaming good working knowledge of this difficult Chinese language. She had already found many opportunities here and there of telling the story of her Saviour's love and had made many of the Chinese christian women with whom she had been associated feel the touch of her sister-hood. She had helped in the or ganization of the Woman's Missionary Society in the native church in Shang- hai, had always attended it's meetings when it was possible for her to do so, had often gone out with the Bible Wo- man emploped by the Society, visiting at hcathen homes, telling women of God their Father and Jesus their Saviour, un- til the Society had come to know that she was indeed their friend and sister and co-worker. Beautiful and tender were the words of love and appreciation, that were spoken of her by the president of the Society, when they knew that she would meet with them1sno more on earth. x*xx* We laid her to rest on Christmas Eve, and the words upon her coffin plate were echoed in each of our hearts as we stood by her grave: Bless ed are the dead that die in the Lord"

COMMISSIONER vINcENHELLRR
Makes an Urgent Appeal to the Farm. CTS and Fruit Growers
 nf Arkansas
of Arkansas.

The following urgent appeal to the farmers and fruit growers of Arkansas for specimens of products of the farm and orchard for the state exhibit at the worlds fair has been issued
 The doers of the great Columbian exposition will be opened May l, at Chicago. All the nations of the earth will be represented there with the products of the fields, forests, mines, etc. Many of our sister states have made liberal appropria tions to bring their products promi- nently before the vast assembly of visitors from all quarters of the |-globe who will be gathered there. Arkansas has more natural re sources than any other state of the union, and her appropriation being very limited, it will depend upon the individual efforts of public-s spirited citizens of our State to make her exhibit success.
 Farmers, horticulturists truck gardeners, will you not cooperate with me in showing up these re- sources? Will you not take little extra pains and trouble in produc- ing the very best specimens of grains fruits, vegetables and all other pro- ducts of our generous soil?
 The chiefs of the agricultural and horticultural departments have made such liberal rules that we can enter our products at any time
 We ask you, therefore, to select your best specimens of grain and grasses, fruits and vegetables for the fair, and by little effort on the part of each patriotic farmer and fruit grower. we can astonish the world.
 Thin out the fruit on one tree of each variety and get specimens that will maintain the reputation of Ar kansas as the apple orchard of America. By thinning your fruit so that there will not be an apple or peach closer than eight inches on the limb or twig you will get fine speci mems. Pull your oats, wheat, millet, clover, timothy and all grains up by the roots before thorougly ripe, have the heads all even and tie up to stick in the middle and the length of the entire bunch, which should not be larger than six inches in di- ameter, then wrap the whole length in paper three or four times to pre- vent fading and hang up by the roots with~the heads down where the mice cannot get at it. Notify me of what you have and I will send you shipping directions.
 I will pay all freight and trans portation charges; you will have the credit as the producer, and your To- cality, as we'll as yourself, will bene- fit by the advertisement.
 Full directions for spraying your fruit will be sent you on application to this bureau.
 Gather all fruit for this exhibit before fully ripe, but when well-col- ored. Send only perfect fruit, spec linens free from specks or blemishes, and be sure to have the stems to each specimen.
