PIERCE ATTAE COURTHOU USE
He Arrives and is Taken to the
COul House Building.
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, July 13,
10 O'Clock, q. m.- Especial to the Pro-
NEER l--Train No. from Camden ar
rived at this quaint, quiet village,
promptly on time, 9.13 o'clock. Ever
since early morning the town has
taken on an appearance of holiday.
There is no business beirg down tx
cepting in the hotel, and everybody is
in town. Farmers about the commun-
tty came In carriages, their horses
being hitched upon all the streets.
Down by the little station, which is
nearly mile from the county build
ings there was crowd gathered for
hours, awaiting the arrival of the
train bearing the condemned mur-
derer. 1t is the first hanging Cape
May County has ever had, and the
people are greatly interested.
When Pierce was removed from the
train he was visibly ffected, although
he had not broken down. He had
passed through very trying ordeal.
and 1t was but natural that he should
show some signs of breaking down,
Yet he maintained himself exceeding
ly we'll.
He had been before the public gezs
since seven O'Clock, and pointed to as
the fiend who murdered his wife, and
there is little wonder that he began to
realize his position. Then as he neared
Cape May Court House station every
thing began to take on familiar as
pect, and his geze from the car window
rested upon the scenes of his boyhood
and manhood, and while his health
was such that he might be expected
to live for years, yet within a couple
of hours he knew he must die, and
that horrible death. About two
miles from the station the train passed
directly behind the home of his par
ents, the place where he had lived
since child, and the place where he
was arrested.
Little wonder Is 1t then that tears
started to his eyes as he gazed upon
the panorama before him.
When Pierce arrived here, there
were with him Sheriff Hand, Sheriff
Shinn, Rev. J. 8. Thompson and
County Physician Thompson. The
party Immediately got In a coach, and
followed by a crowd, were driven to
the Court House building, and there
they entered. and the crowd of pee
pie were shut ont from view
Several members of the murderer's
family were in the Court House and
In one of the Grand Jury rooms the
last religious services were held, Pierce
joining In them heartily. About this
time those who witness the execution
are entering the Court House, and will
come out no more until after Pierc ce
has paid the penalty of the crime with
his life.
Ysste! day Sheriff Hand notified the
family that they might claim the be dy
for burial, but they declare that when
they bid him good bye in the jury
room, they will never look upon his
face, living or dead. The county will
be obliged to dispose of the body.

THE STAR.

Rumors have been placed i'll cir
culation regarding the continuance
of the STAR. 1t is perhaps needless
to state that the first intimation of
the STARS disconiinuance came to
this Office through the medium of a
rival paper, which, presumably,
would like to see the STAR discon-
tinued for both political and bust
ness reasons.
1t is stated upon the best author
ity that the STAR stockholders
have not contemplated closing
down the paper, while upon the
other hand, a committee has been
appointed TO report upon a future
plan for carrying to contamination
the work of annexation. AT the
meeting last night the expression
was unanimous that the STAR
should be continued indefinitely.
There is full confidence among
stockholders that the personne,
of the appointed committee will
insure both the cause of the
Republic and the friends of annex.

passes under the banner that is yet

who Makes the Best Butter?

The market reports Of the dairy goods
don Grocer during the past year show
satisfactory condition of the business
in both butter and cheese In regard to
butter, it is said that the demand during
the year was greater than in any pre-
vious year, and the supply from Aus.
tralia and New Zealand was the Only
thing that prevented an advance of at
least 90 shillings $50 per l12 pounds in
the market prices The opening rates
We're as follows:
Irish butter, S2j to $50: Dutch butter, S27 It.
$50; French butter, SO to S33; Danish butter,
81 to S32; Australian butter, SCI to S'2 Fin
and butter, SIS TO S21; Russian butter, SIS to
S25; American butter, SIS to S2s.
These figures, taken into comparison
with the claims for superiority made by
the French and Danish dairymen, 90 t.
show that the irish butter makers, who
are unskilled women, except so far as
the practical knowledge of the art of
butter making is possessed by them,
stand well up with the SO supposed to
be scientific expert makers of France
and Denmark, vino are held up to the
world as a pattern for all to initiate,
while the American butter makers, III
which category the Canadians are in
cluded, are placed practically as low as
the half civilized Russians and Firms,
who are rarely spoken of as butter max
ers. This ought to be taken to heart as
a lesson of great value and one to be
well studied and thought out
The same may be said to a great ex-
tent of the cheese trade. At the begin
ming of the year prices were quoted as
follows:

be in July and August, just when you
