The jury returned verdict in the
Miles murder ease at Newport. Fri

manslaughter and James Bowe not
guilty. Bowe was discharged and
Judge Tyler sentenced Cram TO hard
labor in states prison during his life.
Che trial occupied 2 days and strong
and exhaustive arguments were made
BY counsel. Judge Tyler gave a clear
impartial charge and the jury was out
Is 10 hours. Under the indictment
for murder, the Judge ruled that the
verdice must be guilty or not guilty,
aud the evidence was not sufficient to
convict Bowe. Cram received his SEN
tence without much visible emotion,
expressing through counsel his belief
that sentence even for the shortest
legal term. seven years, would doubt

the even tenor of its way. But when
Tuesday of the first week of October
arrives a scene of activity dawns. The
denizen of the place who has antici-
pated this season for whole year
looks on with interest as long lines of
wagons trundle through the streets,
bearing bulky articles boxed up mys-
teriously. followed by scattering lines
of horses, cattle oi.sheep. all heading
toward the green level plot just west
Of the main street. Then the huckster
arrives and sets up tent, much 10 the
delight Of the small boy, who counts
his carefully boarded pennies and
smacks his lips in anticipation IA
movement which the aforesaid huck-
ster notes with appreciation. The
rotters next arrive, sleek and glossy,
each attended by group OF admirers
ready to stake their cash on their
favorite i'm the race. Wagons innu-
merable roll up and discharge their
cargoes at Floral hall, where ready
hands take the articles and arrange
them in the most attractive way for
display. Long lines OF stalls are soon
occupied by cattle and sheep, that
must regard this annual eccentricity
of their owners very much as the
world has regarded the famous general
who marched his twenty thousand
men up the Hill and down again. At
last, everything is in place. Only one
thing now remains to insure the fairs
success-eood weather.

from neighboring towns and have
their courage repaid by the passing of

as fair weather is assured, other hum

But the threatening morn has served
to keep many at home. There is no
