Intcr-Urban Electric Road.

The construction of electric railroads in
Vermont has made marked progress during
the past two years but our record is
insignificant as compared with that of
some other states, both as regards roads
constructed and new lines projected The
Street Railway Review shows that within
a year 100 companies have been formed
for the purpose of building an aggregate
of 3i57 miles of road, and some of these
roads are already in process of CONSTITUTE
ton while others will be built during the
year.
While Vermont is to be credited with
three new electric roads during the pres
ent season Ohio has 81 new projects of
this character Pennsylvania 20 New York
%, Indiana 49, Massachusetts II. Cali
fornia 6, New Jersey 3 and various other
States including Rhode Island one each.
The attempt to parallel the Consolidate ted
road has led to the starting of a number
of new electric lines in Connecticut, but
outside of the Nutmeg and Bay States.
Vermont makes a favorable comparison
with other New England States in the
matter of new electric road projects; for
wehave a number in process of incubation
in addition to those completed this year.
or in process of constructions
In previous years the great majority
of electric railways were built through
the streets of cities. but striking feature
of present electric road construction is
that in "A majority of cases the lines are
intended to connect cities and towns
One line Of 100 miles is to be constructed
between Belefoniaine and Lima. Ohio.
The next longest lines will be 50 miles in
length connecting New York and Phila-
delphia, and La Crosse, Wis, with Neills-
vile in The same State; while a number
of lines between 80 and 60 miles long will
connect cities and towns in other States
All of the electric roads constructed thus
far in Vermont run from one town to
another as well as through the streets
of the principal towns on the lines, and
it is safe to say that as the advantages
of the system become better known and
electrical appliances more economical, the
use of electric railways to connect neigh
boring towns and cities will be extended
to marked degree.

A Womnn's Life at stake.

The people of New York are again
called upon to consider the question of
capital punishment in connection with the
case of Maria Barberi, the Italian woman
who murdered her decciver in a ut Of
passion over the discovery that he was to
cast her off; and those people who are in
favor of abolshing the death penalty are
making the case an excuse for the re-
vival of their crusade. 1nasmuch as the
condemned in this instance is a woman,
they hope to secure her pardon and thus
break another link in the chain of public
sentiment which binds capital punishment
upon the commonwealth.
But the list of those who advocate the
exercise of executive clcmency by Gov.
Morton in the case of Maria Barberi is
not confined to those who would have the
death penalty abolished. on the contrary
leading men and women have lent their
voices and pens to the effort to secure IA
pardon, and some of the leading news
papers of New York are securing for pub
LEGATION columns of appeals from those
who say "it would be wrong to kill Maria
Barberi."
Even Mary Livermore, the noted au-
thoress and platform speaker, has written
a letter stating in effect that she would
do as this ignorant woman did under
similar circumstances, and that she would
strike down the man who would deceive
her daughter, Letters from men az prom
incnt as Austin Corbin and Robert Ingcr-
soil are pouring in upon Gov. Morton
asking for a pardon, and every possible
means in this direction has been resorted
to.
1t might be argued from all this as has
been argued in relation to a recent famous
case in Vermont where "a pardon was
sought, that the people of New York were
not In favor of enforcing the law against
murder, but Il close inspection of the facts
in the case shows that this does not neces-
sar!ly follow. The offender is not only Il
woman but the crime of which she stands
convicted and for which she is condemned
to death in the electric chair was COM
mitted under peculiar circumstances as
already indicated 1t is shown, moreover.
that the condemned woman is barely in
.elligent enough to comprehend the nature
of her offence in Staying the villain whose
wles wrought her ruin.
The situation is a complicated one i'm
spite of the fact that a court and Jury
having seemingly done their duty in pass
ing upon the case, and it will require no
small degree Of backbone for Gov. Morton
TO refuse a pardon i'm the face of the flood
of appeals asking for Communication in the
case of Maria Berberi.

Canada's Hay Famine.

Advices from Ontario, Canada, state
that meetings of farmers are being
held at various points, and petitions pre-
pared for transmission to Ottawa, asking
the Dominion government to help far
mers to bring hay from the Northwest
to feed their cattle. In a great part of the
Northern district there is no hay at all.
and as freight rates on the hay are high.
without government aid it will be impos-
sible for many farmers to keep cows
through the winter. In some parts of the
province the farmers are taking their cat
tie into the woods and shooting them.
Yet in other portions of Canada there
seems to be abundance of hay, and more
hay has been imported into the United
States, through the district of Vermont,
than ever before.

hotels have been failing in different parts
of the country, it must be admitted that
the capitalists behind Bostons gigantic
scheme have courage as well as coin.
A raging controversy Is now in progress
in Central New York over the electrocu-
ton of the negro Taylor. A physician of
Syracuse makes the startling charge that
Taylor was really killed by the aid of
drugs and that the condemned man was
resuscitated just to see If it could be done.
The warden cmphatically denies all this,
admitting only that the execution of Tay-
lor was a horrible affair, chloroform hav-
ing to be administered after the first shock
in order TO quiet the struggles of the con-
demned upon returning consciousness.
This being the case, it Is an open question
whether or not electrocution does really

"TWO-Secd Baptists."

The new volume of the last consus
devoted to statistics of the churches in
the United States shows that this country,
contains many religious bodies, the names
and very existence of which are probably
unknown to the great majority of our
readers Some of them bear curious titles.
Here, for instance, is a sect, having 473
organizations 1897 church edifices, and 12 SOL
communicates, scattered over "a States of
the Union, which calls itself The Old
IWo-Seed-in-t he-Spirit Professionalism
Baptists' Their founder was one Elder
Daniel Parker born in Virginia, ordained in
Tennessee, and who labored in Tennessee.
Illinois and Texas. Its creed involves
belief in two seeds-one of evil and one
of good; in good angels who are eman-
atoms from or particles of God, and in
evil angels who are particles of the
devil; and in the dogma that God predes-
tined all His children to eternal life, and
the devil and his spiritual children to the
eternal kingdom of darkness Its mem
bers observe the washing of feet and are
opposed to a paid ministry. There are
three of these Two-Seed churches in
Maine, but none in Vermont or in any
other New England State.
