workmen, while excavating for pipe
connections at Market square, in Ches-
ter, Pa, on Thursday morning unearth-
ed a small preserving jar, containing
gold and silver Spanish coin, estimated
to be worth at least $50. Some Of the
coin bore the date Of 1900, and other
pieces later date. An old market
house, erected in the last century, stood
on the site where the money was found,
and it was torn down in 1867. 1t is
thought the money was buried by one Of

1t would seem from the Brattleboro
papers that lawyer Martin and Sena-
Tor Hill OF New York agree as to the
enforcement of excise laws. These
papers report Mr.. Martin as saving
that the prohibitory law should be en-,
forced with brains," and the New
York Senator is in favor of the en-
forcement of the city excise law with
moderation or something to that eff
feet Their ideas are practically the
same. Brains begets moderation.
Brains are highly necessary for the
accomplishment of most purposes in
this life. And there is no question

Will continne to believe that the re-
spectacle offender is just as guilty as
the disreputable law breaker. All
Will be ready to admit that in the
liquor traffic much more injury may
done through the "ho!e-in- the-wall''
than by a we'll conducted hotel, but
before the law there is no difference
between the guilt of the two. If the
Vermont prohibitory law is to be en-.
forced by clearing out "these holes
In the wall" and letting the more pro.
tentious 60 on unmolested then the
whole thing becomes farce and the
sooner the law is repealed the better
for the Vermont conscience. And to
this we are certain Hon. j. L. Mar.

Another triumph has been won by m
 American railroad. When the great run was recently made on the New York Central. establishing the worlds recofd of 6444 miles an hour; 1t was not expected that it would soon be beaten. But new record was made last Thursday by train run from Chicago to Buffalo over the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, 51O. | miles, in 481 minutes 7 seconds. The average speed was 636 miles an hour; if the time lost by stops is deducted, the average speed was within small fraction of 65 miles an hour-64.98, to be exact. The last 96 miles of the trip were covered at an average speed of almost n miles an hour. It will not be surprising if some fast trains are soon regularly sehed- uled to run at the rate of a mile minute.

ing she had reconsidered and refused to go to court, though there was a great black bruise on her face and marks like fingers on her throat. So Fair went on with his spree. On Tuesday night he came home. An acquaintance saw him outside and tried to get him away; but the drunken man, obstinate with the ob- stlnacy of drunk kenness, insisted on going up stairs.
 II want my dinner" he said, land if I. don't find 1t ready, God help her!"
 It was then late in the evening. About midnight young man named Tom Gould heard series of crashing sounds that seemed to come from somewhere in the vicinity of the saloon at Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue, where he was at the time. A moment later there was cry of Murder 7" Then the patrol wagon rattled up the street, and Gould, thinking that it was only 8 street fight which had ended with the arrival of the wagon, paid no further heed. It was probably then that Robert Fair killed his wife. If this is so, however, he did not kill himself immediately after, for at o'clock man named Collins saw him standing in the street in front of the house, looking white and dazed. It may be that, after killing his wife, he wandered out into the street that the cool air sobered him into sense of his deed, and that he then went back and killed himself
 Mrs. Julian Darmstadt, the housekeep- CT, noticed that the gas was burning in the Fairs flat at il o'clock yesterday morning. Not understanding this she went to the door and found that two panes of glass in the door had been broken She looked in. Almost within reach of her lay the bodies of husband and wife. A revolver lay near them. She gave the alarm, and Policeman Clarker of the East Thirty fifth street station burst in the door. The story of the tragedy lay before him. the two bodies, she with her left arm raised in defence, he with out stretched hand open toward the pistol that lay beyond it; two empty whiskey bottles on the floor, and through the door leading to the front room, scene of wreckage and ruin. That was where she had fought for her life, struggling against him until she broke loose and ran to the door. As she stretched out her hand to turn the knob she must have seen the pistol and raised her arm to shield her life. The bullet went into her brain through the temple, killing her instantly. If he went out after killing her, as is SUD- posed, he must have locked the door on his return. Then standing near her he put the revolver to his heart and fell across her body.
