NOVEL ROAD MeNplNG.
Each Farmer Does His share, and the Roads
Are In Good Condition.

Are In Good Condition.
A farmer Of Hamilton, Mimi, says
of the roads in his neighborhood:
About - years ago we began the
improvement Of the roads III this town
ship The farmers turned out in the fall,
and we all worked nearly two weeks in
grading them up and bridging the little
brooks and rivulets We pledged one
another 70 keep them in repair voluntari-
ly. Next spring we made cheap scrapers
by inserting pole TO slab, setting the
slab at an angle. From that date to this
the farmers along our roads have kept
them up by dragging these scrapers over
them.
When Neighbor Jones, living at the
east end Of the road, has occasion 20 go
over It, he bitches a scraper behind his
wagon and drags it the distance he goes
in such way that il throws the dirt
from, say, the south side of the road to
the center, filling up ruts and bumps.
Neighbor Smith, going IN an opposite di,
rectlOn, comes along with his wagon,
picks up the scraper where Jones cast it
Of and drags it along the north side Of
the road, throwing the dirt 10 the CEN
ter The straw, hay and other substances
mix with the dirt, and are pressed down
IN the center, and the sun converts the
mass into adobe. We have a good roads
as any in the country, and they are kept
up IN this way. NOtaX, no working the
road, only voluntary labor Every

Ten thousand Persons at the Opening
Meeting.

Ten Thousand Persons at the Opening
IA, Meeting.
Baltimore, July 1S.-The delegates and
visitors to the fifth international con-
vention Of the Baptist Young Peoples
union Of America continued to arrive
throughout thu night and early morning
hours, until, at 10 o'clock, there were
10000 congregated in the mammoth tent
located at the Madison avenue entrance
to Druid Hill park.
The interior of the big tent presented
d gay appearance, with myriads of
American flags, Baptist union flags and
English flags hanging from every post
and pole in the place. Across the entire
length of the choir gallery is broad
piece Of each Of the four colors that
were selected toTepresent the four sec
lions into which the international work
OF the union is divided-green for the
south, red for Canada, blue for the
states west of the Mississippi and gold
for those east of the Mississippi. From
the top Of the large pole Just in front of
the main stand scores of ribbons of
these colors were festooned down to the
speakers rostrnm.
An enormous chart containing list
of EOS schools md colleges in this coun-
try that are controlled by the Baptist
church occupies a conspicuous position
over the choir stand, while just in front
of it is suspended another large chart
showing the home and reading courses
that are carried on by the anton. ny
The platform, from which the speak,
ers addressed the audience, has a ca-
pacity for 200 persons. These seats We're
occupied by ministers. Back of this
platform six tiers of seats gave accom-
mediation to a chorus of 500 voices and
an orchestra OF fifty pieces, The chairs
in the main auditorium are arranged in
theater fashion, giving those seated in
the rear a chance to see and hear what
is going on.
Devotional exercises were led by the
Rev. G. A. Hobbs, p. D., Of Delavan,
Wis His reference to the warm hearts
and warmer sun Of the southern city
called forth the first applause.
AS DR.. Hobbs declared the convention
open for business d late delegation from
Wisconsin, marched into the tent and

IN view Of the evidence, have been con-
sldered, by that verdict Jaw and JUS
tiee have been INDICATED, and beyond
that nothing can be expected at the
bar Of justice.
Nothing now remains but for me
to pass sentence upon YOU, Maria
Barberi you have been found guilty
OF murder In the first degree in killing
one Dominica Cataldo."
The recorder picked up the death war
rant and read:
1T is ordered that within ten days
from the present date the sheriff OF
New York or his agents transmit you
into the custody of the warden of the
state prison at Sing Sing, and that
from that time you be kept in solitary
confinement, allowed to see no one but
the keepers of the prison, your family
or priest or minister Of the gospel
and your lawyers until the week begin
ming on August 10, 1886, when the war;
den of the state prison is commanded
to inflict upon you the death penalty
by electricity"
These lengthy and formal sentences
were translated a few words at time
to the prisoner. The girl had stopped
weeping and her eyes were closed. she
seemed to hear nothing and to be on
the verge Of total collapse.
Al the completion of the sentence she
sank into chair. Everybody thought
that here her ordeal for the time was
over and that she would be led away.
Instead, however, Sheriff Tamsen
was commanded to stand forth. He
stepped in front Of the clerks desk and
| then Clerk Carroll read the death war
rant slowly,
The proceedings were thus heightened
another five minutes,
Then the girl was led away AS she
reached the door her mother, middle
aged italian woman, rushed out of the
crowd toward her. Her brother and
father followed.
The deputies pushed them back, and
the girl was at last led out of the
room. Then her family were allowed
to see her. 8
Lawyer House asked the recorder to
allow the girl to remain in the Tombs
longer than ten days, until the motions,
for new trial were formulated. The
recorder denied the request.
Maria Barberi was taken to Sing
Sing.

colonial and revolutionary relics from
the thirteen original states.

secere fitting exhibit of souvenirs i'm

state.
The women of Georgia join with the
members Of the Connecticut commits
sion in an earnest appeal for the loan
Of such articles.
AS the space allowed for the exhibit
IS not extensive, quality rather than
quantity must be considered in their
selection. One hundred choice articles
whose history would at once be recog-
niZed by citizens of every state in the
Union, will be OF far greater service to
Connecticut than one thousand articles,
interesting in themselves, but which
concern our local boundaries only.
Fire arms, swords, manuscripts, books,
jewelry, medals, Paul Revere silver,
miniatures, uniforms, gowns, laces and
fans, each and all with history" are
greatly desired. The time for making
the collection is very limited as all ar
ticles must be shipped by the 10th Of
August.
Kindly inform the commission with
in the coming week df possible) Of the
number and character Of relics that
your committee will secure for the In
ternational Exposition.
Attention is also called to the appeal
for examples of women's work in litera-
ture, the fine arts, inventions, &c.
