 The scenes about the court house were a repetition of those of former days. Throngs of persons surged around the entrance, trying to get into the building by eluding the vigilance of the deputy sheriffs. The court room was packed to suffocation.
 Benham sat in court with his mother and sisters, who wept copiously, but he showed no emotion. In his summing up MT. Leseur told the story of Ben hams early education, of his purchase of prussic acid, of the opportunity to administer it, of the two attacks which Mrs. Benham had, of the post morten evidences, and of the chemical analysis

Then he put horses blanket belt through an iron ring, strapped the belt around the COW, inserted the end of the mast In the ring, and bound the mast to the | side of the COW with some 50 feet of rope.

Capt Patterson seized her tail, and using it as a rudder guided her skilfully in the right direction. With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate COW would be hurried along faster, while the dust blew up in clouds and the sails Tapped and tugged, as Capt.

HE SAILED THE COW TO THE
 FAIR.
A Cape Cod Captains Way With an Obstinate Animal.

Obstinate Animal.
 When I was down on Cape Cod last summer I heard an amusing story ahol1t an old sea Captain and his COW. Capt Patterson, after sailing the Sea for more than 40 years, finally retired to a little farm near Barnstable, where he settled down, with @ horse, COW and two or three dozen hens. His COW, though a. lank and rather stubborn crea ture was said to come from very eood stock. and when the Barnstable DeonIe took it into their heads to have 2 fair Capt Patterson determined to exhibit his cow
 Rut when the day came for driving her to the grounds the COW showed that she had a mind of her own, and would not nudge a step beyond the farmyard gata In vain the old captain tugged o+ +he rope, pummeled her sides and nnsbed her Hanks. The COW wanted to go to pasture, and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair.
 Cant Patterson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea oc- a,,rred to him. Though he was not stronq enough himself to force the COW so oo to the fair, his training sue- eested something that was. Tying the

The heavy rain which fell all day yesterday and last night interfered greatly with both workers and pleas ure seekers Picnics and excursions were postponed for the most part un- til more favorable weather.

 Winsted, July 2S.-The recent heavy rains have proven disastrous to crops in this section of the state and the far mers anticipate very heavy loss. The potato crop is suffering the most. es- pecially in the lowlands where they are rotting madly, but vegetation of all kinds is in a bad way.

 Tragedy.
 Bridgeport, July 2S.-A statement was secured from Weeks who is held in the Nichols murder case by the detectives to-day relative to the suspect Bonai for whom the officers are now search ing. His statement shows Bonai to be a pretty tough character. Statements made by the prisoners mother and by Mrs Bonai, his sister. and wife of the missing Charles Bonai, conflict with that made by Weeks, relative to the whereabouts of Weeks last week. Resi- dents of Huntington believe that in ar resting Weeks the officers are on the right track. Speculation has also been aroused about the marriage of Miss Maggie Weeks to Bonai six weeks ago, and an unknown clergyman who per- formed the ceremony. Several charac- teristics of Weeks, 1t Is believed, may serve to identify him with the crime.

TWO DOLLAR CERTIFICATES
 RAISED.

New York, July 2s.-several of the new two-dollar silver certificates raised so as to make them appear to be five dollar certificates have been received at the New York sub- treasury recently. The change in the bill is very cleverly done with pen and ink. The group of female figures on the front of the five dollar bill is somewhat similar to the one on the front of the two dollar bill. The two-dollar bill has on it's back vignettes of Morse and Fulton, while the five-dolar bill has on it's back wig nettes of Grant and Sheridan. The only change in the bills was to alter the figures on them from 2 to 5.
