Seymour, made last Friday, and he again declared he saw the rag around Sadie s neck by the reflected light from across the street. Lochner illustrated to the jury the manner in which the cloth was knotted and how he united it.
 Lochner again declared that Lizzie Riley said something about choking as he and Prieur entered the room. He gave that as his reason for going so quickly to the bed. After he saw Sadie was dead he kissed her three times, "once for my self and once for each of her children" When Prieur went out for the officer he rushed to his room and partially dressed himself. Then he went to the Bellevue saloon and told the bartender Sadie had been found dead In her room. He re- turned and found the officers in the room. The body was taken away and he was taken to the City Prison.
 At this point Coroner Hawkins de- clared a recess until this morning at g.
 It has been impossible for the police to ascertain definitely the condition of the bed when Lochner entered the room. He says he did not disturb the covering. He and felt her heart. When Special Gilfoy arrived he found the body covered up to the neck. He disturbed the covering When the Deputy Coroner arrived he found the body partially uncovered. Lochner has told conflicting stories on this point. Coroner Hawkins hopes to unravel this tangle to-day. Lochner is to be rigidly cross-examined at to-days session.
 Mrs. Anderson still believes in Loch- ner's innocence. When the recess was declared Lochner jumped up and hur- ried over to where she was sitting She greeted him warmly and they talked to- gether for several minutes Later, with a mutual friend, she called on Lochner at the prison and remained in conversa- tion with him for more than half an hour
 Unless something startling is developed to-day Lochner will undoubtedly be re leased by the police.

METHODIST MEETING.
Sabbath Collection and the Anti
 Saloon League Discussed.

Rev. E. E. Dodge spoke before the Methodist Ministers yesterday morning on
 sabbath Collections" He said: The placing of the general Sabbath collection before the sermon has been imposed upon us by the General Conference. In more than three-fourths of the Methodist churches outside our large cities the en- tire average income, only excepting spas modic effort at the close of the year, is taken on the Sabbath in loose plates, in envelopes, or in both combined. l think the average is increased by one-fourth or one-third if 1t Is taken directly at the close of the sermon and a short prayer. If before the sermon, over many the spirit of worship has not yet gained control. while IT the sermon has been spiritual and has lifted them to little higher plane of de- yotion and sacrifice, as all true preaching does, even not directly on the subject, they will be far more ready to give uber- ally than at the beginning. l have never tested it that did not find the result as here stated

" Summer Homes"

The above is the title of handsome
pamphlet published by the Central Yer
mont railroad to advertise the advantages
of the Green Mountain state as a summer
resort. On account of the Hispano-Amer-
lean war the hotels and boarding-houses
on the Atlantic seacoast, it is believed,
will be practically abandoned, and in addi-
ton, more than Is per cent of the Europe
an steamship bookings have been cancelled
which indicates that the summer idler this
year will fight as shy Of water-salt water
at any rate-as cat. Though Vernon
has the honor of furnishing the first nava
hero of the war, the only brine in the stat
is to be found in the pork barrels, and TO
that reason larger influx than usual Q
summer visitors is expected. "Summe
Homes sets forth attractively the manifold
beauties of the commonwealth and give
valuable information for those seeking vaca
ton haunts far from the sound of shot an

VIII Judge Read Break the Spell.

The prospect Of change in the repre-
sentation from this district may not be too
bright, but as the Brattleboro Reformer
says, "things are beginning to 'liven up
for the congressional canvass, and indica-
tons are not lacking that Judge Read will
give Gen. Grout lively race for renomi-
nation" Late developments show that a
little underpinning of CIRCUITS support has
weakened lately, while Judge Reads boom
has not lost strength in these warlike times
and he promises to come to the front with
a delegation that will have to be reckoned
with at the convention. There is talk of a
change-tbere has been talk of changes in
every campaign-and if Judge Read sue
ceeds in breaking the spell this campaign
year Of 1898 will be made notable for other
things besides war, battles and bloodshed.
We would like to see Judge Read make
history, and he is credited with the ability
to do it.-Woodstock Age.
