LEWIS WARNER.
The Jury Brings in Verdict of Guilty of
Enforcement.

Northampton, Dec 29.-Lewis Warner
was found guilty of embezzlement this
evening, the jury coming in at 6.35 o'clock.
In his charge to the jury this afternoon,
Justice Fessenden instructed them TO
bring in verdict of not guilty on the
first second fifth sixth and eighth
counts of the Indictment owing to legal
technicalities. Warner was brought into
court to hear the verdict, and was in the
same apathetic condition which he has
been in throughout the trial. The court
room was crowded when the verdict was
given. Warmers attorney took many eX-
ceptions throughout the trial, and a new
trial will doubtless be asked for.
The confession of Warner was put in
during the morning, and was the most
important thing done in court. 1t is
thought to have been written by Warner
on the night of the 26th or 9th of April.
He made his flight from here April 2S.
The confession is written in pencil on a
single sheet of paper In a measure, the
sentences are incoherent. In substance it
makes a iumbled confession. He said
that when the paper was found my trou-
bles will be over" He stated he had
taken a very large sum Of money, more
than 100000. There is a bad muddle; it
will be difficult to tell where the loss will
fall. May God have mercy on my soul.

President-to-be Henry Brannon of the
board of aldermen will introduce early in
the term an order providing for petition
ing the legislature for an amendment to

assessors to four His object is to enable
the board to keep a man in the office con-
stantly to accommodate those who trans
act business there. With three men on
the board viewing property in the spring

AMERICAN EXPRESS co.
1t Gives Reasons For Exacting from Ship
pers Payment For War Tax Stamps.

Boston, Dec. 29.--Answers have been
filed by the American Express Com
pany in the suits brought against it
in the superior court by members of
the Boston Fruit and Produce EX-
change, giving the company's reasons
for exacting from shippers the pay
ment for the war tax stamps in ad-
dition to it's regular charges. The ex-
press company claims that if stamps
are affixed by them It would mean a
reduction of nearly one-nalf of net
revenue of the company. On the other
hand, owing to existing contracts with
other express companies, transporta-
ton companies and others. they are
prevented from raising the rates as
they would be entitled TO dc under
their articles of Incorporation.

THEIR PLANS.
Democratic CounciImen-EIect viii Hold
Caucus.


Democratic members of the common
council will hold a caucus to decide on
their plan of action for the meeting of the
city council Monday evening. The date
has not been fixed, but the caucus will
probably be Saturday evening. Although
nothing definite has been said on the sub
ject, it appears as if the democratic mem
bers of the common council will follow
the lead of their republican associates,
and not invite the democratic aldermen
to the caucus.
What they contemplate they will not
discuss. Several members said yesterday
that they will not oppose the republican
nominee for president of the common
council. The democratic aldermen have
not held caucus, if a gathering of three
could be dignified by that name, but they
will support Alderman Brannon, the re-
publican nominee for the place. The rea-
son for such action on the part of the
democrats in each branch is to return the
compliment which republicans extend
them in leaving vacant for their nominal
ton places on the committee on finance
and City Hospital trustees.

cow PEA CULTURE.
How the Seed Should BE SOvn and the
Uses to Which the Crop May Be Put.

lowing to the fact" says Prof. w. c.
Latta, Of the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton Of Purdue University, that clover is
frequently damaged by freezing in winter
and by drought in summer, there is some In
quiry for another leguminous crop which is
not open to these objections. With our
present knowledge, no subst itute for In
diana can be offered that is equal to the
common red or large English clovers, both
Of which are thoroughly acclimated and
flourish throughout the State.
Notwithstanding this fact, the cow pea
has some points of advantage, among which
are, % greater capacity to endure drought,
(2) ability to grow on soils too thin to nour-
ish clover, 90 ability to produce a large
amount Of forage or green manure in a
few months of warm weather, and thus
avoid the frosts Of winter and early spring.
Cow peas are highly esteemed for forage
In many parts Of the South. They are pas
tured, cut green ard fed as a soiling crop,
and also cured as hay. Where they seed
well they furnish an excellent pasture for
pigs, in which case the land is left in fine
condition for subsequent crops. In this State
only the earliest sorts would produce much
seed. In the richer soils the tendency would
be to run to vines. Cow peas produce a very
Watery rowth and are therefore not easy
to cure for hay, although they nave the adj
vantage of maturing in the dry season of
the year.
Both tops and roots are valuable to fer
tiliZe the soil. Cow peas have, like clovers,
a very beneficial, mellowing effect on soils
in which they grow, and when turned under
they quickly replenish the store 'of humus
and available nitrogen. 1t will doubtless be
best to turn the crop under before the au-
tumn froStS. If corn is to be grown the
following spring, it will be we'll to sow rye
soon after turning under the pea vines, to
prevent, alike, washing of soil and dissipa-
ton of the nitrogen stored in the vines. Two
different years this station has plowed I'M
der good crops of COW peas that would not
mature seed.
Cow peas may be sown broadcast or in
drills. The rate varies greatly. One bushel,
if drilled, would doubtless be ample. The
planting should not be done till the ground
becomes warm and all danger from frost is
past.
THE different varieties vary greatly in
size, character Of growth and earliness.
Some varieties produce a short. stocky,
bushlike growth, and these are preferred
for hay. They are also earlier than the
trailing varieties, and, therefore, better
suited to this State, if seed is desired. Mr..
Jared G. Smith. in the Year Book of the
Department Of Agriculture for 1896. says:
'Whip-poor-will, Black-eyed, White and
Red Crowder ripen in twelve to fourteen
weeks, and hence are adapted to cultivation
farther north than the very late but ranker
growing Unknown Wonderful, Red Ripper,
Black and Gourd varieties The ordinary
force-feed wheat drill may be used in SOW
ing the seed"
