Growing Groton.

Never has the business outlook for
GrOtOn held such encouraging pros
poets as today. During the past year
the place has steadily grown in size,
and the amount of business has more
than kept pace with this growth. The
granite industry has increased in the
amount of business done, and the new
machines added and preparations for
still further developing the business is
a sure indication that Groton granite
is of good quality, and the business is
one of permanent building. The work
of the Pine Mountain Association in
opening their quarry has given our
people confidence in the future growth
of the place. This association, in the
few weeks they have been at work,
have found an exceptional fine quality
Of granite. They are well pleased
with what has already been accom-
.plished, and when the season opens in
the spring will push the work on an
extensive scale. Webber's granite is
in good demand, and the prospect of
the coming year is such as to warrant
his large outlay for new machinery,
and the indications are it will be taxed
to it's full capacity. Now all these
things point to a bright future for
Groton. On every hand enterprise
and energy are found, and our people
should be quickened thereby to take
hold of village Improvements, and not
see it bring up the rear in this march
of progress. -Groton Times.

THE DOHERTY TRIAL.
The Testimony Given Yesterday In
Detail.

Montpelier, VT, November 25.--
The state has made good progress,
and by a systematic marshalling of
witnesses has gradually led up to very
damaging evidence which was brought
out by Mrs. j. E. PiXley late Thurs
day, and continued through the whole
of Friday by her husband, Julius Pix
ley, and DIS. John b. Wheeler and
Henry James.
The first witness Friday was M. G.
Grandy, of Burlington, who was en-
ployed as timc-kccper at the dam. He
remembered seeing Doherty and Sulli-
van talking at the dam after the
shooting, and Sullivan called to him,
saying Doherty was in a bad fix: that
Doherty said he was going to blow his
own brains out, and that Sullivan told
him not to do 50.
Con. Daley was recalled, and said he
NDNiIN llio,i w IIlo CNtIlllSO du lAlNN y
in Murphy's or his own room. but
never spent any time in Doherty's
room.
j. Il. PiXlcy described the situation
Of the buildings, especially the veran-
da and barns, these being two impor-
tant places in the case.
That he heard Doherty say to Muir
ply, "Come out here and We'll settle
this tonight" Murphy said 'all
right. Doherty came first Murphy
following. Doherty was walking fast;
Murphy Slowly. AS Dohcrty passed
me, 81 said to Doherty, what is the
matter. Doherty did not answer, and
| do not know us he heard me. Do
herty passed into the barn and as
Murphy came up to me said to him,
what is up? to which Murphy ans
Wered, "Oh, not much" | said, Fred
don't go in there, you'll get hurt.
Murphy stopped. When | spoke to
him the second time he stopped and
turned his head to the right. Doherty
came rapidly out Of the barn with
revolver in his hand aad coming up to
Murphy fired at him, being SO near
that the fash of the fire from the re-
volver spread over Mr1 Murphys
After being shot Murphy staggered
and took hold of the railing to the
veranda for support. Saw Doherty
after the shooting and asked HIM why
he had shot Fred, to which he
answered IL was so mad | couldn t
help it,
His other testimony had reference
to locating the wound, identifying
the clothing and the sickness of Muir
ply while at his house. Also testi-
fed to Dohcrty having supper late one
night before the shooting and to hear
ing the report Of a revolver short
distance from the house but saw no
one.
Or. John b. Wheeler of Burlington,
and DR.. Henry James Of Waterbury,
testified to Murphy's condition the
night of the shooting, and the latter
read his minutes of the case as made
by himself at the different times. The
direct examination of Drs. Wheeler
and James was conducted by w. a.
Lord, and the cross-cXaminatlon by |
Frank plumley.
Several ladies were present today,
and the court house was well filled to |
hear the doctors testimony.

Christmas Trees.

Parties from Pennsylvania, F.. H..
Everett and Hiram Shifler of Phila-
delphia, have had a number Of men at
work along the line Of the Montpelier
& Wells River railroad lately. cutting
and hauling fir balsams to the differ
cnt stations, the same to be shipped
to New York and Philadelphia, and
sold for Christ mas trees. In the
neighborhood of forty carloads of trees
will be shipped from this section, and
if the market is favorable will net
these men tidy sum. The trees are
from two to four inches through at
the butt, and are approximately ten
feet high. Only symmetrical trees
are used. These men pay one cent
each for the trees standing. They
are cut down, in some cases the stump
being left several feet high. The
branches are bound compactly to the
trunk with heavy tWine, and the trees
then hauled to the railroad station in
wagons having a rack body, as many
as 100 being drawn at a load.
One of the tree spectators informed
your correspondent that the trees ay-
eraged to cost him 30 cents each, load
ed on the cars. In the cities these
trees retail at from 81 to s. each,
when the demand is good. 1t would
seem to the casual observer that the
dealers are making fully as much
out of this business as are the farmers
whose thlckets of young tr-balsams
are being stripped Of their straightest
and best trees.

HIS HOME DESTROYED.
Fire Completely Wrecks the Residence of
S. II. Salisbury.

s. H. Salisbury.
People living near the Eardley place,
which is situated several miles east of
Anaconda, We're alarmed yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock by hearing cries
of Fire." Fire!" for there is no fire
apparatus there and when building is
on fire nothing can stop it from being
totally destroyed.
The cause of thu cries was a fire
which had started in house occupied
by S. B. Salisbury. 1t took but few
moments for the blaze to get good
Roadway. The neighbors We're soon out
in large crowds and worked hard to
extinguish the fire by throwing water
upon the burning building, but all to no
avail, for in half an hour the building
had been totally destroyed, together
with it's contents, which included
household goods and furniture amount
ing in value to about $500 or 500.
In one part of the building were
stored a large number Of expensive
cameras which had been given for safe
keeping to Mr.. Salisbury by e. w
Comfort several years ago. They were
destroyed and the loss will amount 10
more than $500.
The houses on the Eardley place are
far apart and owing to this no othe"
buildings were destroyed.
Mr. Salisbury is an employe Of the
Standards job department. There was
no insurance on the house or contents.
The house was owned by Mr.. Eardley

criminal battles of Central Ohio. The
trial occupied several weeks and Houck
had the benefit of the best criminal tai
ent money could secure. He seemed
to have an unlimited amount of money.
Among his many attorneys were Major
Blackburn of Cincinnati and l.. T.
Powell, one of the democratic cundi
dates for governor of Ohio, who was
defeated by governor, now senator,
Foraker His wife stood by him ana
was with him every day in the court
room. He was convicted Of nlanslaugh-
ter and in 1883 was sentenced to IL years
in the Ohio penitentiary. .
Houck remained in prison only seven
years. During the time he was allowed
the use of pack of cards ITO ncnuse
himself" This he did by practicing
hours every day at unfair dealings I'M
til he became master at the art. IL
was said of him that no man in the
world had his dexterity with cards.
Through the instrumentali+y of his
wife Houck was first paroled and final
ly pardoned. Then he started upon his
career as a card sharp. Jews were his
especial prey, he still harborirg a dead
ly hate for the young Jew train butcher
who had sworn the crime upon him
1t was always Houck's boast. in his
checkered life, that he never robbed
any but Jews and those who were able
to lose.
He had become an accomplished i'm
guist, could speak five languages and
in his travels had acquired the man
ners of a gentleman. His good address
obtained him entrance to and 1ira|ly
membership in the Fifth Avenue club
of New York, where, he proved an ex-
pensive member to his new friends. He
came West and finally landed in the
City of Mexico. where he became a
member of the swell Jockey club to his
own financial improvement.
From Mexico he went to South Africa,
became a member of the Royal Club at
Cape Town, went thence to Johannes
burg and speedily was elected q niem-
her of the fashionable Wanderers club.
His success there was phenomenal, but
attended with no scandal. III company
with several South African millionaires
he went to- London and there secured
membership in the Grosvenor club,
where he met and vanquished the
Prince Of Wales.
From London he returned to America
a year or SO ago. After leaving Spo-
kane last spring he went to Europe
and had returned from England only a
few weeks before his death.

KING IS HOME.
Champion Bantam PuGilist of the North
west Returns to Anaconda.


Andy King, the champion bantam
pugilist of the northwest, arrived home
on Monday in company with his train
er, Kid Barry. Their friends gave them
a royal reception on the evening of
their arrival.
Andy left Anaconda about a year ago
for San Francisco with the intention Of
meeting Jimmie Anthony, but in this
was disappointed, Anthony refusing to
meet him. He then went to Oregon
and met all corners in his class and
was successful in every instance.
He proposes remaining in Anaconda
for about a week, when he will go to
Butte and thence to New York, where
he expects to take on some of the best
men of his class in the East.
Among the most noted he has met
during his pugilstic career are: Jack
Richie of Chicago, a fighter of well
known repute; the contest lasted Is
rounds and was decided a draw; Bill
O'Donnell of Memphis, making a 30
round draw, and the st. Paul Kid at
Boston. The Kid got the decision over
King in this encounter, but was after
ward defeated by him in New York in
Is rounds. Besides these King has met
great many other noted fighters and
the victories he has achieved and fair
fighting place him high in the ranks of
the fistic arena.
