Grttton on the charge of adultery but bills
were not found against them 1t will be
remembered that these parties were in
dicted by the grand jury Of 1898 for rape,
that Grover was tried at the March term
1899 on this charge and acquitted, the

ing an information against him for adultery.
Blood and Grover have both been out on
bail during the summer,
The grand jury made report on the
condition OF the county Jail, giving that in

last report to Anna S. Dewey of Brattle-
boro from Addison j. Dewey, and Edgar
H.. Tuthill of Nesfane from Jennie A.

cases.
Court reassembled Monday afternoon.
The petit jurors were summoned to appear
at this time and it was expected that the
case of Walter f L. Walker, executor Of
the estate OF Levi White, against Charles
P. Smith of Rockingham would 60 on
rial, but it appeared that al" important
witness for the defendant was out of the
state and could not be reached and the
case was set at the heel OF the civil jury
list.
Tuesday morning the case of Emma
Howe, appellant, against George P. Stan
ley's estate went on trial before a jury.
The plaintiff, now the wife of D., G. Howe
OF Dover, was daughter of Stanley and
after becomir G Of age and before her mar
riage, worked for some time in her fathers
family. For this labor and for sundry ar
ticles that she bought and left in her
fathers family she brought a bill before
the commissioners on the estate of Stanley
who died in 1898, showing balance in
her favor of about $500. This bill the
commissioners disallowed and she brought
her case to this court on appeal from their
decision. The administrator of the estate
is defending the suit on the ground of the
calm that the statutes of limitations has
run, also disputing the justice OF a. large
portion OF plaintiffs account. The case
will occupy the day Tuesday, and the
Jamaica case of Sylvester and Flora S
Rawson VS. Daniel Sherwin is expected tt
occupy the attention of jury on Wednes-
day. 2A@i,1a
1t now seems likely that court will con.
tinue in session all of next week, as nearly
all of the criminal cases will be tried BY
Jury. Deputy George w. Metcalf o
Westminster is assisting Sheriff Gordon

Cantata.

The Baptist church was filled to over
flowing last night when the cantata, I'm
der the Palms" was given under the direc-
ton of Mrs. j. X. Tbayer. The success
of the concert was largely due to the
efforts of Mrs. Thsyer, who has worked
hard and faithfully drilling the chorus for
the past two months.
Those present listened to very pleas
ing concert, everything passing off with
out a hitch. A large chorus of nearly 80
sang the choi uses. The costumes of all
were becoming, the ladies being especially
charming in their Jewish regalia The

accompanied.

The MAcHETE's DEADLY CUT.
Lieut.. Lvns, from Hava.a, Tells
How . spaniard's Body
Was Severed.

Theexecution possible with machete
when welded by brawny Cuban
horseman Ia told by Lieut.. Z. Lying,
assistant surgeon d. S. A.. who is home
inMinneapolison furlough from Cuba.
During his service in Cuba Lieut.. Lying,
whose swarthy complexion causes him
to bc mistaken for q Cuban officer often
er than for a native OF Norway, which
he is, collected many photographs and
relics, says the Chicago News.
"While was in attendance In ono OF
the operating wards" said he, "a Span
lard was brought in'who had been all
but cut in two by machete. The blow
severed his left arm just below the arm
pit, and proceeded through the mans
body until 1T encountered the spine and
breastbone. Few soldiers who fell afoul
Of deft fenccr with the machete ever
lived to tell the tale"
Among Lieut.. Lyng's collection Of
photographs is one Of q gigantic heap
Of bones of reconcentrndos whose bod
les had been thrown in a pile on the out
skirts OF HAVANA and covered with
lime. Another picture shows pit full
of skeletons, where the work Of the
Tuicklime had been loft to vultures.
These were bones OF persons whose
bodies were dug up and moved out of
cemeteries because relatives had been
unable to keep up the installment pay
ments on their graves.

DAFFoD1L LAND.
A new York Artist. Description o,
the Charms of the Sicily
IslandR,

a letter written by New York artist
who is painting there gives an enthusi-
astic description OF the scilly islands,
which have, so fur, been comparatively
unknown to American tourists. Even
the English have been slow in realizing
the charm Of the islands so near their
own shores, but 1t seems that this
spring many artists have gone to "daf-
fodil land" and the winter exhibitions
will probably be flooded with pictures
of the islands. Daffodils have always
grown In great profusion in the Scilly
Islands. February and March are the
height Of their blossoming time, and,
to quote the artists letter:
"The whole land is q blazing sea Of
brilliant yellow daffodils, surging up
upon gray rocks and falling back IN
foambursts of white narcissus. Even
the tulip fields In Holland don't give
such gorgeous effects Of color. You
should stand on one Of the little hills
here and look across the sunlit fields if
you want to SEQ the loveliest things In
the world; yet, sometimes think the
fower-drifted LAND is moro beautiful
under moonlight than in tho daytime,
and. daytime or nighttime, tho air Is
scented as though itblew straight from
Araby the blest,"

BIGGEST CHECK EVER DRAWN.
The Piece of Paper Called for the
Payment Of a Mint Of
Money.

There were made out last year two
checks which were and still are the
largest ever drawn In single financial
transactions, says the st. James Bud
get. The smaller Of the two checks
established, record as the largest ever
drawn, but although 1t was for moro
than $56,ooo,ooo, 1t did not long re-
main the largest, being soon eclipsed
by a check for $622, 100000.
These valuable pieces Of paper were
drawn In connection with the last Chi
nese loan, and the final insta,lment of
the war indemnity money which was
due to Japan from China, and changed
hands in the parlor of the Bank of
England, in the presence of the gov
ernor of the bank, the plenipot entiaries
OF the Chinese and japanese govern
ments, and the managers and sab.
managers of the Hong-Kong and
Shanghai banking corporation
Their record check was the largest
ever drawn by any banking firm. 1t

SNOW SLIDE IN ROCKIES.
When Railway Men OF All stations
Risk Thein>Livcs to Open
the Roads.

There has never been better time
to round out ones experience of life
IN the Rocky mountains than during
the past winter. After having seen
the grandeur and beauty of the noun
tains In summer storms and sunshine
many times, 1t was my good fortune to
get into the midst of drifts and "slides"
In the heart of the mountains of Cold
RADIO, to see the worst of II, and slip
through the great snow trap west Of
Leadviile on one of the few trains that
succeeded in getting over the range,
says writer In Harper's Weekly.
There is all the difference in the
world between q drift and q "slide.s A
rotary snow, plow will merrily bore
Its way through almost any drift, but
"slide" brings down mass 81 rocks
and trees with it, and these must be re-
moved with AK, pick and shovel. With
the thermometer at % degrees below
zero, 300 men-engineers, firemen, Sec
tion men and common laborers-
worked for five daysa sometimes as
much as SO hours without sleep, all
cheerfully risking their lives in the
simple performance Of duty-a com.
monplace courage, but all the more
genuine for that-and finally, after
losing four or five Of their number,
cleared the track for five blockaded
trains. These passed through in the
midst Of q bowling blizzard, and, after
various mishaps, the east~bound trains
reached the eastern slope of the moun-
tains. Then came two feet of snow,
blizzard after blizzard, and the block
ade was once moro esta bl;sbed

GORILLA LACKS CULTURE.
Tho Manliko Animals Have yerr
Short Thumbs, Which They
Cannot Tw1dd1e.

Tho gorilla and chlmpnnzee. which
belong to the higher order Of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there Is one thing they can-
NOT do-that Is, twiddle their thumbs.
Gays an exchange. In the gorilla the
thumb Is short and does not reach
much beyond the bottom of the first
Joint Of tho forefnger. Itisyery much
restricted in Its movements, and the
animal can neither t%iddle his thumbs
nor turn them round, 80 that the tips
describe q circle. There are the same
number Of bones in the hand Of a
gorilla as In the hand of man, but the
thumbs Of the monkey have no sepa-
rate dexor OF bending muscle. This is
why monkey always keeps the thumb
on the Same side as the. fingers and
never bendA II round any object that
may be grasped. In the gorilla the web
between the finger extends to the sec
ond joint, the finger tapers to the tips
and there is q callodty on the knuckles
on which the anmal rests when walk
Ing on all fours. There are many other
strong points Of resemblance between
the ape and man, but-well. we wish to
be charitable to our fellow man and
VIII therefore drop the subject.
