TWO MURDER TRIALS.


Present Term.
The September term of Chittenden
county court, which opened In Burling-
ton tuesday morning with Judge Love
land Munson of Manchester presiding,
will be distinguished from any recent
term in that 1t has two murder trials up
on the docket. The last murder trial in
that county was that completed in Oc-
tober, 1896, when Mrs. Rose Fourier
and Ef1le Cox Whalen were sentenced
for 20 years each to the states prison
for the murder of the formers husband
The two cases in which the respond
ents are accused of murder to be heard
at this term of court are those of the
State VS.. Gilbert Farmer, who is alleged
to have murdered Agnes Willis on the
evening of Monday, Dec. IL, at her
home on lower Cherry street, and the
State VS.. Curtis Pnoler, who is accused
of the murder of Aleck DevinO in West
ford Tuesday afternoon, March 10.
The first crime was committed about 8
O'Clock in the evening and the victim
was found upon a bed in her room in
the second story of a tenement house
with her throat cut. Both victim and
accused are colored. People living IN
the rooms below had seen the dead
woman in Farmers company during the
afternoon and evening and the theory
was that after killing the woman he ran
out and jumped from the stairway lead
ing to the rooms. He was arrested late
that night at the home of his mother and
denied knowledge of the crime. Search
for the knife, which he used, resulted in
its discovery in an outbuilding and it
will be used in the case. The crime was
the most CHASTITY one committed in this
vicinity in years. The crime was dis
covered by Mrs. Carsaw, the sister of
the dead woman. Three days after the
crime Farmer made confession to
Sheriff Reeves and told in what manner
the act was committed.
The Devino murder was committed at
the barn of the deceased on his farm a
few miles from Westford Center. Devi-
no was found lying underneath the
heels of one of his horses with a bullet
wound from 3S calibre revolver fired
from behind him in his back. There
was also another wound in the left
shoulder. Investigation failed to es.
tablish a satisfactory motive for the
crime. Pooler was at the time stopping
in the city and Immediately after the
murder drove away with a borrowed
team. 1t was found that he drove all
night and he was finally located at the
home of Fred Stafford in Colchester. He
left this place the day after the crime
and went back TO WestfOrd, where he
was taken into the custody of the local
officers. After his arrest and while at
the Jail here PoOler claimed in an inter
view that he shot Devino in self defence
when he saw the latter place his hand on
his hip as if to draw gun. He also
said that as Devino did this he said sri
settle you Devlno had family.
Pooler's counsel is V. A. Bullard and
that of Farmer is J. f. Cushman. No
preliminary hearings have ever been
held in either of the cases.

II. j. Darling, p years old and resi-
dent of Cambridge, Mass, is at the Mary
Fletcher hospital in Burlington, with an
ugly cash in his neck. 1t is case of at
tempted suicide, the result of an unre-
Quilted affection. 1t appears that he is
enamored of a Young woman employed
at Camp knglewood. keeler's bay, Grand
Isle. He went to the camp, sought out
the young woman and entered into an
earnest conversation with her. In less
than an hour the Young woman's screams
announced a tragedy and it was speedily
found that Darling had attempted to
commit suicide by cutting his throat
with a razor.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
OUR YANKEE MOSQUITO.


1t did not require the efforts of an
entomologist to impress upon us the
general iniquity of the mosquito; but to
a government entomologist. DR.. l.. q.
Howard, whose "Notes on the Mosqui-
toes of the United States" has Just been
published by the department of agricul-
ture. we are indebted for an interesting
and collouuial discussion of the mos
uutos structure and biology, together
with some suggestions regarding pro-
lection from the ancient pest.
We say "ancent'' because it was a
plague of mosquitoes that drove Sapor,
King of Persia. to raise the siege of Nisi-
bis. Nearer our own time, Humboldt
found mosquitoes so thick between the
harbor of Higuerote and the mouth of
the Rio Uuare that "the wretched inhab-
itants are accustomed to stretch them
selves on the ground and pass the night
buried In sand three or four inches deep,
leaving ont the head only, which they
cover with handkerchief And Kirby
and Spence, two entomologists. found
that in Lapland 1.-The natives cannot
take q mouthful of food or lie down to
sleep in their cabins unless they be flu
mioated almost to suilocation.' Only
last week we referred to the feroclty of
the mosquitoes of Alaska. These facts
mark the universally of the mosquito.
Not all mosquitoes live near stagnant
water: some have been seen upon dry
prairies, miles from water. The adults
hibernate, but they die rather quickly in
confinement in the summer. They like
blood. but they have also been seen sip
ping water. molasses, beer and port
wine: indeed. they have been seen stag
gering drunk. They spread with the
wind, sometimes going as far as 10 miles
and they are also carried about the
country in railroad cars. OF the 21O
species, happily only 30 have been en-
countered in this country. Their entire
development lasts from 10 to a days.
The animal to whom we are most in
debted for their departure from this vale
of tears is the dragon fly, who feeds on
the larvT and pupU.
Here are some remedies: Pyrethum
powder, kerosene cups, camphor, oil of
pennvroyal. oil of tar, eucalyptol, car
bolated vaseline, oil of lavender, tincture
of Ledum palustr;e. oil of cloves. house

THE MoFFETT LECTURE.
At First Methodist Church-Jerusalem
 and Palestine.

At First Methodist Church-Jerusalem
 and Palestine.
 The second of the series of illustrated lectures given by Cleveland Moffett, under the auspices of the New Haven Young Mems Christian association, was delivered at the First Methodist church last evening. Because of the storm the audience was not so large as was ex- pected, but it was representative one and was highly pleased with what it heard and saw.
 The subject of the lecture was "Je- rusalem and Palestine" and the pie lures were all new--taken by MT. Mof- fett last year, and showed the Holy Land as it really is MT. Moffett ad- ysed prospective tourists to visit the Holy Land ill May. He said the tenn perature was then 120 to 130, but, as the heat was so dry the climate was no more trying than that of this city. He told of the horrors of the Turkish quarantine and how to avoid them. The stereopticon reproduced In colors scenes from Palestine, a region only one thir- ty-sixth the size of Texas, yet rich in relics of nearly all historical epochs. The temple of Solomon, the walls of Jerusalem, Roman vases and the fortifi- cations of the Crusaders were shown as they appear to-day. The valley of tha Jordan and the Dead Sea and the Sea of Gallilee are seen. and with all these the natives of the present with gar ments riot of brilliant coors.
 MT. Moffett commented unfavorably on the practical result of the Zionist movement. He said the beneficiaries were merely content there, they made no exertion to support themselves or do any good in the world so long as the contributions from those interested are forthcoming. He cited an instance of one lad he met there who had gradual; ed from the Philadelphia high school and was qualified to support himself here, and who was now living in idle ness and squalor in Jerusalem.
 The next and last lecture will be next Thursday night on Turkey; the Land of Mystery" illustrated with specially fine ovens.

HAMPSTEAD CAPTIVES.
An Interesting Article by Ellen Strong Bartlett

An Interesting Article by Ellen Strong
 Bartlett.
 An extremely interesting article by Miss Ellen Strong Bartlett in the March number of the New England Magazine gives an account of the "Amistad Captives," whose trial made a great sensation here years ago. The article shows evidence os careful re- search, and besides presenting the strange combination of events, the le- gal complications, and the long excite ment which marked the affair it brings together a mass of incidents connected with it evidently gleaned from contem- poraries of the event. It is well that such a record has been made. and put in permanent form. Those who were on the scene at the time are passing away, and their recollections are prec- ious. The portraits and copies Of old prints which illustrate the article add to it's interest. The article will be of es- pecial interest to New Haven people and Miss Bartlett's previous admirable work in her many previous literary contributions is a guarantee of the reJ liability and excellence of this, her lat est endeavor.

 TO-NIGHTS POLO GAME.

 the Pennant

 the Pennant.
 To-night's polo game at Bowling hall gives promise of being the best game of the season. Tom Cotter and his men from Hartford are again the Blues op- ponents. The teams are now tied fol first place in the race for the pennant, New Haven having won a hard game at Meriden last night, which gave them the same number of games won and lost as Hartford. The game last Friday was voted by all who saw it one of the finest games played in a long time. There is little doubt but that to-night's S contest will be equally as good and 1t will undoubtedly be stubbornly fought by the visitors, who have still to win their first game in this city. Then again very much depends on the result of Friday and Saturdays game in de- ciding where the pennant may go. Taken altogether the game ought to be well worth seeing.
