POWERS CONVICTED.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. N.-"We, the
Jury, find the defendant guilty, and fix
his punishment at confinement in the
penitentiary for the rest of his natural
life" This was the wording of the YER
dict rendered in the case of ex-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers, charged with be-
ing an accessory before the fact to the
murder of William Goebel
The jury retired at 1882 p. m. and re-
turned it's verdict at 2:25, having been
out only So minutes. Only one ballot
was taken, and the vote in favor of a
life sentence was unanimous.
When the jury retired the belief was
general that its members would fail to
agree, and in this opinion the defendant
himself was firmly convinced.
When the verdict was returned, Pow
ers, for the first time during the weary
six weeks of the trial, betrayed his feel
ings. Under all of the trying incidents
of the trial he had mintained change
less expression. The verdict of guilty,
however, apparently staggered him.
There was no sort of demonstration
following the verdict and the vast crowd
filed out of the courthouse almost in
silence.
The jury which sat in the case was
composed of eight Democrats, three
anti-Goebel Democrats and one Repub-
Ijcan

PASTURES GREATLY IMPROVED.
Dropping Of Fruit Also Checked by Rainfall In
The New ENGLAND District.

Boston, Aug. 21.-FolloWing is state
Ynent of the weather and crop conditions
Of New England, compiled from the re-
ports of correspondents of the weather
bureau throughout the section, for the
week ending Aug. 20:
The past week was favorable for crops
not yet matured. The weather Of the
week preceding had produced much
damage in portions Of southern New
England, and in south central Connecti-
cut the drought still prevails. While
the heavy rains of the past week have
been of inestimable value to corn, pota-
toes, buckwheat and turnips they have
retarded harvesting in the northern
states. In some instances fields of I'M
cut wheat, oats and barley have lodged
badly Under such conditions the pre-
vailing cloudy and wet weather has
caused considerable damage. Though
the straw of early grain was light, and
though the hay crop was short, the late
fodder will be luxuriant. Millet, Hun
garian grass, and all crops sown for
ensilage are making rapid growth.
The rains have apparently checked
the falling of apples, peaches and plums,
and have greatly increased the black
berry yield in northern localities. No
agricultural interest has been improved
more during the week than dairying.
Pastures everywhere are greatly i'm
proved; streams that were dry 10 days
ago are now running and there has been
a marked increase in the supply of the
milk. While harvesting has been him
dered other farm operations have been
helped by the rainfall. Fall blowing has
now begun, and fields will at once be
prepared for fall seeding.
Northern New England will secure
splendid second growth Of grass, but
only portion of the southern district
will be so favored. Meadows every
where, however, are now improving, and
pastures that were brown a few days
ago are now green.
Corn is late, but very promising. Little
buckWheat was sown in Connecticut on
account of the dry weather.
Despite the large amount Of apples
that have fallen, there yet remains an
average crop. In dry districts marXet-
able apples will be less than usual, but
cider apples will be in great quantities.
A few correspondents from Maine state
that while the trees are laden the fruit
is small. Plums and grapes are abun-
dant and f1ourlshing.
Beans and late potatoes are doing
well, though several reports from Maine
and Vermont state that blight has af-
fected the latter crop. Rust has seri-
ously Injured cucumbers and melon
vines. Few turnips were sown in the
dry areas.

Drain the Roads.

The State of Massachusetts has ap.
propriated thousands of dollars to
build macadamized roads, as they say
to give the people an object lesson of
the great advantage of having good
roads, and how good roads should be
made. Many other States have done
and are doing similar work. We are
glad to see II. The roads are benefit
to the sections through which they
pass, and the building them has been
of great advantage to men who need
ed the labor or the money that the
labor earned. But we fear that as a
lesson to town superlntendents OF
streets II will not be very useful. Such
roads are very expensive, and town
appropriations would not build long
stretches of them, nor under the pres.
ent system of repairing highways can
many towns do more than keep the
dirt roaus passable for part of the
year and almost impossible for the
rest of the time. We would like to
have few hundred dollars to eXpend
on some roads that we know In drain
ing the road beds so that neither sur.
face water nor water from beneath
should be there to make them soft
when the frost comes out of the
ground. We have seen bit OF road
receive more material and labor each
year than would have been paid for
draining it, so that II would scarcely
have needed any more outlay on ii fol
the next five years. Draining would
have been as permanent an improve,
ment as macadamizlng If the work
had been well done, and would not
have been expensive. Boston Cultiya,
