There are now fourteen plantations
west Of the saw mill in high state OF
cultivation. Ten years ago there was
not two. This is The richest part OF
East Carroll, aud it will be only few
more years when that whole country
will be in high state of cultivation as
it was before the war. The valuation
of land in that part of the country is
going higher daily and in few years
it will be an impossibility to purchase
land at any figure. Labor seems TO be
well satisfied out there and there is no
trouble for plantation owners TO
secure all they want.

BOTTOMS DEATH.
Coroner Finds That No Ons Was
Responsible for Il.

Coroner Alphonse Gaulin, Jr., of Woon-
socket, has iled his report on the death
OF Thomas Bolton OF that city
Bolton, it will be remembered. was "A
hypnotic subject" whose life was
crushed out by a granite slab during
the performance by Prof. Farnsworth's
company OF hypnotists on the Woon-
socket Opera House stage on May l6.
After somewhat lengthy report on the
the coroner gives In conclusion his find
ing which reads as follows:
After reviewing the testimony ] find
that Thomas X Bolton came 10 his death
on the evening of May lG. AT the Woon-
socket Opera House, and that his death
was not the result OF the unlawful act
or criminal neglect Of any person
The coroner probably arrived az his
conclusion because of the following facts
which he states I'm a previous report,
viz: THAT Bolton was perfectly con-
scious AT the time of the accident; that he
was only supposed TO be hypnotized, that
he selected the chairs himself selected
the stone himself. selected the hammer
hmslf, and personally selected the man
to do the striking: that he tested the
chairs himself; that there was, i'm fact,
defect I'm one of the chairs, but the
flaw was one that could not be noticed
i'm a general inspection of the chair. and
consequently no parties could be held
responsible for not discovering the flaw"
