Acted as Counsel.

II is claimed by Pulies' counsel that he
actually had nothing TO do with the agree
ment entered into by McGoines, but was
merely acting as his counsel in the mat
ter.
When Mr. Dunlop concluded his evil
dence Detective Sam Brown was called.
His testimony was in reference 10 state
ments made to him by the defendant and
McGoines. Whenever Pulies' name was
interjected into these conversations his
counsel protested vigorously, and in ar
guments on this point the greater part OF
the afternoon session was consumed. The
trial will be resumed this morning.

LITTLE PROGRESS IN
CONSPIRACY CASE
Traction Attorney Tells of
Talk With Defendants.
Major Portion of Time Taken Up by
Counsel for Defence in Effort to
Have Testimony Shut Out.

Beyond the giving of testimony of Mr..
Thomas 7. Dunlop, jr., assistant attor-
ncy Scr the Capital Traction Company
but little progress was made in the trial
of Llcwellyn ". Pulies and George Nc
Goines. who are charged in Criminal
Court Nc. / with conspiracy. The spe-
ciic charge against the accused is that
they confcdorated to secure sec from the
Capital Traction Company for evidence to
Ic given relative to the deata of George
Thomas. colored. who was killed in an
accident on tha. road in A.ril. 1901.
L was stated that McGoines was the
man ,'ho FIRST went 10 MIR. Dunlop and
offered 10 testify in favor of the Capital
Traction Company in suit to be brought
by the administrator Of the Thomas es-
tate. Fu.iCs. ii is said. afterward visited
5lr Dunlop Is ihe agent Of McGoines.
Admissible as Evidence.
Counsel for the defence objected to any
testimony being given relative to what
either of the defendants did CT said after
their meeting with Mr.. Dunlop. on the
ground that ii should be proven that they
conspired TO defraud the railroad COM
pany before that time. In other words,
that the conspiracy must be shown TO
have existed before their declarations
Should be admitted as evidence against
them.
The arguments occupied the attention
of the court until near noon when Justice
Anderson decided that the testimony OBJ
jected to was admissible.
Mr.. Dunlop went on to state the sub
stance of the conversations he held with
McGoines and Puiies in reference to the
matter. 1t was substantially that Nc
Comes had said that he was a witness to
the death Of Thomas. and that he rail-
road company was at fault. However, he
would agree to give such testimony as the
traction company desired, provided he
was psid s3e0. the amount which Thomas
friends would. he said, pay him.

The big 1G-inch coast defense gun,
which was manufactured at the Water
vliet, n. y. arsenal, was shipped on the
2Gth on the Merritt. Chapman compaDy's
largest barge to the Sandy Hook proving
grounds, and reached there some time
Friday. The largest crane in the world
had to be pressed into serving to load
the gun on the barge on which it was
transport ted down the Hudson river.
Under the direction of Colonel Finlsy,
commandant at the arsenal, the gun was
loaded on a speciality constructed car,
weighing 1920 pounds, and slowly
moved to the arsenal dock where, by
means of the crane and mammoth der
rick, it was swung on to the barge.
The following are the dimensions of
this great weapon of coast defense
Length oyer al, 40 feet 30 inches, dia-
meter at breech feet, bore 1G inches.
Its construction was begun May II,
1898, and it was finished June u, 1902.
Some faint idea of Its power can be
obtained by the statement that she
shoots proiectile weighing 1870
pounds, a distance of q miles. When
the smokeless powder is used it will
require $40 pounds, or about 1000
of black powder. The crude steel from
which the gun was assembled weighed
3GS. 900 pounds.
1T has cost in material, labor and ma
chinery about $4,000. a large amount
of new machinery had to be made for the
work. one of the largest cranes in the
world, if not the largest, was built to
handle it. New lathes were secured and
an immense amount of new machinery
was purchased. The cost was so much
that it is doubtful if any more of similar
size will be built. When it was decided
to build this gun it was the intention of
the government to construct about
twenty 1G inch guns but the cost has
been such that the project will undoubt-
edlV be abandoned.

Vermont Dairy School.

The twelfth annual session of the Yer
mont Dairy School will open at Burling-
ton on January 10Th. 1t Will last four
weeks. The school will be conducted on
the same lines as hitherto, teaching the
science and art of butter making in all
its branches by lecture. text book, lab
oratory, and by actual work with sep
aratOrs, churn and butter workers. The
cost of the months schooling in modern
dairying, including board, need not ex-
coed twenty five dollars. Over five hun
dred Vermont boys and few Vermont
girls have attended during the past eleven
years, and all speak well of the value of
the course. Young men or young wo-
men who desire to learn modern methods
of dairying are invited to correspond
with the officers of the school. For par
ticulars address Dairy School, Burling-

An Autumn Reverie.

When Autumn turns away, glowing flush
Lies on the face of Earth. Her youth
seems gone.
And as her beauties one by by one are
shorn
From off her, she, in shame, gives sudden
blush:
The haunting winds sweep round her form
and rush
Her drifting foliage in a whirl of scorn
Down the long turning of the night and
morn.
Into the silence of a winters hush.
The color Of the wood, the field, the sky,
Turn from their brighter tones to sombre
gray
And stand on guard, as though to certify
The year had won its rest. Its form OF
clay
Must sleep if it would waken by and by
To rise into another years long day.

Foot and Mouth Disease.

The startling announcement Is made
that the dreaded foot and mouth dis
ease" has been discovered among cattle
in Addison county.
The Hon. c. j. Bell, of Walden, men,
Der of the state board of cattle commits
sioners, and DR.. F. A. Rich, veterinary
surgeon of Burlington, came to this
place Tuesday to make Investigations as
to The supposed origin of the foot and
mouth" disease which has appeared
among Rhode Island cattle to a consider
able extent. Mr.. Bell received tele-
gram from the secretary of agriculture,
Washington, stating that the appearance
of the disease has been traced to Add
son county, Vermont, and that diseased
cattle had been shipped into Rhode Is
land by dealer residing IN Addison
county. The secretary requested Mr..
Bell as a member of the state cattle COM
mission to investigate the matter.
Mr.. Bell had previously had no intma-
ton that the foot and mouth disease had
appeared in Vermont and believes that
it has not spread to any great extent.
The drinking of the uncooked milk of an
affected COW brings on sore mouth to
human beings.
Mr.. Bell found that the dealer who
was suspected of shipping the alleged
diseased cattle was out of town and
would return In day or two, so nothing
further was done. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Bell or Mr.. Hitchcock, of Pittsford,
another member of the commission. will
return today with DIR. Rich to make
further investigations.
