READY FOR LEGISLATURE.
Montpelier In Best Attire-Reception on
Wednesday Evening by Represent
alive and Mrs o. Il. Richardson

Montpelier. Sept. 2S.-Montpelier has on
ITS batting clothes and eagerly awaits the
coming of the legislators. The hotels have
been swept and garnished. new carpets
laid, the interiors freshened with new pa
per and paint and the landlords and board
ing house mistresses are wearing their
most becoming smiles The smart gown
and dress suits are ready to be donned for
the reception to be given Wednesday even
ing by Representative elect and Mrs. o.
H. Richardson to the people of Montpelier
and the members of the Legislature, for
the governors reception on Thursday
evening and for the social events of varied
character that always follow each other
In rapid succession during the first few
weeks of a session of the legislature.
The last finishing touches have been put
on at the State house and everything is
in readiness for the republican caucus
called in the general committee room on
Tuesday evening and for the larger events
that will follow on Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Although the coal bins in the basement Of
the State house which usually contain 800
tons of coal at the opening of the session
of the legislature now have less than half
a carload of anthracite coal, the coal
famine need have no terrors for those who
during the next two months will pass their
time under the bronze dome. Sergeant-at
Arms Brock has already provided for $50
cords of four foot wood and II coal cannot
be obtained this wood will be burned in
the furnaces. 1t Is estimated it will take
200 cords of hard wood to heat the build
ing during the months of October and No
vember. John w. Peck of Montpelier will
again be chief engineer with George OIL
saver as assistant.
The public telephone booth for the free
use of the members of the legislature and
State officers will this year be on the
ground floor in the corridor Just beyond
the Office of the secretary of State. The
doors at the west entrance to the State
house will he kept closed and locked be
cause of this. Telephone Instruments Will
on Monday also be placed in the executive
chamber, in the Offices of the State treas
urer, secretary of State and sergeant at
arms. With the instrument now in the
State library this will make six telephones
in the building.
The concrete walks inside and outside the
State house yard, about three thousand
yards in all. have been covered with
crushed soap stone, which lightens up
things perceptibly, and gives the walks the
appearance of being covered with white
sand
The supplies for the sergeant at arms
have all arrived. They were unpacked Sat
urday and put in readiness for distribu-
tion. In the house of representatives ex-
ira accommodations have oeen provided
for the press, and legislators and State Of
fcers will find upon their arrival that
nothing which could induce to their COM
fort or convenience has been left undone
by Sergeant-at-ArmS Brock

VERMONT BUSINESS SITUATION
Burlington Coal Dealers
Praised.

There are no material changes to report
In the business situation in Vermont; the
manufacturing establishments are
rule we'll employed and nothing particular
~ unfavorahle is heard from any manufac-
turing center. The volume of retail trade
is reported satisfactory and collection fair.
The season is now we'll enough advanced to
report on the agricultural situation. Taken
as a whole ii is considered that the crops
will fall considerably below the average,
but prices are firm and the situation Is i'm
proved when the prosperous condition of
the creamerles and the large crop of maple
sugar are taken into consideration. The
labor situation is practically unchanged
from last week. There is a great scarcity
of hard coal the supply having been practi-
cally exhausted. large portion of the
coal used in the northern part of the State
passes through the hands of the Burling
ton dealers who are entitled to praise for
not being disposed to advance the price.
Business in the mills in Burlington is
good, lumber interests are fairly active and
the manufacturing plants In the city are
busy The wholesale dealers in staple
goods find the demand good and collections
fair while the retail trade is reasonably
satisfactory. Montpelier reports business
in both manufacturing and retail lines
moderately good with retail trade Of aver
age volume. In Barre the stone sheds are
busy, collections fair and the retail trade
Is also In healthy condition. Business is
satisfactory at Wells River and no change
is reported in conditions there. St. Johns
bury reports considerable activity in the
manufacturing lines; the scale works are
increasing their capacity and are busy
while other concerns are doing we'll retail
trade good. Barton reports business con-
ditions favorable and business concerns
both in manufacturing and retail lines are
doing well.
The stone sheds in Hardwick are busy
and general business conditions satisfac-
tory. Newport reports manufacturing
| concerns doing the usual amount Of bust
ness. retail trade and collections good but
| agricultural crops below the average. ISL
| and Pond reports manufacturing interests
we'll employed and retail trade fair The
| increase Of freight on the railroad is re-
curing considerable additional help. The
manufacturing concerns In Bennington are
reported as generally busy, retail trade
good. Business Is fairly good In all lines
at st. Adams Reports are favorable al
| Bellows Falls, retail trade active but col
lections said a little slow.

BURNED At STAKE
Young Negro Pays Severe Penal
ty for a Very Atrocious
Crime.
HIS LYNCHlNG ADVERTISED
Hundreds OF People Cams into the City
by Train to Witness the Execution
Confessed His Crime Two Other
Murders and Another Outrage
Crowd Very Quiet.

corinth. Miss. Sept S-Tom Clark
alias VIII Gibson. a young negro. was
burned at the stake here at a late hour
to-day. He had confessed to one of the
most atroCious assaults and murders in
the history of Mississippi
on August 10, last, Mrs Carrie Whitfield,
the wife of a we'll known citizen, wa
found dead in her home. Investigation
showed that. she had been assaulted ana
her head practically severed from her body.
10th Whitfield and his wife were prom
inent.
The surrounding country was scored in
an effort to apprehend the murderer. Two
detectives from Chicago were employed hut
their efforts were frutless and d commit
tee of citizens was named to continue
the search for the murderer. On Nondl ~
last it became known that Tom Clark d
negro living near here, had had trouble
with his wife and that the latter threaten
ed to disclose the secret Of crime. Of
fcers apprehendod the woman and she tcld
enough to warrant the belief that Clark
had murdered Mrs. Whitfield.
Clarke was arrested yesterday. He con-
fessed to the murder and also said that
several years ago he killed two men on an
excursion train in Mississippi. He also
told of an outrage perpctrated by himself
on negro woman. Clark said he had
covered up his tracks in a way to deceive
the Off GERS Of the law.
Alter hearing the confession the COM
mttee decided that the negro should ne
