WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT

A. B. Dugar of Worcester, defend
ant in the case of Union Mutual Fire
Insurance Company against Dugar,
was on the stand nearly all the fore
noon Wednesday. His direct examina-
ton was conducted by r., M. Harvey
and his cross examination by ]. p.
Lamson. Mr.. Dugar denied that he ever
hired Warren Hayford to burn the
barn in question, or that he ever gave
him money, alcohol or whiskey for so
doing The line of defence denies
any knowledge or connection with the
fire. 1t tends to show that bad feeling
towards Dugar had existed among the
tenants on the place and that Warren
Hayford, who testified that Dugar
hired him to burn the barn, had made
threats against Dugar and had stated
that he would get even with him.
Other evidence introduced by the de-
Tense corroborated the testimony of
Mr.. Dugar.

QUARRYMEN WILL STRIKE.

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting Of quarrymen held at the
opera house at East Barre on Thurs
day evening "a special train being run
from Graniteville to accommodate the
quarrymen.
An informal vote was taken to get
the sense of the meeting as to wheth-
er it was in favor of strike or not,
with the result that those present
were in favor of going out on a strike
on April 10 if the quarry owners did
not meet them and ask some sort of a
compromise
Some time since the quarry owners
dismissed the demands made by the
quarrymen and the latter insist upon
some sort of recognition from the
owners.
A strike cannot be declared except
upon ballot vote of the quarrymen.
They will hold meeting to settle
this matter next Wednesday evening
and probably at the same place.
On the return trip to Graniteville
an accident occurred. When the train
was near the Catholic church in
Graniteville the car jumped the rails
and all on board rushed for the door.

LAST RITES.

Cape Town, Apr, 4 Throughput
Thursday morning a Continuous
stream of people passed by the coffin
containing the body of Cecil Rhodes
as it rested III Parliament House.
The funeral procession was most i'm
posing. The coffin was draped with
the tattered Union Jack which be-
longed to Mr. Rhodes, and which he
regarded with peculiar veneration
and with the tattered flag of the Brit
ish South African company which
went through the fight at Massikissi
and was carried on the long Cecil gun
carriage, used at the siege of Kim
berly, through the crowded streets to
the cathedral
The Archbishop made an address
during which he declared that Mr..
Rhodes had faults of which he prob
ably was as conscious as any one, but
nevertheless he was great man.
Though not great churchgoer, con-
tinued the Archbishop, Mr.. Rhodes
was essentially religious.
At the conclusion of the services,
the procession formed, a dead march
was played and the mourners proceed
ed to the station. There the coffin
was borne into the DeBeers company 5
saloon car, which had been converted
into a chapele ardente.
The family, the executors of the
will and others accompanied the re-
mains to Rhodesia.

In his letter Mr. Bryan says in

ton, however, the fact that | am ed
iting a paper and exposing the reor-
ganizers ought to convince people
that l am not planning for personal

the Democratic party would quite
generally be in favor of the taking
care of Confederate graves along with
the graves of Union soldiers, l am
satisfied that if it were put forth as a
campaign issue it would arouse a Bit
terness which might delay reforms far
