1t is not possible at this time to predict
the probable duration of the term. This
will depend largely on the results of the
grand Iury's Investigations, which are as
yet a matter of uncertainty.
In the absence of States Attorney
Donoway the grand jury did not get
seriously down to work until Wednesday
morning, when Mr.. Donoway had re-
turned from Montpelier and was ready
to pilot them through their labors. The
grand jury seem to have plenty of work
cut out for them. There are twelve
persons confined in the county jail
charged with crimes of one sort or an
other, and three of them are females.
The investigation into these cases and
the other matters likely TO come before
them will probably keep the grand Jury
employed for the rest of this week, and
perhaps portion of next week They
had not reported any indictments to the
court up to the hour we close our re-
port.

Vergennes Man Found Dead in
Bed in Burlington Hotel.

Edward Pigeon, a farm laborer of
Vergennes, was found dead at the
Russell house in Burlington, Wednesday
morning, by Joseph Bacon, the proprie-
tor. An autopsy was Immediately held
at the undertaking rooms of j. Il Kelley
by DR.. F. +. Clark, health officer, and
it was determined that death was due
to asphy Xiation.
Pigeon came to Burlington Monday
and went TO the Russell house, where
he has been in the habit of staying when
in Burlington. Tuesday night he retired
shortly after nine o'clock, saying that
he expected TO return to Vergennes the
next morning. Wednesday morning at
about I 80 o'clock Mr.. Bacon went to
but, receiving no answer to his knock,
tried the door, finding it unlocked opened
it, and said:
"IIello, there. Are you coming down
to breakfast:'
He received no reply, but was struck in
the face with a volume of gas that nearly
checked him. Mr.. Bacon again entered
the room rs soon as the gas had escaped
sufficiently, and upon touching Pigeons
body found it cold, showing that death
must have occurred hours before.
Pigeon was fully dressed, and he was
reclining at the head of the bed against
the pillows, his hat having fallen from
his head. The gas jet was wide open.
Pigeon was about 40 years old and has
daughter - years of age at Nergennes.
His wife died several years ago. The
remains will be taken to Vergennes for
burial. No cause for the act can be
assigned. Pigeon was temperate man,
not being addicted to liquor or tobacco.
There were no financial troubles so far
as known, and upon his person were
found S25 20 and a silver watch.
Henry Daniel, Pigeons fatherin law,
went TO Burlington Tuesday night in
company with j. II. Donnelly of YER
gennes for the purpose of taking the body
to his home for burial. An interview
with Mr.. Donnelly revealed the fact that
Mr.. Pigeon had come TO this city for the
purpose of depositing between $3.50 and
500 in the Burlington Savings bank.
This money had come into his possession
through recent sale of property and
the friends of the man are quite anxious
to examine his bank account to see IL
this sum had been deposited, as but
small portion of the amount was found
on his person. Mr.. Donnelly confirmed
the fact that Mr.. Pigeon was man of
temperate habits. Another interesting
fact is that his return ticket to YER
gennes, which was found on the body,
was dated December ,, and he was
registered on the hotel books on Deem
Der |.

Rhe Lorraine at Opera House.

Manager +. Ii. Stone Is fortunate IN
securing Miss Rhe Lorraine and her
company for next week. Miss Lorraine
and her company come here pronounced
by press and public as being positively
the best popular price company on the
road today. Miss Lorraine has gained
an eniable reputation as an actrsss by
her beauty, her fetching gowns and her
wonderful ability to portray the human
emotions, to create laughter or tears at
will. The plays to be presented have
been chosen with one object in view,
that of giving the people the most for the
least money. The specialties between
the acts are well known vaudeville peo-
pie, including Neil Hickey, in comic
songs; Billy Mack, the black-face come
dian in fun and nonsense; Theo Cam
eron's picture machine, and Byrne &
West, the great comedy musicians. The
opening play Monday night, December
s, will be "The Partisan Princess" and
ladies will be given complimentary re-
served seats for Is cents. Those who
secure their seats early will be fortunate
in avoiding the rush always to be ex-
pectel during the engagement of Rhe
Lorraine and her company.

The work of the court was resumed
promptly on the hour Wednesday morn
ing and was continued at gratifying
rate of progress during the day. Preli
mnarilv. the case of Delano, Potter &
Co. v. +. j. Whitney, appellant, which
stood open on the general docket, was
entered discontinued. This was under
stood to be a case of considerable impor
lance TO the interested parties.
Next to be brought up was the case of
DR.. +. O. Porter V. the town of Cornwall.
This case has been on the docket since
1895 and has for some years been on the
State Supreme Court docket for argument
of point of law which was necessary to
be settled before the case should come
before IA petit Jury. DR.. Porter is the
well-known physician who has practiced
for years in this part of the county, and
the present suit was brought to recover
pay for a considerable number of vacci-
nations which he made of people in the
town of Cornwall at the instance of the
selectmen of that town and, as it was
understood, under the authority of the
statute law. 1t seems that a question
arose as to the authority of the selectmen
of the town. and subsequent board de-
clined TO ratify their action by paying
DR.. Porter's bill. Hence the suit. Stewart
& Wids were the original attorneys for
Porter and Button & Button for the de-
PENDANT town. Judge Bliss now repre-
sents the town, and as Gov. Stewart w as
away from home, Mr.. Bliss suggested
that the case might as well be left open
for the present, and it was so ordered.
Wallace Cook of Salisbury was eX-
cused from service on the petit jury for
the term on account of the state of his
health, and the divorce case of Asahel
III. Hubbard V. Susan w. Hubbard was
next taken up. The petitioner has long
been resident of Whiting and for two
years, from 1898 to 1900, was one of
the assistant Judges of the county.
1t was while holding that official pos
itiOn that he was united in marriage to
the petitionee. There seemed to be an
imcompatbility of temper, or other
source of friction between them, and
happily. Judge Hubbard filed his petit
ton for divorce December 3, 1900, and
lust ten days later Mrs. Hubbard filed a
cross-bill Messrs. w. III. Bliss and Il
w. Moloney appear for the woman in
both cases and w. ii. Davis and f, H.
Fish represent the husband. Mr.. Bliss
asked Wednesday for temporary almony
for his client of $50 or some such sum
but at the request of Mr.. Davis the
matter was held open until Mr.. Fish who
was absent in Montpelier to be heard fol-
the state before the joint judiciary com
mittee of the legislature in the hearing
in the bill for the Communication to lif'
Imprisonment of the sentence to dealt
of Frederick Eastwood, the murderer o
Franklin Fem. could attend to tina
matter and return to town. Mr.. Dav
also stated that, in pursuance of an orde
of the court at the last December term
Mr.. Hubbard had joined with his wifi
in signing mortgage deed on her owl
real estate to enable her to raise fund.-

Badly Burned.

William Pears Ons, of Poultney, who
was so badly burned Saturday that it
was believed he would succumb to his
injuries, is now so much improved that
it is thought he will recover.
The details of the affair were learned
Tuesday and it is evident that Pearson's
life being spared is due entirely to a
remarkable exhibit of courage on his
own part.
A lot of rubbish had been gathered
together on the old fair grounds and
thrown into a heap. Pearson had set
fire to the rile and was working
about it when suddenly can of gun
powder that had been accidentally thrown
into the fire exploded but few feet
from him, throwing fire all over him.
His clothes caught fire in several places
and he made a desperate effort TO eXtin-
guish the flames but they spread rapidly
and seeing that it was no use to attempt
to save his life in that way, he, with
great presence of mind, rushed to a
deserted quarry only few feet away,
and threw himself in. The quarry is a
very deep one and there are not over a
dozen feet OF water at the bottom, but
he was entirely unlDiured by the fall.
The flames were Immediately eXtin-
guished, but not until he had been
horribly burned. Had he been q few
seconds latter in jumping into the water
he would not have had any chance of re-
covery.
Pearsons managed to crawl out of the
quarry and walked quite a distance until
he met some men who took him in a
carriage 70 his home. How the can of
powder happened to get into the fire
cannot be explained but the occurrence
is believed to have been purely acct
dental.
Mr.. f. III. Hitchcock of Pittsford, one
of the state board of cattle commissioners,
whose term expired last Sunday, was in
town last Friday afternoon and Satur-
day looking into the matter of foot and
mouth disease among cattle in this vi
entity, but was wholly unable to find any
traces of the disease in this section, and
he stated that no trace of ii had been
found anywhere in Vermont except in
the one town of Chester. Mr.. Abram
Williamson, our local dealer, whom an
abs urd rumOr had connected with the
spread of the disease to another state,
gave Mr.. Hitchcock all the assistance in
his power during the investigation.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Early Liverpool adyices were somewhat better than looked for, but our market opened sa4 points lower, de. ciined e@IO additional on the subsequent easiness in Liverpool, the fair weather preva- lent throughout the belt and predictions of higher temperatures, coupled to the restricted demand for spots and apathy of exporters. closing at a net loss of l21l3 points on the day Light frost was reported at Fort smith. Ark. and Ardmore. l. T.: whilst elsewhere for higher temperatures. The disappointing ad- vices from Liverpool and Manchester and the fact that spinners seem to entirely dlscredtt fhe bureau all combined to bring on additional reaiizing, causing the weakness exhibited to- day The recent heavy rains will in all probability have tendency to curtail the movement as is evidenced by the receipts for fhe first three days of the week. The support of the New York bull clique" was with drawn today and the narrowing of January and March positions in that market has given rise to all kinds of comment and theories. However, irrespective in these factors future weather conditions will have an important bearing on the final yield and it must not be forgotten that we are daily drawing nearer fine date of killing frosts. With the revulson of feeling, which is apparent. values may Temporarily seek a lower level. but we think purchases any marked decline will eventu- ally prove profitable.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 6.-The news from Liverpool today contained no encouraSement For the bulls in cotton. Spot sales in the Eng tish market reached 10000 bales at un-
 khanged quotations, but deliveries moved back l02 points The weekly review of trade In
 Manchester was unsatisfactory in the sense
 that bids for goods were decidedly tmprac-
 ficable While the narrow margin of proht agRs said to prevent spnners from making any Soncssslons, disappointment amongst longs was E kery perceptibie from the start here, owing
 so the cold spell failing to develop killing tenn
 beratures in the belt. Trading consequently
 Proceeded in the nature of liquidation, which deceived further persuasion from the spot de-
 bartment where an indifferent demand was Reported and easy tone prevailed final uuotations mark decline Of l24l3 points 5 ns compared with Saturday. Failure to ob- serve any record of killing frost in the belt, since Saturday, was aggravating enough to those who had pinned faith to the Govern, xnent's forecast and predictions of fair and warmer weather during the next 36 hours only made matters worse. yet the belief that the weekly crop report tomorrow would pre- sent a gloomy picture of the Condition In Texas resulting from recent downpours, fur nished the basis of hope for immediate re- cuperation. After all. however. the nature Of demand and offerings in the spot department will exert a dominating influence on contracts and if the spinner is capable of deferTing pur- chases to suit his pleasure. it will devolve upon the country to manifest equal ability to hold firm in the meantime in order to pre- serve the stability of prices, though of course fhe frost feature will be systematically in Sected into the situation for the ensuing 30 days but with what effect remains to be seen

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-The cotton market bpsnsd easy with prices 65 points under bet ter weather reports from the belt and reports of weakness in the stock market. Following the call the tendency was steadily downward Ill day the final prices being about bottom for the session.
 Commercial houses sold freely under stop orders and Wall Street bulls failed at all times to offer support. At first the room con- ttpgent was slow to believe in serious de- cline feeling sure the bull contingent would step In and bid the whole list rapidly up- ward. But as the forenoon wore along and no eigns of pulling came to the front the trade put out extensive short lines.
 The private crop reports. while still some what bullish, less so than in some time pest and the recent very small crop estimates were less popular
 Receipts for the day were moderate and the export clsarances fair. but the official esti- mates for tomorrow's receipts pointed to an uaxly resumption of an unrestricted movement
 The late bad slump in the stock market az Rravated the weakness in cotton. The Janu- ary and March breach was narrowed to 10 points at enc time in the afternoon as com barred with 25 points but a short time ago.
 The market closed barely steady and net u492o points lower. ,..
 Total sales were estimated at 25o 900 bales, the great bulk of which was done in the Win Ger mopths Liverpool all things considered, was better than expected but failed to any Rny check the downward movement here E,he South sold here also.
