MURDERED At PLYMOUTH.
Woman Who Lived TTfth Victim, At
tackled by Murderer, Is Saved by
Fellow Italian.

Woodstock, June 22.-An Italian,
Castellini Ceppino, boss of the pulp
wood camp at Plymouth, a short
distance from this town, was mur-
dered in cold blood yesterday after
noon about o'clock by workman
under him by the name of Frances
co Jennelaro. The murderer at
tempted to kill Luisa Thiralci, the
woman in the case who was living
with Ceppini, but was checked in
this by Vincenzo Miratoto. who was
an eye witness to the first tragedy.
Jennelaro was brought was brought
to this town in an automobile and
is under surveillance. A special
grand jury will be called together
and it is hoped to have the case
tried at the present term of court.
The murder was one of the most
atrocious in the history Of the coun-
try occurring in broad day light in
the center of little settlement of
houses. The victim had been in this
country for about three years and
had just taken out his first naturali-
zation papers. Both he, the woman
in the case and the murderer are
said to have come from the same
town in Italy near Messtna and that
the murder is the result of jealousy
of long standing for the woman's IA
vor. 1t is said that the murderer
hunted his victim in Italy for long
time before they came to this coun-
try and then followed them here go
ing to work in the camp where Cep-
pini was employed as boss.
After Jennelaro had stabbed his
victim to death he attacked the wo-
man who came to his rescue but his
plans were thwarted by another
italian who saw the whole affair.
The workmen strapped the murderer
to the stump of a tree until the Of
ficers arrived and took him by au-
tomobile to Woodstock. He is said
to have tried to take his own life on
the way but without success. The
woman, while badly bruised, is not
fatally hurt.

HANSON BEATS LABOSSIA.
Swede Gets Both Falls With Toe
Hold Grip.

Burlington, June 23.-Fritz Han
SON. champion welterweight wrestler
Of the world, downed Kid LaBossia
of Charlestown, N. H, and former
ly champion of the Philippines,
twice last evening in the city hall
before a large crowd. Hanson used
the terrible Gotch toe hold each
time, getting the first fall in II min
utes and the second fall in 20 min
utes. The match was the toughest
that has been seen here.
LaBossia looked as though he
weighed more than Hanson and ap-
peared to be more of match for the
fair-haired Swede than any man seen
here heretofore, notwithstanding the
short time of throws Time and
again the men fell heavily to the
mat, with Hanson generally on top,
but LaBossia was able to wiggle out
Of all holds but the deadly toe hold.
Following the last throw LaBos-
sia's leg was bent to such degree
from the effects of the toe hold that
he was hardly able to walk Never
theless, he challenged Hanson for a
match in three weeks time, the
strangle and toe holds to be barred.
Hanson accepted the challenge on
the spot. The weight at the time
is to be 14S pounds

JUDGE SCOTT
GIVES DECISION
Defence Expected to Take Case Of
Condemned Liquor to Supreme
Court as Test Case. Details Of
Big Barre Seizure.

Judge II. w. Scott Of Barre has
given his decision in the liquor
seizure case in which 19 barrels of
wine were taken at the Central
Vermont station in Barre some
weeks ago upon a warrant made
out by States Attorney Benjamin
Gates. The decision orders the II
barrels of wine which bore the same
names on the tags as on the bills
of lading to be returned to the par
ties. In the case of three barrels,
which nobody has claimed and
about which there was no evidence
introduced it is not known what dis
position will be made of the liquor.
The five barrels which bore tags
which had been changed from the
original names on the bills of lad
ing were ordered condemned.
It is probable that the defence
will submit the decision of Judge
Scott in the case of the barrels con-
demned to the Supreme court on a
statement of fact for ruling as a
test csc. These barrels have been
called for as follows: G.. CALI of
Northfield 1, A. Morandi of Bethel
2 c.. Conf of West Berlin L and
Angelo Conf of West Berlin 1.
1t will be remembered that these
10 barrels came consigned to Ciocci-
lombard Co. of San Francisco, the
shippers, with notice to notify A.
Della Bernardini.

+. N. Stewart Broke Wrist While at
Work on New Stone Shed of Rob-
ert Fraser

A fall OF about 80 feet from a
staging was the cause of a broken
wrist for l. N. Stewart Tuesday af-
ternoon, and under the circumstan-
ces, the outcome was extremely fort
unate for the injured man Mr..
Stewart has been employed as
carpenter on the shed, which has
been in process Of construction for
some weeks and yesterday was on
staging about 80 feet - from the
ground with Herbert Slayton, when
in some way, not exactly known,
one board came lose allowing him
to fall to the ground below. Just
under the staging was a pile Of
building stones, and had Mr.. Stew
art landed on these, he must have
been seriously if not fatally injured,
but the board from the staging fell
just ahead of him and formed a
bridge across two of the blocks which
projected above the pile, thus break
ing the fall to large extent. His
left wrist was badly fractured, and
he was moved to his home for treat
ment, as he was unconscious and It
was not known whether or not he
was injured internally.

ly portray the pictures of other
lands as she has had a wonderful
experience having been around the
world on the ship of which her hus-

periences and incidents of the Jour
ney at ports in Africa, South Amer
lea and the Philippine Islands.
Mrs. Robinson's husband died in
Liverpool, England. about nine
years ago, after a few days illness
with pneumonia at the end of a sea
trip. Mrs. Robinson came from Can
ada so what she doesn't know about
the sea isn't worth knowing. Speak
ing Of the heat of Tuesday and the
complaints heard about it's intensity
she called attention to her exper-
ience in Manila and told about the
day OF their arrival there and how
her face blistered in walking a
short distance in the sun.
Mrs Robinson left Wednesday for
Burlington to spend a day and from
there will go to Silver Bay to at
tend the Young Peoples Mission for
week and then will go directly
to Boston where she has a position

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Montpelier Man and His Bride In
Runaway as Result Of Friends
FOOlishness.


A practical joke on wedding
party came near resulting fatally
at Burlington Tuesday morning,
shortly after the marriage of Will
liam F.. Jangraw of Montpelier a1d
Miss Frances Tobin of Burlington.
A closed carriage containing the
bride and groom, Miss Minnie B
Casey and L. J. Emmons of Mont
pelier. bridesmaid and best man,
was driving down College street at
rapid rate when a city carter
drove his wagon across the path on
Battery street crossing.
The driver of the wedding rig was
forced to rein his horses up steep
bank at the roadside, throwing him
out. The horses then resumed their
trip to the station at breakneck
speed. accompanied by screams from
the people in the carriage. The an
imals were caught and no one was
seriously injured.
The pole was broken in three
places, one wheel taken off and the
rear springs damaged. It appears
that friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jang-
raw had contracted with the man
to block the street so they could tie
old shoes and other articles to the
rear Of the wagon.

Floatina Upside Down.

An amusing incident, which might have been a tragical one, occurred during the building of the lighthouse on Minot's ledge, says the Boston Transcript. Ire mendous difficulties were encountered, for the rock is only visible at low tide, and then is so covered with slippery sea moss as to make 1t extremely difficult to keep footing. The difficulty of fitting stones held aloft on a swinging crane while the waves were dashing round the worl1men's legs can well be imagined. Lots of ham mers and tools were swept from the rock and lost One of the workmen, more in ventve than the others, conceived the brilliant idea not only of wearing a life belt, but of tying his hammer to his waist. 1t seemed so good a plan that all the rest of the men promptly copied 1t. The best plans, however. have their drawbacks, and their enthusiasm for this one was considerably cooled when its inventor was washed off the rock by a breaker. The heavy hammer tied to his wrist pulled him head downward and, though the life belt kept him upon the surface, nothing could be seen of the un- fortunate man but his legs kicking above the water. He was rescued, but with the greatest difficulty.

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN STOCK MARKET Public Demand for Stocks Is
 Greater Than Usual PROFITS FREELY TAKEN Undertone of Market Is Strong Throughout Although Selling for
 Profit Causes Decline Near
 the. Close.
By THOMAS c. sHoTWELL.

New York, May -(Special.)-Another series of high records delighted Wall street today. These record breakers were impressive for on the list were St. Paul, Steel preferred Southern Pacific and the leading copper shares. Public demand for stocks came in great volume through commission houses. Professional Wall street took profits freely in the first hour and forced the market to close frac- tion under the best figures The under tone was strong throughout.
 London was active and strong in the American department to the very last transaction.
 The report from Pittsburg that inde- pendent steel companies would combine is receiving respectful attention in good quarters.
 The bank statement showed a ma terial increase in loans and a decrease in surplus reserves. The question of money did not worry the street and the bank statement will probably have no influence on Mondays market.
 Wall street has seen a belated demand for Investments the last week that had almost the appearance of genuine bull market. The exciting cause was the de- cision of the supreme court in favor of the railroads in the anthracite cases. This decision stirred up all business in- terests in the country and a flood of or ders overwhelmed the Steel trust, the copper producing companies and all in dustrial concerns. Some of the great railroads began putting in orders that had been withheld many months more than they should have been. Silver con tinued strong on Asatic demand and the history of the week was one of increas- ing excitement. So great was the en- thusiasm that a bad crop report on win ter wheat failed to check the advance.
 The decision in the coal cases was along the line generally expected by well-posted persons in the street. The question of vested rights seems to be settled for gaod and corporations are no longer afraid that the properties that they bought legally and openly will be taken away from them. As a result of the de- cision Lackawanna may have to organ ize a subsidiary company. Western Mary land is organizing a company to pur- chase it's coal at the mines and this has caused a sharp advance in the stock of the railroad. An attempt by a Texas sen ator to make political capital out of the situation by trying to accomplish what the Hepburn law failed to do ended in failure. It Is evident from what hap pened last week that any attempt to force segregation will increase prices of commodities. The public did not realize

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans May S-Spot quiet un- changed; middling, 10 3-16c. Sales on spot, 400 to arrive 600.
 Futures opened quiet and 4eady at an advance of to 1 points. This initial rise was partly due to bullish official cables from Liverpool, partly to very optimistic advices from Manchester and partly to much larger tallings by mills than had three features fully offset better weather accounts from the cotton belt. Thre was little life in the market, however, and at the highest prices were only to points over yesterdays closing. Some little profit taking by longs shaved even this advance down, the market closing steady, with prices at net advance of 1 point to a net decline of 1 point.
 Futures this week, in the net result show but little change from last week. July loses 1 points and the active new crop months stand exactly as they stood week ago today, The slight weakness displayed by July is due to large tenders of cotton in the spot month. In the new crop weather news hasN been q conflict ing influence favorable reports from some portions of the belt being offset by bad reports from other sections. Reports and have been one of the main supports of the market in the face of an indif- ferent spot situation.
 Spots lose 1-16c this week on total sales of the spot of 4300 bales, compared with 1850 last week. Sales to arrive totalled 1925 bales, against 2225 last week
