John Corliss Had Fallen After Sustain.
ing Stroke Of Apoplexy.

Chelsea, Nov. About five o'clock
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. L. D. Barnes
attention was called to an unusual noise
as she had occasion to step to door
She called the attention of Eugene Dens-
more to the matter, and he summoned
A. d. Hancock and G. II. Corliss, who
commenced an investigation. They soon
discovered that the noise was coming
from the barn in the rear Of the Corwin
store, where John Corliss, the veteran
mail carrier on route No. /, kept his
horses. Entering the barn and going to
the hay loft, they found Mr. Corliss
had fallen into the hay spout In one of
the managers and was unable to extri.
cate himself and was unconscious He
was taken Immediately to- his room at
the hotel, and his physician was called.
II was found that he had suffered a
stroke of apoplexy aud that his eondi-
tion was very critical He had returned
from his daily trip over his route about
half an hour before he was found in the
manger, and it seems probable that he
went up to the hay loft after putting
up his horse, to feed the animals, when
he was stricken. When found he had
his fur coat on. Up to this time he
has not regained his full senses. He is
being cared for by his son, Clarence II.

WOMAN CONVICTED
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Mrs. Frank c. Averill Shot Her Husband
in St. Adams on October 20 Last.
She Claimed It Was an
Accident.

st. Albans. Nov. lT.-Guilty of man.
slaughter was the verdict which was
returned against Mrs Frank G. Averill
in Franklin county court late yester-
day for shooting her husband 40 their
home in the Tullar district here on the
night of October 90 Averill died on
the 22d, and Mrs. Averill was arrested
that day, indicted by a special grand
jury and in two weeks placed on trial.
The shot passed through bedroom door,
hitting Averill in the upper part of the
body. The defense tried to show that
it was an accident and that Mrs. Averill
was hitting the door with the muzzle
OF the gun to make her husband open
the door.
The Jury arrived at a verdict at 4;l5
o'clock, about four hours after the case
had been given into its hands. Mrs
Averill was brought into the courtroom
to hear the verdict. When the word
manslaughter was pronounced, it seemed
to have no effect on the woman, but aft
erwards, when Sheriff Holmes was lead.
ing her out OF the court, the woman
broke into tears and, sobbing violently,
cried; "My baby, my baby, my baby"
There were only few people in the
courtroom at the time, as it had not
been expected that verdict would be
reached so soon.
Mrs. Averills testimony on the stand
differed materially from her statements
on the night of the shooting. Then
she stated that the shooting occurred
IN a field near the house II was tes-
titled that Mrs. Averill placed the ex-
ploded cartridge in the kitchen stove,
and that she tried to destroy all evil
denoe of the shooting, but this she de-
MED.
A witness for the state testified that,
in his opinion, such gun could not be
discharged unless the person had a
finger on the trigger.
Mrs Averil became acquainted with
Mr.. Averill in Cambridge, Mass. They
were married in Worcester. Averill was
a travelling man.

And the House Of Lords
Faces Liberals UItimatum
MAY BE GENERAL ELECTION
Efforts to Secure Compromise Failed,
The House of Lords May Avert the
Crisis by Limiting Their
Own Powers.

xondon, Nov liking Georges per-
sonal effort to avert the English crisis
failed to-day and the house of lords
faces the liberals ultimatum that unless
it consents to pass the bill limiting the
lords veto power by November %, the
liberals will force general election.
The king deems the crisis menace to
the governmental foundation of England.
Conferences were held yesterday, in
which it was hoped that compromise
might be effected, but Premier Asquith
refused. II is possible that the house
of lords will avert the crisis volun-
tarily by limiting their powers.
King George arrived in London from
Sandringham yesterday and received
Premier Asquith soon after reaching the
palace.
The extreme liberal papers hint that
King George has taken sides with the
house of lords The Daily News says
that the resignation Of the cabinet would
mean that monarchial revolution had
heen added to the revolution of the
peers,
King George summoned the priyy
council to meet, presumably for the
purpose Of obtaining the advice Of the
priyy coneillors regarding his course in
the matter of giving Premier Asquith
guarantees to increase the number of
peers sufficient to support the govern
ment in its policy Of reforming the
house of lords. This summons brought
together the leaders Of both parties.

THE ENGINE ON THE FARM.
Every Minute Saved by 1t Means Dollars
in the Pocket.

Last year, on farm of seven hundred
and sixty acres, ! kept regularly three
work horses, hiring extra horses when
haying and threshing. This year, with
q thousand acres to farm, l expect to
keep only four horses all the year and
expect to need fewer extra horses during
the rush season, using the engine more
at this work than before
This reduction in the number of men
and horses required on the farm is not
the only valuable feature in an engine
In almost the entire United States and
all over Canada there are certain months
OF the year when little or no work is
done in the fields The horses stand idle
in the barn, eating regularly three times
day. The only return their owner gets
from the feed they eat Is the manure
they make. In fact, the horse nowhere
near pays for his keep during these
months. The same feed given to cattle,
sheep or hogs would give just as great
value in manure and would also give an
income in the form of milk, wool and
flesh The engine has consumed nothing
and so costs nothing during these
months.
The heaviest, hardest and most impor-
tant work Of the year comes in the
spring, Immediately following a spell
of idleness. The horses have not been
doing enough to keep them in good work
ing condition. They cannot be rushed
much when the weather permits one to
work. The engine is in just as good
condition at the end Of the idle spell as
il was at the beginning. And here is
where / get one Of the greatest benefits
from my engine When the seeding sea
son does finally get good, / divide my
men into two shifts, and we work the
engine day and night. We get our small
grain an in within a few days when the
conditions are the best and my chances
are that much better for a uniformly
good crop. It looks mighty good to me
to see that old engine pounding away
from seven in the morning until six at
night and then from seven at night until
six in the morning. when every minute
saved means dollars in the docket

The boy, who was neatly dressed in

away to wait on customer and left
his desk open and incidentally one Of

roll Of $50 in bills of various denomina-
tions. A few minutes later the pro-
pIietor turned to find the money gone
