STATE NEWS
Newsy Items Gathered From
ALI Parts Of the State.

Rockville.-At a meeting of the
directors of the Montgomery County
Agricultural Society here the treas
urer submitted his report of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the recent
annual fair. Although it rained on
two of the principal days, the reports
showed that the expenditures were
only S1,2S7 in excess of the receipts.
Had the weather been good either
Wednesday or Thursday, the fair
would have been a big financial sue
cess. 1t is understood that many of
the premium winners will donate
their winnings, and, as many persons
have expressed a willingness to con-
tribute toward wiping out the deficit,
it is believed it will not be necessary
to borrow money to pay the pre-
miums in full, as had been informal
ly agreed upon

the fine farm of the late Charles Har-
gett, near this city, for about $751;

DEATH CHAIR FOR BEATT.E
Verdict of Murder Returned Against
Wife-S Iayer--To Die in
Char Nov. "a.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va
Twelve Virginia farmers knelt at
dusk Friday night in the obscurity of
the small jury-room of Chesterfield
Courthouse, praying fervently that
they might pass judgment Alright on
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., indicted for
the murder of his wife. Grimly de-
termined they arose a moment later
and silently, one by one, recorded a
unanimous verdict of guilty"
Pausing in solemn contemplation
for 5S minutes, weighing carefully
the meaning of their decision and
once more on bended knees beseech-
ing Divine assistance that they might
not err, they filed into the hushed
stiffness of a crowded courtroom, and
with startling suddenness II voices,
instead of the usual one of the fore
man, spoke the single word guilty"
1t was almost shout.
The spectre of death, which stalk
ed Midlothian turnpike on July lS
last. when the life of Mrs, Louise
Owens Beattie was taken away with
the single report of shotgun, stared
hard at the young husband ready to
claim his victim by electrocution on
Friday, November "a, next. But the
prisoner returned the gaze, unswery-
ing and unafraid.
To Court Of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals, to be sure,
will be asked to grant writ OF error
and a new trial. Young Beattie,
cognizant of the legal weapons yet at
his disposal, did not surrender In

father, white-haired and wrinkled,
and comforted him as he whispered

left the Central Vermont enough land
so that it could have double track
road itself into Brattleboro and all
necessary sidings The only thing the
Central Vermont would really have
lost was its monopoly.
The amended bill went to the SEN
ate. which bv vote of 10 to IL, abso-
lutely refused to give the Boston and
Maine the right to build its own
tracks into Brattl eboro, but offered it
only trackage rights over the Central
Vermont. With the provisions
amended so as to give the Boston
and Maine only these trackagc
rights, the bill was sent back to the
house, which promptly refused to con-
cur and the fight in that form went to
a conference committee composed Of
representative Chaffee of Rutland,
Calderwood of st. Johnsbury and Bah
bitt of Bellows Falls from the house
Dale of Essex and Taplin of Orleans
from the senate.
rne conference committee was in
session all day and was in constant
communication with the officials of
both roads. The Central Vermont alb
solutely declined to agree to anything
that would take away from it the
monopoly it has at Brattleboro and
| the three senate members of the con
ference committee supported the Cen
trail Vermont from start to finish.
Finally as last resort the Boston
and Maine officials and attorneys
offered to build around the Contra
Vermont property from South Vernon
to Brattleboro though it would make il
| necessary to go into rough land anC
| tremendously inc lease the cost. Ever
to do this though it would be nee
essary to take small corner of Cen
! trail Vermont land in order to get int
the Brattleboro yard. This corner Of
land is not and is never likely to be
used for railroad purposes but that
ferees declined to let the Boston anC
Maine into Brattleboro over theil
own iron and the senate sustained
| them in this refusal when the bill re-
turned TO Senate. The house confer
ees reported back to the house what
had been offered and the house &C.
cepted their report.

Former Resident Dead.

James Hawker died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Walter H. May, of
Pittsford Monday morning, after a
short illness. He had lived there since
his return from Arizona a few months
ago. He was born in England "a years
ago and came to this.country when a
child with his parents and settled in
Boston. He later moved to New Hamp-
shire and 33 years ago he came to Mid
dlebury with his family. He is sur
vived by his daughter and one son,
James, of Warren, Ariz.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning at 9:30 and the remains
brought to Middlebury on the noon
train. Services were held at 2 clock
at the Episcopal church by Rev. John
E. Bold and the burial was in the West

Descendants of Thomas Page.

Information is wanted regarding the
descendants of Thomas Page who lived
in Vermont about the year 1870, having
moved here with his children from
Leominster, Mass. 1t is supposed that
some of his descendants are now living
in this locality, possibly by the name of
Wright, Guernsey, Dunn, or some other
name. 1t appears that owing to the
death of other heirs property amount
ing to several million dollars reverts to
this branch of the family and has been
lying dormant in the hands of the trus-
tees and executors for many years past.
1t is thought that Thomas Page lived
until about 1880 and those interested
are trying to trace the time and place
of his death and means of his de-
scendants.
