fist Church and Sunday school, and his

boro. A double funeral. the first in the
history of that little village, back from
the more travelled th%oroughfares of the
State, will be held at the farm home to-
morrow afternoon.
The officiating clergyman will be the
Rev. II. |. Kemp whose anxiety over the
non-appearance of Mr.. Nichols at the
church services Thursday night led to
his discovery of the body of the muir
dered mar Friday afternoon.
The services in the little church to-day
were marked by a touching reference on
the part of the pastor to the tragedy,
in which he spoke of the life, character
and strength of mind of the young man
and dep1ored the rumors that at first had
been given credencc when the where
abouts of the young wife was unknown.
The bodies of Mrs. Nichols and Erving
Wrisley were found yesterday morning
in the woods near the house.
According to the woman's mother, Wris.

FRANCE BITTER As
It PRAISES CANAL
De Lesseps Would Have Dug
Ditch but for Mosquitoes.
Politics and Speculation.

Paris. oct. l3,-The admiration with
which NE French have viewed the COM
pletion of the Panama canal has not
been entirely free from bitterness.
Senator Berenger, in the Republicans
Franchise, attributes the failure of this
country to end what De Lesseps con-
ceived to French political shortcomings
The Paris Midie, on the other hand,
ascribes il to two evils: Bourse specula-
lions and to the existence on the isthmus
of the now extinct mosquito.
II fnds comfort in the fact that the
canal was planned by a French engineer,
was dug, built and dredged by French
machinery and was made possible by a
French savant, who discovered the
means of eliminating the danger from
the mos~quito-infested waters which mad
crippled and demoralized the origlnaI
canal laborers.

a witness for the man who is charged
with being the invader of their home,
Mrs. Emma Baird of Chittenden. aged So,
mother of two boys, said that she still
loved her husband dearly In spite OF
the charges of iniidclity he had made
against her. Mrs. Baird was called as a
witness for the defense in the alienation
of affections suit of Carl Baird VS.. Fred
Stratton, a bachelor, in which damages

that Stratton went to their house &c
board on the invitation of her husband
with whom the defendant was on the
hest of terms for some years. Mrs
Baird appeared in court heavily yelled
in black, She kept her composure vel
under a severe fire of questions.
As result of the allegations made abou,
Carl Baird fog Islander.
Stratton was cross-eXamined to-day
He, too. denied the charges of mis-
conduct. He said that he had. aftel
suit was brought, made suggestions tC
Baird for a settlement of the alienation
suit but that counsel advised him no
to settle as that would be an admission
of guilt. Five hundred dollars was tn,
sun named. Stratton first heard of tn,
alienation suit when Mrs. Baird and
woman friend drove 10 miles to a plac,
where he was working and told him h,

The official added: Discrimination in
favor of American vessels will not NEAR

come. l do not think American ship

to be risky speculations.
Meanwhile. however, the discrimina-
ton will fret French sentiment and may

goods which the terms Of the new tariff
law will prevent our selling without loss

In answer to an inquiry an informant
who begged not to be named, said that
the French government paid the Com.

nual subsidy varying from two to seven
million francs, according to the prosper,
ity, on the reserve of that line, hut this
was merely in return for its conducting a

He added that not long ago France had
had to protest against local harbor tolls
in England, which were harmful to
French shipping intereSts, and mentioned
that Spain had for two years tried ths
system now projected in America and
had abandoned 1t as Improbable.

FIND WOMAN's BODY FIRST.

a searching party of neighbors, in COM
pany with Deputy Sheriff George p. Mil
Ter of West Guilford, first found the BODY
of Mrs. Nichols. The right side Of her
head was blown off. Her body lay In a
small orchard in a secluded spot about
300 rods from the Nichols home.
The body had evidently been dragged
about seven rods from the spot where she
was shot, where there was a large
amount of blood and parts of her skull,
Three side combs were found near the
spot where the blood was found. Her
apron was over her face.
The party then started a search in the
adjoining pasture for Wrisley. They had
not gone more than 70 rods from the or
chard when G. J. Mortified of Guilfoid
discovered a double-barrel shotgun tied ~
a small maple tree near a large rock.
Wrlsley's body was lying in a holl, Y
near the tree, with indications that ne
had tied the trigger Of the gun to the tree
and then pulled the barrel OF the gun to.
ward him, so as to discharge it. Th7
charge had entered near the heart.

lectmen of Halifax, took charge IF both
, bodies. States Attorney A. V. u. Piper
who had prepared to hold an inquest
dropped further Investigation on account
of its being perfectly apparent who muir
dered Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols.
MOTIVE CAN ONLY BE GUESSED.
The motive which prompted Wrisley to
commit the ghastly crime, which his
own suicide admits, is a matter of spec
u~lation. 1t is generally rumored in the
community that he became infatuated
with Mrs. Nichol and in many WAYS en-
deavored to win her favor, but that she
did not care very much for him. One
of the neighbors thinks there was SOM
trouble last Wednesday between Nichols
being found ransacked when Mr.. and
Mrs. Nichols returned from a visit.
1t is claimed hat Wrisley had a ba6
disposition after he had been drinking
and that he drank heavily. The Green,
field, Mass, police say Wrisley had beer
sentenced there a numt>ar OF times fol
drunkenness.
1t is thought that Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols
and Wrisley went to pick apples as the
team was found hitched there, where +
had been since Thursday noon. 1t was
also found that a part of a barrel OF
greetings had been picked.
The mystery is what started thu
trouble which resulted in Wrisley's
chasing Nichols toward the home and
away from where Mrs. Nichols was
found.
