STIRRING SCENES AT CAPITOL.
Great Crowd Clamored for Admission
Last Night.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. l3.-While depu-
ty sergeant-at-arms hurried through
Albany with summonses to compel every
assemblyman In the city to take his
desk on the assembly floor last night
and self-appointed committees met in
coming trains, throng ecdipsing any
that has stormed the capitol in the
memory of the oldest attendant poured
through its stone doorways. Two hours
before the time set for calling the as
sembly to order the first-comers had
taken their stand outside the railing in
the assembly chamber. Hundreds were
standing at 1880 o'clock At eight o'clock
the great doors of the assembmly cham
Der were closed in the face of a grum-
bling crowd in the corridor. The galleries
were packed as seldom before. Hun
dreds of women were among the crowd.
The opening hour found men and
women standing eight deep in the cor
ridor leading to the assembly chamber.
The capitol orderlies, unable to handle
the crowd, were hastily reinforced by a
detachment of uniformed men from
police headquarters. Admission to the
chamber was by card only and hundreds
of persons bearing cards were turned
away. Newspaper men unable to OBJ
tain ingress or egress secured access to
the chamber by a roundabout way
through the burned portion Of the
building
In vivid contrast to the brilliant
lights and activity within the assembly
chamber were the quiet and darkness
within the private Office of Governor
Sulzer. After day spent in consulta-
tion with his counsel and friends the
governor left the executive chamber for
dinner to return to it no more last night.
He and Mrs. Sulzer were in constant
touch, however, with proceedings over
the telephone.

WOMAN is ACCUSED
OF SISTERS MURDER
Body of Miss Alice Kerrigan Found in
Cellar of House in West Rutland
And Mrs. Eugene Mccarthy
Was Arrested.

Rutland, Aug. I3.--Buried in the dirt
floor of the cellar in the house where
she lived with her father, the decompos
ed body Of Miss Alice Kerrigan of West
Rutland, a dressmaker, aged 45 years
was found yesterday afternoon by town
authorities, who had become suspicious
because of unsatisfactory explanations
as to the woman's disappearance last
Friday. Miss Kerrigan's sister, Mrs
Eugene Mccarthy, aged 3S, who with
her husband and eight children occupies
the upper floor of the house, was later
arrested. She soon broke down and
confessed the crime to States Attorney
B. L. Stafford, it is alleged. Shooting
was the method used to nut her sister
out of the way, there being jealousy
because their mother, now deceased
willed the house to Alice. Liquor is at
the bottom of the affair.
The murder which is the second in the
little town in four days, is attracting
widespread attention because of the
prominence of the parties. concerned.
Mary kerrigah was the belle of West
Rutland and her marriage to Eugene
Mccarthy l6 years ago was one of the
biggest social events the town ever
knew. .-,
The sherifT's department says that
both Mrs. Mccarthy and her husband
have been very incorporate of late and
that she has been in trouble because Of
crooked business deals.
Last Thursday Alice Kerrigan drew a
considerable sum of money from Rut-
land bank and it is believed that her sis :
ter attempted to get possession of some
of it, resulting in an argument which
terminated in the shooting. Mrs. Nc
Carthy told the neighbors that Alice had
gone away.
As Alice was not accustomed to be
among strangers because OF great deaf
ness, suspicion finally arose Monday
but not until yesterday was search OF
the premises begun. The attempt made
TO conceal the body was crude and the
officers easily found it. There were evil
dences that an attempt had been made
at first to burn the body. The body was
taken to an undertaker's to await an

fore his arraignment. City Physician
DIR. j. w. Stewart found the man in a
serious condition and advised removing
him to the City hospital. Later in the
forenoon Kennedy was taken to the
hospital to recuperate. He will be ar
raigned as soon as he RECEIVERS.
Bill Speare of Merchant street reaf
firmed his plea Of not guilty to an in
toxication charge at a hearing before
Judge Scott yesterday. Chief of Police
Samuel Sinclair, who made the arrest,
took the stand and testified for the
state The court adjudged the respond
ent guilty and sentenced him TO serve
thirty days in the county Jail at Mont
pelier. w. W. Speare took exceptions to
the verdict and entered an appeal with
the county clerk. Bail in the sum of
$50 was furnished for his appearance at
the September term of court. Before
leaving, Speare was asked to pay an
old fine of s5. suspended when he paid

MULE is OF MORE
VALUE THAN HORSE
If Properly Broken, Animals Ex-
eel Horses for General Farm
Work-EatS Less.

Mules can be worked when three
years old, though they do not reach
their maturity until seven years Of age.
Their temper, health and usefulness
depend very much on the manner OF
breaking them, says a writer In the
Baltimore American. The so-called
stubbornness an obstinacy of the mule
arises chiefly from the abuse he is wont
to receive when young. He seldom, II
ever. bites or kocks those who treat
him kindly.
The mule can do more work and
needs less grain than the horse, he is
less liable to disease and RECEIVERS
from sickness and injury quicker than
a horse. He works better when old
and holds out longer. He seldom
takes fright or runs away. For heavy
hauling and in making up spans select
those of Is to 1512 hands high. Those
of similar dispositions should be chos-
en- and put together, so they will work
together with a will. For working
small crops in the garden, for any
kind of farm work, the mule will be
found much the most economical work
animal to own. One pair of medium
sized mules can be kept on less grain
than a pair of the same sized horses;
they do not need so much grain. Nearly
all our truckers use mules. We have
for number of years used mules ex-
clusively on our farms. For teaming
tho mule is the animal to have
For cultivatiug vegetables in mar
row rows the small mule weighing un-
der 1000 pounds should be chosen
Mules are high in price this season,
a pair of medium sized young broken
mules is worth $3.50 to $500. Small
truck mules may be had for $3.50 per
span.

SPRAY TO PREVENT
BLIGHT OF POTATO
Disease Is Most Destructive in
July and AuguSt-Amount
Required Per Acre.

Early potato blight Is liable to at
tack the potato crop at any time from
June until the crop is ripe, but is
most seriously destructive in July
and August 1t attacks the foliage.
Professor Kohler of the Minnesota
experiment station doubts if it will be
profitable to spray early paintings of
early varieties.
If, however, others desire to do SO
he advises spraying when plants are
small, and continuance Of the treat
ment every ten days until at least
ten per cent of the leaf surface is
dying, when it will be useless to
spray longer. In rainy weather spray
ing should be more frequent. Twenty
five to 80 gallons Of Bordeaux per acre
will be required for the treatment
when the plants are small, and as they
advance in growth the amount will
need increasing to 80, 60 or Is gal
Ions per acre.
Spraying for early blight on late
varieties of the Rural New Yorker
type of potatoes has proved profit
able at the Minnesota station. Spray
ing late varieties of the Rural New
Yorker type may be delayed until the
earliest planting of early varieties in
the locality shows signs of the pres
ence of the disease, when spraying
should be Immediately applied at the
rate of so to. 70 gallons of Bordeaux
per acre followed with spraying Of
an equal amount every ten days in
good weather. In rainy weather spray
more frequently.
