SLAYER OF SISTER.
West Rutland Woman Buries Body
in the Cellar.

Rutland, Aug. 13.-As a result of
evidence unearthed yesterday Mrs. Eu-
gene Mccarthy of West Rutland is at
the House of Correction under arrest
as the self-confessed slayer of her own
sister, Miss Alice Kerrigan, an elderly
spinster, whose body was found buried
in the cellar of her home on Pleasant
street under few inches of earth yes
terday afternoon by the officers. Mrs.
Mccarthy, according to the authorities,
has admitted the murder, and says she
shot her elder sister to death last Fri
day with shot gun, as the woman lay
on the lounge in the living room. She
later dragged the body through the house
to the inside cellar door, and down the
steps to the earth floor, where, unas-
sisted, she dug a hole and buried her
burden, which was undiscovered until
yesterday. The authorities and friends
are at loss to imagine motive for
the deed, but the general opinion of
relatives seems to be that Mrs. Nc
Carthy committed the crime under the
combined influences of nervous rage
and insanity.
All the parties lived together in the
large old Kerrigan home on Pleasant
street, the murdered woman and her
father, Michael Kerrigan, occupying
the lower floor, and the Mccarthy fam
lily, consisting of the imprisoned woman,
her husband and eight children, the
upper floor. The house, while by no
means secluded, is set back short dis
tance from the highway so that the
movements of the occupants are not
easily discerned by passers-by.
The woman under arrest fixes the
time of the Staying as Friday afternoon
while she and her victim were alone in
the house. She says she was enraged
with her sister, and finally went to her
own apartments upstairs and secured a
shotgun, returning through the hall and
firing at Alice Kerrigan from the door
of the living room, as she lay resting,
but not asleep, upon a lounge. The
shot entered the wcman's breast, death
from the injury and shock being almost
instantaneous. At this time their
father was working in the garden.
First assuring herself that no one had
heard the report of the gun Mrs. Nc
Carthy dragged the body down into the
cellar and digging hole barely large

six inches of dirt, and covered the spot
with two tubs.
In her story Mrs. Mccarthy impli-
Gates no other member of the house,
hold and denies, so far as can be
learned, that any other person even
suspected her act. Whether any other
arrest will follow cannot be learned,
but none had been made at late hour

Makes Another Rescue.

The Montpelier Morning Journal of
Wednesday, August l3, has the follow
ing concerning Middlebury boy:
James c. Kenworthy, porter at the
Montpelier Aouse, made another SEN
sational rescue yesterday noon, when a
woman attempted to board train No.
as it was pulling out of the station at
about 1901.
The train had got a good start and
had it not been for the assistance Ken
worthy gave her, the woman probably
would have been thrown under the
wheels as she was hampered by her
skirts and neatly lost her balance. AS
it was she succeeded in boarding the
train safely.

ference at Iowa State College.

many sections the conditions that pre-
vail in England and in Europe. Class
distinctions between landlord and ten

coming, when there will be- nd great
middle class in the rural communities
but the national will consist OF land
lords and peasants. God pity the day
when we have peasantry here In free

Mr.. Adams deplored the rapid move
ment Of the middle aged farmers to the
towns and cities. "As soon as he has
made his competence. the farmer
moves to town and rents his farm. AS
result, he, fights anything that has
to. do with better schools. and better
social advantages for the tenants in

Special to Times-Repub,ican.
Webster City. July 10.-When the
AL q. Barnes animal circus pulled out
of Webster City 1t was short some
twenty "razorbacks." Razorbacks. be
1t known. are circus roustabouts, can
vassmen. stake drivers. hostlers and
the like. The hegira Of razorbacks in
this city was due to local contractors
and nearby farmers on the lookout for
help.
The show had no more than arrived
in Webster City than all sorts Of en-
ployers looking for laborers swooped
down on the razorback herd. The
haying season is on and farm help is
unusually scarce. Likewise the paw
ing and building contractors are scour-
ing the country for men. The average
circus roustabout earns little more
than his board and lodging and SO
when jobs ranging up to 50 per day
we1o offered tho men. they left the
show almost like rats leaving q sink
ing ship.
The circus management was at It's
wits end before the day was over. A
hurry up telegram was sent an en-.
ployment agency in Des Moines and on
the evening passenger train from the
south half dozen men arrived willing
to try "razorbacking" with the cir
Gus. But this small contingent did
not help much and band men. ami

Obliged to buckle in and pull stakes,
