The committee on equalization made a re p o r t w h ich w a s la id over u n d e r th e ru les. T h e com n a ittee on sh e r if f ’s ae- eo a n ts presented a su p p lem e n tary re report. D. G.

Tuesday, the supervisors and over seers of the poor were authorized to contract for medical and surgical at tendance of resident and transient poor of their towns, provided they do nut exceed the amount appropriated fu r th a t purpose. T h e sum § 3 ,0 2 7 .9 4 was appropriated for support of town poor at county house. §2,438.08 was appropriated for support of poor at Hew York State Eunatic Asylum. §308 06 was made payable _to the su pervisor of Russia, that town having paid that sum for support of Mrs. Emily Devoe at county house, she being a county ch arge. The miscel laneous committee made their report which was adopted. Dr. Brown, of Hewport, was paid §14 for surgical attendance upon Daniel Mulverhill, Crowley’s victim. IrYednesday nothing special was done, except committee work. Thursday, the special committee ap pointed to ascertain concerning the bills of G. H. Gray and Caswell & Fisbe recommended that the bill of G. H. Gray be allowed at §58.69, and that of Caswell & Fiske at §35.25. T h e y fu r t h e r report that the balance of Caswell & Fiske’s bill is clearly chargeable to the town of Herkimer, and that it be added to the schedule of that town a n d an order draw n on the supervisor of that town for §21.66. The report was adopted. On recom mendation of the committee of asy lums and reformatories, the bill of M. Conklin of §29.25, which had hereto fore been rejected, was reconsidered and allowed; Additions were made to town schedules, on recommenda tion of the special committee appoint ed for that purpose, as follows: Co lumbia, §20.13 ; Danube, §2.623.75 ; Fairfield, §66.36; Frankfort, §1,064.- 98; German Flatts, §736.96.; Herki mer, §995.15; Litchfield, §87.39; Lit tle Falls, §6,803.57 ; Manheim, §2,- 699.55; Newport, §15.80; Norway, §107.77; Ohio, 1511.61'; Salisbury, §496.62; Schuyler, §131.47; Stark, §359 34; Warren, §114.43 ; Wilmurt, 83,193.41. Addition to schedules of Russia and Winfield had previously been made by resolution. A commit tee, consisting of Messrs. Sharer, Cook and Matthews, were appointed to con sult with the court and district attor ney in regard to continuing a term to try cases of prisoners now in county jail, which is crowded. Judge Mer- win informed the committee it would be impossible for him to prolong the term a fter this week. The same com mittee was appointed to see Judge Hardin and aseertaifi if he would not come and continue the term. He re ported that it would be impossible for him to do so. Friday, the judiciary committee re ported that the expense of maintain ing Kate Post at the county house was chargeable to the town of Salis bury. The special committee to'visit county house reported they found the inhabitants thereof as comfortable and v;ell eared for as the state of the ac commodations would admit; that they recommended better accommoda tions be provided, particularly for the insane, and they renew the suggestion made by a similar committee last year, that necessary outbuildings be repaired so as to conform with the re quirements of decency. W. W. Mo- iiher, from the committee appointed last year to make a new register of the county house, presented one, which was filed, A resolution was adopted tendering the nse of tlie court house free of expense to the school commis sioners of this county for the purpose of holding teachers’ institutes. The Buperiotendent of poor was instructed to submit the names and date of en tran c e a n d d isch a r g e all persons receiv e d at th e c o u n t y h o u s e , and where the ex|^nse of maintenance is chargeable, with his annual'report. The miscellaneous committee having made a mistake in auditing the bill i cf district attorney Dudleston a t §24.-j 82 instead of §53.28, it was ordered that he be paid the further sum of §30.41. The inspector of county house was authorized to receive sealed proposals for furnishing wood for the use of that institution the coming year, after due notice of the time for receiving same, and to contract for the Saturday, the board completed its labors. The county treasurer was au thorized to extend the time foi; the collection of taxes until April 1,1878, in such towns as are unable to collect the same in the time allowed by coi* lectors’ warrants. The supervisor of Wilmurt was authorized to cause a survey of the non-resident lands of that town. This survey is made in compliance with the recommendation of the State Comptroller, A resolu tion was adopted directing overseers of the poor in each town to advertise for sealed proposals for lodging .and feeding transient poor, and to contract with the lowest bidder, providing®bis terms do not exceed sixty cents for sapper, lodging and breakfast, or twenty cents for each meal and lodg ing. The subject “of the bill of the Chauncey Johnson estate for court house fence, and of the mandamus granted in regard to it, was taken up and a motion made that §700 be voted to pay the same, and an order for that amount be drawn, payable February 1, 1879, without interest. The mo tion was lost by a vote of nine to ten. A motion was then adopted that the chairman employ counsel to defend the county on the return day of the mandamus. The chairman employed Smith & McMurray, The clerk was ordered to draw an order in favor of himself for §150, the amount of his salary. A motion was adopted add ing to the budget the sum of §175, for the centennial celebration. The coun ty treasurer was authorized in case of deficieney to borrow such sums as may be necessary to meet court expenses. The assessment rolls of the respective towns were approved. The bill of the Chauncey Johnson estate was again brought up. After much filibustering and five resolutions to adjourn, a mo tion was adopted to adjourn one hour for dinner. In the afternoon a motion was made to allow the bill at §600, payable February 1,1879. This resb- lutioa was adopted by the following vote: Ayes—^^Messrs. Endlong, Cros by, Clough, Small, DuBois, Moon, Wood, Wilkinson and Morgan—9. Noes—Messrs. Van Alstine, Gronk- hite, Mosher, Matthews, Timmerman, Sherman, Fisher and Ellsworth—8. Messrs, Cook and Sharer had before the final vote paired off and gone home. Besolutions of thanks to W. W. Mosher, chairman, for the able* dignified and impartial manner his duties were discharged; to E. D. Browne, clerk, and Under Sheriff Paine, were adopted, and the Board adjourned sine die. P E A N K F O R T A O d llT . Hardly had the shock caused by Eugene Widrick’a confession passed over the village of Frankfort and the turmoil and excitement brought about by the development of minor crimes, subsided, when again they “are arous ed by the arrest of Conrad P. Folts, for arson iu causing a dwelling owned by him to be fired, while the family oc cupying it were from home. He was indicted at the last term of Court upon the evidence of Eugene Biridenbecker, who stated before the grand jury that he was induced by Folts to burn the dwelling; that he went to the house when he and Folts knew the family that were occupying it were absent; that he p r o c u r e d a quantity o f k e r o sene oil, and about 11 o’clock at night he went to the house, entered through a cellar window, went up stairs, satu rated the floors, ceiling and articles about the building, opened the doors and windows, and when all was ready set fire to the saturated parts and ran to the woods near by and looked on and saw it burn to the ground. When it was all destroyed he came back to the village, crossing the canal about a mile west of the village, threw the oil can into the canal, then came to Hoard’s Mill, put some stones in the bag in which he carried the can and threw it into the river. The house was insured for its full value, which amount was nearly all paid soon after to Mr. Folts. Mr. Folts has always Stood high in the estimation of his fel low citizens, and his arrest Monday night for this offense was a great sur prise. What could induce him now in his declining years to commit such an act can not be conjectured. The paltry sum received from the iosurance company surely ought to offer no in d u c e m e n t for su c h a crim e . T H E C O U R T B O U S E F E N C E . The Supervisors, in voting to pay §600 for the fence around the Court House, did an unwise thing. In vot ing to have an order drawn upon the County Treasurer payable February 1st, 1879, for the amount, they did what the future board are not bound to stand by. If the truth is known the future Board of Supervisors are not bound by the actions of the past, a n d th e p a s t b o a r d c a n n o t a u d i t claims to be placed on the sched ule of the future board. To pay this amount of money for such a fence is an outrage, especially when it was not ordered by anybody. Mr. Eaton has the same kind of a fence around his premises adjoining the Court House, and last year when the ques tion came up in the board, it was ask ed of Mr. Eaton if he did not order the fence, and he said that he did not. Mr. Chauncey Johnson, deceased, then did not tell the Supervisors that Mr. Eaton advised him to put it up and he would see that he got his pay for it. The board then looked at it in this light, that if no one ordered the fence, no one was responsible for the payment of it, and they disallowed the claim. This year the original bill was presented with the affidavit of James Johnson, administrator, that Volney Eaton ordered the fence the same time he ordered his own. Then S. S. Morgan, counsel for the plain tiff, served a mandamus on the board, which set them all trembling in their boots, for fear they would make the County double the expense by a law suit, and on Mr. Johnson’s terms as stated above, they settled. Now, First. It is evident that the County is not responsible for the payment of the fence. Second, Ths,t to defend it, even if it come to trial, would not cost the County over §150, and Third. It is establishing a bad pre cedent when any one ca n ru n the County §700 or a §l,O00 in debt and then scare the Supervisors into paying the same by serving a mandamus on that legislative body. Then why should the future board pay the or der. We earnestly hope' that they will refuse to pay it, and see how ex- travagant one man has been in his purchases, and how, for the past few years, he has increased the taxes of the County. The farmers feel that such precedents as this once established will cost the County hundreds of thousands o f dollars before they are During the conversation between them the Otsego man inquired ab o u t Cra mer, his ability, &e. The Herkimer County gentleman said that Cramer was a good man to work, but that he was not honest. On going back to a going bacs to Otsego County this man discharged Cramer, and he was thus thrown out of work for the season. Since the recent developments made at Frankfort, it has been shown that the theft alluded to was committed by Bargy, Widrick and Smith, and that Cramer is an innocent iman... Th® owner of the Schuyler factory sincere ly regrets that he suspected Cramer when he was entirely innocent, and that be reported his suspicions, not only to the Otsego County man, but to others. He is willing to refund to Cramer the amount deducted from bis wages, but to such a settlement Cra m e r does not propose to accede, as he feels that he should be paid for a full season’s w o r k , o u t o f w h ich he w a s thrown. It is hardly probable the case will get into the courts.— Utica Observer. HOLIDAY O-OODS A T W 3C T H 3 E K , S - a D I 3NT j a ’ I A T BO T T O M P R I C E S . Call and make your selections.

The trial of Patrick Crowley for the murder of Daniel Mulverhill was continued last week until Friday morning, when the case went to the jury without losing any of the interest which was manifested at the outset. Wednesday and Thursday a large crowd of people filled the halls and stairs which could not gain admission. The evidence was substantially the same as giy in on the former trial and as published in the D e m o c r a t , with the exception of that of Mrs. Cantwell, who testified on the trial that she caught hold of the coat of Crowley as he pass’ ed from the house to the road. The summing up Thursday afternoon by Mr. Mills and Mr. Morgan was listened to with great interest. The Judge charged the jury Friday morning, which retired a little before ten and returned with their verdict, “ murder in the second degree,” at 12:20. On their first ballot they stood 5 for mur der in the first degree, 6 for murder iu the second degree, and 1 for man slaughter in the 2d degree. As there was a reasonable doubt as to the de liberation and premeditation, the ver dict seems to give general satisfaction, especially to all fair minded persons. Crowley received his sentence with considerable feeling and when he was taken back to the jail be manifested it more than ever. He distributed little pictures and trinkets among his fellow unfortunates, and in prepar ing to go to Auburn he said that he should behave himself and try to ob tain the mercy of the Governor at some future time. He* was taken to Auburn by 'Deputy Sheriff Helmer. The court of appeals will take recess from December 21st to about the middle of January, for the pur pose of making a new calendar for 1878.

It appears that daring the year 1876 a man named., Cramer was em ployed by a gentlei|Mi«r who owns a butter factory in the town o f Schuyler, H e r k im e r C o n n ty. During that sea son two jars of butter were stolen from the factory, and Cramer was suspected of having com m itted t h e theft. When the season was ended, and the employ er *and employe came to make a set tlement, the value o f the sto len good s w a s d e d u c ted from the a m o u n t due him. Cramer asserted his innocence, and felt hurt at bemg suspected oi crime—a crime with which he said he had nothing to do. Last spring he seenred a situation in a cheese or butter factory in Otsego County, at a salary of §40 per month^ When he had been employed there butut a few weeks,eeks, one ofx theUe propriet(oprietors o a tew w one o t pr of the Otsego County concern chanced through with it, and they are righ& [to meet Cramer’s former employer.
