ALBANY, March IL, 1910
Currency Bui-Darid Frost non-suitcd-he Coz
ernor and the General Bankrupt Lac-C onstitu-
tionality Of the Free Banking Lap, &C. &c.
The project Of requiring all the banks in the state
to receive each others notes at par payment for
discounted paper, appears to be received with con-
siderable favor in the Assembly; and there is some
probability that it will be carried through. The
discussion on the Currency Bill is still prolonged
and the propensity to talk upon it grows on what it
feeds.
The last scene in the fifth act of the drama in
which David Frost is the principal character, was
performed in the Senate today. The matter came
up in Committee of the Whole, and number of ad
ditional aihdavits were read, but all in vain. pro-
position was made to print the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to refer the matter to select committee. But on
molten of Col Young, the whole concern was indie
fntely postponed This is, of course, a virtual re-
lection Of the application for a divorce.
Iirtend to have motion for reconsideration made
tomorrow, with a view to refer the subject to the
editor Of the Courier and Enquirer. He decided
some time since, that there question about
the propriety of granting the divorce, and directed
the Legislature to pass the bill without further hes
tation or delay.
The Governor sent an admirable message TO the
Legislature today, communicating the proceedings
of a meeting of the citizens of the city of N York
on the subject of Bankrupt Law. The Governors
own views on this important subject, accord with
those that have been repeatedly expressed in your
paper, and they conveyed in the most forciblc
ond appropriate language.
The Governor has again made change in the
Water Commits sioners. Samuel Stevens is to be
one. The no niaations were to have been confirmed
this afternoon.
Today was assigned for settling the question as to
the constitutionality Of the General Banking Law,
by the Court Of Errors. The Court Of Errors was
opened, but some of the Senator's had not prepared
their opinions and the matter is deferred until the
first Tuesday in April The Chancellor urged the
necessity of early action in the premises. He said
if the constitutonality of the law affirmed, as
he had no doubt itwoud be, it was desirable to have
the decision made Is possible. because
amendments would be required, in order to prevent
| the numerous frauds that were practced under it..
Repeated applications had been made to this court
| to redress and punish these frauds, particularly
from the city of New York; and he thought il all
important that the law should be brought before the
legislature at the present session.

Coroner's Once.

An inquest held at the house Of Margaret Love-
land, No. 23j Houston street. on the body Of Susan
Skaats, very lovely and pious lady, aged Is. II
appeared that the deceased was a scmpstress, and a
member Of the Methodist Persuasion; that she was
very great patronizer of revivas, and never miss
ed attending prayer meetings, love fcasts ct cete
Some months back she complained Of being unwell,
and she attended at various times by DR. Jack
son. About there weeks since she was again taken
ILL., and treated at her wish for inflammation of the
bowels. On Tuesday night she died, and at the re-
quest Of her female friends the Coroner sent for
who directed post norton examination. Dr.'s
Griscam; Ellis, Halsey, and Murthy, made the ne
cessary investigation; when II turned out that the
deceased hlj died from the effects Of premature
delivery. The jury thercupon found a verdict in
accordance with the opinion Of the doctors but what
had become of the pous young ladys little un still
remains mystery.
