In and About the state House.



THE house has very wisely declined to reduce
Its pay. No one thinks that three dollars day
Is too much
RUTLAND will not be made a city without OPP
position. Governor Proctor leads the ants, who
are composed Of 800 Of the voters Of Rutland who
live outside the limits Of the village.
As was predicted in this paper some days ago,
the house committee on elections have made re-
port unseating Mr.. Grover, the returned member
from Wells, and giving the place to Mr. spauld-
ing his contestant.
PROJECTS for recesses Of the legislature Of more
or less length abound, but the most popular plan
seems to be to adjourn from next Friday after
noon until Tuesday, the Goth instant, and reso-
luton to that end was introduced yesterday.
ACCORDING to the Legislative Manual just Is
sued, the Oldest person connected with the egis-
lature is Dennis May, representative of Water
ford, who was born in 1907, while the youngest is
Earle S Kinsey, messenger, from Burlington,
born In 1869
MONDAY was very busy day in the house
More real business and less "talkee-talkee" were
done than in any day of the session. Speaker
Martin makes the wheels OF legislation move
with unrivaled rapdty, and under his active
supervision things did seem to "hum " all day.
BILL was introduced by Senator Henry in
the senate, and by Colonel Hooker In the house,
Wednesday, committing the sentence Of Edwin c.
HAYDEN from hanging TO imprisonment for life
The Hon Henry Ballard of burlington and Gilbert
A. Davis. ESQ. of Windsor are Uavden's counsel
