A MARROW ESCAPE.

Passengers on the regular New York
and Montreal express out OF Rutland
last Thursday afternoon had narrow
escape from serious injury. The train
stopped at Center Rutland much longer
than usual, and while it stood there a
long train of empty hog cars came dash
ing down the grade. The curve is sharp
and neither engineer could see the other
train. Luckily gentleman standing on
the depot platform saw the hog train and
motioned to the engineer of the express
to start up at the same time signalling
the hog train to stop. Both engineers
obeyed, but the mogul drawing the hog
train ran five or six feet into the rear car
of the express. The passengers in that
car has been warned. Several of them
Jumped out of the windows and all got
out of the way of great harm, though
many were more or less bruised. Among
the passengers on the express were Mr.
j. l.. Buttolph and Mr.. and Mrs. A. IL
Fisher of Middlebury and Mr.. F. w
Atwood of Salisbury.

By the spirit and intent of the amend
ment to the constitution and the pur-
pose of Messrs. DonnelIy and Potter in
the session of 1887, the term of the pres
ent legislature expired Sunday night at
II o'clock. Jan. to midnight Sunday
is ninety days, and in the opinion of
very good lawyers ninety legislative
days. The state treasurer has been so
perpleXed over the question that on Sat
urday, when he accepted the last pay
roll, he called upon Attorney General
Clapp to give him an opinion as to
whether or not the legislature could
draw pay after midnight, April Z. 1t ap-
pears that the bill introduced by Mr..
Flynn, early in the session, fixing the
compensation of members, does entitle
the legislature to draw pay to April %.
But the opinion of the house judiciary
committee, that the legislative session
ends April %, has not been received
with favor in its legal aspects. The
opinion was only reached by the unSus-
tanned assertion that the fifteen Sun
days and Washington'S birthday since
Jan. Sth, we're not and cannot be
legislative days. Congress sits on Sun
udy. II Cdll NC dCCOLl pl1SllSu luIUuSl
recess on the preceding Saturday. Yet
the Minnesota legislature establishes
an entirety different rule. There is a
well-grounded feeling prevalent at the
capitol that the sitting of the legiSla-
ture between April and April % is an
arbitrary assumption of the intent and
meaning of the constitution. Further,
said an able attorney, a member of the
house, to the GLOBE yesterday:
Not bill passed by the legislature
between this date and April % will be
free from the faint of unconstitution-
ality. In my opinion the legislature as
a constitutional body passed out of ex-
istence Sunday night. No power can
call it into existence again except the
governor by a call for an extra session.
l look to see costly and worrisome liti-
cation arise over all the laws that may
be enacted from this time on. | have
never changed my opinion that the
term Legislative days includes Sundays
and legal, holidays"

Boston, Mass, April 9.-John L..

has left for Louisiana, where he
proposes to get into trim. He left Bos-

to spar in New York .and Washington

Barnett, his manager, left with his FAM
lily for New Orleans, as he wishes to be
ahead and arrange for his protege'S re-
ception. The latter stated that Sulli-
van of late had given him considerable
Trouble, but he had him looked after, land
even If he should during the ensuing
week desire to renew his late actions it
would still leave him plenty of time to
recuperate. He will train near New
Orleans, and the fight with Kilrain he
could guarantee would come Off. There
would be no more trouble like that eX-
perienced at Ottawa over the stake
holder, but he would give every assur-
ance demanded as to the character and
responsibility of the person whom they
shall! propose and will give bonds
in triple the amount, if wanted. The
fight would come off near the scene of
the historic Ryan fight of Feb. Z, 1882.
From this time forward until the de-
parture for the scene of action, all con-
ferences between the representatives
of the two principals would be held in
the Clipper office. The deposit of
stakes and the selection of a final stake
holder would take place on Canadian
soil. The date of the meeting would
be given Immediately after Sullivan
arrived in New Orleans.

jured were sent to st. Luke's hospital.

CHICAGO, April S.-The politicians of
the city were astonished this afternoon
by the announcement that 1t had been
discovered that the recent election in
this city was illegal, and that it was
within the power of any citizen to over
throw it. This state of affairs grows
out of a decision rendered by the SUI
preme court OF the state since the cleo
ton was held. This decision was to
the effect that the town of Brighton
Park and other portions of the town.
ship of Cicero had been, by vote of the
people on Nov. II, 1887, legally annexed
to the townships of South and West
Chicago. Previous to the annexation,
the townships of South and West Chi
cagO were entirely included within the
limits of the city Of Chicago. While the
decision of the court annexed this new
territory to the townships, it did not
operate to make it part of the city,
the power to extend the limits of hich
rests with the city council. Therein
lies all of the trouble. The general law
of the state provides that wherever all
of the township lies within the limits of
a city, the city election shall be held on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in April, and that wherever the town
ship is not all included within the city
limits, the election shall be held on the
third Tuesday in April. Under the de-
cision of the supreme court, the city of
Chicago does not entirely cover the
townships of South and West Chicago,
and therefore the election, instead of
being held on the first Tuesday in
April. as it was, should have been held
on the third Tuesday. Moreover, the
law requires that twenty days notice of
an election shall be given, and, as the
time is too short between this date and
the third Tuesday in April for legal
notice, it seems questionable whether
the mistake can be reetified by new
election on that date. Wide fields IF
bility of revising the verdict of the peo-
pie in the recent political landslide"
when the Republicans were defeated by
the Democrats by decisive majorities.
1t is claimed that if the present Repub-
lican administration is willing to invoke
the law, it can hold over and prevent
the newly elected Democrats from TAX
ing their seats. 1t is said that Mayor
Roche has consulted the corporation
counsel in regard to the matter, but it
cannot be learned that any decision as
to what action shall be taken has been
reached.
This evening resident of the an
neXed territory applied to Judge jamie
son for an Injunction restraining the
election commissioners from counting
or declaring the votes cast. The ground
taken was that the residents of the an
neXed strip, having no notice of the
election, were deprived of their electoral
rights, vltiating the whole election.
The applicant was armed with recon-
mendation from a master in chancery
that the injunction be issued. Judge
Jameson Set the matter for hearing at
9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
