Verueat Able 10 Sustain 200, 900
People,

Tho emigration from Vermont to the
West is gradually to decrease. The state
has within itself all the material conditions
OF prooperity. 1t is land of hills and
valleys, Of springs and streams. 1t has a
fertile soil and a climate that insures good
crops. With the advance of science bet
ter methods Of tilling the soil are introduced,
anj, notwithstanding the western competi-
ton, the most intelligent farmers are max
ing their farms more productive aud dem
ostrating the fact that farming pays in
Vermont as surely as it does in the West.
In her mountains and beneath her soil she
has exhaustless quarries of slate, lime. mar
Die, granite, serpentine and soap stone
which hardly yet have begun to be worked.
Wealth is stored up in her soil and stones
which only awaits the hand of enterprise
and patient labor to yield steady and sure
retrrn. Vermont, through her agricultur-
al products and the revenues that may he
derived from working her quarries and
giving Employment 10 her water power, is
aule to sustain a population of 900, 900
inhabitants, aud she is likely some day to
haze that Vermont Chronicle.

grew little darker, and he interrupted
her to ask If it had been necessary to chas-

looked astonished at the question Gazing
intently at the court she inquired
''Jedge, was you eber de father of a

No, no, " said the judge, hastily.

JUDGE BooKsTAvER ACQUITTED.
The New York Assembly Approves Of the
Majority Report.

ALBANY, n. u, May LIN the assembly
Mr. SaNton's amended ballot reform bill
came mp as the special order. Mr. Sheehan
said this was a compromise bill accepted
by both parties. With its enactment, TO.
gether with general registration bill, the
day Of corruption at the polls would be
over The bill was ordered to third read
ing and at once passed.
Messrs. Bridges and Deyo were excused
from voting at their own request
The general registration bin then came
up Mr.. Andrus proposed that the bin be
recommitted for amendment so that four
meetings OF inspectors Of registration shall
be held, the third thirty days before elee-
tion, and at the last meeting only those
who have in the meantime become citizens
shall be registered. The bill was recon-
mitted by party vote.
The governor sent in a veto Of the Town
send bill amending the act incorporating
the Citizens Loan Agency and Guarantee
company. The veto says: Whatever is
the object Of the bill. the result OF its en-
actment would be virtually the incorpora-
ton Of trust company with much wider
powers than are given to such companies
organized under general laws
Mr. Green moved the adoption OF the
majority report Of the judiciary committee
exonerating Judge Bookstaver from any
completely in the Flack divorce case. Mr..
Acker moved TO substitute the minority
report recommending impeachment. Mr..
Henderson, a member of the committee.
spoke for the majority report He told at
length the story Of the case. Judge Book
staver had refused TO sign the decree when
Mr. Mcneil, Flack's lawyer, appeared for
Mrs. flack. This was not the act of a cor
rupt judge or of aconspirator, and this fact
fully eXonerated him from the charge OF
guilty knowledge.
The fact that Judge Bookstayer signed
the papers five days later, when the time
had not really interviewed for serving the
summonses, etc, was owing TO the judges
condition of mind from having lost a son
under the most melancholy circumstances.
The lawyers in the case were then supposed
to be perfectly honest and reputable, and
he took the words of these men just as any
other man would He was careless, but
certainly had no bad motive 1t would be
unjust to subject to an impeachment trial a
judge who has hitherto borne an unblem-
ished reputation.
Mr.. Aeker chairman of the committee,
spoke for the minority report. He read
opinions delivered as to what impeachable
oifenses are. The evidence, he said, shows
that Bookstayer's conduct degrades the
judiciary in the public esteem and impairs
the respect and confidence Of suitors and
such conduct has been declared impeacha-
Bile Mr. Acker condemned and Mr..
Towne defended Judge Bookstaver's con.
duct, Mr. ]. 5. johnson favored the mi
nority report, and Mr.. Whipple the major
ity report After further debate the mo.
tion to substitute the minority report was
lost-4T to 70. The majority report for ac
quittal was then adopted.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The Bank Of
America, state bank, has closed its doors.
Beyond the simple announcement, This
bank has temporarily suspended, " the Off
GERS of the institution have made no pub

called at once and they are now going over
the books.
William NJ Smith, president Of the com
mon council, has been appointed receiver

tion and the American Life Insurance com
pany
These rumors are denied by officials of
those institutions. The capital Of the Bank

president and J. s. DUNCAN cashier. James
J. McFarlane was vice president until a
