The stockholders of the ST. Johns
bury & Lake Champlain railroad
company held meeting at the St.
Johnsbury house on Tuesday to take
action regarding a reissue of bonds.
1t was voted, by a representation OF
more than two-thirds of the stock
to authorize the directors to call in
all existing obligations and to issue
new four per cent mortgage bonds to
the extent of 50, 100000.
The bonds of the Canada & Shell
don Junction road. which were held
by Receiver Hendee of the defunct
Vermont National bank at St. AL
bans, have been auctioned off.
The St. Adams Messenger says: THE
bonds were issued in 1872 and 1882,
running 80 years. The latter edition
of bonds will be due in 1912 They
are Endorsed by the St. Johnsbury
and Lake Champlain, Montreal,
Portland and Boston and Southeast
ern railways. The St. Johnsbury
and Lake Champlain railroad offered
Receiver Hendee $4,000 to be re-
leased from their endorsement of the
bonds. The offer was accepted and
the remaining endorsers are held
liable if the courts so decide" The
successful bidder was Treasurer
Branch of the Peoples Trust com
pany at St. Adams, who got the
bonds for $1O75.
VIM. F. Berry has been elected
general traffic manager of the Bos-
ton & Maine road. Mr.. Berry has
been with this road for consecutive
years, and for three years past had
been general freight agent. The
office to which he has just been elect
ed is a newly-created one.

SUMMER BOARDERS.

Slowly but surely our town is
coming to be quite summer resort
for city people and each season
brings more of them. Applica tons
for board are coming in through the
work the Board of Trade is doing,
as well as through private channels.
The writer knows of a man who
came here last summer on a business
trip and was so pleased with the
town that he will bring his whole
family here this summer We also
know of another man who spent a
couple of days here in the spring and
before he left town engaged rooms
for his family for portion of the
summer Neither of these gentle
men had ever visited St. Johnsbury
before, but both made up their minds
that this was the place to spend the
summer in

A PROHIBITION GROUND Up"

1t occurred at Montpelier last
week, when all the convicted liquor
dealers, and other violators of the
law in that section, were arrayed
before Judge Thompson, and each re-
ceived his dose of legal medicine.
TWENTY-FIVE sellers of the ardent
were fined to the amount of S577O
and costs, and besides this not a. few
sentences were imposed, ranging from
80 days to - months at Rutland.
Judge Thompson is quoted as saying,
in substance, that he would stay at
Montpelier and finish up those rum
cases if it took him all summer-and
he seems to have been as good as his
word A pretty telling blow has
been struck at a traffic for which the
capital of the state has been especial
lv noted for the past few years.
Whether, in spite of this rigid adj
ministra ton of justice, the liquor
interests of that section will speedily
recover and resume the nefarlOus
business, remains to be seen; but 1t
would seem as though the lesson
taught at this long-drawn-out term
of court might be beneficial to that
community as well as all other Yer
mont localities similarly afflicted.
There is law enough-when it is en-
forced.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

Quite ripple has been occasioned
by the passage of the Chinese exclu-
sion act, and there are murmurs of
retaliatory measures involving the
return of all the Chinese now here to
their native country and the building
of another Chinese wall' which
shall shut out American people and
commerce from that empire. The
bill which has just received the presi-
dents signature is one that IRE
enacts the present law, and adds
three sections of the Geary bill.
One of these requires every Chi
nese laborer in the United States at
this date to be registered. Within a
wear a certificate of residence must
be got from the collector of internal
revenue in the district in which the
applicant lives. A Chinese laborer
found after the lapse of a year from
the enactment of this law without
such certificate will be subject to de-
portation. Another of the new sec
lions virtually denies the right of
habeas corpus to Chinese suspects
Chinese seeking to land in the United
States. The third section imposes
a fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment for
not more than FIVE years as the pen
atty for forging, altering or substi-
tuting certificate OF residence"
The bill is entirely political meas
ure, brought up at this time to make
votes on the Pacific slope, and few
dared oppose it. Senator Sherman,
however, made a strong speech
against it, entreating the senate ito
observe the obligations of a treaty
which the other side has kept and
still keeps. though we have already
pressed hard upon it.

COAL GOING UP.

An effect of the recent great COM
bine on the part of the Reading rail
road, whereby it obtains control of
the entire output of coal at the
mouth of the mines, is already
being felt in an increase in the price
of that desirable commodity, and it
is predicted that, unless something
happens to break the trust. coal will
rise in price every month of the year
until December. This will not be
pleasing news to consumers, and will
tend to strengthen the public hostili-
ty against such combinat ton as that
recently brought about by the Read
ing people. Local dealers here say
that there seems to be no help for
such a state of things for year at
least, as while litigation looking to
the breaking of the animation is
in progress, the price may be forced
up as far as possible, and the public
will have no remedy. Opinions differ
on this point, however, and the
prophecy is made in some quarters
that the mbination will not hold
together year. 1t is to be hoped
that this latter view of it will prove
correct, and that this monopoly will
be broken fine.

Face Ellls In New jersey.

In the New Jersey assembly last night Mr..
Parker Of Monmouth introduced the long
looked-for race bills. Ono provides that the
practice of bookmaking and betting upon horse
races within the inclosed grounds OF any asso-
citation shall not constitute a misdemcanor or
be indictable for holding said races therein.
The other authorizes boards Of freeholders
to license any association or body incorporated
or owning a race course in any county to use
it for the running of horses for purses or plate
other thing. The license shall be for five
years and shall prescribe the number Of days
and months each year in which the right may DO
executed. The license fee, payable to the
county, shall be per cent of the gate receipts
and shall be turned over within thirty days
after the end OF the month Where-
ever racing takes places associations racing
without a license shall be liable to fine Of $500
a day.
Both bills were referred to the committee on
revision Of the laws and they will be vigorously
opposed by the anti-racing associations of the
state, whose representatives were numerous
about the capitol.
The republicans called joint caucus to con-
slider the race-track bills, but after sitting till
nearly midnight could not agree on q party at
ttude toward them. There was opposition
from members located near some of the tracks
to comnlittal OF the party to hostile atti-
tude. 1t looks now as if the matter will have
to be discussed i'll the legislature altogether
apart from partisan lines and on the merits Of
the bills.
