Measures Killed. AFTER Long DebatO.
| tFrom Saturdays Daily Free Press.l
MONTPELIER, Nov. lS.--Ths Windbam
county fight was settled to-day until 1894
when the next Legislature will rehash the
subject as usual. The special committee on
the Rutland city charter got thoir bill
through, though yea and nay vote showed
that surprisingly largo number we're OPP
| posed to it. Even If Tho bill goes through
the Senate and meets with executive approx
a., harmony will not prevail for some time
in the new city. The dsbate was not as
! lively as had been expected. Mr.. Cannon
made a strong presentation of his side of
the case, and Mr.. Clement replied in u
| straightforward, conversational way. Mr..
Fish of Ira made one of his quaint
speeches, which brought down the House.
The expected opposition to the fish and
game bill did not materialZe. The House
thought that gray squirrels and muskrats
could take care of themselves, and with
some amendments to meet this way of think
ing the bill was ordered to third reading.
| When the question was put on a mo-
ton made by MIR. stafford for an evening
session, there were so many ''noes' that
the speaker declared the motion lost Some
one led for count, and this time one
man only started to rise when the negative
was called. lie looked about him, saw that
he was alone and at once sat down, not soon
enough however, 10 prevent being counted
by the speaker. Mucn business of a routine
character was done, as the following report
will show:
