Yesterdays Proceedings in
the House.

COLUMBIA, January 27.-The House
o-day passed bill definitely es.ab-
fishing the line between Charleston
and Berkeley counties; recommitted
three measures, received others and
then adjourned. Considerable time
was spent in the consideration of a
bill to provide for small school dis
tricts and to provide that not more
than one school for each Of the races
be established in each of the districts.
The idea seemed to be popular one
and had such proposition been pre-
sented without any encumbrances it
would have been likely to pass. The
only special Act that appeared to-
day was one to provide for cotton
weigber at Easley, but it was made
to give way to genera! bill that is
be introduced later in the session.
The House also showed disposl-
ticn to consider all pension matters
in connection with a general bill on
that subject that is in course of prep
aration.
SENATE.
This was strictly Calendar day,
eleven bills being passed within half
an hour after the Senate came to
order. The enacting clause of the
bill to require Judges of Probate and
Clerks of Court to be in their offices

The Great Libel Suit.

The trial Of the libel suit Of Gov.
Woodbury. against the Rutland Her.
aid has been fixed by agreement OF
counsel on both sides for April rs,
Tuesday, in Burlington.
The trial will be held before three
Judges of the supreme court, Chief
Judge Ross and Associate Judges Row
ell and Tyler.
This method of trial is adopted, as
has heretofore been announced, for
the reasons that it will be shorter than
a Jury trial and more conclusive, in
that there can be no appeal from the
decision of the judges.
The case will be in many respects
the most interesting ever tried in YER
mont. and it is safe to say that it will
also be one Of the most vigorously and
ably contested.
Gov. Woodbury. will be represented
by Messrs. d.. Foster, Senator Hasel-
ton and w. P. Dillingham;; the Her.
AIDS counsel are Messrs. G. A. Prouty
of Newport, G. M. Wilds of Middle

COUNCIL COMMITTEE DISCUSSES THE
TELEPHONE ORDINANCE.
Railroads Want Additional Favors-
Committed Thinks City Should
Get Something in Return.

The council committee on contracts and
franchises met last night and considered
several important ordinances. Engineer
Mansfield appeared before the committee
in behalf of the Vandalia and 1. & V.
roads TO explain what was wanted in the
application of these two roads for permis-
sion to change their tracks at the crossing
of Missouri and Kentucky avenue. The
new arrangement which the roads are anx-
ious to perfect would be very advantageous
to the vandalia road on account of giving
it a track over which no passenger trains
would pass, thus leaving it open at all
times for the use of switch engines. 1t
was suggested by some of the members
of the committee last night that as this
new arrangement of tracks would cause a
large saving in time TO the Nandalia. ii
was worth something TO the city, and that
the company should make some concession.
1t was suggested that now would be a
good time to demand that the Vandalia re-
move it's track from Kentucky avenue and
use the /. & V. main track in reaching the
various factories il now leads to. II Is
not known what conclusion the
reached in this regard. for ii was simply
given out that it had been decided TO take
no action on this ordinance at this time.
The committee approved the, ordinance
granting the c., II. * d. road the right
to build a switch to the plant of the IN
diana Bicycle Company.
The contract with the Central Union Tel
ephone Company was discussed. Mr..

present and explained its provisions. The

and all that any member would say. after

SMALL YIELD OF WHEAT
CROP ESTIMATED BY S~TATIsTICIAN
AT 2~4,554,s53 BUSHELS.
Much Wheat Too Thin to Cut-A
Large Increase in Acreage Over
that of Last Year.

State Statistician Thompson yesterday
issued a bulletin on crop acreages and live
stock. Says he:
THE figures given in this bulletin are
compiled from reports made by the 1.0l6
township assessors TO this bureau. as re-
quired by law. The average yield of wheat
for the several counties is made from re-
senting every county in the State, giving
the number of bushels threshed from
23s' an increase over last year of la. O4S
acres. The total bushels is 24.574, S53. being
an average per acre of So bushels. This
takes no account of abandoned or uncut
acreage for this year. which last year was
estimated at s per cent, and is doubtless
full as large this year. The reports from
threshers show that much of the wheat is
of an inferior quality weighing ffty-five
to fifty-eight pounds. Had the abandoned
acreage been taken il would doubtless
have reduced the amount 1000, 600 bushels.
