THE RUTLAND.C
Asks the Appointment of Commission
to Settle the Matter of an Entrance
Into Burlington.

Rutland, July at was reported Satur-
day that an application had been made
10 the Supreme Court for the appointment.
under the statute, of con missioners 10 act
In reference to the right of way of the
Rutland Canadian road through Burlirg-
ton and President Clement of the Rutland
road tonight made statement in regard
to the matter as follows:
TO begin at the beginning it was felt
that the preferable or what might be call
ed the natural way for the Rutland-Cana-
dian road to come into Burlir gton from the
north was near the lake shore and into
the present Central Vermont passengec'
station and we understood that Burlington
people preferred to have this done. But
it was obvious that such connection
with the Rutland road would be expensive
while one could be made by running
around through Winooski and east of the
city much cheaper, and some of our
friends IN Burlington thought that city
might contribute something in money to
get II as people wanted it. An attempt to
get tho necessary vote was made accord
ingly but it failed Then We tried to bar
gain with the Central Vermont in such
way that we could enter the city in the
way indicated without any help but that
failed. And now we have asked the court
to appoint commissioners to take up the
whole matter Of the Misunderstanding
coming into the city by the lake shore.
There are two routes to consider, one
running in across the Central track and
overhead near the west end OF the tunnel
and thence south along the bank: the 9TH
er, crossing the Central at grade and COM
ing down Lake street. The commissioners
will be asked to say which OF these routes
We shall take and how much will be a fair
price for us to pay or to say that neither
of the routes should be used In the lat
ter case We should of course be compelled
81 n 10 pi
AS things stand now it is no doubt true
that the lake location would be the most
convenient but Burlington is growing
eastwardly and a station on the line pro-
posed would not long be one side of the
city II 1t comes to running on that line
1t will be necessary to have new commits
sioners appointed to assess the land dam
ages"

Below we give a cut Of the
Dormitory when completed. There
is felt to be urgent need for en-
larged Accommodations and vigorous
efforts will be made to complete
this building by the opening Of
next session when, it j. hoped, it
will assume the proportions PIE
scented in the accompanying cut.
1t is proper for us to state that
the DOrmitory is kept under
wholesome regulations; so that,
while it offers most Of the comforts
and conveniences Of home life, it
maintains proper restraint and
ample protection. Parents, there
fore sending their daughters here
to board, may rest assured that
strict and constant regard will, be
had to their department and to
their social and moral relations.
1t is felt and maintained that, in
the work of educating and train
ing, a pure and elevated character
should not be sacrificed for any
consideration Ruston Leader.

THE INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.

The Louisiana Industrial Insti
tute, located at Ruston, is a school
in which the citizens of the Peli
can State should feel a deep inter
est and a high degree of pride
This school was created by an act
Of the Legislature of 1894, and in
September Of the following year
the first session began. From the
first the patronage has been large
and almost overfowing. In fact,
it soon became necessary to en-
large the original building by the
addition of two wings. 1t was
also found expedient to erect a
Dormitory with good boarding ac
cancellations for girls. The build
ing is now filled to it's utmost ca
pacity, but when it shall have as
sumed the proportions called for
in the plan that has been adopted,
the Accommodations will be ample
for the large number of girls that
are expected to be yearly in atten-
dance.
Beautifully situated and per
fcctly adapted, by their remote
ness from the stir and noise of
town, for pleasant residence and
for quiet and uninterrupted ednca-
tional work, the buildings are con
venient, spacious, substantial and
imposing. The apartments are all
comfortable and attractive and
the workshops and lecture rooms
are provided with the best appli-
ances for the most approved meth
DDS Of instruction.
The faculty consists Of thirteen
teachers and enthusiast
tic in their work and well qualified
for the positions that they fill.
The number of pupils enrolled
to this date is about two hundred
and thirty. Quite a large acces-
SION is expected on the first of
January. 1t is stated that the
department. of the pupils has been
better and that there has been
more diligent studying this SEES
sion than during any previous SEES
sion Of the school. This speaks
well for both pupils and teachers.
II need scarcely be said that a
school Of this character-thns
equipped and conducted, and hav-
ing for its principle feature the

without any training and, conse
quently, without any proper quail
ications for business, Strikingly
illustrating the proverb, "An idle
head is the devils work shop"
1t is obvious, therefore, that the
industrial feature in the schools is
a very important agency for pro
testing our youth against corrupt
ing influences, for eIevating the
moral character Of our people and
for throwing distractions i'll the
way to the aims house the pene-
Tertiary and the gallowS.
Verify, it is a wise policy to sus-
tain such institutions by liberal
appropriations; for they pay back
far more than an equivalent in the
public good they dispense. We
feel that we can certainly claim
this for our school at Ruston. 1t.
is doing good and faithful work;
and, besides, under the wise and
far-sighted administration of the
president, its finances are kept in
good shape and are managed on
strictly business principles. The !
school is to be congratulated Oh
its encouraging prospects.

THAT "REO BOOK"
Again the Subject Of Contention al
the Trial Of Senator Quay.
After Exhaustive Arguments BY Counsel II
Wis Admitted as Evidence.

Philadclphla. Aprll l5.-Thc sixth day
OF the trial Of ex-senator Quay began
with the prospects of a battle royal
between counsel as 90 the admission Of
the red book which expert Meyer
Goldsmith yesterday said was undoubt-
edly a book OF the bank.
At the close Of yesterdays proceed
ings Goldsmith wds on the stand and
was being examined by District Attor-
ney Rothermel with reference TO what
the book showed. Mr.. Goldsmith again
took the stand today and as an inuica-
tiOn of purpose OF opposing counsel TO
contest every question which might
bring the contents OF the book before
the jury before It's admiAblity mas
been finally determined. the first ques-
tion by the district attorney was OBJ
jected to and after spirited argu-
mcnt. the defense scored point. The
question was continued what period or
time is represented by the calculations
in the red book"
During argument the district attor-
ney indicated that he purposed TO show
by the question that the calculations
were made at intervals OF six months.
each date being a regular settlement
day OF the Peoples bank. Mr.. Gold
smith was stood aside for the present.
The district attorney then offered IN
evidence n check OF Sl5l9 signed by
John s. Hopkins. cashier. to his own
order. and endorsed by John $. Hop
kins and Benjamin j. Haywood
This led TO another vigorous objection
by the defense which the court over
ruled. In doing so Judge Biddle spoke
at length 10 Mr.. Quay's counsel on the
number of useless objections made by
that side on the general basis that the
offered evidence did not mention Mr..
Quay. He said Il was not question
OF Mr.. Quay alone. but of conspiracy
and If the evidence offered did not inn
plicate Mr.. Quay no harm would be
done.
Turning 10 the court Mr.. Rothermel
said:
And now your honor, I offer In evil
dence the book known os the red book
as one OF the books OF the bank
Mr. Quay's counsel promptly obpect-
ed on the ground that il was not book
OF the bank.
Mr. Watson then began his argument
i'm support of the objection. After in
PRODUCING the general proposition OF
the defense's objection, Mr.. watson
turned to the testimony of Goldsmith.

entry for 81, 3J2.l0 In the ''red book" was
compared as being similar TO a like en-
try i'm the regular books, said: The
prosecution declares that because of
this thi book is book of the bank
\ comparison between these items
shows a difference OF four months in
the dates i'm the two books. The prop
oston to prove the red book by such
testimony is a most stGS S,ling one to

item OF S1.5l5. That is a very peculiar
item. We find it i'm the red book at
