it was not on the classified list and that

right against the new form OF trusts
which are being so rapidly multiplied at

give them the appearance OF legality or
sanction of law, when in fact. they are

The decision OF Judge Wheeler in the ~
pication for "A discharge by Augustin j.
Roy OF st. Johnsbury, bankrupt, has pcen
received by Clerk George T.. johnson in
this city. The discharge is refused oh
grounds which may prove interesting TO
those who are to file petitions in bankrupt
~ under the new law. The attorneys IN
the case were Bates, May and SimOnds of
st. Jchnsbury The decision tollows:-
THE bankrupt appears to nave nan,
when making his petition and schedule, an
accident insurance policy on which du.S
had accrued and been paid to him to the
amount of S37.5o, which he had after his
y, tition and schedule were made and just
before signing them. In TIN schedule
ceiling for cash on hand he said 'none'
and in that calling for insurance policies
lac said none and with the petition ami
schedule he filed an affidavit stating that
he was without means to pay the fees ana
could not obtain money to pay the sam p.
Such a policy on which nothing had
accrued and which had no surrender value,
probably would not pass to the trustee :
and a mere omission of it from the sch '-
dule might not be serious, but the money
received from ii would he cash on hand

railroad systems OF the West. This pollcN
of giving land grants by tho national gov
ernmeut to aid in the construction oil ram

grant made to the Illinois central RAN
road company, and ended in the grant
made on March 3. lNl. to the southern
pacific Railroad company There was thus
an interval Of about q years, in whlch
the pubic lands were donated TO lrutoN-
ing corporations with what the writer OF
the article referred TO seems to consider
a reckless prodigality. The area oi land
thus granted is said to be equal TO Ii,
36l square miles. that Is. an area pracu-
ern Of tho thirteen original states ~ the
Union As in square miles the area oi
France is poi III OF Germany 2li.lpN, OF

have more than equallcd in extent. anu
as it is minated in natural resources
and productivity, either of thes" great fu-
ropoa, countries The grant made to the
Illinois Central is about the same as the
areas Of Rhode Island and Connecticut
combined The land given TO the chicago
and Northwestern is Oearly the same n
extent as tho State of Maryland. The
grant given to the Union Pacific is some
what larger than the State of South Car
DINA The southern Pacific has received
land which. If aggregated would more

tho State of Ohio. while the grant TO the
Northern Pacific is larger in area than the
States OF New York and Vermont COM
Sined After making a careful summary
in detail of the prices obtained for the
sale of this land. it is estimated that the
entire led grant would represent do
