EXONERATED
Examination Of M.F.AIlen's
Private Account
IN HIS FAVOR
Many Startling Developments
will Be Brought Out /.

Vergennes, June S.-The first week
OF the investigation Of the private &C.
count OF Lieut.. Gov. NJ. F. Allen has
been completed.
The Burlington Free Press says:
"The few days Of the examination
have already rewarded with startling
developments which work toward the
final exoneration of Mr. Allen from
the embarrassing situation in which
he has been paced by the indictments
against him. In fact the examina-
tion discloseS system OF purlolnlng
from accounts which will give those
who are guilty of the manipulation OF
the funds and figures high rank
among bank defaVlters unless some
still more interesting discovery IS,
made. 1t has taken but few days
to ascertain that system was used
which would not have been possible
in any bank except one like that al
Vergennes where no pass books were
kept by the men whose accounts were
doctored.
The method used in the case of
Gov. Allen, so far as has been disclosed
by the examination, was that OF en-
tering checks drawn by him once
twice and sometimes as many as four
times against his account. The sig
nificance Of this procedure as applied
to the account readily appears and
leaves room for no supposition except
the one that on each OF the entries OF
! the check against the account after
the first and proper one the money
represented was simply transferred
from the account of Gov. Allen to the
pocket OF the person or persons oy
whom the false entries were made.
A popularity OF this system seems 70
he that checks of odd numbers and
having cents attached were selected
This system could not have been FOL.

by the drawer Of the check through

hut this was not Gov. Alien S custom
Both Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Mccormick

even those who expected discoveries o
that nature.
1t is claimed that the account o
Joseph Qulnlan has also received IN

OF the same system OF charging an

Mr.. Quinlan's account, it is stateo

being over half a score. The opers
tions upon this account would not

1t is quite possible that the expos

EXCEPTIONS NOT DISMISSED

r A short time ago several newspa-
papers published an item stating that
the exceptions in the case against B.
Fl Wells had been dismissed by the
Supreme Court, and MIR. wells
friends were all respondent to think
that his case could not be tried on
it's merits.
1t came to our notice that this an
nouncement Of the exceptions being
dismissed was untrue, and after an in
terview with attorneys on both sides
of the case, we can announce the facts
as follows
r. A. Hoar filed a motion that the
exceptions in the case be dismissed,
and this motion was argued. The
court decided that the motion and the
main case should be decided together,
and gave Barney and Hoar, attorneys
for the state, ten days in which to tilt
brief, which brief they have just
prepared. so it is plainly to be seer
that the Wells case is not ye0 ended.

A DECISION
Rendered byJudge Wheel
or in Gases Of
KNOTT and cLossoN
claimants Cannot Recover OF
Grounds Of Fraud

Burlington, J une S.-A decision was
received in this city yesterday from
Judge Wheeler in which he disallows
the claim of Hubert Hebert the Jeri-
co blacksmith, against Knott 4 Clos
son bankrupts. The claim which was
considered one made test case was
heard before the referee in bankruptcy
some months ago and the findings
placed in the hands Of Judge Wheeler.
L. F. Wilbur appeared for the claim
ant. A. A. Hall and A. &. WhiGtl-
more for the contesting creditors and
J. ]. Enright trustee pro Sc. The de-
cision is as follows:
"The reports of the referee show
that the claimant let the bankrupts
have margins of various sums from
$50 to $500 at different times between
April End '96, and November "a, '9l
for the purchase of pork, corn and
cotton for future delivery to be the
subject of adjustment between them
with reference to the rise and fall OF
the market.
The case wholly fails to show that
there was at ANY time any allse
in the market emitting him to aprott
or that there were not falls that used
up these margins or what in fact the
state Of the market was by which the
rights, If any, accruing upon these
margins, could be adjusted.
So no question arises as to the le'
gality Of the dealings. His money
went where he expected it to g
whether legally or illegally; and NJ
liability accrued for that; no none!
is shown to have been returned from
it's investment to the bankrupts TO
any claim of liability against then
could arise"

THE SEA CALLS.

Like the wind whose cloudy bugle notes close up

Like lover crying en- his love- that pleads and

Beseeching by thousand VOWS and pledges made
Of yore,
The sea is calling. calling, calling, Child, re-

1t throbs along the dark and day in pulsing un.
dertone.
1t beats below the trafics roar, between the
walls OF stone;
Its liquid clarion echoes leap from rock and cave
and strand
Come back and be as once thou vert when we
went hand in hand
You barges with the rust red sails that hover,
poised for flight,
In the haze of London river, to the left and to
the right,
Spread out your mighty pinions down the river
winding wide
And bear me to the green and gold of the tum-
bling, tossing tide
For the shells wait where the last long breaker
cast them out OF reach,
And the weeds that fringe high water mark lie
shriyelcd up the beach,
But yet some far flung wave may gather
them and me-
Some splendid wave of dcstny-home TO the
yearnins sea.
