iury, and those not so considered will be
brought before the court by way of in
formations filed by the states attorney.
In a written document the grand Jury
reported that they had visited the
county Jail and had found its sanitary
conditions good and the prisoners well
cared for, but recommended That the
windows in the mems main part be
lowered so as to furnish more light;
that they had been unable to find any
evidence of the existence of bucket
shops, SC. called, anywhere within the
county; that they found that the
public's moneys and the school moneys
had been properly administered by the
general towns; and finally that the
statutes concerning the illegal traffic in
Intoxicating liquors had been properly
executed. The foreman stated that they
had completed their labors and they
were then discharged for the term by
the court, who thanked them for the
expedition with which they had per-
formed their duties They were at once
paid off by the clerk and departed for
their homes.
The "bill not found" brought IN by
the grand jury was proposed indict-
ment for arson against Alfred Z. Pal-
mer who had been incarcerated in the
county iail for about two weeks charged
with the burning of hay stack belong
ing to Fred Plat of Shoreham in that
town some five or six weeks ago. The
respondent in this case is man of
education and was for short time Il
professor in Williams college. He is
about 4G wears of age and for the past
II years has been mildly insane, as
the result of an injury to his head
received from fall. For the past eight
wears he had lived with his parents at
Willamsburgh. y. Y, having been con-
fined in an asylum for the six years pre-
vious. Last MAY his brother, F. Jackson
Palmer, who lives in Shoreham, brought
him home to remain with him awhile on
account of the illness of their mother.
During a brief cold spell this fall Palmer
wandered away from his brothers home
and was missing for some days. 1t was
during this absence that he set fire to
and DESTROYED Mr.. Platt's stack of hay,
and it is suspected that he built fire
near the hay to warm himself, and that
the fire was communicated to the stack.
Palmer subsequently, rendered Mr.. Plat
worthless check for $500 in payment
for the hay, Whch the brother. however.
paid for in full. LAWYER LHFleur for the
relatives asked that Palmer be formally
discharged and turned over to his brother
to be by him taken back to Williams
burgh and placed in the charge of his
parents, who are abundantly able and
entirely willing to care for him. States
Attorney Donoway was willing that thi:
course should be taken if warrant could
be found for it in the statutes. After
lengthy discussion of the matter that
course was finally decided upon, and
Saturday morning the unfortunate mar
was delivered into the hands of hi:
brother who at once started for New
York state with him on the mail tTair
south. This closed the work of the
court for the day and at > 10 o'clock 4
recess was taken to the regular hour or
Saturday morning.

Wednesday night it did not look much
like final adjournment Friday morning,
as large amount of important business
was still to be acted upon. The Senate
was very tardy in getting to work We'd
nesday morning, being nearly an hour
behind the House. If the session is pro-
longed INTO next week it will not be the
fault of the House as that body is work
ing diligently and full time. 1t passed
the committee bill giving the railroad
commissioners increased powers; the
board to consist of three members APP
pointed by the governor and who shall
hold office for six years, one being APP
pointed every two years. The House
killed the Bundy bill to reduce state ex-
penses, as it was too radical. The house
debated capital punishment, the White
River Railroad bill and passed several
minor bills, among them the bill to pay
James b. Donaway his salary that was
held up by G.. w. Morrow. 1t also killed
several little bills.
The Senate elected Senator Emery
! president protein, as both the Lieutenant
governor and president protein were
absent at opening of session. 1t passed
a bill fOrbiddng any building ana loan
association doing business in the state
from charging over 6 per cent interest.
1t voted to abolish the SwantoD fish
hatchery and to forbid seining south of
! Hog island in Lake Champlain. 1t pass
ed lot of corporation, private and little
bills, among them one giving Burlington
the right to maintain II public dock.

vided that three of the ships to

adopted, and now the House has
gotten into trouble with the Sen,

pretty fight, The House, object
ing to Senate amendment to

asked for a conference. adding
that it had instructed its con

points. This notice the Senate
regards as a violation of its dig
nifty. and Senator Pettus assured
me this morning that the Senate
would never yield. 1t seems
probable, therefore. that the
House will be compelled to recede

Look carefully before you leap. If you
have money to invest make sure by
careful investigation whether the in
vestment promises returns. Better to
pay some responsible person to place
your money for you. The world is full
of rascals who will promise anything
to induce susceptible investors to part
with their money. Don't lock your
money up in trunk for safe keeping,
but rather that than invest it in a
