In the House this morning, sixteen
bills were introduced including one by
Mr.. Barber OF Brattleboro,, providing FOR
chief judge and four associate judges
OF the supreme court. In the Senate Mr.
Gibson Of Windham introduced bill so
as to permit the killing Of deer, which
are destroying property on cultivated
land. The deer so killed are TO be turned
over to the authorities for the benefit OF
the state. Upon motion Of Senator lewis
of Orleans the committee on municipal
corporations was excused from further
consideration of the joint resolution
calling for the investigation OF the telc-
phone companies in the state. The bill
was then referred to the general com.
mittee. The reference OF this resolution
to committee is thought by many 10
mean the side.tracldng Of the measure
in the Senate.
When the House bill relating to ex.
emption from trustee process in wages
to the extent of $40, was taken up for
discussion, Mr.. TiIden of Barre City said
that the measure was an important one
both TO merchants and laboring men
and that he favored having the bill lie
and made the motion with the consent Of
Mr. Barber, who introduced the bill Mr.
Davis Of Springfield spoke in the inter.
ests Of the laboring man and thought
that certain changes should be made in
the bill to make it more comprehensive
before it was passed. Ii was ordered to
lie by unanimous vote.
The bill providing for court of in
quiry concerning insane paupers was
passed in the House. The purpose OF
this bill is to save expenses for the state
in the support of the pauper insane in
cases in which there are relatives vino
can afford to contribute toward the sup
port of such pauper or are likely to be
able TO do so.
The bill which passed the Senate yes
terday allowing three persons to incor.
porate under the laws of the state in

The canyasipg committee met in the
eleak room this morning 10 canvass votes

Election of Judges.
Considerable interest was manifested
at the State House this morning over
the election of judges this afternoon at
80 o'clock. 1t was thought that Chit
tenden county might present the name
of Z. G. Mower. municipal judge, in
but at late hour it was
decided not TO present his name. Rut-
land county was debating over the ques
tion Of presenting the name OF Henry
L. Clark for the place, but no definite
action was taken in the matter Wash
ington county will present the name of
Hon. Zed s. Stanton, candidate for the
against Governor Prouty
for the Republican nomination, and at
noon it looked as though he might be
elected.
MFR. DeBoer of Montpelier nominated
Mr.. Stanton and also named Mason S. |
Stone for the position Of state superin-
.endent of education to succeed him |
self. Mr.. Bacon Of Hartford named G. II, |
FeTin, sergeant-at arms, to succeed |
himself. There was no opposition to
,ither of these candidates, neither is |
here any to the election OF Superior
Judge Haseton, who was nominated by |
Mr.. Laary Of Burlington to the place on
he supreme bench made vacant by the !
retirement of Judge Tyler. Adjutant.
ieneral Gilmore was reelected to his |
present Office.
The statute provides that the three
udges of the court of claims shall be
leeted at the same time with the other
Ulcers AT the present time Linus Leay
ms of Cambridge is the only member Of
his court remaining. Judge Plumley and
Judge Finn having rendered their resig-
lations. There is a bill in the Senate
t the present time abolishing the court
which seems to stand good chance of
'assage and it may be that on this ae-
cunt this election will be set aside, If
t is possible to do so legally If the
Judges were elected and then the court
vas abolished, the passage Of the bill
you'd take precedence over the election
nd as the term Of office of the present
nembers does not expire until December
there would be no Office to be filled
rhen that time came.
