When the original survey was made thare was a population Of perhaps S,ee0 peo- pie in skagway, hundreds of these people were scattered and some Of them never appeared to claim their holdings, thus considerable delay was undergone before a settlement could be arrived at
 When the day Of sale came there remained 15S lots to be disposed of. These lots had been incumbered with taxes, penalties and assess meuts until it was generally believ- ed that they would hardly bring the costs imposed against them. therefore it was a matter of sur prise and pleasure to find when Mir. Boughton offered these lots to the public that they were sold at prices which produced very satisfactory residue over the cost of administra- ton, which win ultimately be ad- ded to the city treasury. Compar- ed with other towns, Skagway in completing her incorporation has made record for economy, thor oughness and celertty, all of which is due to the efficiency and atten- tiveness of Trustee Boughton.

TOWN VOTERS ARE
NEARLY SOLID
IN FAVOR
Almost Una imous Vote For
Road Improvements
FOUR THOUSAND is VOTED
To Go With $4,000 From the State
And Whole Sum To Be Spent
Under State Direction.

Bennington voters this morning
again demonstrated that Bennington
is gaining every day in public spirit
and patriotism and voted almost I'M
animously TO fix up in first class
shape the main roads leading into
Bennington from the north and south,
at an expense of $4,000 to the town
and a similar amount from the state.
When the contest came to show
down there was nobody in opposition
except the so-called local organizer
of the knockers union and a half doz-
en- citizens who mean to be public
spirited but who got in wrong and
aligned themselves on that side be-
fore hearing the arguments and stay
ed by the sinking raft.
The special town meeting to act
on the proposed appropriation was
called to order at 10 o'clock by Mod
orator E. IL. Holden and the call
was read by Town Clerk e. A. Booth.
There was a good attendance when
the meeting opened and by the time
the arguments were well under way
the hall was crowded by perhaps 400
voters. The issue was at once raised
by the offering of the following reso-
luton by William II. Nichols:
Resolved, That the selectmen be
and they are hereby instructed TO
appropriate and use from the general
funds of the town, in addition to the
sums heretofore appropriated for that
purpose, sum not TO exceed $4,000,
to be. used and expended for the con
strucuon of permanent highways in
the town under the supervision and
direction of the state highway com
missioner or his authorized represen.
tative, provided always that an equal
amount from the state highway funds
be appropriated and used within this
town. for the same purpose by the
state highway commissioner, and il
there be not sufficient moneys in the
general fund of the town to meet
this appropriation, the selectmen are
hereby authorized and directed to Dor,
row upon the faith and credit of the
town. from time to time as may be
required, such sum or sums as may
in their judgment be necessary, not
exceeding $4,000 for the purpose OF
meeting this appropriation hereby
made, and to issue their orders pay.

Hon. o. NJ. Barber made a ringing

JUDGE ARCHIBALD
MAKES DENIAL OF
ALL CHARGES
Never Used Power of Office
for Personal Profit
ARRAIGNED BEFORE SENATE
Was Party To "katydid Quinn DEAR
But Took No Advantage OF His
Position.

Washington, July 30-The definite
assertion was made by leading mem
bers of the Senate last night that the
trial of Judge Robert w. Archibald OF
the commerce court will not be UNI
dertaken by the Senate court Of i'm
parchment before next fall. The ques
ton was not decided yesterday, when
Judge Archibald appeared to answer the
charges of the House of representa-,
tives at Washington, but a vote Will
be taken on the matter beforeHe END
of the week The maximum strength
of the Senate during the tariff fight
last week was &C, two-thirds of the
total membership. Many senators are
planning to leave Washington soon
after August /. Senate leaders claim
it would be difficult to hold the Sen
ate together: and, in view of the
known desire of Judge Archibald for
postponement of the case, il is eX
pected that majority of the Senate
will favor it.
Judge Archibald and his attorneys
took their places yesterday at the
counsel table a few minutes after the
Senate convened as a court of I'M
parchment. Senators Penrose, Poin
dexter, Kern, Watson, Foster and
Bankhead, who were absent when the
case was first taken up, were sworn
in as members of the court. II took
the clerk of the Senate 10 minutes tC
read the journal of the last day OF
the courts sitting. Then Senator Ga
linger, in the chair, asked if the de

make answer to the charges. I'VE are
ready with our answer" said Mr.. Wol
Ellington Judge Archbald's lawyer
"and would like to have it read from
the clerks desk" This permission
was granted by the Senate, and the
reading of the answer began.
Judge Archibald formally denied
denied that he ever had used his Office
or his influence as a judge for profit
that he ever undertook for a consider
alton to compromise litigation before
| the interstate commerce commission
that he ever wrongfully used his posi-
ton to obtain credit from litigant':
| before him or that he had undertaken
to carry on a general business for pre-
fit or speculation in coal properties
as charged in the House indictment.
To each of the 10 articles of i'm
parchment Judge Archibald replied
that none, even if true, constituted al
Improbable offence, high crime OF
misdemanor as defnefid by the con
! stitution. Many statements contain
ed in the allegations were not dis
puted, while others were totally
denied and annulment of others was
asked on the ground that they were
| too vague to admit of proper defense
Judge Archibald admitted his participa
/ ton in the now noted "Katydid clum
/ bank DEAL" with Edward J. Williams
of Scranton and the Hillside coal anC
iron company, a subsidiary of the
Erie railroad, which then had cases
pending in his court, but he denied
1 that he willfully or uHlawfully OF cor
ruptly took any advantage of his posi-
| ton to induce the railroad officials tC
deal with him and his partner.

DEMOCRATS IN A MIDDLE
Two County Conventions Called a

Burlington. July 30-Burhington
democrats are in a mix.up. If there
is anything the democrats believe in
it is in "disuniOn" there is strength.
Now come the two local factions
which have been warning with each
other ever since the city caucus, held
to elect delegates to the state conven-
ton, and proceed to call two separate
sets of caucuses and county conyen.
lions. One faction is headed by NJ. G.
Leary and the other by James f.
Burke. Mr.. Leary called his caucus
for last Saturday evening and his con.
vention for Wednesday, July 81. Mr..
Burke through the chairman of the
city committee, Lewis w. Johnson,
has called his caucus for Tuesday,
July 80, and his convention for Thurs
day, August /. So far as could be
learned, no caucus was held in the
city Saturday night in accordance with
Mr.. Learys call, but one is said TO
have been held in Winooski.
The Burke" convention and eau
cuses were called by Mr.. Johnson.
for the county committee" to quote
the words OF MIR. Burke last night. II
appears that prior to two years ago
Mr. Leary was a member of the coun-
~ committee and had issued calls for
caucuses and conventions acting in
the capacity of chairman. Two
years ago the committee passed a res.
olution to the effect that the county
committee should thereafter be com.
posed of the chairmen of the town
committees This resolution OF
course precluded Mr.. Learys acting
further as a chairman, but II seems
that after the resolution was passed
no organization was ever formed and
therefore there was no regular chair
man.
Mr. Burke looked up the reports of
the meeting and found that as no or.
ganization had ever been effected any
one of the chairmen OF a town com.
mittee could issue a call for a caucus
and convention if requested to do SO.
He thereupon asked Mr.. Johnson
chairman OF the city committee. TO
call the caucus and convention "for
the committee" This was done and
the dates now set for the Burke"
caucus and convention are July 80
and August !, respectively.
In the meantime. Mr.. Leary. appar.
entity not recognizing the call issued
by Mr.. Johnson or not knowing that
such a call had been isued, acted up-
on his own authority as he had done
IN the past and issued a call for a
caucus on last Saturday night and a
convention on Wednesday. July 81. at
the same hours set for the Burke con
Nention. Whether this muddle will
result in two county tickets remains
TO be seen.

verton of Mt. Vernon, who assisted in

theory, was in clined to believe that
Miss Snodgrass fell or jumped of a

tides.
Residents of Catskill, however who
are acquainted with the character of
this lonely and almost impossible
swamp, declare that this would be pos
sible but highly improbable.
The finding of the body ends a
