James E. Ferguson is Now Ex-Governor.

Austin, Tex., Sept. 25.—The last act in the impeachment proceedings against Governor James E, Ferguson, of Texas, was recorded when a court of impeachment pronounced judgment, removing Mr. Ferguson from office and disqualifying him from holding hereafter any office of “honor, trust or profit” in Texas. An all-day fight was made in favor of a more moderate penalty. The verdict is immediately effective and Lieut. Governor William P. Hobby is now governor instead of '“acting governor.”
