An extraordinary divorce trial has been
in progress at indianapolis, Ind, for wee k,
and was terminated on Monday 3rd inst. by
decree of divorce to the wife, the question
of alimony and jurisdiction of the child being
reserved for decision. The plaintiff is Annie
X. Lawton, daughter of Horatio King, OF
Washington City, d. c., who was assistant
Postmaster General during Mr.. Lincon's adj
ministra,ion. She charges her husband with
cruel treatment and failure to provide She
also sues for aimony. The defendant,
Andrew Lawton, Chief Engineer in the
United States Navy, of the ship Hartford,
filed cross petition charging the plaintiff
with desertion, and he asks the court to de-
cree him divorce and the custody of the
little daughter of the parties, six years old.
He also charges that the plaintiff is only tenn
porarily residing in Indiana for the purpose
of securing divorce. The parties were all
paesent in court Most of the evidence was
in the shape of dispositions from different
points in the United States, and from Geneva,
Switzerland.

There is a second class of creditors that will
in all probability receive their payment in full
or large share Of their claims, inasmuch as
they hold second names like the drafts of
wooden mills on +. Skinner Co. and others.
These wooden mills are liable for the full
amount of the drafts in case they cannot be
cashed by Skinner 4 Co. There Is third
class of creditors whom the committee hope
to be able to pay, in their words, "a respecta-
BILE dividend" but they decline to commit
themselves as to the amount of that dividend,
and give as reason that the size of the divi-
dend, will depend mainly upon the good judg-
ment used in the settlement of the estate.
The committee think that proceedings in bank
ruptcy should be avoided, and that creditors
have their claims better satisfied out of bank
ruptcy than in. \ committee was then ap
pointed to take possession of the property
and wind up the affairs of the firm.

high salaried treasurers, linked in togeth-
err, as they usually have been. This is
very sharp language, but the Herald goes on
to remark that there is hardly corporation
factory that, from first to last, has been
good investment while in manyvery many
instances the holders have lost everything,
the corporations having become bankrupt
and sold to new companies at small part
of the original cost. 1t admits that during
the war a great deal of money was made
and dividends were paid; but adds that,
with the return of peace, things have gone
back to their old depressed condition. The
Herald gives the opinion Of one of the
most experienced mill managers in New
England, that factory stock is the poorest
investment with all its contingencies, that
a man could make. We hope the picture
is not so dark as painted by the Herald,
but must acknowledge there is good deal
of truth in its representations.

The Psesque Isle Sunrise informs its rea-
ders that an engineer and 10 assistants are
exploring for the purpose of locating a rail-
road into Aroostook. 1t understands that
Mr. Ramsey is directed by his employer,
gentleman in Bangor, to examine all the pro-
posed routes for the road, and find the best
location. He is to pay no attention to the
wishes or opinions of any one, nor any town,
but is to follow the dictates of his own judg-
ment. $4,000 have been appropriated to pay
the expenses to the survey, and the whole
fall will be devoted to the work. Mr.. Ram
sey was the locating engineer of the European
and North American railroad, and has proved
himself eminent in his profession.
