become the fountain head from which

An extraordinary suit is now in

An extraordinary suit is now in
progress in the Chaucery Court Of
louisville, k, which from the
prominence of the parties concerned
and the character Of the issues in
volved, has created a very decided
sensation there. The late II. D.
Newcomb, for many years president
Of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, was married twice. His first
wife became insane and killed two of
her children, and has since been On
inmate Of the Massachusetts, General
Hospital for the the insane. Several
years ago Mr.. Newcomb procured a
decree Of divorce, aud was afterward
married to young daughter of a
wealthy anc prominent citizen of
Louisville, by whom he had two
children. He died last summer,
leaving property Of between one and
two millions. One sou by his first
wife survived, and is practically the
plaiutiff in the suit, although it 'is
brought in the name of the first wife,
making all legatees and trustees OF
Wills defen dants, and is brought to
declare the second marriage null and
void, the divorce, it is claimed, hav-
ing been illegal. The effec. of de-
