DUNCAN, SHERMAN 4 Co.-A DfssATIspIEr
CREDITOR The New York Times Of Wed
ne>day says:
4 brief advertisement 10 a morning jour.
nal invited the creditors of Duncan, Sher.
man & Co. to meet at noon yesterday at Mr.
John Townshend's Office, in the Bennett
building. A reporter Of the Times called at
1915 o'clock and found two creditors present,
one Of them being Mr.. Townshend himself.
Mr.. Townshend did not wish to proceed to
business with so small an audience, and
having waited until 1910 he adjourned the
meeting sine die. In a conversation with
the writer Mr.. Townshend said he had had
an interview both with MIR. Shipman, the as
si2nee, and Mr Duncan, on Monday last, and
that DC could get no Information whatever
from either Of them. He wanted to know
from Mr. Duncan the probable amount
Of assets, and what dividend was
likely to be paid to the creditors,
but Mr. Duncan was either unable or
unwilling TO give the required informa-
ton. Mr.. Townshend put to him very
pertinent question: "Mr. Duncan, how did
you ascertain you were bankrupt? You
must have bad some idea Of your assets be-
fore you suspended business" "Ob," said
Mr.. Duncan, i ascerlained that there was a
'shrinkage." But what the "shrinSage
was Sir. Townshend said be could not ascer.
tain. He next questioned Mr.. Shipman as
TO the probable time when the creditors
would receive plain statement of bow the
affairs Of the concern stood, but the assignee
was unable to tell. Dir. Townshend next
protested against Mr.. Snipnan acting as as
signee. He was the attorney for the bank
rupt firm, and would naturally do all IN bis
power 10 protect them. Their interests and
not tue interests of the creditors were more
| likely 10 be consulted lie had been their
confidential lawyer for years, and, although
! MIR. Towushend had the highest respect for
| Mr. Shirman, ami believed in his Integrity
still the creditors would, he said, much pre-
fer to have the appointment Of an assignee
! themselves.

OSE WIFE IL LYNN AND ANOTHER IN WASH
ISGToS.-A case Of bigamy in the city OF

break Of the war obtained q clerkship in the
Treasury Department at Washington. he
continued TO hold this position until his
death, which occurred not very long ago.
When be went to Washington he left vile
behind him, she having the care OF relative
with whom she lived. and not wishing to
take up her residence at the capital. This ar
rangement was continued for fourteen years,
the husband making an annual visit and
passing his vacation with his wife at her
home, in Lynn. The character Of the man
was respt ctable, and no one ever suspected
that he had unlawful marital relations. On
the occasion OF his last visit to his home he
was taken violently sick, and after a short
illness be died. A day or two before bis
death letter was received from Washington
directed to him, and as he was unconscious
his wife opened it. II informed her that the
man who lay dying before her had another
wife in Washington, who was the mother OF
two children. 1t was the first lntimatlon she
ever received of the fact (Which she learned
upon further inquiry that be had been living

THE gambling law is in fearfully
muddled condition. The bill signed
by Govern )r is not the one passed
by the Legislature, and the authorities
are at loss what to do about it. If
an attempt is made to enforce the pro-
visions of the bill signed by the Cover
nor objections will of course be made,
and the matter will go to the conrts.
If the bill is law. then enrolling
clerks may change bills to suit them
selves, and are superior as makers
to either or both Houses of the Legis
lature. The impression is that the
new law, if it may be called law, will
be declared mill and void by the courts.

THE BLACK HILLS BUBBLE.

There is evidently a growing ex-
citement relative to the reported gold
discoveries in the Black Hills. The
fever has not broken ont to any extent
on the Pacific coast as yet. but as the
bulk of the mining and migratory popu-
lation of the country is gathered upon
the Pacific slope, the appearance OF the
gold contagiou here may b. expected at
any moment. We have no desire to
depreciate the importance OF the newly
found dlggings. That gold exists in the
neichborhood of Cnsters Park is suf-
fciently proven by the official reports
of the officers commanding the military
expedition which explored that country
last Summer. Whether the aurlferous
fields are extensive aud remunerative
in the character, however, are matters
which the authentic reports furnish no
data for ascertainlng, and npOn these
points we may conjecture, but cannot
pronounce with any drgree of certainty.
AS the Spring approaches, and the
barriers to travel which Il rigorous
climate always imposes i'll mountain
Businesses are removed, earnest efforts
are being made in certain quarters to
induce rush of miners to the alleged
gold region. The citizens OF Cheyenne
seem remarkably anxious to spread
glowing accounts of the metallic wealth
of the alluvial deposits surrounding
Harney's Peak. Mass meetings have
been held, ut which returned dlggers
have discoursed upon the merits of the
new land of promise, and exhibited
specimens of Black Hills gold. Had
the Cheyenne people coutented them,
selves with this much, their efforts
might have passed current as being
comparatively disinterested. But for
tunately for a gnllible public, the
zealots of the Rocky Mountain city
have overreached themselves. The
business men, it is said, have formed
combinations for the purpose of trains
porting passengers from Cheyenne to
the gold fields, a distance, according tn
the lowest calculation, of about 200
miles, for the sum of $l2 per head.
Considering the nature of the country
to be traversed, aud the fact that the
Sioux nation. aided by the trooI Of the
United States, will sternly resist the
invasion of their domain by the white
man, the fare named is simply absurd,
and stamps the whole thing as fraud.
The business interests of Cheyenne
must surely be i'll dropping condition
when its leading men resort to such ii
transparent method of attracting a
