A SOMEWHAT complicated case came up in
City Court, Wednesday, being that of State vs..
Charles Kimball and Sophia Shepard, charg-
ed with adultery. The facts seem to be that
many years ago kimball married a woman,
Julia, with whom he lived fifteen years and
mans estate; that five years since, while
living at St. Adams, Sophia Shepard, 4
widow with five children, was an inmate of
the same house; that Kimbail fell in love
with her and almost simultaneously discov-
cred that his wife was bigamist, having a
living husband, one Abram Sharkey, at the
time of his marriage with her; that kimball
told Mrs. Shepard that he was not legally
married to his wife and that sine, believing
his story, eloped with him, and that they
were subsequently married and came
10 this city about three years ago.
During these five years the original
Mrs. Kimball had bitter struggle for
existence and shortly after coming TO this
city, about year ago, was forced, with her
younger child, to go the almshouse. Of
course the only point at issue is as TO wheth-
er Mrs. kimball was married 10 Sharkey.
If So her children are Legitimate and Kim
balls second marriage 4 legal one; if not,
Kimball and Mrs. Shepard will undoubtedly
be sent to States Prison. To give time for
procuring evidence as TO the alleged mar
riage the case was continued for one week

TIE portland & OGDENsBrRG RAIL
ROAD INPoRTA2T DECISION. AT Hyde
park, Monday, Judge Powers announced an
importan; decision by the Supreme Court in
the case of L. 2. Poland, trustee vs.. the La
noble Valley Railroad ct al. Under the
statutes of Vermont laborers who operate a
railroad have right to attach the personal
property of the road 10 secure their pay,
which amounts in equity to a first lien. 1t
was set forth in the petition for the appoint
ment of receivers that the road was liable TO
be embarrassed by these claims. The Su-
preme Court held among other things that
the appointment of receivers could not in
terfere with the laborers' right to attach the
personal property of the road to secure their
debts that the same right exists as if no re-
ceiyers had been appointed that the receiv-
ers or bondholders must pay these laborers
by the first of June next or all the personal
property of the road he then sold for that
purpose; that as the personal property of
the road had been lessened in value by use
since the receivership, all subsequently ac-
CURED property of the same kind, with the
net earnings of the road, could be held for
the same purpose. Laborers' claims against
the road are now estimated at $50, 600 The
Receivers certificates issued for other pur-
poses than to pay the operators take back
seat. The court held that inasmuch as all
parties had got into court, the court would
see this order carried out. The decision
gives great satisfaction to poor
operators and laborers along the line of the
road

afterwards he kepta grocery store. While

comfort 10 many Of his countrymen who
happened to land here in AZ and '4S.
He had a successful career in the grocery
business and became the possessor of consid-
cradle property, among the rest, the first and
oldest brick house in Burlington, and known
as the POmeroy place. His property con-
sisted principally Of tenement houses, and
for the past few years proved a poor invest
ment, owing in part TO the generous i'm
pulses with which the owner was imbued.
He has been known to not only give the rent
free TO some of his poor tenants but has on
many occasions furnished them with the
necessities Of life. lie was the friend of the
