An Important Hearing.

Yesterday very interesting hearing took
place in the Insolvent Court in regard to the
distribution of the effects of an insolvent part
nership, the individual members of which are
also insolvent. The statute provides that in
each case the net proceeds of the estate of each
member of the firm shall go to the private
creditors of such member, and the net pro-
ceeds of the partnership property shall be ap-
propriated to the payment of the partnership
creditors.
In the case of Williams and Norton there
were not partnership effects sufficient to pay
the expenses, and therefore the partnership
creditors claimed that they should share in the
division of the individual estate of Mr.. Will
liams. Mr.. Putnam and Mr.. Ridlon appeared
for the partnership creditors, and Mr.. A. A.
Strout, Gen. Mattocks and Mr.. Hopkins for
the private creditors.

Yesterdays Boston Advertiser, speaking of
the permission to unite by lease or other con-
tract, granted by the Aldrich amendment to
the Eastern and Boston & Maine roads, in the
railroad bill before the Massachusetts legisa-
ture, says it is understood such proposed union
is agreed to by the corporations and will be for
the interests of stockholders Further the Ad-
vertiser says:
The union would secure greater economy in
between Boston and Portland, each way over
each road, leaving at the same hour. Six
trains daily, timed for the convenience of trav-
oilers between the two cities, would give them
better accommodation. The cutting off of two
trains would not interfere with local travel
for the Boston & Maine have their Great Falls
train and Haverill and Lawrence trains, indie
pendent of the Portland trains.
Costly and needless competition would be
avoided. The situation Of these two roads has
at various times caused intense and bitter ri
valry between them. Their past history has
been one of conflict, with intervals of exhaus-
ton when they have temporarily raised their
rates by amicable agreement, only to be fol-
lowed by fresh misunderstanding on the part
of the managers of one or both roads, Ten
million dollars would be a moderate estimate
of the amount squandered in these unnecessa-
ry and often capricious quarrels, and on the
litigation growing out Of them. In railroad
quarrels it very seldom happens that any prin-
ciple is involved. Offended personal dignity,
the temptation to make short cut at the ex-
pense of a rival, or causes even more trivial
lie at the bottom of most of them. The many
quarrels of the Boston & Maine and Eastern
roads in years past are no exception.
There would be no diminution of facilities
for local travel, as we have stated, while be-
tween Boston and Portland facilities would
be increased. There would of course be econ
omy of management under single organiza-
ton while the public would fare better through
the adoption of a consistent and stable policy,
not liable to sudden changes, and not exposed
to outbreaks of caprice or cupidity on the part
of those who for the moment may be in author
ity. The tendency of rates of freight and
travel is to diminish rather than to increase,
as may be seen by the experience of roads
which have had an uninterrupted monopoly
from the beginning. Furthermore, the public
have constant safeguard against encroach-
ment upon its rights-frst, in the railroad
commissioners, whose constant supervision of
travel and traffic is check upon corporate
presumption; and second, in the Legislature,
which in this State goes to the extreme in its
jealousy of popular rights.

Yesterday Mr.. Lowering, the gift book agent,
appeared before Mayor Senter with his counsel
Gen. Mattocks, and requested to be allowed to
open his store, as the sale was not in violation
of law. City Solicitor Hale was called in and
the matter held under advisement. Hon.
W. L. Putnam considered the sale legal Mr..
Hale decided this morning as follows
Mr.. Coverings plan of sales as advertised is
not within the definition Of lottery and, if he
adheres strictly to his advertisement, the cannot
be convicted under our statutes and the deci-
sions because the giving away of the gifts is
discretion of the salesman, and is not governed
by chance, but very slight variance in prac.
tice from his advertised plan might render
him liable.
