Startling Developments PrOmISed-The

PROVIDENCE, February 24.-'rhe Feb.
rusry term Of tho Supreme Court Of Wash.
ington county began yesterday at King.
sion Hill. The principal cases on the
docket were the petitions OF Kate Chase
sprague and Governor William sprague,
each praying for a divorce. In calling the
docket these two cases came at the tag end,
and Chief Justice Durfee asked II they
were to be tried.
Counselor Hazard said that 80 far as he
knew Mrs. Sprague's petition was ready
for trial, but that the other side had not
entered an appearance. Whereupon b.
W. Case, junior counsel for the Governor,
entered an appearance for himself, Gen.
Roger A. Pryor, oi New York; Elisha O.
Clarke, OF South Kingston, and LyCurgus
Sayles, Of Providence.
Judge Durfee then questioned the other
side as TO the counter.petition, and was In.
formed by Mr.. Clarke that 1t would be
tried. Mr.. Clarke also suggested that there
had been no appatanCe entered for the de.
Tense.
Mr.. Hazard, In reply, said that he had
not yet been retained for the. defense, but
he would suggest that the court examine
the citation and ascertain whether a notice
had been legally served on Mrs. Spfagne.
lie claimed that the mere fact that O copy
Of the citation had been left at Edgewo0d,
and In the hands OF an irresponsible per.
Bon at that, was not conclusive proof that
Bhe had been legally warned OF the filing
Of the counter.petitlon..
Mr.. Clarke said that the notice had been
made according TO law, and he was not
afraid to try the issue.
After much quibbling, IL was agreed that
4 motion bs made that the Court assign a
day for the trial Of Mrs Sptague's petition
In the not far future. Judge Patten re.
ceiyed the motion and inside OF week
will announce the day assigned by him.
II Ia more than probable that Steps will
be taken TO prevent the trial Of these cases.
Even now an effort Is being made 10 In.

Camden holds ont the Idea that no very
extensive contribution from the people
along the route is expected. They are,
however, asked TO raiss the means to make
survey aud secure the right Of way,
This Ia not an unreasonable
proposition when we consider
how much territory Is embraced in the
scope Of the proposed road. The money
asked for is to take the form either ofsub-
scriptions to the stock or to the bonds OF
the enterprise. In our opinion bonds
should be issued for such money as Is
wanted from the people Of this State,
They should be on an equality with the
syndicate that proposes TO build the road.
This Is nothing more than fair, Let there
be perfect equity in the enterprise from
the start, and thus enlist the largest
amount Of popular interest and support.
