May Be Stricken Out
DENVER. Col, Nov. 90.-In the case of
William 7. Roberts VS.. Mary Roberts the
court of appeals has decided that the di-
voroe granted by the lower court is void.

a new trial is now pending in the supreme
court. Mary Roberts, by this decision, is
declared the lawful wife OF the condemned

preme court. The probabilities are that
with Mrs. Roberts testimony stricken from

MORE LIGHT, PLEA Sc.

For several nights past there has
been no electric lighting of the streets,
and considerable complaint has been
heard concerning this lack. On
Thursday night of last week the
anchor ice so interfered with the ma
chinery at the electric light station
that neither the street, incandescent
nor commercial circuits could be oper-
ated, and but for the indirect inf1u-
enceS of the moon the streets would
have been in total darkness. On the
following night the commercial and
incandescent circuits were in work
ing order, but the street lights were
not available; since then, we believe,
the streets have been lighted buttwo
evenings. A marked feature of the
electric lights in streets is the extent
to which they are missed when they
fail to work, and the company which
contracts to furnish the lights here
should spare no effort to ensure a
service as reliable as possible. The
trouble in this case seems to lie in the
unreliability of the power depended
on; and this being so, steadier and
more reliable power should be adopt
ed. 1t has been proved over and
over again that the present power
can not be wholly relied upon, and
that in seasons of high water or at
times when the anchor ice gets in its
work, those who need the light must
go without it. There should be
changein power, and we believe that
a solution of the problem is to be
found in the adoption of steam pow
er. Certainly the village can not be
expected, from a business point of
view, to submit patiently to so fire.
quent failures of the light for which
it pays well, even though a rebate is
given when the light fails. Now
that the plant is owned by a local
corporation the addition of steam
power, either for occasional or per-
manent use, could be made easier
than when owned by the Thompson
Houston company, Massachusetts
corpora ton. The owners of the
plant are St. Johnsbury citizens and
it is for their interest as well as for
the consumers of the light, which is
usually satisfactory, to have the best
of service all the time.

A BAD FAILURE.

A bad financial break is reported
from Glover, in the failure of Geo. o.
Spalding, produce buyer, by which
not only Glover farmers suffer, but
manythroughout Orleans county, and
possibly some in Caledonia. Spalding,
according to a paragraph in the
Barton Monitor of this week, turns
out to have been a large borrower
of money, in sums all the way from
a few dollars to $1,000. He owed
numerous farmers quite heavily for
butter, sugar and other produce he
had bought of them, and it is said is
indebted to Craftsbury party who
bought butter for him to the extent
of nearly $1,000. The total indebted
ness is put at $1,000. Just how he
lost so much money cannot be figured
out by those who know him, but it is
thought he went into business be-
yond his ability to handle it. For
rural failure, it is large one, and
strikes hard among the farmers

when the receipts were $11 org 81.
