SOMERvILLE. N. J.. Oct. 5.-There Is
another postponement In the j. Coleman
Drayton divorce proceedings. and now
no one knows when the Issue will be
Ioined. The answer by Mrs. DraytOn to
her husbands petition for divorce has
not been filed. nor will 1t be filed to-
morrow which day. until this afternoon,

ming Of the same. This afternoon the

man, counsel for Mrs Drayton. had made
another application for an extension of
time beyond to-morrog In which to file
her answer.
Mr.. Shipman asked for only few days,
but as a matter of professional courtesy
Mr.. Clark has agreed to extend the day
for filing the answer to November lst.
This is the second time that counsel for
Mrs. Drayton has asked for n postpone
ment, and while Mr.. Clark Is perfectly
willing to be fair and honorable he says
positively that he will not submit to any
further delay.
Mr. Shpmans reason for delay is not
known, but II Is thought he expected
Mrs. Drayton to arrive from Europe on
October LIST, and her failure to do so, and
the impossiblity of counsel seeing her
are the reasons generally assigned for his
asking a second extension of time.

NEW YORK, oct. 5.-In the United

banking and brokerage firm OF Stanton

receiver is asked for because it is be-
lieved that the assets Of the company
would be better taken care of in his

II turns out that straltened finances

A note for 5000 held by a western bank,
is said 10 have fallen due two or three
weeks ago. Payment was demanded, but
Conn & stanton could pay only 500 and
gave small notes extending over a pro-
tracted period for the remainder.
The firm had handsomely engraved

tensivelv. In the case Of the Connecticut
bank mentioned, the collateral for the
note was 5000 Illinois Central 4 per

The debenture company was a creation
