womans PsiiiIon-Shs Fad Charge Of a
Boarding HOuss, llQuof Shop, ETC.

The Appellate Court in a decision
handed down today decides that Henry
Grimly Of Pawtucket did not support at
the hearing held a few days ago the
charges made in his petition for a di-
Vorce from Hannah Grimly. These
charges were that Mrs. Grimly had
been guilty of adultery excessive
drunkenness, and gross misbehavior
repugnant to and contrary to the mar
riage contract.
Mr.. Grimy's petition for a divorce is
denied.

was most of the time on the road. His
wife had charge OF a licensed liquor
saloon owned by him for years i'm Paw
tucket, ran candy shop and conduct
ed boarding house. and Mrs. Grimly
swore that on several occasions her
husband beat her and used very vile
language TO her.

Mr.. FARMELL REPORTS.
The Affairs of the New York National
Building and Loan Association.
Local Shareholders DO Not Find Much 10
Comfort Them In The Present Outlook.

The committee of the local sharehold-
ers I'm the New York National Building
and Loan association, which went To
New York few days ago in order to
ascertain more accurately why the
company had decided 10 do no further
business in Rhode Island, has returned.
and has reported to the shareholders.
The committee that went To New
York was composed OF Messrs. c. ID.
Harp and George Farnwell and in the
absence OF Mr.. Harp, who is in Balti-
more. the report was made by Mr.. Far
nell. He told OF the call made on Pres
ident j. n. Waters of the company.
According to what Mr.. Farnell told the
local shareholders there had been a
general scaling down of the assets OF
the company. Among these assets was
about $500, coo in real estate. and on
this item there was big shrinkage, in
fact, over $50. 900, as shown on the books
of the association.
The statement of the association fur
nished to the banking department of
the state of New York showed assets
or about SS50,000. OF this amount from
$4,000 TO s55,000 was deficit. OF the
Liabilities, speaking roughly, 100000 is
to shareholders. The loans on bonds
and mortgages amounts 10 $500. 900:
loans made on shares about SIC, 900, and
advances on real estate about 5000 900.
The banking department was at pres
ent engaged i'm looking over the ac-
counts of the association. and IL is
stated that there is not much probabil-
ity OF the association paying any with
drawals for the present.
According TO report that Mr.. Far
nell brought from New York, and which
the association intends to forward 10
all the shareholders i'm the near future,
IL appears that many properties would
not sell in the open market for the
amount of hard cash advanced on them
by the association. In order to bring
the assets down to a satisfactory basis,
the association will confine itself TO do
ing business in improved real estate
within a radius of % miles of New
York, and thus endeavor TO one more
reach dividend paying basis.
The shareholders, after hearing the
report, voted TO meet on Saturday next,
at p. m, at the office OF Mr. Farnell,
in the Banigan building, at which time
some course of action for the future
will probably be decided upon.

that this ride OF hundred miles, with the
fine fishing and hunting to be found on

surpassed. "Crossing Orange county TO

the shores OF Fairlee lake for two miles,
giving delightful scenery and a feeling Of
Joy that we live in this county. Crossing

we find ourselves in the Granite state. At
Wentworth, n. H., we end the first days
journey, having completed half the dis
lance. We seek the Burnham House,
where everything is modern and every at
tention paid that tired company could
ask for. As the journey is pursued the

pass many places OF interest that | have

tanning many fine residences and large
