Grimm, and sentenced to six years in state prison The Rockville correspond ent of the Springfield Republican says that State Attorney J. H. Reed of Stafford sprihgs recalved many compliments for argument wade in the case against Rogers in the saerior court. Itwas pronounced an able and eloquent plea by the judge, the attor1Pys and the spectators, and one that has seeldom been equaled in this court :
 The Ena divorce case, the trial of which was begun Tuesday, came to an abrupt termination. yesterday by the parties reaching sn agreement. Joel N. Enc, who applied for the divorce on the ground of intolersble cruelty, was on the stand when court opened in the morning and continued on the stand until in the after noon, when the court was informed that MT. Emo had, on the advice of counsel, withdrawn his suit, allowing Mrs. Enc to get the decree on the ground of intoler- able cruelty, she having filed cross con- plaint. Judge Elmer then granted her the divorce, giving her the custody of the daughter, 15 years old, and allowing MT. Enc to keep the son. who Is 9 years old. The case promised to be prolonged, since there were a number of witness on each side. Mir. Enc is now teaching school in Dalevills in the town of Willington, where his homo has been TOT the past Tew years, while he was librarian at Columbia University, New York city.
 The case of Wilbur F. Strong and wife against Robert Mannock is assigned for trial to-dsy. Itpromises to be an interest ing case, as 1t is for claim of Mrs. Will bur F.
