.SKOWHEGAN VOTES.
Lively Town Meeting Was Held
on Saturday.
The Question Of Bridge Building 0nI,
Matter Considered.
Town Decides to Build One New Steel
Structure.

Skowhegan, Me-, April ia largely
attended special town meeting was held
here, Saturday, and it was voted not
to accept a new street as laid out by
the selectmen on the south side of the
river, from Mt. Pleasant avenue to the
end of the proposed new bridge, which
it was voted to build at the annual
town meeting. The vote stood 400
against and BIS for acceptance.
The result is the death knell of the
: project to build a bridge at the foot
of Kennebec street, this year at least.
The surprise of the meeting came
when it was voted to build a steel
s bridge across the north channel, and a
committee of eight was chosen to con-
fer with the selectmen as to the best
kind of structure to build. Later spe-
cial town meeting will be held to make
an appropriation for the bridge.
The meeting began at 10 o'clock
with three propositions before the
voters. The first proposition was for
bridge across the river at point
opposite the south end of Kennebec
street, more than 200 feet long, which
been laid out across Mount Pleasant
avenue, the Maine Central railroad
crossing the latter by an overhead
bridge, to east Front street. The en-
tire expense of this bridge and ap-
proaches was estimated at $4,000.
The second proposition was to build
: a bridge across the river where now
1.-THE old covered bridge of wood spans
stthe channel This bridge, while not
Z more than half as long as the first
= proposition, was to cost about $4,000,
: there being no expense for approaches.
..r Exposition number three was that
=H: fhe last proposition, and another
-sbridge across the south channel where
the present wooden covered structure
stands.
1.-The hackers of the first proposition
con4batted the two latter and the two
latter the first, while the second COM
batted the first and last.
MA great still hunt had been kept up
for weeks by the promoters of all
schemes named above, and when the
town meeting opened there was no
i. telling how the thing would end
Naturally, the farmers took a lively in
terest and the roads being in fairly
good condition a number of them were
at the meeting when time was called
All the propositions would cost about
100000.
The proposers of the second prOpo-
sition had an argument coming their
way in that the State railroad COM
missioners have condemned the old
wooden affair over the north channel
This bridge like that spanning the
south is used by the Skowhegan & Nor
ridgewock Electric Railroad and that
gave the commissioners a chance to
get a whack at the old bridge which
has stood for so many years that the
memory of the oldest inhabitant run
meth not to the contrary. 1t has been
repaired several times and now that
the repairs have begun to decay the
bridge is regarded as somewhat weak

NO NEW FEATURE.
Sunday Laws Being Quietly Observed
sy.,f in Lewiston.

Lewiston. Me-, April 12.-There was
no new feature of enforcement of the
Sunday laws, today. All places of buss
mess whichswAte ordered to observe the
Sabbath by Mayor Shelton, two weeks
ago, did in no way violate those or
ders. today. All fruit and confection-
cry stores were, closed, but the sale of
Supday papers and cigars has not been
stopped and1it is not likely that mat
tiers will be carried to that extreme
Certain newspaper reports that have
been published have been altogether
misleading. The statement that the
blue laws will be strictly enforced is
without foundation. 1t has been avery
quiet Sunday in Lewiston, today.

forces have recaptured Fort San Carlos
at the Lake Nicaragua entrance of the
San Juan river, and also the lake

BIG DISCOVERY.
Immense Tract of Coal Found in
Pennsylvania.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, April 12.-An immense
tract of coal has just been discovered in
Hanover township, in land owned by the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and
the Lehgh X Wilkesbarre Coal Company.
The tract has eight veins never before
found in the upper coal fields, while under
them are the II veins now worked in other
parts of the upper region.
1t is estimated that there are 300 000 go
tons of coal in the tract. The discovery
is by far the most valuable ever made in
the anthracite region since its general de-
velopment.
The fact of chief interest directly in the
region is that enough coal has been found
to give work to 10000 men for go years.
The market value at the present price Is
more than 81 000, 100000. 1t will cost about
$450, 900, 600 in wages to get the coal out.

stances from the beginning, so that the
marriage being annulled 1rom the begin
ming is looked upon for the most pur-
poses as never having existed, and In
other instances only from the period OF
dissolution.
The causes for divorce, which are very
numerous, can be found in Chapter 1M OF
the Code Of Virginia.
Upon decreeing the nu1Iity OF mar
riage, OF a divorce. either mensa or a
vincu1o matrimonif the court may make
such further decree as 1t shall deem ex-
pedient concerning the estate and main

children.
Where there Is no decree OF perpetual
separation In a divorce a mensa ct toro,
the parties remain In statu quo as to
their property. Il there is such decree
of perpetual separation, the property
rights are affected.
In general terms we win say that the
divorce yinculo natrtnonu. which
sewers the marriage tie, ends all the pro-
perty rights accruing therefrom. In other
words, the husband keeps what he has
and the woman does the same. unless. Of
course. the question OF a1Imony comes
in. The husbands rights to curtesy after
his .wife's death Is defeated by divorce q

In the case submitted. the husband has
no rights IN the property Of the wife. It
is her separate estate, and even If there
were no divorce. he would have no rights:
In it. save that Of curtesy. which. as we
have said. is defeated by divorce.
