Tho pencral [mpression was that thers had been o compro- mise, and, with n view of learning its uature, a TRINUNR reporter was Instructed to get the facts, It appears, however, that this fmpression had no foundation, the crediturs having beeome diegusted at the law’s delay, and consented to the discharge of the rule fn order that the suit agatnat the stockholders might be pressed. A summary of this remarkable case may not prove uninteresting. On the Oth of August, 1572, Judze Blodgett entered an onder against Smith to show cnuse nl:‘)' e should not turn over 54,2135, the order belng based on testimony taken beforo the Degister, lucluding that of “Suilth himselt, On the U0tk of Augtust following, this rule wus discharged without notfee to the attorneys for the creditors, upon 4_compromise entercd into between Normun C.

A few duys thercafter a decision was given, Judge Drum- niond hielding that, unless the matter could be esmicably arranged, the rute would have to be ruinstated—thot enough money haill not been puta over, aud thatthe right of thecreditors had not been sufllclently wuarded. After various efforts, extending over u period of wore than a year, comnsel for the creditors finally procured an order to be entered on the #lof February, 1874, In which the Clrenit Court decided that the rule nzalnst Siith. as originaily entered in the District Court, should be retnstated, In the meantioe the Natlonal Loun & Trust Company, of which Smitn was Presldent, came futo the Disteict Court uud proved up claims agalust the estate in bank- ruptey amounting to $260,000—clalns which, it is alléyred, had been purchased lor abont 10 cents on the dollar, and which the Natfonal Loau & Trust Company held were an offsct ta the money of the State Insurance Com- pany in the bauds of Ireasurcr Smith, ‘The effort was made Lo prove up the clalins for thelr face value, It was agreed between counsel that, subsequently, oil the proceedings should Le had before Judgo Drummond, and that whotever his decision was, it snould be entered in the Dis- trict Court, the object bejnge to save the costa of appeal, ete. After the rule had been relnstated the partics went hefore Judge Drummond and argued the question as to wicther the rule should be made ubsolute upon Sinith to pay over the balunce of the moncy in his possession,—the diference be- tween what had Ween pald by the Trust Com- pany and Hurlbut und’ 83321853, tho original sum fu_default. The Court did not render a deciston for nearly two years,—until th 34 of April, 1870, —when he declded that the rule should be made sbsolute unless Smith should appear before Register Hibbard nud submit to an oral exatmination under oath as to what ho was worth, and as_to whether hn was able to comply with the rule, On the same day 8mith appeartd and_ was interrogated, and on the 24th of June following the Meglster re- turned the testimony into Court with his report. in which he sald that the amount due irom Hinith to the Insurance Company wus 8171, 8734, including intcrest. The questfon wus atgued as to whether, by the showmp of Bmith's own cxamination, he could not pay over tho money It he wanted to, the attore neys. for. the ereditors fnsisting that the rule shuld be made nbsolute agalnst him v any cvent. This was In the month of June or July, 1876, Judge Drummond reserved his declsion. 8inco that time the creditors and the Assignee have called upon tho Court to give a decislon, and none having been rendered, they finully bee came tircd of wultliy, and consented to huve the rule discharged, Tho delay, it ts clalned, bas lost the creditors over 8100, What Induced them, Yerlmpu. nainly, to consent to this courae, was be fuct that ‘the District Court bad declined to allow the Assignee to proceed against tho stockliolders to vullect the balance duc untll the clafin against Bmith bad beep settley, sluce, i it were settled and paid, there would still be enough money in the bunds of the As- slgnce to pay off the'balance of the clalms.

There was due the estate when the litiration commenced the suw of about 8341,000 fn the lunds of Smith.

The record of sulctdes aud ntlempt at sulcide from Aug. 24 10 Uct. 16 Is remarkabie In the fact that the numnber of cases far exceed thoso in any Jike time in Lhe previous history of the city. Many reasuns are advanced for the ap- parent epldemle ot suicide, and it s urged that unless some " method Is devised to check It an fncrease tay by expected, The laws of Ene gland until within o comparatively short perfud were very severe agalnst felo dese. ‘The prop- erty of the suicde was conliscaled and the ntes of Clristinn burdul were dened the budy, which In many vascs was buried In the open ilghway with a stake driven through the breast,” ‘These laws were coufirined duriug the relun of Georze IV,, and were continued dn loree tnto the pres- ent century, when public opinton foreed thele disuse. 1t [sargued that the, scason known as Indlan summer bas the effect of stimmuiating sulcide; and Indeed the records of past years show more sulcides” during that perlod than at any other tinie of tho year. At any rate, what- ever tho cause, the death rate by sulelde during the past two mouths has been alarmiogly in- creaged, THUR RECORD. The record is nut only Interesting in ita statistics, but nlso In the varied nuturcof fts cases, ranging as they do from mere stupld Dbrutality to somonlmost unparalicled for roman- tic origuality.
