More Remonstrances Overruled In the Marble Diteh Case.

Judge Marvin resumed court Monday morning and what is expected to be a long grind in sifting the Marble ditch remonstrances was begun. His first action was to overrule several moreremonstrators that had filed objections after their time limit had expired. There are now only a very few remonstrators left on this side of the river and it is doubtful if they will make a fight The list is almost narrowed down to the Lake and Porter county objectors and these will be taken up in order and disposed of as rapidly as possible. The only thing that could result in defeating the ditch would be a reduction of assessments sufficient to cut down the total bek>w the cost of construction. This is very improbable. . In fact, the need of , the improvement is so apparent to all who have investigated it, and the work of the viewert seems to have been so equitable as far as tested, that it is not expected material changes will be made from the report filed several months ago with the clerk of the court.
