Juror Clarke announced that the verdict against Rockwell was for murder in the second degree. RjckwelTtook his Beat without showing any emotion, George Wainwright, the murdered man s son, stood up, and.was declared not guilty. Mary Emma Wainwright, his sister, was declared innocent of all connection with the killing of hor father. Her faoe grew white, and she took her seat and nearly buist into tears. Charlee Wainwright and his mother, tho widow of the murdered yian, were next, declared innocent. REPORTED TO BE AFFLICTED WITH AN INCURABLE DISEASE, JTuxtinodon, Pa., March 2.—Throe men, two of their names unknown, but evidently a tiormaa and on American, the third a Frenchman giving the name of 41. Faurnand, who has but recently arrived from Paris, have for sov oral days been experimenting hi a secluded portion of the Diamond valley with machinery for the more certain use of nitro-glycerine and other highly explosive compounds. The trio quietly took their departure westward yesterday afternoon. An American had been here with a party in December last, who at that time made several tests with a compound called nitro-petrolino, but on this occasion neither he nor the German could be induced to engage in conversation. The ""■enchmau, however, in order to secure nec■ssiiy information, was obliged to confide, though guardedly, in two or three persons. He claimed to be the inventor of the machinsry he wa-i touting, and for which, when perfected, ho will receive an immense sun if mon«y from thij Nihilists of Russia, the inuM-nationals in Germany and France and he Dynamiters iu America. The contrivance consists of a wick saturated with a aighly inflammable wax and coiled couoenrically on a roller. It is uncoiled by a ipring, which, in turn, is governod by clockwork gearing; the part last unwound burns with a flash, igniting the oxplosivo with ivhicU. it communicates. The timo ij controlled by the length of tho wick or fuse. Th-s object now is to regulate its burning, an . thn has been very nearly accomplished, several very satisfactory explosions having been nrndo. Tho Amorican and the German arc the ogiuts of tie societies that employ M. Fajrnand and are to report upon the results. They prD from here to Pittsburg and then o to 0 n 'innati and Chicago.

New York, March 3.—An Albany special to Tho World says: Presidentelect Cleveland is prepared for his journey to Washing ton to be inaugurated. He was busy all Sunday in putting.the finishing touches to his inaugural address and supervising the packing up of trunks, boxes tod valises. His persona! effects were shipped by express this morning. A tag with the words, "Grovef Cleveland. Washington, D. C.." is attached to each trunk and parcel. When or how he will take hi1? departure ft still kept a secret. No one rooms to know when he will leave here for the capital or by which route he will go. If hi lia-i decided upon plans for the journey l hoy are guarded with every care to preveni them from being made public. Mr. Cloveland apjiears to be determined to make the trip to Washington in as quiet and unostentatious a manner as possible. The probability is that he will slip away from Albany end arrive in Washington without fuss oil the way. He does not contemplate being accompanied by representatives of the pre s. It is believed by many of Mr. Cleveland's friends that he may possibly leave here to-nigh1. The programme for tho past week ha* been that he would take his departure on Tucsdav morning.- arriving in Washington earl? that evening. This programme may yel i« carried out. Mr. Cleveland remained i'ul tors all day. He did not receive any visitors.BE DONE IN A BIG WAY.

Washington, March 2.—Marshal Slocum has published his order for tho procession on the 4th of March, from which its large dimensions appear very clearly. There are to he four divisions, of which the second is subdivided into three brigades, and the fourth into six brigades. There will be at least 138 separate organizations in line, ranging in dimensions from regiments of militia, or such great political organizations as the County Democracy, of New York, to tho Columbus Glee cilib or the select party from Gorbam, Me. The aggregate number in line, it is estimated, will bo between 20,000 and 25,0J0. The avenue is to be kept clear from curb to curb—that is, if possible. Generally attempts to keep the people on the sidewalks have failed, but the head of tho procession will doubtless have all the desired elbow room. After a platoon of police will come the sliol and his staff, and next the presidential party. This nucleus will have a very long ta.il, In the first division are the regulars and the district militia. The second division , is composed of the 184 companies of Pennsylvania militia. The third embraces the other military organizations, about 40 in number, including three regiments from Virginia and one each from Maryland, Now York, and Ohio. New York, March 2.—All the morning papers contain long accounts of Gen. Grant's" health, and all of them, with the exception of The Herald, report his medical advisers at saying the gecertd cannot live more than three months. The Herald contains the following interview with Dr, John H, Douglas, Gen. Grant's medical adviser since la"i fVtember:"I am reported as saying that I expect (Jen. Grant to die within three months. I never said so. I know that the general is Q very sick man, and it is quite likely that if this faintnoss continues for some time ha will die from utter prostration. Speaking, nowever, ordinarily, there is no immediate danger. I had a patient some time ago, a man whose throat was in a much worse condition, and ho lived for 15 month* and then die* from exhaustion. Gen. Grant is able to take food, not of a very solid kind, but still enough to sustain him. His relapse has been aaused largely by worry and mental trouble occasioned by Grant & Ward's affairs and other personal matters. Up to about a week ago ho has been able to work upon an average eight hours a flay upon his military memoirs, and he expects to resume this literary work again as soon as he has a little more strength. The cama of tho general's ill health is a cancor of the throat, and at the time it first presented itself ho was not in a good physical condition. Ho had previously been suffering from a slight attack of pleuro-pneumwia. boils and an injury of his hip, occ&sioao4 by a foil,-' Nrw York, March 2.-1416 Sun's Albany correspondent says: Strong as the belief appears to be in New York that Mr. Wm. C. Whitney is to enter the cabinet, the pressure of opinion here is equally strong toward the belief that no post has yet been offered to bim. At the little pafkside mansion neither confirmation nor contradiction of the assertion that New York state is to supply two members of the cabinet, and that Mr. Whitney is to be one, can be obtained. Despite the publication by two newspapers of what is heralded as the cabinet of March 5, it is today again confidently asserted here that Mr. Cleveland has made up his cabinet to this oxtsnt and no further: Secretary of state, Senator Bayard; secretary of the treasury, Daniel Manning; secretary of the interior, L. Q. C. Lamar; attorney general, Senator A. H. Garland. It is senseless, where nothing is known positively, to say that Mr. Whitney will not be a cabinet officer, or that Messrs. Vilas, Endicott, McClellan, or even Senator Thurman are equally certain not to bo choson. All that can bo said Is -hat those who are in the atmosphere of the president-elect's little circle of confidential friends, and who have again' and again proved themselves familiar with the general drift of things in (hat circle, assert to-day that they do not think Mr. Whitney has yet been determined upon for the navy or for any other place, and that there is nothing to prove, or even to point to, the correctness of these cabinet makers who put Endicott down for the war department and Vilas for the post office. On the other hand. Col. Vilas has notified the students before whom he delivers his annual lecture at home that he will continue and finish his course. Mr. Endicott's friends have not dragged a word from him • in confirmation of the story that he has accepted a portfolio. Thurman, whes* name is once again boing whispered here in circles twice removed from correct information, is a man of an age which, it is believed Mr. Cleveland has resolved not to subject to the strain of departmental affairs, and Gen. McClellan is commonly understood to be slated for an offico outside of the cabinet, nothing to the contrary being heard from any respectable authority. It is understood that in Washington Prosidont-elect Cleveland Is to meet certain Democratic senators and leaders for the purpose of conferring with them on tho matters yet undetermined in his mind. Messrs. Endicott and Vilas will be there, and in all probability will know before they go to bed exactly who are tho seven men to enter the cabinet Then it will bo seen whether the natural claims of Mr. Whitney and the strong in his behalf have been availing. The inaugural message will be read aloud. It Is understood that its reading will only occupy about 15 minute®. A picture of the scene of which Mr. Clevo-3a id is now tho central figure will be of in IdFest when it is considered that, in all prob. ability, within another 24 hours he will be hastening to Washington to be installed ns president. The glimpse that is to be had of ldm is especially notablo by contrast with the scone in W#shtngtop, where the politicians are quivering witii the excitement of tho impending display, the approaching disclosure of the elements that are to enter into the new government and the dread and doubt of the army of present officeholders with regard to tliat which will, follow all this, and will be of yot greater interest to them. The bouse toward which all eyes arc turned, and in which Mr. Cleveland lives, has often been described. It is narrow, low and not pretentious. The neighboring houses on either tide are «m»ll brick residences, occupied by familiar in oomfortable, though not luxurious, circumstances. Tho street appears to ba the very verge of Albany, for opposite the row of houses in the big silent city park, a sheet of spow pierced hare and there by n iked, black bodied trees. All day long the slanting lines of a spring rain storm have been directed against the little dwelling, and hare kept it, like every other thing that is exposed to the elements in Albany, glistening and dripping. Occasionally during tho long, dull day some man or woman hurrying along beneath an umbrella has passed the house. At 10% o'clock, and again two hours later, a double score of persons passed on their way to tii» fashionable church on the next block, the worshippers in which came in far greater numbers from all other directions, for tho thickly built city is behind and at the sides of tho edifice. Cot lamont, who lives a few blocks away, went in and out of tho door two or three times during the day. Except for (hot it might have been said that no one so much as came to sea the outside of the (JweUln~.▲ CAK1).—'To aJl who are suffer"n* from errors and Indiscretions of youth, nervous weakness early decay, lo»« of bl«od, ic., I will send a reclpt that will cure yon, FRFK OF CHABGK.

Pennsylvania monopolizes the third, and here again makes the largest showing of any stato in tho union in number of organizations, and ft may be in point of size also. Maryland has tho fourth brigade, and Virginia most of the fifth. The feature of the sixth will be a troop of cavalry representing tho 219 Cleveland electoral votes. Finally there will be a fino turnout by the firemen of New York city and the District of Columbia. It is worth remarking that there is not a company, either military or civic, from Indiana, and outside of the New York city troops and political clubs, very few from New York.

About * baker's dozen of candidates are in the field, waiting and working for the lightning stroke. However, only five or six show material Strength. They will show upon first ballot about thus: Deny, Dunn, Fishback, Hoorilt and Newton. As the contest ripens, the leader will undoubtedly be left, and the race finally narrowed down to Fishback and Dunn, with chances in favor of the latter, unsess a new man is sprung.

Henry Ward Beeclier'a Prayer. Brooklyn, March 2.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecber, in his opening prayer, was almost overcome with emotion in referring to the approaching death of Gen. Grant. He said: Thou hast laid upon our hearts a great desire and a vehement petition for him that lies in sickness, before whom, ere long, opens the gate to let iiim forth from life. Thou hast granted hi"' to be of great service to this day and land, and by him thou hast borne the banner of victory and thou bast out af darkness wrought light and oat of confusicd order. Thou hait laid upon thy servant a very heavy yoke and burden, and now through suffering he draws near to the end thereof. God be gracious to him and fill his room with divine presence, and give to his soul the conscIousiibw of God's forgiving love. May he be patient and gentle, looking ever more to the better life. May ho endure to the end, and rise through the unspeakable bounty and grace of Jesus to the immortality of the bleesed. May all thy servants reqiember Kim who remembered them in the dark days, and grant, we beeeech thee, that hla family-may bo prepared and blessed for thy will Carton's Patent G&s-iight Hot Air Furnace. Everything is on a vast scale. The committee have been measuring the capacity of Pennsylvania avenue, and they say they are realy to provide foi 175,000 spectators on tho broad sidewalks of that street, not to spook of the stands, windows and roofs. There will be, as mentioned, upward of 25,000 men in line. There will be about 100 bands and drum corps. Extra policemen are to be sworn in by tho hundred. Railroad managers are talking of passenger .traffic in six figures. The hotels have thousands of extra cots, and engage special .help in platoons.

Even the thieves and pickpockets are expected in large numbers, and an effort will be made to meet them with proportionate attention. It will be a glorious and patriotic spectacle, and if there are 100,000 visitors in town, and each leaves $10 here on an average, it will be wortlr$l,000,000 to the district. Senator Lamar's Absent Mlndcdnesa. New York, March 2.—The Tribune's Albany special savs that Mr. Lamar, when asked for information about his visit to Mr. Cleveland, replied: "I would be glad to say something about ray visit, but really cannot." Mr. Lamar furnished a good .example of thC absent mindedness of which so much has beet said lately.

He neglected to buy a ticke. until he found that he could not be admitted to the train without one. jjS ss DCji * an T Pardon Ilroltera in San Francisco.

Butler. The con«n:ttee further state that for 1879,the year of the $21,868 deficit, Gen. Butler made no financial statement of the affairs of the home. On Friday Gen, Rosecrans telegraphed Gen.

A constant stream of carriages drove up to his residence, bringing friends, to whose inquiries the same answer was given: Strasbourg, March 2.—The police of this city have for some time past had under surveillance persons whom they suspectod were secretly engaged in enlisting recruits for the British army in Egypt, and to-day w arned the recruiting agents that further prosecution of their mission would subject the offenders to arreit and imprisonment. New Orleans, March 2.—Thomas J. Navin, ex-mayor of Adrian, Mich., for whose capture a reward of $1,000 by that city, and &?,000 by Lenawee county, was offered, was arrested by detectives here. Detective interest iu the matter had entirely died out until two weeks ago a dispatch was received from Sau Francisco stating Navin hail purchased a ticket for this city. The trains were watched, and when arrested thi3 afternoon he admitted that ho was tho man wanted and was willing to return without a requisition. He has residod during the past two years at Port Townsend, W. T., and is charged with extensive forgeries committed in ljj82. He said he was tired eluding arrest and intended to surrender after viewing the exposition.. "The general is seriously ill, but not in much pain to-day."

There hie been a general domand' for his photograph from all parts of the country. He has parted with all he had, and none are to be founc among his friends. •* * Women Fxperta In the Treasury. Washington, March 2.—The operation of fixing the denominations of the charred and ruined notes found ill t ho safes of tho express company after the late railroad accidont near Washington keeps the women exports in the treasury pretty busy. It is done solely by women, and so superior is their skill in handling paper money that they accomplish results that would be utterly unattainable without them. It has been found by long experience that a counterfeit may go through half the banks in the country without being detected until it comes back, often torn and mutilated, into the hands of the treasury women. Then it is certain of detection. They shut their eyes and feel of a note if they suspect it. If it feels wrong, in half a minute they point out the incongruities of the c6unterfeit. Dr. Fordyce Barker wu"s that while he gards Gen. Grant's malady as necessarily fatal, his will power may sus- tain him longer than any ordinary man, and ha iiD therefore unable to estimate the time which will elapse before dissolution.

REPORTED TO BE AFFLICTED WITH AN INCURABLE DISEASE, JTuxtinodon, Pa., March 2.—Throe men, two of their names unknown, but evidently a tiormaa and on American, the third a Frenchman giving the name of 41. Faurnand, who has but recently arrived from Paris, have for sov oral days been experimenting hi a secluded portion of the Diamond valley with machinery for the more certain use of nitro-glycerine and other highly explosive compounds. The trio quietly took their departure westward yesterday afternoon. An American had been here with a party in December last, who at that time made several tests with a compound called nitro-petrolino, but on this occasion neither he nor the German could be induced to engage in conversation. The ""■enchmau, however, in order to secure nec■ssiiy information, was obliged to confide, though guardedly, in two or three persons. He claimed to be the inventor of the machinsry he wa-i touting, and for which, when perfected, ho will receive an immense sun if mon«y from thij Nihilists of Russia, the inuM-nationals in Germany and France and he Dynamiters iu America. The contrivance consists of a wick saturated with a aighly inflammable wax and coiled couoenrically on a roller. It is uncoiled by a ipring, which, in turn, is governod by clockwork gearing; the part last unwound burns with a flash, igniting the oxplosivo with ivhicU. it communicates.

Iti-aoureea of Civilization." ANOTHER GUESS AT PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S CABINET. New York, March 3.—An Albany special to Tho World says: Presidentelect Cleveland is prepared for his journey to Washing ton to be inaugurated. He was busy all Sunday in putting.the finishing touches to his inaugural address and supervising the packing up of trunks, boxes tod valises. His persona! effects were shipped by express this morning. A tag with the words, "Grovef Cleveland. Washington, D. C.." is attached to each trunk and parcel. When or how he will take hi1? departure ft still kept a secret. No one rooms to know when he will leave here for the capital or by which route he will go. If hi lia-i decided upon plans for the journey l hoy are guarded with every care to preveni them from being made public. Mr. Cloveland apjiears to be determined to make the trip to Washington in as quiet and unostentatious a manner as possible. The probability is that he will slip away from Albany end arrive in Washington without fuss oil the way. He does not contemplate being accompanied by representatives of the pre s. It is believed by many of Mr. Cleveland's friends that he may possibly leave here to-nigh1. The programme for tho past week ha* been that he would take his departure on Tucsdav morning.- arriving in Washington earl? that evening. This programme may yel i« carried out. Mr. Cleveland remained i'ul tors all day. He did not receive any visitors.BE DONE IN A BIG WAY.

Washington, March 2.—Marshal Slocum has published his order for tho procession on the 4th of March, from which its large dimensions appear very clearly. There are to he four divisions, of which the second is subdivided into three brigades, and the fourth into six brigades. There will be at least 138 separate organizations in line, ranging in dimensions from regiments of militia, or such great political organizations as the County Democracy, of New York, to tho Columbus Glee cilib or the select party from Gorbam, Me. The aggregate number in line, it is estimated, will bo between 20,000 and 25,0J0. The avenue is to be kept clear from curb to curb—that is, if possible. Generally attempts to keep the people on the sidewalks have failed, but the head of tho procession will doubtless have all the desired elbow room. After a platoon of police will come the sliol and his staff, and next the presidential party. This nucleus will have a very long ta.il, In the first division are the regulars and the district militia. The second division , is composed of the 184 companies of Pennsylvania militia. The third embraces the other military organizations, about 40 in number, including three regiments from Virginia and one each from Maryland, Now York, and Ohio. New York, March 2.—All the morning papers contain long accounts of Gen. Grant's" health, and all of them, with the exception of The Herald, report his medical advisers at saying the gecertd cannot live more than three months. The Herald contains the following interview with Dr, John H, Douglas, Gen. Grant's medical adviser since la"i fVtember:"I am reported as saying that I expect (Jen. Grant to die within three months. I never said so. I know that the general is Q very sick man, and it is quite likely that if this faintnoss continues for some time ha will die from utter prostration. Speaking, nowever, ordinarily, there is no immediate danger. I had a patient some time ago, a man whose throat was in a much worse condition, and ho lived for 15 month* and then die* from exhaustion. Gen. Grant is able to take food, not of a very solid kind, but still enough to sustain him. His relapse has been aaused largely by worry and mental trouble occasioned by Grant & Ward's affairs and other personal matters. Up to about a week ago ho has been able to work upon an average eight hours a flay upon his military memoirs, and he expects to resume this literary work again as soon as he has a little more strength. The cama of tho general's ill health is a cancor of the throat, and at the time it first presented itself ho was not in a good physical condition. Ho had previously been suffering from a slight attack of pleuro-pneumwia. boils and an injury of his hip, occ&sioao4 by a foil,-' Nrw York, March 2.-1416 Sun's Albany correspondent says: Strong as the belief appears to be in New York that Mr. Wm. C. Whitney is to enter the cabinet, the pressure of opinion here is equally strong toward the belief that no post has yet been offered to bim. At the little pafkside mansion neither confirmation nor contradiction of the assertion that New York state is to supply two members of the cabinet, and that Mr. Whitney is to be one, can be obtained. Despite the publication by two newspapers of what is heralded as the cabinet of March 5, it is today again confidently asserted here that Mr. Cleveland has made up his cabinet to this oxtsnt and no further: Secretary of state, Senator Bayard; secretary of the treasury, Daniel Manning; secretary of the interior, L. Q. C. Lamar; attorney general, Senator A. H. Garland. It is senseless, where nothing is known positively, to say that Mr. Whitney will not be a cabinet officer, or that Messrs. Vilas, Endicott, McClellan, or even Senator Thurman are equally certain not to bo choson. All that can bo said Is -hat those who are in the atmosphere of the president-elect's little circle of confidential friends, and who have again' and again proved themselves familiar with the general drift of things in (hat circle, assert to-day that they do not think Mr. Whitney has yet been determined upon for the navy or for any other place, and that there is nothing to prove, or even to point to, the correctness of these cabinet makers who put Endicott down for the war department and Vilas for the post office. On the other hand. Col. Vilas has notified the students before whom he delivers his annual lecture at home that he will continue and finish his course. Mr. Endicott's friends have not dragged a word from him • in confirmation of the story that he has accepted a portfolio. Thurman, whes* name is once again boing whispered here in circles twice removed from correct information, is a man of an age which, it is believed Mr. Cleveland has resolved not to subject to the strain of departmental affairs, and Gen. McClellan is commonly understood to be slated for an offico outside of the cabinet, nothing to the contrary being heard from any respectable authority. It is understood that in Washington Prosidont-elect Cleveland Is to meet certain Democratic senators and leaders for the purpose of conferring with them on tho matters yet undetermined in his mind. Messrs. Endicott and Vilas will be there, and in all probability will know before they go to bed exactly who are tho seven men to enter the cabinet Then it will bo seen whether the natural claims of Mr. Whitney and the strong in his behalf have been availing. The inaugural message will be read aloud. It Is understood that its reading will only occupy about 15 minute®. A picture of the scene of which Mr. Clevo-3a id is now tho central figure will be of in IdFest when it is considered that, in all prob. ability, within another 24 hours he will be hastening to Washington to be installed ns president. The glimpse that is to be had of ldm is especially notablo by contrast with the scone in W#shtngtop, where the politicians are quivering witii the excitement of tho impending display, the approaching disclosure of the elements that are to enter into the new government and the dread and doubt of the army of present officeholders with regard to tliat which will, follow all this, and will be of yot greater interest to them. The bouse toward which all eyes arc turned, and in which Mr. Cleveland lives, has often been described. It is narrow, low and not pretentious. The neighboring houses on either tide are «m»ll brick residences, occupied by familiar in oomfortable, though not luxurious, circumstances. Tho street appears to ba the very verge of Albany, for opposite the row of houses in the big silent city park, a sheet of spow pierced hare and there by n iked, black bodied trees. All day long the slanting lines of a spring rain storm have been directed against the little dwelling, and hare kept it, like every other thing that is exposed to the elements in Albany, glistening and dripping. Occasionally during tho long, dull day some man or woman hurrying along beneath an umbrella has passed the house. At 10% o'clock, and again two hours later, a double score of persons passed on their way to tii» fashionable church on the next block, the worshippers in which came in far greater numbers from all other directions, for tho thickly built city is behind and at the sides of tho edifice. Cot lamont, who lives a few blocks away, went in and out of tho door two or three times during the day.

Finally there will be a fino turnout by the firemen of New York city and the District of Columbia. It is worth remarking that there is not a company, either military or civic, from Indiana, and outside of the New York city troops and political clubs, very few from New York.

They will show upon first ballot about thus: Deny, Dunn, Fishback, Hoorilt and Newton. As the contest ripens, the leader will undoubtedly be left, and the race finally narrowed down to Fishback and Dunn, with chances in favor of the latter, unsess a new man is sprung.

Henry Ward Beeclier'a Prayer. Brooklyn, March 2.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecber, in his opening prayer, was almost overcome with emotion in referring to the approaching death of Gen. Grant. He said: Thou hast laid upon our hearts a great desire and a vehement petition for him that lies in sickness, before whom, ere long, opens the gate to let iiim forth from life. Thou hast granted hi"' to be of great service to this day and land, and by him thou hast borne the banner of victory and thou bast out af darkness wrought light and oat of confusicd order.

Grant's condition during tho day was much improved. A constant stream of carriages drove up to his residence, bringing friends, to whose inquiries the same answer was given: Strasbourg, March 2.—The police of this city have for some time past had under surveillance persons whom they suspectod were secretly engaged in enlisting recruits for the British army in Egypt, and to-day w arned the recruiting agents that further prosecution of their mission would subject the offenders to arreit and imprisonment. New Orleans, March 2.—Thomas J. Navin, ex-mayor of Adrian, Mich., for whose capture a reward of $1,000 by that city, and &?,000 by Lenawee county, was offered, was arrested by detectives here.

Washington, March 2.—The operation of fixing the denominations of the charred and ruined notes found ill t ho safes of tho express company after the late railroad accidont near Washington keeps the women exports in the treasury pretty busy. It is done solely by women, and so superior is their skill in handling paper money that they accomplish results that would be utterly unattainable without them. It has been found by long experience that a counterfeit may go through half the banks in the country without being detected until it comes back, often torn and mutilated, into the hands of the treasury women. Then it is certain of detection. They shut their eyes and feel of a note if they suspect it. If it feels wrong, in half a minute they point out the incongruities of the c6unterfeit. Dr. Fordyce Barker wu"s that while he gards Gen. Grant's malady as necessarily fatal, his will power may sus- tain him longer than any ordinary man, and ha iiD therefore unable to estimate the time which will elapse before dissolution.
