WANTS HIS CHILDREN.

rectly Interested Two Uns
happy HousehoIds On
Thanksgiving Day.

happy Households on
Thanksgiving Day.
NEW YORK, November 2S.-Up in West
,Eighty-fourth street, block from the park,
lives handsome blonde woman, and yes
terday she had with her to spend Thanks
giving her two suuny-haired little boys It
was not a very happy holiday, however,
with the occupants Of the second hat in the
big new apartment house, No. % West
Eighty-fourth street. The filing Of certain
legal papers in court yesterday has brought
gloom to that little household, and the
handsome mother of the two pretty boys
views with dismay the emblazonment Of the
peculiar life she is leading.
Mrs. Aline B. Smith, wife of j. Jay
Smith, is the woman, and Francis Il. Harte,
son of Bret Harte, is the man whose Thanks
giving eve was made miserable by the pro-
ceedings in court yesterday, which revealed
Q condition Of domestic ENHANCEMENT not
extraordinary by any means. but in some
respects unusual. The peculiar aspect OF
the case is that while j. Jay Smith, the
husband, charges his wife with living
with another man and bearing that other
mans name, he does not want divorce, and
is willing for her to continue as his wife in
him to have the control of their children.
She does not want to have anything
to do with him, and is content to live
as she is with a morganatic relation
ship to young Harte, and she
proposes to keep her children, too
"Joe" Smith married Aline Bouton in
this city February %, 1876. He was dap
per young man, with a slight, under-sized
figure, and she was medium-sized, hand--
some girl, with a neat, welI-rounded figure,
silky yellow hal. and big light blue eyes,
iringed with delicately arched brovs and
dark lashes. As time wore on two children
were born to them-Bouton, named after her
father, q saddlerv merchant here, and
Spencer G. They are now respectively 8
and years old.
Mr.. Smith is still as neat as q new pin,
but his trim little figure has lost its grace
of movement, As he is partially paraly1ed
in his lower limbs She is as handsome
as ever. with an oval face Of good COM
plexion and smile as beWitching as it
ever was, even before marital troubles,
quarrels and family fights cast any shad-
ows upon the horizon of their doInes-
ITCHY. These quarrels became 50 frequent
and bitter that at last the couple agreed to
separate, and on November IL, 1888, they
signed an agreement in the law Office of Mr..
W. II. Boughton. This agreement, how
ever, was to be only temporary. and the
separation which it provided for was to ex-
pire on May last.
In the meantime other young men had
come upon the scene, and Mrs. Smith con-
cluded that she would prefer to remain away
from the husband, who had been i'll and
was left q comparative invalid. She was
not dependent on him, as her father had
died and LETT her an income ample enough
for comfort. Lawyers have been consulted
time ana again by both parties, but no re-
conciliation could be effected.

COULDN'T CATCH CLAUS.
The Sugar Trust Finds Il Impossible to
Corner Its Greatest RIvnl-.Mr.
spreckeIs Sleeping With One
Eye Always Open-.W Why
He'a satlafied.

Eye Always OpenssWhy
He's Satisfied.
PHILADELPHIA, November GA ru-
NOR was current here yesterday that the
Sugar Trust had purchased all the domestic
molasses sugar in the country, amounting
to about 5000 TONS and that Claus Spreck-
els was in bad way. At the Office OF Har-
rison, Frasier & Co. and E. G. Knight 3
Co., the proprietors of the Philadelphia re-
6neries outside of the trust, it was stated
that the trust had been buying sugar re-
Gently and that an attempt had been made
to corner Claus Spreckels. A member of
the firm Of E. C. knight & Co. said that he
did not know whether this attempt would
prove successful.
The rumor attracted considerable at
tention, and was excitedly discussed in
sugar circles. Several of the leading whole
sale grOcers stated that the trust was IN
very strong position, and that it had re-
Gently been boarding its resources, probably
with view to resorting to master stroke
to hurt Spreckels. It was thought that this
stroke was the purchase Of all the domestic
molasses sugar.
Mr.. Spreckels was found at his office at
Water and Chestnut streets. He had spent
the entire morning at the refinery at the
foot OF Reed street. He said: "Yes, be-
lieve it is quite true that all the domestic
molasses sugar has been purchased by the
trust l heard so yesterday. The strust
thought they had me cornered-that l was
purchasing no other grades of sugar-but
they are mistaken. / have purchased do
mestic molasses sugar and will commence
operations with that grade, and I had con-
tracted for as much as needed before the
trust began the purchase. Not only
did I have as much domestic molasses
sugar as required, but I was able to ac-
commodate the Sugar Trust and let
them have 1000 tons that had boen secured
by me. Ny name does not figure in the
transaction, and this will doubtless be news
to the trust and you may be sure that they
had to pay good deal more for it than the
figures at which I had secured it. The price
paid by the trust for this sugar was far
above the market value, and l shall be sat-
isfied if they continue purchasing in the
same proportion.
II have made my engagements for sugar
purchases a long way ahead, and when I
have any surplus shall always be glad to
accommodate the trust; but they need not
imagine that shall do it for nothing, or
that am asleep. The difference between
what had paid for my portion of this mo-
lasses sugar and what the trust paid for it
was $40, ,000."
The Spreckels refinery will be started to-
morrow. Mr.. Spreckels announced to-
day that there was no need for further de-
lay.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2s.-The re-
ported intention of the members of the Will

THE WEST VIRGINIA CONTEST.

There IL No Probability Of Settlement
for Some Time.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, November "a
There Is now no probability that the extra
session of the Legislature to decide the
Gubernatorial contest will be called before
the middle of January, 1890, ii, then. The
Gubernatorial Contest Committee has been
nominally in session here for three weeks,
yet so far as can be learned nothing has
been done. The majority have not trans
mltted their report to the Governor, and he
refuses to act until they do so.
Republicans here are pleased with the
delay, and claim that every day the Demo-
Gratis lose is making Goff' position stronger
with the people.

OTTAWA, November 2S.-An idea of how
strongly public feeling is running in the di-

maritime Provinces of the Dominion may
be gathered from the following criticism of
the Eastern Chronicle. An influential
newspaper published an item on the pro-
posal to hoist the Canadian flag on the pub

says:

Not Since the War was Lancaster's Tax
Rate 30 Reasonable.

Rate 30 Rea8onable'
LANCASTER, PA, November 2S.-The
County Commissioners have fixed the county
tax rate for 1890 at 2mills, and in addition
called in $780, 900 of the outstanding county
bonds. The tax rate at mills is the lowest
since the war. The usual rate has been 3
mills, and for few years it was ~ mills.
By the payment Of $50, 900 the county debt
will be reduced to $15O,OO0. The valuation
OF property taxable for county purposes for
1890 is $S4, ,0O0, 900, against $50, 800, 900 in
1888, which makes a reduction in the tax
rate under such circumstances an unusual
occurrence.
The current expenses of the county have
been cut down $50, 900 year by the present
Board Of Commissioners
