interests and a desire TO get him into her
power and his property into her posses

given her about S2,000 that against his
expressed will she had brought relatives
to his nome who had been maintained for
a long time at his expense; that tor twelve
years she had supported and educated n
grandson at his expense; that she was
Pawtucket and had done so
that for the past year she
has persistently tormented and abused
him. and in so doing she has been assisted
by the relatives who were supported at
his expense; that the reason he moved To
Riverside was to get rid of the continual
wrangling and if possible put n stop To it.
The wife asks for "A division of the estate

which her husband assents. In the Su-
preme Court this morning Judge Doug
las appointed j. IL. Nash trustee, who will

To Be Enlarged and Improved With Nj.
S. Gibson as Manager.

1t will be remembered that a short
time ago a new corporation was formed
for the purpose of erecting hotel on
Cushing's island, of which MI. u. W.
Clark is president and Mr.. Theodore Y.
Woodbury., treasurer. This company
has purchased the Ottawa house proper
ty and will proceed at once to make
great improvements. An elevator will
be placed in the building, which is great
ly needed, and there will be important
additions to the hotel.
The public will be glad to know that
the company have made arrangements
with Mr.. Montgomery S. Gibson, SO long
connected with the house and also with
the Preble house, to become it's general
manager. Mr. Gibson is so long and favor
ably known to the hotel world that 1t

and especially the summer travel. MI.
Gibson will be gladly welcomed back to
