QUACKENBUSH'S MARRIAGE
The Old Man Sincerely Hopes That II
Isn't SO
A Thrifty Landlady Is Not Content
With Room Rent and Foundry
Prices For Meals.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-When
Superior Judge Seawell renders a de-
cision in the case of Nancy A. Quack-
enbush VS.. Thomas M. Quackenbush,
which was on trial today, his findings,
subject to possible subsequent reviews
by appellate courts. will settle some
hazy problems.
The defendant, an aged capitalist,
who is bedridden and suffering from
ailments incident to senility. is deeply
concerned to know whether he will
reach his grave as a wid.ower or as the
departed consort of former landlady,
Mrs. Nancy Ann Abbott. Incidentally
he would like to know whether his past
relations with the woman who claims
to be his wife have snatched from his
only child and her husband three
quarters of a million of dollars.
The plaintiff who confesses to sixty
years of life, testified that she procured
a divorce from her husband in 1889, in
order to enter into a marriage contract
with her aged lodger. She produced
documents which her attorneys con-
tend are sufficient to prove the marriage
and she wants to know whether the
court will award her comfortable
maintenance, luxurious income during
life, and at the death of the defenda nj
one-half of his property.
The defendant will try to show that
the relations between the. woman and
himself were simply those of landlady
and tenant; that he paid SIG month
room rent, 25 cents for each breakfast
and Is cents for lunch. That upon va
rious pretexts Mrs. Abbott secured his

to politics save brief expression of
thanks by Liliuokalani in behalf of the
Hawaiian race for his action in with
drawing the annexation treaty which
was pending before the senate when the
president assumed his office four years
ago. Not one word was said about res
toration" either past, present or future
The ex-queen referred in feeling terms

late minister, whom he denominated
man "of sterling honesty" never afraid
to do his full duty. With a little further
talk of this kind the interview termi-
mated, and Liliuokalani returned to her

parishes in this State-his last being St.
James, in Richmond, which he left but
few years ago to accept flattering
call to Louisville. He is known
throughout the diocese as a courteous
gentleman, q fine preacher and sound
theologian. When the last Assistant
Bishop was chosen Mr.. Mason was a

would have been chosen. Mr.. Mason

ton to the bishopric would be most
gratifying to his hosts of friends not
