HE HAS RESIGNED.
Col. W. ". Trass Resigns His POSI-
tIon In tae CoH.ieeaisi Asaa-.t CO.

Arcmore Postosflcr.

Oar people will ir surprised
to learn that Col. =. y. Trasl,
the vice president and general
manager OF the Coutinen al
Asphalt TO-, has resigned his
position. Coupled with tbs
announcement something OF n
sensation in the local political
ranks viii be occasioned by The
statement that the genial col
onel will be an active candi-
date for postmaster in this city
to succeed Judge Scott.
Colonel Trask had decided
some time ago 10 make Ard
more his permanent home and
to show his faith in the city h9-
invested largely in property
here. His most recent pur-
chase being the Renuie p..ce
OH Court street, which will be oc-
cupied by his family in March.
In discussing the poStotlicc
Imatter the colonel said that
numerous political and personal
friends in Chicago, New York,
| Washington aud elsewhere a.
we'll as at home bad assured
him OF their desire to reward
his political allegiance in some
manner and at their solicitation
he had decided 10 apply for
this Office.
Other positions were discuss
ed, which he was asked to be-
come a candidate for, but the
desire to round up his lie at
home with his family forbid him
accepting other propositions.
He will not make a fight for the
removal Of his clasi personal
friend, Judge Scott, whom he
admires very much, but will, in
the event OF n vacancy occur
ing, file such an application rs
will, he believes, carry the ap-
Ipointment in his favor.
His resignation with the COM
pany takes effect March l, d
he will be succeeded by his sou
William c. Trask, the well
known asphalt expert and min
ing engineer, who has been as
sociated with his father in as
pbalt matters for seven years
and who thoroughly under
stands the subject in detail.

Lodges and Eucampments Will Not
Join the Golden Gate Carnival
There was meeting of representatives
from the subordinate lodges, encamp-
ments and Rebekah lodges of order OF
Odd Fellows in Odd Fellows Hall on
Saturday night.
Grand Secretary George T. Shaw pre-.
sided and the several representatives pre-
sented the views of the bodies they repre-
sented in the matter of taking part in the
Golden Gate Carnival celebration.
1t was proposed to have an Odd Fellows
day on the Goth of April, the anniversary
of the founding of the order, and the
proposition was laid before the carnival
committee. That body announced its
willingness to do all it could in the way of
courtesy TO the order, but found upon con-
sultation that the date named could not
be designated as ''Odd Fellows day"
This having been reported TO the various
bodies it seemed 10 have had its effect,
for when the roll was called it was found
that fourteen subordinate lodges, three
encampments and one Rebekah lodge
were opposed to taking part in the carni-
val, that five subordinates and Rebekah
lodges were in favor of the proposition
and that three lodges were willing to go
with the majority.
That put a stop to any further action in
the matter, and the committee ad diourned
sine die.

THE ABBOTT kG2EE EMENT
Expert Kytka Says Her Mar.
riage Contract Was
Fabricated.
He Agrees With Expsrts Ames and
Cavalho in Regard to Erasures
On the Papsrs.

T. Kytka, an expert in photography and
handwriting, gave some strong testimony
in Judge Seawell's court yesterday against
the claims of Mrs. Nancy Abbott to be
the wife of Thomas NJ. Quackenbush. an
aged capitalist.
Mr.. Kytka swore that in his opinion the
so-calleu marriage contract between Mrs
Abbott and Mr.. Quackenbush was faD.i-
Gated document. He said that the paper
bearing Quackenbush's genuine signatu re
had formerly contained some other writ.
ing which tad been erased and that the
so-called contract had been written over
the first writing.
Another paper on which Mrs. Abbott
placed great reliance was designated as
the Th anksgiving acknowledge OF
marriage, which read as follows:
November 80, 1898.
Took my THANKSGIVING dinner with my wife
to-day. There Is no place for me like home.
May the Lord spare US To have many dinners
together. lsigned.l n. A. QUAcKENBUsH,
T. MO.
This was by Mr.. Kytka declared to be
also in the nature of a palimpsest. He
said that he could detect some of the orig
tnal words with the naked eye, and when
he applied the microscope he could clearly
discover that the original date was April
instead of November.
According to Mr.. Kytka's opinion the
work of erasure had been performed with
an ordinary rubber eraser, and he drew
attention TO the ''woolly" appearance of
the surface of the paper on which the diff
ferent contracts had been written. He
thought the signatures by Quackenbush
were genuine, but that when written they
were appended to orders for merchandise
and the like, as he was able to make out
parts OF words that would indicate such
70 be their nature. Mrs. Abbott admitted
that the contracts were written by herself,
so the logical conclusion, if the eras ures
had been made, was that she or some one
III her interest had done the work.
Experts Ames and Cavalho of New York
examined these disputed documents some
time ago, and gave 1t as their opinion that
they were false and fabricated, agreeing
substantially with the theory advanced
by Mr.. Kytka.
The taking of testimony was declared
closed, and argument by counsel will be
heard next Tuesday.

SIX HOMES WRECKED.
Half Dozen Suits for Divorce Wer,
Filed Yesterday,

Half q Dozen Suits for Divorce Were
Filed Yesterday.
Six more homes have been wrecked.
Six more households are darkened with
the elimination of marital storms and
disagreements. Six suits for divorce were
filed yesterday.
The names of the unhappy people are:
Colum bia Lemieux against Ambrose Le-
mieux, for desertion; Maude Myers
against II. H. Myers, cruelty; Dora E.
Ballard against J. P Ballard, failure TO
provide; Elise Johannsen against Arthur
f. Johannsen, neglect and desertion; Ida
L. Ronguy against Paul Roncuy, deser-
ton; Mary O. Connor against Jerry o Con-
nor, cruelty.
This brief record comprises within small
com pass an amount of life misery that
can scarcely be estimated. Each case
represents a marital tragedy than which
nothing earthly can be more bitter. With
out doubt marriage bells rang merrily at
the outset of these ventures in the matri-
monial lottery. The END is somber, en-
failing the contention of lawyers, orders
for alimony, delays of officers of the
courts, finally reaching the sought-for re-
lief expressed in decree of divorce, fol-
lowed almost invariably and usually quite
speedily by the remarriage of one if not
both OF the parties TO the separation.

to light the large amount OF work vet to
be done in the removal of the buildings.
The contractor for Rauer, slowly plodding
along, filled up this trench and this some
what excited Architect Shea. The next
move was 10 bring Rauer before the COM
mittee and try to have the work accele-
rated and also to have complete 1oD
made of it. With Rauer was the con-
tractor.
Rauer protested that he was not re-
sponsible for any delay and said that ne
would just as soon have a hundred men at
work. He also promised greater haste.
Architect Shea reminded the committee
that Mr.. Rauer had made similar prom
ises before and requested that he shos4n
sign paper Then Clerk Russell OF the
Board OF Supervisors drew up the paper
already mentioned, to which Rauer at
tached mis- signature, saying that he was
suited.
Architect Shea was suited and so was
the committee, which was happy condl.
ton of affairs all round. The salary of
the new Superintendent of Construction,
which is $3.50 per month, will begin as
soon as construction is actually begun.

appeared Jake" Rauer and Architect
Frank Shea. Shea had caused Mr.. Rauer
to be called to do something to speed him
in the clearing away of the debris from
the site upon which the new building will
stand. This purpose was accom- plished.
for before Rauer left the commitree-room
he had signed document OF which the
following is copy:
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16. 1897.
In consideration OF the material received of
the old City Hall building and the contract
made with the Mayor OF said City and County
to tear down the said building and remove ali
the material from said lot, I hereby authorize
the architect, Frank Shea, to remove all the
art. debris, brick or other material from said
lot and that eli expense incurred in the per-
formance OF said work will be met and paid by
me on demand OF said architect.
j. RAUER
Rauer, 1t will be recollected, secured the
material Of the old City Hall for $500
with the agreement that he should re-
move all the debris and all the old build
ings from the site, leaving clear site for
the new building. The old City Hall was
torn down and the debris accumulated ur-
on solid concrete floor. Instead of first
carting away the debris, the contractor to
whom Rauer had sublet the Job pulled up
the concrete in great blocks and moved
that.
Some time ago Architect Shea wanted
to view the foundations of the old build
ing, and secured an allowence of 500 from
the Supervisors to dig trench all around

pairing For . Great Victory.
Atlanta Constitution.
The Democrats of Ohio are prepar-
ing to throw over the "Old Man of the
Sea" next fall and to take the lead in
the Democratic procession toward the
White House in 1900.
That Mckinley is President and
Hanna his conscience keeper, since
the truth is known, only nerves Demo
Gratis to keep up the fight until as
sured victory is theirs. Mckinley
carried Ohio only by casting a heavier
vote than her poll lists entitled her to.
The same is true of Indiana, Illinois
and the other doubtful States. In
this was seen the work of the fat fry
ing by which the protected interests
were to be given renewed lease OF
power.
Now the people are awake, and the
Republicans find themselves in a
dilemma from which they cannot es-
cape. Men who had been deluded by
their promises are suffering the anger
of disappointment. The ranks OF the
party are split up by dissensions and
chickering's, while the rejuvenated
