FHERE is excitement among the
dwellers in the vicinity of Clay
and Franklin streets over the re-
port that Marchand has rented
the Schwabacher house at 1920 Clay
street for rest hurant purposes and con
templates conducting there a similar
establishment TO the one he had before
the fire at Geary and stockton streets.
The Schwabacher home is one of a
block Of handsome residences owned
by some of the best known and most
exclusive people in the city. a number
Of whom expect to make their perma-
nent homes there, in spite of the fact
that 1t is on the edge of the burned
district, and they are up in arms at the
idea of a French restaurant fourishing
in their midst
The house is next to the corner of
Franklin, on Clay street. and directly
next to the home of Gordon Blanding
which is rented for the present to the
Family Club. It is understood that an
exclusive woman's club is also soon to
locate in that block
There are other troubles for the
dwellers in this block. A house was
rented. supposedly to a reputable fami-
ly for dwelling purposes. but it has be-
come known that in reality it was Sc
cured for one of the most notorious
characters in the city and for purposes
inimicel TO an exclusive residence sec
tion. The owner offered to refund the
money, but there are prospects of a
lawsuit before the Objectionable per-
son is finally disposed of.
There are others who are prepared to
protest against Marchand's, should the
place be actually established there, and
the respectability of the neighborhood

~ EMO, New. July 30.-Mrs Will
liam Ellis Corey, wi9e of the
steel trust magnate, has won
her suit for divorce and the
custody of her 16-year-old son. In the
District Court here today. just three
hours were consumed in disposing of
the case by Judge B. F. Curler and a
jury. Desertion was the only cause
of complaint alleged and no alimony
was demanded.
No testimony was addueed for the
defense. There were no closing argu-
mentsS and the jury took up less than
five minutes in-deciding that the wife
was entitled to all she asked. Alto
gether it was a disappointing day for
Reno. whose citizens had expected the
trial to last week at least, and to be
prolific of sensational, not to say
salacious, developments.
The nearest approach to anything in
that line was the sworn statement OF

from the State court to the highest
tribunal of the land Moreover, the
mere act OF granting the writ acts as a
supersedeas and nothing is left to do
but fix the bond. The State Judge is
sustained by all precedent In this case
there is no question that $4,000 is
sufficient bail. This was fixed by an
other Judge and was suggested by Col
lins in my court when Mr. Cook was
present AT that time no objection was
made"

RETIRING SUPERINTENDENT CIV

PLoYEs OF WYOMING
DIVISION TO-DAY.
Handed Certified Check for Nearly
Thirty-five Hundred Dollars Con-
tributed by Men With Whom He
Had Associated for Several Years
A Former Laramie Brakeman
Killed at Missoula-Railroad Notes

Former Superintendent Whitney
was this morning presented with a
certified check for nearly $4,000, con-
tributed by his former associates on
the Wyoming division. The presenta-
ton was made at Green River about 1
this morning, just as Mr..
Whitney was boarding a passenger
train for Los Angeles. Mr.. Whitney
tore the envelope open, removed the
check and then asked, What have l
done that l should be treated like this
by the men of this district?" Among
those present were Assistant Superin-
tendent Peterson, Charlie Berry of
this city and Ed Tierney of Rawlins.
Mr.. Whitney could only voice his
thanks in feeble words. 1t was a com
plete surprise to him.
The presentation was one of the
most remarkable events ever transpir-
ing on the division. Often departing
officials have been given a testimonial
from their brother officials, but sell
dom has it come to the lot of an Of
fetal to be thus remembered by the
men themselves, every dollar of the
amount being contributed without a
particle of opposition. Indeed, some
men complained that they had no op-
portunity to add their mite. The tes-
timonial was a hearty one, showing
the high regard for the retiring Of
ficer, not an employe of the division
but wishing Mr.. Whitney a speedy re-
turn to health and success in what
ever position he finds himself after,
ward.
Mr.. Whitney proceeded to Los An
geles, the division officials coming
westward today. Mr.. Anderson, the
superintendent, was on train No. 2 this
morning, Mr.. Let's coming on No. 8
and Messrs. Peterson, Berry, Keliher
and Tierney coming on No. 4 in Mr..
Anderson's official car.

of those who are opposing the improve
ment of the water system had had some
of the experience that fell to the lot
of the department in bygone days they
would be less pronounced in their op-
position. Mr.. Smart was one of the
best firemen the city ever had and can
a first-class system of wat
er works as a protection against loss.
Another gentleman remarked that
all this talk about the council being
in a hurry reminded him of the old
maid who had been using every effort

"Oh, this is so sudden, l will have to
