County Board and
Contractors in Mix

The Board OF County Commissioners
yesterday refused to allow a claim OF
Caldwell & Drake. general contractor
on the new building. for 1900 for work
done during February. The board cut
the estimate down To $3.50 for the reason
that a month ago II oyerpaid the general
contractors nearly 5000 through clerical
error.
Superintendent zelgier for Caldwell &
Drake, refused to accept the reduction on
the ground that any settlement for over
payment should be postponed until the
work is done. The mater was laid over
week TO give the board and the general
contractors time to try TO agree.

Pittsburgh, May 24-The divorce suit Of
Andrew w Mellon. millionaire banker,
against Nora McMullen was virtually ended
tonight by the report OF the master John
+. Hunter. who recommended decree on
the ground Of deserton. Mellon some time
ago withdrew his charge OF inhdelty. on
which he based the original suit against his
wife. naming George Alfred Curphy. an
English army officer, as correspondent
After the withdrawal OF this charge, Mrs.
Mellon said tonight, there was no desire on
her part to contest the accusation OF de-
sertlon
The case has been bitterly fought. and the
prominence OF the principals both here and
abroad made It OF international interest.
There were contests over the proposal to
try the case before jury as to the taking
of testimony by a master and az TO the
custody OF the two children. The courts
decided to have testimony taken by a
master both here and in Europe, and after
much argument a guardian was appointed
for the children, the parents to visit them
on alternate weeks.
Mellon IS considerably the senior of his
wife. She took a couple Of trips abroad
without her husband. and on these. he
charged. she was guilty of misconduct.
When they separated he settled an annual
income OF $50 900 on her and provided a sub
stantial income for the children.

Three hundred blacks disappeared from the

Several motives for the rebellion have
been advanced, the two leading ones being
that the negroes seek to obtain the abroga-

organization of the blacks into a political
party, and that they are trying to force in
