8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1897%. QUARRELS OF TWD VENERABLE LOVERS Thomas M. Quackenbush | Objects to Paying $500 | a Month. Nancy Aann, His Wife by Con- | tract, Demands That Amount | of Him. | He Fears That She Will Attempt to| Ob ain Half of His Estate After His Death. | Mrs. Nancy Ann Abbott-Quackenbush had an interesting time in Judge Seawell’s court yesterday, when her suit against Thomas M. Quackenbush for $500 & month alimony or vermanent support was called for trial. Mr. Quackenbush’s suit against her to have canceled a certain marriage | contract and other papers which she holds | was taken up simultaneously, as the prop- | My age? Yeys. our age; that is, if you don’t ohject. Idon’t. Well, what is it, please? 1 wat 55 last Chrisimas day. And Mr. Quackenbush, you said, is rising 767 Y An love? I loved him a great deal. Were you enamored of his person and the qualities of his mind? I thought a great deal of him. Are you sure that mercennry motives had nothing to do with the matter? 1 had no such idea. Mr. Foote was evidently inquisitive in regard to the preliminaries of the engage- ment and the signing of the contract, and Mrs. Quackenbush was shy about telling. The dialogue was quite entertaining. Mr. Foote—I want you to answer me now. Was there no love-making? The witness—That is & question that I re- fused to answer on the taking of my deposi- tion. *“1 remember that, you still say that the marriage was for and I remember that | your Iawyer instructed you to refuse to anm- swer. Now Il ask the court to direct you to answer.” .« The witness appealed to the court and Judge Seawell said as gently as nossible thatit was necessary for the witness to disclose all the circumstances attending the ceremony. Mr. Foote (returning to the attack)—Now was there any love-making before the siguing of this first contract? The witness (re'uctantly)—Yes. “Any hugging? “Yes.” «Auy kissing?” “Yes.” Then, you signed the contract?” “Yes.”" “Who drew up the contract?”’ “Idia.” «Still it was only for affection that you sigued the contract?” ¢Then what did you mean when you put in the words ‘share and share alike’ in the con- traci?” “Itmeant that if he had plenty Iwas to MRS. QUACKENEUSH OR MRS. ABBOTT. erty rights are idgntical in both actions. | he says he is worth $600,000, while be | eclares that his property will not total more than 0,000. Mrs. Queckenbush is elderly but well | preserved, with the manners of a ladv of | culture, gentle voiced ana clear of intel- lect. Herappearance on the witness-stind indicated that she knew what she was about, and none of the attorneys was able to shake her from any position that she once took in regard to the relations be- | tween her and Mr. Quackenbush before and after their marriage by contract. In reply to Attorney Arthur Rodgersthe lady told a simple tale of her marriage by | coniract. She said that she met Mr. | Quackenbush first when she went to him | for the purpose of seeing about some re- pairs to a house in whicn she was living. \ | | After that their acqueintance ripened into friendship, and he often called 1o see her. He manifosted his affection for her and nsked her 10 marry him. He rented s | room in her house and a few days aiter- | | { | ward they were married by contract, th document being 1n these words: SAN Francisco, Nov. 15, 188 Know all men that I, Thomas M. Quacken- bush of the City of San Francisco, State of Caliornia, and Nancy Ann Abbott of San Fran- | cisco, State of California, do agree to live to. | gether as man and wiie, share and sharealike, so long as we both shall live. THOMAS M. QUACKENBUSH, NANCY ANN ABBOTT. To indicate_that she was recognized as the wife of Mr. Quackenbush, she pro- duced the following order for the delivery of some valuable diamonds: DECEMBER 22, 1892, Mr. Gunter Fredericks: Please deliver the dia- monds left in your care to tie bearer, my wife. THOMAS M. QUACKENBUSH. It was agreed, Mrs. Quackenbush test fied, that there should be no publi: an- nouncement of the marriage, but consider- able comment having been made in regard | 1o her relations with Mr. Quackenbush, she talked with Attorneys Rodgers and Heller, and received a jorm of acknowlegment_of marriage, which she wrote out, and Mr. Quackenbush signed it on Christmas day. It reads: December 25, 1892. Mrs. Nancy A. Abbott having become my wife on November 15, 1889, ubgn my agree- ment that she should receive a wife's share of my estate at my deatd, 1 now confirm that agreement and charge my property with it, and change my will to give her this full share s if I had made no will, and she can make public our marriage. THOS. M. QUACKENBUSH. This brief document was made the sub- ject of considerable discussion later in the day, as Attorney W. W. Fooie showed that Mrs. Quackenbush testified originally | that Mr. Quackenbush suggested the words in the statement, and he believed that her subsequent correction was made at the suggesiion of others, who knew that it might be important to have the ex- | act truth brought out. | ‘Another paper was also offered in evi- | dence, showing further acknowledgment of the marriage: SAN FRANCISCO, January 4, 1893, Ido hereby declare that Mrs. Nancy A. Ab- bott and mysell were married on November 15, 1889, and we have since lived together as husband and wife, and I hereby so change my will s to give her a one-hall interest in my estate at my death. THOMAS M. QUACKENBUSH. Wituess: A. H. Abbott. Delia M. Hurmans. Mrs. Quackenbush said she had asked her husband to sign that document be- cause he had promised her and her son that he wouid do so. He signed it he was about to go away to the spr the benefit of his healtu. s When Attorney Foote began bis cross- examination it was evident that there was no good feeling between them, as they met before av the taking of the lady’s pre- liminary deposition, and the verbal con- test begun at that time was continued in court. ~After leading the witness qnietly over the main points of the case Mr. Foote took up the marriage contract of November 15, 1889, and a spirited colloquy took place. Mr. Foote—Now, this so-called marrisge con- tract. Was it for love ? Mrs, Quackenbush—Yes, I loved him; I cer- tainly loved him. Mgy I ask you your age, madam ? share it with him, and if he was poor 1 was to share his poverty. Of course, I expected my husband to support me. When srguing as to the ad missibility of Mrs. Quackenbush’s deposition as_evi- dence in the present hearing Mr. Foote said : 1 believe this woman was in a scheme to loot this old man’s estate. She isn’t tel truth. When she testified originally that Quackenbush dictated that documeat of | acknowiedgment and that no ‘orm had been supplied by her attorneys 1 believe that she knowingly stated what she knew to be false. I contend that I have a right to present this to the court, as it goes: to the credibility of the witness. This position was sustained by Judge Seawell, and the witness explained that she did not understand the question of counsel. She thought reference was made the original marriage contract, when she swore that she had no form to go by in drawing it up. The case Wwill go on at 10 o’clock this morning. ON TWO MORE BLOCKS, Third Street Is Going to Have More Electric Lights at Once. From Mission to Folsom Wil B Able to Laugh at Darkness. More lights are going up on Third street and before the week is out the two blocks from Mission to Folsom will cease to mind the passing of the sun. On Third street it is the property-owners who are putting up the greater part of the hght fund and as they are not 8o accessi- ble as the merchants the fund is increas- ing more slowly. There is enough on hand now, however, to cast the darkness from two more blocks on Third street and the necessary lights will be put in as soon as possible. Those who have signed the subscription fund for the two blocks from Mission to Folsom are: From Mission to Howard—A. Van Bergen Mrs. M. A. Wightman, Cannan Fallon, Ed | Heber, 0. D.

Snook, Williem Enrenpiort, David Keil and Gus Harshall, Charged With Burglary. Gus Peterson, a laborer, 27 years of age, was arrested early yesterday morning for visiting an opium resort. An additnal charge of burglary was booked sgainst him. He is ac- cused of breaking into the room of G. H. Poole, one of his associates, and stealing & gold watch, a silver watch and some clothing. gt it o g bt They Were Acquitted. Ellis Swain and James Muivey, the two young men charged with an attempt to com- mit a criminal assault on Mrs. Belle Nava, the wife of & barber, had their cases dismissed by Judge Joachimseén yesterday. The complain- ing witness testified positively that the defend- ants did not attempt (o ussault her. ——t——— For business men or country merchants 0 SWELL IT3 FRANCHISE LIST The Market-Street Railway Seeks to Extend - Its Lines. A New Track Wanted, to Run Along Masonic Avenue and West Cay Street. Other Matters of Public Interest Up for Consideration Before the Sup:rvisors. The Board of Supervisors yesterday, in addition to action taken in the bond mat- ters, transacted some other business of general interest. John Q. Brown, who has been for some time an assistant clerk to the board, was superseded by P. Schwartz, who 18 well known as the sec- retary of the Association of Improvement Clubs. Mayor Phelan and Supervisor Rottanzi vouched for Mr. Schwartz. It was voted to request the Spring Val- ley Water Company to place a large water main on Channel street between Fourth and Sixth avenues, and also to instruct that hydrants be placed in the Richmond District wherever they are needed. The request of the Post street Extension Commissian to have the matter rereferred was granted. The San Francisco Art Association pe- titioned for the location of hydrants around the block in which the Hopkins / Institute of Art is sitnated. The Mayor’s veto of the plumbing ordi- nance was sustained. Supervisor Britt gave notice that he would introduce a resolution practically resubmitting the same proposition‘as was embodied in the order just disposed of. Taxpayers appeared in opposition to the assessment for the laying of bituminous rock on Octavia street, between Lombard and Green, on the claim that the work was not done properlv. A protest from several property-owners against an assess- ment for street” work on Pierce street, be- tween Vallejo and Green, was also heard. The sum of $1000 was appropriated to as- sist in making a suitable display of San Francisco products at the coming exposi- tion in Guatemala. The Market-street Railway Company petitioned for a franchise, to run fifty years, for a single or double track rail- Wway commencing at the intersection of Masonic avenue with Oak street, thence along Masonic avenue to the intersection with Page street, with the right to con- nect with the existing street lines on Oak and Page streets; also commencing at the intersection of Clayton and Krederick sireets, thence along Clayton street to the intersection with Carl, together with the right of connecting by curves on Clayton street with the existing street railways on Frederick street. In support of their wp- plication a communication was recetved from the Ashbury Heights and Stanyan- street Improvement Club. The Manhattan Athletic Association of San Francisco petitioned for a permit to hold an amateur boxing tournament at Woodward’s Pavilion on the night of Fri- day, February 12, the proceeds to be de- voted to furnishing the association’s gym- nasium. The resolution authorizing the neces- sary work to place the City and County Hospital in a sanitary condition was tinally passed. The Assessor was instructed to set aside as erroneous several assessments for personal property, among these being the assessment for franchise against the Western Union Telegraph Company for the years 1890, 1891, 189z, 1893 and 1895; also the assessment against the General Electric Light Company of New York for 1894, the San Francisco Stock and Bond Exchange Board and the Phenix Fire Insurance Company. o gia STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

The official returns of the city of New York show that more than one-third of all deaths are from consumption, pneumonia or grin. When we stop to calmly think over this fact it seems really awful. And yet every case, without exception, started from small beginnings. A cough in the morning; tickling in the throat; a thick, phlegmy discharge: chilliness at night; difficult breathing; a tightness across the chest; these and many more symptoms indicate the presence of that terrible dis- ease which, unless checked, means certain death with long painful suffering. In view of such serious and ever-present facts the suggestions and advice of the most eminent physicians are of the great- est value, Dr. Jolin Gardner, one ot the most emi. nent physicians in London, says: “Sci- ence, common-sense, Holy Scriptures, and all experience testify to the benefits de- rived from the use of pure whiskey.” Dr. D. H. Barker says: “I have used and examined Duffy’s pure malt whiskey, and find it the best I ever tried.” These truths should serve as a guide for all who feel the approach of consumption, no matter by what path 1t may come. We do niot hesitate to assert that any man or woman who will use Duffy’s pure mait whiskey according to directions can defy consumption and prolong life with all its blessings. L. A. Berteling Pres.
