No Notice Given There is- some complaint of the fact that no notice is put up advising travelers of the closing of the Skip anon bridge while the new draw was being installed. It has caused general annoyance. A. L.

Another chapter has been written versus Iter husband, lrc E, Gates, but it it not likely the writing of it will close the history by any means, if there remains a legal channel by which to attain to the real elements of justice that dwell within the record. An order was made on Monday by Hem. T, A. McBridc, in chambers, at Oregon City, upon the petition of C. J. Curtis, of this city, to the following effect: That it aiincarinn: to the court that the plaintiff, Mrs. Gates,, was about to leave the State and "the jur isdiction of the court, and go to Cali fornia, taking with her the child of the plaintiff and defendant; that said plaintiff, was without means to sup port herself and said child; and order ing that the said minor child, Ira Campbell Gates, be turned over to the custody of Mrs. Anna Curtis, with permission granted to both parents to see the child under proper conditions at all times; that said defendant pay to the said custodian, Mrs. Curtis, the sum of $35.00 per month for the care, maintenance and schooling of said minor child, etc., etc." Ttiis order was obtained from Judge McBridc upon the sworn petition of C. J. Curtis, prompted by the husband of Mrs. Gates, which sets up the alle gations alluded fo, along with other matter calculated to inspire the judge with a sense, of the urgency and ne cessity (or the order made; and the whole matter bears the stamp of ex- parte- presentment and determination, miicc the plaintiff, the woman in the case, the mother of the child, has not been heard in the premise and is sorely stricken with the suddenness and surprise of the proceedings, knowing -nothing of the plea nor or- A .m .:, r i i let v. i umcruy, jcsicruay, at me home of Mrs. Anna Ford, 236 Com mercial street, who, as gently as might be done, claimed and took possesion of the handsome thrcc-yeac-old baby boy, and fulfilled the order of the court by turning the boy over to Mrs. Curtis; the happiest feature of the sad case being that the baby is placed in the hands of a most excellent lady and faithful custodian who will do all that any law, humn or divine, prompts for the safety and happiness of the baby. The case is one of peculiar interest, and has, as it progressed in and out of the court, excited a good deal of definite interest here. It first reached public notice, in the futile attempt of the husband, a soldier-steward at the post hospital at Fort Stevens, to have his wife committed to the State Asy lum for Insane, last winter, and who would have succeeded had it not been for the wisdom and humanity that governed Dr. J. A. Fulton and County Judge Trenchard at the hour of ex amination in this behalf. She was promptly and fully cleared of the charge and dismissed from the court, and from that hour to this has waged her battle of life as only an invalid, poor, sick, without influence, and relying solely upon the spon taneous kindness of a group of friends won in the very hour of her extremity, could do. .She has worked when she might and taken the best care of the child a mother might un der the pressure of her poverty and invalidism. . At the behest of friends who be lieved in her and sought to do for her, she went into the circuit court with a plea for divorce,' upon statutory grounds, and was given her freedom, her child and alimony, he husband failing to make appearance and plea, The very fees in the case were re mitted to her by the court officers, and in addition to this; a generous subscription was taken up for her' in the court house itself, and to this ALEX TAGG CONFECTIONERY Fresh Chocolates.'

One Piano Number With Each $5.00 Sale kindly but meagre aid, she has added her paltry earnings, and has a small account at the local bank. s Mrs. Gates has a brother in San Francisco who has offered to give her and her child a refuge in return for the care she would take of that home, and she has been hoping, with the little she had saved, to go there and accept the offer, but not with any idea of evading the orders of the court as to leaving its jurisdiction, nor in any other way subjecting herself to the discipline or correction of the court. ' Attorney Charles H. Abercrombie has rendered the poor woman all the aid in his power and will probably do more if he can; he appeared for her 'in the suit for divorce and has advised her in all ways for her peace and comfort. Her husband has not made any creditable showing in the case from beginning to end and this has been general and common knowledge at Fort Stevens and in this city ever since the hour he sought to force his wife into the asylum; he has never paid a cent of alimony nor rendered her any aid since she gained her re lease; a fact that throws considerable doubt upon his purpose or ability to meet the charge incurred by the order granting the sum of. $35 per month to the custodian of the child.

There is every sign out that Judge McBride has been imposed upon, and the case will not be permitted to rest where it is by any means. To those who have watched the case from its beginning, this last phase is but an expression of brutal and cold-blooded retaliation on the part of a man who had not a morsel of merit wherewith to appear in the open tribunal, plead his rights, and have them adjusted. things Summer Excursions.

' Accident On A. & C The accident to the freight train on the A. & C. that delayed the in coming passenger train to Astoria Monday night was not a Very serious one. The trouble happened near Rainier. As the train was rounding a curve at a high speed, the air brake and te axle of the front wheels of the twentieth car from the engine broke, letting the car drop onto the rail, and tore up about 200 feet of track before Superintendent McGuire arrived from Astoria with engine No, 17 and a flat car, containing two pairs of trucks. The rear end of the train was at once pulled into Rainier; and the trucks Kaken up to be placed under the wrecked car. The down passenger train was held at Goble, and the up train at Rainier for several hours, under the trucks were replaced. Con ductor Goodman received a shak ing UP- Notice. Notice is hereby given to the public that no bills will be paid by the Four- teenh Annual Regatta Committee un less such bill is accompanied by a voucher duly signed by the Chairman and Secretary- of the Regatta Com- ntttee, HERMAN WISE, Chairman, JOHN H- WHYTE, Secretary.
