MOUNT VERNON. Oct. 14.?This city

h<> ag. g with gossip the past ftwdays over a divorce proceeding which, be-

.a'o-e o: the prominer.ee of the parues ivolved and the great s»crecy maintained,his caused no end of comment. Th« fur-ther fact that none of the general publicknew of any infelicity between those in-t«-rested a-iti-d -u-h ad< *re< of surpri-«e

to the announcement of the divorce as toamount to actual consternation. There issn clement of scandal in the gossip, butthis Is not credited by many and, least ofall, by the defendant In the divorce pro-ceedings. The name of a well-known busi-n- ->s man is mentioned as havintr he. n in-strumental in break;ng up the family.

Judge lf'Hi«er. behind closed do »rs. theoth- r day. with none hut E. C. Million, at-torney for the plaintiff, ard Frank Quin-by. attorney for the defendant, present,granted a divorce to Mrs Mabel S. Moodyft m her husband. C. S. Moody. late man-ager of the First National bank.

If Andr e, with his famous balloon, hadalight, d in Mount Vernon, it could nothave caused more surprise than did the

of 'he divorce. C. R. Moody was amost active business man, and for sixyears, up to some two months ago, wascashier and manager of the F'r.-it Na-tloi.al bank, of tbls city, a branch of theDexter Horton bank, of Seattle. He wentEast soon after coming here and marriedMiss Mabel S. Firoved, of lfonmouth,II!., a rich farmer's daughter. They hada fine home here and appeared to be de-voted to each other.

Mr. Casey in ono of the best mining menIn the West. He was one of the earliestprospectors In Cripple Cr»«-k. and discov-ered the American Eagle and John A.I. <an mlr.cs on Itull Hill, out of whl h 1 *»

made himself lndapondcnt. Mr. Mao-k> nxkv l« a r.ativa-b* rn Canadian and hasmany friends In Ottawa. Canada, andplan* have already been made. If anythingworth while is discovered, to secure con-cessions from the Dominion governmentfor timber and oth»x claims.

Mr. Moody was a leader In all public en-terprises and was so thofouahly trustedand held In such esteem, that he was thereceiver and a.«=lgne« of numerous larg*buslrj' ss enterprises in various parts ofthe couaty. He was part owner in asteamboat and had various personal hold-ings In real estate and business property.Wh> n the Klondike excitement broke out,he suddenly made known his determina-tion to go. It took four days to disposeof his numerous trusts and to get awayfor the land of gold. It was only doneat a sacrifice, and when debts were paidand the w fe provided for. nothing re-mained for the trip to the north. This didnot deter Mr. from starting, andh« w- nt. early in the first great rush, andha* since been fighting manfully with thefearful difficulties on Skaguay trail, carry-ing more and working harder than anyone not thoroughly determined could pos-sibly have done.

'Our orders." continued Mr Mackenxie,"are to spare no expense to make the «*-

pedttioa a complete succeaa W». willtake with us everything tfyat we can poa-stblv need. We expect simply to pros-pect.

"It will cost us abou' fl'i.ooo for a shipto transimrt us to St Michael alone, andfrom that point we *lll deuend absolute lyupon our own exertions. You know thatIt has been Impossible to get a sawmillthrough to the mines because the trans-portation companies have a monopoly onthe himher. We will n»t b» 'other rl wPhany such monopoly. W« will carry every-thing neceaaary to build a city with, andwe will have the men along who can dothe work. We are feellnsr v»xy enthusi-astic over the scheme, and our plans areso well made that failure Is almost impos-sible If the gold is there »«» are sure toget more than our share of it."

Will It.- Explored.RAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-The Cor-

wln brought the news from St. Michaelthat Father Barnum. who has conducteda mission for many years there. Is au-thority for the statement that a channelnot yet known to navigation exists itthe mouth of the Yukon river. He statesthat It Is close to the south side and willpeimlt ocean steamers to avoid the shal-low bars and proceed up the rlv. r for adistance of 500 miles. This winter Col-lector of Cuatoms Anders and Capt. Pe-terson wdl explore and endeavor to estab-lish the new channel.

Mrs. Moody Is a handsome woman andwas greatly respected In tho community.She was expensive In her tastes and herhusband humored her to his last cent. Hewas regarded as a model husband, and thisfact adds peculiar Interest to the startlingdivorce proceedings.

As soon as she secured the divorce Mr'Moody left for the Fast. The ground al-leged was incompatibility and the proceed-ings were not rerloualy contested. No wit-ness was called except Mrs Moody herself.
