HILL VS.. SHARON.
The Case Against the Senator Dismissed
Indications that Biack-1Iail Was
the Object.

SAN FRANcIsco Oct. 2O.-The charge of
adultery against Senator Sharon, preferred
by Miss Agge Hill, claiming to be his wife,
came up for hearing before Judge Lawler,
this morning. An immense crowd had
assembled at the doors of the police court,
and long before the proceedings began the
room was crowded to its utmost capacity.
Senator Sharon, accompanied by his cOun-
sci, General Barnes, was present. William
Nelson, the complaining witness, on behalf
of Miss Hill, was assisted by &. W. Tyler.
Miss Hill was not present The examination
occupied the entire morning. Prior to con-
sideration of the case at issue, Nelson made
a statement that his witnesses had been
!ntimidated; that the police authorities had
failed to serve his subpenas, and that
consequently he was unable to produce
them. General Barnes objected to such
assertions, saying it would be sufficient for
Nelson to cite the instances referred to
in the complaint, and the law would
know how to deal with them. By permits
sion of the court Nelson was permitted to
outline his statements, which were partly of
his own knowledge and partly from informa-
ton. He then proceeded to say he had been
offered money to stay the proceedings, and
that when he refused he was intimidated;
that Miss DietZ, with whom the alleged
adultery took place, could not be found,
and the father of Miss Bracket, the conf
Dental companion of Miss Hill, had sud
denly acquired wealth. The witnesses called
by the defense denied Nelson's statements,
after which the case was called, charging
Sharon with felony. The prosecuting attor-
ney Immediately arose and stated that it was
impossible TO continue the prosecution, as the
statute governing the case had been re-
pealed and no longer existed. Barnes agreed
to set aside all the technicalities and allow
the case to go on, as they wanted the
opportunity of obliging the prosecution to
produce the alleged marriage contract under
which the complaint had been sworn out
The document was not produced, nor was
the existence of it admitted. Barnes strong
ly denounced the whole business as a villain
Gus scheme. The contract was fraud, lie
and a forgery from top to bottom, and the
complaint an outrage on public justice,
chiefly so on the defendant, who was dragged
into court on sworn charge of felony and
when the case was called the prosecution
abandoned it. Tyler said he was not aware,
when the complaint was made out, that the
statute had been repealed. The Judge said
it was So and ordered the case dismissed.
The fact that the prosecution was unable or
unwilling to produce the alleged marriage
contract seems to confirm in the public mind
the original suspicion, that the matter was
started to eXtort money from Sharon.

THE MATTER OF FAITH.

An Interesting Lecture at st. Patrick's
Church by Father Lambert. of St Louis.
st. Patrick's Church was crowded, packed, last
night. It's seating capacity is nine hundred, but
last night fully fifteen hundred people
within its portals and every available inch of
space was taken. Father Lambert (Of the So
ciety of Jesus], of ST. Louis, who has been con-
Quoting mission at st. Patrick's. lectured on
Faith; we believe not unless feel and see."
He is a clear, forcible and impassioned speaker,
and his address largely directed to the fe-
male portion of the audience. He tells a story
with fervor and pathos, and his variations of
deeds of heroism by Catholics frequently drew
tears He said that our first knowledge, strong
est and best, comes to us as infants in the
mothers arms; our simplest, truest faith comes
from that pure fouutain-a mothers breast, a
mothers love. Scientists, those who are SCOT
fers profess not TO believe unless they can see
and handle, and yet God has so circumscribed
and limited the requirements of indi-
vidual man that no single person
can see all, can handle all, can
know all. What we are to believe in most fields
of knowledge, in science and philosophy, must
largely be taken upon the authority of others.
How slight would our knowledge be if based
only upon our own observations. 1t could be
Illustrated only by the case of the savage who
has no intercourse with other nations. We all
go directly by faith-faith in others, and fire.
quently stake our lives upOn the word of
another 1t would not be possible for us to live
without faith IN human knowledge. Man by
nature is a subject, relying upon the authority
of others. How little can each of us know of the
multitudinous things of earth, and the phenOm-
ena of the heavens. GOD communicates to us
knowledge of the supernatural world-that
spiritual kingdom whose skies are not
seen and whose harmonies are not heard in
the same way that men communicate. We
receive it by faith. II rely upon man, how
much more should we rely upon God, as His
vera is infinitely superior to that of man. Be
hold the world with all its magnificent progress
in science, in arts, in everything that benefits
humanity. We believe certain things in science,
in the laws of nature. IN philosophy, in astron-
Omy are true. An act of faith, faith in Jesus
Christ, is better than AL science, more beautiful,
more lofty, more glorious, more sublime. 1t is
a faith that has regenerated the world and pro-
duced its grandest heroes and martyrs 1t was
Jesus Christ who raised up women from the CON
ditiOn of servitude, before whose coming they
were treated beasts of burden. 1t Is Jesus
Christ and His divine church that has made
woman respected and hOnOred.
Following the sermon. Father Lambert gave
the papal benedlcton. Tonight he VIII lecture
on "Ireland and the Church."

An Encounter with a Counterfeiter.

A gang of counterfeiters, who had just arrived
in the city, were apprehended by Patrolman
Thrush, on Saturday afternoon, while passing
spurious coin on West Washington street, near the
river. Upon seeing the officers the men started
to run, but one of them was captured by Thrush,
and a considerable amount of the coin was taken
from him. After walking short distance the
counterfeiter knocked the patrolman down and
made desperate effort to escape. Iu the strug-
gle which followed reyolvers were drawn by
both men and shots exchanged, but without
woundlng any one. The counterfeiter, how.
ever, succeeded in making his escape, and the
gang is supposed to have left the city, as the po-
lice have been unable to find any of them.

they have. Jay Gould is reported TO have said
that he could carry passengers from New York
to Chicago at 80 a head, and make money at 1t.
Whether ne ever said SO not, there is no doubt
that number of the big businesses of the cOun-
try, which include the telegraph and the tee-
phone mOnopolies, would prosper, make money
for the stockholders Though I believe stock
holders often the last persons consldered)

beginning to mutiuy about the telegraph, and

"They should come down. The only reason for
their existence is tMRitls money for the tele-
graph aud telephone~ companies. 1t will cost
them more to nut their wires under ground and
they will not do it until they forced to DO so.
Whenever they have been approached on the
subject they have put down the plain citizen
by denying that it was possible to carry wires
underground and maintain the service. II any
foundation for this excuse exists it will not eA-
ist much longer. The progress of invention
in this particular has kept up with
telephone offices of the city of Paris of which
there are ten, arranged upon an orderly and
scientific plan. There are 5000 subscribers and
the wires are united into cables of fourteen
wires each. These cables carried through
the vaults OF the sewers, QUE of sight and out
of the way. We do not need the Partisan sewers.
Practical working systems have been made and
tested for laying wires underground, anu
whether tele graph and telephone companies like
1t or not they will be compelled to adopt them.
Paris is about thirty times as large as 1ndanap-
oils Here We have 200 instruments in use
against their 5000 subscribers SO you see we
have here about ten subscribers to one over
there, and we pay yearly rental of $50 for u

A tang in the frost and spice in the air
That no city poet sing!

In the path of the park, as it rustlngly weaves
Its way through the naples and under the caves
OF the sparrows that chatter and call.

WHAT vague, IMAGINABLE jOy9
What yearnng for something divine that knew

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-12-11

As GENERAL HANCOCK will soon be
in Los Angeles measures should be taken
to give the old hero grand reception.
Nearly quarter Of century ago one Of
the most familiar and stately figures in
the Angelic city was then known as Cap
tain Hancock. Great numbers OF our
people are personally acquainted with
the General, and by them his greeting
will be especially cordial. But, whether
personally acquainted with him or no,
all Democrats take warm interest in the
hero Of Gettysburgh. In addition, his
arrival will afford on admirable opportu-
nifty for revivins the Democratic enthu'
siasm in Los Angeles, which, since the
overwhelming victory Of last year, ha,
svaporated very sensibly. Let us givt
the General a rousing reception, which
while not necessarily partizan, will
show that the Democratic party Of Lei
Angeles can do great things when the
occasion calls for their doing.
