THE SHARON SCANDAL.
The Senator Says Miss IsiiI's Alleged
Marriage Contract Is Fraudulent.

SAN Francisco, October 4-Senator
Sharon to-day commenced suit in the
United States Circuit Court against Aggie
Hill, declaring that the alleged contract of
marriage between himself and her, claimed
by Miss Hill to be in her possession, is a
fraudulent document; that no such con-
tract was ever signed by him or promise
OF marriage given. He asks the court to
compel Miss Hill to produce the alleged
contract and retain possession of it, that
the fraudulent document may be so proven.
lie denies ever having been married since
he became widower, and states that the
object OF Miss Hill in perpetrating the
ALLEGED marriage contract is to lay claim
on his estate in the event of his death.

had not yet presented any opinion as to
what steps Congress should take in the

hc had declared himself in favor OF the
ISSUE OF twosper cent. long bonds and the

The Teachers.

The Teachers institute, which is in

continues to grow in interest and num-

swelled to 1872, and there are others still
to come in.
In visiting the building yesterday for a
few minutes, we found Prof. Hatch Civ
ing instructions in languages to one room
full of teachers. His manners and meth
DDS impress n as being most excellent,
and the talk and exercises proved very
interesting and instructive. The teach
ers were given many new suggestions,
which must prove of value to them in
their work in the school room, and the
attention given evidenced their apprecia-
ton of this fact. The instructors in
other rooms and other studies are also
said to be doing excellent work, and the
present institute gives the promise of be-
ing the best ever held here.

A MISSING MAN.
Decay, the Contractor, Seems e
Have Disappeared With n
Good Roll of Cash.

Mr.. Decay, of the firm of Decay 4
Cassel, contractors and builders, started
three weeks ago last Saturday for Omaha,
as he said at the time, and his family and
partner haye been waiting in vain since
for his return or for some tidings of him.
At the time he left it is thought he had
about $500 with him, and his continued
absence has not only caused much finan-
cial trouble to his partner, on account of
the absence of the $500, but also much
trouble, as he had evidently taken the
time-books with him, so that it is diff
cult to get at the amount of wages due
the men at work for them. The
firm were engaged in several
building enterprises, among
then Mr.. Empkie's house, Mr.. Hills
house, and Mrs. Gerspacher's. 1t has
been discovered that quite an amount OF
wages have not been settled, and there
are a few lumber bills unsettled. His
partner thinks there is enough due on
contracts to pay up everything in time
but the loss to him will amount to S40C
or more. Mr.. Decay has lived here
about three years, and has a wife and
one chi d. No clue has been yet gained
as to his whereabouts, and no positive
reason ascertained for his sudden and
strange disappearance.
