BOSToN, October Ga fully-attcnded
meeting OF independents was held here
this afternoon. Colonel Theodore Leyman
presided and John w. Carter acted a.
secretary. No nominations were made,
but the indications Of the principles which
were adopted were the following: We
deem it unwise at the present iuncture 10
nominate q candidate for Governor, and
we recommend those who Sympathizc with
lis to support the Republican candidate,
recognizing IN George d. Robinson integ-
rity of character and unquestioned ability,
which give better promise Of good gov
eminent than the vicious methods and per-
sOnal ambition Of Benjamin +. Butler. but
we felt it our duty to withhold our support
from the Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant-Govcrnor regarding his rcnOmnl-
ton rs unworthy OF tue approval Of those
who wish to condemn the present EXecu-
tive, and all which he represents"

Senator Sharon's Pursuer.

bl tIcEIapl 10 the Di~ibl'hl
san FRANCIsCO. October G.-MiSS Hill,
who claims to be the wife Of Senator
sharon. was interviewed to-day. She says
the reason the marriage was kept secret
was Sharon's desire TO be reelected senator
from Nevada. He said If the marriage
was made public some woman in Phi'a-
dclpha would raise a row and spoil bis
chances. She SAYS the marriage contract
was signed in Sharon's Office, over the
Bank OF CALIFORNIA;; that he afterwards
tried 10 recover it. but she always had 1t
sewn UP in pocket which she always
wore. Her reason for having the Senator
arrested was because she had learned he
was going east to marry young lady In
New York, and she was determined to
prevent It. She says she spoke to Sharon
about this proposed marriage, saying,
" senator, you know you have no right TO
marry that woman" He replied ITS
all right. | will only he gone a few
weeks" But, continued Miss Hill, made
up my mind that | would maintain my
rights, and | intend to DO so.

Facilitating the Delivery OF Mails.

tBy telegraph 10 the Dspatch.l
WASHINGTON, October G.-With view
TO facilitate and hasten the delivery OF mail
matter in large cities the Post-Olice De-
partmentis gradually extending the system
Of sorting city mails in posta.-cars which
was tried on small scale with very salts
factory results some time since. The plan
is to classify city mails as far as possible
while in transit by distributing Matchmaker
in posial-cars under heads, "For Post
masters" "For the General Post-Oflice,"
" For Lock Boxes" "For Banks and
Bankers" and for the several metropolitan
postal stations, so that it may be handled
with greater quickness and facility when it
reaches its destination. The system was
recently tried on several trains running
into Philadelphia, and the service was so
satisfactory that the postmaster OF that city
asked TO have his mails sorted on all trains.
1t is the intention Of the Post-Ofiice De-
partment TO eventually have Matchmaker
sorted in this way on railway trains for all
large cities in the country.

BALTIMORE, October 0.-John Smith (col-
ored), under sentence OF death for murder
in Oakland, Garrett county, Nd, who es-
capped on Thursday from the jail at that
place after assauting and locking the iailer
IN his cell, surrendered himself yesterday.
1t seems that in the struggle before his
escape the prisoner had received severe
wound in the abdomen from the iaIor. He
was scantily clothed, and the night being
very cold, he thought he would die Of his
injury, which frightened him, and he re-
turned shortly after dark. The jail door
being then locked, however, he could not
enter the prison, and 50 he remained in the
she'd near 10y until daylight, when he gave
himself up.
