NAUGHTY SENATOR SHARON.
Wife or Mistresss or, a Tough TALL
of An Old Mans WOOing.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-In the
hearing OF the Sharon divorce case to-
day Frank Rodney, cousin of the
plaintiff, testified that the evening be-
fore Sharon's arrest, in September last,
he (witness) accompanied Miss Hill
to the Palace hotel, and heard her say
to Sharon: "You know, senator, am
your lawfully welded wife, although
you have told some of the best pto-
pie in the city that / am only your
Sharon deny this latter accusation.
Witness swore the marriage contract
was the same document ne had seen
in December, 1881.
Miss Hill, the plaintiff, testified in
her own behalf, and said she first con-
versed with Sharon in the spring of
1880. He said he heard 1 was stock
sharp, and if l would come to his
Office he would give me some points.
I gave him $500 to invest for me.
He always talked love to me when l
visited his office, and said he wanted
me to love him. He said if l would
let him love me he would give
me $1,000 per month and house.
l told him he mistook his woman,
and that millions could not buy me.
He said he was only teasing me; that
he loved me better than any one since
his wife, and he then proposed a secret
marriage, but resented the PROPOSE
ton. He told me about woman with
baby in Philadelphia, and said he
didn't think the baby was his, but
that he sent money to the mother to
stop her making trouble. Cease is still
at hearing.)

AN INVESTIGATION.
What if ReHaaIed

ALBANY, n. V, March 14.-Roose-
welt, chairman of the special assembly
committee for investigating the de-
partments of the loca! government Of
New York City, presented to-day a
voluminous report. The committee
found many abuses due to the nom
execution or violation of good laws,
and the committee agreed to report
nine bills, which, if adopted would
obviate the evils and save the city
100000. In all the departments they
Investigated they found the encum-
bentS generally either dishonest or in
efficient. Indeed, the whole govern
ment seemed absolutely in condition
appalling. The deals by which men
have obtained position, as developed
by the investigation, casts curious
side-light upon New York politics and
shows with startling distinctness that
under present system the men who
nominally hold office are not the
men who really exercise the power,
and that the latter cannot be held res
ponsible for their deeds. County
clerk keenan,, and ex-county clerks
Butler and Thompson kept
the books properly, but retained
fees illegally; Butler to the amount of
$36, 200; keenan, $4,000. The county
clerks net income is $500 a year.
They propose to make a fixed salary
of $15, 600, Notwithstanding the clerks
enormous fees. The committee
showed phenomenal ignorance about
office affairs, admitting frankly that
duties as local politicians over-rode
duties as county clerk. The regis
ter's salary would amount to about
$4,000 annually under the fee system.
They recommend that Register Doch-
erty be indicted for improper prac-
tees. The surrogate's Office is run by
subordinates, chiefly for Matchmaking
purposes. They recommend the pow

THE ST. LOUIS ROBBERY.
Tiller Captured in Milwaukee, and
$50 900 Recovered.

MILWAUKEE, March 13-Prentise
Tiller, the Pacific Express company's
agent at st. Louis, who decamped
with nearly 100000 few weeks ago,
was arrested at 10 o'clock this morn
ing by Milwaukee detective, and
$4,000 in money recovered.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
A young man, looking like tramp,
slightly built. unobtrusive features,
and about 135 pounds in weight,
bought trunk at the store of Carpet
& Schram, on TUESDAY. He asked to
have it shipped to Mr.. G. H. Pachen,
Detroit, Mich, and left a valise
which he asked to have placed inside
the trunk to save him the trouble of
carrying it. When about to put the va
lise in the trunk the clerk dropped it,
and the clasp burst asunder the
bullying contents rolling out on the
floor. On gathering up the bundles
he found them wrapped in Pacific
express companies, labels, and closer
examination disclosed that every
package contained prize, the total
amounting to nearly $4,000.
The police were notified, and, with
the description given of the man,
traced him to cheap boarding house
in the third ward, but he
was not at home. They found
his trunk, and searched it as
the boarding house people said the
man was frequently out at night.
The police continued searching the
city, thinking he must be on spree.
This forenoon he returned to the
trunk store to ask about the valise,
and was arrested. He has been at
the Sd ward boarding house since
March 9Th, but it is not known
whether or not he boarded anywhere
else before that. Besides money there
was large amount of valuable Jew
elry in the valise. The money was
placed i'll the merchants exchange

THE LASKER RESOLUTIONS.
Will Resent Bismarck's Insult.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
The committee on foreign affairs to-
day considered the action of Bismarck
upon the Lasker resolutions.
Phelps proposed that report be
submitted to the house, declaring, in
effect, that the wise course of the sec
rotary of state relieved the house
from the necessity of any further ac-
ton.
Eaton said the act of Bismarck was
an insult, and as such should be re-
scented in terms which would leave no
doubt of its emphatic disapproval by
the house.
A variety of views were expressed
by Phelps, and replied to by Eaton,
who represented the extremes. Opin-
ions were expressed by other members
of the committee also, and suggestions
were made that words condemning
the German chancellor should be ac-
companied by an expression of regard
for the German nation.
Rice said while he believed the state
department had left the-@atter in the
best possible position, yet, asian insult
had been directed against the house of
representatives, that body should ex-
press, in dignified terms, its resent
ment. The matter, he thought, ought
not to be left entirely with the de-
partment of state. IS
Further consideration of the subject
was referred to subcommittee con-
sisting of Curtin, Eaton, Phelps and
Rice,

CHICAGO.
A Review Of the Markets.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE grain and
provision MARKETS. on change are more
active but nervous, with values very
irregular. The leading fact just now
is an excitement on the subject of rail
frei0hts, and the matter is still unde-
cided. 1t is, however, thought by
those who are in position to know,
that freight rates from Chicago to the
Atlantic will within few days be
down to about the level of those
charged at other western points on
shipments to the seaboard; but the
effect of such step is vet problematic.
If shipments were not materially in
creased thereby the result would be
weakness, and it is by no means GER
tain that a reduction to 20 cents per
100 barrels would move much stun,
except the low grade corn. which must
be got rid of before the weather soft
ems, ii at all, and some lard. Most OF
the grain now here will lncure no
additional expense for storage be-
fore the middle of next month, and
nearly all of it is held for May deliv-
cry, when cheaper water transporta-
ton will be in order, Hence there is
no inducement to ship it now, unless
it were wanted at the eastsfor imme-
diate consumption, which appears
not to be the case.
Wheat certainly has little show for
moving out by rail, except in moder-
ate quantities, as heretofore, for the
supply of interior points; and the
market is left to depend almost entire
" on the weather, to which it is very
sensitive. at present, people can only
guess: zbut conditions seems to favor
a good harvest, the ground being gen.
orally well coverd by snow. But it is
widely thought that the severe win
ter must have told adversely to the
wheat. and the first two or three days
Of growing weather are awaited
with intense interest. They will show !
whether OF not the roots have been |
Injured. aud that revelation will prob |
abiy be followed by important price |
changes. If the news proves favor

Local Dots.

Why is it that the police committee
want to keep the charges against the
marshal profound secret until the
trial.
The Houston s. Texas Central rail-
road are working on the bridges from
Hampstead to Austin and making
arrangements to lay the track with
steel rails between here and Hem :
stead, which will make it one Of the
best roads in the state. 1t is also
understood it is to be extended further
west soon.
There are in the city in process of
erection one hundred and twenty
houses, big and small, and it is said
the number will increase as the season
progresses. Austin is constantly re-
ceivinS an influx of new Corners.
Hardly day goes by that number
of men do not come with the intention
of making this their future home.
Why is it that persons can never
understand that newspapers will not
publish articles unless they know
who they come from. This is necessa-
ry to prevent the paper from being
imposed upon. The STATESMAN has
repeated this often enough to inform
all, and yet communications are con-
stantly coming to this office without
any name attached. The name is not
for publication but as guaranty of
rood faith.

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
DALLAS, March 13-The Northwest
Texas live stock association adjourned
here TO-DAY at p. IN. to meet at Sher-
man the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in March next. The attend
ance was larger and the discussion
more pointed than at any former cat
tie convention ever held in the state.
Expressions against leasing grazing
lands at the maXimim price fixed by
the land board was universal among
the cattlemen.
The sentiment of the practical cat
tlemen of the west, as expressed
by their representatives in Chicago
and the stock meetings at Gainesville
and Abilene, Texas, against the crea-
ton of an animal industrial bureau,
were heartily endorsed. Mr.. r. L.
Hastings, of the Union Stock yards,
Chicago, the chief spirit of the oppo-
sitlon in Texas, made canvass of this
question among the members of this
association and the visitors, (the lat
ter including Wyoming, Colorado and
other northern cattlemen,) and the re-
suit was a unanimous expression
against it.
ln6 cOmmlLCeo on Trails reported
that in addition to the trails ordered
by Sec'y Teller to be left open through
the Indian Territory, the stock inter-
ests, demand that they should be
opened up from the Red river and
Wheeler county to the terminus of
the st. Louis & Santa Fe R'y. The
annual roundup was established,
contrary TO general expectations.
The convention refrained from any
official expression in regard to the re-
cent action of the land board advanc-
ing the rate of lease of the school

Steps are being taken to establish
and endow stockmen's college with
educational facilities unsurpassed in
the south, the object being to have
Texas children educated at home in
stead of sending them abroad to col
leges and universities.

this time, but space will not permit
them to be related now. At one time
he saw Judge Bell on the street, and
holding a grudge against him for hay
ing decided a case against him he drove
him nom the su eet. At another
time he left his seat in a theatre. and
while he was absent John f.
Allen came in, and finding the seat
vacant, sat in it. When Ben came
back and found Allen there he asked
him what he was doing in his seat2
To this Allen made some sharp reply
and Ben took up another chair and
smashed it over Aliens head. Col.
DeGresS was mayor at the time, and
as none of the police would arrest him,
the colonel said in impotic language he
would do it himself, and he went to
the theatre, where Thomson was
having high old time, Col.
DeGress marched up to arres st
him, and Thompson covered
him with his revolver, saving if he
approached he would Kill him Col
DeGress repiiei. t tffss he he, s!aEe
to shoot him, that it was his duty to
arrest him and
HE WOULD DO 1T.
Thompson saw he must Kill
an officer in the lawful dis
charge of his duty, or else
submit to an ar,l;, and he did the
latter. His next exploit was in the
variety theater located where THE
STATESMAN composing room is at
present. Here he Instantly killed A. M.
Wilson and shot Mr.. Matthews in
the forehead. This killing created
great excitement but Thompson was
acquitted on the ground of self de-
tense, the proof showing that he did
not fire until shot gun had been lev
eled at him. The killing of Jack Har-
ris in the same theatre where he met
his tragic end is still fresh in
the minds of our readers. The
most interesting thing about this
killing is the accuracy with which he
shot. Harris was screened from view.
vet he so shot as to hit the vital part
of the body, and in order to do this, he
had to glance the ball along the wall.
Such is a condensed outline of this
REMARKABLE MAN,
whose life has been one series of
tragic scenes from his boyhood to the
present time. He had some re-
deeming characteristics. He never
forgot friend, and his generosity was
most noted. The very last time he
wrote his namo was to sign a sub.

TOM OCHILTREE.
He Has a Word to Say about Bis.
marck and Lasker.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 49,
Commenting on Bismarck's speech
on the Lasker matter in the Ger
man parliament to-day (the SUBJ
stance of which was communi-
Gated to the red-headed chieftain by
your correspondent, congressman
Ochiltree said that Bismarck was
governed exclusively by considera-
tons of internal policy, and not by
any feeling against our body or our
country. 1t is purely German ques-
ton involving relations between Bis
marck and his parliament. In this
country we do not quarrel over a
eulogy delivered at the grave of an
enemy. Then it is time
for praise and not censure, and the
mouth of criticism is usually closed
in such scene. If there be reasons
in Germany for public struggle over
such eulogies, we should not be ex-
pected here to understand them.
CongressmanO chiltree said Bismarck
speech was complete hedge. If
Bismarck would instruct his minister
to return that resolution to him
the whole affair, in consideration of
what he has said. would drop. There
never was any intention to do more
than compliment the people of Germa-
ny by paying our tribute of respect to
one of Germany's greatest men.

official who possessed sufficient knowl-
edge. might have sent a
confidential warning against con-
ferriDg on me the part of postman.
This was not done. and therefore l
instructed Eisendicker, the German
minister at Washington, that could
not possibly forward the resolution.
Moreover, the resolutions did not ema-
nate from congress, but only from the
house of representatives. l never in
tended to annoy America or disturb
our relations. L am simply
unable to make the opinion
OF Lasker, as adopted by the
American house of representatives,
my own. My desire is that the good
relations which have subsisted be-
tween the two countries for century
may Stlll continue, and my action was
forced upon me by the abuse to which
L was subjected to here ut home as a
consequence of the vote of the house
OF representatives. Prussia withstood
all temptations from other powers to
Interfere with affairs in America. and
recognize the southern states. Indeed
Prussia might claim the merit of hay
ing prevented such recognition by
the benevolent attitude which she
maintained.
DIR. Haenel, of the university of
klal, who is the leading spirit among
progreSSionists, and who took a promi-
nent part in the incidental debate
apropos of the Lasker affair some days
| ago, then took the floor and said it
was matter of profound regret that
Bismarck should have uttered single
word IL praise of Las&er. People are
accustomed to receive Teproofs while
living, but why has Bismarck not
spared the dead?
The chancellor retorted that he did
not sit in judgment on the dead Las
ker, but those who had tried to glorify
the deceased had done so. He denied
the alleged friendliness of Lasker's
party towards him (Bismarck), as Las
ker had consistently and persistently
/ opposed him.
Dr.. Haenel urged that the friendly
sentiments of the resolutions should
have been recognized without too
Cd efully weighing the words in which
They were expressed.
Bismarck commended that an eX-
change of sentiments between parlia-
ments was highly inappropriate, but
he added that DIR. IL atnel, if he SC
pleased, could introduce motion con-
veylng the thanks of the reichstag to
the house of representatives for its ex-
preston of sympathy.
The appearance OF Bismarck in the
reichtstag is generally attributed to
his desire to maintain friendship with
America.
