Miss Hill Concludes Her Evidence.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-In the
Sharon divorce case this morning Miss
Hill resumed the witness stand. After a
short time she concluded and her counsel
announced this the close of the case for
the plaintiff. The Court took a recess
until 2 O'Clock, when Senator Sharon will
take the stand.
The announcement by plaintiffs counsel
that the case was closed created a sensa-
ton, as it was supposed that they had sew
eral more witnesses.
Mrs. Hardenburg was the first witness
for the defense. She testified that Miss
Hill and Sharon visited her in November,
1880, when the former said she and Sharon
were engaged. The alleged marriage con-
tract ia dated August rs, 1880. In August,
1881, plaintiff again visited her, saying
that she was going East, as Sharon and
her had quarreled. She said she had to
leave San Francisco because she loved
Reuben Lloyd better than any man she
ever knew.
Tilden First and Flower Next.
SAN FRANCISCO, March PA Chronicle
Providence. R. l., special says: The
Democratic delegates to the National Con-
vention have been sounded and found to
be solid for Tilden and Hendricks, if Til
den will accept the nomination. Chairman
Page Of the Democratic State Committee,
one of the delegates, said that on the Sec
ond choice they would favor any good
Eastern man who could carry New York.
They might cast their votes for Flower on
account of his popularity in New York
City. The Republican delegates have not
yet been chosen, but the sentiment of the
managers of the party is for Blaine, and
there is no doubt but that the Rhode
Island delegation will vote for the Maine
statesman.
