A LIVELY DAY IN THE SHARON
HILL DIVORCE SUIT.

One of the Lawyers Attacks the Virtue
of Witness and She Makes "a Futile
Move to Defend it-Her Son and the
Progeny of the Judge Then Reach for
Their Pops and the Court AdjOurns.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.-The court
room during the trial of the Sharon-Hill
case was yesterday the scene OF great
commotion. Mrs. Schwan, a witness for
the defense, was on the stand. Judge
Tyler, attorney for Miss Hill, was sub
jecting the witness to a severe cross-ex-
animation. He said that he proposed to
show that the witness had dined at dis
reputable places and visited an assigna-
tiOn house with a strange man. Mrs.
Schwan manifested intense excitement
and hurriedly put her hand into her
pocket as if to draw pistol. She was
checked, however. by the counsel for the
defense, who implOred her to keep cool.
During the excitement which prevailed
McCune Schwan, a man about % years
old and a son of the witness, ap-
preached Judge Tyler, but was stopped
by the latter's son, who threat
ened to shoot him down if he
tried to draw a pistol. Judge Sullivan
ordered that the witness ana her son be
removed from the court, and Immediately
afterward declared a recess. At the
opening of the evening session the Judge
refused to hear further testimony in the
case until assured that every one in the
courtroom was unarmed and would pre-
sent certificate to the policeman at the
entrance door to that effect.
Before proceeding in the Sharon di-
vorce case to-day all persons admitted to

The Palmer House is in a state of erup-

comedy is being enacted within its pala-

days. Last week Mr.. Willis Howe, whose
title has been raised to "managIng part
ner of the Palmer House Company sent
a notice to each of the 200 guests of the
house requesting them to vacate their
rooms one week in June and another in
July during the two national political
conventions. Then ensued deep Iamen-
tation among the regular boarders,
many of whom had resided
at this caravansary for years be-
fore Mr.. Howe left his clerkship at an
other hotel. Protests were numerous.
secret indignation meetings were held,
Potter Palmer was appealed to and re-
course had to various expedients with a
view of changing the order of the E'man-

day all the regular bOarders who failed to
acquiesce in the Howe programme were
notified that the rates of board were forth

was the last straw, and the regu-
lar guests have resolved to
quit the house in a body on the

that at a certain hour on that day 200

A committee, composed of DIR. H. Fisher,
Hon. J. +. DeLacy and DR.. j. +. Buchan,

lutiOns. These gentlemen retired, but in

their report. After a number of interest
ing speeches by gentlemen present the

in contemplation the building Of a railroad

of location, in the procurement of the right Of
way, and in the active cooperation OF the
people of our town and county, we, in public
meeting assembled, resolve,
l. That we tender to the parties engaged in
this undertaking our active support in carry
ing into effect the proposed enterprise.

HAVANA, April 10.-The latest adyices
from Hayti state that on March 20 the
Italian transport COmte de Cayour ar
rived at POrt-au-Prince. The object OF
her visit is to seek satisfaction for the act
of the Haytiens who some time ago took
from an Italian bark, at Petit GOaYe, two
insurgents and shot them.
CLAIMS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT,
j. NJ. LangstOn, the American Minister
at POrt-au-Prince, has demanded of the
Haytien Government the payment of $780,
600 as an indemnity for the American
losses on account of the riots last Septem-
Der, or the surrender of Mole st. Nicholas
as guarantee that the money villa be
paid. The German claims for the same
cause amount to $500,0 The French
claims reach an equal sum, and Eng
lands claims are $250,000.
A disturbance on the San Domingo
frontier has led to the departure of Divide
Camem, Minister of the Interior. for an
interview with the San Domingo authorI-
ties. The Haytien Government has put
into circulation the dreaded additional
$l,OOO,OOO in paper money.
SEVEN THOUSAND KILLED.
The number of killed during the revo-
luton is officially declared to have been
1000. The disappearance of several per-

THE TILDEN INTERVIEWS.
How the Sage is Pictured in Ever
State of Physical Condition.

How the Sage is Pictured in Every
State of Physical Condition.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-There is as
much doubt here about Tilden's physical
condition as there was about the author
ship Of the MOrey letter during the cam
paign of 1880. People do not know
whether to believe that he is physical
wreck or a hale and hearty old man.
There begins to be a suspicion that there
is purpose in thus mystifying the pub
lie respecting Tilden's health, Just what
the purpose is no one appears to know
without it is to keep Mr.. Tllden before the
public. A prominent Southern Democrat
says that the other day he had an hours
conversation with Mr.. Tilden. His talk
was, of course, ''confidential," but TIlden
gave it to be distinctly understood that he
would not accept a nomination under any
circumstances again. There is also to-
day Democratic Senator who also had a
confidential talk with Mr.. Tilden the
other day. He says:
Il assure you candidly that Mr.. Tilden's
health is as good as yours or mine. He
has never suffered any general attack of
paralysis. HIS left arm is partially para
lyZed, and some organs of the throat also.
The latter affects his voice, but Mr..
Tilden's general health is good. Mr..
Tilden will be nominated, and at the
proper time he will assent to his nOmina-
tiOn."
Tomorrow the developments will be the
same. 1t would seem from all the 'scOnfi-
dentiaP' talks that the politicians claim
to have with Mr.. Tilden, that one day he
is paralyzed and Will not accept, and the
next he is robust and eager for the nOmi-
nation, or both on the same day.
