TINS is the time when one is getting
old news in pretentious shapes. In
its issue OF the 23rd inst. the HERALD
contained a full account OF the inter
view of President Strong and the
citizens OF Cotton with regard to the
erection OF depot, workshops, etc,
at that place. An esteemed evening
contemporary was awakened to
realizing sense of this movement yes
terday. The other day II San Fran
cisco newspaper announced that Jim
Fair had bought the South Pacific
Coast Railway from the Nevada
Bank, and was supposed to have
made arrangements for parting with
it to the men who control the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe and At
lantic and Pacific Railways. In an
editorial which appeared in the HER
AID in the middle of October IT was
stated that, in the settlement between
Jim Fair and his late partner OF the
Nevada Bank, Fair had accepted the
South Pacific Coast Road as part pay
ment OF balance, and that he was
understood TO have negotiated its
sale, with its splendid water front on
the bay, excellent depot and perfectly
equipped line, which extended as far
south as Santa Cruz, TO the managers
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway. This is the news which
was telegraphed all over the coast the
other day. 1t came a day after the
Fair for purposes of Los Angeles con-
sumption,

A Decision Against Sarah

An Attempt to Use Dynamite
in ChicagO-A Storm at

special to me Herald by theAssociated Press.l
SAN FRANCISCO, December 90. United
States Circuit Judge Sawyer this morn
ing rendered decision in favor of the
plaintiff in the suit OF Sharon VS.. Hill,
brought to declare void the alleged mar
riage contract. The action was brought
by VIM. Sharon against Sarah Althea
Hill to declare null and void the CON
tract upon which Superior Judge Sulli-
van granted the defendant a divorce
from the plaintiff year ago.
The decision after stating the evil
denco in the case covers seventeen hun
dred and thirty. one spages OF legal cap,
written with a typewriter. 1t refers to
the refusal of the defendant TO produce
the alleged marriage contract before the
Examiner and her committal for con-
tempt for the offense, and adds: "This
singular conduct can only be interpreted
as an admission that such an inspection
would tend to prove its tmarriage con-
tract'sl falsity.'
In determining the plaintiffs standing
In the Circuit Court as citizen OF Ne
vaia it il held that, Notwithstanding
-4he plaintiffs two years residence in CAL
ifornia, he never exercised any political
right in this State which voided his
status as q citizen of Nevada, hence he
was still citizen of the latter State.
On the question IN to the effect OF the
adjudication of the Superior Court in
the divorce case of Sharon VS.. Sharon,
in which the appeal is now pending, the
decision says: "rhe Supreme Court has
uniformly held that an appeal from a
judgment suspends it's operation for all
purposes, and that settles the question
for this court" II follows that the
plaintiff is not estopped by the
Judgment of the Superior Court in
the case of Sharon VS.. Sharon to
prove in this case that the declaration of
marriage is false and forged. The de.
cision then states that the principal
question is whether the alleged declara-
ton of marriage is genuine or forged.
Much space is devoted to an analysis of
the testimony of photographic experts
from which the court decides that the tes-
timony is largely in favor of the plaintiff,
and proves, as far as such evidence can,
that the signature to the document is
forged. 1t also holds, from the same tes-
timony, that in the word "wife" in "my
dear wife" the letters are tracings sub
sttuted for other words. The opinion
concludes by stating that the alleged
marriage contract is forgery, and de-
crces it null and void. The main opin-
ion is by Judge Deadly, of the United
States District Court OF Oregon, aud
contains 1000 words. Judge Sawyer
filed concurring opinion.

DAY DISPATCHES.

ST. LOUIS, December 90 Informa-
ton comes from Clinton, Md, that Silas
Il. Check, prominent real estate agent
of that place, is a defaulter for over
500, 900. The utmost Conscience was
placed in his integrity until yesterday,
and the banks had given him credit far
beyond his means and honored his
drafts for large amounts. His manner
of obtaining money was to forge names
to bogus deeds of trust aud imprint the
Recorders seal upon the documents,
which he could easily do, as he had
access to the Recorders office at all
times. The deeds thus appearing all
right he had no trouble in obtaining
money on them. Cheek is thirty.two
years old and married, and his wife is
now lying at the point of death, but she
does not know OF her husbands wrong
doing. He owned property worth about
$34, 900, which has been attached by
his creditors, but no other legal action
has yet been taken. His books show
that he has loaned Sl7l 900 for Eastern
parties. In his desk the following was
found:

One may feel that he is getting old,
but he naturally dislikcs that anything
about his appearance should advise
others OF the fact. Yet nothing does
this so eifectually as thin and falling
hair. Nc woman wants to marry man
and business firms hesitate to employ a
man who shows this fatal sign. Park

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
daily Union, yesterday turned mp its
toes to the daisies, to speak OF such
an elegiac event with, perhaps, unbc-
coming levity. Lack OF pecuniary
fabrication is the reason assigned by
its publishers for this untimely de-
mise. The HERALD confesses its sur
prise at such an untoward CONSUMING
ton. II had supposed that the acces-
sion OF the Hon. Francis Patrick
Kelly TO the staff of that journal
had assured it longevity and guar
anteed 1t influence. But it seems not.
1t announces that its publication will
be continued as a weekly, and prom
ises that, Phpnix-like, it will arise
from its ashes in the indefinite COM
ing time.

The iortuitous element in human

Just as, as DIR. johnson, the cele-

of the 25th inst, the following syn
