Senator Sharon Denies Miss Hill.
SDepia1 to the Globe

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Ex-Senator
Sharon is reported slightly better. He is
suffering from neuralgia of the heart. In
anticipation sof his approaching death, he
to-day decided over all his property to his
son, Frederick Sharon, and son-in-law,
Frank G. Newland, in trust for his heirs.
The estate is valued at Sc, 900, 600 and en-
braces property in Nevada. California,
Missouri and the District of Columbia 1t
is to be divided into three equal portions
among his children, Clara, Frederick and
Flora LADY Herketh) or their heirs.
Three children of Clara, who is deceased,
will each receive one-third her share. The
deed ignores all the other relatives of Sena-
tor Sharon. While resting easily on his bed
he took occasion to say to his relatives and
others present ''Feeling that am in the
presence of death, 1 wish again to say for
myself and as due to my family and the
public, that have never at any time pro-
posed marriage to Miss Hill in any language
or in any form whatever 1 never signed
that marriage contract. 1t is forgery. 1
never wrote her the dear wife letter or
any of them. Her entire charge of wife
hood against me is falsehood, fraud and
crime against myself and my family"

TEE LAWLEss CASE.
Feminine Curiosity Leads to Serious
Resuits--S5, 900 Damages.

Resuits--S5.O 900 Damages.
In the district court yesterday the only
case to which any particular interest is at
tached was the So, 900 damage suit of Mary
Lawless against the city and j. T. Tobin,
the contractor. The plaintiff, one evening
last July, walked into sewer excavation
at Sixth street and Nineteenth avenue
south, and from the fall received injuries
which she claims to be detrimental to her
health and of permanent nature. On the
stand she said that while walking along she
noticed the dress which a colored woman
had on, and crossed the street to get a bet
ter look at it. While thus engaged she fell
into the sewer She was positive that there
was no lantern or obstruction to warn pc
destrians of the danger. Her mother testi-
fed that a little boy had come to the house
and told her that her daughter had fallen
into ditch. The boy, who had been
sitting on a tool-boX near the excavation,
testified that be saw Miss LawleSs walk dl-
rectly into the ditch-he saw no guard to
prevent falling, neither was there any
lantern. The testimony of two doctors
was introduced to prove the nature OF the
injuries.
The evidence for the defense was to show
that the excavation was guarded by slaves
and piles OF DIRT at the SlQeS. AT one emu
was a lantern, and at the other a heavy
plank, crossing the ditch, supported by two
boxes. The only way for the girl to have
fallen in was to have jumped over the
plank or to have gone clear around
it and actually crawled through
the only unguarded place, which
was space less than three feet long. The
attorney for the defense was not backward
in charging that the plaintiff had purposely
fallen into the excavation with the inten-
ton of suing for damages. She had known
the existence of the ditch, and the safe
guards placed around it, precluded any
other theory. Evidence was also intro
duced tending to show that her injuries
were not at all serious.
Mr. Dobbin. the attorney for the plaintiff,
secuted the idea that there was any con-
spracy. The character of the girl and her
mother did not admit the thought of any
plOt-it was doubtful if they understood
what a damage suit was at the time. The
plaintiff, wOman-like, had gone across the
street to look at another wOman's dress,
and she says she walked straight into that
ditch. A little boy, who saw her fall, says
the same thing. All the witnesses who
testified to the plank being there saw it
either at or before the accident.
The arguments in the case were finished
about o'clock. and the jury will be charged
this morning.

Miss Ada C. Sweet Saws She Is No
Longer a Bone of Contention.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Miss Ada c.
Sweet, the eX-pension agent at Chicago
who gained fame by her refusal to resign
when asked to do so by Commissioner
Black, was met at the Westminster hotel
this afternoon. She has blue eyes, golden
hair and a face that indicates determination.
'Oh, yes, am familiar with the interview
ing process" she said pleasantly. REPORT
ers in Chicago are often pleasant and always
energetic
''Have you come to reside in the city?'
"Yes, this is now my home. L am 40
longer political bone of contention. The
non-partisan pension officer has resigned and
become private citizen. l am now the
agent of an electric device for shutting Off
steam in buildings
WAS the pension agency unpleasant?''
Yes; it was made so, after l refused to re-
sign, by Pension Commissioner Black. Presi-
dent Cleveland, though treated me well.
The reason | did not desire to acouieSce in
forced resignation was that suspicion gener-
ally attaches to any one who is quietly asked
to resign l wanted to wait till the end of the
fiscal year and go out when my term expired.
l was appointed for four years by Gen.
Grant, and held the Office eleven years. The
great opposition to me arose from my refusal
to make it political Office. Regular politicians
every four years made an attempt to oust
me. A bitter fight was the result. Oh, those
fights, l shall never forget them. When 1 was
first appointed I found great cuspidore at
every desk, and the Office continually i'm
pregnated with tobacco smoke. The cuspi-
dores had to go, and likewise they who used
them. I began to employ women clerks, and
required of them as much work and paid them
the same as men. Their employment had no
reference to politics. I could fairly say they
were selected by me, and not by this senator
or that congressman. For this the politicians
were against me. You see, gave the prefer
ence to wemen. Ny father was soldier, and
had large family to support, so I felt that
l was right in keeping the agency as long as
did. l gave the clerks a dinner before left
L think shall like New York. My younger
sister is with me, and will act as my secre-

James Anthony, barber, was arraigned
in the municipal court yesterday on a charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon. His
case was continued until next Tuesday and
he was remanded to custody in default OF
$500 bonds. 1t seems that he got into an
imbroglio at cOlored dance on Thursday
night and tried to carve feilow-barbel
with a razor. The latter was slightly
wounded. The fight was over girl, Josie
Howard, from St. Paul. She was drunk,

John mcCulIough,s improvement.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-John McCul-
Tough. the actor, is rapidly regaining his
strength and the improvement in his men
tai condition, which began after his re-
moval to the city, continues. 1t was said
to-day that there is crisis approaching,
and if he passes it safely his friends can
hope for the best. He had an attack of
convulsion on the 18th of last month and
recurrence is expected about the same time
this month. There is danger, of course,
but he is gaining strength SO rapidly that he
may fight it off.
