SAN FRANcIsco, Aug. 3.-Thc ccle-
brated divorce case. Hill VS.. Sharon,
which is now going on under the revised
form of Sharon VS.. Hill, in the United
States circuit court, to have the alleged
marriage contract declared void, was this
afternoon productive of an exciting Incl.
dent and which, for a moment, looked as
though it might result in a tragedy. Test
imony was being taken in the case before
the master in chancery, when a number
of photographs of various documents in
the possession Of Miss Hill was exhibited.
Judge Evans and ex-senator Stewart, Of
counsel for Sharon, took exception to GER
tain defects in the photographs and char
acterized them as unreliable, Miss Hill
became greatly excited at their comments
and thrusting her hand into a satchel
drew out a revolver, which she pointed at
ex- Senator Stewart, remarking if he con-
tinued in his structures she would make
him pay dearly for them. A general
eommotion followed. Master in Chan
Gerry Troughton advanced toward the
lady and urgently requested her to remain
calm. He finally succeeded in obtaining
possession OF the revolver and adjourned
further hearing until tomorrow. Before
they did so Miss Hill is stated to have re-
marked: II am bound to kill Stewart
before this trial is over, AMI don't know
but what ! had better do it now. APP
plication was Immediately made to Judge
SAWYER for a warrant Of arrest

WASHINGTON, Aug. sit is probable
that the president will visit Albany after
the funeral Of General Grant, and before
he goes to the mountains. Secretary
Manning, Sho will spend the month of
August at Watchhill, Conn, with his
family, will probably accompany him to
Albany. 1t is expected that Secretary
Lamar and Attorney General Garland
will remain in Washington during the
president absence. The other members
of the cabinet will take - vacation.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. Bayurd, it is
not expected that the secretary of state
will spend much of the summer season at
Washington. Secretaries Endicott and
Whitney and Postmaster General Villas
will spend most of the summer at their
homes. The two former will make short
visits to Washington whenever their pres
ence is required. 1t is not definitely set
tied what day the presidential party will
leave Washington Tor New York, but it
will be either Thursday or Friday Of this
week, most likely the latter day.

A Talk With the Farmers,

1t is hardly necessary for NE to say to intelligent
farmers that at the rate We are breeding mares in
this State we shall soon have to 'seek q market
elsewhere forOHr surplus stock; II We were CON-
PEELED to do it to-day there i. not q market in
the United States where the stock Of this country
would bring eighty dollars head on an average: IL
this il the case and believe il IL, IL IL certainly
time that we commenced 10 lay the foundation for
larger and better class Of horses In order TO do
this we have got to breed TO large, fine, well bred
stations: cannot obtain good results BY taxing
the advice of some horse peddler and breeding to
three hundred dollar scrub; such stations cannot
produce fine stock, and oexpect IL is to do violence
to every principal Of animal propagation. We ars
not horse peddlers hawking worthless stock abaut
the country, We are breeders. One Of my partnera
number IN the family, and have f0rty-One myselfS
We furnish farmers the same goods We use our
selves. There will be no discounts made from our
advertised prices, We cannot afford to enter into
any competition with scrub stock; our four horses
cost us more than seven thousand dollars and
they are among the finest draft stock in the world
among their several classes. We propose to 90 to
the top in our business, and believe there is amnle
room there. In a word we propose 10 furnish the
farmers Of Central Kansas with the finest draft
stations in the world at lower prices than car h.
obtained elsewhere. We shall make public saIa
Of horses every year, and farmers that have . few
horses to sell can bring Them and we viii cash CUP
notes and give them their face value fak
them, provided they guarantee them to US 1t in
our object to build up business we can all make
money at. Farmers must expect to let us mako
money; we are not doing this thing for fun; we
will all make money. Farmers that patronize OR
stations will raise fine stock and get good prices
