JUDGE TERRY AND HIS WIFE IN JAIL
The Court Charged With Being Bribed ana
a Riot Ensues.

Riot Ensues.
SAN Francisco, September 3.-The cell
ebrsted Sharon divorce case, which has oc-
cupied the attention of the Pacific coast Tor
i number of years, eliminated today IN a
sensational incident which resulted IN
placing Sarah Althea Sharon, now Mrs:
David S. Terry, in jail for thirty days. and
her husband, Judge Terry, for six months.
The Supreme Court of California a lew
months ago, sustained the decision OF ,he
State Superior Court, which declared that
Mrs. Terry had been legally married to the
late ex-United States Senator Wllham
Sharon and that she was entitled to Il por-
ton of Sharon's estate. A short time after
the announcement of the decision by the
State Supreme Court the executors OF the
will of the late William Sharon made ap-
plication to the United States Circuit Court
for bill to revive and carry into execution
the decree of the Circuit Court entered Sep
tember, 1885, in the suit of William Sharon
against Sarsh Althea Hill to obtain de-
cree adiuding certain papers In her pos
session purpOrting to be marriage contract
between them to be forgery and directing

manner.
The decree entered by the Circuit Court
In. this case was in favor of the plaintiff
and declared that the;alleged marriage con-
tract was forgery; but in the meantime
the Sharon divorce suit was pending IN the
State courts and William Sharon died.
When the executors recently applied to the
Circuit Court fora bill Of revision, Sarah
Althea Hill, who has since become Mrs.
Terry, entered demurrer, and the de-
cision today was rendered upon that de-
murrer, which the court overruled. The
decision, which was very lengthy, was read
by Associate Justice Field, Of the United
States Supreme Court, and was concurred
in by Judge Sawyer, of the Circuit Court,
and Judge Sabine, of the District Court.
The former decision of Judge Sawyer,
declaring the alleged marriage contract a
forgery and ordering the defendant to de,
liver it up for cancellation, is sustained,
and the executors are given the right to
handle Mr.. Sharon's property untrammeled
by any action on the part of Mrs. Terry.
| The announcement made several days ago
that decision in the Sharon case would
be rendered today drew large crowd tc
the United States court room. About 2OC
lawyers, besides all persons directly inter
ested in the case, occupied the enclosure

IT is very evident, and for a consider
able time has been, that the English are
nervous over the lessened respect paid to
them by the people and Governments of
European powers, and notably Germany.
Recent manifestations justify the conclu-
sion that there is even hostility in the
conduct of some of these Governments
toward the English. 1t is not at all sur
prising therefore that Great Britain should
set about putting her army and navy into
condition to enforce the outward respect
that the strong man commands. The dis
like of the radically German partisans for
things English is not now attempted to be
concealed. The death of Emperor Fred
erick, which cannot now be far off will
probably strip the mask from the Govern
ment party-if the anti-English can be so
classed-and the new Emperor, who can
not forgive his mother for being English.
will stand forward as a pronounced op-
ponent of Great Britain, and every influ-
ence 1t exerts in the politics of Europe.
Inc military preparations of Russia, and
the distrust entertained of her movements
looking southwark, create a nervous fear
that England will become involved in
spite of herself in defense of Asian and
European English interests and policies.
Altogether, therefore, the situation is such
as to Justify the activity reported in army
and navy circles in England, and to give
emphasis to the wisdom that proposes
preparation of the very best of defenses
against the hour of trial.

FROM the author we have a neatly
bound copy of the several arguments made
by Hon. Greed Raymond before the Senate
committee discussing the reports of the
Pacific Railway Investigating Commission.
We have already fully commented upon
these admirable arguments. In book form
they are most conveniently arranged for
reference, for which purpose they will be
much used, since they constitute history,
statistical and otherwise, of the construc-
ton, operation and general conduct of the
early transcontinental railways and OF TIE
commercial interests and political and
financial questions most nearly related tc
the railways.
