MRS, TERRY's CARRIER,
The circumstances Of the shooting Of
Terry were involved in the career Of
Sarah Althea Hill Terry as one Of the
most extraordinary women ofthe age,
Sarah Althea Hill was born at Cape GIL
Eardeau, Missouri, in 1850, Her father
was Samuel Hill, an attorney, and her
mother was Julia Sloan, an heiFess, She
inherited twenty thousand dollars and
was graduated from Q convent. Miss
Hill was q girl Of more than ordinary
personal beauty, but was regarded as
vain and selfish, anxious TO excel in
personal charms, She was something OF
q tllrt, and at one time had three engage
ments 10 marry, Her engagement 10
marry young man who has since be-
come q politician OF national fame, was
broken, which 80 preyed on the young
lady's mind that In September 1870, she
bid her native town adieu and started
with the wreck Of her fortune for Cali
iornia, A young man named William
Sloan accompanied her to the Pacific
coast, He was wealthy, and took his
niece TO his mothers home, Sarah and
the old lady did not live in harmony, and
Mr., Sloan gave his niece fine suite OF
rooms In Q prominent San Francisco
hotel. II was there she met Senator
Sharon. This wasin 1880, In 1884 Miss
Hill claimed 10 be the wife Of the Sen.
ator by virtue OF q secret marriage, and
sued for a divorce. The defense was
that no marriage had ever taken place.
She produced q written contract oil mar.
riage. Az first the courts sustained her
claim, and she got divorce and judg,
ment for a share In his vast estate. The
litigation was prosecuted and defended
with bitter determination for years In
both State and Federal courts. During
its progress Sharon died and Judge
Terry married Miss Hill, for whom he
had been acting as counsel. The final
result was that the pretended marriage
agreement was declared a forgery
and Sarah Althea Hill-Terry was
held never entitled to either the name
or the money OF Sharon.

ed in the early part Of 1850, was sold a
few days since to General James b. Colt,
OF Washington. After the execution OF

carpenter, who build porch Of 1t on the
property Of Mr.. Sheets, OF that place.
The porch was built in 1850, and remain
ed standing until two years ago, when
the property was bought by j, NJ. Coyle,
who organized a company and began TO
negotiate with admirers ofJohn Brown
for the sale Of the scailiold lumber.
Positive proof Of the identity OF this
lumber is In existence, II having been
handled by only four men since 1t was
first purchased In 1850 for tho execution
OF Brown. It has been kept under lock
and key, and guarded as a great treasure
ever since the Coyles have owned 1t.
General Colt had the lumber refashioned
into a scaffold and shipped to Washing
ton. The General says that he intends
to publicly exhibit the sca1old, and says
that he intends TO use the proceeds for
the erection OF o monument to John
Brown, which will be located on the
Shenandoah river, midway between
Harper's Ferry and Charlestown, O where
he recently purchased a fine farm.
General Colt Is native OF the Nutmeg

served in the Army Of the Potomac dur

ANOTHER RACE WAR
"JayblrdS'' and "WoodpssksrS" Have
Pitched Battle in Texas,

AUSTIN, TEX, August is. = Friday

saying that a fight had occurred between
the "Jaybirds" and "Woodpeckers,' ;
rival political factions, in which sheEif
Garyey and Deputy John Blakeney
were Killed and several others wounded,
The dispatch said that the fighting was
still in progress and that troops were
needed,
AIllspatch from Richmond gives The
following particulars OF the riot; The
ieud between the "Jaybirds" aud the
"Woodpeckers" was resumed last even
ing. Judge j, W, Parker met Volney
and Grit iGibson andimmedlately opened
fire upon them, The fire was returned
by the Gibsons. Parker was wounded
and at once ran in the direction oil the
court house, closely followed by Grill
Gibson. When Parker reached the
Court House he was joined by more
officers and q general hght ensued, in
which ], Blankeney and Sheriff Garyey
were killed. H, II, Frost, Volney Glib
son and William Andrews were wound-
ed. Gibson's and Andrews injuries are
not fatal, M. Schmidt, a Texas ranger,
was wounded slightly in the leg, and q
little negro girl was killed by wild

IATER-THR SITUATION,
The situation is quiet here since the
terrible riot in which Sheriff Garvey and
Ex.sheriR Blakely lost their lives and
several prominent citizens were wound
ed. The Light Guard OF Houston are
here. Governor Ross arrived yesterday
accompanied by the Brentham Light
Guard. 1t Is thought the military will
mot be needed, at least for the present.
As the Sheriff has been killed and his
deputy wounded, no arrests have been
made, nor has any inquest been held to
investigate the cause OF death, though
the parties have been buried. 1t is
thought that all will be left to the grand
jury for settlement.

day made novel attempt at suicide that

Musser was arrested yesterday afternoon
at the Union depot charged with the
theft Of numerous satchels, In three Of
the satchels were valuable payers, which
he hid in different parts of the city. To.
day, guarded by two officers, he was
taken out to find the papers, and while
passing a cable street railroad, threw
himself in front Of a passing train before
the officers could restrain him, and sus-
tanned injuries that will prove fatal.
Musser was noted In Missouri for q
duel fought in war times with Robert
Hancock, q rival newspaper editor, at
Brunswick, Mo. The formers revolver
missed fire; but he stood calmly in his
position while his antagonist shot at him
three times. Then grasping the cane oi

would not permit the Papal Treasure or

could not prevent the Pope's personal

balancing the increased Centerist hos
