Peace within Sight for Hayt,.

A special from Port au-Prin of All
gust 9Th says: These are exciting times
for Hayti. The Spanish gunboat Sanchez
went to st. Marc last Monday morning,
having the English co~nsul-eeneral and the
Spanish consul on board. The two con-
snls were empowered to make peace with
Gen. Hippolyte, but the first demand of
Legitilne. that the northern army
should be withdrawn, and that Hip
polyte was to enter Port-au-P Prince
with a small body guard, Knocked that
arrangement in the head. Hippolyte then
dictated his own terms md the Spanish
gunhoat returned here Tuesday evening.
The meeting in the palace directly after
was stormy. 1t is generally understood in
Port au-Prince that q cessation of hostili-
ties has been arranged.
Tho English gunboat Forward has left
here and her destination. though secret. is
probably st. Marc, Legitime probably
having agreed to H,ppolyte's terms. There
is a umo on the streets that Legitinle has
been guaranteed safe passage ont Of the
country and q certain amount of cash and
that he is to leave here en- Il French
steamer August 18th, but many think his
life will not be spared that long in Port

along its way, but by farmers and pros

foor luck was experienced by the hunters
at Belleviile, though numerous small gems
were found, but at Broadhead, forty miles
south, a negro barber named Smith dis
covered a clam which enclosed a superb
light pink pearl, the size of a pea. for
which a resident physician promptly
offered him Sl0n. The offer was declined.
The lucky barber opened 500 bivalyes be-
fore he struck the bonanza which made his
eyes bulge. Some 400 pearls were found at
Broadhead, only a few of which were of
any value In many cases. however, from
81 to $40 was offered for them. At that
point women on the shore opened the
clans, while the mon waded in the water
and gathered them. 1t has been discov-
cred that City Marshal Lewis of Broad
head has been secretly finding and selling
pearls for two months past, and that he
was told of their existence in Sugar river
by the original Norwegian d~iscoverer. At

SARAH ALTHEA HILL,

He was not accosted, and if the notice of
the chief of police, claimed to have been
sent by the district attorney of San Joa-
quin, was forwarded in that form it was
not needed.
A passenger on the train at Lathrop says
that when he heard the shooting he rushed
out Of the car and saw Mrs. Terry with a
sachel i'll her hand. She was trying to
open it and he took it from her. She tried
to regain possession of it but failed.
When the sacllel was opened a%ftorward u
pistol was found in it..
1t is claimed that protection by tho
federal officers was given Justice Field by
authority of Attorney-General Miller, who
telegraphed from Washington to the
marshal Of the district to see that the
person OF Che justice was protected ut any
hazard. The order extended also to Judge
Sawyer of the United States Circuit court
in this city, upon whom Mrs. Terry
made a personal assault last year while
on Il railway train accompanied by Judge
Terry. The order was based upon this
fact and upon threats declared to have
Leen made openly by Terry against Justice
Field. Deputy Marshal Maggie was
directed to accompany Justice Field under
this order, and he is said to nave given
Judge Terry full warning to stop when
the latter began his attack upon Justice
Field, and only fired at Terry as the latter
was about to strike a second time.
Among the passengers on the Southern
overland train was Col. H. G. Otis, editor
Of the Los Angeles Times. He was stand
ing outside of the depot dining-room when
the Shooting of Judge Terry occurred, and
was at the scene of the tragedy a moment
later. In an interview he said: ''The
train arrived at Lathrop at 7:10. Justice
Field was among the first of the passen-
gers to enter the dining-room He took a
seat at n table facing the door. United
States Deputy Marshal Maggie sat at his
side. Soon after they sat down David S.
Terry and his wife entered the room.
When Mrs. Terry saw Justice Field she
turned and hurriedly went out of the room
to the train, tie supposition being tina she
went after a pistol or a bottle OF vitriol.
Terry sat down ct q table further up
the dining-room. Presently he arose and
walked over to the latter's chair.
Judge Field was leaning over his plate
at tho time and Terry approached him
from behind, and without a word Of warn
ing dealt him a blow on the side Of the
face. At hat instant Maggie cried: .sHold,
hands off that manl'' Terry did not heed
the marshal's warning M raised his
clinched fist to deliver a second blow.

the plaintiff, Sarah Althea Hill, and later
married her. Last year Justice Field ren-
dered u decision in the case, in which he
held that Mrs. Terry had never been the
lawful wife of Sharon. whereupon Mrs.
Terry denounced him in open court AS cor
rupt, and made SO great n disturbance
that Judge Field ordered an officer of the
court to take her into custody. She re-
sisted tho officer, and Terry taking her
part, both were removed from the court
room. Later, while his wife was under
arrest, Terry attacked the officer in charge
of her with a dagger. but was disarmed.
Both Terry and his wife were committed
to jail for contempt of court by Judge
Field, Terry being sentenced to imprison-
ment for six months.

Terry was received in Washington with

Supreme court that it was the intention Of
Terry t. make an attempt upon the life of
Justice Field. 1t is understood that this
