The Sharon Divorce Case Receives Ii
Ouierus at Last.

The Sharon Divorce Case Receives Its
Quietus at Last.
The Supreme Court rendered decision
yesterday which sets at rest all litigation
growing out of the famous contract of mar
riage that was alleged to have been made
between the late William Sharon and Sarah
Althea Hill, now Mrs Terry. The decision
was upon the appeal from an order of ex-
Judge Sullivan of the Superior Court COM
polling the executor of the Sharon estate to
pay her the sum Of S6614 alimOny and
S625 % costs.
In the divorce suit il will be remembered
she set up as the sole evidence of her mar
riage certain written contract of marriage,
which she averred had been signed by
Sharon and herself. Sharon, previous to
the commencement Of her suit for divorce,
had Instituted proceedings in the United
States Circuit Court for the purpose of OBJ
tanning decree designating the agreement
of marriage as fraudulent and void. After
the divorce case in the State court had
been decided the United States Circuit
Court declared that the alleged marriage
contract was null and void.
The Supreme Court in its decision yester-
day says that the United States Circuit
Court had obtained prior jurisdiction over
all other courts in the matter, and that
therefore its finding must be final with all
courts. The Circuit Court found tho agree
ment of marriage null and void, and with
out the agreement there could have been
no marriage, without the marriage there
could be no divorce, and as the judgment
for alimony and costs could only accompany
a decree of divorce, necessarily the order OF
the lower court compelling payment OF the
alimOny and costs from the Sharon estate
is invalid.
The decision expressly states that all
State courts must regard the whole question
as being finally and decisiyely settled.

THE FATAL FIGHT.

Opinions of President Fulda, Jackson
and Steinbach.
The death OF Harry Mcbride. resulting from a
fsIc engagement at The Golden Gate Club last
Monday night, created quite stir yesterday
among The sporting fraternity. The expression
THAT ends club fights in san Francisco" was
drummed into CALL reporters ear whenever
he happened across men OF sporting procllvlties.
TO ascertain tile effect it bad upon clubs at
which regular monthly fstlc festivals have been
held, the following interviews were had:
THE WISE PARsoN."
Parson" Davies, the wellknown manager
of athletes and pugilists, was seen last evening
as he was preparing TO leave for the East.
80 What do you think Of that fatal fight at the
Golden Gate Club last evening, Mr.. Davies ?'
ION. It's bad, very bad indeed for the sport"
remarked 1.-The PaTson" IN very serious tone OF
voice. THE occurrence calls 10 my mind au

ward on the floor as dead as dO0r-1ail.
He was not even marked at the tine he
fell and the excitement attending this
affair was intense. The principals, seconds
and a number OF the spectators were placed I'M
der arrest. The Inquest proved that tie pugilist
had died from heart disease, death being caused
by the excitement OF the fight. Neither of the
contestants was prepared for the fight. but had
they been In condition the result might have been
the end OF boxing contests in this city. In my
travels about town to-day ina that public SEN
timent is very strongly opposed TO continuation
OF sl0ggng matches such as the one uf last night"
QUITE PoLITIC.
Ross jackson, President of the Occidental
Athletic Club was seen yesterday. He did not
seem TO think that the fatal ending OF Monday
evenings fight at the Golden Gate would affect
the Occidental or California clubs.
al the Golden Gate Club had observed the
rules Which govern other organizations of its
Kind" said Jackson There would be no danger
arising from boxing matches with the proper
/ understand that the contestants knew
nothing about boxing. and the result attending
contests OF this kind is always to be dreaded
more particularly when the contestants are in
an unframed state. For some months after the
Occidental Club was organized, gangs OF the
toughest element which inbabit Hayes street
applied to me frequently for permission TO hold
fight IN our club-room. l oil course objected,
and cautioned the Directors to be particular and
not permit any one not member OF the club to
enter the gymnasium or make use OF the ring for
the purpose OF holding therein a contest with
gloves"

will stop the usual monthly exhibitions in the
clubs 2" was asked.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
First Meeting of the Citizens
Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee Of the Fourth
of July Citizens Committee met in Justice
Murasky's courtroom at the new City Hal
last evening, Captain James f. Smith pre-
siding.
On motion of J. O'Donnell, the appoint
ment of the sub committees was left to the
Chairman and Grand Marshal, and proper
time was allowed them in which to make
the selection.
Messrs. Steinbach, Mcdonald, Tolle,
Chairman Smith and Grand Marshal
o Brien were appointed a committee to
select permanent Headquarters for the com
mittee.
ID. Il. Mcneil presented the following
for consideration:
Gentlemen: 1 beg leave to suggest TO YOU
honorable body a proposition which L believe
requires only to be mentioned In order to touch
responsive chord In the heart OF every Amerl
can Citizen and in the hearts OF millions besides
American citizens who have been benefited by
the results Of the war Of the Revolution.

IN our struggle for national Independence. 1t 1:
plain TO every liDerty-lOylDg person how mucl
cause we have for gratitude. France gave
us substantial aid III the hour of OUT poverty and
peril, and no expression that we in our D. ogress
and prosperity may make can adequately con-
Yey our sense OF respect and gratitude.
L deem 1t eminently proper the Initiative, so
lar as san Francisco Is concerned, SD0ulQ De

has been selected by the city authorities TO pre-
pare for a glorious accomplishment in which
France so n0bly assisted

late some plan by which the people OF the city Of
San Francisco may be afforded an opportunity OF
contributing their mite toward this publle-sptr
tied effort on the part Of the COMMITTEES WHO have
this matter In charge.
The matter was referred to a special
committee of five, to be appointed by the
Chairman.
A communication was received from the
Musical Independent Union, asking that il
be allowed representation in the parade
and offering more advantageous terms than
the Musicians Protective Union. Thi;
communication was referred to the Com
mittee on Music.
William Clark made a motion that the
Music Committee be instructed to employ
no other musicians than those belonging to
the Musicians Protective Union, and the
motion was carried.
Mr.. Steinbach called attention to the fact
that five secretaries have been appointed
for the General Committee. He thought
this number too great, and some action
should be taken TO curtail expenses in that
direction. A discussion ensued on the
Secretary one assistant and the Grand Mar
shall one clerk. The Secretary and Grand
Marshal were given the power to choose
their respective assistants.
The Grand Marshal was also delegated
the power to appoint Sergeant-at-Arms
to be present at all the meetings and to
take care of the headquarters.
The committee adjourned to the call of

The Ex-senator INDUCES in a ID splay of
Ili-HumOr.


Ili-HumOr.
Ex-senator John Dougherty, Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, has seen ut to
allow his customary equanimity TO be disturbed
by the following extract from an item which ap-
peared on June 9th:
Chairman Dougherty then made brief speech, in
which he gently denounced what he termed piece
clubs" meaning certain political organizations OF
He regarded them detrimental TO the best inter
ests of the party aud as calculated to breed dssen
would bear In mind the admonition, and work solely
for the best interests of the party.
1t was supposed that the Senator was too old a
hand at the political game TO allow tribes TO irr.
tale him, out there are signs on his part Of
anger. He has even gone so far as to express
feelings OF resentment and TO indulge In mid
threats.
The cause OF his wrath Is not quite plain, but
1t seems that lie has been caught up for making
certain unguafdrd remarks and 10 shift the
blame has resorted to the threadbare device Of
denying the truth OF The report. IL seems that
his remarks concerning piece ciubsp as
stated above, provoked the resentment OF GER
tain organizations, chief among which was one
that gave notice that meeting would be held on
Monday evening last TO denounce the action OF
the Chairman. They met as announced and the
President stated that the members had been
very indignant over a statement published In
which IT was alleged that MIR. Dougherty had re-
ferred TO that particular organization as a
"plece cluD.N
MT. Dougherty OF course could easily deny, as
he did, that he had referred to the club as a
piece club" and this was the subterfuge TO
which he res0rted to squirm out OF the hole in
which lie had placed himself.
IL Is evident that he discovered his error aud
planned his retreat at once. drawing off his forces
in good shape.
The whole truth OF the matter Is that Mr..
DOugherty's sweeping remarks about piece
clubs" struck sensitive chord and created an
opposition which he saw could be easiest over
come by the use OF a little skillful Diplomacy.
His anger can hardly, therefore, be real, and is
probably assumed for the sake OF carrying out
the defense Which he undertook.

The Rspub lean Executive Committee" tc
Have a New President - Senator
Dougherty in the Dumps.

The war between the Republican Execu-
tive Committee on the one hand and the
followers of Kelly and Crimmins on the
other goes merrily on. The former are
accusing the latter of an attempt to accom-
plIsh political coup d'etat, by which they
hope to grasp the reins of power and seat
themselves firmly on the party throne.
They claim III order to carry out their
designs Kelly and Crimmins are arranging
to appoint the delegates to the legislative
and county conventions. instead of electing
them by primaries.
Said member of the Executive Com
mittee yesterday: "The resolutions intro
duced at the meeting on Monday night were
intended as warning to those back OF the
scheme. We want it understood that we
are Republicans first. last and all the time. "
In the meantime. however. all is not har-
mony in the internal affairs of the Execu-
tive Committee. There is much dissatisfac-
ton in certain quarters relative to the man
agement of affairs, and the result will be
that President Dunn will probably be COM
PEELED to step down and out to make room
for some one more in harmony with the
views of the powers behind the throne.
The matter has been under advisement for
some time, but Dunn has not relished the
idea of being deposed. In fact he has OBJ
jected to it most strenuously, and at first
fatty refused to give way. He gave notice
that he WAS in the fight to stay, but the
forces arrayed against him proved a potent
argument, and he is now compelled to retire
as gracefully as possible. 1t is said that he
has been induced" to resign, and that his
place will be vacant in few days.
Who his successor will be has not been
made public, but the man most frequently
mentioned Is A. Z. Briggs Of the State
Central Committee. 1t is said that Andrew
A. Louderback and Briggs have long since
formed close political partnership, and
this gives a strong color to the rumor of
the latter's succeeding to the vacant chair
manship.
1t is admitted by members Of the Ex-
ecutiye Committee that the leading spirit
although unknown to the rank and file, is
Dick Chute, and it is charged that he is the
author of the resolutions which nave been
passed from time to time.
