SARAH ALTHEA CRAZY.
The Once Celebrated Beauty to End
Her Days in a Madhouse.
HER STRANGE ACTIONS IN COURT.
Constantly Talking About Spirits and Her
Husband, the Judge.
THE SHARON LIT1GANT OUT OF THE WAY

SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Mrs. Sarah
Althea Sharon Terry was to-day adjudged
insane and was committed to the State
asylum at Stockton. The proceedings were
conducted before Judge Levys who held
court to-day in larger room, but even
these enlarged quarters were crowded with
spectators, including many prominent citi-
zens. Mrs. Terry, however. did not seem
surprised or nervous at the sight of the
large number of the people, but when the
court opened she began weeping.
Nanny Pleasant, Mrs. Terry's colored
nurse was the first witness examined by
the commissioners. She related the various
Mrs. Terry was insane. "She is constantly
talking about spirits and about Judge
Terry" said Nanny Pleasant, "and 1 am
afraid she may harm herself or Others"
Mrs. Terry here rose and asked permission
to question the witness, which the court
finally granted. She then put a long series
OF interrogations to the witness which Gov.
cred the doings from the time when her
mental trouble first becsme apparent few
weeks ago, to the time she finally left
Nanny Peasants house. These or similar
Terry sometimes displayed considera BILE
clearness and humor, and at other times
wandering i'll her questioning or breaking
into hysterical laughter. Mrs. Terry was
diSO pliccu upon uuo Stduu UuI sue tdlheu
incoherently, and after another witness had
testified tc instances where Mrs. Terry had
displayed irrational symptoms, the court os-
tenSibly adjourned until o'clock.
In the meantime, however, the order COM
mittins her to the Stockton Asylum was
signed by Judge Levy. Mrs. Terry was
taken away in a closed carriage Those who
had been present in the courtroom thronged
the sidewalk to watch her departure. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Terry's insanity is due to
general debility brought on by nervous ten
sion of the past few years. Some friends
believe that by quiet asylum treatment she
may be restored to health in few months,
but others express q fear that she will never
recover her mind.

MARKS RACY LETTER.
Baldwin Tells of Peter Maher's Defeat and
EeckIeY,s Big Hitting.

Baldwin Tells of Peter Maher's Defeat and
BeckIey's Big Hitting.
ore of Mark Baldwin's characteristic let
tors was received at this office yesterday
from Hot Springs. Before beginning to tell
howsbaseball matters are getting along at
Hot Springs he tells of his visit to New Or
leans, where he saw the Maher-Fitzsimmons
battle. Mark says:
"Poor Maher didn't know, you know. He
pie may think I'm quoting from comic
song, but whether am or not what say is
true. Poor Peter Maher! He looked a sor-
rier sight than Pete Browning after falling
to make q hit in n dozen games. The nrSt
round was all right, but after that the affair
was awfullv tame simply because Maher
couldn't hit Fitzsimmons at all. The little
fight we saw near PittSburg one saturday
afternoon was worth n dozen such events as
the Maher and Fitzsimmons contest. This
is as true the fact of Big Jake Becky be-
ing hitter this season.
let me tell you that Beckley is strictly in
il this season as far as preliminary practice
is concerned. He has knocked so many
balls out of sight here during two weeks
that ball playing has been suspended until a
new consignment arrives. And he is play
ing first base in first-class style. And our
old pal Hanlon is in great shape. Ned is
running the bases and in the outfield like
deer. There is also a great improvement in
since my arrival here and 1 found my arm
much better than it was last year at this
time. We bathe every day, and as .he bath
ers or rubbers take good care of us the bene-
fetal results are sure to be apparent during
the lS games to be played"

WILL MAKE A BIG BID.
The East End Gyms Want a Cham
pionShip Athletic Meeting.
ALETTER FROM MARK BALDWIN.
Manager Powers in the City and Secures
the Release of Dan Murphy.
ANOTHER FORFEIT FOR SULLIVAN

Now that the East End Gyms have Sc
Board of the A A. Q. they mean TO gain
all the prominence possible for Pitts1wrg.
Mr.. Wells, who has recently been appointed
on the committee, has been instructed to
make an offer to have the A. A. u. cham
pionship meeting held in Pittsburg this
yea. This resolve has been prompted by a
letter received from the General Secretary
OF the union.
The letter referred to asks the Gyms to
make bid for the meeting, and asks what
inducements Pittsburg can offer. Referring
TO the matter yesterday, Mr. Wells said:
'fWe hardly understand what is meant by
inducements, but we are going to the Wash
incton turner's meeting next week prepared
to make very big offer. OF course, II cash
is meant we may not be in it, but expect
that our rules do not allow cash. We will
guarantee as good prizes as any other city
and as good park. With anything like IA
voIable weather We can guarantee big
crowd. At any rate we mean to bid as
strong as possible for the spring meeting, if
it is not to be held too soon. If We can't get
the spring meeting we will try for the fall
meeting"
without doubt the A. A. L. would do well
to patrcnize this city this year. TheIe never
was a stronger feeling in and about Pitts
burg in favor of amateur athletics. Already
there are two good clubs here members Of
the union and before the year is ended the
Williamsburg and the West End clubs may
also be members. That will make four
strong clubs III this vicinity, and surely that
ought to be lnducemeEt enough for the A.
A. L. TO have Q championship meeting here.
Nothing would do more good to anna ateur
sports in this vicinity than a championship
meeting. The local public would then have
a chance tC see the best amateur talent in
the world. and that talent could rely on
Pittsburg putting up first-class prizes If
the spring meeting cannot be secured the
GYMS should do their best to secure one of
the later meetings. Pittsburg is likely to
get one of them this year.
The local amateurs are well satisfied with
the following new rule: 'No prize shall be
given by an individual club, committee,
sociation or other organization, or accepted
by any athlete except suitably inscribed
wreathes, diplomas, banners, badges,
metals, timepieces, manuel ornaments or
articles of jewelry, silverware, toilet or
table service. Hereafter athlete shall be
held to he a novice in each of IS classes until
he shall have won a prize in a competition
open to the members of two or more clubs
The winning of such a prize shall prevent
his future competition novice in that
class, although his entry may have been
made before he lost his standing as a
novice

Woman in Peoria

Woman in Peoria.
PEORIA, I'LL, March 1O.-A case Of atrocious
cruelty came to light to-day. A little girl 9
years of age was picked up in the snow,

says she is the adopted daughter of W. H
Petty and wife, who came here from Men,
phis n few weeks ago. They made the child
Deddle small articles. and if she does not
sell a named amount they ppcticed the
most inhuman tortures on her.
When assured that she would be shielded
from Petty and his wife, the child said they
frequently tied her up by the thumbs and
severely beat her. Then they would burn
her arms and legs with a red hot poker, and
rub salt into the sores. Her little body Is
mass of burns, kicks and bruises from head
to foot.
Petty and his wife attempted to escape
from the city tonight, but were intercepted
and arrested. The woman had $500 sewed
up in her dress, and they pawned diamonds
valued at 81, COO late this evening. 1t is ure-
suned these diamonds were stolen. There
is an intense feeling growing and they were
removed to the Jail tonight for safe keep

Serious Charge.
NEW CASTLE, Pa, March l0.-[Specidl1 J.
This evening Constable Cornelius, of this
place, went to the college town 3f New Will
min.ton to serve warrants on nearly q
dozen students, on ugly charges made by
Joseph Rutter, who resides near West Mid
dlesex. Mercer county. Considerable ex
citement was created here by the statement
that. several well-known local men were
wanted on the same charge.
The informations were sworn out before
Alderman Samuel Bowman, of this city, and
make the startling allegations that the
Young students one night during the past
month dragged and forced Maggie Rutter,
the prosecutors daughter, to a secluded
spot, where they committed n felonious
assault upon her. The charges in detail are
simply shocking, and as many of the young
fellows are from the best families in this
city and district, the sensation tonight is
profound.
The information. give the names of the
following young men upon whom Constable
Cornelius served warrants tonight: w. b.
Denslow, John Cook, NJ. D. McNabb, q. w.
McNaughton, W. Dunn, w. L. Aiken, John

An Able Lawyer Says Under the Treaty With
Japan This Government Cannot Act.
DUBUQUE. IA, March 10.--Letters have been
received here from Lieutenant Hethering-
ton and other officers of the Marion. They
confirm the published accounts of the kill
ing OF Robinson at Yokohama, and say that
Hetherington has ample proof that he was
justified in shooting Robinson. 1t is also
alleged that there is evidence that Robinson
had arranged an elopement with Mrs. Heth-
erington.
In an interview tonight ex-senator
Knight raises the point whether Lieutenant
Hetherington can be lawfully tried in the
Consular Court in Japan. whether he can be
tried by other than court having grand
and petit jury. Mr.. Knight queries whether
as by our treaty with Japan judicial control
and jurisdiction over American citizens in
Japan is reserved to this Government, the
latter can proceed against Hetherington
in any different manner than it the crime
had been committed within the territorial
limits of the United States. As Congress has
made no provision for the trial of such q
case as this one in the ordinary way of our
judicial procedure, Mr.. Knight is inclined
to the opinion that the Lieutenant cannot
be tried at all and must go free. He says
this could be Immediately tested by habeas
corpus proceedings in the Supreme Court of
tie United States, and believes that in such
a proceeding Hetherington would be dis
charged.

hours were spent to-day impaneling jury
in the case of Elmer Bruner, who mad en-
tered plea of not guilty on his second trial
for the murder of old man Rees. When tho

the grade OF crime A decision will not be

as the murder, which was most foul, took
place so near the judges home that he is
conversant with all the circumstances. The
people at Ebensburg will feel outraged at u
less severe penalty. .,.,
