The Supreme Court Pechles A Claim. ;nhiHt Her San Franoisco, July 17. The supreme court of California to-day rendered a decision on the appeal from . the judg ment of Judgd Sullivan of the superior court refusing a new trial in the cele braled Sharon divorce oaso. Judge- Sul-Hv.-ia liwUi that the marriago contract between the lute ex-Senator William Sharon and Sarah Althea Terry was Valid and that the parties were legally husband and wife. The supreme court finds that they kept their marriage (if there was one) and their relation as hus band aud wife seoret, and that for this reason the marriage was never consum mated. The case is remanded for new trial. "I think the decision which was hand ed down to-day practically ends the case," said Attorney Herrin who has now charge of the Sharon case. "The supreme court now says thore cau be no purely seoret marriage. Seoreoy has been the foundation of Sarah Althea's case so far. The ouly way iu which she Can further renew the oaae would be by bringing forward testimony that the marriage was public. I hardly think she will do this. We never have paid a cent of alimouey. Judge Sullivan granted 82500 a month alimoney, and the supreme oourt reduced this to $500 a month whioh we never paid. Judge Sullivan then gave judgement against us for $00l)0. Meanwhile the circuit court had rendered a decision, and on this we based a now appeal to the su preme oourt of the state of California, whioh is now pending. Should wo lose the alimonoy case in thef supreme court of the United States. Iu my opinion, to day's work puts a quietus on the whole business." ENDED AT LAST. Mrs. Terry linn uo KecourHO in Hor Hour of jjeicuii San Fbancisco, July 17. The decis ion of the supreme court iu the Sharon case, reversing the judgment of the low er court, virtually ends one of the most oelebrated oases in the aunals of Cal ifornia jurisprudence. Although a new trial is ordered by the highest tribunal, it would seem that the cause must ' ter minate with this decision, siuco the principal actor to the suit, Seuator Sha ron js dead, aud that it is impossible to make the trustees of his .estate defend ants to ft suit for divorce against a do oeased person. Plaiutill' herself has been married since Judge Sullivan ren dered his deoision; the marriage con tract has been burned, nud even if it were iu existenoo, a question miglit have ariseij if it would be allowed to be in troduced iu evidence aftor the federal oourt has declared it a forgory aud or dered to he cancelled, aud after the United States supreme oourt has affirm ed that decision, it iB believed that un der these circumstances the duo anient whioh the plaintiff declared she valued higher than her life, would not have auy standing in court. But besides the marriage ooutract, her principal witnesses have deserted her. Mary Brackett, who testified that she was secreted behind a bureau while plaintiff and the late senator were nestl ed in each othor's arms, aud whon the latter told his alleged wife that she was his legal and only spouse, subsequently denied, the truth of her testimony, and swore that she had perjured herself at her former examination. Martha Wil son, the oolored woman, who claimed that the marriage contract had been con cealed, behind a mirror in hor house shortly after it is claimed that it was ex ecuted, also uckuowledgod that she had perjured herself, and that she had never seen the alleged document. STILL ON TUB FIKLl). Judge Terry, wheD asked if this de oision ended the litigation, replied that a new trial was .to be had, aud although the famous marriage contract was de stroyed by the conflagration, they had photographic copies of it ami can prove its existenoe by oral testimony. One of Terry's oouncil added that the fight had, in fact began anew, and it iu as if it was just commencing. THE C'OLI SII1IA Id VEU. lieportH of Hie OmwrHin Clmri;e of the Jm provciiieiitx. Washinoton, July 17. The report of Major Thos. Haubury, engineer iu charge of the improvements at the mouth of the Columbia river, and tho report ot Lieu tenant Edward Burr on tho canal at the Cascades, have been reoeived at the war department. The existing project at tho mouth of the river was curried on suc cessfully during the year. Congress ap propriated iu IhHH, half a million dollars. There was expended during tho year, $307,000. Major Handbury thinks that $700,000 can be profitably expended dur ing the next fiscal year. The government's plant has been largely increased during tho past year. The tramway for dumping rock wan extended 41!0 feet during that period, and 03, ICS tons of rock wore received aud dumped into the jetty. The engineer reports that the effect of the Dew work can already be seeu iu the filling in of the fiats south of the jetty, and the straightening of the channel over the bar. AT TUB rARCADES. Concerning the work of the canal around the Cascades of tbe Columbia, LieuO'iibnt P'.irr reports good, prngrcun has been made in excavation and blast ing. C'liigress, in August, 1S8S, appro printed 3300,000 for this work, and 8200,555 was expended during the year 87OO,0OU can be profitably expended Dext year. About 112,000 cubic yards of rock was blasted and taken out during the year. Some progress was made with the wnlls of tho canal. Work was con tiuued all the year round, not a day be ing lost 011 account of the weather. Jlnjor Hamlbnry reports good pro gress during the year in improving the C'helialis river in Washington Territory. The sum of $2000 was appropriated for this purpose by the River and Harbor bill, of which 700 was expended last year. Major Handoury wants $3000 for next year. The principal work is snag ging, and iho river has been practically olefired for navigation from Elma to Montosano. flagging work has also been done in the Skagit, Stilaquamish, Nootsack, Snohomish and Suoquahnie rivers in Washington Territory Congress ap propriated $15,000 for this work in the river and harbor bill, of which about $11,000 was expended. Major Handbury asks for $15,000 for the next year, and says that that amount should be appro priated every year' to keep tho snag boat in successful operatiou. Of tho $1500 nppropriated'by Congress Inst year for ganging the waters of the Columbia river, $415 were expended. THE SLCliUEltS. Arrival of a Detective AVith a Henuisitlon New Youk, July IS. A detective ar rived from Mississippi With a requisition from Governor Lowry, calling for the arrest of Charley Mitchell and Mike Donovan. He has no requisition for Sullivan, Kilraiu or Muldoon. Search is being made for them. THE r-APEliS NUT YET r RESENTED, New Youk, July 18. Aqting District Attorney General Golf said to-day that the icquisitions for the parties and prin cipals in the Kilrain-Sullivau fight hud not yet readied his olBoe. "The men" he said "who were identified with the fight when arrested, will of oourse he turned over to Governor Lowry, and it ia certain that Governor Hill will con sent, as long as the necessary pupers are shown." OOV. LOWRY WILL WAIT FOR THE GRAND JURY. New York, July IH. Detect! ve Norris, of Mississippi, was at the poliae bend qunrters to-day and stated that he had been rofusod warrants at the Tombs po lice oourt for the arrest ot Mitchell aud Donovan, and that he had sent a tele gram to that effeot to Governor Lowry. In reply he received the following dis patch . You need not arrest and detain the parties as fugitives from this state ns you suggested. We will wait the inves tigation of tho grand jury.

A Democratic Deal in Favor of Ex-Seorotury Whitney. New York, July 17. A report is our rent in demoorntioielitical circles that a deal baa bee" made whioh shelves ex- President Cleveland permanently, and places ex-Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney in the lead us the democrat ic presidential candidate for 1802. Last week then, was an influx of demoratio leaders from Ohio to see Colonel Brice, chuirman of the national committoo. . A prominent Cleveland democrat said yesttrdoy that he had every reason to believe that tho machine democats had decided Cleveland's fate. Senator Gornii' j, of Maryland, was at first op posed to the election of Colonel Brice as chairman of tho national oummittee. He felt that the colonel represented tbe free trade ideas of Cleveland, and he did not wish to have another campaign on the same issue as that of 18-48. His opposi tion to Brice was assuming a definite shape, when the leaders met and mapped out a oourso that placated the Maryland senator and made him an enthusiastic supporter of Brice. The dual was that Whitney should have the support of the committee for the presidency in 1H1I2, and that Colonel ISrico should be elected chairman and then should make a strong fight for the senator from Ohio. If he failed to sue ceed Senator Payne, then he waH to be supported by tbe committee for tbe vice presidency. The Batiilall-Gormaii wing has won the prominent Cleveland demo crats by promising to see that they are well taken care of if tho democratic ticket wins iu 1802. Ex-President Cleveland still thinks his most influential friends are for him. FOR A SECOND TERM, Secretary Hunk Hays Harrison Will lie Cuutliihtte fur Re-election. Niiw York, July 17. Tho Times, Washington special quotes .Secretary Husk on tho presidential outlook for 1802 as follows : "HurriHon will be the candidate, anil a right popular mid sue- Cessna one no will oe, too. "You have no doubt that Harrison will be a candidate ?" "Noue whatever." "And think he will wiu?" Of oourse he will win. Ho is making a most popular president, especially with tho common people, Of course there are some politicians who think he is not making removals as fast as would wish, but President Harrison is a level, clear headed man, who known what ho is ab',ut, and will prove himself one of the bent, as well as one of the most popular presidents. But there is no use of going any furthur- you will be printing an in terview, and don't you go and do it." THE JOHNSTOWN SUFFERERS Distribution of Money By the State Continn ed Complaints of Former Carelessness. Johnstown, Pa., July 18. The dis tribution of the $500,000, which the state commission said should be made to the flood sufferers, began to-day. Judge Cumming began with the sixth ward, and expeots, to be able to pay out the claimants eaoh day until he gets through. He will take the district by wards to enable him to handle the mat ters systematically. The treasurer of the oommiesiou will be with him ready to cash the drafts as they are issued, if re quired, but he will advise the sufferers to deposit their money in the bank and do business systematically with bank accounts. The disposition of the funds al ready disposed of is still the suhjeot of comment, and Yesterday a gentleman presented to the Johnstown finance committee a telegram from James Gor don Bennett demanding an accounting for the New York Herald fund, amount ing to about $25,000. The Johnstown committee claim that the demand ia un warrantable. It is hardly to be expect ed that actual misappropriations will be shown, but the belief is general that there has been extensive oarelessness. THE CASCADE LOCKS. Major Handbury'8 Recommendations on the Manner of Their Construction. Washington, July 18. Major Hand- bury, in his report on the construction of the looks at the oascades, says: "It is pretty evident that the stone for the larger piers of the work will have to be obtained from a distance, and the out look in that particultar is not encour aging. On aooonut of the difficulty in getting building stone it is recommend ed that the side walls of the locks and the great mass of masonry required about the locks aud the guard gates be made of ooncrete. The bottom of the locks should be lined with same materi al." In the opinion of Mojor Handbury, nothing should interfere with the speedy completion of the first look and the early opening of the oourse to some kind of navigation.

He swore for spending money neoessay for our expenses, and he called ma names of inconceivable vileness before our servant. He threatened my life oonstantly and made me so miserable that now when I look back I wonder how I managed to live through it and appear happy. Ho drew up papers some time ago for me to sign, relinquishiug all claims to my share of the oommunity property, in oonsidertion of a small income. He knew that I wanted to get a divorce and he tried to make me sign the paper, say ing I had done things that should en title him to a divorce. He offered me my boy, Clinton, if I would sign the papers and take the allowanoe. He protended to be proud of his boy, and professed to love him but he was wil ling to give him up if only he oould make me release my own and my ohild's claim to our share of the estate. Of oourse I oould not do that, aud he treat ed me spitefully and brutally." " ANOTHER BLAZE. Tacomn Alarmed hy Fire Early this Morning. Taooma, W.
