Prime Minister Ferry Says, In a private conversation, “The English press, by eging China on, is siding against Europe. ‘The confidence 1t gives the Chinese may next be turned against England. Commercial nations are natur- ally uneasy at our action, Dut once resolved on re- dress we must deal blows which will tell” M. Ferry disavowed @ polley of colonial ‘conquest. “My whole duty,” he declared, “Is to finish ent originally ill-conceived und fli-managed. We want a peaceful occupation of ‘Tonquin, and we want to enforce on China the respect she owes us Euro- pean Interesis need not be alarmed atthis. We are acling for the ctviilzed world.” A FRENCH TOREAT OF RETALIATION ON ENGLAND. ‘The Figaro, in an editorial article concerning Egypt, comments upon the increase of the Engitsh troops in that country from 6,000 to 14,000 men, and says an explanation is necessary. If it is a design to stop the passage of the French through the Suez canal, in the event of an Angio-Chinese alliance, the Figaro says France keeps 51,000 troops in Alge: ria. and ‘Tunls, who are ready to cross Tripoli and selze Cairo when so ordered. NO MASSACRE OP THE FRENCH IN TONQUIN. A Paris cablegram says: There 1s no confirmation of the news of a massacre in Tonquin. Onthe con- trary, It 1s afllr med that the delta is in no danger.

MAGGIE JONES, MARRIED AT FIFTEEN, NOW PLEADS FOR 4 DIVORCE. The Baltimore American to-day says: Maggie O. Jones, through Alfred J. Carr, yesterday filed a bill in the city circuit court praying for a divorce from her husband, Thomas A. Jones, deputy warden at the house of correction, to whom she was married June 12, 1877. She alleges that at the time of her marriage she was about fifteen years of age, and that on betng taken to the residence of her husband, on Bast Biddle street, she was surprised to leard that he was the father of nine children, eight of whom were older tuan herself; that during the first five months after marriage the treatinent ahe received from the children forced her to return to her mother on four or five occasions, and that on the last occasion she refused to return to her hus- band again, if he wanted her to live with his chil- dren, Mer husband Len took her to room-keeping until May 6, 1878, when she gave birth to a boy child, Edward A’ Jones He then wanted her to re- turn to live with the other children, and on her re- Tusal, she alleges, he moved out all the furniture, and she was compelied to return again to her mother. They afterwards agreed to board together, Dut her husband failing to pay her board, the com= Plainane, says she was compelled to 40 vo shirt Mnaking; that she afterwards committe cretion and left her husband tor a time, but that he afterwards forgave and condoned her fault, and again lived with her both in Baltimore and Anne Arundel county, near the house of correction, where her husbahd was employed. About a year ago, however, her husband again took her ¢hild away, and she was only permitted to see 1t by or- der of the court, obtained by writ of habeas corpus. ‘She asks for a divorce and the custody of her child. ‘Was There a Marriage Contract? MISS HILL LISTENS TO A VIGOROUS DENUNCIATION OF WER CLAIMS BY SHAKON’ SEL. A telegram from San Francisco Weduesday says: Senator Sharon did not appear In the court-room on the second day of the argument of Mr. Evans, but about midday Miss Hill entered and was an atten- Uive listener to the argument for more than an hour. Mr. Evans denounced In strong terms what he characterized as the pretensions or the piaintift in claiming to be the wife of Mr. Sharon. If she has been really his wife, or even felt that the so-called inarrlage contract entitled her to any claim on his estate, her course would have been widely different Vo what it really was, ‘Mr. Evans considered the evidence of the plaintiff in regard to various money transactions between, herself and the defendant. “Why,” he asked, “should she have been so doggedly determined 16 secure obligations of money froin Mr. Sharon in the fall of 18817 She says tt. was because he was about to undergo a surgical operation the resutt of which was doubtful. If she knew Uiat she was his wife, and in the case of “his death would have a claim in | his estate, she would not have been so anxious about obligations from hin. her husband, she say about a paltry #7, loreover, for her to take ob- ligations from William Sharon as Alle Hill would be evidence against her belng hts witow, yet she was anxious for such of her obligatlons—for they were her wages.” He next spoke of the scenes in the Palace hotel, when the plaintiff was ordered out of the hotel by a police olficer and told to take the servants’ eleva- He was a millionaire, wife permitting a servant to show her out of her husband’s hotel, using violent force, and yet that wife not asserting her rights? Mr. Evans pro nounced the long letter, filled with witely devotion, which plainuf alleges she sent to Sharon—but which he never recelved—a fraud govten up for ef- fect at the trial, It was at this point that Miss Hill entered the court room and took a seat at Mr. ‘Terry's side, Mr. Evans began a discussion of what he termed the absurdity of her claim to have shown a marriage contract to Martha Wilson and not shown it to her brother Morgan. _ Her pretended excuse for show- ing it to Marcha Wilson was to induce that colored Woman -to go on an errand wither, Yet after showing it to a colored woman on such a trif_ing Pretext, sue did not. show it to her brother although she hervelf testifled that_her brother had Deen told that she was visiting Mr. Sharon's bedroom at night. Miss Hill, at this point, whispered audibly to Mr, Terry, “I never testified to any such thing,” and looked indignant, Mr. Evans, overhearing the remark, sald: “The plaintiff I sec contradicts me, 80 I will convince the counsel of the truth of what'T'say.” He then took up a volume of the official record and turned to plainuif’s testimony, where she testilied that both rank Newlands aud Fred. sharon had told ber brother Morgan that she was visiting Mr. Sharon’s bedroom at night. Can any one,” continued Mr. Evans, “imagine for a moment tnat if she had any arriage contract then she would not have ine ntly taken it to her brother and shown him St that she Was not @ fallen woman, but the wife of | Mr. Sharon?” =——<$—$—--__. Mrs, Cahill Marricd. A REMINISCENSE OF THE CURIOUS SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST HER, ‘Tho Philadelphia Press to-lay says: In St. Pat- rick’s Roman Catholic church on Monday of this week, the Rev, J. Mulholland united tn marriage Dr. M. O’Mally, recently of the United States army, and Mrs. Sophia Cahill, of 1910 Walnut street. The announcement of the marriage brought to the mind of many the social Bossip of the winter of 1882-83, when Mrs Cahill was the defendant In a noted suit for breach of promise instituted against her for $10,000 dainages by Capt. George Hildret of the United States life saving corps. Mrs. Cal Was the wife of the rich president of the Knicker- bocker ice company, and was said to be worth fully $1,000,000 when her husband died. Capt. Hildreth came acqualnted with her in 1876, and in Maren, 1881, began paying his addresses to her. On June 16th, 1881, he lms She consented to become his wife. ‘The marriage day was set tor some time In September, 1881. But she, he alleged in court, put it off and finally dismissed him. In ‘the meantime, he had built for her ut Cape May a ‘house at an expense of $2,000, and made other out-. Jays. ‘The case was heard at length, and on Jans ‘Uary 16th of Us year was fnally settled, the de- fendant compromising matters and pay ‘Ing costa, Victims of Hydrophobia, THIRTY-TWO NEGROES WHO EAT THE FLESH OF HOGS BITTEN BY A MAD DOO. A Eufaula, Ala., dispatch says: The people are in a state of great excitement In this section over the wholesale spread of pronounced hydrophobla at the plantation of Punch Doughtle. Dr. E. B, John- son has Just returned from Mr. Doughtie’s planta- tion, Where he had been summoned to attend the sudcen and wholesale sickness. He found 82 per- gons suffering with a disease which he at once pro- nounced hydrophobla in mild form.

Mr. Doughtle says that on July 25 one of his dogs went mad and bit amule and several hoys. On August 18 the first hog dled ‘and was eaten by the negroes. Two more hogs died on August 18, one on August 22, and one on August 2%, and oll were eaten except the latter, when the consequence of eating the polsoned ‘flesh was learned. A dozen of the 32 eaters of the affected hogs are seriously sick. Dr. Johnson, an able phy. sician, says he fears the worst. Hé says that It ‘would not surprise him ifthe greater number of ‘the 82 persons should perish from the effects, A Manitoba Cyctone.
