From the New York Sun, 25th inst. After the big woolen house of Ferdinand and Benjamin Mayer of 32 White street, which failed for $2,400,000, made an assignment on Septem- ber 24 to Simon Danzig, James T. Swift & Co. of 59 Worth street, brouzht suit to have assign- | ment set aside. Swift & Co. were heavy credit-! ors, and with the other creditors suspected that | the assignment was made with a design of de- frauding those who had just claims on the | ‘$1,800,00Q nominal assets left by the firm. It} was found that thé firm hud made a preferred creditor of Martin Claybureh, of Chicazo, for | $11.000, the amount of a promissory note dated July 18. 1881. When the case came to trial | some days ago before Judge Ingraham. in the | Superior court, both the Mayers swore that the | nen, H. M. True and Harry Wells. note represented a bona fide debt tor loans ad- vanced by Claybu > was fraudulent. and called Messrs. Arthur & Bonnell, the stationers who printed it, to prove their | assertion. The margin of the note bore the sta toners’ imprint in tiny letters, with the address, 54 Nassau street. They testitied that on Jul 1881, the date of the note, t the premises 64 Nassau street on which they printed the note cou bly have been «i until after May This testimony created a genuine sensation in the court. but it was not made public until yes- | terday that it was the basis of the indictment | for perjury that the grand jury found against | the Mayers on Monday, and under which Judge Gildersieeve required them to turnish 10,000 bail. The court displaced Simon Danzig on the | testimony In the same suit, and appointed Thos. | L. James in his stead. | “It was a striking circumstantial proof,” Mr. | Switt said yesterday, alluding to the imprint on | the note. *+{ have heard of only two cases of a | similar nature.

Then the trustees obtained an injunction from the Brooklyn city court restraining the bishop and the Rev. Mr. Herbert from interfering with them.

TO A DIVORCE ON THE GROUND OF DE ION AND A DIVISION OF THE COMMON PROPERCTY—A REVIEW OF THIS RE- MARKABLE Case. AND AS SUCH ENTITI eR Netsco, December 24.—The celebrated divorce suit has been decided in favor of tiff. The suit, as brought by the plain- tiff, Miss Sarah Althea Hill, claiming to be the fe of Senator Sharon, was for a divorce and on of the common property. Judge Sulli- van's decision is yery comprehensive, contain- ter reviewing the testi- mony, he conclu ty decta ws of California, the plaintiff is the f Sharon, and ax such.on the ground of willful desertion, is entitied to a divorce and divi of the community property. The latter is timated to be worth 210,000.000. The verdict is Agreat suprise to the public. it having been generally supposed, from the contradictory character of the testimony, that the plaintiff would have been non-suited. W. H. L.

Ou the | other hand, aron bad said he would | ficht the case throuzh if he had to spend a mil- | lion doilars. So the lawyers flourished and fought on with ardor. Miss Hill herself, or Mrs. Sharon, as Judge Sullivan now decides her to be, is one of a type | of adventurous women who have managed in| one way and another to have their names get | into print pretty regularly in connection with those of men conspicuous for wi nd social | standing. Young, handsome, . their game has always been y have played it with extraordinary nerve and des in her first testimony on the with jd that her | first conversation with or Sbaron was in 180, wiien he told her he had heard she was | one of the “stock sharps,” and wanted to know if she did not want him to give hera tip. He then, according to Miss Hill, proposed to give her $1,600 per month if she would live with him daring the m fist | 'y_have | i scenes of the drama e she without the formality of marriage. This pr e spurned with the proper amount of ion, whereupon the sinitten Senator declared to her that he ly testing her, and riage. This, too, she at that time refused. It was afterward proven that sie and the Senator had lived tozether as man and wife, and lett from him to her, in which the relationship w: y acknowledged, were produced as in court. But the great point on Hill hung her case was a certain document which she called her certificate of marriage. It read as follows: In the City and County of San Francl: of California, on the 25th da 0, State D. 1330, arab Althea i y of San Francisco, State of Caltrornia, >here, in the Presence of Almighty Gi Willlatn Sharon of the State of Nevada, 0 lawful and wedded husband, and do here myseli to be the wife of Senator William Sharon o} Ne vada 6 sears, do here tn the presence of Almushty. 1, take Sdrah Althea Hil of the city of San Francisco, Cal., to be my lawful and wedded wite, and do here acknowiedge myself to be the husband of Sarah Althea HilL Wa. Sano, Nevada.” This document Senator Sharon declared to be a forgery, thouzh he admitted that the signa- ture to it was genuine. It was written on the second page of an ordinary sheet of commercial note paper. and continued over back to the first page. Senator Sharon's signature was near the top of the first page and the writing above it in spacing on the other page had left the writer bat little room in which to put the necessary words. The paper was yellow with age, and barely hung together at tlie creases where it bad been folded. It was over this document that theory of the defense was that Miss Hill had se- cured the slip of paper with the Senator's signa- ture and had inserted the words above it and on the page opposite to it. All around this central point of the conflict flerce skirmishes raged, involving testimony as to Miss Hill’s reiations with other men while as- sociated with the Senator, her consultations with youdoo women and necromancers to geta love charm with which te work upon her ven- erable Lothario, her visits to the Senator's house and her allexed presentations there by the Senator to his friends as Mrs. Sharon. A dramatic incident in connection with the testi- inony on this last point was that of the two These two men swore positively that they saw Senator sron and Miss Hill together in Suttar strect, i that Senator Sharon had introduced Miss Hill to them as Mrs. Sharon. This was one of the strong points inthe Aill case. The other testimony as to similar introductions had been riddled under cross-examination until nothing hreds were leit of it. The servants, includ- ing the amusing Chinamen, had all deposed Was always treated as a guest, and never acted or was recoznized or spoken of by Senator Sharon in any other light than as Miss Hill, his gaest. But the True and Wells testimony bowled over. About two weeks after True testifled he died, and just after he died the counsel for the de- fense thrilled the court by reading a death-bed centession from him, in which he declared that ail that he had testified to was false; that he had been hired to commit perjury, and that he could not die with the fact unconiessed. The son of young True had in the meantime hunted Wells up on adistant raneh, and so worked on hig fears that Wells agreed to go up to court and Tecant. ‘Thishe did amida tremendous sensation, the witness breaking down repeatedly and sob- bing bitterly. Young True then went to Sha- ron and tried to get some money out of him for his service naron kicked him out of hisroom, and triends compromised his bill of 00 for 2175. there was anything but a fervid sympathy for Sharon in the public mind, no matter what people thought asto the merits of the case. ‘There was great contempt for anybody known to be in his employ in the case, except, ofcourse, the lawyers. Any insinuation to that effect was bitteriy resented. An instance of this was when Sharon invited all the newspaper reporters to a banquet. Not one ot them went or pald any attention to the invitation. The next morning one of the papers said all the rest of the report- ers had accepted the invitation except Its own. When the reporter of that paper appeared at court that day the rest of the newspaper frater- nity attacked him in body and pounded him unmercifuliy. The most exciting episode of the trial, how- ever, was when Miss Hill, exasperated at one of the uttorueys, suddenly drew a pistol in the court room and attempted to shoot him. In the midst of a scene of wild confusion the Pistol was wrenched from her hand and she was hurried from the room. After that every person who entered the room, whether lawyers, witnesses reporters, or spectators, was search for concealed weapons. ene - COMMENT IN SAN FRANCISCO. The Chicago Tribune's special from San Fran- cisco states that the Sharon divorce case is, of course, the only topic discussed there, and pub- le opinion almost unanimously sustains the de- cision. The chief objectors are elderly men with families, but the young men are all pleased. Judge Sullivan had great dimiculty in forcing his through the crowds of would-be hand- suekagras ta left court. The ip of law- yers do not, however, consider opinion a good one, some denouncing it ag an outrage, | manners, the | beautitul ¢ {N | misinterpreted while others say it was a surprise. The press of San Francisco israther non-committal in com- ments. The Post says that the conservative people will dissent from the opinion, while those who hate money-getters on principle will ap- plaud it. The Bulletin expresses the hope that the decision will result ina cleansing of tie sncial atmosphere. The Alfa thinks the case is not yet at an end and will prove still more remark- able; that the truth will come out and many will be badly hurt. SHARON D: NED TO FIGHT IT OUT. Ex-Senator Sharon was found at the Palace f Nevada. He looked a trifle out of sorts, and persisted in attempting to interview the reporter. “What do you think of the case?” he asked.

From the Albany Arms. The villaze of Sandy Hill 1s just now consid- erably excited over the prospective return to the home of his cildhood of Charies R. Bishop, of the Sandwich Islands, bringing with him almost fabulous wealth. About thirty six-years | ago two adventurous young’ men left the vil- lage to seek their fortune in the El Dorado of the Pacifié coast. One was William Lee and the other Charles R. Bishop. They went to Newburyport, Mas: and took parsaye on a whaler and sailed around Cape Hora, intending to land somewhere in lifornia or Oregon. The vessel chanced to yut into Honolulu for water, and the young men on going ashore were so hospitably re- ceived that they d mined to remain there, and being very bright fellows, with pleasing on gained the favor of the old meha; and in a short time Lee, ) had read a little Blackstone, was made ef justice and chancellor of the kingdom, while Bishop was given charge of the royal Hnances. When the sto found its y of their wonderful success ck to their distant home, a in Falls girl experie wezof heart. Rumors had ton’s unkindaess with being the cause of young Lee’s sudden departure on his adventur- ous career, and thougi absence is usually said to conquer love, in ti it _scemed to have the pposite effect. Miss Kate, on taking another look into her heart. found that she had entirely that orzan’s pulsations, and finding means to convey this important dis- covery to her far off lover, who, amid the smile of island maidens, still remained true to her image, received in return a speedy and grateful acknowledgment and an urgent re- quest that before she made any other discovery She would come out tohim at once, As sconas she received this me: » the spirited girl started alone and sailed half around the world to join her lover and be married in the palace ot aking. In those days there were no Pacific or Panama railroads, anda trip to the Sandwich Islands meant a six months’ sailing voyage around Cape Horn. Young Bishop, having lett no sweetheart be- hind, yielded at once to the charms of the island princess, Bernice Pawahi, adopted daughter of the queen mother, and their wedding soon fol- lowed. Thus. in a very brief period, these two penniless Sandy Hill boys were practically “run- cl | Bing” the gavernment of that far-off island realm. A few years later Lee returned to this country, accompanied by his bride, and, sur- rounded by a suite ot islanders and as envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipotentiary, suc- ceeded egotiating with the United States a new treaty very fayorable to the islands. But on returning to Honolulu his health, never very good, broke down entirely, and in a short time he died, beloved by king and people. His large estates on the island, consisting of sugar and coaoa plantations, were ali left to his wife, who a few years ago still retained them, although soon after the death of her husband, leaving her interests In charge of Mr. Bishop, her good friend and cousin, she returned to this country, and is now the wife of a distinguished editor and savant. se. WIVES BOUGHT AND SOLD. Extraordinary Method of Procuring Better Halves In Peekskill, N. ¥. Several instances of wife-selling have been discovered in Peekskill, New York. On Water street, not a stone’s throw from the depot, stands a boarding house. The proprietress was once Mrs. thomas Robinson, but one day Joel Thompson became infatuated with her, and her husband not having any further use tor her, sold her to Thompson for three bushels of wheat. For a number of years Thompson and the woman lived together as man and wife, but on account of his dissolute habits she left him, and to support herselt opened the boarding house. After his purchased wife left him Thompson became a strong advocate of tem- perance, while she becamea strong Salyationist. Among the prominent boarders at this board- ing-house is acharacter known as “Gip” Wil- liams. He had a wife to whom Frank Nalor todk a fancy, and after a little coaxing he euc- ceeded in purchasing her from Williams for a half dollar. Foranumber of years they lived together in the village and finally left, for Putnam county. After the sale of his wife Williams lived with a Mrs. Con- nors as his wife. He stole her clothing and sold itfor money to buy liquor. She was found nude by Officers Curry and Wyatt the next morning in the third story of an unoccupied house where she and Williams slept the night before. She was sent to prison for tour months tor vagrancy. A few years ago Joe Keatch was an inmate of the county poor-house.and while there received @ pension of $700. He purchased Mrs. Fuller for 25 from her husband, James. After he had spent all his money his woman disappeared and has not since been seen. Two days atter Fuller sold his wife to Keatch he seemed to regret it and wanted to buy her back. He offered $3, all the money he hud, but Keatch would not sell her for less than $10, and as Fuller was unable to raise this amount he had to let Keatch retain his purchase. Several other cases of the same nature are reported in the village. Romance Recalled by a Will Case, From the Philadelphia Times, Dr. William King, a son of the late Judge Edward King, of the common pleas court, was @ surgeon in the United States navy, and while stationed at Norfolk met a handsome widow, who fell desperately In love with him, Some time later Dr. King shot and killed a man who {insulted him in Charleston. He was arrested and indicted for murder. The widow, with her two little children, followed him to Charleston. He had no means to speak of at the time, and with her money she obtained for him the best legal talent in the city. During his trial she was always at his side, and comforted him while he was in prison. He was acquitted of the charge of murder on the ground of self-defense. Then. out of gratitude, he married her. When the late Judge King died he left his eon some eighty-odd thousand dollars. The late Judge Parsons, of the common pleas court, held the money In trust for the naval surgeon, who lived snugly on the interest. At his death he lett the entire estate to his widow, who fought for him when he was on trial in Charleston. His two sisters contested the will in court 1. Hé made two wills. The first left a ae of the property to his sisters; the last will bequeathed every- thing to the widow. ‘he sisters claimed that the last will was @ forgery. The counsel on both sides agreed that the jury shoud render a verdict In favor of the widow, and a quiet ar- rangement was afterward made by wh sisters were given a fair slice of the dead geon’s fortune. —————see The True Secret of Economy. ‘From the Philadelphia Call. ™ Jinks—I can’t see how it is.
