NOT SENATOR SHARON’S WIFE. Ruling of the California Supreme Court in Sarah Althea’s Case. The notorious Sharon divorce case was prob- ably ended in San Francisco yesterday by the state supreme court decision reversing Judge Sullivan's ruling granting Sarah Althea the rights of property and ordering a new trial of the case. This is the second decision of the supreme court. The first decision affirmed Judge Sullivan's decision in the case. Then the Sharon heirs appealed on the ground that the findings were not warranted by the evi- dence and on this ground the supreme court yesterday upheld their appeal. The court holds that there is no evidence that the par- ties lived together as is usual with married peo- ple. On the contrary their marriage was se- cret. Consent to marry is not sufficient under the code, but must be followed by the mutual assumption of marriage rights and duties, This is the gist of the decision which dealt a death blow to secret marriages, not solemnized by eburch or state. The best lawyers here believe that this ends sarah Althea’s case, as she would have to prove on a new trial the marriage with Sharon was known to the public, which would he impossible. Nearly all her witnesses have ‘“eserted her. Sharon's estate was worth $15,- 000,000, and she would have received half that amount if she had won the case. = sos AMERICAN RIFLEMEN ABROAD. They Give in England an Exhibition of Their Skirmish Drill. At Wimbledon yesterday, notwithstanding « heavy shower of rain, hail and thunder, the Massachusetts riflemen showed the st¥le of their skirmish drill. The whole camp assembled to witness the maneuvres. The members of the team were drawn up in aline 600 yards from the target. Then they advanced, halting at inter- vals for fifteen seconds, until they were within 150 yards of the target. The firing resulted as follows: Huddleston, out of 47 hits scored 191; Doyle, 52 hits, 166; Hinman, 33 hits, 123; Hus- sey, 31 hits, 114; Sergeant Bull, 26 hits, 98; Johnston, 22 hits rivate Bull, 22 hits, 74; Farnsworth, 25 hits, 73: Edes, 23 hits, 72; Bum- stead, 20 hits, 50. Ten hats were made. The rapidity of ‘the fire and the accuracy of the shots excited the cheers of the spectators, bancrae. Papas A SMALLPOX SCARE. Great Rush in Pittsburg to the Health Office for Vaccine Matter. At the bureau of health in Pittsburg yester- day applications for vaccine quills were brisk from people of the Chartiers valley, many people feeling the necessity for vaccination who would not have thought of it had it not been for the Owen McMahon smallpox case. McMahon was sent to the pest house Tuesday. He is an oil driller and had just come from Canonsburg. The dissemination of the report may have a good effect, as it may make some peoplg lock their doors in advance. It was stated that much uneasiness is felt at Canons- burg. because McMahon took the disease there before coming to Pittsburg. McMahon was reported dying last night in the pest house. As to the danger of smallpox: in Pittsburg, Crosby Gray of the health department says that the city is in good sanitary condition, though it might be better. There has been so much rain this summer that the filth has been generally washed out of the gutters, and the river dumps are freer of filth than usual, as so much rubbish has been dumped into them from time to time as to necessitate frequent clean- ing. Beside, smallpox is not likely to spread at this season of the year, being a cold-weather disease, so that there is no need for people to become panicky. co SN THE “BOTTOM DROPPING OUT. Twelve Acres of Virginia Ground Sink- ing and the People Alarmed. A dispatch from Richmond last night says: Residents of Prince George county, Va., 28 miles from here, are greatly alarmed over the sudden sinking of the earth, covering a wide area of territory. The earth began sinking yesterday and has continued caving in to-day, until it has sunk from 10 to 60 feet over anarea of about 12acres. In the center of the depres- sion a lake has been formed about 2 acres wide. There is no stream running into the lake, and the theory advanced is that the water has been forced up from a subterranean river, the ex- istence of which has been hitherto unknown. The phenomenon is attracting widespread at- tention. ——E HAPPY. He Confirms the Report That He Has Secured “‘L’ Angelus.” A London special cable to the Philadelphia Press says: J.T. Sutton of the American art association, New York, telegraphs your corre- spondent to-night: “It is settled; Millet’s mas- terpiece, ‘L’Angelus,’ is mine. It will be ex- hibited in the American art gallery this sum- mer.” The picture comes to Sutton by reason of the fact that he is the next highest bidder to M. Proust, the minister of fine arts of France, to whom it was knocked down for 554,000 francs. Sutton bid 553,000 francs. The French govern- meut has not been able to pay for it. —— TWO BEAUTIES ON WHEELs. A Couple of Girls Go Bicycling in Knickerbockers. ‘From the St. Paul Globe. There is a great deal of smiling now among members of the Minneapolis Bicycle club when any one says “Jessie,” and the number of times that it is said in a meaning tone is something mysterious to the uninitiated. After a good bit of coaxing one of the young men was in- duced to tell a part of the story connected with the peculiar looks and expressive smiles of him- self and companions. His yarn was about as follows: “Thursday night five of us fellows started out from the club room at 8 o’clock for a ruu to Minnehaha. We went down Purk avenue, and out beyond 2th street we saw a couple of cyclists ahead of Us, pushing along at a very easy pace. At that distance their uniform looked like that of the St Paul club, and we started to push up to them. As we came a little nearer we saw that they didn’t belong to any local club, and started to run up and hail them. When they saw what we would do they let out a little and began to pull away from us. Thinking they wanted to Face, we braced a bit, and there was a very pretty brush for the next mile, when we came u; to them, and as we went past Tom shouted. “Well. you fellows gave us a nice run, anyway. What club do you belong to?” Both the riders turned their faces away and neither answered, ‘They siackened their pace and fell half a block | behind us.

New York’s Proposed Exhibition.” WHITECHAPEL’S FIEND. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., ¢ ace THE CANE FIELDS OF JAVA. ope The Rapid Spreading of th Dis- Secrecy and Efficacy of “Jack the Rip- preading e Sereh per’s” Bloody Work. London Special to the Philadelphia Times July 17. Thousands in this great city are with fear. The murderous knife of “Jack the Rip- per” is back again and the horrible murder yesterday morning enables him to cut another notch in the handle of his terrible knife. The details of the crime leave no doubt that he was the murderer of Alice Mackenzie, known to some as Kelly. An examination of the body developed the unusual feature that Jack had not done the work with the dull knife hereto- fore used, as the slashes were clean. The clothes were drawn over the head after the knife had been driven into the neck. A cut four inches long, running toward the groin, had not severed the abdominal wall. On both sides of this cut and along the lateral line below the breast bone there were twenty scratches. The woman had evidently been taken un- awares, as she was strongly built and weighed 140 pounds. She could not have uttered a c’ without being heard by the police. Jacl adopted his old plan, except that in this case the right hand had been placed over the mouth and the left hand drove the knife into the neck instead. The murder threw Whitechapel into acondition of fearful excitement, and Castle alley was crowded all day. People from all quarters flocked to the scene and stories of the crime were on every tongue. The woman was identified by John McCormick, a porter. He said he Weed. with her for ears, She was forty years old and was from Peterboro. Her family lived there untila month ago, when they lived in a furnished room in Whitechapel. She did charing work and never got her living on the street. - ADDICTED TO DRINK. Sometimes she drank too much. He left the house at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, as they had a tiff. He gave hera shilling and advised her not to spend it in drink. He was told she returned to the house at 10 o’clock last night and took a blind boy named Geo. Dixon fora walk, McCormick knew no more of the woman and boy. They went to the Cambridge music hall and there met aman and asked him to treat them. She then went home, but left again after saying she was to meet aman at the Cambridge music hall, Whether or not she met him is not known, for the blind boy has no means to identify him except by his voice. Nothing could more clearly indicate the cun- ning of the murderer than the selection of the locality. The alley is a hundred yards lon and lark and encumbered by a mass o} agons and barrows, which formerly were stored ina yard in which excavations were going on. A few feet above, at the bottom, is a net-work of streets, courts and alleys, On the left side are small factories and workshops, and on the right is a high board fence, shutting off the back yards of a row of houses facing on Newcastle street. DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE HIM. Newcastle street runs parallel with Castle alley, and just below the scene of the murder they are connected by a narrow court. If ap- proached, therefore, from Whitechapel road the murderer could escape down Castle alley into Old Castle street, and through this to Wentworth street and thence to Commercial street or the lane. if approached from Old Castle street he could escape through Castle alley court into Whitechapel road. If hemmed in on both sides he could still escape through the connecting court to Newcastle street, and thence to Whitechapel road or Wentworth street. There was further cunning and evidence of intimate knowledge of the locality in the fact that he was just on the boundary line of two police districts. Whitechapel road is patrolled y constables from Leman street station, and no street constables come from the road down the alley because that is in the district belong- ing to another division. He must have known that an officer could come toward him only from the bottom of the alley and his intimate knowledge of the locality and the police rules made his meee ae as easy as ever. When it remembered that in all the eight murders co mitted he has never once been seen by an; body the fear of him in Whitechapel can be un- derstood, and that there is a superstition in some of the slums that he is invisible does not seem surprising. THE POLICE AT SEA. The police are absolutely without a clue, In- spector Reed so stated this evening. Jacobs, the only person in the vicinity of Old Castle street, was simply on an errand, and was re- leased directly. Three other men were ar- rested on suspicion during the early morning and forenoon, but were almost immediately re- leased upon establishing their identity and their whereabouts at the hour of the murder. A search of the lodging houses, which followed close upon the discovery, revealed nothing. Nobody had come in or gone out within an hour who could in any way be connected with the tragedy. The only hope was the examina- tion of barmen and barmaids along White- chapel road with reference to the pgesence in their places of the woman Mackenst prior to the murder. There is a possibility, judging from the pre- vious cases, that the murderer took her into one of these and got her stupidly drunk be- fore attempting her death. This investiga- tion appears to be the only chance of finding aclue, but it does not appear to have been made. The attempt to surround the scene with a cordon of constables amounted to nothing, as the murderer had passed out into Whitechapel road. Consequently the police stand as before, not knowing which way to turn, No doubt they have done and are doing all in their power. DETECTIVES EMPLOYED. Chief Commissioner Munis and Colonel Mon- sall were on the spot as soon after the murder as the telegraph and horses could bring them. All the detective strength of the metropolitan force had been centered in Whitechapel, and the best brains of Scotland Yard not only are but have been at work on the murderers, Up toa month ago two constables were nightly on the watch in the alley, it being a fikely ‘spot for the murderer to select, Up to two weeks ago there was also a night watchman stationed in the alley by aman who owned a number of the barrows stored there. The withdrawal of all these left tke place free. There is nothing more for the peli ¢ to work on at present than there was at the last murder on August 9. The mur- derer is clearly a maniac, but so cool that he makes no mistakes and leaves no traces, and, furthermore, it is evidently without that sense of fear which leads to detection in uine cases out of ten. ———— ee. ELECTRICAL EXPERTS AT WAR. A Telegraph Scientist Differs With Others About Saline Conductivity. In New York Francis W. Jones, chief elec- trician of the Postal telegraph company, be- came the object of Lawyer Post's electrical verbal discharges in the Kuemumler reference case yesterday. He showed strong powers of resistance under cross-examination. His theory was that the only conductors in the human body are the saline fluids, Take these away and no attraction for electri: remains. fe said that the resistance of the human skull very great. It varied considerably and with a current of 1,000 a large resistance is exhibited. “Now,” said Mr. Post, “assume that the dog Dash we had before us a few days ago lay on a live wire ten minutes, was severely burned and lay ten hours apparently dead, what would be your inference as to the amount of electricity receive nswered Mr. Jones, ‘‘that “I would infer, the dog had become the channel of a consider- able discharge of electricity, but to what extent T cannot tell.” ease and its Effect. ‘The State department has recently réceived ® report from Mr. H. G. Wood, U. & vice con- sul at Batavia, Java, announcing that a meeting just ended, of a congress of planters, exporters and others interested in the production of sugar, considerable time was spent in debating the subject of the cause and care of the ‘“‘sereh” disease, which is now spreading with the great- est rapidity and with disastrous results through the cane fields of western and central Java. “It was three years ago only that this pest was first discovered in plantations near Cheri- bou, yet since that time, so and icky have those lying to the eastw: of em become affected by the disease, that canes near Saurabsya have also been attacked. To the nature of the pest must be undoubte ascribed this wide-spread infection, though, without doubt, carelessness on the part of the selves has had much to do in these application has been as yet with partial success only. The project which met with the most favor was that of introducing the great canes of Borneo, not only because their roots seemed to resist the attacks of the worm, but also because their reater bulk promised increased returns of juice and saccharine matter. “The cause of the sereh disease is unknown. Some persons ascribe it to the deterioration of the cane itself; others to that of the soil. The natives claim that the use of artificial fertilizers, composed of a mixture of many materials, in place of the oil-cakes from ‘patjang,” or = earth nuts, formerly employed, hi given rise to this trouble. Meanwhile the congress has subscribed a fund of 220,000 guilders (#90,000) to engage a bac- terialogist to comefrom Europe and investi- gate the cause of the malady and devise its cure. Feeling convinced that planters in the United States have studied questions of a simi- lar nature, I have inclosed herewith a descrip- tion of the sereh worm, in the belief that a sug- gestion as to its extermination would be valued by the authorities and would prove for the in- terest of all concerned. | “For exporters the importance of this subject lies in the fact that not only is the sugar crop reduced in quantity by the disease, but is also injured m qualty ‘as well, inasmuch as juice from diseased canes shows on analysis an unu- sual amount of glucose. HORSE RACING AND BETTING. The ex-King of the Dudes Tells of His Personal Experiences. E. Berry Wall in Boston Globe. What a marvelous increase has the last quar- ter ofacentury seen in the number of race tracks, in the number of running horses, in the number of stud farms, in the number of turf patrons and betters and in the number of dol- lars plunged upon the events, I began going to races whenasmall boy. Then the Coney Island club, Monmouth Park and the Brooklyn jockey club had not been heard of. The now famous Dwyer Brothers had one horse as mere pleasure-giving incident of a large busi. ness, That racer was Rhandamanthus, who was afterward burned to death. Now they have a track of their own, a great stud farm, a big bank account, and the Brooklyn butcher shop is almost forgotton. Then bookmakers were unknown, We had French tickets and auction tee but in the latter $2,000 was gen- erally bid for first choice, instead of the paltry $75 or $100 of nowadays. I have had experience as a horse-breeder and as a bettor, and the result of it may interest if it does not prove valuable to those of my fel- low-men who may be contemplating a simiiar foolishness. When quitea young man I, in partnership with Wickley Preston (son of Gen. Preston, one time United States minister to Spain), had thirty brood mares on a stock farm at Lexington, Ky. I produced some famous horses, notably ‘Wallflower, who won the to- bacco stakes at Covington, and who frequently brought my colors, white and blue, first over the ine. But THE EXPERIMENT WAS AN EXPENSIVE ONE, and I learned the lesson that a man can’t make the breeding of horses successful unless he gives his undivided attention to 1t. I found, too, that a stable should be continually weeded out. It costs as much to keep a poor race horse as it does to care for aclinker. I did not attend to the stock farm myself, and the result was there were no profits, As to betting on races, the best thing to do is not to do it. I have been an attendant on run- ning meetings since I was twelve years of age, and I profess to know something about horses, but although I have made many large winnings the final result leaves me a loser, though not to any greatextent. I have often been asked what my largest winning was, I won upon Leonatus in the Kentucky derby at Louisville in "82 or '83 a total of $16,000." He was a son of Longfellow and was owned by Chinn & Mor- gan. Isaw him in February when visiting my stock farm, and offered $10.000 for him, This being refused I placed $1,000 on him at 8 to 1, and whenIcame to New York I got more money on him and finally won the sum I have named. A large majority of young men who place their money on horses do so, I find, in utter ignorance of what they are doing. ‘They don’t even see their favorite before he starts. Many of them take tips from the rascally touts, who, out of a field of six horses, give six differ- ent winners to six different men, and conse- quently are bound to receive one commission, Aman can’t win at turf gambling unless he makes a business of it and almost lives in a stable. Even then he is only familiar with the strength of the particular stable he favors and knows nothing about the condition of any opposing horse. As to women who. bet and who form a very recent, although very interest- ing, feature of the race track, I can only say that they are of greut advantage to the mes- senger boy service ard of great aid and com- fortto the needy bookmakers, 3 <o0— STOCK GAMBLERS, English Women Who Greedily Buy and Sell and Watch the Markets.

Not only is its local circulation the largest and fullest of any daily paper printed, in propor tion to population, but it is also the BEST, since Paper does not merely go into the hands of people of the District of Columbia as a tio their homes,—inw the families of fair treatment of all public cially because of iu intelligent and eflective de votion to local interests. and its close attention to matiers with which the household, and particu- larly its lauy members, are concerned, THE 5TaB room, the work-shop, and the family circle. More conclusive evidence on these points no person can ask than that afforded by the table below. The growth of circulation therein indl= cated, with the analysis following, clearly shows the esteem in which the paper is held by the com- munity to whose interests it is so steadfastly de- Voted. It will be seen that, in the number of copies issued, every month in the year 1888 shows ® handsome increase over the corresponding month in each year given; and, as a further illus tration on that point, it may be stated here that there bas been a corresponding advauce in the Lumber of new advertisements printed during the year. ‘The comparative iigures ior the four years last past are as follows: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-'S6-'87-"88. 26,753 23,652 25,454 27,082 1,359 1,803 1,595 @aily circulation of 27,083 copies, the Looks of the office show that an average of 20,029 copies were regularly delivered each day, by carriers, at the homes of permanent subs scribers in the city and suburbs.
