Saturday, August 17, 1889. 
Wednesday morning, August 14, ex-Judge 
Davis S. Terry, 66 years old, but possessed of 
the strength and ability of 45, a dangerous 
Pacific Coast rowdy for a generation, wasshot 
through the heart by Deputy United States 
Marshal David Nagl* 5 , at the breakfast table 
at the depot hotel at Lathrop. a town 85 miles 
from San Francisco on the Southern Over¬ 
land Railroad. On the arrival of the train 
from the south at 7:30 A. M., Justice Stephen 
J. Field, 73 years old, of the United States 
Supreme Court, who had bpen holding Circuit 
Court at Los Angeles, and Deputy Nagle, pas¬ 
sengers, were breakfasting together in the 
depot dining-room when Terry and his notor¬ 
ious wife Sarah Althea Hill, also passengers, 
came in. Last September Justice Field sen¬ 
tenced Terry to imprisonment for six months 
and Sarah Althea for one month for gross 
contempt of court, committed on his deciding 
against the validy of Sarah’s alleged mar¬ 
riage with millionaire ex-Senator Sharon. 
On his release rowdy Terry who bad been bit¬ 
terly hostile to Field from early California 
days, openly threatened vengeance. For fear 
of the man, Attorney-General Miller, at 
Washington, had ordered Nagle to accompany 
Field to protect him from the male and 
female rowdies. Cn recognizing Field, Sarah 
at once left the dining-room to get a pistol 
from her reticule in the train, while Terry 
approached Field from behind and gave him 
a heavy slap on the face. He raised his hand 
to strike avam, then Nagle, formerly city 
marshal at Tombstone, Arizona, and mighty 
quick with the trigger, shouted : “ Stop ! 
Stop !” and as Terry’s fist was descending, 
shot him through the heart. Sarah soon 
returned and of course, virago-liko, at once 
made a scene. Terry was born in Dodd 
County Ky., in 1823, went to California dur¬ 
ing the gold fever, was elected Chief Justice 
of the State Supreme Court when 33 ; was 
imprisoned for several months by the Vigi¬ 
lantes for stabbing one of them. Killed U. S. 
Senator David Broderick in a duel in 1859. 
Commanded a Confederate regiment in Texas 
during the war ; was Democratic Elector in 
California in 1880, and the only one defeated. 
Since then has been notorious in connection 
with the infamous Hill-Sharon litigation 
before the State and Federal Courts in Cali¬ 
fornia, in which he was engaged m constant 
frays. General verdict : The State’s well 
rid of him. The trouble isn’t over 
yet, however, as virago and adventuress 
Sarah Althea still survives. 
The new Inman steamer City of Paris, which 
some weeks ago beat the record on western 
trip from Queenstown to Sandy Hook, has 
just beaten the eastern record also, hav¬ 
ing made an unprecedentedly quick trip be¬ 
tween the two places in five days. 23 hours 
and 40 minutes, only 37 minutes more than 
her westward record. This is the first time 
the eastern passage has been made inside of 
six days. Several new flyers have just started 
to beat the City of Paris’s time; others are on 
the stocks to outspeed all now built, and 
designers are racking their brains to plan 
others that will outstrip anything yet begun. 
.There are strong indications of the 
formation of an Earthenware Trust and a 
Table Glassware Combination. Earthen¬ 
ware is protected by a duty of 55 per cent., 
and glassware by one of 45 per cent.—a pretty 
good basis for successful combination. 
What little fighting has taken place lately in 
Hayti, has been against Hippolyte who has 
gone north, abandoning the Amazon-guarded 
precincts of Port-au-Prince. As a relief to 
last week’s tragedy down there, comes the 
comical news that both sides have suspended 
fighting to get in out of the wet, as it has been 
raining very hard there too. Some 
weeks ago it was discovered that Sherman 
Brothers of Buffalo, N. Y., by means of 
fraudulent ware-house receipts, had stolen 
$375,000 worth of wheat from the Buffalo 
elevators. Restitution to the amount of 
$200,000 has been made, leaving a balance of 
$175,000. One of the brothers has just been 
jailed, the other is in Canada-The 
Minnesota dressed beef law was again declared 
unconstitutional last Tuesday—this time at 
Duluth, by State Judges Sterns and Ensign. 
.President Harrison has been having a 
glorious tune of it up at Bar Ha'bor, where 
he has been visiting Secretary Blaine and sev¬ 
eral other notabilities, national and local. 
Next week he’ll spend a few days at Indian¬ 
apolis to lay the corner-stone of a soldiers’ 
monument and attend a reuuion of his old 
regiment. Persistent office seekei s, of course, 
detract somewhat from his enjoyment wher¬ 
ever he goes.There’s a marvelous re¬ 
ligious craze among the negroes of the South. 
First a white impostor who proclaimed him¬ 
self tue Messiah, persuaded a number of ' 
blacks to crucify themselves acd indulge in 
all sorts of outrageous performances in South 
Carolina. Then at the command of an old 
negro vvno calls himself the Priphet Daniel, 
three young negroes, last Satuiday, to imi¬ 
tate Shadiaeb, Meshach and Abednego, 
rushed into a white-hot furnuce of molten 
iron near Birmingham, Ala. To-morrow 
crowds of negroes will meet at church to see 
the cremated gulls appear as angels. The de¬ 
luded blacks are doing all sorts of queer, 
wild, sad, horrible and ridiculous things. 
The estimated losses by fire at Spokane Falls 
have fallen from $15,000,000 to $6,000,000. 
The insurance companies will pay $2,500,000 
of this. The price of real estate in the burned 
district has advanced considerably. It’s hard 
to down the ouoyant spiutsof the mighty 
West. Several doubles of Tascott the 
murderer of Chicago millionaire Snell, for 
who'e arrest Snell’s widow offers $50,000 re¬ 
ward, have been captured in several widely- 
separated places during the week; but the 
murderer’s whereabouts is still a mystery to 
the most lynx-eyed Hawksba w stimulated by 
so big a reward. ...A number of Cana¬ 
dians have established an electric plant on the__ 
Canadian side of Niagara Falls, deriving their 
power from the falls They propose to send 
“currents” into the United States to supply 
power and lights cheaper than these can be 
supplied by machinery driven by steam, and 
they have asked the Treasury Department, 
whether the electricity they propose to send to 
Buffalo and other places wril be liable to im¬ 
port duty? Why not? Surely the electrical 
business is still an infant industry that 
needs “protection” as much as infant indus¬ 
tries a century or so old.... Poor Nevada! she 
has so many taxes she doesn’t know what to 
do. With a population too slim for a pros¬ 
perous Territory, she finds it a hard job to 
raise money enoueh to run a State Govern¬ 
ment.Ex-Attorney-General Gar¬ 
land has become attorney for the Northern 
Pacific Railroad at a salary of $25,000 a year. 
The government ot the United States paid 
him only $8,000 a year. 
Bombastes Furioso appears to be editing sev¬ 
eral Canadian papers, judging from their 
wild vaporings with regard to the disasters 
about to befall this country on account of 
seizure of the Black Diamond by the Rush. 
A prize crew of one was jocularly put on 
board the Diamond and he was ordered to 
tnke her to Sitka, capital of Alaska, where a 
United States Court could condemn her. As 
soon as she got out of sight of the Rush, her 
captain changed her course and made for 
Victoria, capital of British Columbia, where 
she arrived safely not a little to the merriment 
and satisfaction of all parties. Though there 
are probably not less than 50 Canadian and 
American noaehiDg vessels illegally fishing 
for seals in Behring Sea, the Diamond has hith¬ 
erto appeared to be the only capture made by 
the two United States revenue cutters cruis¬ 
ing there. No doubt the seals thus clandes¬ 
tinely killed will transcend the Alaska Com¬ 
pany’s catch of $1,500,000 worth a year. Ex- 
Secretary Bayard wanted to place the seal fish¬ 
eries under the protection of all the maritime 
nations—a policy much better for the seals 
and the seal-skin wearers too. 
Francis E. Spinner, the amiable owner 
of the celebrated hieroglyphic signature, is 
reported to be hopelessly sick at his home at 
Pablo Beach, Florida. Cancer in the face due 
to wearing a badly-fitting pair of eye-glasses, 
is the trouble.Gov. Humphrey, of 
Kansas, on Wednesday, issued a call for that 
deep-water convention to meet at Topeka, on 
October 1. All the States and Territories 
west of the Mississippi are invited to send rep¬ 
resentatives. Can’t have too many friends 
for such an undertaking in Congress. 
The general impression is that the recently 
purchased lands in tue Sioux reservation wiil 
not be opened to settlement before spring. 
No crops could be raised *his year and the 
sufferings of new settlers would probably be 
terrible during next winter; whereas all can 
have a fair start in spring. Gen. Crook 
says the number of Indians in the seven tribes 
on the reservation is not over 23,000, though 
estimates varied from 35,000 to 60,000. Sit¬ 
ting Bull and a handful of bis followers are 
still malcontents, but helpless.Dr. 
Brown-Sequard’s “elixir” is being tried by 
doctors all over the country with very differ¬ 
ent results. As a rule it is found to act as a 
more or less powerful tonic and invigorator; 
but in some cases, it has produced 
little or no effect, and in several 
its effects have been more or less 
injurious, being very disastrous in a few. 
The effects appear to depend, in great part, on 
the age and condition of the subjects. They 
seem greatest where the patients expect great 
things, and least where they don’t know what 
is being done to them. Hence imagination 
must play a big part in the “ cures.” It ap¬ 
pears all-important that the “ elixir ” should 
be used in an hour or less after its materials are 
taken from the slaughtered animal; that the 
latter should be thoroughly healthy, and that 
the “elixir’’and all the tools and vessels used 
in its preparation should be kept absolutely 
free from the taint of bacteria which are 
everywhere present. Many of the failures 
and injurious effects are attributed to care¬ 
lessness iu regard to these last points. As an 
“ elixir of lite ” to restore youth, of course it’s 
a humbug; as a beneficial tonic and invigor¬ 
ator, it may be a blessing. Several thousand 
people must now be undergoing experiments, 
and the x - eal character of the “ discov¬ 
ery” must soon be definitely known..
