Lathrop, Aug. 18. Upon the arrival of tbe Boutbern overland train here at 7:20 yesterday morning United State, Supreme Judge Stephen G. Field and Deputy United Slate Marshal Nagle walked into tbe depot dining-room for breakfast and sat down side by tide. Boon after Judge David 8.

Terry and wife came In also. They were proceeding to another table when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognising Justice Field, did not sit down, but retired to the train for tome nnknown purpose. Before she reached It, however, and toon as she bad left the dining room, Judge Terry approached Justice Field, and stooping over him dapped hi, face. At thi, Juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from hie teat and hot Judge Terry through the heart.

The Judge never uttered sound after being He bad hardly fallen wben Mrs Terry rushed to the aide of hi, body and threw herself upon it Then ensued a scene of tbe wildest excitement People rushed from the dining room and others rushed In. During thit time Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to a sleep ng car, where tbey were securely locked In. At times Mrs.

Terry would call upon tbe people to arrest them. Before the train pulled out Constable Walker entered the sleeper and was cairied away on board the trala He Informed the spectators that be knew bl, duty and would perform It During the time the traiu wa, (tending at the depot Mr. Terry was running wildly alternately from the body of her husband to the deeper demanding admittance tbat sbe might dap Justice Field's face, and at the same time begging tbat tbey be detained and have their examination. Previous to the entrance of Constable Walker Into tbe sleeper, Sheriff Purvis and the deputy of Btanialaus County had already taken charge of Deputy Marshal Nagle. Thirty year, ago Terry, then Chl Justice of the California Supreme Court, killed United State, Senator Broderick in a duel.

Broderick wat tbe idol of Pan Francisco. The duel grew out of politics and tbe gifted Broderick', death was deeply and widely deplored. Since then Terry ba, leveral time, figured in sensational episodes and hat maintained a reputation a fire-eator. Tarry married Sarah Althea Hill, the alleged wife of Senator 8b (iron and the heroine of a nauseating and sensational attempt to get bold of part of the erratic Senator', great fortune. The killing undoubtedly grew out of the trial of tbe Sharon case.

Judge Field It tbt Justice before whom tbe case was tried, Sarah Althea Hill became deeply incensed against Judge Field during the trial on account of certain ruling, made by him adverse to her interests, and has ever tlnoe treasured the greatest animosity toward him. These sentiments were heartily shared by ber husband. While tbe Sharon cae was in progress and toward Its close Judge Terry and bis wife figured In a sensational scene In the courtroom. Mrs. Terry roundly abused Judge Field who was on the bench and wa, ordered removed from tbe court room.

When a deputy marshal attempted to carry out the order, Judge Terry drew a revolver and threatened to kill him if he laid hand, on hi, wife. There wa, at ones tbe wildcat confusion. Finally, however, Judge Teny wa, disarmed before any (hot, were fired. Jefferson Davis. Littli Rock, Aug.

He Threatens to Wipe the Floor With the Grand Jury Extensive Elevator Frauds The Boston Wool Fraud. Purvis, Aug. 14. A prominent man, with whom many resident! have conversed, sayi tbat there It a general feeling In Marlon County againit doing any thing with the pugilist! and their frlendt whatever. When the court met at o'clock the Judge at once lent for tbe grand Jury.

There were few peop'e In the court room at the time but it gradually filled np as the newt ipread. Tb majority of the at-torneyt were on hand however. The grand jury wai followed Into court by a crowd, and it could bo teen on every face tbat Important development were expected. Judge Terrell, speaking with a little more animation than usual, delivered a charge to tbe grand Jury in which he said: "I suppose that yon know that you are indictable for any thing that goet out by fraud. It is rumored that yon havt been discussing the question of referring these casei to tbe Justice of tbe Upon your oathi you said you would make true presentments of all mat'ers and thing! coming to yon.

I especially Instructed yoa to find according to fact. There It a statute authorizing the grand Jury to refer certain mlsdemeanort to the justice of tbe peace. There It another thing these matters can not be to transferred without the concurrence of tbe court Tbe judge Is as much a part of the court ai you are. Tbe Constitution Is a part of the tnpreme laws of tho land, higher than any legislative aot, and it ayi tbat a circuit court shall have fall jurisdiction In all matters civil and criminal In thit Btate. Ibit court hai original jurisdiction in all criminal 1 he jnstice of tbe peace court has not got it This Is tbe only court having It; it baa it by tbe Constitution.

AH the Legislatures that might meet could not tramfer it to any other court 1 want to ay to yon, gentlemen, that it it not in your power to transfer without the content of the court As judge of thit court, I would not permit inch a thing. Bo far ai your deliberationi tend In tbat direction yon might at well give them np. Just say If yon want to transfer them and there is a power in tbe court to do withont your service, If yon propose to attempt to transfer tbeie casei I will discharge yoa and order the iheriff to summon a new jury, and if be failt to summons men who will obey my order, I will impose a fine of $1,000 upon him. Investigate this question If you think there is any thing in it This court costs $100 per day, which Is a good deal of money for tbe poor people of thi, county. It yon do not want to find bill, say so.

Thi, court amply able to do without your services. I expeot my Instructions will be obeyed." The jury then filed out of court It wai a study what to say or do with the jurymen and heads were nodded at each other a much as to lay I told yon to." Tbe charge creates great exoitement here. The lawyer, seem to think tbat tbe grand jury will have to indict the principal! if not the abettors. One of tbe attorney! for tbe defense said he thought the charge erroncout because tbe Legislature wai competent to prescribe modes of procedure and the court has no Jurisdiction in the matter until the Indiotment could be found. Tbl will probably be the ttand taken by tbt defense in its bill of exceptions.

Brown, It it believed, were well founded, but bow many inch oaiei there' are It Is- difficult to tell. The firm's books are being thoroughly examined to aioer-l tain Just what transaotlont have been' made and how they stand. An Instance' of thit It the claim made by Faulkner, Page Sc woolen manufacturer! of thit oity, who havt paid tome $3,000 or $4 000 for wool which the Manachniettt Trait ft Loan Company held at col- lateral At tbe ttore of Brown, Steese te Clark this li not denied.

MUUon-Belreese Not fjnosoal In Plenty of American Cities Wealthy Women with Fad The Cattle Qneens Wno Have Pile of Money Rich Calif oral an. The rich women of America have been talked of and written abont until tome folks imagine impecunious foreign noble, do nothing but scheme to get at their hands and settlements. But the fact is the United States are full of wealthy women, full indeed of female millionaires who marry plain American citizens and settle down on thi side the pond to useful and ornamental lives just like their leas richly dowered sisters. Some of them even have large families, in spite of the dictum that there shouldn't be more than two children to inherit one million.

There are indeed many more mlUlon-heir-eases In this country than In any other. Hero millionaires divide their property with some fairness between tons and daughters alike. As there are more millionaires and mora daughters there are necessarily more million heiresses. Borne of these Monte Cristot In petticoat, are as well known to reader of the publlo prints as are the prominent politicians, baseball player, and race horses of this glorious clime. Others have yet to dazzle the world with their ducats.

ON 8 WORTH THIRTY MILLIONS. Wealthy women can afford fads. Most of them have fads, and their fads ore apt to be described in print and to make their possessor and promoters famous. Mrs. Mary J.

Morgan had Just as many millions before the sole of her orchids and porcelain several years ago as her estate wot worth afterwards. But the orchid sole was telegraphed and wondered at all over tbe country. There'i Mrs. Mark Hopkins, of Nob Hill, San Francisco, and Great Barrington, Moss. Her estate of $30,000,000 is said to show signs of able management.

She has the building fad and It constantly putting up palaces. Miss St. Bierre how many readers ever heard of her I is a million-heiress, and a modest and pretty one, too, down in Tennessee. There tho owns several hundred thousand acres of mining lands, and has business enterprises in the vicinity of Chattanooga which, it is said, have cost 1,890,000 to organize. Miss Elizabeth Garrett inherited one-third of John W.

Garrott's $37,000,000, wot her father's confidential secretary while he was president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and advised bim on many occasions. She hat been the head of the family since Robert Garrett's docllna Her fortune Is tald to be on Impaired, although her brothers has been sadly depleted. Miss Gwendoline Caldwell is one of the famous Caldwell listars, whose pet projects have mostly had relation to tbe Catholio church, which they so love. The Caldwell girls have long bean known as million-heiresses in Baltimore and New York. Wealthy women have for years been much more common than beautiful women In the arlstocratio seaside resort of Little Rhody.

It was at Newport that Mists Catherine Lorillard Wolfe, the million-heiress, lived and died. It is at Newport that Mme. Barrios, who It a property owner and resident of New York and a citizen to the world. Is teen to the best advantage. She has the godlike gift of both beauty and millions.

Mme. Barrios, the dashing young and brunette widow of the dictator of Guatemala, Is worth not leas than $4,000,000 or $5,000,000, which before tbe climax of hit turbulent career her husband hod the good sense to invest securely for hex in Paris and New York. A South American, who has been for several years contemplating, like Mme. Barrios, a removal of her residence to New York, is Dona Isadora Couslno, who bears off even above "Hetty" Green's head the palm of being "the richest woman In tbe world." Dona Isadora isn't as young by half as Mme. Barrios, and while the may In her time havt been as beautiful, she hasn't even now as many pretty daughters to plead her cause.

Dona Isadora's agenta here began preparing "a palace" tor her on Fifth avenue, but the fickle and fascinating lalt-gold-coal-ranoh-and-cattle qneen seems to have changed ber mind. She has not yet deprived Chill of tht golden iplendor of her presence. Mrs. Maurice B. Flynn, who was Miss Most, it no doubt worth a million, or almost that urn, since her husband left his entire estate to her.

It Is more and mora customary for rich men In this country to leave their property to their wives. Ban Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Philadelphia, Boston and Pittsburg have plenty of wealthy women whose millions come In this way. PHILADELPHIA'S LONG LIST. Mrs.

Alexander Ray Is one of Washington'! millionaire widows. Her husband was a well known miller. Miss Jennie Rlggs Is told to ba one of the richest single women at the national capital. She Inherited a million or two from her father to guard zealously from fortune hunters.

He had hod seven children and she took care of them. She also takes care of her cattle business, with which the young husband is not permitted to interfere. Texas, however, It full of cattle queens. Colorado has several tald to be worth their millions. Philadelphia is said to have leveral women as follows: Mm Campbell Harris, said to be Worth Mrs.

Monday very heavy rain, fell for miles around, and all the little streams overflowed their banks, By yesterday the turplul water reached Lincoln and Salt creek spread over the low land, with astonishing rapidity. There ha, been no serious overflow In tix years, and In that time hundreds of mall houses have been erected In that part of the city, where laborers and poor people live on account of cheap rents. Just after noon It became evident that the whole valley would be submerged and tbe work of rescue began at once. Women and children were carried out by hand and in wagons, many women wading through the water two or three feet deep. The chief of police estimates that more than 600 house, are flooded and entirely out off and their occupants, numbering certainly much 2,000, rendered homeless.
