Contrary to the expectation of a largo portion of the lawyers of the city the judges of the extraordinary session of the gonoral term of the supreme court yesterday unanimously decided that Judge Barrett's rulings and charge during Sharp's trial in the court of oyer and terminer were correct, and that the sentence which Judge Barret inflicted upon Sharp, of four years in the state prison and a fine of $5,000, must stand.

IIammonvillk, Pa., Sept. 26.—Nothing has ever occurred here that created such excitement as that which followed the announcement yesterday morning that Ralph Williams, a colored professor of music, and Miss Lillian Morris, one of the prettiest and most prominent young ladies hereabout, had doped during the night. The news at first was discredited, but when confirmed great indignation prevailed, and many wore of tho opinion that the young lady had been forced away by Williams, but a letter written by Miss Morris just before her departure showed that sho exercised her own free will in the matter.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 27.—Wero it not for the cold northern winds which have boon experienced in Saratoga for tho past few days ono might imagine from the large number of arrivals that the season at the spa wus about to be inaugurated. Tho 084 delegates to the Democratic state convention, which meets at noon to-day, their alternates and the usual number of interested followers have about all arrived, and announce themselves ready for work. Nkw Yobk, Sept. 27.—At 12:35 p. m. the Thistle crossed the line ahead of the Volunteer, which crossed a minute later. The Thistle's lead is slight, but she seems to move more rapidly in the thin air. Wind Is light and variable. St. Louis, Sept 27.—The boys in blue and their friends have taken the city by storm. From 6 o'clock yesterday morning until midnight there was not a lapse of half an hour without a train, and the local reception committeo although its numbers had been reinforced, found it impossible to handle the people that crowded upon them. There were times when chaos reigned supreme and when even the awful rush of the Knight Templars conclave was more than surpassed. It is estimated that, including visiting civilians, there are fully 150,000 strangers in the city. New York, Sept 87.—At 11 o'clock yesterday the Volunteer was lowered fron* tho rlry dock foot of Twenty-third Brooklyn, and, having slung ber «-enterboard alongside, (he was taken in tow by tbc tug Maj. Ulrich and towed to deep water, when her centerboard was put in position. There were several hundred people 011 tho pier when she left it, and she was heartily cheered. She anchored off tlio Atlantic club house at noon. Neither Oon.

The woatlior wr.s cool and pleasant and the track in fair condition. First race, handicap sweepstakes, $600 lidded, six furlongs; Stuyvesant first, Mamie Hunt second, Roi d'Or third; time, 1:15%. Second race, purso 1600, one mile; Strideaway first, Arundel second, Santa Rita third; time, 1:43. Third race, Willow stakes, (1,000 added, six furlongs; Leo H. first, Blithesome sicond, My Own third; time, 1:16. Fourth race, handicap, $1,250 added, mile and three-sixteenths; Eolian first, Eurus second, Volanta third; time, 2:02}$. Fifth race, purso $000, six furlongs; King Crab first, Fordliain second, Dixenne third; time Sixth race, purse $500, soiling, mile and a sixteenth; Queen Bess first, Saluda second, Windsail third; time, 1:50^. The first person to have any knowledge of the affair was Miss Jennie Wagner, a friond and companion of the runaway girl, whose intentions were communicated in a letter to Miss Wagner. At 1:13 tho Volunteer was reported 1J miles ahead oE the Thistle, and at 1:30 she was two miles ahead, with a light wind blowing.Probably so Important a decision was never given so quietly, so swiftly, or in the presence of so fsw people. The secret of the court's action had been well kept, and when Presiding Judge Van Brunt and Judges Brady and Bartlett took their places on the bench at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon there wore present in the court room besides, only Sheriff Oraat, the court officers, Lawyer Frank J. Dupignac, a dally newspaper reporter, and two other gentlemen. As soon as the court had been opened Judge Van Brunt, without a moment's delay, read in a low tone from a slip of paper in his hand: In the matter of The People against Jacob Sharp. —The court, after a careful examination of the voluminous record presented in this case and of the questions raised upon his appeal, have unanimously come to the conclusion that no error prejudicial to the defendant occurs therein, and that the jury were justified In arriving at the result which they reached. The orders to be given upon the appeals and motions made prior to the argument will be settled on Thursday morning before the presiding justice. At 1:60 the Thistle had gained. It is thought that tho race would not be finished to-day. An influential delegation, representing the Brewers' association, is quartered at the "States," and it is supposed that the platform to be presented to the convention will prove the efficiency of its member*. At all events, the leaders of the delegation make the prediction.The letter gave a* a reason for Miss Morris' intended act the determination of Mr. Morrii to compol his daughter to marry Wilson Norri», a very jerslstent suftor, for whom she expressed extreme dislike. She laid all the responsibility upon her father. The news of tho elopement soon spread throughout the town, and many gathered ound the home of Lillian to hear the particulars. Tho young lady was held in universal esteem, and threats of summary punishment were everywhere expressed in the event of Williams being captured. Wilson Norris, the jilted suitor, soon put in an appearance, and after a brief consultation with Mr. Morris, started after the eloping couple, but outside of a tolygrara from Exeter, which said, "No trace yet," nothing further has been learned; but it is possible that they will not be ovortaken, as William is well booked on the geographical situation of the country, and he will keep clear of his pursuers. Sandy Hook, 2:55 p. m.—The Volunteor on starboard, outside Sandy Hook, is 1£ miles ahead of the Thistle which is drawing near the point of the Hook. The wind is southeast Nine miles have been made. The weather is hazy. afterward, and at 3 o'clock she go Whether this great multitude can be housed, even if it can be fed, is a serious question. Not a room, not even cot space remained at any of tho hotels after 10 o'clock last night, and the clerks were driven well nigh to distraction by the crowds that besetted the desks and bogged and pleaded for evou a place to lay their heads. Every lodging house within a radius of a mile of the old court houso is pretty well filled up, and plenty of people have been glad to secure accommodations two or three milos away. There appears to be but little contest over the state offices for which nominations are to be made, excepting perhaps that of attorney general, for which office William A. Poucher, of Oswego, and Deputy Attorney Genornl C. F. Taber are the contestants. The first named, however, has the eall. Secretary of State Frederic Cook, of Rochester, and State Treasurer Lawrence J. Fitzgerald have practically no opponents, and both will doubtless be renominated by acclamation. All doubt about the controllershlp would seem to have been removed by the declaration of Alfred C. Chapin, who has held the office two terms, declining renomination. This action leaves the field clear for Edward Wemple, of Fultonville. It is very generally conceded that John Bogert, of New York, will have no opponent for the office of state engineer.

New York, Sept. 27.—The members of the Gentlemen's Driving club docided, through a meeting of their committee yesterday, to hold a second fall trotting meeting at Fleetwood park on Oct. 5, 0 and 7, when some large purses will be contested for. Tho rush, in fact, has upset all calculations. As an example, accommodations had been ordered in advance (or 1,300 Californians, and when the train came in, what with wives and children and friends, thej wero 1,500 strong. The same, in a greater oj lessor degree, is true of almost every delega tioii that has put in an appearance. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 27.—A director of the Niagara Falls Racing association is authority for the statement that the report of the association's being hopelessly involved is erroneous. There was a deficiency this season, but this, it is expected, will be met by subscription, and the association bo continued another year. Judge Van Brunt then banded four opinions to the clerk, and the court was adjourned. It was in session just four minute* and thirteen seconds. Samuel Goldberg, the official reporter of the general term, called attention to the fact that it was just thirteen days since the arguments in Sharp's case bofore the general term begun.

To mako matters worse, the rain of yester day has so thoroughly saturated the tents in which the rank and file of the veterans were to be sheltered that the prospect of their oc cupancy is anything but inviting, and th« men who a score of years ago would have boon pcrfoctly contented with existing conditions are hardly willing to add to the infirmities of advancing age by sleeping upon tho damp grouud. The executive committee, however, has not allowed itself to get rattled, and its members to a unit express themselves as confident that provision can be found for «11 that come. THOUGHT HIM A POACHER. The Incident Tliat is Causing Excite- ment In Germany and France. Paris, Sept 27.—The following details have been received concerning tlie shooting incident on the Franco-German frontier near Kaon-sur-Plaine: Tho work of the convention will be in the committee on credentials, as there are more than the usual number of contests to be settled. In view of this fact, the first session of the convention will undoubtedly be brief, and after the selection of the committees a long recess will have to be taken in order to give the committee on credentials sufficient time to prepare its report Louisville, Sept. 27.—Yesterday's events: First race, three-quarters of a mile; Kormeso first, Autocrat second, Golightly third; time, 1:10££.

Jacob Sharp received the news—as be has taken every important step in his struggle for liberty—in a stolid manner and without visible Amotion. His wife was much affocted by the news. Young George Sharp and Mr. Selmes brought the tidings to the jail, and in a quiet manner made knows the decision of the general term. They remained with him until night. Dr. H. P. Loomis called about 4:30 p. m. to visit his patient, and remained a short time in consultation with him. Mr. Sharp is weak, and, aocording to those who see him daily, a very sick man. under way and went down the bay under her lower sails for a last trial previous to the race. After being satisfied that the set of tho sails was as perfect as possible she returned to the anchorage. Gen. Paino will have with him as guests to-day J. R.

On board the ThUtle yesterday Mate Macdonsid and the crew were busy getting all thiag in shipshape condition for the race. Everything in the shape of weight that could be dispensed with was taken on shore and stored in the storehouse of the Corinthian Yacht club at Tompkinsville, and the yacht will come to the line in perfect racing condition. Mr. Bell was on board most of the day. Mr. Bell will have with him to-day as guests on board the Thistle1?. B. Hilliard, J. W.

On Saturday morning a party of five sportsmen and four beaters were following a path on French territory, seven yards from tho frontier, when a person standing behind a clump of trees on the German side, eighty yards from the frontier, fired throe shots at them. The first bullet did not hit any one, but the second killed one of the beaters, named Brignon, and the third severely wounded a gentlemah named Wagner, a pupil at the Sauinur cavalry school. A ■ N . i U Im Fall Season 1HH 7 v U • Hon. William Dorsheimer and ex-Mayor Cooper are said to have already prepared various planks to be inserted in the platform, but neither of the gentleman will agree that the public should be made acquainted therewith prior to the submission of the report which may be agreeil upon by the committee on resolutions. Mr. Cooper's plank, it is understood, was prepared by Mayor Hewitt, and is devoted exclusively to the tariff question. The arrivals yesterday included the divisions from Kansas, Colorado, Tennessee, Georgia, Maine and Wyoming. Most of them brought oither a band or a fife and drum corps, and, dospite the rain and mud, they marched merrily through the streets to tho martial strains of the music. They hardly waited to get the dust from thoir clothes or replenish the wants of the inner man before they were mingling with the crowds in the lobbies of the hotels, seeking out old acquaintances and renewing the associations of years gone by. Many an affecting drama was enacted as men who bad not met oach other slnoe the close of the war found themselves face to face. Hands were grasped with hearty fervor, shoulders were dapped, necks hugged and every conceivable manifestation of joy and pleasure was indulged in by the gray haired veterans. Every now and then somebody would start "Marching Through Georgia" or some other war song, and the crowd would take up the refrain and make the welkin ring. Good nature and jollity were the order of the day and night, and altogether the veterans are having such a time as they have seldom, if ■ever, had before. London, Sept. 27.—The Sportsman publishes a dispatch from Sydney, N. S. W., that the committee iu charge of tho Beach- Hanlan race havo agreed to divide the receipts resulting from tho steamboat traffic on the occasion of the race equally between the principals. Tom Uuir, of whisky fame, has donated £200 to the winning oarsman. OUR STORY IS ABOUT HATS, THEY ELOPED WITH THE BOODLE, A German soldier named Kaufmann, who was detailed to assist the forest guards in preventing poaching, flred the shots. Kaufmann affirms that he shouted three times for the party to halt before firing at them. He balieved they were on German territory. The sportsmen declared they heard nothing. The officers on both sides of the frontier are making inquiries into the shooting.

Forrest, who said he had been proprietor of the Park hotel in Billings, M. T., for some years, called upon the chief of detectives yesterday and said that a woman with whom he had lived for sixteen years as man and wife had left Billings last August with Joel P. Thompson, who was at one time a boarder at the hotel, but who, by reason of sickness and his destitute circumstances, had been taken care of by Mr. Forrest and his mistress, and finally a place was given him in the establishment. Last August, Mr. Forrest says, he was absent from Billings for several weeks, during which time the hotel was destroyed by fire. On his return his wife—as be had recognised the womancomplained of illness, and was sent by him to St Paul with $3,200 in bank drafts, which, he says, she converted into cash, and then married Thompson, who, with the woman, was finally traced to this city. Upon Mr. Forrest's arrival here he located the pair and had them arrested. The woman acknowledged that she still had 91,700 of the money left. At the hearing Mr. Forrest declared that he did not desire to prosecute either of the parties, and that ho had decided to take the woman back to Montana with him. The state committee held a long session last night, but failed to conclude the roll of delegates and finally adjourned until to-day, It was decided to recommend the following named officers for the purpose of temporarily organizing the conventions Chairman, George Raines; recording secretary, Philo H. Backus; reading secretaries, William E. Delaney, John Courtney, Thomas 7. Gilroy and D. M. Carvello. The committee also decided not to recognize the Irving Hall delegates as entitled to seats in the convention.

La to lost night the Kings county delegation dccided to press Lawrence J. Toomey, deputy treasurer of Kings oouuty, for the controllershlp. There is some talk of making William Dorsheimer permanent chairman of the convention, but the majority of the delegates appear to entertain the idea that the temporary organization will be made permanent, as was the case two years ago. Crush Opera Hats. Chicago, Sept. 27.—Oscar Neobe, the only one of the eight condemned Anarchists who was sentenced to imprisonment, was taken to Joliet penitentiary last evening to begin his term of fifteen years. Neeb* Begins HI* Term. Now that the delegations are getting together there is more discussion, although in a quiet way, of the principal questions that will engross the consideration of the encampment convention. The friends of Maj. Gen. •Grler, of [this city, and Congressman Warner, of Kansas City, are working like beavers in the interests of their respective candidates for the position of commander in chief, 1Dut they are somewhat hampered by the unwritten rule and precedent which always •■gives the state in which the convention is held the senior vice commander. The New Yorkers have put a quietus upon the reports that Gen. Slocum was out of the race by inaugurating a vigorous movement in his behalf, and Department Commander Maj. George H. Tread well insists that bis chances are eminently favorable. He has also come out In an interview, which is the talk of the lobbies, in which he boldly gives a political turn to the canvass by declaring that is almost time that the Grand Army elected a Democrat to the position. On the other band, some of the most influential delegates from eastern states say emph&tioally that the political question must be kept out of sight, aud that in view of recent occurrences the bust interests of the order emphatically demand that the position should be conferred upon a comrade who bns never been known as a politician. Unless this is done, they say, there may be trouble in (tore for the organization before another year has gone by. Tli«y Wera Nat Locked Out.

Thoy are as determinod as ever to have the half holiday and their pay for the timo also. The general impression is that the manufacturers will be compelled to con* cede the demands of the workers, though some of them want to give the men the time without pay. Sndden Death of a New Haven Brewer. New Haven, Sept. 27.—CoL George A. Basserman, a well known and prominent citizen, died suddenly yesterday of heart disease.

Wheeler', » Co., was opened with a reduced force yesterday under Receiver Galpin. The police boat Patrol will follow the Voluntoer and Thistle around the course to preserve order, to keep the excursion boats in their proper places and to bo ready in case of any emergency to save lifo and property. Mayor Hewitt only oonsented to the u se of the Patrol on condition that 110 outsiders should be permitted on board.

"Let him do so," said a poet commander-in-chief when be heard of this report, "and he will hear Rome howl and be sat down upon as never a man has been sat upon in an onpampment before." Inspector Byrnes reported to the comuiitteo early this morning to receive orders. He will strive to prevent the excursion steamers from giving the racers their swash, as it is claimed the Eliza Hancock did to the Galatea last year. The stock market was only fairly active this morning. The dct:llue to 18 o'clock ranged from V4 to per cent The decline of the morning could only be attributed to bear hammering, us there was no unfavorable news in circulation.

Pacific Mail was the feature of tho afteruoou, advancing steadily on a vigorous buying, and closing per cent, higher than It did on Baturday. llie advance and buying of the stock was attributed to a prospective change in the directory, iuvolv n„' the resignation of Mr. Hart from tho presidency and some further changes, and the surrendering of Mr. Hart's controlling interest.
