—County Assessor Ryan says that the whole tax on the property owned by China men in this county in the year 1877 reached the magnificent sum of $78 60.

—Mr. Isaac Cohen has returned from San Francisco, bringing with him a very large and fine assortment of dry goods, etc. In a circular sent out with this issue of the Gazette will be found a list of bargains which he offers.
—The jury in the case of the People vs. Wong Chu Shut rendered a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at imprisonment for life. When the verdict was interpreted to the prisoner he fainted and did not recover consciousness for fully ten minutes.
—In must not be supposed that the hilarious individual who is disporting himself on top of Cahen & Willard's new advertisement is a "counterfeit presentment" of either of the firm. It represents one of their customers who, overjoyed at some fine bargain he has just made, has stepped out on the sidewalk and is executing a pas de seul testimony of his gratification.
—a boarding house kept by A. J. Hamilton, at Rubio's Canyon, eleven miles from Los Angeles, was burned down on Sunday. The house was insured for $1200 and the furniture and fixtures for $1100. The excitement consequent upon the fire brought a return of Mr. Hamilton's old malady—hemorrhage of the lungs—and he is now in a precarious condition.
—the three trials of Wong Chu Shut, the Chinese murderer, are said to have cost the county about $2,500. Of this amount, about $1,800 were paid to jurors, three veniures of 75 each having been made. Public indignation at the great cost entailed on the county by this murderous Mongolian should be modified by the knowledge that the bulk of the money was paid to the 225 citizens from whom a jury was selected.

An Alarming Disease.
An inquest was held this afternoon at Truman & Woodrow's, on the body of a Chinaman who died in a wagon yesterday morning en route to the County Infirmary. Deceased was taken ill on Friday, at a ranch near Alviso, with belly ache, and it continued to grow worse. He was being moved for treatment when he died. There was nothing to show that he had been poisoned. The jury returned a verdict that he died of belly ache.
The three trials of Wong Chu Shunt, the Chinese murderer, are said to have cost the county about $2,500. Of this amount, about $1,800 were paid to jurors, three venires of 75 each having been made. Public indignation at the great cost entailed on the county by this murderous Mongolian should be modified by the knowledge that the bulk of the money was paid to the 225 citizens from whom a jury was selected. It is certain that none of this band of 225 are disposed to quarrel with the system which put an average of $8 in the pockets of each of them.
One hundred and ten votes were polled at the Democratic primaries on Saturday. It will be seen from the following returns that Messrs. McFadden, Rimpau and Scott were elected delegates to the County Convention which met in Los Angeles yesterday:
Theo. Rimpau.....65.
R. W. Scott.....65.

At the meeting of the Home Industry League, last night, it was resolved to give a dinner composed entirely of Los Angeles products, during Fair week next fall, to which will be invited delegations from all the Branch Leagues of Southern California, besides editors and other judges of good provender. Already a number of producers have been interviewed. Mr. J. De Barth Shorb has promised wines and liquors, Mr. Bullis cheese, Mr. Williams, of Wilmington, fish, and Mr. I. Lankershim flour, which Mr. T. E. Rowan has agreed to have made up in all kinds of bread and cakes. A number of other gentlemen have signified their willingness to make contributions, and we have no doubt that everybody in the county will send something. The feast, we feel confident, will be one of the most varied and sumptuous ever set out—Herald.

REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.
In the House Monday, Mr. Saylor, speaker pro tem, announced the Select Committee who are to do the dirty investigation work into the President's title. Speaker Randall appointed the committee before he left town, but requested that it be kept secret until the 20th. The names are as follows: Clarkson N. Potter, Chairman; Morrison, Ill.; McMahon, Ohio; Stenger, Penn.; Blackburn, Ky.; Cobb, Ind.; Hutton, Va.; Ben. Butler, Mass.; Hiscock, N. Y.; Cox, Ohio; and Reed, Maine. Eleven, in all. Seven Democrats and four Republicans. The Committee will be assigned a room and will go to work at once. The intention is to conduct the examination with open doors, but they reserve the right to hold secret sessions whenever they choose. Open doors, however, do not mean that the public generally will be admitted, simply the representatives of the press. Mr. Blackburn will be the leader of the Democratic seven. He it was who most pointedly threatened the title last October. By his appointment on the Committee, it is evi-

Mr. C. Shotwell from Santa Barbara has been in town for a few days with a view of locating here. He will engage in the grocery and provision business. Messara Auney and Gillette, also from Santa Barbara, accompanied him. They propose to engage in the furniture business.
The ring men were "disgruntled" last Saturday at the Democratic primary, being able to cast but sixteen votes out of sixty-three. Selah! Some very amusing scenes took place during the day. The dogmatic Dogberry who acted as judge did not have to put the test "Are you a Democrat?" but only needed to look in the applicant's face to tell whether he was a Democrat or not, but the strongest part of the whole thing was, that he took all men for Republicans whom he suspected were not going to vote for his man. He managed to squeeze in sixteen votes in this way.
R. Eagan, a pronounced Bowden man, and Mr. Rosenbaum, of San Juan, were elected delegates from San Juan Capistrano. Tilman Bush, from Upper Santa Ana; Mr. Hargrave, from Orange; and Dr. Wall, from Fustin city, were elected.
Mr. Duane Young's family has arrived from the East.

The newest thing in Santa Ana is the PERALTA'S WONDERFUL RIDE.
Three hundred and five miles in less than fifteen hours.
From the New York Sun.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning, in Fleetwood Park, Francisco Peralta again started on a second attempt within eighteen days to ride 305 miles in fifteen hours. The track was very heavy from the late rain, and the wind blew chill and cold across the park. The tough Mexican appeared at the judges' stand promptly on time, and springing on a little bay horse exactly at 4; started off with a yell from a Congo stableman to the mustang that reeched from the Westchester hills. The first stroaks of daylight were sufficient to enable keen eyes to follow the horse and rider around the mile, which was made against the wind and through the mud in 2:20. The second mile in 2:33, the third in 2:31, the fourth in 2:33, and the fifth in 2:13, which elicited a round of applause. The first ten miles were completed in 23 minutes 10 seconds.
In the thirteenth mile Peralta's horse broke down at the half mile post. Another horse was sent to him, and 4 minutes, 50 seconds were consumed in making this mile. The nineteenth mile was run in 2:17. The time for the second ten miles was 25 minutes,

Reed, Maine. Eleven, in all. Seven Democrats and four Republicans. The Committee will be assigned a room and will go to work at once. The intention is to conduct the examination with open doors, but they reserve the right to hold secret sessions whenever they choose. Open doors, however, do not mean that the public generally will be admitted, simply the representatives of the press. Mr. Blackburn will be the leader of the Democratic seven. He it was who most pointedly threatened the title last October. By his appointment on the Committee, it is evident that the House does not intend to give the President a fair deal, because with Blackburn there is nothing but settled prejudice, and he enters upon his semi-judicial business of investigating frauds, which he believes already have been perpetrated. All thought of the welfare of the country at large is of course laid aside now by the Democrat. A demon-liked desire to “investigate” burns in their breasts, and investigate they will.
A prominent journalist, who is accustomed to the issues public and private of politicians, remarked in your correspondent’s hearing the other day, “I would never vote for a man who pretended, or claimed to be either ‘economical’ or ‘reformatory.’ There is no such thing in politics, and who cries ‘reform’ and ‘retrenchment’ the loudest is the biggest demagogue and liar. The country does not want economy. The Government is for the people and not to squeeze all the money it can out of them. Look at France, see how prosperous she is, and how wonderonly quick she lifted her tremendous war indemnity. It was because the Government pursued a liberal policy in relation to internal improvements.” There’s considerable logic in that journalist.
Senator Sharon of California has not been in his seat in the Senate at all this session. If he were to experience an acceleration of that “silent” monitor that dwells in every heart (except a Congressman’s) he would probably remit his salary to the conscience fund. He has refused point blank several times to come here, because he sees more of this world’s lucre in his mind’s eye, at his home in the far West.
In the mail to the Treasurer of the U.S. last week came some mutilated greenbacks from a man in Missouri. From his statement it appears that he was planting corn and placed a basket containing $70 by the side of the field. A calf intent on financial pursuits “retired” the greenbacks by swallowing them. The calf was immediately butchered, and the fragments recovered from the stomach were sent to the Treasury. Being found all right a check was returned for the full amount. That is the way the greenback theory of the calf affected the weal of Mr. Freeman, who now announces himself ready to resume. The calf hasn’t been heard from on the subject.
In the event of a declaration of war between Russia and England this Government will at once issue a proclamation of neutrality, and use every effort to enforce its provisional status.
The farmers south of here who have cut their hay, are now plowing for corn. Very little good hay has been made except on the uplands.
Quite a breeze of excitement has been raised among the present owners of twenty-five acres of the town of Santa Ana owing to the fact that the title to the above named tract, know as the Samis & Shaffer Addition, was found defective. It has now been perfected, and it is said the cost of the same amounts to about as much as the land cost the present owners originally. The rumor in regard to the Yorba tract is of periodical occurrence, and has no reference or relation to any land within five miles of this place.
Mr. Russell’s and Elder Clapp’s joint debate has been deferred until July first.
The caterpillar army worm has disappeared from this section without doing any material damage.
Jacob Ross has returned from jury duty in Los Angeles and was surprised to learn of his election as delegate to Convention in Los Angeles to be held on Tuesday.
R. Eagan, a pronounced Bowden man, and Mr. Rosenbaum, of San Juan, were elected delegates from San Juan Capistrano. Tilman Bush, from Upper Santa Ana; Mr. Hargrave, from Orange; and Dr. Wall, from Iustin city, were elected.

Mr. A. Graham has not entered into business with Mr. Turner, has stated some time ago.
The newest thing in Santa Ana is the Herald. It bears the empress seal stamp of Nap Donavan that the News wore in its palmest days.
The great “disgrunted” has gone to bed again.
The Santa Ana baby returned from Los Angeles last night. It had been serving on a jury at that place.
H. W. Hamilton, of Downey, has been visiting this place for the last few weeks.
The old regime of the school betray no intention of furnishing an account of their stewardship, but refuse to turn over the books and papers to the proper authorities. They seem to be afraid of letting them see the light of day, but they will have to come, my dears.
Mr. Swanson showed us some heads of wheat some time ago, six inches in length taken from the ranch of Mr. N. Palmer, near this place. The wheat was sown by Mr. Bolwar Jones. It was of the “Proper” variety and the grain well filled.
The former owner of the News introsus us that Mr. Bowden, the editor of it, is one of the ablest writers on the coast. We suppose for this, and other reasons equally good, he is so earnest in his support of him for the Constitutional Convention.
We learn from Democratic sources that Mr. Eagan, of San Juan Capistrano, has persistently refused to be a candidate, in the interests of the Los Angeles ring, for the Constitutional Convention. He is a living illustration of that apparent paradox, of a man being honest in politics. He had pledged himself to support another man for the position and he stuck to it after unheard of pressure had been brought to bear to induce him to act otherwise. We admire his shrewdness as well as his honesty. He is aware that the ring ticket put up in Los Angeles months ago, will be beaten at the polls and he, consequently, has no desire to be identified with them in anyway nor to share with them the inglorious defeat that awaits them.

In the thirteenth mile Peralta’s horse broke down at the half mile post. Another horse was sent to him, and 4 minutes, 50 seconds were consumed in making this mile. The nineteenth mile was run in 2:17. The time for the second ten miles was 25 minutes, 44 seconds.
The thirty-second and thirty-third miles were run on one horse in 2:32 and 2:38. This was the only horse that had run more than one mile without rest. Forty horses were in the stables ready for Peralta’s use.
The third ten miles were run in 2:40. The next ten miles were made in 2:31 without any incident of note.
In the forty-seventh mile Peralta’s horse bolted, and ten seconds were lost. The ten miles from the fortieth to the fiftieth were covered in 23 minutes, 17 seconds. The fifty-fifth mile was glided over in 2:17. In 23 minutes, 1 second, the ten miles ending at the sixtieth were cleared.
The sixty-first mile was covered in 2:17 and the sixty-seventh in 2:18; the ten miles ending at the seventieth being run in 23:32.
The seventy-first mile was run in 2:30. A horse bolted on the seventy-second mile, ten seconds were lost, and the mile used up 2 minutes, 52 seconds. The eightietin mile was skimmed over in 2:14. The time of the last ten miles up to the eighteenth was 23:21.
Peralta started off on his eighty-first mile as fresh as a daisy. The sun had partly dried the track, and the wind had moderated. The mile was made in 2:19. The eighty-fifth mile was also run in 2:19. In the eighty-seventh mile another better caused a loss of 10 seconds. The ninetyieth mile was covered in 2:18,andthetenmilestothenineiethin23:21.

In the event of a declaration of war between Russia and England this Government will at once issue a proclamation of neutrality, and use every effort to enforce its provisions. In the Russian-Turko war such a measure was unnecessary, the interests involved in the conflict being so far removed from this country. In a Russian-British war events have demonstrated clearly that international complications of a serious order will arise if the United States does not proclaim its neutrality and enforce as far as possible a strict observance of the treaty of Washington and fulfil other international obligations.
The report of Solicitor Raynor in regard to the Metropolis disaster says that the builder, owner, Captain and master, are highly culpable, and upon his recommendation criminal suits will be at once brought by the United States against all the parties. They will probably think this unjust, but,

Trained Venetian Doves.
There are on board the Christoforo Colombo (the Italian man-of-war now in the harbor), a number of Venetian doves which are as tame as kittens and more intelligent than parrots. When called they come and eat from the hands of the officers and men. When told to fly on the head of any of the official staff or crew they start up in the air, make a circle and come down, perching themselves on the hat or bare head, as the case may be. When called back they fly toward the person calling, billing and cooing about him as if proud of their achievement. To strangers who attempt to make them perform they turn a deaf ear, and look cunningly from the eyes as much as to bandy them with the postie slang of the hour, "What d'ye soye?" The doves mate and marry, and have families on board.—San Francisco Chronicle.

The controllers of Battersea cemetery, near London, are rigid economists. Up to 1875 they would dump twenty-six bodies at a time into one grave, dug so deep that it went below the drainage of the cemetery. The Home Office interfered, and then they consideratively interred only four in one grave, the Home Office regulation being that only one should be buried in each grave, which shall then be closed for fourteen years. The medical officer of the district is of the opinion that proximity to this economical spot "is likely to cause susceptibility to disease." Cemeteries require every possible care. There are those who aver that even over Greenwood a mephitic vapor hovers, and probably a better conducted cemetery doesn't exist.

The South Methodist church is finished; the Baptist nearly so, both being located on Church St., between West and Main Streets.

The representatives of the solid substantial farmers and citizens of Orange, Tustin, Newport and Santa Ana, gathered together at the Sycamore Hall last Monday evening to discuss the lighter question. It was found that between nine and ten thousand dollars had been subscribed. It was decided to do nothing more until enough sares were taken to make up the requisite $10,000. The meeting then adjourned for two days.
Santa Ana, June 31, 1878,
The controllers of Battersea cemetery, near London, are rigid economists. Up to 1875 they would dump twenty-six bodies at a time into one grave, dug so deep that it went below the drainage of the cemetery. The Home Office interfered, and then they consideratively interred only four in one grave, the Home Office regulation being that only one should be buried in each grave, which shall then be closed for fourteen years.

Afresh, and came in in three minutes. He made the next mile in 2:11, and followed it up with 2:13, and another in 2:19, the ten miles being run in 2:14.
The next ten miles, up to 120, were run in 2:45, without special incident.
In the 124th mile the horse bolted three times. Peralta slipped off at the third bolt, but remounted nimbly, and finished the mile in 3:09. The 123d mile was cleared in 2:16, the 125th in 2:17, and the 127th in 2:28. Peralta hero stopped twenty-four minutes for breakfast. His pulse beat at the rate of 136; when he started it was about 96. He weighed 160 pounds at the beginning of his ride; on being reweighed, at the 127th mile, it was found that he had lost six pounds. He rode the ten miles up to 130 in 2:30.
The next ten miles, to 140, were glided over in 2:12, without excitement or incident.
When Peralta had ridden 152 miles, just half his journey, he was 15 minutes and 52 seconds ahead of time. He made the 154th mile, on his favorite Tom, in 2:10. This was the fastest mile made. The ten miles ending 160 were run in 2:48.
The 161st to the 170th miles were covered without special or noteworthy incident in 22:51.
It was now 12 o'clock. Peralta stopped 24 minutes for an entire change of clothing. He was rubbed down and washed with bay rum. His skin was a pure olive, and muscle lay in bunches all over his body. His pulse was 120 when he stopped, and dropped to 96 before his next start. He went off with renewed vigor on his 171st mile, which was run in 2:29, the 174th in 2:13, and the 175th in 2:12, finishing the ten ending at 180 in 2:42.

Mark Anthony's Oration over Caesar.
THE TEXT FROM WHICH SHAKESPEARE WROTE HIS VERSION.
Friends, Romans, countrymen! Lend me your ear;
I will return them next Saturday. I come
To bury Caesar, because the times are hard,
And his folks can't afford to hire an undertaken.
The evil that men do, lives after them.
In the shape of progeny who reap the benefits of their life insurance,
So let it be with the deceased.
Brutus has told you Caesar was ambitious.
What does Brutus know about us?
It is none of his funeral. Would that it were!
Horse under leave of you I came to.
Make a Speech at Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and lust to me;
He loaned me $5 once when I was in a pinch,
And signed my petition for a Postoffle.
But Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus should wipe off his chili.
Caesar hath brought many captives home to Rome.
Who broke stones on the streets until their ransoms?
Did the general coffers fill.
When the poor hath cried, Caesar hath wept.
Because it didn't cost anything and Made him solid with the masses.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus is a liar and I can prove it.
You all did see that on the Luneral
I thrice presented him a kingly crown.
Which he did thrice refuse because it didn't fit him.
Was this ambition? Yet, Brutus says he was ambitions.
Brutus is not only the biggest bar in the country. [Applause]
But he is a horse thief of the deepest dye.
If you have tears to shed, prepare to shed them now.
You all do know this Ulster.
I remember the first time ever Caesar put it on.
It was on Summer's evening in his tent.
With the thermometer registering ninety in the shade.
But it was an ulster to be proof of.
And cost him $6 at Marne Swartamayer's,
Corner of Los Angeles and Lemon Streets, sign of the red flag.
From the 280th to the 290th mile there was an even round of running, the ten miles scoring 23:52.
Although Peralta's lips turned blue on the 291st mile he finished it in 2:30, and seemed infused with new life. From this time out to the close of the 305th mile the wonderful horseman was sent off at each mile with cheers and yells from the spectators and stablemen. In closing the 3021 mile he vanished from the back of one horse to the other without touching the ground. The last 14 miles were run in the following remarkable time: 292d, 2:23; 293d, 2:32; 294th, 2:26; 295th, 2:27; 297th, 2:29; 298th, 2:25; 299th, 2:21; 300th, 2:25; 301st, 2:26; 302d, 2:31; 304th, 2:19; 305th and last, 2:14.
The last mile was within three seconds of the quickest mile run. It was finished at exactly 6:31, thus giving Peralta 29 minutes to spare in his great race against time.
As there seems to be some interest felt by farmers in this section in regard to chufas, we take the following extracts from a letter of W. A. Sanders of Fresno county, published in the Rural Press:
I never reached such results as I have read of chufa raising. But there is a cause for it. I have never had all the conditions favorable. Chufas, for the most perfect success in producing them, require a soil that will not bake under any circumstances, just such a light, sedimentary sand as the hollows on our Fresno plains afford. Then they must have an abundance of water, as much as other sedges, and you know that sedges grow only in or around the edges of water holes. With an abundance of water, enough to keep the surface of the ground (which should be perfectly level) even wet with no puddle of more than an inch or two in depth and perfect command of the water, to increase or lessen the amount at will. With all these conditions, and seed planted in the proper time, and careful attention, I believe as great results can be reached here as any that we read of and tubers produced of a size and flavor that will justify the commonly accepted name of "ground almond." Time and experience will doubtless aid us very much in understanding this as well as many other products more perfectly; but I feel assured, from my present standpoint, in saying chufas will become a prominent and profitable crop on the irrigated sand plains and certain portions of the extensive region of tule lands. Chufas for seed should be perfectly dried before storing them away for seed or other purposes. But the vitality of the seed may be permanently destroyed by laying them out for even a single day in the extreme heat of our autumn sun. Much seed is injured in this way. I bought $5 worth of seed from a Rural advertiser some time ago, apparently as fine chufas as any one ever need wish to see; but, on testing them, the vitality was gone, doubtless from the cause above mentioned. I cast no blame upon the parties who sold me the seed. I know them to be upright, honorable gentlemen, who would not knowingly wrong anyone out of the value of anything; and the failure of the seed to grow was from a cause undoubtedly beyond their knowledge and consequently beyond their control. I speak
Old horses wanted $40 for it. But finally came down to $8, because it was Cheer! Was this ambition? If Brutus says it was He is even a greater liar than Mrs. Tilton! Look! In this place ran Cassius' dagger through Through this son of agim of a Brutus stabbed And, when he plucked his curved steel away Mare Anthony, how the blood of Cheer followed it (Cheer and cry of "Give us something on the Silver bill," "Hit him again," etc.) I come not friends, to steal away your hearts; I am no thief as Brutus is. Brutus has a monopoly in that business And if he had his deserts he would be In the penitentiary, and don't you forget it Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to stir you up To such a sudden flood of molley; And as it looks like rain The pall bearers will please place the coffin in the hearse And we will proceed tobury Cheer Not to praise him.
A Fatal Collision.
LONDON, May 31.—A dispatch from Dover says: The German squadron, consisting of three ironclads—the Preussen, Grosser Kurfürst and Koenig Wilhelm—passed Dover at 8:45 this morning, bound for Plymouth, whence it expected to sail for Gibraltar. When the squadron was off Ludgmate, about five miles from shore, one of the ironclads was observed to be gradually keeling over on her beam ends, and the men were seen crowding on the bulwarks. In about five minutes the vessel went down on her side, her boilers blowing up as she sank. Boats from the other ironclads were launched, and a number of Folkestone fishing smacks near by hurried to the scene.
The captain of a fishing-boat makes the following statement: "My boat, with other fishing vessels, was returning to Folkestone when we noticed three ironclads coming down. A bark was fetching off shore, and the Grosser Kurfürst ported her helm to clear the bark. The Koenig Wilhelm pulled hard-a-port and struck the Grosser Kurfürst forward of her mitzen-mast, when the Kurfürst went over on her broadside and sank in five minutes. She went down in fifteen fathoms. All hands jumped overboard. Our boats reached the spot directly afterward and rescued twenty-seven men, including three officers. Other boats rescued a number of the crew, all of whom were transferred to the Koenig Wilhelm. The boilers did not explode, but the escaping steam must have secalled many persons in the water. The Koenig Wilhelm had her bow stove, but the leak was stopped with hammocks. The collision was undoubtedly caused by the Koenig Wilhelm porting her helm too suddenly."
LONDON, June 1.—According to a telegram dispatched by Rear Admiral Baldwin from Folkestone, 183 men were saved. Most
The horse bolted three times off at the third bolt, only, and finished the 23d mile was cleared. The 12th in the stopped twenty-four at.

Peralta stopped fire change of clothing and washed with bay soap pure olive, and muscled over his body. He stopped, and dropped start. He went off on his 171st mile, which is 174th in 2:13, and the ending at mile in 2:30, and closed making the last ten miles up to the 200th mile as 23:28; the total time 29 hours 39 minutes.
Mounted his horse for the ease of a circus rider circle in 2:19. He soared mustang for the reeled in 2:15. The 10 were spun out in a mile were galloped minutes.

255 miles Peralta rested a pulse heat at the mile destroyed by laying them out for even a single day in the extreme heat of our autumn sun. Much seed is injured in this way. I bought $5 worth of seed from a Rural advertiser some time ago, apparently as fine chufas as any one ever need wish to see; but, on testing them, the vitality was gone, doubtless from the cause above mentioned. I cast no blame upon the parties who sold me the seed. I know them to be upright, honorable gentlemen, who would not knowingly wrong anyone out of the value of anything; and the failure of the seed to grow was from a cause undoubtedly beyond their knowledge and consequently beyond their control; and I speak of it here only as a warning to seed raisers and seed buyers. In buying seed chufas, be sure that they were dried in the shade and not in the glaring heat of the sun. Sundried ones are just as good for other purposes except for seed.
The Lord Chief Justice of England, Sir Alexander Cockburn, has been calling attention to the mischief arising from allowing the British soldier to go about in his red coat. One David Ratcliffe, a grenadier, purloined the purse of a servant girl at a concrt to which they had gone in company. Sir Alexander, in his charge to the jury, said that "It is extraordinary to what an extent domestic servants suffered themselves to be duped by soldiers. They were foolish enough to be charmed, as it were, by the tall and portly figure of a fine young fellow encased in a scarlet jacket, to such an extent that they actually placed their reputation at stake for the mere pleasure of walking arm-in-arm with him. He was sorry to see that girls were such fools, but he supposed that it was an infatuation they could not avoid."
Cleveland, Ohio, May 31st.—About 11 o'clock this morning a mob of about 20,000 people who had congregated to see what they could of the execution of Webb, the colored murderer, of Mansfield, Ohio, made a rush overpowered the guards, scaled the jail yard fence and in a few moments had torn down the greater part of the enclosure. Sheriff Ritchie telegraphed to Gov. Bishop notifying him of the fact and saying that unless he hung Webb publicly the mob would tear down the jail. The Governor replied directing him to carry out the sentence of the law. At 12:20 p.m. Sheriff Ritchie and Sheriff Gay, of Knox county, appeared with Webb and after adjusting the notes about Webb's neck and a short prayer being offered, the drop was splung. Life was pronounced extinct in 10 minutes.
London, June 1.—According to a telegram dispatched by Rear Admiral Balsh from Folekstone, 183 men were saved. Most of the estimates give the Grosser Kurfurst's crew at about 500. A report resting upon the authority of the Sandgate Coast Guard says 255 were saved. The Coast Guard, however, state that they are informed that the Grosser Kurfurst's crew was nearer than number than 500. It was reported that 22 of the rescued have since died from exhaustion. The Admiral states that the Grosser Kurfurst sunk quicker than the officers of the other vessel deemed it possible. It appears that the Grosser Kurfurst's also under-rated the damage, as they commenced an attempt to turn the vessel's head shoreward. Some spars fell at the time of the collision, probably preventing the launch of the boats, one of which was filled with man, hanging from the davits when the vessel sunk.
It is extremely difficult to obtain exact information about the sinking of the Grosser Kurfurst. The survivors were taken on board other ironclads, and nobody from either of these vessels has landed at Folkestone or Dover. All the morning papers give different estimates of the nuphar lost and saved. The Telegraph reports 167 saved out of a crew of 520.
The latest statement is that out of 500 men of the Grosser Kurfurst about 210 were saved, including 13 officers, among whom was the Captain, previously reported lost.
