WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... AUGUST 19, 1882 HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. We have read somewhere or other that a great European war was once upon a time precipitated by a small boy kicking a valler dog. The dog ran through the street howling and upset an old woman's apple stand, scattering the contents thereof. The old woman raised up her voice in lamentation and a crowd gathered and the strife over the spilled fruit became so bitter that the soldiers were ordered out to disperse the mutants, who, on the appearance of the military, made common cause against them. The fighting that ensued precipitated a revolution and a civil war. And the boy who kicked the valler dog was the prime mover of all the disturbance. History is repeating itself. The causes which led to the Egyptian imbroglio have been set forth by Lebid Effendi, the special Commissioner of the Sultan, who was instructed to report upon Egyptian affairs. He describes the condition of matters in Egypt last year, and the efforts of Arabi Pasha to compel the Khadiree to oust the foreigners from the siege official positions which they filled, and shows that the consequent agitation and bitter feeling had been smoothed over by the Turkish Commissioners (who had been sent by the Sultan to endeavor to prevent a rupture). Matters were in a favorable shape for an amicable settlement of all disturbing questions when one day a Maltese and a donkey boy had a row in the streets of Alexandria. The quarrel between the two attracted a crowd, and by an easy transition notting began and then followed the memorable massacre of foreigners. After that occurrence there was no way to prevent the bombardment and ruin of the city. So it appears that a donkey boy is responsible for Egypt's plight and England's folly! LUMBER SUPPLY. is a popular delusion—and one which is excusable considering the enormous demand for lumber—that the forests of the Pacific Coast will soon, in miner's parlance, "peter out." But no one who has not seen the dense forests from which California gets its lumber supply can form any conception of life insurance is a wise and provident measure, and the man of family who, being able, fails to hold a policy or certificate is guilty of an almost criminal negligence. Some such idea as this is held by an English clergyman named Blackley, and he proposes to make insurance compulsory. He advocates the enactment by Parliament of a law compelling every man and woman [in England] to pay into a national insurance society a sum of fifty dollars, before he or she is twenty-one years of age. He calculates that this fund would provide $2 a week in case of sickness, and $1 a week for all reaching the age of seventy. We fear that in his excess of zeal the worthy clergyman has lost sight of one important consideration: — Where are her Majesty's subjects to get the $50? There are hundreds of thousands of them who from sheer inability could never comply with any such law. The proposition in its present shape is absurd enough, but it may yet bear fruit and result in good to the people. The system of life insurance has proven a great blessing. It has given to families a competence, when without it they would have been paupers. It has educated and clothed children who otherwise would have grown up ignorant and become social pests. It has, in fact, been one of the greatest factors in the well-being of the country. There is probably not a reader of the GAZETTE who does not know of some instances where the payment of insurance money has raised families from a condition of poverty to comparative affluence. Life insurance, in some form or other, is happily getting to be quite common. Not only are the regular insurance companies doing an increasing business, but the various Orders which have an insurance feature are growing rapidly in membership. The growth of some of these Orders is astonishing, and the low percentage of suspensions for non-payment of assessments is a barometer which not only indicates the industrial prosperity of the country but also shows the intense interest which the members take in keeping up their standing. And as an index to the business done by life insurance companies it may be stated that the companies which reported to the New York Insurance Department showed that in one year they had disbursed twenty-one millions of dollars among widows and orphans, nine millions of dollars on matured endowment policies, and WESTMINSTER.

Henry Hudson of Out of a wagon last passed over his boots from which he has sin LUMBER SUPPLY. It is a popular delusion—and one which is excusable considering the enormous demand for lumber—that the forests of the Pacific Coast will soon, in miners' parlance, "peter out." But no one who has not seen the dense forests from which California gets its lumber supply can form any conception of the immensity of the area which is studded with the giant trees. The Oregonia, alluding to this subject says: "During the twenty years in which Puget Sound has been a timber mart its mills have been supplied from the forests along the shores. In but one locality has the forest been penetrated more than a mile inland from navigable water. And yet the traveler along the sound cannot discover a hole in the great sea-like area of forest. It is true that methods of logging and milling are extremely wasteful, but it is not true that our forests are rapidly disappearing." It is the opinion of practical men that the old fashioned ox-team and skid-road method of logging will give place to a new system. In the redwood districts of northern California narrow-gauge railways have come to be generally used. Temporary tracks are laid out through the forests and the logs hauled directly to the mills. Several of these roads extend as far as twenty miles and tap regions long set down as inaccessible. When the fine groves which border the Sound are exhausted, similar roads will be employed to carry to mill the forests which lie inland. Not in two centuries will the timber resources of western Washington Territory be exhausted. INSANITY. We have not at hand any statistics by which comparison can be made, but the assumption that there are more insane people in the Asylums of California than in like institutions in other States will be found not to be far from wrong. In addition to a number of private asylums for the care of the insane, the State has two institutions, one at Stockton and one at Napa. On the first day of August there were 1098 inmates of the first named asylum—778 males and 320 females. At Napa there are not so many, but the total of about 2000 insane in a population of 864,694 souls (the population of California) is an undue proportion and shows that there is a screw loose somewhere. For some reason or other, the county of Los Angeles furnishes a very large number of insane. Scarcely a week passes in which there are not one or two commitments to the asylum from this county; and as a matter of fact there is one deputy connected with the Sheriff's office whose time is almost wholly occupied in transporting insane people and criminals to the prison and say ing, and the low percentage of suspensions for non-payment of assessments is a barometer which not only indicates the industrial prosperity of the country but also shows the intense interest which the members take in keeping up their standing. And as an index to the business done by life insurance companies it may be stated that the companies which reported to the New York Insurance Department showed that in one year they had disbursed twenty-one millions of dollars among widows and orphans, nine millions of dollars on matured endowment policies, and twelve millions of dollars were returned to persons who surrendered their policies. In all forms, more than fifty-six millions of dollars were distributed that year by these companies. The insurance Orders are peculiarly an American idea, and have found but little foothold in Europe as yet. If the Rev. Mr. Blackley would familiarize himself with their workings he would find that they would prove a good substitute for his Utopian scheme, and would furnish to his country-men that which they most need—a cheap form of life insurance. A FIERCE ARRAIGNMENT. John Swinton of New York, about as able a man as the ranks of the Socialists contain, paid his respects to the legal fraternity in a recent speech. The subject under discussion was the new Penal Code of New York which is obnoxious to Swinton and his associates, and in his denunciation he said: "In the business of subverting the liberties of a country I do not dread the soldier, nor the conspirator, nor the fool, nor the lunatic, nor the demagogue, nor the king, nor the editor, with his venom, nor Satan, with his horus, nor yet the millionaire, if they have but a fair field. The man to be dreaded in this republic is the shystering lawyer. Legal machination is the thing of danger. It is in this country especially that the people need to be on the alert against legal quibblers, where they swarm as they nowhere else on the globe, not only in the Courts, but in Legislatures and lobbies, and in every place of power. It is true there are honest lawyers; but how often, when searching amid the ruins of popular liberties, do we come upon the tracks of the false lawyer? For what oppressor has he not found a legal subterfuge? For what guilt has he not been ready to erect a legal bulwark? Do we not find him with a legal defense for any usurpation of every birthright of man, with a legal quibble over every popular franchise, with a legal gloss for every clear word of freedom, with legal petitifogery against every establishment of right, with a legal weapon for nullifying every victory of progress, with a legal jimmy to pry open every/man's safe, with legal mechanism for tearing out every stone in the fabric of justice, or for rearing every pillar in the edifice of wrong? Not a guilty deed has ever been perpetrated by power, not a base treason has ever been hatched against the commonwealth, not a device has ever been set for the subversion of any popular right, but the false lawyer has stood ready to uphold it with the armenament of false legality. He battered the way to prevent the bombardment and ruin of the city. PACIFIC CO Henry Jacobson, a luma creek on Sundown was drowned. Jacob Catoir, a dead drowned at Alameda ading.

An elderly gentle father of Katie McG daughter intended Cleary on Wednesday evening he took his comfortable bed und expected the young slept soundly the whi in the morning found For some reason or other, the county of Los Angeles furnishes a very large number of insane. Scarcely a week passes in which there are not one or two commitments to the asylum from this county; and as a matter of fact there is one deputy connected with the Sheriff's office whose time is almost wholly occupied in transporting insane people and criminals to the prison and asylum. We have no means of knowing the origin of this insane malady, because the commitments are made by the Judges of the Superior Court on the testimony of Los Angeles physicians, whose reports are seldom made public. A dispatch from Montreal says that Bishop Lafleche, of Three Rivers, Canada, has forbidden the ladies of his congregation to wear curls. The telegram is silent as to the reasons adduced by the Bishop for the issuance of his extraordinary ukase. If it is because the particular style of curls worn by the aforesaid ladies are not becoming, and detract from rather than add to their natural beauty, thereby offending the aesthetic Bishop, his prohibition has some solid sense in it; but if, as is more probable, he has forbidden the use of curls because they make the ladies more attractive, and encourage the dreadful sin of vanity, then the Bishop is a—snide, or something to that effect. The toy pistol is a very deadly institution, and its sale ought to be restricted. Indeed, the more conscientious dealers have of late refused to keep them in stock. G. F. Kanger, a storekeeper of St. Helena, is not one of that class, to his sorrow. He was expatiating upon the merits of one of these pistols to a customer when it was discharged, making a bad wound in Mr. Kanger's finger. There is a moral somewhere about this incident. UNITED STATES CONSUL-GENERAL STROTHER, in his report to the Secretary of State, thus lauds the City of Mexico: "The city is clean and orderly, having a uniform police, which is polite, vigilant and efficient, and a system of street and suburban railways which is as cheap and convenient as could be desired. Its opera houses, theaters and places of recreation compare favorably with those of other cities of its class; its medical faculty is distinguished for skill and high character, and charges for medical attendance are moderate; its schools and colleges are numerous, well conducted and appointed; while its bathing establishments are so numerous, varied and luxurious, that their description will furnish interesting material for a future report." The coroner's jury in Oakland rendered a verdict in the case of the death of the infant son of Joseph Levy. "that death was caused by hemorrhage from circumcision performed by the unskillful hand of H. Schmitz." The latter is said to have been hiding since Saturday, and no arrest has yet been made. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Rev. F. H. Robinson returned last Monday from his camping trip. Mr. John Carey has been here for a week or ten days visiting his sister, Mrs. Lawton, and others. Los Angeles doesn't seem to agree with him. Mr. Bateson is petting a black eye and other bruises. He was thrown from a buckboard between here and Anaheim. Mrs. Leffler and part of her family have gone to Laguna for a few days. Mrs. Winston who has been visiting home went also. Chas. Trunnel, who has been sick for some weeks, is better. The great social event of the week—the marriage of Mr. Robt. C. Berthwick and Miss May M. Craig, took place at the Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening. As invitations were given at the churches on last Sabbath the church was crowded. We noticed friends from Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Newport, Garden Grove and Wilmington. Everything went on pleasantly—as it should. The "I do" of both the bride and bridesgroom were distinct. We felt a little sorry for them during the long ceremony. They went to the bride's father for a few days but expect to live at Pomona for a few months, and will make Westminster their home soon. The report got abroad that there were two other weddings the same day of Westminstertea, but upon inquiry we learned that a Mr. Bonnett and Miss Mary Morris of Westminster, were married at the Catholic Church in Anaheim, but the other wedding was to be in a week or so. Mr. Sherwood has quit running the express to Los Angeles for the present. Mr. Jas. McFadden will attend to all of the business now. Mr. Sherwood is working with Wayman's thresher. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Henry Jacobson, a German, fell into Petalama creek on Sunday, while drunk, and was drowned. Jacob Catoir, a deaf and dumb boy, was drowned at Alameda on Sunday while bathing. Henry Hudson of Rio Vista was thrown out of a wagon last week. The wheels passed over his body, inflicting injuries from which he has since died. TELEGRAPH. Erie, Ill., Aug. 15th.—Farmers are feeding their hogs rye, it being cheaper than corn. Toronto, August 17.—A homing pigeon flew from Detroit to Toronto, 221 miles, in less than five hours to-day. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16th.—About 2 o'clock this morning Senator Hill was found to be rapidly sinking; his breathing was difficult. He continued to sleep, however, and a few minutes after six his death occurred without a struggle. He died from exhaustion. London, August 17.—Private telegrams received in London say the troubles in Corea have culminated in a general insurrection and the Queen and King have been assassinated. The Japanese legation was attacked by natives belonging to the anti-foreign party. A Japanese man-of-war has been dispatched to Seoul river. Brownsville, August 18.—Twenty-eight new cases of yellow fever; 25 Mexicans and three Americans. Three of the Mexicans died. Two light cases are reported at Fort Brown and at Matamoras. Seven new cases are reported, five of which are light, and four deaths are reported. Mayor Butterfield of the Matamoras & Monterey railroad, is down with the fever. The weather is cloudy, but hot. Colton, August 15th.—5:40, P.M.—The first passenger train from San Diego arrived this afternoon at 4:25, following the last rail laid at Colton. The citizens of the place turned out to greet the California Southern Railroad, and gave it a hearty welcome by taking possession of the engine and tender and giving three hearty cheers, after which Hon. John Shirly Ward was called for and made a very welcome and timely address. He was followed by Hon. John Lawshe in his usual happy strain of eloquence. By the completion of the California Southern Railroad it gives San Diego an outlet by rail to San Francisco and the East, and gives Colton another seaport shipping point. Randolph Maine, Aug. 15th.—A most deserved charge that she has attempted to blackmail Senator Jones of Nevada. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Judge French, Acting Secretary of the Treasury, finds that the new law prohibiting Chinese arriving in this country furnishes him a great deal of work in the way of making decisions interpreting the intention of Congress in connection with the law. He is continually in receipt of inquiries from collectors of various ports asking for instructions. The most interesting case of this kind came from Port Townsend, W.T., to-day. The Collector there asks what he shall do in the case where some Chinamen who had enlisted in an American port as sailors, and who having served out their term of enlistment, want to land where they enlisted. Under the provisions of the new law the Collector says it is clear that they shall not be allowed to land, but a conflict in this arises as between the new and the former law in regard to sailors under shipping agreement with the Chinamen. The Captain of the vessel bound himself to land the Chinamen at an American port. If he failed to do so he is subject to a fine under the maritime law; if he does land the Chinamen he will subject himself to a heavier fine under the new law regarding the Chinese. The Collector asks what he shall do in the matter! Judge French says these cases are the most complex that have come to him, and difficulties are arising at every port. He intends referring the matter to the next session of Congress. In the meantime he is not exactly certain what shall be done with the Chinamen in this case. CHICAGO, August 14.—A Morning News Kewance (Ill.), special says: This afternoon two men called at the First National Bank of this city and asked permission to leave a satchel there for a short time. About 6 o'clock, while Cashier Pratt and his lady assistant, Miss Palmer, were cashing up, the men knocked on the door and asked for the satchel. Miss Palmer opened the door, when one man grabbed her by the neck and kicked her nearly insensible. The other man rushed by her towards the vault, near which Pratt was standing. He struck Pratt on her head with a revolver and knocked him senseless. Pratt and Miss Palmer were then forced into the vault, and the men then secured about $20,000, of which $6000 was in gold, and walked out of town. Pratt and Miss Palmer, after work... PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Henry Jacobson, a German, fell into Peta-loma creek on Sunday, while drunk, and was drowned. Jacob Catoir, a deaf and dumb boy, was drowned at Alameda on Sunday while bathing. Henry Hudson of Rio Vista was thrown out of a wagon last week. The wheels passed over his body, inflicting injuries from which he has since died. A half-breed stole a horse in Benton, M. T., recently, and sold it near town. The next night he stole it again and returned it to the first owner. J. J. Bush has been convicted of the murder of John Ivy, whom he killed at Juhaan, San Diego county, on June 22d. The penalty was fixed by the jury at imprisonment for life. William M. Davis, a miner, was instantly killed at Bodie in the Red Cloud shaft on Tuesday evening. He fainted and fell from the cage a distance of 350 feet. His body was terribly mangled. A Yauquina City, Oregon, dispatch says: Dr. B. F. Hutchinson, a highly respected citizen, and his son, aged 13, were found murdered Tuesday. Both were shot. The murder is supposed to have been committed by an Indian for the purpose of robbery. He escaped but a party of armed men are scouring the country. If caught he will doubtless be lynched. The San Diego Sun of August 15th, notes the remarkable death of a mother and daughter within four hours of each other. The daughter—Mrs. Augusta Dunham—a widow—died first, of consumption, at the age of 45 years. The immediate cause of her death was a hemorrhage of the lungs. Her mother, Mrs. W. E. Robinson, 71 years of age, died four hours afterwards of grief or heart disease. Both were natives of Peoria, Illinois, and both were buried at the same time. It seems to be the general conviction in the southern part of the State that the Southern Pacific Railroad will be extended to San Diego at an early day. The Los Angeles papers are congratulating their southern neighbors on the strength of their prospective good luck, but there is every reason tor believing that the already prosperous county of the Angels will reap the lion's share of the benefits that will flow from the completion of such an enterprise.—S. F. Chronicle. An elderly gentleman of Benton, the father of Katie McGrory, learned that his daughter intended to elope with John Cleary on Wednesday evening. Early that evening he took his blankets and secured a comfortable bed under the buggy which he expected the young people to take.

BANGOR, Maine, Aug. 15th.—A most destructive tornado visited Bangor to night. The wind was terrific; the rain fell in sheets, accompanied by incessant thunder and lightning, and the destruction of property has been very great. ATCHISON, Kas., Aug. 26th.—A terrific thunder storm passed over the central branch of the country west of this city this morning, and extended from Corning to Irving. At Corning, John Butler and two daughters were instantly killed by lightning. The elder, aged fifteen years, was standing in the door when the bolt fell. MADISON, Wis., August 15th.—One of the most violent storms ever known here passed over the city last night and this morning. It seems to have been confined to a radius of twenty-five miles about here. A cloud burst Cross Plain, deluging the whole valley. Black Earth Creek rose with such rapidity that two freight trains were halted as a matter of precaution, and it proved a wise step, for a fifty-foot bridge was carried away just east of the station, and nine freight cars were carried into a field near by. Much damage was done to crops, but the extent of it is not fully known, though it is probably not large. WASHINGTON, August 14.—Notwithstanding all statements to the contrary it was not until to-day that Guiteau's skeleton was in shape to be viewed. Only a few persons have yet been allowed to see it. Pieces of his skin have been given by the doctors of the Army Medical Museum to their friends to be worked up into ornaments. The coffin has been cut up into small pieces. The screws of the coffin are being worn by several of the employees of the museum as souvenirs on their watch chains. In the mean time a decision of the Court has not been made as to whether Dr. Hicks is the legal custodian of the body, and whether or not he had the right to dispose of it by giving it to the museum. WASHINGTON, August 16th.—At four o'clock last evening, a handsome carriage and pair of horses stood before the Fifteenth-street entrance to the Treasury Department. Within sat a lady, elegantly attired, dignified, and with a pleasant face. On the sidewalk was a bare-headed man in his shirt sleeves, glancing from one foot to the other, waving one hand with a pen in it high in clock, while Cashier Pratt and his lady assistant, Miss Palmer, were dashing up, the men knocked on the door and asked for the satchel. Miss Palmer opened the door, when one man grabbed her by the neck and kicked her nearly insensible. The other man rushed by her towards the vault, near which Pratt was standing. He struck Pratt on she head with a revolver and knocked him senseless. Pratt and Miss Palmer were then forced into the vault, and the men then secured about $20,000, of which $6000 was in gold, and walked out of town. Pratt and Miss Palmer, after working over an hour, succeeded in breaking the combination of the lock and released themselves. Both were badly injured, but not dangerously. Parties are scouring the country in every direction, but there has been no news of the robbers up to midnight. An Iron-Clad Oath. The rooms of a sporting club in New York, which is patronized by the elite of that city, was raided by the police last week, and a number of employees and patrons were arrested. Among the property taken possession of by the police was a large-book partly filled with signatures. On the top of its first page was pasted the following agreement: I agree, in case of my admission as a member of the Parole Tart Club, that I will not disclose, or make oath to anything I may see or do in the rooms of said club; and in case I violate this promise, I declare myself a mischief-maker, a harr, and a scoundrel, and call upon all persons, judges and jurors, to discredit my statement; to consider my testimony; and me unworthy of belief. In case I hold any position in the Police Department of the city of New York, or am a spy, informer or "detective," and to obtain admission, conceal that fact, I forfeit all my rights as a member of said club, and my entrance into the rooms I declare to be a wilful and malicious trespass, for which I forfeit to said club any salary due me as such policeman; hereby assigning my claim thereof to the Parole Tart Club; and I agree to pay to said club as liquidated damages for such friend and trespass the sum of $500, including the pay due me from the city; if any, for each and every such trespass. I also resign my office or position in the Police Department; and declare the same vacant whenever I violate my pledge. The signatures to this agreement were those of the persons who bought pools in the rooms. At the meeting of the Board of Railroad Commissioners in San Francisco on Tuesday, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved That second-class passengers shall not be compelled to travel in smoking-cars. The Board then voted down the Stoneman resolution provided that the "charge for second-class passengers on railroads in this State over which second-class passengers are now being transported shall not exceed 60 per cent. of the charges for first-class passengers over the same road, for the same distances in the same direction and between the same points." The object of this resolution was to give the people living along the line of the Southern Pacific be An elderly gentleman of Benton, the father of Katie McGrory, learned that his daughter intended to elope with John Cleary on Wednesday evening. Early that evening he took his blankets and secured a comfortable bed under the buggy which he expected the young people to take. He slept soundly the whole night through and in the morning found the buggy over him safe. But the young people had taken another buggy and were quietly married in Bodie the next day. Edward Kidd, a young man working on the ranch of Charles Jenkins, near Stockton, met with a very painful accident while working on a threshing machine. By some means he lost his balance, and as he fell his loose jumper caught in the revolving shaft, drawing the lower portion of his abdomen into contact with the machinery. The young man was terribly mutilated, and he was taken to Stockton for surgical treatment. The sufferings of the wounded man were intense. Near East Molalia Cross Roads, Oregon, last Saturday David Morris, a man about fifty, David Officer and his nephew Sterling Officer, aged eighteen, were returning home from Molalia on horseback, and the conversation turned on Morris' son, who was a companion of young Officer. Morris remarked that his son was bad at heart and incorrigible. Young Morris remarked that "if this was so it is your own fault, as you managed the boy right." Sterling then dismounted to adjust his saddle girth when Morris jumped from his horse, drew a pocket knife, stepped to the boy's side and plunged the knife to the hilt in the side of his neck and drew it round to the front, producing instant death. He then mounted his horse and rode home. The Sheriff went out and arrested Morris in bed. He was lodged in Oregon City jail. WASHINGTON, August 16th. At four o'clock last evening, a handsome carriage and pair of horses stood before the Fifteenth-street entrance to the Treasury Department. Within sat a lady, elegantly attired, dignified, and with a pleasant face. On the sidewalk was a bare-headed man in his shirt sleeves, glancing from one foot to the other, waving one hand with a pen in it high in the air, and shaking his clenched fist in the face of the lady through the carriage window, while he sang out in tones audible at the Riggs House, across the way: "How dare you have the impudence to come to the Treasury with an attempt to blackmail me, you miserable creature. I have a mind to have you arrested." The male performer was Hon. Kennett Raynor of North Carolina, Solicitor of the Treasury; the lady was some person whose identity has not yet been established, but she is supposed to be one of the numerous class of lobbyists and female claim agents who beset the Treasury. Another dispatch says the lady was Mrs. Moseley, who has been extensively described by newspaper correspondents as the queen of the Washington lobby. Mrs. Moseley is a handsome Southern widow, who has had great success in getting measures through Congress and the Departments. Raynor explained matters by saying that the woman is interested in the case of a Detroit cigar manufacturer who was arrested for violating the internal revenue law. She came in his office and offered to compromise by paying $1,000 less than the fine, but Raynor refused to compromise, saying that the entire amount, about $4,000, must be paid. She then went off in a tirade against Haynor, who chased her out of the building. The same woman, he says, attempted to blackmail him. It is legal custodian of the body, and whether or not he had the right to dispose of it by giving it to the museum. Resolved, That second-class passengers shall not be compelled to travel in smoking cars. The Board then voted down the Stoneman resolution provided that the "charge for second-class passengers on railroads in this State over which second-class passengers are now being transported shall not exceed 60 per cent. of the charges for first-class passengers over the same road, for the same distances in the same direction and between the same points." The object of this resolution was to give the people living along the line of the Southern Pacific, between Los Angeles and San Francisco the advantage of a discount for second-class fares, instead of having to pay full first-class fare as they now do. Cone and Beer-stecher gave as their reason for voting against this resolution the fact that between San Francisco and Sacramento and San Francisco and Stockton the fares are less than 60 per cent. of first-class fares, and that therefore the establishment of the maximum of 60 per cent. would raise those fares. Henry Eldridge, an Englishman, committed suicide at National City, San Diego county, last week by taking cyanide of potassium. He left a will and a letter addressed to J. Currier. The letter was a unique production: Enclosed find my will, by which you may see I have made you my heir and sole legatee. I likewise enclose of the Keen place the key Which I pray you to deliver to Mr. McD.
