Two Minnesota legislature has passed a high-litness liquor law; the license being fixed at $600 a year. The idea of high-litness liquor to be steadily gaining ground.
Frank James, the Missouri gentleman who has been draping (under bail) under a charge of being a murderer and robber, has had a trial and been acquitted. The officers who arrested him may consider themselves lucky if they do not find themselves defendants in a suit for defamation of character.
Ottawa will be issued at Mare Island to take effect March 1st, compelling the residents of the yard to pay for the gas consumed in lighting up their residences. Herefore all the gas supplied to the different homes has been paid for by the Government. Is this the beginning of Democratic economy?
Seuz degree of intelligence is necessary even in a hangman. The stupidity of the English executioner, as detailed in another column, resulted in a most horrible scaffold scene. But the terrible ordeal through which the criminal passed ought to secure for him a commutation of the death sentence, and probably will.
Tax Chinese Government intends making the expulsion of Chinese from Eureka, Cal., an international matter, and will claim indemnity from the United States. The same threat was made in October, 1871, when nineteen Chinamen were hanged by a mob in Los Angeles for rioting and killing a special constable, but the threat was never carried into execution.
Two delicate dudes of Dublin, Ga., had an orange-eating match the other day. It was a drawn battle, each resiring after having absorbed the contents of sixteen. We hope this new craze will be fostered. It is in the interest of over-burdened trees of Los Angeles county. If the mania for orange-eating-matches should become epidemic, there would be an advance on the market price of that fruit.
Midday Battle in a Mounting Gun.
Gaxverson, Feb. 22—Nothing except mugge details of the killing of United States Mandal Hai Godling were recorded until too late to be available last night. The New' San Antonio special gives the following details of the tragedy: Marital Gaming, accompanied by two of his trusted deputies, J. P. Mannung and J. L. Loving, were conveying two United States prisoners from Austin to San Antonio for safekeeping. The prisoners were James Pitts and Charles Yenger, who have won considerable notoriety in Lampannes and Barnet counties as highwaymen and postoffice robbers. The officers and their prisoners occupied seats in the smoking car on opposite sides of the coach. The prisoners were securely handcuffed together. They were escorted by Mrs. K. A. Drown, grandmother of Pitta, and Miss Rea Yeager, a sister of one of the prisoners.
The women occupied seats immediately in front of the prisoners, who in turn were escorted by four men, occupying seats removed from them. The smoking car was well filled with passengers. The train pulled out of Senmaries, and two men left the smoker, carrying with them a leather valise into the second-class coach adjoining. After a short absence they returned to the smoker, and occupied the same seats immediately in front of the prisoners. This maneuver attracted the attention of Marshal Goaling and his deputies, who eyed the prisoners closely until they became satisfied that all was well. The prisoners and women were quite affectionate in their demonstrations, but no more so than they had been before the maneuver mentioned. The first intimation that anything wrong was going on was the sharp report of a pistol. This was followed by the rapid discharge of shots, which filled the coach with a dense smoke, in the rifts of which the prisoners were noticed to be moving toward opposite sides of seats occupied by Goaling and his deputies. The first shot evidently missed the Marshal. He was in the act of drawing his pistol, and while rising to his feet a second shot rent the air and simultaneously with the crack of the gun the gallant Marshal fell forward with his head into the sile and his weapon drawn, pinioning Deputy Manning for a time to his seat. Before the deputy could free himself from the body of his chief, he received a ball in the neck and one in the shoulder. Clearing the seats, Manning took a position in front of the door, to prevent the escape of the prisoners by that exit. After he had freed himself in his helmet deliberately.

The belligerant Burnaby allowed his combativeness to overcome his judgment, it now appears. This gallant English colonel, who was accounted one of the bravest, strongest and most efficient soldiers in the English army, joined the troops in the Soudan for the pure love of fighting, as he had given up his army commission. But he took command of a cavalry corps, gave them an injudicious order to advance and fight, with the result that he himself was alain together with a large number of men.
The Exposition management makes this announcement: "The installations being now substantially complete, the park, its grounds, buildings, attractions and conveniences in good order, the exhibits all that have been promised to the public, and pleasant spring weather having succeeded the rainy season, the management now appeal to the press of the country to lend the enterprise their aid for its success, that the honor of the nation and the interests of the exhibitors may be protected, and the educational value of the Exposition be secured to the people by an increased attendance during the remainder of the season."
Irrigation measures go on swimmingly in the Assembly. The bill providing for the discovery and adjudication of water rights and claims passed the Assembly by a vote of 53 to 10. The bill providing for the organization and control of water and irrigation districts was passed by a vote of 51 to 11. The constitutional amendment which is part of the irrigation legislation was passed by a vote of 56 to 13. The gist of these bills was published in the GAZETTE some weeks ago. But it is barely possible that the bills will be wrecked in the Senate, in which body the riparian proprietors have some conspicuously able advocates, and they may, by parliamentary methods of obstruction, defeat all irrigation legislation. The pay of the Legislature stops in a few days, and it may adjourn.
It took nearly a column of the daily papers on last Sunday morning to describe the fires which occurred throughout the United States on the day previous. Fires are increasing; arson is getting to be quite a common crime, especially in the larger cities where criminals congregate and where unemployed men are made reckless by want. Of the fires on last Saturday; one in Philadelphia resulted in the loss of five lives; in bygling and his deputies. The first shot evidently missed the Marshal. He was in the act of drawing his pistol, and while rising to his feet a second shot rent the air and simultaneously with the crack of the gun the gallant Marshal fell forward with his head into the silee and his weapon drawn, pinioning Deputy Manning for a time to his seat. Before the deputy could free himself from the body of his chief, he received a ball in the neck and one in the shoulder. Clearing the seats, Manning took a position in front of the door, to prevent the escape of the prisoners by that exit. After he had fired every shot in his pistol, he deliberately drew a pencil and began to remove the exploded shells from his six-shooter while the prisoners were peppering away at him. Deputy Loving having backed to the rear door of the car, firing whenever a glimpse of the prisoners was to be had through the smoke. The prisoners rushed to the rear, forcing Loving to the platform of the sleeper, where the deputy fired his last shot as the desperadoes jumped from the train. The train was in full motion. As they struck the ground Colonel Mayfield, of Helena, Carnes county, who was in the rear end of the first-class coach, fired a well-directed shot at the prisoners, as did conductor George A. Fowler, who was attracted by the smoke to the firing. The prisoners made off in a northerly direction up a lane four miles north of New Braunfels. Pitts is presumed to be wounded, as Yeager was almost dragging him when they were last seen in the lane. The train, after a delay of three of four seconds, was stopped. All was confusion, and the coach was filled with the stench of blood and powder fumes. Investigation revealed that Marshall Goaling was dead, lying on his face on the seat occupied by him before the firing. The fatal ball took effect in the rear of his head, burying itself in the brain just back of the forehead. Mrs. E. F. A. Drown, the grandmother of Pitts, was lying near the dead Marshal, shot in the stomach, and was in great agony. Miss Rose Yeager, sister of the prisoner, was found in an unconscious state in the seat recently occupied by the prisoners, shot through the leg below the knee. Deputy Marshal Manning was powder-burnt in the face, and shot in the neck and shoulder. Two shots had gone through the first-class coach, one of which grazed the head of a lady, who was thrown into a swoo. The rear of the smoker was riddled with bullets. The train was stopped within 400 yards of the lane through which the prisoners were fleeing. The Deputy Marshals had reloaded their six-shooters by this time. Loving was called to assistance of Conductor Fowler, who had four men mentioned above under arrest, while Manning started in pursuit of the desperadoes. His strength, however, failed him from loss of blood, and he was taken aboard the train, which pulled out for New Braunfels, where the wounded women and the four prisoners were disembarked and lodged in jail. The remains of Marshall Goaling accompanied by Deputy Manning, were taken to San Antonio. The wounds of Manning are serious, but not necessarily fatal. Possess left Austin and San Antonio for the scene of the tragedy, to aid in capture of the desperadoes, while Deputy Loving organized a party at New Braunfels last night, and instantly started in pursuit. He found the dead body of Pitts a short distance up the lane from the scene of the tragedy, and came upon Yeager sight miles distant, who gave a fight, and pierced by three balls fired by the posee, and disabled. He was taken to New Braunfels, where he died. The four bygling and his deputies. The first shot evidently missed the Marshal.

It took nearly a column of the daily papers on last Sunday morning to describe the fires which occurred throughout the United States on the day previous. Fires are increasing; arson is getting to be quite a common crime, especially in the larger cities where criminals congregate and where unemployed men are made rockless by want. Of the fires on last Saturday; one in Philadelphia resulted in the loss of five lives; in New York six persons were burned to death; in Charlotte, N.C., one life was lost; at Raleigh in the same State, three negro children were roasted. The other fires at which only property was destroyed were at Chappaqua, N.Y., New Britain, Conn., Baton Rouge, La., Fort Worth, Texas, and Taxarkana, Ark.
A rather curious will was filed by a New York dentist recently, in which he bequeathed his property to his family and some good advice to the world in general. A considerable portion of the will is a treatise on consumption. He introduces the subject by saying that in 1838 his life was preserved by the free inhalation of pure, fresh air, after which time, in deep gratitude to God, he made the subject of "correct breathing of common air" a study. He had been impressed by observing the result of a sigh on the interior mechanism, the normal action of the organs being reversed thereby and everything being disarranged, while full, deep breathing led to a healthy development of all these organs. He came to the belief that by the adoption of the mode of breathing referred to, tubercular disease and all pulmonary consumption could be forever annihilated. He closes the treatise with the exclamation, "God hasten the day!"
A Dusset, Vt., lady, aged eighteen, was bitten in the thumb last summer by a pet kitten. The bite was painful for some time, but finally healed and remained so until a few days since, when it began to be painful, and has now thrown the lady into brain fever and her life is despaired of. Physicians say that the poison from the cat bite gathered into a penne and grew fast to a nerve, causing a nervous overthrow and derangement of the brain.
An Arizona Epilepsy
Tucson (A. T.), Feb. 21.—Prescott comes to the front with another sensational epilepsy. Yesterday Mrs. Yates, the young and beautiful wife of Charles Yates, a well-known citizen, took the stage for Ash Fork, ostensibly to visit friends in San Francisco. On the same stage one Saunders, a professional piano-player, started on an Eastern trip for Ash Fork, on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Mrs. Yates took the eastbound train, in charge of the pianist, and word was telegrammed to her husband, who directed an officer to board the train and relieve Mrs. Yates of $600 of his money. This, however, left the pair with $350, with which they pursued their journey, leaving their baggage at Ash Fork.
W. S. Reid was arrested at Tucson on Thursday on a charge of presenting for payment false Alabama claims, with intent to defraud the United States. It is assumed that two prominent public men of California are implicated in the transaction.
Fruit in New York
New York, Feb. 21.—Strawberries from the South made their first appearance about a month ago. Southern steamships now bring from twenty to thirty crates every trip. The prices asked for the first lot received were $2 50 to $3 per quart. The fruit carefully selected, is now worth $1 50 per quart, small inferior berries $4 per quart. California pearls of "East Sea" variety, which have been preserved since last fall, sell for $1 to $9 per dozen. Owing to heavy shipments from the Columbia river, Oregon salmon, that last year brought forty cents a pound, can he had no for twenty-five and thirty cents.
The liquor dealers of Rome, Ga., says that Savannah News are preparing to "hear" a large number of men who national drink to excess, thus injuring themselves and not benefiting the salons. When this list is fully made out every saloon-house will forget $50 if he ever calls to a town from a source not to be questioned for our moment that Cleveland has positively acquired on five members and all of them have given in their formal acceptances. They are the names and places they are to fill Bayard, Secretary of State; Manning, Secretary of the Treasury; Lamar, Secretary of the Interior; Garland, Attorney-General. This leaves War and Navy portfolios to be filled. E is now disposed to appoint Whitney to the Navy. If he had to send in his Cabinet today he would no doubt do so. Of course this means two men from New York. That is worrying him a good deal. He wants Whitney, and has about decided to ignore custom and precedent and voluntarily incur much inevitable criticism of a hostile character for the sake of having a man in the Navy Department whom he understands and who understands him. It need not be surprising if he does so anyhow, in fact it probable that he will. As to the War Department, he is halting between two men Judge Endicott and Hon. Patrick A. Collins of Massachusetts, with chances in favor of the former. One of these is sure to be appointed and will go in as the representative of New England.
The chances to-day are clear that he will appoint Judge Endicott, who will be remanded as the Democratic nominee for Governor in Massachusetts last year.

American Quarter Chance Court.
Carson Feb. Bk.—Tuesday. In the County Court an application was made by Dong Tong a Chinese patent printer resident in this city for the privilege of adopting Philly Brown a white child four months old now in custody of the Foundlingf Home Judge Pendergast announced his ruling on the application to day. He said that so far as he could learn this was the first instance of the kind and he had therefore no precedent to guide him. He was initiated from the evidence presented that Dong Tong and his wife were reputable people. The question with the Court was the welfare of the child and not even the consent of its mother could put that question aside. The child was born under one civilization and could not owing to its infancy,assess or object to adoption into another civilization. Ought not that fact to act as a bar to adoption? The Court must not alone consider whether the child would be cared for in the ordinary acceptance of the term,that is,clothing and food,but whether he would be given a Christian education. That this would or could be done did not appear in evidence before the Court. These petitioners could not under the law become citizens. There was nothing to prevent them from returning to the land of their birth,and if this adoption were consented to by the court no earthly power could prevent them from taking the child with them to China,where he would grow up under another civilization. The customs and religion of China were right and proper enough for children born there,but it was not to be supposed that this child,when it should reach the years of discretion,would go there of its own free will. On the other hand,if the parents by adoption remain in this country the child as it grew up would be subjected to prejudice,aversion and insult on account of its adopted relations,and its was not improbable that these things would engender a repugnance on its part toward its adopted parents as it grew up. The petition was denied,but the court stated that an order would not be entered until the petitioners had further opportunity to submit testimony.
What adds force to this opinion is the fact that Dong Tong and his wife are living in a quite respectable sort of a way,having neatly furnished rooms on the second floor,and that the husband is doing a very good business in the practice of his profession having painted portraits of a number of prominent people.

Temperance Agitation in Georgia.
Atlanta, Feb. 23.—The temperance agitation is very strong throughout the State. Rev. McDonald, pastor of the second Baptist Church, in which Senator Joseph E. Brown is a prominent worshipper, has stirred up the workingmen by an uncomplimentary reference to them in his sermon. He said that "while the young men of his congregation would not drink whisky and beer as mechanics and roughs did, yet they would get behind the screen and drink fine wine." A number of mechanics who were present took offense. Forty-nine per cent of the population of Atlanta, according to the census, are actually engaged in productive pursuits; so it may be seen that quite a large proportion of the population is brought under this complimentary assertion.
At Athens the city has been thrown into consternation by threats of dynamite being used if local option is adopted. The effort to vote out whisky has attracted wide attention. The canvass has been prolonged and bitter, and will close on Wednesday. Letters have been sent to various leaders of the prohibition movement in which it is threatened that dynamite will be freely used if prohibition wins. The Banner this morning says: "We dety the threat, and will carry the county for prohibition, if Athens blazes as high as the sky."
A Horrible Discovery.
Chicago, Feb. 24.—A telegram from Evansville, Ind., says: Intense excitement was caused here to day by the discovery that an old building, which for a number of years was used by the medical fraternity as a college and public dispensary, but which had been recently abandoned, had been used by ghoulus. In a yard at the, rear of the building portions of female bodies were discovered scattered around promiscuously. On entering the building five tables were found covered with blood and hair. One had evidently been used recently. Parts of human bodies were scattered over the floor. In one corner was a common coffin, which had certainly never been placed in the ground, but had probably been taken there by an undertaker instead of being buried. The most horrible sight was in the garret, which seemed to have been the place of deposit for remains of the subjects after they served the purpose for which they had been procured. Scattered about on the floor were the remains of forty-five human beings, both white and black, male and females. In numerous cases the ghoulus had failed to blind.

A Fiery Female
Cannano, Feb. 32d.—The dynamite section
of the Socialists held a meeting this afternoon in a hall very near the heart of the fashionable portion of the south division of this city. A number of highly incendiary speeches in English and German were delivered by A. R. Parcena, his wife, George Mitzinger, August Fehling and others. Mrs. Parsons made an unusually fiery speech. She began by berating her hearers as cowards, and unworthy of the name of manhood, because they allowed the aggressions of capital to continue, allowed their daughters to barter their virtue for breed. If they were men, as they claimed to be, she said they would blow up every house on the adjoining avenue before they would submit to it, would demolish the police stations, courthouse and jail, and fling'dynamite into the faces of the army and navy. If they were afraid to do this, however, they used not lack for a captain, for she would fill her egros with dynamite and lead them along the avenue of the city where the rich reside destroying as they went. Her husband advanced her hearers to study chemistry, and take lessons from these expert in the manufacture of deadly explosives.

I began it it this way: "Sudden still night air rang the shrill cry at the same moment the little list of flame whose light play along edge had caught the eye of the watcher, leaped forth, no longer fierce and angry in its thirst and glowing, snaky demons, the lunette twined the doomed building; his eyes and spurs the flame shattering darkness while from door poured forth a detour smoke, the deadly suffocation an imprisoned fiend."
"I went on in that style for column," said the reporter, "and showed up in the paper this month Sheeny's grocery was destroyed night. Loss $250; uninsured."
