Lillie Hattery left her home at San Bernardino and went to Los Angeles three weeks ago. She did not inform her parents that she was going and they had no inkling of her whereabouts until several days after her departure, when they received a letter from the girl's sister who is attending the Normal school, saying that Lillie was with her.

It was claimhe used brass knuckles, and he dicted by the grand jury for to do bodily harm. Jones conthat the State authorities had jurisdiction over the alleged as it had been committed on erty ceded to the government At 11 o'clock word came to Grant and Meade that their headquarters were delaying the advance of Warren's corps, and then they decided to move on to Todd's tavern in order to clear the way. The woods were still on fire along parts of the main road, which made it almost impassable, so that the party turned out to the right into the road. The intention was to take the same route by which the cavalry had advanced, but it was difficult to tell one road from another. The night was dark and the dust was thick; the guide who was directing the party became confused, and it was uncertain whether they were going in the right direction or riding into the lines of the enemy. The guide was for a time suspected of treachery, but he was innocent of such a charge. He had only lost his bearings. Colonel Comstock rode on in advance, and hearing the sound of marching columns not far off on the right, went back with the news, and it was decided to return to the Brock road. General Grant at first demurred when it was proposed to turn back, and urged the guide to try and find some crossroad leading to the Brock road, to avoid retracing his steps. This was an instance of his aversion to turning back, which amounted almost to a superstition. He often put himself to the greatest personal inconvenience to avoid it. When he found he was not traveling in the direction he intended to take, he would try all sorts of cross-cuts, ford streams and jump any number of fences to reach another road rather than go back and take a fresh start. If he had been in the place of the famous apprentice boy who wandered away from London, he would never have been thrice mayor of that city, for with him Bow Bells would have appealed to deaf ears when they chimed out, "Turn again, Whittington." The enemy who encountered him never failed to feel found her lying on a slab at the morgue. Lillie Hattery left her home at San Bernardino and went to Los Angeles three weeks ago. She did not inform her parents that she was going and they had no inkling of her whereabouts until several days after her departure, when they received a letter from the girl's sister who is attending the Normal school, saying that Lillie was with her. A week ago Thursday Lillie left her sister's boarding-house, after the latter had gone to school. A little later the landlady answered the door in response to a ring, and found a boy with a note addressed to her. Inside the note was one addressed to the girl's sister. This note was received by her upon her return from school, and contained the information that Lillie had been hurt. That was all; there was no address and no clew as to where she might be found. The sister apprised her parents of what she had learned, and Hattery came to the city and, assisted by the police, began a thorough search for his missing daughter. Her photograph was exhibited to the various watches at police headquarters and a description of the girl was read to the officers. A round of the sanitariums was made and it was learned that a young woman answering the missing one's description had applied for admission at several places, saying she wished to have a criminal operation performed. At every one of the places she visited she was informed that she could not be accommodated. Finally she sought admission to a place conducted by Dr. C.S.Hastings, who says he is a medical electrician. His place is on the first floor of No.108 North Spring street. That was two weeks ago to-day. The girl never left the place alive. At 7:30 o'clock last Friday night her body was borne from the place by the undertaker. As Gen. Weyler was marching with his column just before entering Santa Clara a few days ago, according to a dispatch from Key West, his horse was shot from under him by a Cuban sharpshooter. It is supposed the shot came from a distant hillside. Throughout the march from Rodas, the captain-general was assailed by missiles of this kind, and several times barely escaped being wounded. He is greatly worried over it, and large scouting parties preceded the advance Spanish columns to capture the daring marauders. A Spanish force of 5000 was ambushed last Wednesday night near Nazarene, just west of Santa Clara, where Gen. Weyler was then, and narrowly escaped annihilation. An accident occurred in Caliente on Sunday in which John Hardesty, 32 years of age, who recently came from Newport, N.C., and Miss Cora Akens of Fresno, were instantly killed, being run over by a light engine while crossing a treetle. Hardy found her lying on a slab at the morgue. Lillie Hattery left her home at San Bernardino and went to Los Angeles three weeks ago.

The enemy who encountered him never failed to feel the effect of this inborn prejudice against turning back. However, a slight retrogade movement became absolutely necessary in the present instance, and the General yielded to the force of circumstances. An orderly was stationed at the fork of the road to indicate the right direction to Warren's troops when they should reach the point, and Grant's party proceeded to Todd's tavern, reaching there soon after midnight. It was learned afterward that Anderson's (Longstreet's) corps had been marching parallel with the party, and at a distance of less than a mile, so that the apprehension felt was well founded. When ex-Priest Joseph Slattery concluded his lecture in Philadelphia Sunday evening and appeared at the door to take his carriage to his hotel a mob gathered. Two policemen got in the carriage with Slattery and his wife and drove off. The crowd at the hall was held in check by the police, but parties of men and boys, armed with stones and bricks, were lying in wait in the alleys along Bridge street. As the carriage passed these points volleys of stones greeted it. Policeman Clements was cut over the right eye, Policeman Doris was slightly cut and Slattery had a similar injury. The party reached the hotel safely, but the carriage was badly wrecked. J. L. Hattery, a prominent citizen of San Bernardino, came to Los Angeles one day last week in search of his daughter Lillie.

SNAPSHOTS AT THE NEWS. Secretary of State Brown has had the kindness to forward us a copy of the report giving a detailed statement of the vote of California at the November election. It gives in convenient tabular form the vote for president elect, congressman, state senator, assemblymen and the amendments. John Giesen a St. Louis, Mo., laborer took a horse away from a crowd of boys who were driving it round in the snow and drove it to his house, where he killed it for food. Giesen was out of work, and his wife and four children were starving to death. He told the policeman when arrested that he and his family had eaten nothing for three days. They had eaten no meat for months. Marilla M. Ricker, a well known roman lawyer of Washington, who has been conspicuous in politics in California, is a candidate for the office of Minister to Colombia, which position is now filled by Luther McInney of Manchester, N. H. Her petition has already been sent to the president-elect. She is the first woman who has ever aspired to as high an Ambassador of the United States. There are already in the field twoASCULINE candidates for the honor. Ricker has done political work California and other States. The Nevada Supreme Court has decided that the State courts have jurisdiction over offenses committed on government property. A few weeks ago United States District Attorney Jones assaulted theitor of the Appeal while on the stoffice steps. It was claimed that used brass knuckles, and he was injured by the grand jury for assault do bodily harm. Jones contended at the State authorities had no jurisdiction over the alleged crime, it had been committed on property ceded to the government by the young Dougherty called for water and drank two quarts without stopping. Several physicians who investigated the case declare that they found unmistakable proof that the boy was either dead or in a trance or hypnotic sleep. Young Dougherty was fond of singing and the doctors say that the singing of the mourners had a soothing effect on his nerves and caused him to awaken. Congressman C. J. Boatner of Louisiana says that one hundred thousand people are destitute in the northwestern part of his State, owing to bad crops. The people need seeds to plant their crops, and have asked him whether he could not get Congress to appropriate something for seed. "I shall not ask Congress to appropriate anything for seeds," said he, "because I feel sure that President Cleveland would veto any bill of that nature. He vetoed a bill of a similar kind for the sufferers in Texas some years ago." Many Congressmen besides Boatner are sending seeds to the Louisiana farmers. F. W. Hinckley, husband of Florence Blythe-Hinckley, the successful litigant in the famous will contest for Thomas Blythe's millions, died at 2:05 o'clock on Saturday morning at Portland, the result of appendicitis and its attending necessary operation. His wife was in San Francisco and was notified by wire. Hinckley arrived in Portland on Friday from Salt Lake, accompanied by his brother. The two were on a combined business and pleasure trip to Salt Lake and intended afterward making a tour of the Northwest, and when Hinckey left some two weeks ago he was apparently in the best of health. A strange story of the killing of children by snakes while sleeping comes from Kansas. A farmer named John Hastler, who has a large family, had been four times bereaved within the last six weeks from some hitherto inexplicable events at the age of 40 and upward, and leap year had passed without any proposals from the fair damsels in the vicinity. The future staring them in the face of never being able to gain the affections of the fair sex, they took this method of presenting themselves for inspection, in the hope of inducing some of the fair ones to enter into life contracts with them. How well they succeeded remains to be seen, but from reports at least one has accomplished the desired end, and in near future will become a Benedick. Thirty thousand people in Louisiana, according to recent dispatches, are practically starving to death. A relief committee which has inspected the stricken parishes near Shreveport says this number of people will have to be sustained during the unfruitful season. The State has already expended $85,000 for corn and provisions for the sufferers, and calls for funds. A meeting was held at Shreveport, La., under the call of the board of trade and $5000 was subscribed. John Kelly, a morphine fiend, received tidings at Tacoma that his mother had died in San Francisco, leaving him $2,000. The news came in a letter to the sheriff from Kelly's sister. She expressed the intention of sending for the dissipated wreck who had just been released from the county jail. When informed of the money left him, Kelley said: "When I get to San Francisco I am going to buy $1,000 of room rent and $1,000 worth of morphine and live perfectly happy till I die." Five years ago Kelly was left $60,000 by a relative. He started out to spend it and in six months it was gone. Representatives of the sugar growing interests are making an effort to secure from Congress an appropriation of $1,048,000 to settle the balance of the bounties which they claim is due them under the act The Nevada Supreme Court has decided that the State courts have jurisdiction over offenses committed on government property. A few weeks ago United States District Attorney Jones assaulted the director of the Appeal while on the stetoffice stops. It was claimed that used brass knuckles, and he was inited by the grand jury for assault do bodily harm. Jones contended that the State authorities had no jurisdiction over the alleged crime, it had been committed on property ceded to the government by the state. The lower court decided not insist him, but the Supreme Court holds that persons charged with one committed on government property can be tried only by the federal courts. The Supreme Court of California handed down no decision on the deal of Theodore Durrant, found guilty of the murder of Blanche Latt, twenty-one months ago. It is understood that the appeal has not been considered by the Supremeices, but many attorneys believe injustices will grant Durrant a new trial. So many important civil cases proceeded over the Durrant that it is said a decision will not be handed down before the end of year. In an interview Durrant stressed his sympathy with murder Butler, "because the news are hounding him," as he Durrant expresses his belief Butler's innocence. The first baby ever born to an infant of the Highland insane asylum given life by Mrs. O. L. Fleck one morning last week, the court having been committed to asylum from Colton the day before. It was a nine-pound girl and child and mother are doing under their peculiar environments. The mother's mania was a habit to injure herself and others, the excuse is made that for her well as that of her husband, is an invalid, it was thought to secure her commitment. The is an unusual one and may lead investigation. The doctors at asylum will express no opinion, is evident that they think it strange that a commitment was under the circumstances. Robert S. Crofton, Sevena Infantry, has been arbitrarily led by order of the President. He been the desire of the War department that this officer should active service, and efforts had made during the last two years in this end, first through intention to friends of Col. Crofton his retirement would be granted obliteration for, and this failing, such that law which obliges an officer to retire if found physically or service by a medical body. Course was adopted about nine years ago, but without success, the ending the officer in good conspicuity. Finally recoures ad to the law which permits resident to remove an officer briefly when he shall have reach-years of age. Col. Crofton this milestone last month and A strange story of the killing of children by snakes while sleeping comes from Kansas. A farmer named John Hastler, who has a large family, had been four times bereaved within the last six weeks from some hitherto inexplicable cause. First his 3-month-old daughter was taken suddenly ill in the night and died in convulsions the next day. The next victim of the strange malady was a son. The following week a daughter died, and within three days another daughter was taken. The family was crazed with grief and fear lest other members should be taken. Hastler and some neighbors set about making investigations to ascertain if possible the reason for the numerous deaths in the family. One peculiar feature noted in each case was that the sickness came upon the victims at night. The men took up part of the floor and while investigating underneath came upon a nest of snakes of a variety known as blow snakes, whose breath is said to be a deadly poison. Seven large snakes were killed which averaged seven and a half feet in length. There is little doubt that the snakes were the cause of the deaths. It is supposed that the snakes crawled up through a hole in the floor at night, attracted by the warmth, and breathed their noxious breath upon the sleepers. Mrs. Etta Butler of Napa is not the wife of the Australian murderer captured in San Francisco last week, at least she says she doesn't think she is. The deserted Mrs. Butler came to the city, in company of her uncle and a Solano county officer to see the man she thought to be her husband. After listening to the lady's tale Captain Lees ordered the prisoner to be brought up from the prison. When he confronted the lady supposed to be his wife Butler gazed at her as one stranger gazes at another, and she acted in the same way. There was no sign of recognition in either which would indicate that they had met before. After Butler was out of hearing Lees turned to Mrs. Butler, and asked: "Is that your husband?" "I don't think it is," was the equivocal response. "Are you not certain?" asked the chief of detectives. "Well, I am quite certain it is not he. I have not met him for three years, but I feel sure I would know him if I were to see him." Butler, on the other hand, was more decided, for after looking the lady over, he remarked to Sergeant Colby: "That lady is not my wife, but I wouldn't mind being her husband; she is a fine-looking lady." A funeral and wedding in the same family and the same clergyman officiating and was notified by wire. Hinckley arrived in Portland on Friday from Salt Lake, accompanied by his brother.

Mrs. Charlotte Franklin died at the county hospital from consumption, after being an inmate of the institution for six months. Her relatives were notified, and a sister, Miss Anna R. McManus of Oakdale, came to Modesto the day after the death, accompanied by her prospective husband, H. H. Hays of Oakdale. They arranged that the funeral should be held at the expense of the county, and then proceeded to notify the resident Presbyterian minister that they would come to the parsonage at a designated hour to be married. In the meantime preparations for the funeral were carried on, and the presence of a clergyman at the grave being desired, the undertaker requested the services of the Rev. Mr. Hayes. "I have a couple to marry at that hour," responded the minister; but a few words of explanation developed the fact that the bride-to-be was the sister of the dead woman. The clergyman thereupon concluded that the wedding could wait, and proceeded to the cemetery. The service was brief, and the wasted form in the cheap coffin was soon consigned to mother earth. A little later the mourners stood before the same clergyman at the parsonage and were united in marriage. The bride is a mere girl, but 16 years of age, while the groom gave his age at 35. Three confirmed bachelors of Clayton, Mich.-Dr. C. Ellis, B. R. Kessler and A. A. Fox—gave a remarkable reception in the Kessler Opera-house Saturday night to 200 guests from Clayton and surrounding towns. The three bachelors had poses of State taxation is determined by a decision handed down by the Supreme Court to the effect that such stock is exempt from taxation. The decision is of great interest, as there are many national banks in the State, while their capital stock is widely distributed. The decision is the result of a suit brought in Modesto to deter the tax collector of Stanislaus county from collecting taxes levied on shares of the First National Bank of Modesto, which has a paid-up capital stock of $100,000. The Superior Court decided in the tax collector's favor. The Supreme Court reverses the judgment of the lower court upon the ground that the taxation of the capital stock of national banks is not subject to State taxation, for section 3608 of the Political Code expressly so states, and that section was held constitutional in the case of the people ex rel. Burke vs. Badlam, assessor (57 Cal., 594.) This section and the decision hold that the property of the corporation, is assessed to the corporation, and an assessment of the shares of stock would be double taxation. Addison Cammack surprised Wall street by selling his seat in the Stock Exchange to Henry J. Ditman, the price being $25,000. In spite of the $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 Cammack amassed in the street, he is now practically a poor man. His money is said to have been invested in real estate held by his wife, who opposed his continuing in the street. The last two or three years Cammack is said to have lost nearly all the ready money in his possession. Mrs. Cammack refused to advance money for further speculation. She argued her husband's fortune was ample and there was no use risking it in the hope of making more money. Mrs. Cammack was Miss Hildreth of Washington and married Cammack twelve years ago. At the time he settled $1,000,000 on her and since then has given her three or four times as much. Mrs. Cammack is 31 years of age and her husband 71. Cammack was blockade runner during the war. As a speculator he soon made a national reputation. He engineered the collapse of the Northern Pacific in 1884. Lately he has had ill luck.
