FEARFUL RIDE AND DEATH.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Tuolumne Courier, printed at Co
lumbia. of Saturday, Sept. l9th:
John Rules, Of Springfield, came TO his death
in terrible manHer, on Sunday evening last,
near Columbia. Having been indulgng rather
freely, and being rather noisey, friend volun-
teered to see him home. After some trouble he
was mounted upon his friends horse, aud, for
greater security, his legs were tied together un-
der the horse's belly. The party then set out
for Springfield, Rules companion leading the
horse. When uear the lower end of Broadway
the animal became restive, reared and fell back
on his rider, but Immediately sprang up and
galloped away like the wind. AS the horse got
to bis feet. the saddle turned with Rules, aud
being fastened TO the beast at every bound his
head dashed against the ground. This Mazep-
pa-like ride was checked at Braces lumber
yard, upwards of quarter Of mile from the
starting point Rules was taken from the horse
dead and horribly mangled. His arm was bro
ken in several places, and bis brains mingled
with the dust of the road. Rules was native
of England. and leaves a wife in Springfield, to
whom he Was lately welded.

SANDWICH IsLANDs.-By the arrival of the
Fanny Major from Honolulu we have received
files Of the POlynssian to August 2sth. The news
is of little Importance. The epidemic which
had been prevailing on the Islands was fast
disappearing. The annexed account of an
earthquake will be found of interest:
On the goth of July, Hilo was shaken by an
earthquake of considerable power. On the 30th
of the same month the crater of Mokuaweoweo
on the top of Maunaloa, proke into activity and
still continues to give evidences of great sub
terranean commotion.
In regard to the shock on the 30th of July,
Mr.. William F. Conway writes: "A few min
utes past O'Clock, this morning. the people of
Hilo and of the surrounding districts were sud-
denly aroused from their usual quiet slumber
by very heavy quake of the earth. which last
ed for several seconds and was felt more seve-
rely than any we have had on this side Of the
island for number of years past: during my
residence on the island of nearly five years
have not experienced its equal. No damage,
however, was doue, though it created little
fright to those who had not previously expert
enced the effects of heavy shock The undul-
alton of the earth was from west to east. You
can tell our neighbors on the other islands not
to feel alarmed for our safety; for we say here.

THE ORovnLE ARSON CAsE.-The Butte Record
of Wednesday, gives the following account of
the evidence against Kelly, charged with origi-
mating the fire. an account of which will be
found Oh our FIRST pages
After having taken the case of Michael Kelly
under advlsement, Justice Berry committed the
defendant to appear before the Grand Jury GU
charge OF arson. The clreumstanc al evidence
which led to Kely's arrest and confinement. is
substantially as follows: Gu the night OF the
fire, Kelly aud his friend Wech entered drink
ing saloon keptby Robt Connery, aid after TAX
ing drink or Two. Kelley asked the privilege
OF singing song, which Connery objected to,
saying that il was late and people were sleeping
in the neighborhood, aud moreover that it was
time to go to bed. Kelly manifested some dis
satisfaction at not being allowed to sing but eX-
pressed his willingness to retire, which be Id
after obtaining some matches of Connery. On
going out the door, he remarked to COnuery in
the presence of two or three witnesses, that he
was about leaving this town for Sacramento.
adding. Look out for fire to night, Bob -
From Connery's house he was seen to go toward
that portion of Coleman's house iu which the
fire originated, and i'll about fifteen minutes af-
ter going there, the flames burst out. Witness
es for the defense testified that they met Kelly
in town just after the fire broke out, but the
Court thought that even this was not sufficient
to establish an abb. as he might have had am
pie time to come TO town after having set the
fire. With these strong cireumstantial evden-
ces. We conceive that Justice Berry could not
do otherwise than commit the defendant for
trial before higher Court.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION BY A CRAZY Wo-
AAM-At an early hour OF yesterday morning,
q Mexican woman, named Marie Gomez went
10 the house OF another, named Francisco Costa
and after making the usual saiutatons Marie
produced stiletto aud signified her intention
OF killing Francisco. alleging as a reason that
she had been instrumental in getting her hus-
band to leave her. Francisco saw that the 9th
eF was ia earnest and ran into the street shout
ing for help. Marie followed with the upIiftcd
knife, and succeeded in inhcting several severe
wounds upon the person of Francisco. The
wounds are five or six in number. but only one
in the back is considered dangerous. 1t appears
that Marie's husband recently deserted her, and
it is stated that she has for a long time been
subject to fits of insanity, but no suspicion Of
the dangerous character Of her malady was en-
tertained by her friends. 1t appears Marie aud
Francisco had been on the best ofterms. Fran
cisca is past forty years of age, while Marie is
but little more than twenty. They lived near
each other on a small thoroughfare running
from Pine to Bush street. west of Sansomc
street. Marie was arrested and taken 10 shs
police stations. F. 1ie1e.
