A FAMILY DIFFIcULTY LEADS TO TIrE
DEATH OF A MAN.-Last night, between
7 and 8 o'clock, John Still, proprietor
of n liquor saloon on Stewart street,
between Mission and Howard, was
shot by Joshua L. Jones, the husband
of his stepdaughter. Jones and Still
were at one time engaged In the busi-
ness of pile-drivlng, but recently dis
solved partnership, and Still engaged
in the liquor business. Yesterday
afternoon Jones and Mrs. Still, his
mother-in-law, had a few words, when
she went after her husband, who In a
short time arrived at his residence, on
the corner of Howard and Stewart
streets, where he met Jones and had
some words with him, when the latter
drew pistol from his. pocket and fired
at Still, the ball took effect In the abb
domen, producing 3 wound which re.
suited In his death about an hour aud
a quarter after he was shot. Shortly
after the shooting Jones surrendered
himself to officer Hans Lorentzen. who
locked him up OIL 4 charge OF murder,
Jones claims that he had n talk with
Mrs. Still in reference to his wife, when
hard words were exchanged; that Mrs.
Still went after her husband, who came
and threatened to kill him, at the same
time drawing q revolver, which he
cooked and put up to his mouth.
Jones said that this was more than he
could stand, and he drew his own pls-
toll and fired In selfdefence.-S. +.

THE RArNFALI--Dr. Logan, Of Sac
ramento, has kept an accurate record
Of the rainfall at that city for twenty
years, and shows that In all seasons In
which there has been a rainfall OF
eighteen to thirty-six inches, the month
of November has received from two to
six inches--the proportion generally
being in contrast to the winters rain
fall. He also shows that In all seasons
of from four to sixteen inches Of rain,
the rain Of November Is almost In
direct proportion to the amount
ranging from a sprinkle to about two
inches. According to this Statement,
we ought to have at least four inches
Of rain the present month to insure a
good ploughing season. The pluvia-
meter Is a mueh more certain gauge Of
the rainfall than the "slgns" observed
by old Inhabitants. It tells US the
amount OF rain We have received, and
how to take advantage Of It. The
showers yet to fall al only be hoped
for, not foretold with any degree OF
accuracy.

A PRIsoN RoMANcE.-The Chicago
Evening Post relates the sad story OF
the imprisonment Of a young girl
Every prison has Its romance, and
that Of the penitentiary at Kingston,
Canada, Is worth recounting. In 1872,
near Toronto, the serving man Of q
Captain Kinnear murdered his master
to obtain a sum Of money which was
in the house. After killing him the
wretch also slew the housekeeper. He
was arrested, and at his trial impli-
Gated q girl of fifteen, named Grace
Marks, who vas living In the house,
as an accompllce, alleging that she
knew of the murder Of the master be-
fore that of the housekeeper took place.
Her story was that he threatened her
with death il she gave the alarm ; but,
as she had been on intimate terms with
the murderer, It was ~discredited. He
was hanged and she sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Almost thirty
years have since elapsed, and she Is
still q prisoner, no longer a blooming
girl, but an old woman, pale, sad,
Silent, prematurely gray. From time
to time some newspaper correspond
ent, visiting the Institution, hears and
publishes her story. There Is talk OF
a petition for her release, people say
it's strange, tits passing strange, ills
pltlful. It's wondrous pitiful, and then
the matter dies away. Even If this
woman were guilty, q lifetime Of i'm
prisonment might be held to have
assoiled her crime, and she might be
set free to die. There would be little
else for her to do In this later world.
Where she lived and the cry of murder
went up are now acres Of brick and
mortar and miles of dusty streets.
Her kindred are dead, her crime for
gotten, and her very existence and
history are unfamiliar. 10 such q one
a late mercy might be shown.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE E,

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Tweed yester-
day said he was not prepared to an
swer questions In regard to his reported
resignation, but is certain the report is
untrue. He said the great success OF
the Reform party took him by surprise.
Tweed's counsel states that he would
hurry to trial the charges Of tile Re-
form Committee, and has no wish for
delay.
The Tribune says Tweed has been
rapidly transferring property to other
hands, and his son has been selling
stock In various railroads at a sacrifice.
| He held 1000 shares Of Metropolitan
Gas stock, worth $l,365, DOC. He or
dered its immediate sale after suit be-
gan. The rate was then l95, but he
forced it on the market and sold al
about 10. He Is reported to have
attempted to sell the lease OF the Me
tropolitan Hotel. ,
Universal satisfaction Is expressed
by all parties over the result OF the
election. Gr
Charles O'Connor says the Legisla'
ture ut once should erase from thu
statute books thu nefarious laws giving
so much power to rascals, who have
nearly ruined the city's credit through
disagreement, and that the suit
against the Ring officials should not te
allowed to langulsh.

II. Al :. Fire.


The Detroit Post, In speaking Of the
recent fires In Michigan, draws the fol-
lowing vivid picture:
Those who were exposed to the ter
rible tornado during which Chicago,
Peshtigo, Manistee, White Rock, and
other towns on Lakes Michigan and
Huron. were burned, testify nearly
unanimously that "the air seemed to
be on fire." These words r almost
invariably used In describing the phe-
nomena. The fire did not spread grad
ually from tree to tree and house to
house, but a great sheet Of flame over
coming them like the clouds, and NOV
ing with the rapidity of a hurricane,
rushed upon them without warning.
It surrounded them. The atmosphere
seemed filled with fire. Many people
who inhaled the hot air fell dead.
Corpses were found without q trace OF
fire upon them, or even upon the
clothes which still covered them.
There were frequently no marks Of
fire among the adjacent trees or fences.
Many were killed In compact masses
as II by a blast Of death. They were
huddled together, away from trees and
buildings. Fish were killed In the
streams by the intense heat. Many Of
these people believed that tho last day
had come, as we'll they might. The
roaring Of the whirlwind which pre-
coded the blaze sounded enough like
the last trump to suggest a prelude to
the final catastrophe. The black mid
night sky suddenly burst into flame.
The flying brands might easily be mis-
taken for falling stars, and the vision
Of the Apocalypse be reproduced be-
fore their terror-strlcken eyes. "The
moon became as blood. And the stars
Of Heaven fell unto the earth, eve rs
a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs
when she Is shaken Of a mighty wind.
And the Heaven departed as n scroll
when It Is rolled together" The i'm
aginations of those Mortified people
could without difficulty see prophecy
fulfilled In the terrors which encom-
passed them.

The Democratic Convention of Penn

put forth the following resolutions:
Resolced, That we recognize the bind
ing obligation of all the provisions Of
the Constitution of the United States as
they now exist, and We deprecate the
discussion Of issues which have been
settled in the manner and by the au-
thority constifutioually appointed.
ioesolsed, That the force and bayonet
bills recently enacted by Congress are
gross attacks upon the reserved rights
of the States, destructive to the ele-.
mental principles oi civil liberty, io>
to1eraole to free people, centralizing
in tendency, and should be forthwith
repealed.
Rcsolrra, That the language Of Seua-
tor ar Schurz in his St. Louis speech
wherein he says, II consider it one of
the mos: pressing needs of our days
that we should return to the sound
practice of constitutional government.
The safe CARDS Of our common rights
and liberties contained in the Constitu-
ton are too sacred and valuable boon
TO be permanently jeopardized in pro-
vidiug for passing emergency. 1t is
inc that the American people open
their eyes to the dangerous character of
this tendency, and that neither gre
name nor an object appealing to Our
synpathies shoald be permitted to dis
guise it. As for me | have seen the
working of irresponsible power and
personal government in other countries,
aud I mag assure my constituents that,
while I an citizen Of this republic, l
shall struggle to the last gasp against its
introduction here" was but tho utter
ance of we'll known aud frequently an-
nounced Democratic doctrine.
