NAMED transfixed to the pin, while the
headless body fell to the bottom Of the
shaft, breaking both legs and one OF
his arms. When the head was discov-

wide open, staring apparently ut those
who gathered around, and the man
whose duty It was. TO attend below was

SUBSTITUTE FOR FIRE BRIcx.-The
Los Angeles Neus of February oath
says;
We noticed yesterday ut the railroad
depot several specimens Of gray rock,
resembling Mt first appearance granite,
but weighing little more than lava,
which arc being sent to II. II. Selby,
San Francisco, for the purpose of test
ing Its qualities rs q substitute for fire
brick. The rock Is said to be found IN
great quantities neal the Cerro Gordo
mines, In Inyo county, and has been,
1t Is said, used in the furnace of the
celebrated Delshaw Smelling Works,
and found to be equal, If not superior,
to flrst-class brick. Should 1t prove,
upon further tests, to possess the quail,
tiles claimed for it by its friends, 1t
will add another to the long list oil
useful California productions.

was the programme for the occasion,
and It was carried out with zest and
enjoyment. An excellent suggestion
has been made by the Committee for
celebrating the natal day Of Ireland's
patron saint. They propose that a gen..
eral collection shall be taken up among
the Irish people Of the Pacific coast OIL
| st. Patrick's Day next, In aid of the
suffering fund, and for that purpose
recommend that, the Irish military
companies and civic societies In the in
terror Immediately organize collection
committees. If the proposal Is adopt
| ed, n very large sum of money will be
raised, and the Irish name be redeemed
from the slur Of having offered only
noisy sympathy to their conquered and
unfortunate friends.
A Reward Claimed.
It will be remembered that ut tho
outbreak of the war last July, an adj
v~ertisement appeared in a French
newspaper published here. offering a
reward of five hundred dollars to the
soldier who captured a. Prussian flag.
A claimant has now appeared on be-
| half of Menotti Garibaldi, who Is said
to have taken the only banner lost by
the Germans during the campaign.
An Extensive Series or F~erRories
was brought to light to-day, showing
all extraordinary facility In the use of
the pen by the perpetrator. Their
successful execution required the imi-
tation of sixteen different handwrit-
ings, which was done in every case so
cleverly that 1t was nearly impossible
without q minute examination to pick
out the forgeries from the bona .fde Sig
natures. The accused Is n young man
Of very respectable connections, by the
name of Joseph G. Edwards, who has
been employed rs a clerk In the State
Senate, and latterly In the Recorders
office In this city, q knowledge OF
which facts conduced materially to the
success of his operations. Edwards
some time ago made the acquaintance
of man of means, called Scollay, and
having won his confidence by some
honest business transactions, went to
him with a number of warrants, which
he protested to have obtained from
clerks In the Recorders office Mt a dis
count, and which he was DESTROYS Of
selling. Mr.. Scollay purchased them
without suspicion, and, In addition,
advanced him $iG8 oil commissions
which he said was coming to him as
an agent Of the Manhattan Life lnsur-
ance Company. On presenting the
warrants ut the treasury for payment,
they were accidentally seen by one OF
the Recorders clerks Whose attention
was attracted BY noticing his W
namo ATTACHED to q document. This
led to q discovery, and Edwards was
thercupon arrested and to-day com.
mitted to the County Court. The
total amount Of his forgeries Is about
$4,000.

TO the People of Wisconsin.

Throughout the northern part of
this State, fires have been raging in
the woods, for many days, spreading
desol alton on svery side. 1t is re-
ported that hundreds of families have
been rendered homeless by the de-
vouring element, and reduced to ut
ter restitution, their entire crops
having been consumed. Their stock
has been destroyed, and their farms
are but blackened desert. Unless
they receive instant aid from por-
tons of the State not visited by this
fearful calamity, they must perish.
The telegraph also brings the terri
bic news that large portion of the
city Of Chicago is destroyed by a
confagration which is still raging.
Many thousands of people are thus
reduced TO penury, stripped of their
all, and are now destitute of shelter
and food. Their sufferings will be in
tense, and mary may perish unless
provisions are at once sent TO them
from the surrounding country. They
must be assisted NOW.
In the awful presence of such ca
lamities, the people of Wisconsin
will not be backward in giving as
sistance to their afflicted fellow-men.
| therefore recommend that immo>
diate organized effort be made in
every locality, to forward provisions
and money to the sufferers by this
visitation, aud suggest to Mayors of
cities, Presidents of villages, Town
Supervisors, Pastors of Churches, and
to the various Benevolent Socities,
that they devote themselves imme-
diately to the work of organizing eff
fort, collecting contributions, and
sending forward supplies for distri-
button.
And | entreat Of all TO give of their
abundance to help those in such sore
distress.
