STREET INcrDENT.-We wonder, II
people who pursue their daily walks in life
around this city ever think Of the constant
change which times mutations produce in
themselves and friends, not. to speak Of
doubt If they do. The web of life IS
woven of, many strands which we visit not
Of till one is pulled asunder and the fabric
.crumbles, and All hopes, aspirations and
successes are buried ~. one, common grave.
In the great game of life the real and the
idea. are constantly mixed up. The glare
and glitter and plausible veneer Of society,
life that divide dread realities and perhaps
" another and q better world" and the
Ediscomforts Of a~n-unblessed existence, are
separated BY very thin partitions. Break,

A Noted Will Case.

The Call says that the trial of the
celebrated Black will case, which was
transferred from Sonoma county to
the Probate Court of this city, COM
menced on Monday morning last.
James Black, in the year 1885, located
in Marin county and became very
wealthy. His first wife died and he
married widow lady who had borne
her first husband four or five children
In June, 1870, Black died and left an
estate valued at more than half mil
lion dollars. He left will bequeath-
ing his entire property to his surviv-
ing wife and children, except few
nominal remembrances to friends.
The only child by his first marriage
(wife of DR.. Burdell, formerly of that
city, filed an opposition the probating
of the will, on the grounds of unsound-
ness of mind at the time of the execu-
ton, undue influence of the legatees
etc. During the closing period of his
life Black became very Incorporate
This is one of the alleged causes Of the
arrangement of his intellect. The
will was carried to Mrs. Burdell for
her to read the day after the funeral
of her father. Finding that he had
disinherited his only child, she tore
the paper almost in twain, dividing
his signature. The case was tried be-
fore jury in San Rafael three times,
and in each instance the jury failed to
agree. Each of the trials occupied
about two weeks, and often the court
sessions were extended to late hours
in the night. The case was transfer
red to San Francisco on motion of the
prepayment, on the ground that fair
trial could not be obtained in Marin
county

A Boy Murderer Hanged.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, February 9th.
William Keene was executed to-day
for the murder Of Valentine in No
vember last. Keene first made his
appearance in this city about the LIST
of October, 1873. He was quite youth
full, being about eighteen years of age,
and prepossessing in appearance and
manner. A few days after his arrival
he was Joined by Valentine, person
much older than Keene. They APP
peared to be warm friends. About the
LIST of November, Valentine started up
the river on a hunt, and was followed
by Keene, who returned few days
after. bringing Valentines boat, gun
and watch. Valentines body was
found near Black Point, with evil
dences that he had been foully MUIR
dered. The brain was pierced with
shot, the throat gashed, and the legs
weighted. At the CorOner's inquest
Keene admitted in a careless way that
the body was that of Valentine, and
afterwards confessed that he commit
ted the crime, adding that it was done
in self-defense. His story was that he
quarreled with Valentine about loan
of money. Valentine stopped to raise
a revolver, and he fired on and killed
him. He denied having. cut the VIC
TINS throat, and attributed the cuts
to the fishes.
The theory of defense was upset by
the fact that Valentine had been shot
in the back of the head; and this, to-
gether with Keene's cOncealment of
the crime, and his haste to get possess
sion of the dead mans property, suffi-
GENTLY proved his guilt. His air of
cool levity in the prisoners box made
an unfavorable impression. The proof
was clear, and he was sentenced to be
hanged to-day. His counsel made q
motion for q new trial, but withdrew
the motion, and the death warrant
was signed.
After his sentence Keene began to
reflect on his condition. He was re-
ceived into the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and wrote verses devoid of
literary merit, but showing that he
realized his approaching end.
At half-past 10 this morning he was
hanged in the Jail enclosure. He met
his fate calmly, and was pronounced
dead within thirty minutes. About
one hundred persons witnessed the ex-
ecution. Tomorrow Keene would
have been nineteen years old.
Valentine. the murdered man, was
q native of Charlton, Saratoga county,
New York, and has one brother and
two sisters now living. He left home
and went to California nineteen years
ago, and was never heard of by his
relatives until an account of his MUIR
der was seen in the New York San.
L. L. Gillespie and wife, of Troy, New
York, the latter sister of the MUIR
dered man, arrived here on Monday,
and had an interview with Keene.-
