LONDON, January 2th.-The steam
er Kathleen Mary, from Odessa, for
Falmouth, has been lost at sea and 20
persons drowned.
Friday last, being the second ami
versary of the death of Napoleon, O
large number of French Imperialists
were at Chiselhurst. At Paris, me-
mortal services were held ut the
church of St. Augustine, and the
building was densely packed. .I.
The London Times gives an account
of q terrible accident on the Great
Western Railroad, by which 81 per-
sons were killed and upward of 70
wounded. The train consisted of 13
cars, drawn oy two engines, and was
travelling at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, when, by the breaking of one of
the wheels, three cars were thrown off
the track ald dashed to pieces. The
most of the occupants were instantly
killed.

The Depot Question.

1t is now some three months since
on q positive contract, both verbal and
written, the managers of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company agreed to
commence work on the new depot
within six weeks from that date.
Messrs. CRocKER and CoLTON agreed
in writing with the Mayor of9this city
and pledged their word of honor as
gentlemen to the Common Council
that this contract should be carried out
on condition that the seventy-five
thousand dollars in city bonds were
then delivered to them. Acting in
good faith, the Council surrendered the
bonds. The railroad company depos-
tied a quantity of,lumber on the depot
grounds, and a little work was done.
Then operations ceased, and there are
now no indications that the company
intend to build the depot in six months
or six years. We are also informed
that part of the lumber has been re-
moved. We do not believe that the
company intend to disregard their part
ofthe contract and our long acquaint-
ance with Messrs. CRocKER and COL
TON affords no ground for believing
that they would deliberately, break
their word. Yet time goes by and We
have not. the faintest prospect for a
depot on the new site. The people are
becoming anxious and fears are ex-
pressed that we have given away our
bonds for few empty promises. The
HERALD is disposed to believe that the
railroad company intend to carry out
their portion of the econtract and though
there has been some delay we expect
to be able to report In short time that |
active operations have been com.
menced on the new depot. a,;R ,i5 N ]

A Shot at vasquez.

The San Francisco Bulletin gives
Vasquez the following scoring. 1t is a
sound custom "never to strike man
when he is down." but in the case of
this Infamous outlaw, the custom is
beGter III It's fbreech, than In Its OBJ
servance: ts
There has not been in many years so
brutal a scoundrel before any court in
the United States as Vasquez. Many
were afraid that he would get clear
/ through some ct al. technicality. But
the jury have done their duty, and
Vasquez will meet a just fate. There
will be the usual delay. But there is
no hope for him. The evidence given
on the trial shows him to have been
one of the worst of that lawless gang
who infest the mountains of Southern
California and who are ready at all
times to steal ten-dollar horse or to
murders q man for twenty dollars.
Vasquez has no redeeming trait. He
did not have the ordinary courage of IL
bandit. The Tres Pinos robbery and
murder were planned by him. He led
the. gang and he committed some of
the murders with his own hands.
These are only few of his bloody
acts. An attempt has been made to
create sympathy for him. But he is
entitled to none whatever. He has
come to the end of an Infamous career.
In looking over the evidence we do
not find mitigating fact. He nur-
dered unoffending men wontonly. He
was able to sweep down on small
hamlet and plunder it at will. lie
Killed men who were trying to run
away from the danger of his presence.
After being sheltered by his country
men for years, one of them whom
Vasqnez had wronged was treacherous
enough to betray him. There was a
special fitness in the very instrument
used to track him out. There will be
q special fitness in U his certain and
speedy punishment.
