the fact of it's adoption by 10 many business
firms in this city who own sidipga would seem to
establish its merits Among other reasons OF
superiority it is claimed for this patent that it
it does not lift the car Wheel like many other

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

SAN Francisco, May 24.-About
5 o'clock this afternoon, woman
named Martha Loomis, attempted
to shoot Col. w. H. l.. Barnes, q
well known lawyer, in front of Ma.
CURES new Theater. Mrs. LOOMS
is the mother of a young actress,
Geogie Loomis, and gives as q rea-
son for her attempt to kill him, that
the Colonel had been instrumental
in bringing about a separation be-
tween herself and daughter. This
is apparently the sequel to an affray
occurring in the same locality on
Saturday afternoon, in which Mrs.
Loomis attacked woman whom
she accused of having taken her
daughter on trip to Paris, to the
serious detriment of the young
lady's morals and reputation. In
the present instance, Mrs. Loomis
was disarmed and arrested before
doing any damage.
1t is now probable that the long
room, Just completed at the corner
of Sansome and Halleck streets,
will be occupied by the newly or
ganized Pacific Stock Exchange,
negotiations to that end being in
p rogress to-day.
PRESCOTT Arizona, May PA
practical mining expert, who has
been examining the mines in Brad
shaw District, in the interest Of
California capitalists, expresses
himself very favorably of different
mines in that district.
Reports from Mohave county cor
roberate all that has been said of
the McCracken Mine. The more it
is developed the more fattering the
prospect appears.
Gov. Stafford had an interview
with the home Chiefs of the Hual-
pals while in Mohave county, and
comedies with the view taken by
Gen. Kautz and Agent Tonner, that
it is better policy to let them alone
for the present.

New Mode of Burial.

A new idea for the disposition of
the dead has recently been preached
in Paris by lady, Mile Jaloureau,
which is both simple and practical,
and certainly appears to offer a
means of avoiding the deleterious re-
suits ascribed to the presence OF
cemeteries, while allowing of the re-
tention OF those. by most people,
hallowed resting places. The OBJ
iects sought were, first, a coffin
which should closely confine all
noxious exhalations, and second, a
means of fastening decomposition
while preventing putrid fermenta-
ton. These desiderata, it is said, are
effectually obtained, the first by
coating the interior of the receptacle
with bitumen or asphalt, and the
second, by placing with the body
quantity of phosphate of lime. The
editor of Les Mondes, in describing
this invention, asserts that corses
thus enclosed may be kept for years
without alteration, save in the num-
MITIGATION of the bodies, and he adds
that the process is virtually the same
as that of the Chinese and the an
cient Hebrews.

DEATH OF HILL BEACHY.

A telegram from San Francisco
yesterday announces the death in
that city on Sunday morning of Hill
Beachy, the well-known stage man
ofthe Pacific Coast. He was stricken
with paralysis on Thursday last, and
on the following day he became
speechless and his recovery was
pronounced hopeless. He failed
rapidly, and on Sunday morning
breathed his last. His death was
quiet and painless and he retained
consciousness up to the last mo-
ment, making his will. Deceased
was a'member of the Masonic Order,
and was man of much character
in the west. His remains were taken
to Marysville, and deposited in the
same vault with his wife and chill
dren.

THE GAMBLING LAw.-The mat
ter of the mandamus case of Westley
George VS.. Sheriff Swift, of Ormsby
county, came up in the Supreme
Court last Wednesday. This case
involves the validity of the gambling
law of the last session. The facts,
as set forth in the argument, were
that Mr.. George refused to pay the
license demanded under the law of
1875, and claimed his license under
the act of 1873, the which the sheriff
refused to issue, hence the litigation.
The case was argued by r.. w. Clarke
on the part of Mr.. George, and Will
liam Patterson for the county. That
| the act of 1875 is dead letter is pa
tent to all acquainted with the cir
cumstances of the case, and no doubt
the Court will SO rule. The bill was
incorrectly enrolled, and in that con-
dition was signed by the Governor.
We are confident that the error is a
fatal one and that either the old law
is in full force and effect or that there
is no law whatever relating to gam
bling in the State.--Eureka Sentinel
May 22nd.
