paired to Robbins hotel, where she
was was followed and shot by Lap

The force Of the charge was
bailied by a mulf which the girl held
in her hand, but for WHICH her life
would have been forfeited. The

As Mr.. Jacobs never was i'm Wash

false.
The assertion made by this intelli-

At Glendale yesterday, SAYS the
Reno Democrat Of the 9th, Mr.. Wood
worth, familiarity known as Uncle
Johnny Woodwork, suddenly died.
UP t o half past 8 O'Clock on Saturday
evening, Mr.. Woodwork was in com.
pany with several friends and neigh
bors, and to all appearances was in the
enjoyment of perfect health. He made
no complaint of being i'll, and was not
suffering from any pain, or any dis
ease. He was sitting up at Il later hour
than usual, waiting for his wife, who
had gone ON business to Reno. At
about 2 O'Clock in the morning, Uncle
johnny died. Here we drop the mat
ter, only adding, that if all the neigh
bars tell the truth, there is abundant
reason for a thorough and careful post
norton examination.
The mar who was bitten by the

friends took what appeared to them to
be the only remedy.

THE LAST HOURS OF ANDREW
JOHNSON.

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald furnishes some m%ournful par.
ticulars Of the last hours of ex-Presi.
dent johnson.
From seven o'clock Friday evening
until the hour OF his death he was un.
conscious. During Friday he had SON.
versed freely on different subjects.
His mind did not wander much, but
he seemed to suffer terribly, strug-
Cling with the disease that had struck
him down. Mr.. Johnson was in the
habit of rising at daylight, walking on
his porch in pleasant weather for a
short time, and then after eating an
early breakfast going to his Office and
attending to his correspondence. just
before his departure from Greenville
he had been reading the work of Gid
o Welles, late Secretary Of the Navy,
sent him by the author, and entitled
ssLincoln and Seward" He had also
been carrying on a large correspond
ence with prominent men Of the coun-
try, with Thomas Maloney acting as
his secretary.
Numerous letters were received late
ly by him from Louisiana and Ohio,
to which he gave a careful reading and
promptly answered. He had also
shown great interest in the Ohio cam
paign. He read the first speech of
Governor Allen carefully, and said it
contained many good points. 1t seems
from the books and papers he had
been studying Of late, his close attend
ance to business and from the remarks
he had made, that he intended to in
troduce some important measures into
the next session OF Congress.
In the garden of Mr.. Johnson's late
residence is a magnificent willow,
grown from 4 twig taken from the will
low which bends over the grave Of
Napoleon Bonaparte, on st. Helena,
and sent to the ex-President. A twig
from this noted tree will be planted
Mr.. Johnson's grave on john
sons Hill.

EDGERFON'S SEAT TO BE CON.
TESTED.

Henry Edgerton was elected to the
California Senate from Sacramento
county two years ago, his term of office
running for four years. During the
last year, or longer, Mr.. Edgerton has
resided in San Francisco, and now
Judge Beatty, formerly Of the Supreme
Bench of this State, has determined to
test his right to the seat in the coming
session of the California Legislature.
The Record Union makes the follow
ing reference to the subject: "Hon. H.
o. Beatty himself a candi-
date for the Office of State Senator, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the re-
moval of Senator Edgerton from this
county and Senatorial district. This
action on the part of Judge Beatty
raises the issue as to whether a Senator
eligible to the Office by reason of being
an elector of the district he represents
when elected, loses that eligibility by
ceasing to be an elector of the district
during the tenure Of the office. The
election Of Judge Beatty, which, OF
course, is assured, will bring the issue
n to Edgerton's right to reside in San
Francisco and still represent this con-
stituency before the Senate, which
body, on all questions touching the
qualifications of its members, is a court
