That i" Conclusive Statement"

In Tuesdays Express appears a
communication signed by "a Citizen,"
which we presume means the Presi-
dent of the Main and Spring Street
Railway Company giving the so-called
other side of the question, involved in
the ordinance now before the Council
granting TO the street railway COM
pany the right to lay track across
the Southern Pacific road, and by oc.
cupying the space opposite the new
depot, SO obstruct as to nearly destroy
much travelled thoroughfare. The
only statement made in that commu-
nication, which really needs answer
ing is that the space in question is
seventy-five feet in width, in place of
nine feet, as stated in the HERALD,
and this statement is given the SEM
blance of truth by an ingenious,
though we shall show unsuccessful,
effort to dodge the real question. IA
Citizen'' finds his seventy-five feet
some distance West of the depot, and
we find our nine feet opposite the de-
pot, where the ordinance provides and
where the street railway company un-
doubtedly wish to lay their track and
run their cars. This is the sum total
of the issue: "a Citizen measures
the space at point some distance
West of the depot over which the cars
will pass, and we measure it opposite
the depot, where the cars will stand.
We oppose the proposition on a prin-
ciple expressed by IA Citizen:" "No
class of fmen should be allowed, through
selfish motives, to block up the wheels
of progress and public improvement
in rapidly growing city like ours"
The insinuation of " A Citizen" that
the Express is doing an injury to
itself by opposing the passage of the
ordinance is, we suppose, intended to
apply also to the HERALD. We ap-
preciate the manifestation of solicit
tude, but in advocating the public
welfare the HERALD is not in the
habit of stopping to consider the eff
feet its policy will have upon its sub
scription list. The HERALD had
rather be right than own a whole
street railroad and be wrong. We beg
to assure the Cypress correspondent
that in opposing this ordinance we
are not evincing our contempt for the
Council, and the intimation that such
was our purpose falls to the ground
when it is known that Coun-

Horrible Crime In q Belfry.

BOSTON, May 23d.-About 4 o'clock
this afternoon people passing by the
Baptist Church, corner of Warren Av-
enue and West Clinton street, We're
startled by loud and piercing screams,
which proceeded from the belfry of
the church. Some gentlemen who
happened to be passing rushed into
the church and up to the door leading
to the bell tower. Finding the door
locked they forced it and discovered in
the belfry a girl of three or four years
of age lying on the floor, her face and
head covered with blood from two
wounds on her head, from one of which
the brains were oozing. A cricket
bat covered with blood was found near
making it evident that the child was
assailed in the room below, carried up
the ladder and the trap door shut. The
child was carried to a neighbors
house and doctor summoned, but no
hopes are entertained Of her recovery.
The circumstances point strongly to-
ward Thomas w. Piper, the sexton of
the church, who was the only one in
the building at the time, and he was
promptly arrested. The child's name
is Mabel Young, and she is the daugh-
ter of wealthy widow, and grand
daughter of Mr.. Hobbs, of the firm of
Hobbs, Hope & Co. 1t is supposed
that after Sunday School was dis
missed the sexton dragged the child
into the room under the belfry, where
be committed the bloody deed. No
probable motive for the act is as yet
assigned, with any degree of GER
tainty.

and Porter resumed his argument for
the defendant. He referred to the let
ters of contrtion, which was the only
known instance in which man had
written letter to himself This man,
who was master of every intellectual
department, when he came into Moul-
toms presence was like an untutored
schoolboy. Another feature of the let
ter was that Beecher refused to sign
it. Counsel referred to the two state
ments made by Moulton in regard TO
the scandal, and said he copied them
from Tilton's drafts. They were the
result of a fortnight's work by Benz.
+. Butler. 1t was tfilton who gave di-
rections for carrying out the schemes
which originated in his fertile brain.
Frank Moulton was a sham from the
beginning. The declarations of Til
ton, Moulton and Mrs. Moulton all
bore the impress of 1ilton's mind.
That word "paroxysmal,'' referring
to kiss, was never heard from Beech
ers lips except by two persons--Tilton
and Frank Moulton.

Death Of the oldest settler Mt Yosemite.

YOSEMITE, May odd. G. Lamon,
the Oldest settler at Yosemite, died
last evening at his old Winter cabin,
aged So. He was native of Virginia
and arrived in California in 1850. He
has led very Industrious and frugal
life, and in the day of his financial
prosperity, as he had just sold his
property to the Commissioners as his
life closed. A very impressive funeral
took place to-day. Two ministers Of
ficiated and all the inhabitants of the
valley and two hundred tourists and
many Indians followed him to the
grave, q large number of these riding
on horseback. He was buried near
the grand Yosemite Falls, near his
home, where, as the minister said, 'its
musical rythms would chant an eter-
nal requium.n

One of the finest Improvements in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
LAFAYETTE Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent a
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. a16
