DEATH OF EDWIN L. JONES.

Jones, brother of Senator John +. Jones, wa!
received in this city Sunday. He died al
Los Angeles Saturday morning at 2 o'clock
Mr.. Jones had been sufferer for many
months from that seemingly incurable NAL
ady, Bright's disease Of the kidneys. The
deceased possessed the most sterling and de-
sirable qualities. He was a true and unfail
ing friend, generous, and endowed with much
natural ability His death has caused much
sorrow among the many frinds his amiable
nature attracted to him. His brother, Sam
uel L. Jones, in company with other members
of the family, departed on Sunday evening
to attend the funeral in San Francisco, at
which place the remains will arrive this
morning for burial in the family tomb at Lone
Mountain Deceased was 45 years of age and
a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He was one of
the Pacific Coast pioneers.
The CASE OF Mrs. CLEaa Yesterday in
the case of the State vs.. Mrs. Clegg, in JUS
tice Court, Judge Harris made lengthy
argument in support OF motion by him for
new trial. The motion was overruled
Counsel for the defense then spoke of some
reasons why the Court should be lenient in
it's verdict; of the good character and mod
crate circumstances of Mr.. Clegg husband of
the defendant; of his acts OF kindness and
benevolence. Counsel for the prosecution
also spoke of Mr.. Clegg as a gentleman worthy
of great respect, but said that he was not the
defendant in the case. Judge Witherell then
of the suit Counsel for the defense filed a
notice of appeal. The notice of appeal will
probably be perfected to-day or the fine paid.
1t is nothing more than justice to say that
Mr.. Clegg is deserving of sympathy. For
doubtless the punishment melted out to his
wife will fall upon him. We believe him to
be an honest and industrious man, and that
it will be great hardship for him to pay this
fine of 5000. We believe, too, that Justice
Witherell rightly took this into consideration
in passing sentence.
The placidity of affairs at Glenbrook was
little disturbed yesterday morning by an en-
counter between two captains of lake steam
ers, viz: Lapham and Avery The misunder-
standing was occasioned by the taking of pas
sengers consigned to one steamer by another
The lie passed; pistols were drawn; but the
lead contained therein caused no bloodshed,
because the weapons were not discharged,
Matters were subsequently amicably arranged
and the usual serenity of the lake shores has
been restored.
Several parties of school-marms from differ
ent sections of California are daily expected
at Lake Bigler. Natives, beware of bad gram
mar during their sojourn. The lumber mills,
we learn from gentleman just from the lake,
are as busy as they were during former years.
The demand for mining timbers has not de-
creased. Logging business at that point is
hourishing, and the residents at the lake who
are in business have no knowledge Of hard
times.
Samuel C. Davis, of the Virginia Chron-
icle, the wit, poet and genial gentleman, was
among the visitors at the Turn Verein picnic.
He attempted several times during the day |
to pass himself off as a German, but the I'M
position was detected. Otherwise his con- !
duct was exemplary
w S. Byrne, cashier of the Mint, received
a letter from the home of Mr.. Belcher, the
fruit man, who has been 50 dangerously i'll,
lmparting the pleasant information that Mr..
Belcher is out of danger, and that his COM
plete recovery may be looked forward to at
an early date.
