Killing of J. c. Robinson.

A desperate personal emnity has fol some months existed between the Loss Bros. and J. c. Robinson. This feud culminated last Sunday afternoon in the shooting and mortally wounding of Robinson by John c. Loss.
 MT. Loss took dinner at the Pinal Restaurant at about one o'clock Sun day. He was returning to his place of business, and when in front of Mir Goldman's book store Mir. Robinson came out leading a dog that had been shot and lamed by John Loss some weeks before It is claimed that MT. Robinson made some offensive remarks about the man who shot the dog and made a motion to draw pistol, where upon AL- Loss began shooting with a self-cocking five-shooter. Two of the shots passed through Mir. Robinson's body under the right shoulder One entered the left breast, made a slight flesh wound and lodged in the left arm; while another and probably the fatal shot entered the center of the left side, ranged upward, passed near the heart and lodged Tn the center of the breast nears the skin. The last shot missed and lodged in a window casing on the south side of the butcher shop.
 Robinson fell at the first shot, but recovered himself and staggered into Bailey's saloon, from here he was taken to Dr. Harvey's office, where his wounds were probed and dressed. He fingered in much pain until Monday evening at , 30 o'clock, when he quiet ly breathed his last. He was buried at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
 After the shooting MT. Loss walked quietly up to hls saloon where he was arrested a few moments later by Depu- ty Sheriff Deputy and taken before Judge Walker by whom he was com mitted to jail to await the results of Robinson's wounds. After Robinson's death the charge of murder was form ally entered against Loss and his ex- animation began Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. At this writing the eXami- nation is still going on and may not be concluded for several days yet. The testimony has all to be written down and hence the case is necessarily slow and tedious one. Judge Sum- mers and Col. Stanford are counsel for defendant, while the prosecution is of course in the hands of District Attor- ney Oury.

FOR dry country we must say that we do have some line showers. During the pas week the weather has been very cloudy with considerable rain-not heavy showers, but gentle, steady, down east g rains. Night before last the moisture fell thick and fast at times, and just about daylight yesterday 1t began raining very hard and continued steady for over two hours. The ir.fgating ditches filled and oyerflowed. Mud roofs and mud walls rushing down Main stleet, quite river-like and many of our citizens were kept very busy protecting their adobe walls from it's ruinous effects. Mir. NJ Calisher was the only one who sustained serious loss. The water surrounded his house, ran into the front door and threatened to undermine the walls. A few wshoards and little active exercise with shovels changed the cur some other pieces Of furniture were much damaged. At the store he was more un- fortunate. The water came upon him front and rear; little damage was done in front, but his cellar in the rear was soon flooded, the adobe pillars that supported the roof softened and the roof came down with a crash, and shortly after the walls tum- bled in also. A large portion of the goods stored in the ce lar could not be damaged by the water, but the cigars, 61c., suffered. Mir. Calisher estimates his loss in goods and building et $500. This is indeed un- fortunate 10: MT. Calisher, as he lost near. ly the same amount by robbers only a short time since.

From Salem Township.

Ed. SPIRIT: The all:absorbing topic
with as for some days has been an effort
to ascertain who done the burning a,
Stephen Hathorn's. A warrant was is
sued on complaint Of Mr.. Hathorn
against one Charlotte Jane Typles, lit.
tie girl less than eleven years old, that
Mr. q. was raising, and upon evidence
given as to her confession and her state.
meuts, she was held Tor further examina
tion. In her confession, she stated tha,
one Sarah Hartline was sccessory in pro.
curing and advising her to commit the
offense, whereupon the latter was com,
planned of, had an examination and was
discharged. The last mentioned had
lived with VIM. Foreman. who lives In
the same house with Mr.. Hathorn, for
some time until day or two before the
first burning; she is not quite IA 1t Is
agreed by majority that the girl Typles
Is remarkably peculiar, and unfortunately
was contradicted in part and successful
ly impeached, Notwithstanding her age,
while on the other hand the Hartline girl
was sustained as to character by some
or 10 persons where she had lived and
who were acquainted with her.
Some conclude that It is an inherent
principle in the little girl to act bad, while
others think the accessory has not ye,
been proceeded against. While all seem
to realize the occurrences as a sad affair
and would be glad to see the true state
Of affairs obtain, yet they also conclude
that the innocent ought not to suffer
1t is proper to say that no one reflects
on Mr.. Hathorn for the condition Of the
girl.

Indiana and Ohio.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Angst 27-Sena
tor Mcdonald, of Indiana, says that he
feels confident that the Democrats will
secure the next Legislature of that State; !;
that the Republicans have an advantage
in the districtiug which is equivalent to
1000 majority against them, but the
Democrats will overcome that. "Our
party is united and harmonious. There
are no chisms among US, and that gives
US great advantage over our opponents.
In reply to question as to whether all
the Democrats Of the State indorse its
platform, the Senator says that not only
himself but other leading Democrats do
not exactly agree with the financial por
tion OF the platform, shut that is not an
element of weakness in the party, be-
cause we all support the ticket earnestly.
In fact, l believe it is an element Of
strength, as it shows that difference OF
opinion on one question can not divide
US. There are other important issues at
stake. I never saw the party more
thoroughly united and in earnest in my
life." "What do you think OF the resul.
in Ohio ?" "We will carry Ohio and In
diana both; that is my conviction
care the Nationals giving the Democra.
cy, any aid, or are they lighting their own
battle, / think. Some of the rank and
file of that party will vote for the Demo.
cratic nominees for the Legislature, in or.
der to send VOORHEES, back to the Senate
but the most substantial aid we can looh
to from the Nationals is that they draw
more votes from the Republicans than
from cur party" The Senator left here
TO night for New York. and will return
home in few days.

The Duties of Coroners in Ohio--At-
tOrney General Pillars Opinion.

Below is an extract from the opinion of
the Attorney General of Ohio in relation
to the duties of Coroners
A coroner is authorized by law to hold
an inquest only "when he has credible
infor nation that the dead body of a per.
son has been found within his county,
supposed to have come to his or her
death BY violence. This is the Language
of the statute. This body must have
been found, in the we'll defined, establish.
ed and everv day use of the term. If
person comes to his or her death in the
presence of others, easily accessible, and
the cause and manner of the death are
manifest, whether it be by sickness casu
atty or criminal violence at the hands of
smother, in all such cases neither the spir-
it nor the letter Of the statute contem.
plates nor authorizes an inquest to be
held upon the body The dead body is
not 'found." The cause and manner of
the death are known. Ifit is by crimi-
nal violence it is the duty of the proper
officers to arrest the guilty party at once
and prosecute him. E
In such case the Coroner's inquest can
accomplish nothing that can not be done
Wthe preliminary examination had be-
fore Justice Of the Peace or Police
Judge.
am we'll aware that a practice has
grown up all over the State, aud especial
ly in the larger cities, of holding an in
quest in almost every case of violent or
sudden death, let it occur however OPEN
ly and In public view it may.
lnquests in such cases are not author
lied bY Law, and the practice should cease.
44ISbey are not authorized, but accomplish
ln0 possible good; are often improper
intrusions and outrages on the feelings Of
the family and friends Of the deceased,
especially where post mortem examina-
ton is had; and these large and unneces-
sary costs are made to be paid out OF the
public funds.
1t is only, repeat, when the dead
body is found, supposed to have been
caused by violence, but the manner OF the
death unknown, that the statute author
ICES an inquest to be held.
Should the coroner 60 beyond his
power and hold an inquest not authorized
by law, I am of the opinion there is no
mode by which he could enforce payment
Of fees to him for such services"
