Murders and Suicides.

dispatch from San Francisco, Nov.
ii says: Harry, son Of Col. Younger,
of San Jose, age Is, was shot by Elton
Moody, boy about the same age, last
night, and died this evening. The
trouble arose from Younger ordering
Moody off his fathers premises, where
Moody was hunting.
J. 0. Glenn and Waliupi Astorigo

pi, CAL, this afternoon.
Mr.. Evile, a music teacher at Lone

tinr his throat, to-day.
jose Ii Kerr, teamster, was shot
and killed to-day at Cherry Creek
New.
W. A. Meldrum, assistant loren an
on the Chronicle. of this city, shot him
self III the composing room to day with
probably fatal effect.

The Close Of the Paris Exhibition
The Paris Exhibition closed finally
on Sunday evening, and it is announced
that the total receipts from admissions
since the opening have been II, 653, TAG
francs, or $3.50, ,759. The receipts
from admission to the Philadelphia Ex-
hibition were 53,ol3, 723 so, or 81 2S2,-
874 so more han those of Paris. Tie
Philadelphia Exhibition was open only
1853 days, while the Paris Exhibition
was open 1874 days The average daily
receipts of the Centennial were about
$24, 600; those of the Paris Exhibition
were about $4,000. Of course the
number of visitors at Paris was greater,
as the admission was only one franc.
But the Centennial, without govern
ment aid, more than paid expenses;
while the Paris Exhibition, aided large
iy by the government, will require ad-
ditiOnal aid to pay u expenses.
