Tried for Manslaughter.

Benjamin James was tried yes
terday in the Seventeenth District
Court for the killing Of Thomas
McGorry on the 9th of the present
month. The evidence of the wit
nesses both for the people and the
defense was pretty consistent, and
showed substantially the following
facts: James on the morning of
the 9th inst. came into town from
Wilmington with crawfish for sale.
He devoted the day to selling his
fish and inbibing whisky, and in
the afternoon he was in the vicin.
ity of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road depot, making drunken
speeches, while many of the by
ISLANDERS amused themselves by
hootIng at him, and holloeing
"Pull down your vest" "Wipe of
your chin" etc. James would wan.
der from one side of the street to
the other, in search of those who
were jeering at him, and finally
getting angry he took off his vest
and throwing 1t down, issued a
general challenge to fight him
then and there. About this time

McGorry, who was acting as spe-
cial policeman for the depot, APP
preached rather hurriedly toward
James for the purpose, undoubtedly
of arresting him, holding a pair Of
handouts elevated in one of his
hands. When McGorry reached
James, according to the testimony
of one of the witnesses, McGorry
showed the handouts in James's
face. James then struck McGorry
in the face, the latter struck
back, and then caught bis
foot between the track and the
planking, and fell, spraining his
ankle. McGorry was then imme-
diately picked up and helped to a
seat, he complaining that his leg
was broken. On the 18th of Au.
gust he died, partly,as his attending
physician testified, from the sprain,
and party from an undermined
constitution.
The Grand Jury had indicted
James for manslaughter. He was
defended by F. H. Howard, Esq,
whom his Honor Judge Sepulveda
had appointed for that purpose.
The jury were out about five
minutes, and returned at the end
of that time with verdict of not
guilty.

Santa Ana Items.
from the Weekly Times.


One day last week L. Robinson
of Santa Ana, sent some speci men
stalks of corn to the Mechanics
Fair, San Francisco. They meas.
ured seventeen feet in length and
bore from two to four ears each.
The dedication of the Baptist
Church Of Santa Ana will take
place on the second Sabbath in
September, instead of the first, as
previously announced. The reason
the services are postponed is on ac-
count of the fact that the building
will not be completed.
The steamer Newport, on her
last trip to San Francisco, carried,
as part of her cargo, eleven and
one-half tons of honey, and the
shipments of the same article fiom
the depot this week have been ten
and one.half tons; making the to-
tai amount of honey exported from
this valley this week at twenty-five
tons.
We are glad to learn that Judge

chased the residence property OF

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

says: Thirty-two battaIions Of Russian re-
Inducements have arrived at San Stefano.
The arrangement concerning the fortresses
has failed in consequence Of the st. Peters,
burg Government disappearing of General
Todleben's projected retreat to Adrianople.
St. Petersburg dispatches of the 18th
convey the information that less warlike
feeling exists there as the result of Count
Shouvaloff's mission, and that Russia is
prepared to modify to a certain extent the
provisions of the San Stefano treaty.
A London dispatch of the 18th says:
The week, prolific of rumor, closes in uncer-
tainty, but with sanguine hopes of peace in
well informed circles. In others, however,
equally well advised, the pacific reports of
the last two days are regarded with grave
suspicion. They are held to be wholly ire
concilable with the positive action of Gen.
Todleben in his extremely peremptory de-
mands upon the Porte, his steady adj
vances of his troops towards Constanti-
nople, his evident preparations for an as
sault upon and seizure of the city. 1t was
remarked in parliamentary circles to-day
that it was impossible to fully credit the
Russian reports, and these pacific rumors
were probably put forth with the intention
of deceiving. However, they are generally
credited.

Burke, in the "History of Virginia"
says: 81 find that the Governor was
obliged to issue proclamation forbid
ding women to contract themselves to
two several men at one time For women
being yet scarce, and much in request,
this offence was becomingvery common;
whereby great disquiet arose between
parties and no small trouble to the Gov
eminent. 1t was therefore ordered that
the minister should give notice in his
church that what women soever shall use
any word or speech, tending to a con-
tract of marriage, to several persons at
one time, although not precise and legal,
yet so as might entangle or breed scruple
in their conscience, should, for such Of

An Irish Boys Romance.

In the death of w. S. O'Brien, says
the Alta- California, California lost
man whose peculiarly good fortune
equaled in romance the fabulous tale OF
the discovery of Aladdin's lamp. Born
in Ireland, near Dublin, about the year
1925, of humble parentage, he emigrated
to this country at a boyish age. On ar
irving at New York he had the choice
of entering store or going to Texas,
and he chose the former position. He
arrived in California on the 9th of July,
1S49, in the ship Faralinto. He was so
poor that he had to earn a few dollars
by assisting in discharging the cargo
from the vessel. Hewent to the mines,
and, in 1850, connected with j. G. Flood
and J. M. Walker, was concerned in
mining operations in Poorman's Gulch,
middle fork of Feather River. He re-
turned to San Francisco in the fall OF
1851, successfully engaging inthe liquor
business with Col. w. c. Hoff, and the
ship chandlery business with Capt. w.
J. Roemer In this latter was laid, to
a certain extent, the foundation of his
future immense wealth. In 1854, with
his old partner and friend, J. G. Flood,
he kept the Auction Lunchroom in
Washington Street, and in this business
he continued for IL years, in the mean
time closely watching the stock-market
and becoming interested in several
mines. In 1867 the partners gave their
undivided attention to mining, the re-
suit of which was that in few years
they drew to themselves such immense
wealth that the name and power of the
Bonanza Kings have become q house,
hold word all the world over. The
firm, whose wealth it is impracticable
to estimate, was composed of j. c.
Flood with one fifth interest), the late
w. s. O,Brien with one-fifth), j. s.
Fair with e-fifth), and John Mackey
(who purchased the share of j.. III.
Walker, of two-fifths). For some years
past Mr.. O'Brien took no very active
part in the control of the enterprises in
which he was engaged, although he was
extremely proud of the Bank of Nevada,
with its S1O,000,000 of capital. q
