REVEREND KALLocK SHOT,
And MortaIIy Wounded by Charles
r. DeHounE.

from San Francisco to-day, we learn
that the workingmen's candidate for
Mayor. Reverend Kalloch, was shot
and mortally wounded by Charles E.
De Yourg Of the San Francisco ChroR-
ieie. From the brief dispatch we gather
that De Young went to the residence OF
Kalloch this III morning, aud upon the
appearance of the latter at the door,
the former fired two shots at him. both
taking effect. Kalloeh's death Vas
momentnrily expected at the time the
dipatch was sent. 1t is known that
Kalloch was to speak IN public last
night and the probabilities are that the
murderous attack upon him was
prompted by some expression offensive
to De Young. on that occasion. The
news OF the shooting quickly spread, and
the widest excitement prevailed; De
Young being nssailed by the Working.
men and iearfully beaten. The timely
arrival Of II strong force OF police prob
ably saved him from death. 1t is pro-
posed AS measure of safety TO re-
move De Young to Alcatraz for con-
tincment, but the infuriated Working
men swear that in that case, they will
capture and summarily punish him on
the route. From the general and in
tense excitement produced by the affair
in the city, it would seem that few, il
any extenuating circumstances are con-
nected with the desperate act. but par
ticuIars will be Necessary before the
facts can be determined.
LATER-A report has reached here
this evening that Kalloch wounds
will not probably prove fatal.
The particulars of the shooting of
Knlloch hy Charles DE Young. as furn-
ished by telegraph, are in substance as
follows:
After Kalloch was nominated by the
Workiugmcn Of the city as their candi-
date for Mayor, Charles De Young in a
speech ut the State Convention of Hon
orable Bilks announced that no would
compel KnllocL's S withdrawal from tho
contest. Subsequently he notified Kali
loch that unless he withdrew he would
rnke up his Tecor,i in the Church. Kali
lock sent back word TO him to go ahead
that he could tell worse things about
the De Ioungs than they could bring
against him.
On Wednesday last tho Chronicle
came ont with n long article reviewing
Kalloch's 5 career in Boston and Kan
sas dwelling particularly on his report

ical and business record. On Thursday
