Fatal Shooting at BOdie.
BoDIE, Aug. 23.-A serious diff
Guilty took place here last night be-
tween the Jupiter company aud
the Owyhee company, resulting
in the death of one man and slight
ly wounding of two more. 1t
seems that the south end OF the
Jupiter crosses the north end of the
Owyhee claim, and the latter COM
menced to sink new shaft on the
grounds in dispute. They were
warned off by Superintendent DAILY
of the Jupiter, but continued sink
ing. Yesterday Daily had a shanty
built aud carried on to the ground
and placed over the new
Owyhee shaft, and employed
two or three men-fighters, put
ting them under the foreman of
the Jupiter, in the shanty to hold
it. The owners of the Owyhee
claim armed themselves last night
and met in a cabin near the old
shaft, and about IL O'clock u noise
was heard in that direction, but
soon ceased. About 2 A. NJ. the
fighters from the Jupiter made a
charge on the cabin occupied by
the Owyhee men, and during the
melee John Goff, one Of the owners
OF the Owyhee, was shot in the head
and Instantly killed. The excite
ment has been very great. There
has been no time that the laws
could not be enforced here, and the
civil officers have always proved
themselves equal to any emergency
that has arisen. They were
promptly on the ground this morn
ing and arrested nearly all the
men engaged in the killing.

Considerable anxiety prevails as
to the safety of the grain crop, ow-
ing to rain. Early this morning 1t
commenced raining again, which
has continued without cessation.
Should rain continue, considerable e
damage to the standing grain is an
tieipated, which, with the loss al
ready sustained by rust, will prove
a severe blow to hundreds OF farm.
ers in the afflicted regions.
Tas Canal scheme.
NEW YORK, August 27.-The
inter.ooeanic canal project has loci
none of it's vitality as the upper
most theme. The Times says
Those who ventured upon the first
step of subscription are at liberty
to take back their deposits anC
await further developments, while
Lesseps makes that Investigation
which ought to have preceded, in
stead of following, the beginning o.
the enterprise. Lesseps undertook
to sweep all other routes out of tht
field; to disregard the results Ol
careful surveys aud conclusions o
the best informed experts; to builc
on assumptions or imperfect infor
nation, and to organize I
predestined failure, to the EN-
barrassment and postponement o.
all other plans. Present indica
tions point to speedy collapse O
the whole scheme, and 1t is bette
that the failure should be accepted
now, than compelled, after mil
lions have been expended on tn,
!, impracticable task, to the ruin ant
encouragement OF those who hat
yentured into 1t. The scheme wa
conceived In intrigue and hatchet
intrigue, and not the great name o
[. Lesseps, nor the brilliant promise
of prospect uses and circulars
could make it command the conf
dence of the keen-eyed capitalists
least of all In this country, wher
something is known of the isthmu
and of the plans for cutting 1t wit
canals, and where Intelligent inter
est is taken in the subject.
The World says on the same sub
ject: Appleton says the route q
the proposed canal Is liable to b
changed, and that M. Blauchot, VIII

not be unfair to assume that Hlan
