CALIFORNIA ELECTION.
The State Republican-KallOch
Certainly Elected Mayor.

SAN Francisco, September 5.-Ihe
returns from the city up to = p. NJ.
to-day, place Perkins ! ,343 and KallOch
353 ahead Of Flint. The vote is over
half counted. No reason to change the
previous estimates OF the result in the
city. Perkinskeep gaining on Glenn and
White in the interior, and is likely to
have 10000 plurality over either.
SAN Francisco, September 5.-Three-
fourths of the vote in the city and State
are counted. Perkins is leading Glenn
about IL 800 and White about the same.
The completion of the count will in
crease Perkins plurality to $1,000 or
$4,000 probably. In the city he will
gain on and in the country on White.
All the State ticket will 90 with the
head, except the Justice, which cannot
vet be determined. 1t is now probable
that the Republicans will elect all the
Congressman, although it is
very close in the city district.
The Republicans elect railroad COM
missioner in the northern district, and
the Workngmen theirs in the city and
southern district. The Legislature is
still in doubt. Kalloch continues to in
crease his lead and is elected beyond a
doubt. The WOrkingmen's chances are
best for Sheriff, Auditor, Collector and
County Attorney, and are sure on the
District Attorney. The Republican will
probably get the balance except two or
three Supervisors and School Directors.
The Superior Judges are divided.

THE TRIPLE KILLING.
No New developments at Waynes-
vile, and the Excitement Sub
siding,

WAYNEsvILLE. September Our
community suffered its full of horrors
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the
knowledge Of the suicide of young
Anderson marked the climax Of the ex-
citement. The coming of the husband
and father of two of the victims, Mr..
Weeks, and the bringing Of Dan Ander-
son on the evening train were events
that did little to feed the
flames of excitement, and they are
beginning to flicker. Mr.. Weeks had
provided caskets for the bodies, but was
told by the undertaken who had pre-
pared them for the grave that change
would be impossible. The remains of
the young matricide and suicide will be
buried by Mrs. Martha Anderson, the
grandmother, an aged and highly re-
spected Quakeress, who gave brief testi-
mony at the inquest, and who had been
so kind in the treatment of her sons
divorced wife, the unfortunate Mrs.
HATTIE, that the latter did not hesitate to
appeal to her for advice when ID. r. An
dersOn made Overtures for remarriage.
She was very proud of the boy. Ander-
son will be kept under arrest, though
he is not disposed to say anything.

the Globe Democrat from Carthage, Mo,
states that David Collins, James Greer,
VIM. Spencer and W. n. Smith, farmers,

the vicinity of Carthage. Bonds in the

cepted for the further appearance Of the
defendants.

Correspondence of the Register
While a gang of road hands were re-
pairing roads near Roly's Mil, yester-
day afternoon about o'clock, there
arose dispute between Steve Moran
and Lewis Yearkey about ten cent
prize package, which terminated in
Moran dealing few heavy blows with
a shovel upon the head of Yearkey,
which felled him to the ground uncon-
scious. Dr. Bland was called and
dressed the wounds, and from present
indications we predict a favorable re-
cOvery.
Young Moran and his father were ar
rested and brought before Squire Chen
wort, of this place, last night about 10
o'clock and preliminary examination
held, which resulted in acquitting the
father, while the son, Steve Moran, was
found guilty of an assault with intent to
kill, and was committed to jail in default
of 81 900 bail TO await the action OF a
higher tribunal.
