A San Francisco Mystery.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.--Josiah Bacon,
treasurer of the Goodyear Dental vulcanite
company, of Boston, who came here a
short time ago from the east, was found on
the floor of his room at Baldwin's hotel
yesterday afternoon, with a pistol shot
wound in his abdomen. He had been dead
several hours. No firearm was found in
his rooms, and, as the hemorrhage was
entirely internal, there was no means of
Judging of his movements subsequent to
the fatal shot and nothing has as yet
transpired to throw any light on the affair.
He was a native of Massachusetts,, aged
forty-fve years.

Shaffer, the Wife Murderer, Attempts Sui
eide.

A Chambersburg dispatch of Monday
last says Shortly before 8 o'clock this
morning it was discovered by the prison
authorities that Hezekiah Shaffer, who is
to be hanged on Thursday next for the
murder of his wife last summer--the par
ticula,s Of which you have already pub
lished-had made an attempt to commit
suicide, by opening the main arteries on
his arms and legs with piece of very
sharp wire, which he had in some way
taken from broom left in his cell on some
occasion. The prison physician was at
once called in, and the flow of blood was
stopped. Had Shaffer made the attempt
in the night time the gallows, no doubt,
would have been cheated out of one of its
victims. He was reported to be delirious
at noon, but it is thought he will recover.
"A strict watch is kept over him now, of
course"

Just thirty years after this, Rev. DR..
Charles +. Allen, late President of
the State College, happened to step
into the Supreme Court room in Au-

Curious.

The Harrisburg Patriot states that
when the remains Of Mr.. Benjamin
Singerly, formerly State printer of
Pennsylvania, we're disin,erred a,
Pittsburg, a short time ago, for the
parpose Of removal to Philadelphia,
they were found to have undergone
petritication. Tie entire face and
form seemed as if chiseled in marble,
every feature and lineament being as
perfect as in life. Mr.. Singerly
weighed at the time of his death,
some Two years ago, nearly four hun
dred pounds, but the petrified corpse
weighed nine hundred and eighty
pounds, and q block and tackle were
found necessary 10 raise it from the
grave.

The charges of blacknailing that have been preferred against Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, appear to have something more than a foundation in mere gossip. He had evidently been in the nablt of asking a hand some percentage upon the salaries of nearly all his appoIiisees. The Sena- torial quarrel in that State is not happy thing to look upon.
