PORTLAND. August 2lst-Nate Griswold
committed suicide at junction City on Thurs
day last under peculiar circumstances. He
and a man named Williams owned saloon,
and Griswold had imagined for some time that
his partner Was trying to get him out of the
place and had been drinking heavily. The
night before the suicide Griswold went home
aud retired to bed about 10 o'clock. During
the night his wife heard some one walking on
the sidewalk in front Oft house, and getting
up ascertained it to be the barkeeper named
Casteel. She awoke her husband and told
him that Casteel was outside. The announce
ment had a wonderful effect on Griswold who
jumped out of bed and attempted to hide,
telling his wife that Casteel was goipg to arrest
hlm for setting fire to warehouse which was
destroyed a few nights previous. Mrs. Girls
void, alarmed at the statement and the
actions of her husband, lit light; but as soon
as she succeeded in Lighting the lamp he hastily
extinguished the flame by blowing it out, and
charged his wife with acting in completely
with Casteel to secure his arrest lie said
that the Lighting of the lamp was precon-
certed signal arranged by them to accomplish
such purpose, and then drove his wife out
of the house. He then sent word to man
named Craw that he did not want him to
come about him any more, and swore that he
would kill the first man that ventured to
come into the house. Early in the morning
Craw, who is brother in-law of Griswold,
went to the house with neighbnr named
Kaiser, when, to their horror, Griswold was
found upstairs lying on the floor, his throat
cut from ear to ear. 1t is not generally sup
posed that he fired the warehouse, but that
he imagined so, and that he was to be arrest
ed. while delirious with liquor.

THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

The reorganization of the Executive
Committee of the State Central Committee
is proceeding in manner which will no
doubt be approved by the committee,
which meets next Wednesday in San Fran
cisco for the purpose of adjusting this
matter. The new appointments have been
made with the advice and concurrence of
the most independent and reputable men,
bers of the party, and they are such as can
be heartily accepted and supported every
where. The committee when it meets
will doubtless indorse the changes which
have been made, and it will also probably
resolve upon immediate and vigorous &C.
ton as regards the work of the campaign.
There is still an abundance of time, but in
view of the Importance OF the contest and
the activity of the opposition it is the
part of wisdom to force the fighting from
the start.

Endorsed the Cincinnati platform, and did
not adopt a special platform for the Con-
gressional canvass, though it is understood
that an effort was made to introduce green

As the Cincinnati platform is uncompro.
misingly hard money and against repudia-
ton, so far as language can make it, the
Democrats of the Second District will be
obliged to get off that platform if they
want to make an alliance with the fat

against kearney appear to have given
Glascock a rather conditional and ambigu.
GUS Endorsement, which may mean any,
thing or nothing. The nomination is not
a strong one. Clunie would have made
far better candidate. But Clunie has evil

THE SOLAR ENGINE NJ. Mouchot,
whose progress in the solution of the en-
ticing problem Of utilizing solar heat as a
motive power received distinguished recog-
milton at the late International Exhibition
at Paris, is still at work perfecting his ap-
paratus. Fro0 published accounts we
CLEAN that, since May of last year, he has
been carrying on experiments with his
solar receivers near Algiers. His smaller
mirrors so m. diam. have been success
fully employed, we are told, for various
technical operations not requiring a tenn
perature exceeding 400 or 500. Among
these operations are specifically mentioned
the fusion and the calcination of alum, the
preparation of benzoic acid, the purifica-
ton of linseed oil, the concentration of
syrups, the sublimation of sulphur, the
distillation of sulphuric acid, and the car
bonization of wood in closed vessels His
large apparatus q SO m. diam. is said to
have been substantially improved Re-
ferring to its performance, it is reported
that in November last it raised 35 liters of
cold water to the boiling point in so min.
utes and an hour and half later showed
a pressure of eight atmospheres. Some
what later, Mouchot is reported to have
reformed with it the distillation of % liters
Of wine in so minutes, producing four
liters of brandy. As regards the produc-
ton of mechanical effect, the following
statements are made: Since March last the
receiver in question mas been operating
horizontal engine without expansion or
Condensation at the rate of l20 revolu-
tions per miaute, developing pressure of
8 3 atmospheres.

victed of murder in the first degree and
has been sentenced to die. No showings
that can now be made will justify the
Governor in interfering with the process OF
the Courts, unless they are of a nature to.
require from him the pardon OF the defend
ant. All arguments derived from the
escape of Sprague's co-defendants are
necessarily irrelevant The failure Of justice
in one or in two cases cannot be urged as
reason for permitting third failure. Ii
Sprague is guilty it follows that he ought
to suffer the penalty OF his guilt, and this
without regard to the fate of others. That
equally guilty men should have escaped is
certainly cause for regret, but it cannot be
a justification for allowing him to battle
justice in like manner.
Ii any reasonable doubt existed as to the
guilt of Sprague we should be very re-
luctant to risk an opinion which might do
him injustice. But we regard this case as
singularly clear, and we are compelled, at
ter perfectly dispassionate and unpreJu-
diced examination of it, to declare that we
can perceive 10 ground whatever for doubt
ing the entire justice of the verdict which
condemned him, or of the sentence passed
upon him. In fact SO cumulative and crush
ing is the evidence which fastens upon him
the inspiration and execution of the crime,
that to deny his guilt under the eircum-
stances is almost equivalent to denying
that More was murdered at all.
We can recall no case in which there APP
peared q more entire want of justifica-
tion for the invocation of Executive Glenn
ency. To interfere with the Courts in
such case must threaten the administra-
ton of the laws with paralysis. For if
in SO clear and patent case it is not possible
to get the law executed, what hope can
there be in cases where the grounds OF
clemency may appear very much stronger?
The position of Governor Perkins in the
matter is extremely painful and irksome,
but despite the recklessness of assertion
and accusation which has marked the de-
tense, and which has caused some weak
minded people to imagine that there must
be some fire where there is SO much smoke,
it appears to US that the course of the Ex-
ecutive should be perfectly plain, and that
a careful examination of the facts and the
evidence must have upon his mind TIE
effect which We believe unavoidable when
ever the matter is candidly inquired into
with single eye to the ascertainment of
the truth.

THE Bitter BIT.

1t is the impression of detectives that
the stories of the victims of many swindles
require to be taken with allowance, for
that the real incentive to a great many
foolish acts which result in the fleeing of
the operators, is really the desire of
swindling somebody else. That such a
disposition is not uncommon is shown in
the fact that the most successful swindles
in the shape OF advertising lodges have
always been those the projectors of which
promise to furnish counterfeit money or
notes or other machinery for cheating to
correspondents. Smart rogues know that
when man is caught out in q game of
this kind he is generally ashamed and
afraid to make any fuss over his loss. 1t
would seem that NJ. Donadieu of San
Francisco, who was recently robbed of
So 600 by two Italians or Austrians, had
himself been in this category. His story
as told by himself demands an amount OF
greenness and stupidity on his part almost
eupSIAuuldn- II lldheS MIN out TO De
altogether too gullible, in fact But the
story as told by the thieves is
really far more consistent with the the
DRY referred to above as being held by
many experienced detectives. The
sFindlers themselves allege that they
eaught NJ. Donadieu by proposing to him
smart trick to be played upon one of
themselves, who for that purpose took the
role OF a stranger of wealth and simplicity.
They say that NJ. Donadieu bit greedily
at the bait, and thought it would be an
excellent job to relieve the rich greenhorn
of some of his money. They say that it
was this idea OF robbing somebody else
which lured N. Douadieu into the trap,
and in fine they put a very different color
upon the story. OF course, even if this
account were true, it would not make their
own actual crime any the less, and it NAV
be fabrication Of theirs, brought forward
to blacken the character of NJ. Donadieu
because their attempt upon his pocket has
proved disastrous. If so, it is a very
malicious invention, for it puts the un-
fortunate victim in the light of fool who
had all the disposition to be a rogue too.
This may be libel upon NJ. Donadieu,
but it is certain that the detectives affirm
the existence of just such cases to be very
much more common than the world sus.
poets, and that many plausible story OF
robbery which gets into the papers is but
disguise to conceal the TACT that some in.
