ASSASSINATION.

Rev. l. M. Kalloeh Shoots Charles DeYoung.
San Francisco, April 23.-Jnst before
So'clock this evening Chas. DeYoung en-
tered tho business Office Of the Chronicle
on the ground floor, corner Of Kearney and
Bush streets, and stood talking with some
gentlemen leaning against the counter.
Directly the door opened and I. M. Kalloch
entered, and drawing a pistol without, We
learn, speaking word began firing at De-
Young. The latter ran through the gate
of the counter to the desk inside, Kalloch
firing at him as he run. On reaching the
desk De- oung turned to face his opponent
with pistol in his hand, when Kalloch,
leaning over the counter, fred again, the
ball striking DeYoung in the mouth. Kali
loch then started for the door. DeYoung
raised his pistol as If to fire, but apparently
his strength failed him, for the pistol was
not discharged, and, sinking backward, he
tell on the floor. The bystauders went to
his assistance, but the bail had evidently
pierced the base Of the brain, and in few
moments he expired.
As Kalloch ran out of the door he was
seized by the citizens, and at the same mo-
mont an officer came up, took him in Gus
tody and conducted him to the city prison,
where he was locked up
News of the murder flew through the
city like the wind, and in few minutes
the streets in the vicinity of the Chronicle
Office were crowded with the people eager
to learn the particulars Of the affair. Po-
Ticemen were at once stationed at the doors
to keep out the iuquisitive crowd, and only
few personal friends and reporters were
admitted to the rear office. NJ. H. De-
Young, brother of the deceased, reclined
on a lounge, surrounded by friends, evil
IDENTIFY overcome by the tragedy, but with
dry eyes and calm, though strained, voice.
He was not present at the time of the
shooting, having left home after supper
few minutes later than Charles.
The deceased lay on the floor, bis face
and breast dabbled in blood, his eyes
closed and face wearing calm expression,
noticeable in the case of those dying from
gun-shot wounds. Only one wound was
found on his person, although at least four
shots were fired by Kallocb, two having
pierced the glass door and partition of the
Office and the third lodged in tho window
casing.
Young Kalloch, On being arrested, was
as the arresting officer remarked, the cool
est man he ever saw, re still carrying the
smoking pistol in his hand, which he sur.
rendered to the officer on bis way to the
station house. He observed strict reticence
aud, on being shown to his cell, positively
refused to have any intercourse
whatever with representatives Of the
press. 10 the absence of any explanation
from the assassin as to the cause of the
act, it is generally understood to be at
tributed to pamphlet which has recently
been circulated about the city attacking
Mayor Kalloch, father of the DeYoung
slayer. During bis recent visit east it is
believed that the deceased devoted a great
deal of his attention to gathering up mat
ter concerning the past life of Mayor Kali
loch for the presumed purpose of either
using it at the expected trial of the deceased
on the charge of shooting Kalloch last Au-
gust or making it subserve jo urnalistic
purposes. The pamphlet above referred to
was document of some sixty pages ard
recounted the details of the Kalloch seal
dal in Boston and other matters of a scan-
dalous nature. The pamphlet was apony.
nous, but young Kslloch evidently consid.
cred that the deceased was responsible for
its publ cation and acted accordingly.
