Horrible Death at Grass Valley,

GRASS VALLEY, October 6th.-A horrible
affair occurred Tuesday night about midnight,
whereby man supposed to be William II.
O'Brien, who lived in a cabin near the edge
of town. was burned to death. 1t is not
known how it happened, but it is supposed
that the man must have been intoxicated,
and by some means set his cabin en- fire while
sleeping. He was badly burned before any
assistance came. George Crandall, who lives
near, was returning home when he discovered
the burning building. He ran and opened
the door, when out walked O'Brien, envel-
oped in flames from head to foot. The man
uttered no sound, but walked back and forth
with hands folded. Crandall, seeing his
clothes still burning, ran and procured some
water, which he threw upon the man, when
he fell to the ground. He remained in a sit
ting position few minutes, when he expired.
The remains were charred and blackened be-
yond recognition. His flesh was fairly roast.
ed, and in places the bones of his legs were
visible. The deceased is supposed to have
relatives living in San Francisco. He was an
old resident of this vicinity

Worthy Master Spillman submitted his
yearly report. Attention is called to the
necessity of cooperative effort in the further
ance of the objects of the organization, and
in this connection the aid received from SUBJ
ordinate Oranges is fully appreciated. He
recommends that committee be appointed
to confer with the Legislature, requesting
that body to convert the State Prison labor
into the manufacture of jute cloth and sacks,
thereby making the prison self-sustaining
institution. The proposed amendments to
the National Grange Constitution are en-
bodied in the report, the effect of which is to
confer upon the Fourth Degree Oranges the
right to confer the first, second, third, fourth
and fifth degrees of the Order, and upon the
county or district Oranges the authority to
confer only the sixth degree, and the State
Oranges the seventh degree.
Annual reports of the Secretary and Treas
urer were read and placed on file.
After the regular business, remarks were
made on the good of the Order by /. Russell.

The Match Tax.

Boston Herald,
The tax on matches has always beer
unpopular. When the cent a-bunch
tax was enacted as a part OF the reve
nue. improvisation Of war time the cry
was raised that the burden OF the tax
would fall on the laboring man whose
daily solaee o! the pipe requked an i'm.
meme supply OF luc fers. A wave Of
indignation also swept over England
when an anxious chancellor Of the rev.
enue proposed . similar tax. The vast
quantity of matches consumed In this
country can be imagined when 1t is
known that the tax OF q cent bunch
yields . daily revenue Of nearly $l0,.

sent the first cost and the msnufactu-

The large manufacturers are said to
favor the retention OF the tax, as its

Hin amount Of capital not so easily OBJ,
tainable by small makers.
The removal OF the tax Is Likely to

the ret,y sum now obtained outside Of

business. To importers Of European
