CONDENSED KILOGRAMS.

TELEGRAMs from San Francisco re-
garding the killing of Charles DeYoung, Of
the Chronicle, by I. NJ. Kalloch, son Of
Mayor 1. S. Kalloch, which occurred on the
2Sd, say the affair caused the most
intense excitement, greater even
than was produced by the
shooting of the elder Kalloch by
De Young few months ago. The immedi-
ate cause of the tragedy was the circulation
broadcast throughout the city, it is believed
by the agency of De Young, of the reprint
of pamphlet entitled The only full re-
port of the trial of I. s. Kalloch on the
charge Of adultery" originally printed in Bos-
ton from the stenographer's notes Of the trial.
The shooting took place in the counting
room of the Chronicle Office. Kalloch fired
five shots at De Young, only one of which,
the fourth, took effect. De Young did not
succeed in getting out his pistol until just as
the fatal shot was fired. The ball entered
his mouth and penetrated his brain,
causing death almost Immediately.
Young Kalloch is said to have been drinking
hard for some days previous to the shooting,
and freely expressed his design Of killing
De Young at the first favorable opportunity.
The murderer was arrested and lodged in
Jail.
FREDERICK GRILL was hanged at
Newton, N. j., on the 24th, for the murder
of his daughter in June last.

ATTENTION has been called to the
great mortality among children on the steam
ship Ohio, on its last voyage from Bremen
to New York, alleged to have been caused
by overcrowding and foul air. The steamer

dren under ten years Of age, thirteen Of

being investigated.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE Secretary of the Navy is report
ed as saying in recent conversation that he
feared he would be obliged to abandon the
idea of sending a ship-of- to st. Louis
for recruiting purposes; that his efforts to
nationalize the Navy were not meeting with
the permanent success that he anticipated,
as, while he had no difficulty in en-
listing all the boys he wanted, he
finds that the Western apprentices do not
take to salt water as freely as was
expected, and he is now constantly be-
sieged by their friends to permit their dis
charge, principally on the ground of home
sickness. From the records of the Depart
ment it appears thst about seven tenths of
the whole number of boys enlisted on the
Western rivers are now anxious to get back
to their homes, and the Secretary thinks that
he will be compelled to rely upon the At
lantic sea-board cities to furnish the young
recruits who shall man our future navies.

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.


CAPT. JOHN NJ. BoFINGER has made
. contract with Secretary Sherman, under
which he is authorized to raise all the aban-
doned property now lying in Red River,
Louisiana. This property consists of sunken
gunboats, cannon shell and shot thrown into
Red River above the falls at Alexandria,
La, during General Banks administration.
The contract also mentions the sunken
steamers Falls City, Ed F. Dix, and Emma,
formerly of St. Louis, and some
one hundred to one hundred and fifty other
steamers sunk before and during the War.
The gunboat Eastport, which the Captain
expects to raise, was the largest of the Mis-
sissippi fotilla, carrying some fourteen can
non, and being very heavily plated. She was
sunk with all her armament aboard. The
condition of the contract is that all material
recovered shall be sold at public auction,
either at St. Louis, Cincinnati or Chicago.

at 100000. Tue loss of goods in stock is esti-
mated at 100000. With few exceptions the
loss being total.
From reliable reports from the track of the
storm in Webster County alone the loss of life
will not fall short of 100 killed and 200
wounded, and it may exceed that number.
The total loss of property in the county will
reach the enormous figure OF $1,000, 900.
VARIOUS INCIDENTS.
A babe eighteen months old whose mother
was killed and friends all wounded, was
found yesterday in the ravine north Of town,
where it lay all night. 1t is now doing well.
Another little enid abont two years old was
yesterday afternoon found in tree-top,
where it had been nearly twenty -four
hours. 1t is considerably bruised, but will re-
cover. 1t is understood that it was to- day
and a half or three miles from Southtown. Its
aerial fight hence must have extended over
three miles. A wagon has been found that
was carried over four miles, and 3 section of
the iron smoke stack of the mill over three
and q half miles.

hundred cords of brush and stone. The stone
will be brought down from the company's

quarried. The track will then be lowered
to make the grade on the "Vermillion hill'
comparatively easy. The pile work will be
finished in about two weeks, and the COM

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT.

Having passed several sleepless nights,
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
Just the article needed, procured q supply
for the child. On reaching home and
acqualnting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly IN favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed in suffering and the parents with.
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse; and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion Of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept we'll, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practic.
ed upon her, has continued to use the
Syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. A sin.
gle trial of the Syrup never yet failed to
relieve the baby, and overcome the pre-
JUDGES of the mother. Sold bv ai,
Druggists, 26 cts q bottle.

Rlolland County Gazettc, Jan. 81.
Great excitement has reigned throughout
the week over the sudden though not alto
pe,her unlocked for calamity which has
Nbefallen J. q. Burbank. The facts Of bis
career and downfall, briefly stated, are ~
follows:
Mr.. Burbank c%a,n.gt. this territory some
seven years apo, .piasenlly without means,
and carried ON u government survey, from
which he G.tt,u several hundred dollars.
Soon after lie located a claim, q short dis
lance west of this place. In two years he
had spent his earnings, and was a
poor man. But he wa elected coun-
~ treasurer, an office which he held
until last July, being then compelled to
~relinquish it by order of the court. AL.
though the office during most of that time
was moi a legitimately paying one, still he
supported himself without o apparent
selfdenial; and when he finally stepped
down and out, the county was his i%nvolun.
tary creditor to the amount Of several
hundred dollars. s.
For the last three years he has been do.
ing a land business, being also clerk of the
court, q position which he still holds. To
make up deficiencies in county money. it is
now evident that he drew upon the money
entrusted to him by private individuals to
secure homestead, presumption, and timber
culture entries. There is probably ne man
in this vicinity whose blu illness has paid 30
largely during the last season az Mr..
Burbank's but he had acquired a reckless.
ness in handling other peoples money
which has sealed his ruin.
Last Tuesday it became too hot for him
here, and he left town, ostensibly for Fargo,
with five Germans and a Scandinavian,
whose money, it seems, he had appropriated
and with whom he had promised 10 60 to
Fargo and settle things. He bought a tick
ct to Glyndon, but was overheard inquiring
the fare to St. I ouis. When he had gone as
far as GAINESVILLE, where they change cars,
he gave his companions the clip, and took
the fret train towards Fergus Falls. He
asked Mr.. Neigler to pay his hotel bill at
GAINESVILLE, as he was in a great hurry,
promising to pay him the first time he saw
him. Mr.. Neigler, ignorant Of how things
really were, did. 90, and, if requested,
would doubtless have done still more.
This was the last seen Of 10. BurbanF.
He has probably swindled a hundred and
fifty men who have filed With him on land
in this vicinity. Repor. says he has even
changed U. s. land Office receipts, though
whether this could be proven or not We
are not prepared TO say. 1t 10 not generally
believed here that be carried much money
awav with him. atI
All those who have done business with
or through him will do well to investigate
for themselves.
Whittier the maj has gone. of course no
one here knows. He leaves a wife. who
belongs to one of our first families highly
respected by all who know her and, how.
ever dishonest and t%reacherous the man
may be, the community will still hold hel
in high esteem.
