On the 18th In San Francisco Mrs.
Laura De Force Gordon was engaged In
defending u prisoner and the jury
brought in q verdict Of not guilty. OF
her appearance the San Francisco
Chronicle says: "when halt an hour
had been spent in the vain endssvor to
restore order. Mrs. Gordon resumed her
address. paying exclusive attention to
the Jury, appearing to entirely forget the
audience, which was SC critical that the
least discriminating convention could
easily have picked out q Supreme Bench
from the front row OF seats. II the fem
mime competitor had any fears OF her
her hearers, she skillfully concealed
them. She appeared the embodiment
Of self-possession; spoke in a clear and
pleasant voice. and followed the thread
OF her argument with q remarkable
steadiness. Many IN ambitious young
lawyer Of the opposite sex making his
frst speech to o jury would have been
glad to have felt the same freedom. She
had taken copious notes OF the speech OF
the opposing counsel, and from the
memoranda constructed u logical batter

The Bullet at Grantsvllle.
Rss.s Rirsr Rsraiis. Aug. IS.

From w. F. Dyer and Sam C%rescenzo,
who returned from Grantsville yestsr-
day, we have information Of the shooting
and killing Of q man at that place about
IL o'clock on Wednesday. but have been
unable to learn the names OF either OF
the parties. both OF whom were miners.
1t seems there had been q quarrel or
difficulty Of some sort between the two
men, and both were in q saloon at the
time indicated. when u OF them
started of for the purpose OF arming
himself with q weapon. During his alb
sence the other man entered In CONVEX.
sation with q friend and vas sitting In a
chair talking. when shortly the belliger-
ent individual returned with q weapon,
and at once drew. shot and killed the
wrong man. the ball entering the fore
head. The man doing the shooting at
once started to run, but was pursued
and arrested before he had gone far.
The affair created o good deal Of excite.
msnt. and for q time the prisoners life
was not altogether safe. Tho Deputy
Sheriff managed to get him In Q tunnel,
and there held him until in the night,
when II is believed the officer left with
his charge for Belmont, the county seat,
where be will DO safely held for the
laws disposition. This being the first
fatal result from the bullet In Grants.
Vile, and tho life OF an innocent man
sacrificed. It is very natural that the
affair aroused the indignation OF the
people. These are the circumstances oil

Tho Distress In Ireland.

LONDON, August l6.-In the House OF
Commons on Saturday o'Connor Power
called attention to the medical reports
in regard to the condition OF the fever
stricken districts in Mayo and other
parts OF the west Of Ireland, and moved
a resolution that It was essential that
effective sanitary arrangements DO i'm.
mediately made. Thomas Sexton, Lib
eral Home Rule member for Sligo coun.
~, seconded the resolution. Forster,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, said the dis.
tress had been much exaggerated. The
government has sent an efficient medical
staff. He would DO willing to have Q
resolution placed or record to the effect
that In the opinion OF the House the
present condition Of the agricultural
population OF Mayo, Sligo and other
parts OF the west demanded the imms-
diate attention Of the government. For.
ster incidentally spoke Of the contribu-
tions made by the Irish.Americsns to
relieve the distress in Ireland, and said
English laborers would probably not
have done so much for their own people
under similar circumstances. Power
accepted Forster's resolution, which was
then agreed to.
