SAN Francisco. April 24.-The killing of
Charles De Young by j. NJ. Kalloch, in the
Chronicle Office last night, has produced a sem
sation here which has rarely been equaled The
young man had been on debauch for some
days past, drinking very heavily, and had made
frequent threats of his intention to shoot De
Young, but no attention was paid him as it
was simply regarded as the vaporing of a
drunken man. His Boosting was regarded
with more indifference from the fact that
since the shooting of his father last August
he has boosted from time to time that De
Young would feel his vengeance. De Young,
who heard of this, didn't pay the slightest at
tentiOn to the reports, and, as he always went
armed, possessed undoubted courage, and was
unusually quick in his movements, his friends
were not at all alarmed for his safety.
CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
The immediate cause of the tragedy that
startled and shocked the city last night is be-
Heved to be the recent appearance in this city
of a pamphlet entitled The Only Full Report
of the Trial of I. S. Kalloch, on the Charge of
Adultery" This pamphlet contained portrait
of Kalluch and the woman with whom he was
said to be intimate and pretended to give a
full history of the affair-dOings of the church,
Kallochs pulpit experience, arrest, srraign-
ment, trial and the result Its imprint was
Boston; Everlan & Co., 1851" but it was
generally regarded, with how much truth 1t Is
now impossible 10 say, that its appearance was
due to De Young who was known to have gone
East some time ago to hunt up facts in the
career of Kalloch. The pamphlet was extern
sively circulated and the Kslloch party was
wrought to quite
STATE OF DESPERATION.
De Young continued his vigorous assault on
Kalloch, and, as the time of his trial for the
shooting of the mayor drew near, he became
more aggressive, and Kalloch's friends became
oorrespondingly exasperated. There is no
doubt that the young man was urged on, more
or less by the desperate characters who have
recently had such set-backs in the arrest of
Kearney and the talk of impeaching the
mayor. and that they took advantage of his
bOasting and condition to put him up to the
deed. The workingmen made no effort to
disguise their feelings over the result, and are
gathered in groups, this morning, earnestly
discussing the situation.
DE YoUNG's MOTHER,
between whom and her son an unusually strong
affection existed, is Frustrated by the shock of
her sons murder That the end is not yet is
generally believed De Young's brothers are
courageous, and more blood will be split be-
fore the end. Great sympathy for her is felt
everywhere, and though De Young was most
cordially hated, his love for his mother was one
of the redeeming features in him, and many
words of sympathy are expressed.
THE MAYORS LIFE IN DANGER.
The shooting of Charles De Young by young
KallOch last night has created such excitement
in this city as has never been equaled before,
even mt the most stormy period of our history.
It exceeds in violence the storm of public pas
sion and agitation that succeeded the shooting
of Mayor Kalloch by De Young in August last,
and has increased to-day to such au extent that
no one can foretell what the ultimate conse-
quence may be. The feeling against the party
of which Kalloch and Kearney are leaders has
been growing stronger of late, and this assas-
sination has Infatuated the people so that the
mayors life is not considered safe from public
vengeance. Threats are freely expressed against
him and the entire sand lot party. Young
Kalloch is in Jail and is closely guarded.
