STATE GARDENER.

EDS. RECORD UNION Under the above
heading appeared letter in the Daily Bee
last evening, signed by Justice" in which
the writer appeared to advocate the retention
of Mr.. O'Brien for the Office of State Car
dener. do not wish to bring this matter into
a newspaper fight, but simply to state that
in my humble opinion the statements OF
Justice" are made in very bad taste, and
his bringing religion and nationality into the
question is out of place. There are candi-
dates now in the field for the Office of State
Gardener as fully competent as Mr.. D Brien,
as the testimonials and recommendations at
present in the hands of the State Capitol
Commissioners will show. 1t is said to the
victors belong the spoils." Now, if there are
good, competent Republicans who are appli-
cants for this office or position, why not give
it to them? Surely the Capitol grounds
would be as safe in the hands of such one
as in the hands of Mr.. O'Brien. l am also
informed, since Justice" sees fit to refer to
it, that Mr.. O'Brien was one of the delegates
in the last County Convention held at Sacra-
mento. AS to getting Republicans to sign a
petition, that is easy enough. Let us leave
the matter to the good Judgment of the Com
missioners. REPUBLICAN.

STATE GARDENER.

EDS. RECORD U MON An article signed
"Justice" is published, claiming that the
position of State Gardener is not a political
one, as it is an Office filed by appointment
made by three high State officials. If this is
not political Office what one is? "Justice"
urges the propriety of retaining Mr.. O'Brien
at least until the artistic plan of the new
Capitol Park grounds is completed. In this
connection l would suggest an improvement
in the plan by placing in the grounds some
walks for pedestrians, which do not now ap-
pear either in the grounds or on the diagram.
So far 1 see only carriage drives. l hope also
to see some change in the kinds of trees and
shrubbery planted. There are orange, lemon,
palm and many other trees found in private
gardens in the city which all would be glad to
see duplicated in the Capitol grounds. As to
petitioners, | have not seen Mr.. O'Brien's
list, but / have seen those of Erastus Par
sons and [ do unhesitatingly :ay have never
seen on any petition in my life better class
of subscribers. It is signed by very many
leading and substantial Democrats, when it
is well known that MIR. Parsons has ever been
an unwavering Republican. AS to compe-
tency 1 believe him to be fully as competent
as any of his competitors. EQUITY.

PORTLAND. January 16th.-The residence

tie of the contents were saved. Loss, 81, $50 !;

man named John Darby. The particulars
of the crime are too disgusting to be reduced
to writing. The populace were and are much
excited, and there is mach talk of lynch-law.
Darby is in jail. SO excited We're the people
that he waived examination before magis-
trate, and stands committed without bail.
Stevens was an inofensive old man, much
addicted to strong drink, and when on his
sprees his cabin was the resort of dead-beats
and the lowest order of sots, and in drunken
orgie he was inhumanly dealt with and beat
to death.

Damage from storms.


Damage from storms.
SEATTLE, January 12th-The depth of
snow up to this morning is 50 inches. 1t
commenced raining at 9 O'Clock, and has
been raining gradually ever since, the snow
settling gradually. The barometer marks
80 r. with every indication of a heavy rain
fall A light wind is prevailing from the
south. The wires are all down. The first
mail since Thursday was received this even
ing in this city and other towns on the sound.
A large number of old buildings have fallen
from the weight of snow. The damage,
however, is light throughout the farming dis
tricts. A large number of barns and out
buildings have been demolished, and in some
instances stock has been killed, while large
amount of hay has been exposed to the
weather. Farmers will be the principal
sufferers. 1t is feared that should the snow
go off suddenly, as now seems probable,
much damage will result from freshet on
the river bottoms Aside from the unprece-
dented heavy snowfall, the weather the past
two weeks has been one degree below the
freezing point There have been no heavy
winds to speak of.
SECOND DISPATCH.l
SEATTLE, January 13th.-The snow is melt
ing rapidly, under the influence of warm
southerly wind and occasional rain. The dam
age done by the recent storm, so far as Seat
tie is concerned, amounts to about 81, 000
The buildings demolished consist or two
warehouses, three blacksmith shops, a mill
shed and several outbuildings and awnings.
More or less damage was also done at
Olympia, Tacoma, Port Townsend Stella
COON, Snohomish and the several mill ports,
the exact amount of which, as also through
out the farming districts, cannot be definitely
ascertained. Two deaths so far have been re-
ported, one the case of a young man en-
ployed as clerk in the store of Ezra
Locker, at Puyallup. who on Wednesday
night started out to take some provisions to a
destitute family, and getting lost persisted in
the snow, the body being found the next
morning. The other was a man named
Mason, of Portland who started from Kalama
afoot over the Northern Pacific Railroad for
Tacoma, his body being found on Sunday
near Yelm Station standing erect in the snow
up to his waist, in which position he had
been literally chilled to death.
Two Indians on the Tullalip reservation got
involved in quarrel during last week over
bottle of whisky obtained from white men,
resulting in the death of one of them and the
fatal wounding of the other.
Snow shovelers during the recent storm
here were paid from 80 cents to 81 80 per hour.

Execution at Sa, Eafael-WiIIiamD cver
Hanged for the Murder of Herman


SAN RAFAEL, January 16th.-Wm. Dever,
was one of the hardest cases among the San
Francisco Barbary Coasters. In September,
1873, he was sentenced to San Quentin for
three years. He was then aged 26 years.
The prison record reports that he is q native
of Pennsy lvania, and laborer. The doomed
man, who murdered Herman Kohler, fore.
man of the California Furniture Company,
in the State Prison. was brought TO side
room on the second floor Of the Courthouse
at 1890. The last rites were then admins
tered by the priests In the meantime the
iail-yard was filled with spectators. The
Sheriff and four deputies went on the scat
fold and made an examination of the straps
and pinions. Dever was supported to the
scaffold by two deputies, the priest walking
in advance. The prisoner looked thin and
annotated, and was unable to stand alone.
The prisoner had nothing to say on the scat
fold. and he needed but little support when
the Sheriff and deputies were adjusting the
moose and putting on the black cap. There
was no delay in fixing the moose or black cap,
and very few words were spoken by the
priests on the scaffold. At five minutes after
| o'clock the lever was moved and the trap
dropped. A sudden thud was heard. The
neck was instantly broken. Thadoctors felt
the pulse which ceased to beat ir}the slightest
degree after five minutes had elapsed. Then
the body was lowered into pine coffin. The
moose and black cap removed, DR.. Tallafferro,
County Physician, felt the pulse. The body
was placed in the hands of the Coroner. The
physician says that Dever suffered little or
no pain. The general expression is that
the prisoner exhibited nerve and self-pos-
session on the scaffold. This is Sheriff Tun-
steads fourth hanging. The last audible
words of Dever were to the Sheriff. He
simply said, "Do your duty sharp"
