GUILTY.
Farr Convicted of Murder in the First
Degree.

AT the coming in of the Superior court yes
terday morning, Judge Bonney charged the
jury in the Farr case. The charge was very
able one, clearly pointing out the distinction
between the different degrees of homicide and
setting forth the principles whichis houdlsg uide
the jury in considering the evidence in the
case.
The jury retired shortly before II o'clock,
aud after being out enc hour and fifty-four
minutes, returned verdict of murder in the
first degree.
1t is said that a majority of the jury on the
first ballot voted for the verdict which was
finally returned, and that the minority was
equally divided between murder in the second
degree and manslaughter. A unanimous con-
cluson was arrived at on the third ballot
Farr heard the verdict without betraying any
emotion. If his counsel do not decide to file
exceptions probably he will be sentenced to-
day.

Three important State elections will be
held as follows: In Ohio, for Governor
and Legislature, Oct. IL; in Virginia, for
Governor and Legislature, Nov. Z; IN
New York, for Legislature and subordi-
nate State officers, Nov. s. In Ohio the
Democrats have tt overcome a Republic
can majority Of S,657 over the vote of
1879 and a majority Of 25, l29 over Gar
fields vote last Fall. There are four
tickets in the field, including the Green
back and Temperance. In Virginia the
fight 10 between the Democracy proper
on the one hand and the coalition be-
tween the followers of Senator Malone
and the Republicans on the other. If
the Readjusters (Democrats) and Repub-
licans are fully in harmony and will vote
accordingly, the vote last Fall for Presi-
dental Electors. which was as follows,
may ~foreshadow the result: Democratic
vote, 96,449; Readjusters, 3l,527; Re-
publican, 81, This would give Ma
homes party a working majority Of
l9.09S, but it is extremely doubtful if
the Readjusters can claim the same
strength now. they had at the election
last Fall. The result in Ohio will more
or less influence the vote in New York
and Virginia.

Eugene l.. Sullivan to be Appoint
ed Resident Minister In Mexico
Heavy Rains at Victoria - The
Cereal Crops Ruined-The Indian
Troubles in Arizona.
Especial to the SENTINEL

Ban Francisco, Oct. cit is rumored
that Eugene L. Sullivan, Collector Of this
Port, and father-in-law OF Senator John p.
Jones Of Nevada, is to be appointed resi-
dent Minister in Mexico. The appoint
ment Is n that has peculiar attractions
for Califcrnians. Congressman Pacheco
and Representative Houghton, from
the Southern District Of California, were
candidates for the position, Senator Sam.
uei Sears Of Marin County. the anti-debris
agitator, it is said will succeed Mr.. Sulli-
van as Collector.
A Victoria dispatch to the Colonist from
the main land shows that the recent heavy
rains have almost entirely ruined the
cereal crops throughout the province. On
the island the crops were safely housed.
A Tucson dispatch says General Will
cox and staff arrived here last night. Ber-
nard telegraphs from Soldiers Hole, via
Tombstone. that the rain had softened the
trail badly, and that he cannot move with
ont losing his animals. He will move to-
day. The Indians are in the south end Of
Chiricahua. 1t looks as II the Indians
will get over the Mexican line. 1t can
hardly be possible that the Mexican Gov
eminent will object to u following these
murderers within their territory. I will
not cross the line with any disrespect to
their Government, but with the intention
Of Furnishing these murderers and robbers,
and to enable me to do this I will co.
operate with any Mexican troops that will
assist, but will not turn back until I have
the Indians. or until I am ordered to do
SO by proper authority. The Mexican
Consul at Tucson has autographed to Chi
huahua and sent ~~couriers to different
points on the line to have the Mexican
troops cooperate with our forces.

Great care should be taken in the use Of
postal cards, which should never be en-
ployed if you nave anything of q unu-
sual or ambiguous nature to commune
cate. An editorial writer OF the New York
Times, evidently writing of personal ex-
perience, says: "a newspaper man once
planned a story in which a lady unbap-
PLY married was to sue for a divorce, and
to make sure of being correct, wrote to a
lawyer friend, stating the case as he meant
to describe it. Back came a postal card:
You could not get a divorce on the
grounds you mention in New York; you
might in Connecticut or Maine This
card handed in by the carrier to Mrs.
Newspaperman one forenoon, when her
husband was away at business, raised q
breeze in the household which was not
allsyed for some days"

George w. Hunt is the name OF an
other weak-minded man who has come 10
grief because he covered his "shorts." 10
use the slang OF the street. with mones
belonging to his employers. He had a
good position as paying teller IN q New
York bank, and was SO far trusted and es-
tsemed that just before his defalcatlon
came to light the question OF relieving
him from his duties, in consideration oil
his long and faithful services, and OF Civ
ing him a pension equal to the full amount
Of his salary for the rest Of his life, was
under discussion, with the chances in IA
yor Of its being afirmatively decided. But
it was imperative that the shorts ="
should be covered, and as Mr.. Hunt was
unable to do this with his W funds, he
felt that embeSzlement was the only alter
native. The fascination OF stock gambling
should be summed by all. but especially
by those who are employed in positions OF
confidence and have the handling Of other
peoples money. For them to yield to its
temptations is to plunge over a precipice
in the hope of catching something midway
down whereby to break the fall.

Do rich men have full possession of
their faculties when they make their
wills! The question is worthy Of serious
investigation; in fact, it gets a great deal
of serious investigation. One such in
vestigation is going on in Philadelphia.
1t arises from the fact hat Peter Cullen's
will leaves all his large property to his
housekeeper. Another investigation is
about to be made in Detroit. That arises
from the fact that Walter Harper's will
leaves some two or three millions of
dollars to the Trustees of the Harper
Hospital in that city. Walter Harper's
heirs see evidence of his mental inca
pacity in this will, and they offer an old
chancery lawyer 20 per cent of the prop
erty if he will break the will. Here is
an inducement to look into Walter Har-
per's mental condition when he made
that will, and it will not be surprising
If the result be advantageous to his heirs.

Disappointed His Hearers.

The reverend orator who delivered the
funeral sermon over the remains of Presi-
dent Garfield at Cleveland seems to have
disappointed his hearers almost as griev-
ously as the gentleman who was selected
to perform the like sad Office at Washing
ton. He talked some ridiculous balder-
dash on that solemn occasion. His name
was and is Jones. He was Chaplain oil
Colonel Garfield's regiment in the war.
At the funeral of his old commander,
among his absurd utterances were these:
when we sent General Garfield to the
Capitol OF Washington, he weighed two
hundred and ten pounds. He had a sou
that loved his race; a splendid intellect,
that almost bent the largest form to bear
It'll You bring him back to US a mere
