A MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
Possibly Clue to the Famous wheatland
Outrage.

Outrage.
Our dispatches last week mentioned the
suicide of young man named Raymond
near Corralitos, Santa Cruz county. The
following additional particulars we gather
from the Watsonville Pyaronian:
A few minutes before he babe the Caudill
family goodbye, then walked out in the
road and shot himself through the back of
the mouth, ranging upward, with a rife
At the inquest it was discovered that the
deceased had written two letters, one to
his late employer, Frank Williams, and
the other to his father, a resident of
Marysville. These letters were read, and
in them deceased claimed that he had con-
templated suicide for several months, and
in the fathers letter language was used
which might be construed to mean that
there was some great and unknown cause
for the act The saicide was about l9
years of age. During his residence near
Corralitos at several times he made re-
marks about the famous Wheatland out
rage, which took place less than two years
ago. which led his listeners to believe that
the boy knew more about the case than he
cared to divulge. 1t may have been only
a boyish freak, to endeavor to impress his
hearers that he was carrying great mys-
terry, but when the language in his fathers
letter is taken in connection with these re-
marks, and the singularity of the young
man committing suicide for no apparent
cause, it does not seem impossible that his
chance remarks may have considerable
truth in them. Judge Holbrook has COM
municated these rumors to Sheriff Mccoy
of Yuba county for his action.

TIE PLAGUE.


The plague has reappeared in Western
Asia. This time it is to be hoped there
will not be a repetition of the "scare :"
which marked its advent few years ago.
In the first place, it proved at that time to
be without sufficient foundation in the
next place, it can do only harm. Wise
precaution can be taken without a state
of alarm prevailing. Fear of disease in
vites its attack and weakens the efforts
put forth to resist its advance. The truth
is, the plague appears every year in certain
sections. Like the smallpox in great
cities, there are localities from which it
seldom departs. The history of the plague
shows it to have been nearly always a
local disease, and in the region between
Bagdad and the Persian Gulf it nearly al
ways exists. When the SHOWS at the
source of the Tigris and Euphrates begin
to melt, the waters of those streams food
the low-lying countries as far back as fifty
and even one hundred miles from their
banks. The hot season sets in, and the
waters drying up rapidly, the section is
left, like swamp, full of miasmatic va
pors and fevers developing, the plague
soon puts in an appearance among the in
habitants, whose uncleanly habits are ex-
actly OF the kind to invite its advances.
There is no reason to apprehend that, with
the exercise of ordinary sanitary precau-
tons and the enforcement of cleanliness
upon thickly settled communities, that the
plague will not extend over Europe, or
find any secure foothold upon this CONT
uent

A PECULIAR POPULAR DEMONSTRATION.

It is difficult to discover the motives of
the popular demonstration in San Fran
cisco over the acquittal of Kalloch. No
doubt there are as many fools to the square
mile in that city as elsewhere, but it takes
a great deal of folly to get up furore OF
this kind. Kalloch can hardly be regarded
as hero, the verdict of the jury notwith.
standing. He has very certainly killed a
man, and though acquitted of the charge
of willful murder, by no means after
fashion which affords his friends just cause
for vaingloriousness. In short such an
ending to such trial should have been re-
ceived with impressive silence. The pro-
ceedings have not been of an order to en-
courage the moral and decent elements of
society. They have in fact been charac-
terized by more than the usual amount of
hard swearing and turpitude. Kalloch no
doubt has abundant reason for gratitude to
his counsel, Mr. Highton, for it would
have been impossible to make an ADLER or

more intrepid defense than that gentleman
made. But outside of the parties thus i'm
mediately interested there is no ground for
rejoicing, and the idiots who insisted on
drawing the defendant home the other
night laid themselves open to the sus-
picion that they were really triumphing
over what appeared to them as another
failure of Justice their natural enemy.

GEN. 4,thuy as setting President.


WASHINGTON, Sept. Now that con-
fidence in the Presidents recovery is be-
ing restored the subject of executive bus
mess is again discussed, and in connec-
ton with it the probability and feasibility
of Gen. Arthur being called upon to act
as President until Gen. Garfield sufficient
ly RECEIVERS to warrant his resumption of
duties The fact cannot be well over
looked that in every department of the
government there are matters in statu
quo, that require the action of the chief
magistrate. How long they can remain
so without positive detriment to the
public interests is a question that
may soon be met, although tits positively
known that no meeting of the cabinet
has been held or called to discuss this
subject Yet it is acknowledged by the
cabinet officers that general informal eX-
changes of opinion has been indulged in,
and been found that great differences eX-
ist as to the wisdom of such a step, not
the least consideration being the possible
effect on Gen. Garfield if in his present
weak state, as it must necessarily
be, the matter is called to
his attention 1t is we'll known
that even Notwithstanding assurances of
his physicians and friends that public
business is in no way suffering through
his continued disability, he nevertheless
thinks much on the subject, no better ev-
idence being needed than the fact that
during his recent delirium his incoherent
utterances were constantly and evidently
in relation to public matters, and it IS
feared his recovery might be seriously re-
tarded by knowledge that it was deemed
necessary for another to perform his con-
stitutional duties. 1t is safe to say this
step will not be advised by the cabinet at
present. The Presidents symptoms con-
tinue favorable.

4 Neighb0rIy Family.
detroit news.1

A family from down in Indiana moved
into house on Second avenue last week,
and before night had borrowed tea, sugar,
eggs, milk and kerosene from as many
different neighbors. After three or four
days the new family ceased to borrow
promiscuously, and settled down on one
particular neighbor. At an early hour in
the morning a small boy appeared and
said;
ssSay, we are out of tacks and want to
put down our carpet. Ma wants to know
if she can borrow few?''
A hunt was made, and the request
granted, but in ten minutes the boy re-
turned, and said:
"Say, we've mislaid our tack hammer
and ma wants to borrow yours
He got it, and this time it was twenty
minutes before he returned and said:
aSay, mas pulled all her teeth out pull
ing on that carpet. She wants to know
if you won't lend her one of your boys.''
One of the boys was sent over, but it
was an obstinate carpet, and back came
the messenger With:
"Say, amt your husband homer"
"Y es; what do you want?'
"Well, mas mislaid her husband some
where, and she wants to borrow yours to
pull one end of that internal carpet
through two doors and across hail."
The line had to be drawn somewhere
and it was fixed here.

him:
"Prof. Florestan is evidently scholar of no

art in dramatic acting last night, plainly DEM
onstrated that he has made the drama a
study"
The Minneapolis Tribune noting his visit to
that city said
"The entertainment has the distinctive
character of drawing-room soirce, at which
the most cultured audience assemblies. The
professor appears in full evening costume,
reading with fine gesture and rhetorical effect
some of the masterpieces of French litera-
ture"

Committee to Recognize the Illness of
the President.
NEW YORK, Sept. LA reporter called
upon number of Republicans this morning
and talked with them about the meeting of
the Republican State committee Collector
Robertson said:
The proceedings of the committee of yes
terday were very harmonious, and although
the stalwarts carried out their programme
and this city was chosen for holding the con-
yention, it was by majority. 1t is thought
this city was preferred by the stalwarts be-
cause they are stronger here than any
wnere else in the State. / don't think
they will resort to any extreme measures to
control the convention. / believe there will
be an earnest effort on the part of both ele-
ments to quell all differences, and to select a
ticket which will receive the support of all
Republicans throughout the State. If this is
done we shall certainly carry the State in No
vember. nt
When asked about the failure of the con-
vention to pass any resolutions of sympathy
with the wounded President the collector
said: think it was merely an oversight. 1t
is to be regretted certainly, that a body of
Republicans of the State of New York should
make such mistake, but I can't think it was
Intentional. Before the committee met spoke
OF the matter to Mr.. Vroonan, and / under
stood him to say some one present had a set
OF resolutions prepared to be presented to the
committee after the formal committee bust
ness was over. I was talking to Col. Baker
about the matter, when motion was made to
adjourn. Several members were discussing
this question among themselves when the
committee adjourned. Had known no resolu-
tions would be made 1 would have made
a short resolution myself, and almost before /
knew it the convention was declared ad-
journed. / cannot believe this motion was
made to prevent the introduction of such res
Olutions.
Other gentlemen spoken to regret the omis-
lection of New York city as the proper place
for holding the convention.
