testified that on the morning of the tragedy
Clarence Gray met John 2. Stearns in

sponsibla for the article in the Santa Barbara

swered affirmatively. Gray demanded re-
traction, and upon Stearns' refusal, threat.

SECOND DIsPATCHI
SANTA BARBARA, February 9th.-The dy.
ing declaration of Theodore Clancy was ad.
mitted this afternoon in the Gray murder
case. Thornton, for the defense, made a
strong argument against its introduction, but
the Court decided that Clancy made the
statement with The full knowledge that he
was dying, and that the testimony was clearly
admissible. The substance of the statement
is that Gray asked Clancy if he was respon-
sible for the article which appeared in the
Santa Barbara Press. Clancy said " Y es, "
and Gray said he would hold him responsible,
and at the same time attempted to draw
revolver Clancy caught him and held
MIN unVli DySt&ndsr separated JEeiii.
Clancy in the meantime told Gray that he
was uuarmed. As soon as they were separated
Gray drew pistol and Clancy ran into the
hotel. Gray pursued and shot him. This
statement has been pretty fully corroborated
by the evidence of half dozen eye-witnesses.
The fact was developed this afternoon that
Gray had a few days before the shooting
threatened the lives of Stearns and Clancy
il the Press published any further attacks
upon his character The Courtroom was
thronged with visitors to-day many ladies'
being present. The testimony for the prose-
cution will close to.morroW forenoon.

Malaria.

There is so much ignorance upon the
subject of malaria that a few words are
in order at time when people are sub
iect to malarial influences. Malaria,
which means simply bad air, is the com
mon name Of class of diseases, which
commonly arise fl ON sprose OF decayIng
vegetable matter, either rising from
stagnant pools or piles of vegetation
undergoing decomposition. These
spores when inhaled with the breath
or taken into the system with water,
soon enter the blood, and terminating
there, find foothold, whence the whole
system is poisoned by them and the
various functions disordered. When
the germ theory of disease was first ex-
plotted it was supposed that these
spores were of animal nature, and like
the bacteria in diphtheria, were propa-
gated in the blood, but they are now
conceived to be of vegetable origin,
like the fungi found on decaying wood
or in cellars. The source of this state
of the air is generally swamps or stag
nant pools, which, partially dried by
the hot sun, send forth vapors loaded
with this malarial poison. These vapors
descend to the earth in the night,
cooled by the loss of temperature, and
breathed by sleepers are readily inhaled.
Hence persons living near stagnant
pools or u, arshes are liable to be afflicted
with chills and fever, and such localities
are never healthy, though they are moro
so when the water is high. Again, tho
drainage of houses, slaughter houses,
barns, etc, are a fertile source OF ma
laria. As general rule the drainage OF
tanneries in consequence OF the lime
used and the tannin in the water is not
as Objectionable as other drainage. Usu-
allv houses on bluffs or hills are but lis
tie subject to malaria, because they are
above the poisoned vapors when they
settle in the cooler air of night. One
will often notice in coming into the
neighborhood of one these sluggish
strei m that pass through almost every
village a most ,ilainous smell is caused
by the offensive refuse which communl-
Gates its bad odor to the atmosphere, es-
pecially on hot days. This absorbed into
the system by. the lungs or taken IN
through water, which also absorbs 1t
from the air, poison the blood and de-
range the whole system. The poison y
also developed in force in wells and
springs when they become low, and the
result of drinking these is the same as
breathing the poisonous air. In time
of drought the great quantity OF vegeta-
ton that dries up in the meadows, stub
ble-felds and pastures, the cornfields
and forest leaves produce the same
etfiuvia. On the prairies when large
tracts of prairie ground are turned over.
the decaying vegetation is widespread
cause of malaria 1t will be noticed that
whenever there is long continued
drought in the late summer and fall
there is always an abundance of malaria.
This is dry malaria, and is very common
at such times.
