Tic Grass valley shoottug Case.

GRASS VALLEY, April 9th.-The examina-
ton of Mrs. Margaret NJ Austin, charged
with killing Nicholas Permewen, began this
morning before Justice Davis. The State
was represented by District Attorney Gay
lord, and the defense by a. +. Ridge. DIR.
Jones testified he thought the wound was
made by a shotgun loaded with shot, as sew
eral No. 6 shot were found in the wound III
the post-mortem examination.
William Andrews testified at considerable
length, but his statement was the same as
telegraphed yesterday.
Kerr the man who was in bed, and in the
room before the door of which Permewen
fell, states he heard loud talking in Mrs. Aus
tins room, and that voice cried ont angrily
and in high key, "Get out of here" or
some such words. A reply was made in a
jocular tone, " You are not going to shoot
are you: p I'll break your back or IN
throw you on your back" Then occurred
the shot. In few moments after the shot
Kerr heard deceased fall in front of his door,
some 40 feet from Mrs. Austin's rooms.
Constable Peters testified to the finishing of
shotgun, also shot-pouch, in Mrs. Aus
tins bedroom. He drew the load from the
loaded chamber and the shot was the same
size as that found in the deceased's body, also
in the shot pouch.
The evidence is purely circumstantial. and
the public believe Mrs. Austin guilty of the
murder. The defendant, by her attorney, re-
fused to make any statement at present.
Judge Davis committed her to Jail without

skill, and that while it introduces new
principles which probably will pave the
way to still greater changes, in England as
well as Ireland, it does not impose upon
the landowners such restrictions as to
render them powerless. The most signif-
cant fact in regard to it, however, is the
reception given to it by the Land Leaguers.
Parnell has publicly Endorsed the measure,
and the belief is that the Irish members
viii all support it. It's difficult to under
stand how bill which is regarded as salts
factory by this class can be acceptable to
the landowners, and it is quite possible
that when it has been carefully examined
the landed interest Will unite in opposition
to it. Already, indeed, the signs OF COM
ing opposition are beginning to manifest
themselves. Thus one Conservative
journal alleges that under the new law
the landlords will only be trustees,
and that their property rights in
the laud will be practically destroyed.
Certainly bill which satisfies the Land
Leaguers must be a radical measure, unless
they have very suddenly resolved to abate
their demands greatly. The probability
that it will become law as it leaves the
hands of the Government is of course very
slight. 1t will no doubt be amended con.
siderabiy in committee, and when it
reaches the House of Lords there will be
strong disposition to kill It, The fact,
however, that those who have most reason
to apprehend unpalatable changes in the
land system have as yet apparently failed
to discover any vital objection to this bill,
may be regarded as confirming the truth
of the report that it has been framed with
marvellous dexterity and judgment. Mr..
Gladstone is said to have achieved a par
Iiamentary triumph in introducing it, his
speech on the occasion having been
model of lucidity and dignifed eloquence.
Despite his recent illness and the III
Vulnerable cares and anxieties of his
position, it is evident that the Pre-
mier retains wonderful amount
of vitality and energy, and that his
seventy two years have not measurably
abated his intellectual powers, or dimin-
ished his capacity of endurance. As he
was making this great speech he may have
thought of that lifelong political antagonist
and personal rival who for so long period
sat over against him in the House, but
whose career appears to be approaching its
close, even while that of the great Liberal
leader is still in its zenith. Whether,
however, the position of Gladstone is more
to be envied to-day than that of Beacons-
field is question not to be lightly deter
mined. The Ides of March are come, not
gone. The Irish land bill is introduced,
but it is not passed. Thus far the admins
tration of Gladstone has been series of
disasters and failures and national hui
Mutations 1t remains to be seen whether
his latest measure is to redeem his
ministry, or to plunge it into yet deeper
difficulties.

PERU AND CHILE.

The terms imposed upon Peru by Chile
are so heavy chat it would seem scarcely
worth while for country so oppressed to
attempt to maintain itself at all Chile
demands that her PROSTATE antagonist
shall pay all the expenses of the war, in
Guiding the cost of all the Chilenian iron
clads and other fighting vessels destroyed
during hostilities that she shall surrender
the guano islands to Chile the latter to
manage them and practically, to pay Peru
what she p,aases out Of any surplus that
she shall refrain from fortifying any of her
ports for fifty years, and from creating a
navy for forty years that all restrictions
upon the entry OF ChiIeuian goods and
products into Peru shall be abolished
that Chile shall have the right to maintain
an army OF occupation of 10000 men in
Peru, the latter paying the cost of main
tenance. These are the principal provi-
si9ns, and it is difficult to see
what they leave to the conquered
country beyond the privilege of work
ing for the conquerors drring the next
half century. Under the circumstances it
IS pity that Peru cannot disincorporate,
and go into national bankruptcy. As it is
she is virtually enslaved by Chile, and her
people are condemned to labor for the lat
ter indefinitely. OF course the enormous
indemnity demanded can only be paid by
imposing most oppressive taxes for long
term OF years And as Peru IS not q rich
country, aud as the proceeds of the
guauo islands are to be AFFORDED by
Chile it is rrobable that this war and
these terms Viii effeetaally bankrupt her
Eotcrprise ana capital WI naturally flee
from country under such discipline
aud every year the fulfllment of the
terms Wi. become harder, until Chile
IS driven at length to annex the whole ter
ritory, and seek to reimburse he losses by
stimulating il to renewed activity.

Serious Railroad Accident-The First on
the Oregon DIyisiOn-Tw0 Hen Killed
and Several Other Injured.
ANDERSON, April 10th.-Tke first accident
that has occurred on this division befell the
passenger train last night at China Gulch on
its up trip. The gulch, or small creek, over
which bridge about GO feet long is con-
structed about FIVE miles above here, was
swollen very suddenly by cloudburst, it is
supposed, happening during the heaviest
thunder and rain-storm that has been ex.
perienced in this section for years, during
which the bridge was displaced, and was the
cause of the accident. The locomotive, ten
der and express car had passed over the
weak spot, but were drawn into the creek by
the baggage car, which dropped first, fol-
lowed by the entire train, with the exception
of the coach, the rear part of which re-
manned on the track. The accident &C.
CURED at 1910 o'clock, and the engineer,
George B. Smith, and the fireman,
Frank Rogers, were killed. The messen-
ger of Wells, Fargo Il Co., r. j. Johnston,
had his leg broken and was otherwise in
jured. Ben. Kuhn, a commercial traveller,
had his head badly injured. Ben. Laws and
J. A. Richardson, also drummers, were
slightly hurt. Conductor WEIGH was cut
about the face. The others on the train,
among the number about nine passengers,
were slightly injured. The body of Smith
morning also the express agent and Kuhn.
Rogers has not been found. A wrecking
train left Sacramento at 3 A. N. and reached
the scene at $50. A construction train is
laying over at this place to begin work in the
morning, it being impossible to clear the de-
bris tonight. The accident created much
sensation all along the line.
