A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

a young girl died near Salinas the other
day under circumstances so mysterious
that neither the medical men who examined
her, nor her parents and friends, are able
or was murdered. She was found lying
upon the floor, dead, few minutes after
she had been seen sitting at window read.
ing, and apparently in perfect health.
There were some slight bruises on her face
and hands, but these could have been
caused in her fall, by striking sewing
machine which stood near. One significant
fact must be mentioned. The girl was l3
years old, yet weighed lS2 pounds The
oplexy was the cause of death, and the
editor OF the Salinas Inder, who was fore.
man of the Coroner's jury, was of the same
opinion. But others believed that a muir.
der had been committed, and Chinaman.
who seems to have been milking cows when
the death occurred, has been arrested. So
far as we can form an opinion from the
statements made public, it seems to us
much more like case of cerebral apoplexy
than case of murder. There appears to
have been no motive for crime, and more.
over the criminal is wanting, for no
rational suspicion attaches to the China
man. In fact the weight of the murder
theory rests upon the alleged discovery of
bar OF iron with some hairs on il, which
somebody has declared resemble those of
the deceased. Two local doctors favor the
foul play theory, but on no sufficient evi.
dence, SO far as can be perceived. Yet it is
possible that an expensive trial will be had
TO clear up the mystery which a competent
physician certainly should have been able
to settle by post norton examination,
beyond all doubt.

THE REPORT ABOUT THE RODGERS

There seems room for some hope that
the report about the burning of the Arctic
relief ship Rodgers may be incorrect, but
if it proves true it will put climax upon
the unluckiest expedition that ever sailed
northward on such quest. In the alb
sence of all details it is useless to specu-
late upon the probabilities, though it
appears not little strange that fire should
have been the destructive agent. The
practical outcome is, however, that Sec
ond expedition will have to be relieved,
and that there will be two records of dis
aster instead OF one. The report states
that Lieutenant Berry and his crew all
escaped from the burning vessel and
reached the land in safety, and that they
are wintering among the Tchuktchis some.
where in the neighborhood of East Cape.
Further particulars will be awaited with
anxiety,

PERMITS TO LAND OPIUM FROM THE
CITY OF SYDNEY REFUSED. City of
Sydney, which arrived at San Francisco
Tuesday from Australia, brought a con.
siderable quantity of opium, shipped by
Tai Yick & Co., and consigned to Lai Hing
Lung & Co., firm doing business on Com.
mercial street. There were l04 boxes of
the drug, the aggregate weight of which
was something over two tons, and the cost
to the shipper estimated at IS, 800, or
$40, 4S9. The Custom. house duties on this
quantity, at Sc per pound, amounted to
over S25, 600. The brokers came up pre-.
pared to give bonds for the full amount of
the duties, and asking the usual permit.
But they were met, to their great surprise,
by the statement that no permit would be
granted to land the opium. Entry was
positively refused, for the reason Endorsed
on the invoice by Deputy Collector KEEL
logg, that by telegram from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, received on the 18th,
the Collector was so instructed. The
brokers were further given to understand
that according to the order of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury the opium SO imported
was certainly liable to seizure, and that
opium now in the bonded warehouse here
would not be delivered. This action, it is
understood, was based upon the second ar.
ticle of the late treaty with China.

COIfaX.

COLLAR, April 18th This community was thrown
into state OF excitement to-day By the discovery

From appearances he had just unlocked the door
when he was struck the head with
some b'unt weapon by his assassin. His coat
and vest were torn almost to tatters, showing
that he struggled for his life; but had
to succurnb to tine numerous blows showered on his
head. The back part of his head was completely
mashed in, and his face no less than ten cuts
were discovered. The front OF the cabin presented
sickening appearance, being spattered with the
blood of the victim of this diabolical deed In the
search for plumber the murderers removed his boots
seeming to know that he was in the habit Of carry
ing his money in them. Near the body was found
a broken handle covered with the blood and hair
of the deceased. Three tramps found at an Indian
camp near by arrested on suspicion and locked
up. No inquest has been held up to this hour.
