Yesterday was the sixth day of
the Shorb investigation and the
evidence on behalf of the people is
not yet ell in. The session of the
Court yesterday was occupied in
hearing expert testimony from
Doctors Kurtz and Orme, the ma
ture of which we did not learn. At
the conclusion of their examipa-
ton the case was continued until
10 A. NJ. Monday.

members OF this excellent organi-

have conducted its affairs.

Captains, Foley and Ling, got off
for the Ballona at noon yesterday,
with sufficient supplies, the major
part done up in hoped and glass
packages, to last q small army u

Hulse and a war of words ensued
concerning the former election,
which ended in Hulse rawing u
pistol and shooting Mr.. Reuter-,
who shortly died from the effect of
his injuries. Hulse is under arrest.
AN inquest was held yesterday
afternoon, but we have not yet
learned the result.
We have been at some pains to
ascertain the facts in this case.
Hulse, instead OF being "a drunken
Irishman," as the Commercial puts
it, is u native of J0nesborough,
Tennessee, who first moved TO Hill
nois and afterwards to California.
He is of Prussian descent and has
not a drop of Irish blood in his
veins. A little more caution on
the part of our esteemed contem-
pOrary would be advisable in the
future, ns IT ia very easy to wound

Florida Oranges,

A notable feature of the fair at the Capitol
was the beautiful display of very choice
oranges, which was generously contributed
by the growers in Marion County, Florida.
There was one box each from the following
groves on Orang Lake, viz: James A. Harris
and Bishop, Hoyt & Co., the largest producers
in the State, whose crops will each be upward
of 5000 boxes this season, worth SO at their
groves; Lindsey Orange Grove Company, crop
this season, $1,000; Church, Sangster & Chip
man, crop this season, $1,000; John +. Dunn
4 Bro, crop this season, 1000, and from the
young groves Of William Il. Hillyer aud II. p.
Robinson; also from A. l.. Eichelberger, "Ba-
mana Hill " Grove, at Ocala, Marion County,
Florida, one box of very choice fruit. Tho
fruit was arranged and conspicuously dis
played on the Arkansas booth, the largest and
handsomest booth in the fair, where il at
tracted much attention and sold readily at six
to ten cents piece and sixty to seventy-tive
cents per dozen, averaging 81 to $s box.
They came through from the grove in fve
and six days and in perfect order perhaps IF

LsSs in the Polar Regions.

1t is impossible to form an idea of 9
tempest in the polar seas. The ice
bergs are like floating rocks wnirled
along rapid current. The huge crys.
tai mountains dash against each other,
backward and forward, bursting each
With roar like thunder, and returning
to the charge, until losing their equi.
librium, they tumble over in cloud OF
spray, upheaving the ice-felds, which
fall afterward, like the crack of whip
lash, on the boiling sea.
The sea gulls fly away screaming, and
often black shining whale comes for
an instant putting to the surface. When
the midnight sun grazes the horizon,
the floating mountains and the rocks
seem immersed in a wave of beautiful
purple light.
The cold is by no means so insupport-
able as is supposed. We passed from
heated cabin at thirty degrees above
zero to forty-seyen degrees below zero in
the open air without inconvenience.
A much higher degree of cold be-
comes, however, insutferable if there
is wind.
AT fifteen degrees below zero a steam,
as if from boiling kettle, rises from the
water. At once frozen by the wind, it
falls in Il fine powder. This phenomenon
is called ice-smoke At forty degrees
the snow and human bodies also smoke,
which smoke changes at once into mil
lions of the tiny particles, like needles of
ice, which fill the air and make light,
continuous noise, like the rustic of
silk.
At this temperature the trunks of
trees burst with loud report, the rocks
break up and the earth vomits smoking
water. Knives break in cutting butter.
Cigars go out by contact with the ice on
the beard. To talk is fatiguing. At
night the eyelids are covered with a
crust of ice, which must be carefully
removed before one can open them.

A supsrior ssona onnrrx

Quite delegation from Topeka pass

west bound Santa Fe train to examine
the Stewart stone quarry near Stafford,
Chase county, Kansas. They were
mostly contractors and builders, who
were looking for stone for the main
building OF the capitol at Topeka. The
state commissioners, in their advertise
ment for bids for the foundation of the
capitol building, have solicited bids for
the Stafford stone, knowing it to he su-
perior to any in the state, and indeed in
the west.
This stone, on account Of its fine quail
iIy and large quantity, is attracting the
attention Of builders not only of Kansas
but other states. In the party was Q
gentleman form Lincoln, Nebraska, who
is one ofthe largest contractors in the
west, and he stated that he had examin-
ed and used stone from the extreme
north to the south in the west and that
he had never examined such lime stone
quarry that IL was simply perfect, and
