A Double Murder.

san JOSE, Cal, March ia double
murder and arson was committed in the

Before assistance could reach it it burned
to the ground. When daylight came, the
discovery was made some ten rods from
1t was found with two bullet holes in the
heart and one in the right cheek. Only
the lower portion of his clothing was
burnt, SO he must have rushed from the
house and been fired on outside, or else
inside and left for dead. In the
ruins was another dead body, charred
almost beyond recognition. When found
it was identified as that Of Archie McIn-
tyre, an old friend of Renowden, who had
been in the habit Of staying for days at
the place. An inquest will be held at Los
Gatos this afternoon. Renowden was 60
yeas of age and a bachelor. and was sup
posed to have considerable money in the
house. The supposition is that he was
murdered for his money. There is no clue
as yet to the perpetrators.

ent lumber yard at Los Gatos, was shot in
the right arm this morning by John Shep-
perd. The parties married sisters. and

over what would be an equitable reduc-
ton, Supervisor Strother intimated
strongly tina. he had been offered $780,
900 for influencing his vote on the final
consideration question. The announce

was increased by remarks made by Su-
pervisor Reichentback, to the effect that
his wife had been approached, and in
formed that it was to his ~interes. to vote
against a reduction, and a consideration
to be offered for SO doing. A prolonged
debate ensued, and finally the order

basis Of compromise. The adopted order

Another Story About 1t.
From the RrookIvn EaoIa I

(From the Brooklyn Eagle.l
1t was reported few weeks ago that
William K. Vanderbilt had suffered
serious losses from specializing in Wall
Street. The report was contradicted on
the authority of his father, who exhib-
tied a natural anxiety to conceal from
the public the extent of Willie's in
discretion. The fact Is no longer denied,
however, that his losses were not only
severe. but that they involved the bulk
of his available fortune. When the
true state of the case became known to
William e. Vanderbilt, he had an angry
interview with his son, which terminated
in an offer to make the latter an annual
allowance of $40, 900 provided he would
pledge himself never again to dabble In
stocks. William gave the pledge, but
insisted that the sum specified was In
sufficient for his support, and after con-
acknowledgements it was increased to
800, 600. It is also known that Mr.
Wander biIt has altered his will so that,
instead of having absolute control of his
share of the property, William will only
enjoy life estate, his children to IN
herlt the principal after his death.
These measures have been taken with
the entire concurrence of the other
members of the family, who believe that
the prodigal son has been treated fully
as we'll as be deserves.

Hunting with Baking Powder.

CFrom the Sacramento Record--nion.l
A few days since couple OF university
snaps came up from the bay on a visit
to Sacramento friends. Hearing that
there was good duck shooting at a lake a
short distance from the city, they Dor
rowed couple of muzzle-loadipg shot
guns and began making preparations
for a grand hunt yesterday. Monday
evening they took account of stock, and
found they had everything complete to
their outfit except powder. They
stopped at store on Tenth Street, and
asked for q. can of the best powder IN
the shop. The merchant took a can
from large pyramid stacked in the
window, and said that it was new
brand that gave universal satisfaction.
He would like TO have them try it, and
if it was not as represented to bring it
back and their money would be re-
funded. The next evening, just at
dusk, two very tired looking chaps
sauntered into the store, guns on their
shoulders and a detected and woe-be-
gone expression on their elongated faces.
Ono of them stepped up TO the proprI~
etor, and depositing the can very heav-
lily upon the counter, said: 'sSee here.
boss, your powder amt worth d.
We used up three boxes of caps and did
not succeed IN discharging the guns
single time" The proprietor handed
over the silver dollar, set the can of bak-
ing powder back on the shelf again. re-
marking, Why did you not saw Won
were going hunting? Then we would
have given you an entirely different ar
ticle."

A Doctors Stratagem.
rFrom the sew York Journal ]

DR.. Isaac Lea, OF Stapleton, S. T., is
one Of the most venerable of Staten ISL
and physicians and Is also coroner for
the Town of Middletown. He acted as
coroner at the time that Reinhardt was
hanged at Richmond for the brutal muir
der of his wife. Reinhardt, it will be
remembered, killed his wife at the hour
when a babe was born, aud chopped the
bodies of the two into small pieces,
crowded them all into barrel, threw q
piece of carpet over the top, which he
placed in a wheelbarrow, and, III broad
daylight, wheeled the revolving cargo
through the streets of Stapleton, pass
ing from the village into the woods near
Silver Lake, where be dug a hole and
buried the barrel and it's contents In a
lonely spot. A heavy rain storm
washed the earth from the barrel, and q
child while out gathering nuts discovered
it months after. Reinhardt had moved

away from the island, and the only clue
to the corpse of the murdered woman
was piece of carpet that he had placed
in the barrel. After he was hanged his
body was buried in potter's field at
Richmond. His skeleton, complete to
every bone, and suspended by a wire
placed exactly where the hangman's
rope was, with the whole held together
by wires run through the marrow chan
nele, hangs in closet in DIR. Lea's con
sult1ng Office on the corner of Richmond
Road and Union-place, Stapton. If a
canvasser or political striker tarries too
long in DR.. LEAFS Office, he touches a
button near his desk, the door of closet
flies open with whang bang, and the
unwelcome solicitor finds at his elbow
the rafting, disjoipted, musty remnants
of Reinhardt.

PAINFUL SOLES.
BY RICHARD NIXON.

/ sit by the windows broken pane,
And wish that lay upon my bier.
For feel q wild outspokep pain
Which causes me even to shun my beer
I regret the horribly daring feat
Which has ended in tears and thunder signs
OF trying to put rpy despairing feet
Into shoes so very much under size,
1t was all for the sake of a scornful maid
With GrOsyenOr gown and Roman nose.
That thus my poor feet corn full made
The worst pain that lord or yeoman knows
But she looked at my boots in frigid way,
And said, with distant, careless air:
What boots it?" Which words on nae rigid weigl
Like the midnight squall of hairless heir
SO mourn through the nights and weary days
Unpitied and Knocked by disdainful souls,
And go through the world in q dreary daze.
With most aching heart and most painful soles.
