Miiiioaire Murdered.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 13.-
Charles Mclaughlin was shot and
killed to day by Jerome B. Cox.
The tragedy was the result of seven
teen years litigation. Mclaughlin
was a pioneer, President of the
Central Gas Ligh Company, large
capitalist and land owner and rank
ed among the millionaries. He was
the promoter of the old overland
mail route, and which made consid-
erable money. In 1862 he contract
ed to build the Western Pacific rail-
road from San Jose to Sacramento
for S.. 100000 He sub let the grad
ing and masonry work to Jerome
Cox and others for 100000. After
twenty miles of the road were built
Mclaughlin failed to make ! ay-
ment. Cox, who had put $1,000 OF
his own money in, had to stop work
Mclaughlin completedSthe road and
sold it to the Central Pacific, real
izing a large sum. Cox brought
suit against the company and Me-
Laughlin for a hundred and fifty
odd thousand dollars and obtained
judgmnet, which on technicalities
the Supreme Court reversed. Cox
amended his complaint, again recov-
cred and was again reversed. The
third, fourth and fifth trials resul-
ted similarly. The adverse decis-
ions so weighed on the mans mind
that last spring he attempted tc
shoot Justice McKinsley, of the
Supreme Court, who he believed
was chiefly instrumental in dscid
ing adversely. He went this NOR
niEg to McLaughlin's office, and
demanded $4,000 for settlement o
accounts. Being refused he shot
Mclaughlin three times The mar
lived thirty minutes. The prom
inence of the parties created intense
excitement. Cox was formerly ;
Captain in the 10th Indiana Battery
and served during the war undel
Rosecrans.

su,,er's Court House Burned.

BUTLER, Dec. 1.-The court house
here took fire this morning at eignt
O'Clock and in two hours was totally
DESTROYED. Only walls and huge
pillars were left standing.' The fire
originated from defective fiue and
had gained considerable progress
when discovered. The cupola one
hundred feet high which, contained
the large bell and clock, fell with a
tremendous crash. Two accidents
happened during the progress OF the
fire. one to Curt Smith who fell from
ladder and to c. NJ. Steinman, fire
man, who was cut on the head and
badly burned. Smiths injuries are
probably fatal. The building was
erected in 1888 and cost $4,000.
1t was fully insured. Several other
buildings were on fire but by prompt
efforts of the fire department the
flames were extinguished before Sc
rious damage resulted. The county
records were sayeds.

The Execution of O'Donaell.

LONDON, December II, S:45 A. NJ.
-O'Donnell was hanged in Newgate
at s o'clock. He slept well during
the night, rose early and ate hear
ty breakfast, after which he enjoyed
his usual smoke. He betrayed very
little nervousness and when his spir-
itual adviser. Father Fleming, ar
rived, he received him gladly and
was as composed in manner as upon
the day when he entered the prison.
He accepted the consultations of his
church deyoutly, and ferventiy Join
ed Ill the prayers of the priest.
He met the Governor of the Jail,
who entered with Binns, the exec,.-
toner, with great firmness and sub
mitted to the necessary prelimina-
ries without a tremor. With head
erect he marched to the scaffold with
the step of a soldier Oh dress parade.
He responded to the invocations of
the priest in the recital of the litany
for the dying, with a steady voice
and a tone and air of great sincerity.
In accordance with the practice of
the church he said that having made
his peace with God and man he
would make no speech from the
gallows, but would leave the vindica-
tlon Of his memory to his posterlty
in happy and liberated Ireland.
Binns, in accordance with the
method that nc has adopted, asphyX-
lated O'Donnell, and when the drop
tell he died without struggle.
The black flag, the signal of death,
was run up and the roar of the null
titude, kept at Il distance from the
prison by the guard, was distinctly
heard within the walls of Newgate.
The crowd began to gather early
on the night before, and before day
break the neighborhood of the prison
was densely crowded by great mass
es of men and women.
The police arrangements were so
absolutely perfect, however, that
there was not the slightest opportu-
nifty for a rescue, and the least lndi.
cation of an outbreak would have
been summarily checked. If the
"Invincibles" contemplated dem.
onstration in force they were awed
by the formidable array of the mill
tary.
Conspicuous in the crowd imme.
diately in front of the Jail was the
brother of O'Donnell, for which the
black flag staff seemed to have an
awful fascination, and who for hours
, before the time of the execution
paced restlessly back and forth in
front of it awaiting the signal of his
, brothers death. Dense as the crowd
, was, he commanded such universal
sympathy that an open pathway
was given to him, and when the IA
tai flag rose, and he finally succumb-
ed to the strain he fell fainting to
the street and a hundred eager men
rushed to his assistance and hurried
with him away from the scene.

American Missions.

CAIRO, December 15.--The great
excitement among the Mussulmans
and Christians of Upper Egypt is
attributed to the action ofthe Amer
ican missionaries. The Copts are
defiant and a popular outbreak is
imminent. The Governor of Stout
has informed the Government ofthe
situation. Ii appears that the only
American missionaries in Stout are
sent by the Board of Foreign Missions
of the United States Presbyterian
Church, headquarters at 1hiladel-
phia. The names of these mission
aries are Revs. John Hogg, J. R
Alexander and John Gitfen, Mrs.
w. L. Giffen, and Misses NJ. J. Nc
Kown and E. f. Newlin. There is
a mission training college at Stout
attended by over 200 students, most
ly Egyptians, who are educated for
missionary work among the native
tribes; also training school for
young Egyptian girls, where they
are prepared to become teachers OF
their own sex in Egypt.

A Perished Crew.

WATERBURY,, December 10.-A
communication is published here
this afternoon reative to the recent
dispatch giving an account of the
finding some years ago of the remains
of a crew who had died from scurvy
on Big Shelter Island, off the Chi
nese coast. The writer, who does not
give his genuine signature, says the
four bodies discovered were entirely
unrecognizable, being nothing but
masses of putrid flesh. There was
quite a store of salt beef, hard bread
tea, molasses tobacco, etc, also
rifles and ammunition. Parts OF
the log were torn out, evidently to
preserve some secret. Extracts
from the log are given, showing great
suffering from cold weather, sickness
and starvation. The last entry could
hardly be deciphered and was scrawl-
ed all over the page, and undoubt-
edly death soon ended the captain S
suffering. The papers were sent to
the Russian authorities, but no clew
to the friends of the captain or mate
was ever found. They were men
evidently without experience in cold
latitudes. The boat was the Nellie,
cleared at Calcutta, Thomas Thomp-
son, master.
