Female Pirates.

One of the most exciting events OF
Governor Cameron's recent cruise
against the oyster pirates OF the Vir-
GINA waters was his pursuit of the
sloop Dancing Molly. The captain
and crew had gone ashore for wood,
and the captains wife and two daugh-
ters were the only persons on board
the sloop when another pirate boat
down the bay signaled that the Gov
ernor's steamer was approaching.
The women called in vain for the
crew to return, aud then, seeing that
there was no more time to lose, they
weighed ancher, shook out their sails
and ran for neutral water, paying no
attention to the solid shot fired across
their bows by the pursuing steamer.
For a time it was nip and tuck, but a
stiff breeze blew up to help them,
and they out-sailed the Governor.
The people on the Virginia shore are
sworn enemies of the oyster pirates,
but when those who happened 10 be
spectators of the chase saw that the
Dancing Molly was manned only by
three women, they chivalrously
chsered the captains plucky wife and
daughters.

Destructive Fire mt Forest city.

A San Francisco dispatch of the 18th
gives the following particulars of a
destructive fire at Forest City:
a report from Forest City says the
fire destroyed the entire business por-
ton of the town. Hundreds are
homeless and in the streets tonight.
Scarcely anything was saved, most Of
the people barely escaping with their
lives. There are no provisions in
town excepting what was contained
in Hemitzer's fire proof cellar, which
is safe. One thousand pounds Of
flour is said to be all that is saved,
and much suffering must ensue before
the destitute "a be provided for.
Only a few small buildings on the
outskirts of the town are left standing
The Bald Mountain Company's mine,
buildings, dumps, lumber house, tim
~her-yards and fiume are all safe.
This renders it possible for many OF
the poor TO go to work as soon as they
can get housed. Seventy-six build
ings we're burned, with an estimated
loss Of $3.50, 900. 1t is impossible 10
ascertain the amount of insurance,
but it is believed To be quite small.
A later dispatch says a gang OF Chi
namen last night stole half of the flour
left, and that organized bodies of men
are now starting TO exclude or drive
them from the town. All we're pro-
vided with food and shelter last night.
but all teams are gone, and any hour
may bring a snowstorm, preventing
all communication. No lumber is TO
he had until teams can be brought
from the valleys. The fire originated
in the kitchen of the Forest House.
The water works are insufficient and
the fire apparatus was in bad condi-
ton.

Ex-senator Spencer, of Osceola, Is
now in London, and from an ex-
change we learn THAT he is "bulling"
the Nevada mine market. The Vic
torine, out in Lander county, is the
mine in which the ex-senator ''has
no interest,"" but which he thinks
very highly of. A London paper
says:
Gen. Spencer said he had no inter-
est whatever in the Victorine mine
beyond being a neighbor, but he could
assure the gentlemen present, after
having spent a fortnight on the prop
erty, and having been through the
mine several times, that there were
several thousand tons of ore in sight,
which, no doubt, could be made to
yield $40 per ton, and although the
ore was well known to be refractory,
the whole cost of mining and milling,
he would guarantee to say, would not
exceed 50 per ton under proper man
agement. The company evidently
had a very valuable property, and
capable of returning all the money
many times over that had been spent
on it, but they must not try expert
ments. Mears' process that had been
put up by Cecil Morgan at an enor-
nous cost, proved a failure, but the
proper system had since been intro
duced by Reuben Richard, and there
was no doubt that by erecting more
of the Frue concentrators, and pay
ing off the local debts, a profit of
&c. 900 a month could be easily earn
ed, and by increasing the power OF
the mill "A much larger profit would
be realized, and he considered that
the mine had already been developed
to such an extent as to show over a
million dollars worth of ore in sight.

The Bfaltby Murder Case.

The trial OF ex-Sheriff Rahm and his
cousin, George RahIn, now III prog
ress at Woodland, California, for the
alleged murder of John Maltby.
about a year ago, is attracting con-
siderable attention. The Chronicle of
last Sunday gives the following as the
testimony of DIR. jackson, an impor-
tant witness:
He said that he knew Maltby while
he WAS alive; he first saw the body in
the Coroner's possession on the same
day it was found; it had been dead
some eight days aud was in AN ad-
Vauced state of decomposition; held
the post mortem; we examined the
appearance OF the body, the brain,
vicera, liver, lungs aud heart as well
as we could; all seemed in a healthy
condition; on accoant of the deeom-
position could not iu.m any opinion
as TO the cause of acath; the brain
was in a more advanced state of de-
composition than the balance OF the
body; could not tell its condition at
the lime of death; death from concus-
sion of the brain might ensue If con.
cussion is caused by "a blow which
does moi fracture The skull; We tied
the stomach with cord, sealed it, took
it to my office, kept 1t there two days
and delivered it To Mr.. Garoute; no
one had aecess TO 1t while | had it; |
would not expect to see a man who
hol AinA from GfrV.hnTfa ~ lxvtYa.r xNfHh
his hand under his head, or his hat
over his head; there is nothing IN this
case that would induce me 10 believe
that the cause of death was strychnine;
persons dying from this cause have
severe commissions, and the ground
about them would show SOMA evil
dences of it; II the hat were tightly
drawn over the head it might stay;
but the least touch or excitement will
bring on commissions; but while in
them the subject could moi drink wa
ter; commissions would have atenden-
cy To throw the body on the back;
found no abrasions or fractures OF the
skull; in case of a blow being received
on the head, conclusion follows, and
there are as many cases without frac-
ture as there are With it; il a person
dies from conclusion of the brain
there should be evidence of blood in
the right ventricle of the heart: exam
ined the body the other day after il
had been exhumed for that purpose;
found no fracture on the skull; the
spinal cord was intact from the neck
down; could find no injuries on the
body that would lead 10 the belief that
he had been murdered by external
force; at first examination the condi-
ton of the heart and lungs was not
inconsistent with the iaea that he
had died from strychnine; the con-
gested condition of the lungs might
have been caused by the length OF
time he had been dead; there was
nothing inconsistent with the theory
that he died from conclusion Of the
brain; could not tell if the brain had
been bruised or not.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, but no important testimony MAS
given by them.

A War Ynrn.

The Memphis Scimiiar says that
the New Orleans Picayune tells a
tough yarn about Gen. Morgan cap
turing 1000 prisoners with a force of
1900 cavalry. He made the cavalry
men take the prisoners Up behind
them on their horses and cross the
Cumberland river. No doubt Nor
gan captured the 1000 prisoners; no
doubt he did it with a force of 1000.
What puzzles us is to know how
5000 men looked on l,200 horses
The achievement was easy enough.
Gen. Forrest, tells how the pretty Miss
SAMSON became his guide when in
hot pursuit Of Gen. Streight, said !:
al didn't have time to stop to hear
her. so / retched down, fetched her
up, sot her behind me and rode on
like hill" II Forrest could capture
two to one, with one oma sitting
broadside behind him, Morgan sure.
~ could cross the Cumberland with
three men bestriding each courser.

Sad Termination of a Young Life

Mrs. Cora McCracken, daughter OF
Mr.. w. b. TOrrey, was found dead in
her bed last Sunday morning, ana the
horror attending the news of her sud.
den demise was augmented through the
knowledge that she had unconsciously
taken her own life by an overdose of
morphine.
Ii was not unusual for Mrs. McCrack.

she was of nervous temperament, and
the narcotic would bring that repose
which she could not obtain without
hours of sleeplessness. Upon former
OCCASION, and about "a year since, Mrs.
McCracken, alter recovering from an
illness during which time considerable
morphine had been administered to her,
acquired the habit so thoroughly, that
it was only after the most persistent en-
treaties of her father that she promi scd
to abstain from its use altogether, or at
least reduce the quantity taken.
On the evening preceding the night
at the fatality, deceased accompanied
her father to the concert at Union Hall,
and returned home in an unusually
happy frame of mind, and was, SO far
~ any one knew, in the enjoyment of
good health 1t is every way probable
that, not being able to readily induce
sleep, she took the morphine, and by
mistake took a larger dose than her sys-
tenn could sustain. About nine o'clock
Sunday morning, the hired girl went to
her room to awaken her, and bcin" un-
able to receive IN answer to her cntrcat-
les became frightened and called in as,
sistance. Her father was Immediately
sent for, and he summoned DIR. Dorm

that her pulse had ceased to beat and
that her heart no longer thrObbcd. She
was dead
Mrs. McCrackcn was nearing her 2Gth
birth day. She was married about sew
en- years, and at the time of her death
her husband was somewhere in Ken

with the intention of removing his fam
ily there as soon as he could find a place
to suit him. She leaves three small
aged three, tour and five years,
who, more than all Others, will miss the

I'HE great Schellcr arson trial which
has been going on in Milwaukee for
some time, closed on Tuesday, with
IN acquittal for the defendant. The
crime of which Schellcr WIS accused
ii will he remembered. was the firing
of the Newhall House, Milwaukee.
on the 10th day of January, when
nearly one hundred lives were lost +.
Tie jury were only five minutes in
making their decision. but fearing
that such Il hurried rendering of their
verdict would give rise Ia unpleasant
talk on the part of the prosecution,
they remained out for two hours. IL
is said that Scheller's acquittal is
warmly received i'm Milwaukee, as
very few believed him guilty of the
atrocious crime with which he was
charged.
