THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
Mr.. Humphreys DisavGWs UTrt.
bunev Billingsgale.

Messrs. Lynch, Ayers and Others:
SIR-In Justice to you gentlemen 7
have sent copy of the following to the
Tribune for publication, which explains
itself;
E!HDiroR TRlBuNE-In al interview with
me at my residence late on night before
last, as reported in your issue of yester-
day, your reporter has, perhaps uninten.
tionally, misquoted me in three instances
particularly.
First-He quotes me as saying: No
petition signed by such men as Lynch,
Ayers, Patton and Burton would receive
any attention from me. The facts are, he
asked me il q petition came to me from
Messrs. Lynch, Ayers, Patton and Bur
ton, would | resign. | replied / would
pay no attention to it.
Second-He quoted me as saying
"Such venomous ours as Collins and
Cohn can't put their finger on any crook
said that it was a venomous thing in
Messrs. Collins and Cohn to bring up in
the Council the matter of that venomous
cur about the commission on hay.
Third. He asked me why the Mayor
did not state the same facts l did. l re-
piled perhaps because l had jotted down
the items and detailed them, while the
Mayor spoke from memory, and perhaps
overlooked some points.
wish to say in justice to all the gen
tlemen named herein it was not my in
tention (and so wish to state to the
public to villify or cast any reflection
upon them, or term them gutter-snipes o.
ours! Very respectfully,
JOHN +. HUMpHREYs.

AT fire last night, one of the brave
hremen was shot in the head, as it is
supposed by hoodlum in the crowd.
1t is reported that crowd of people
gathered around the confagration and
were obstructing the action of the de.
partment. Some of them declined to
"move on" until we'll directed stream
of water appealed where reason failed.
This exasperated one of the reprobates
and he shot at the firemen, inficting an
ugly wound on one of them. It is more
than pity that some stronger medicine
than a stream of water could not be
brought to bear on him.

NoGALEs, Ariz., September 26.-At
meeting recently held at Harmosillo,
Sonora, by leading mine operators, it
was decided to hold Convention in that
city on the 2lst of October, for the pur-
pose of effecting State organization, to
include American and Mexican mine
owners and superintendents, the object
OF the organization to be to encourage
future legislation favorable to the mining
industry in the State, and secure closer
and more mutual relations between the
Mexican Government and those oper-
atng and developing mines in Sonora.
Among the leading spirits in the move
ment are Governor Carrall and number
of resident Mexican capitalists. The
movement is regarded by mining men to
be the most important ever inaugurated
in the State, and especially of great i'm
portance to the large number of Ameri-

SOME miscreant tried to wreck an out
going passenger train from this city last
night. By good fortune the engineer
saw the obstruction in time to prevent a
blood-curdling accident. Should the
fiendish rascal be discovered, he should
be dealt with in the most summary,
prompt and conclusive manner that
civilized methods sanction under the
most aggravated circumstances.

AEPIONEER MURDERED.
A Quarantine officer Shoots Down
an Old Citizen,

PORTLAND, Ore, September &c.
James F. Bewley, pioneer of '46 was
shot in the streets of Sheridan, Ore, last
evening, by W. McCune, young man
on the Sheridan quarantine force,
and died early this morning.
Bewley lives in McMinnville, and
Mcclure notified Bewley to leave
Sheridan because they were afraid of
smallpox. While parleying about leav-
ing, Mcclure drew pistol and fired into
Bewley's face, the ball entering
the right cheek and lodging in
the brain. Bewley fell backwards
out of his buggy. McCune then turned
and fired several shots at Bewleys son.
Young Bewley returned the shots at Nc
Cune, who ran down the street. Young
Bewley met McCune's father, who
undertook to stop him. The boy
turned on the elder McCune, picked up
stone and struck him Oh the forehead,
knocking him insensible for some time.
The widest excitement prevailed at
Sheridan all night. VIM. McCune has
been arrested.

Change of Venue refused.

SAN Francisco, September 26.--In the
case of Louis Sloss against Juan De Toro,
administrator, and Charles H. Forbes,
the Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
judgment of the Superior Court of San
Diego County, in refusing to grant
change of venue to Sos Angeles. The
property in controversy is in San Diego,
but defendants wished the case tried in
Los Angeles, because they lived in the
latter county. Complaint accuses Juan
De Toro, administrator of the estate of
Augustin Olvera, of having conspired to
cheat the estate. There was no necessity
of selling any property, but De Toro, in
1881, sold to Forbes $500 acres, at $5.O5
per acre, when the land was worth $25
per acre, and rapidly increasing in value.
Forbes resold the land Immediately for
$25 per acre. The prayer was to annul
the sale. Defendants demurred and
moved for a change of venue.

Supposed Incendiarism,

TRUCKEE, September 26.-Oliver Lon
keys planning mill, lumber yard and
stote at Verdi, New, burned to-day.
Lonkey's loss is estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance. Five or six
unoccupled dwellings, and an old freight
depot were also destroyed. The
hre started IN the planning mill.
Parties from Verdi state that the
opinion prevailed that it was an incen-
diary hre, because of Lonkey's employ
ment OF Cinnamon. At 8 O'Clock this
evening the Truckee fire train was again
called to Verdi. Fears are being enter
tanned that from the lumber yard the
IRE would communicate to the business
portion Of the town.

CHAMBERLAIN'S GRATITUDE.

A Scene that Occurred in the Pas
teur Institute at Paris. France.
The Paris correspondent Of the Week.
ly Budget, London, England, has this to
say Of Mr.. Chamberlain, the Texas wool
man, who was bitten by mad wolf and
cured by NJ. Pasteur:
There was rather touching scene ct
the Pasteur institute the other day
when Mr.. Cham berlsin, the wolf-bitten
patient, who came from America to
place himself in M. Pssteur's hands, nm.
derwent the final inoculation, and was
declared to be out OF danger, the period
of incubation being now passed. Mr..
Chamberlain has now been informed Of
the tragic end of the other victim of the
mad wolf which bit him. The poor man,
1t may be remembered, went raving mad
Q matter Of ten days ago, and disap.
pesred into the woods after worrying
little child Of six yesrs. The American
patient, as he camo forward from among
the little knot OF sufferers Of various ma
tionalities, had tears Of gratitude and
gladness In his eyes. M. Pasteur and
his assistants were equally much moved,
the former remarking that he had never
had a more dreadful case. and had never
felt more alarm than when he heard
from America that the other victim had
died Of hydrophobia. After this last in
oculative operation was over the Ameri-
cans present withdrew to the surgery,
where Mr.. Chamberlain's doctor eX-
pressed in heartfelt terms his gratitude
towards M. Pasteur, and begged his ac-
ceptance of 10000 francs for his Insti-
tute. The professor was also presented
with a splendid gold cane and other
souvenirs by the grateful Americans.
When Mr. Chamberlain at length rose to
take his leave his emotion overcame
him, and selling M. Pasteur's hand, he
kissed 1t fervently. The savant babe him
adieu, adding, "Tske back in this loving
embrace my best wishes to your great
country, which shall never see."

A Sad Death.

On Thursday evening q melancholy
accident occurred on South Flores
street near the Arkansas Pass depot,
which resulted in the death Of little
girl named Henry, the daughter Of the
proprietor Of a grocery store in the
neighborhcod. From the facts attained,
Ii seems that the child and her brother
were stealing ride on South Flores
street car. The boy jumped off and
crossed the road safely and the girl at
tempted to do the same, but just then
one of Carter & Mullaly's wagons,
driven by Robert Caldwell, passed,
Knocked her down and the wheels pass
ed over her chest. crushing her lungs
and breaking her collar bone. She was
removed to her fathers residence and
everything possible done for her. but
her injuries were fatal, and in q few
hours her spirit passed away.
The inquest developed the fact that
the driver did all in his power to pre-
vent the accident, and he was exonerat-
ed from blame, but the funeral was fur
nished free of charge by Carter & Null
laly, who were anxious thus practically
to show their sympathy with the parents
In their bereavement.
The inquest is not yet concluded.
