Her INNOCENCE PROVED.

On the 18th of June, Colonel Thurber
died Suddenly Of poison, bg whom admin
istered was unknown.
His niece, label Charteris, was with
him at the time, and being his heiress,
and the only person benefited by his
death, was arrested Oh suspicion,
She indignantly denied the murder,
and was acquitted on the ground of in
sufficient proof.
Her acquittal did not convince the
community of her innocence. Her lover
asked to be released from his engage
ment to her, and she set him free haught-
lily, and left the country.
The circumstance of the murder were
peculiar.
Colonel Thurber had been i'll, and his
niece was sitting with him late one eve
ming. He was asleep.
Her story WAS that she went out upon
the terrace on which his room opened for
a few moments. When she returned, a
masked man was standing neal the bed.
He turned as she entered and walked
leisurely by her, bowling as he went, and
saying:
Don't be afraid, madame
Wondering and frightened, she hur-
ried to her uncle, but found him sleeping
still, and it being time to give him his
medicine, she administered it as soon as

Several lawyers were discussing the
jury system yesterday at the recess.
81 can tell you of IN instance, " said one
of them, illustrating the utterimbecility
you mightcall it-of the average juror.
''The case was on II promissory note for
$1,000. The point which the defendant
made was that there was no considera-
ton. There was one of two things upon
which the lawyers agreed-the man who
gave the note owed it or he didn't owe it.
Those were the two propositions. The
arguments were made upon them. The
jury retired and brought in a verdict Tor
$50. And that is Il sample of your aver
age juror. "-Chicago Times

Y, MI, G. A. Concert.

A good house greeted the Woody Bros
concert given under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association
at the First Congregational Church
last night 1t was the desire OF
the brothers that the engagement
should be cancelled here on account of the
serious illness of Mr.. A. NJ Woody, who has
been confined to his room at Pasadena for
some days. However, the parties having
the management of the concert would not
bear to postponment and Mr.. Fred Nay
was prevailed upon 10 take Mr.. Woody's
place, which he did acceptably after short
rehearsal.
The following programme was highly ap-
precisted, as evidenced by the frequent ap-
plause and hearty encores
"Remember thy Creator"-Rhodes:
Dancing Ger the Waves"-White; who
Built the Ark?'-Leslie; mot Ashamed of
Christ banks; silent Meditations"-
Giffe: Tenor Solo, SCOUT Fred Nay;
''Sweet and "-Bomby; California
Laughing sopg"-Frank Woody; "Down by

Laurie'-Buck; "Oid Mother Hubbard =
Leslie. The singers in the Woody concerts
ale N. NJ, A. NJ, NJ p, H. A. and Miss Mag
gle Woody. All are frst-class, having
naturally good and cultivated voices, but,
perhaps, the greatest success of their pOpu-
lar concerts is due to thorough and long
training in h orus singing, their voices
blending and breaking forth as if from q
well-tuned instrument.

The Mfnstrels Continue to Draw
Crowded Houses.

The patronage which Hayerly's Minstrels
have been receiving since their arrival here
is not diminishing, as was attested by the
large audience which assembled to witne 8
their efforts in the Opera House last even
ing. No noticeable change has been made
in the programme as yet, though additiona!
specialties are announced ere the close of
the engagement. The departure which has
been made from the usual minstrel style of
dressing is very pleasing feature, and the
costumes worn by the ballad singers are
very handsome and look very effective be-
hind the footlights. Hilton, the snake
man, ,"gives a very remarkable performance,
his contortions conveying the idea that he
is without any vestige of backbone. His
fe at of picking upa handkerchief with his
teeth while standing on the tops of two
chairs must be seen to be believed. The stat
uesque poses of the Herbert Morello troupe
are very realistic and are much admired.
A large percentage of the audience
anxious to avoid the crush at the exit,
leave ere the performance of the last
number, but in so doing, they miss one of
the most humorous parts OF the programme.

Brick for Chino.

Mr.. Harrington, OF South Riverside, has
entered into a contract with Mr.. Richard
Grid to burn 100000 bricks for build
ing in Chino. These bricks, are to be
burned on the ranch just south of Chino
creek, near the dairy, on the site chosen
a couple of weeks since. It is about two
miles from this town. The brick are to be
the best machine made, and the first deliv-
cry is to be not later than May LIST. Mr..
Harrington has taken a long lease of the
land. He has thoroughly tested the clay
and proven it to be the very best he has ever
found in a long experience of making
brick. Pure water naturally runs over the
land.
Here will be one of the largest brick
factories in the State. The demands OF
this section for brick have at all times
exceeded the supply. Mr.. Harrington
says he will make an immense quantity,
and will at once order the necessary ma
chimes and make all necessary prepara-
tiops. This is very Important step to-
wards substantial building in Chino. 1t is
solid step forward and win be followed
by others very soon.-IChino Valley Cham.

The Cost to Hancock Count, so Far, About
$4,000.
1t is stated that so far the Baker murder
tIisl has cost Hancock county in excess Of
SIS. 600. To offset this is the perso2al es-
tate of Mrs. Baker, worth about So, $50,
which will fall 10 him in the very probable
event that a will never turns up, and on
which the county, it is said, has the first
clsim. Some months sg) he made over all
his claim 10 it ID his attorneys, Doneho7,
Cook and Braddock, snd there is q posi-
bility of some litigation as to which clam
is the best. His attorneys certainly did
good work for bin and a good deal of it
probably as much as they desire to DO for
the compensation fairly in prospect. The
So. 000 bonds found in the house will prob
ably descend II Mrs. MCWha's heirs in
regular ours of law.
The Wslls6urg Herald says: "Various
IumOrs and reports are sfl7at as to what lie
next to be done in the Baker case, but 80
far we are not reliably advised that any
thing has been actually done beyond the
notice Of application for a new trial, which
DOES not u:ually signify much. A motion
Of the sort seems TO follow a conviction for
murder almost as a matter of course, and
is regarded pretty much as a mere formal
ity. II would be hard 20 imagine up)n
what grounds any objection can be sus.
tsined to having the verdict as rendered
take it's course without unusual delay.
He will never get a fairer trial aud it is
not likely hat the evidence would be in
snywise different from what it has been in
the two trials already had. TIE pardon
irg power is always available in case the
unexpected occurs"
