the disagreement was altogether on points
of fact, and not on legal points. In dis
cussing the matter, the foreman mad
vertently, but with great consideration
for the reporters present, let slip the
important fact to them that the seven
were for conviction. Before he could
state how the ether five stood, the Court
silenced him; bat it was irrelevant, inn
material and incompetent. The fact was
before the newspaper jury, and they could
easily conjecture how the five stood on
! . matter.
The Court again ordered the jury back
to their quarters, and kept them there
until they had been out nearly fifty
hours in all, when he turned them loose
as unable to determine the fact of Gar
rett's guilt or innocence.
Later on HERALD reporter met one OF
the jurors, an old soldier who lost his
arm in some battle, and tried to CLEAN
from him some linking rs to who the
five men were who disagreed, but he
said: ~ do not want ever to cay word
on this case again to any one." A mo.
ment later another OF the twelve came
up, and he was silent as the grave, too.

The number of deaths from phthisis

DIR. Colburn in commenting on these
figures Gays it will be seen from these
tables that $3.50 or 23 8 10 per cent. or
nearly one-quarter Of all deaths which
occurred in our city were due to con-
sumption, and of this number 1854, or so. %
per cent. we're foreigners. DR.. John S.
Billings, of the United States army,
than whom there is no better authority,
in his lecture on vital and medical statis-
tics delivered before the Alumni Associa-
ton of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of New York, asks this Gues-
ton, "What is a fair or normal death
rate ?" and then goes on to say, taking
an average healthy rural district in the
United states where there is little migrs-
ton, the annual gross death rate for the
whole population will be from Is to 10
per 600.
In towns of from 1000 10 $4,000 in.
habitants, having a good general water
supply and proper sewerage, the gross
daoth rato chrt,ld MT cxoooA lie ms
1000. In cities from 10000 to 100, 00e
per l 900, while in cities over 100, 900
l 600. He says further the great causes
of high death rate are poverty, over
crowding, intemperance, excess in heat
and cold with moisture, foul air, bad
foed, impure water, uncleanlinees, con-
tagion, ignorance, &C.
By reference to the above tables it will
be seen that our average death rate per
600 Of inhabitants since 1883 has bean
less than that given by DR.. Billings as a
fair average for rurul districts. But
some will say that there has been an
overestimate OF our population and hence
the rates can not be correct. But the
most skeptical will hardly claim that our
population in 1885 was less than 40, 000,
or lees than $4,000 in 1887, or less than
| Go 900 in 1888.
Granting that the proportions in these
years were overestimated and that TIE
| figures just given are more nearly cor.
rect, still taking the whole number of
deaths for each of these years it would
give us death rate of only II per 600
in 1886, ID for 1887 and 10 and fraction
for 1883, which, as will readily be seen,
is much below the average given by Dr..
Billings for small towns.

THE CALIFORNIA ON WHEELS.
1t Leaves for the East-Many
Visitors Yesterday.

1t Leaves for the East-Many
visitors Yesterday.
In spite Of the rain which fell without
cessation yesterday, the California on
Wheels" at the Wolfskill depot, WAS
visited by az many people as on the day
before. A long string of people holding
umbrellas over their heads extended
back several hundred feet from the car.
1t must be admitted that many of the
visitors expressed dissatisfaction at the
show, but all were constrained to admit
that it was complete in the variety of
products which it covered, and that it
was artistically arranged. Everyone ad-
mitted moreover that the display was
one which WAS we'll suited to excite in
terest and admiration among eastern
people. The objection seemed to be
based on the fact that the show did not
consist of eight or ten cars instead Of two,
and that Los Angeles county did not have
as much space as it desired.
1t must be remembered that the arti-
cles which are carried have to be Of an
imperiahable sort, which fact crowds ont
a great many of the products that are
usually displayed at fairs.
The Los Angeles display was consider
ably improved yesterday by the addition
of quantity Of fresh oranges of superb
size and color, which will last until they
are replaced by others sent on by freight.
A fine case of oils from the Oil Burning
and Supply Company, some Sespe stone
and number of minerals were added to
the exhibit.
The cars left the city for New Orleans
at 40 last evening over the Southern
Pacific.
