Will Not Convict.

VIII NOT COnNlcts
SAN RAFAEL, December 13th.-Y Yesterday
there was trial before Justice Gardner OF
the People vs. Coffey & Eseallier, charging
the defendants with violating Ordinance
So, Marin county ordinances, in selling
liquor without a license. Some months
ago Coffey e. Escallier purchased piece of
land near Ross Station and short dis
tance from some of the residences of the
local 400.
An application with bonds was made to
the Board of Supervisors, backed by argu-
ments of prominent attorney, but it was
no avail-the license was refused. Cotfey
and Escallier, believing they had complied
with the law, opened their inn, on which
they had spent their entire capital.
The place proved to be an eyesore and an
irritating element to many of the aristo'
cratic residents of Ross valley, and they
called in the services of Morse's detective
agency to their relief. Detective Cullandan
was provided with an outline of the ordl-
nance and in company with Detective
Triplett, on November 17Ih, started on
their work. They visited the saloon o.
Coffey & Escallier and bought and dranE
several drinks. Meeting Mr.. Wells, they
| invited him to refreshments and liquor, o
which he partook. -,

The Railway Loan-Chinese IanInigratiom
Strongly Favore5A
CITY OF MEXICO, December 3th-It is
officially denied that the son of the Minis
ter of Finance has negotiated railway
subvention lean at Paris. The Government
has several propositions for such loan be-
fore it, Englis,t, French and German, and
when once plan is settled on all the capi-
tai required can be had at moderate inter
est.
The great need of the country is immi-
grafton, and the journals OF all parties urge
that practical measures be adopted to bring
in Immigrants. The success of the Chimes
miners in the territory of Lever California
attracts much attention. The Chinese have
shown remarkable aptitude for mining op-
Grafton, and as the supply of miners is in
adequate in the border States there is
growing sentiment il favor of their extern
sive introduction.
The Government is said to be negotiating
a treaty Of friendship commerce and navi-
CATION with the Peki2g Government, and
Mexico will assuredly cultivate friendly re-
lations with a country which to dsy is her
greatest market for silver dollars. The Gov
eminent will define a particularly friendly
Asiatic policy.

Exciting Developments Brought Out at a
Coroner's Inquest.


New YORK, December 19th.-Two wild
ows mourned for Richard Johnson (col-
ored) at the inquest to- day. Johnson was
one Of those burned at the big pier fire
few dsys ago. While the hearing was in
nroeress the Coroner asked if any relatives
of the dead man wished to testify. This
was the signal for John W. Jefferson,
,loneshoreman, to present TO the Coroner
Young colored woman, who promptly an,
nouneed herself as the wife OF Johnson and
the mother of his five children.
At this there was noise in the rear OF
the Courtroom. and white woman, about
70 wears of age, clad in black, gllded
swiftly forward 10 the Coroner's desk:
When she threw aside her vail she revealed
rather a comely Irish face. She shook neI
| finger at Mrs Johnson No. l, and cried
out: "She amt his wife at all I'm his
wife, and I'll prove it."
It was with difficulty that the Coroner
kept the women quiet, and as soon as tht
| inouest was over both stuck their marriage
certificates under his nose. That of No. ]
| (the colored woman) said that Henrietta
Irving of Philadelphia was married tt
Johnson on January IS, 1876. That OF 70
2 said that Mary Sutton was married to thu
same man in New York on October 4, 1856
| Johnson had a third wife, coloret
woman, in Philadelphia.
The women would have got into figh
had not their friends kept them apart
They did have a struggle almost immedi
ately over the body for the possession
Johnson's little sstchel, which the blac
widow brought into Court.
Mrs. Johnson No. . subsequently entere
a complaint at the Police Court that th
two black widows of the deceased raidee
her home and carried off her husband
valuables while she was at his funeral.

going on, but he does his duty nobly and
seems to be in his element. He enters
into the spirit of battle like human be-
inc. He shows no fear of death, and 1t Is
singular that if his mate is shot down he
will turn to look at him and seem pleased.
"a horse in my battery was once struck
by piece of shell, which split his SKULL
so that one side was loose. The driver
turned him loose. but he walked up by the
side and watched the firing, and when
shot was fred would look away in the dl'

Inch XaterYleit Gun.

WASHINGTON, December 14th.-Secretary
Proctor and General Benet Chief OF Ord
nance, are enthusiastic to-day over the sue
cessfui trial of the new eight-inch gun
manufactured at the Watervleit Arsenal
and tested at the Sandy Hook, n. j., prov
ing ground. 1t was fired fifteen times and
the charge gradually increased from 70
pounds American powder to 140 pounds
German brown powder. With the latter
charge 3O0-pound solid shot was given a
muzzle velocity of 1 957 feet.
This trial far exceeded any other eight
inch gun ever tried. The gun weighs IA i
tons and is the first one ever produced OF
all American steel and forged by American
mechanics. The forgings were obtained
from the Midvale Steel Company, Pennsyl-
yania. AT distance of 900 yards pro-
fectile will penetrate II inches steel or 16
inches iron. At an elevation of twenty
five degrees rrojectile can be thrown
eight miles. The Department is also pre-

They Revere the Constitution and Love
the United States.


SALT LAKE, December 13th.-Wilford
Woodruff, George @. Cannon and Joseph
F. Smith, apostles of the Mormon Church,
have issued another manifesto unquali-
fiedly denying all the charges made against
the church in the recent hearing. before
Judge Anderson. So far as any doctrine
or teaching of the church being hostile to
the United States Governmentis is concerned,
the members of the church are under di-
vine command to revere the Constitution
as Heaven-inspired instrument, and obey
it as supreme TO all laws made in pursu-
ance of its provisions.
The signers of the manifesto regard the
attempt to exclude aliens from naturaliza-
ton and citizens from the elective franchise
on account of membership of the Mormon
Church as impdlitic, and a dangerous en-
croachment upon civil and religious lib
erty. They earnestly appeal to the Amer
ican press and people not to condemn the
Latter Day Saints unheard.
