of the suburbs. Charles Burnside, the old
gentleman's son, was serving term in the
Kansas Penitentiary for grand larceny
when the wedding occurred. His sentence
was for two years, and when it was nearly
completed he escaped, remaining away
about one month. Then he voluntarily
returned 10 prison aud surrendered to the
authorities. After his release be came home
and lived in his fathers house. 1t was not
long before an intimacy grew up between
him and his young stepmother. The ex-
convict and Mrs. Burnside soon plotted to
kill the husband and father. Their plans
were well laid and circumstances favored
the consummatioD of the awful crime. The
old gentleman became sick, and of this ad-
vantage was at once taken. Young Burn
side procured box of rat poison, made
some powders and began administering
them with the medicine left by the doctor.
Soon it was decided to discard the doctors
medicine and administer rat poison exclu-

Burnside died.

The "Recor6s- Unions" Special Reporter
Telegrapbs from Delta.
From RECORD UNIONS Special Correspondent
DELTA, February 1st-The north bound
work and outfit train, on board Of which is
your correspondent, last night laid at
side-track called Gibson, about eight miles
above here. Before night the engines pro-
ceeded to Tunnel 9 with provisions for the
gang OF men coming south, and found them
working on slide at the north end OF the
tunnel. This is the largest obstruction yet
encountered, and though over one hundred
men have been at work on it whole day
and night, there yet remains a space over
one hundred feet long and ten feet deep to
be shoveled out.
Like other slides, the dirt and rock keeps
slipping, and the rain which is pouring
down at this writing aids the mud il
sliding, and the result is disheartening to
the men.
The crew of men on the train with your
reporter are a particularly jolly gang.
Many are Sacramento men who have been
employed in the SHIPS, and all are good
workers, and no growl is heard among
them.
Immense slides have occurred on the
slopes bordering the river on the opposite
side from the track, and dirt and rock can
be seen rolling and slipping into the stream
discoloring it, and sending down huge
roots OF trees.
This morning crew of men walked up
from the train to the slide at Tunnel 8 and
commenced work OF it. They may finish
it tonight but it is doubtful, and Dunsmuir
will probably not be reached till Sunday
night
The RECORD UNION is the only paper
which has special correspondent up here,
and RECORD UNIONS are the only late
papers the people up here have seen for
weeks.
Your correspondent came down here
from Gibson this morning on an engine
which was almost out of wood and water.
The engine was ordered to wait here until
the special from Redding comes up with
supplies for the north. The engineers on
the work train are John Clark, and Con
Ford, Firemen Leo Wells and VIM. Man
ming. Conductor. Thos Williams. Brake
men Ike Hyman, II. NJ. Anderson and E.

THE eARNEss HOMICIDE.
Report That Second Pistol Was Found
on the Saloon Floor.

on the Saloon Floor.
SAN FRANcIsco, February 1st.-D. Fl.
Arnold of Colusa, the man who shot s.
w. Garness in the Peerless Saloon last
Thursday, is taking bis confinement in the
City Prison very easily, and seems even to
enjoy it. He still preserves his silence. as
far as the shooting is concerned. and ALSO
lutely refuses to talk either OF it or its
cause. He does not appear at all concerned
over the fact that Garness is dead; in fact,
he appears to be rather glad than other
wise. Last night attorney Bayne of Colusa
arrived and had an interview with his
client This morning he again visited
him at the prison. Upon leaving, a re-
porter questioned him about the shooting,
but he would not talk.
When the case was called in Judge Law
1er's Court by consent it was postponed
until next Friday The impression ap.
pears to be growing that Gsrness had
nothing to dc with the publication of the
mali. nant circulars, and a great many of
those who are familiar with the case are of
the opinion that the circulars were not the
real cause of the shooting.
Arnold, by his demeanor, plainly DEM
onstrates that in his own mind he had a
good and sufficient reason for his action in
shooting Garness, and that when he chooses
TO make it public it will make very COM
plete and successful defense
A new element was introduced iuto the
affair last night by the statement of John
Chenowith, the proprietor of the saloon in
which the shooting occurred. He says he
was standing at his desk few feet away
when he heard the first shot. He immedi-
ately ran to the little room and grasped
Arnold's arm as be fired the fifth shut.
Garness was on his hands and knees and
Arnold was standing over him. As Mr..
Chenowith entered he says his foot struck
against an object which he kicked across
the floor. He looked at it and saw that il
was pistol Other people who entered
after he did must have picked up the
weapon and taken it away.
Officer Whalen, who received Arnold's
pistol from Chsnowith, says that when he
entered the saloon he met the latter and
told him to give him the weapons. Chen |
owith handed him the pistol which he had |
taken from Arnold, with the remark. |
That's ihe only pistol there was" or |
something to the same effect. At that time. |
he states, nothing was said of a second re-
Folyer.
1t now appears that Arnold and Garness
have had frequent quarrels beside the one |
in the Occidental Hotel. On one occasion.
in the Richelieu Saloon, they had hot
words, aud several bystanders noticed that
Arnold neryously fingered revolver
which be carried 10 his oVerccat pocket
He appeared to be violently angry, and it
was only by the most severe efforts that be
could control himself
The body of Garness is still at the
Morgue, The autopsy hss not yet been !

The last even distant relative of Aar

The last even distant relative Of Aaron
Burr is dead. He was halter He was
born in western New York as long ago as
1910, and ent to the metropolis to learn
the hatter's trade. He patented a hat
machine about 1852. Up to that time hat
bodies had been made by hand. Burr's
machine so revolutionized the business
that in 1856 100000 hats we're made
upon this machine. For many years he
virtually had a monopoly of the hat trade,
and when his patent expired in 1872, he
had amassed great fortune His father
was Aaron Burr's first cousin, and his
grandmother sister of Jonathan Edwards.
He sprang from that large Burr family
that once lived near Cooperstown. Now
that he is dead, it will be exceedingly hard
to find another man bearing the name of
Burr who is even remotely connected with
the Inflated but brilliant man who was

they were treated as Rebels, their goods
were looted by soldiers, they were refused
protection and exposed to the assaults and
thievery of Indians and generally i'll
treated.
The document charges General Sir Fred
erick Middleton, Commander of the North
west expedition, with appropriating a large
stock of furs belonging to one Bremner, for
which Bremner has never been compen-
sated The appeal says: 1--WE have proof
that General Middleton took these furs
under the pretense of keeping them safe for
Bremner We have proof that these furs
were shipped by General Middleton's order
to himself and others, and when the depu-
tation brought that matter before the Min
lister of the Interior we were assured that
Bremner would be paid for his fnTs,
whether he would be paid for his other

ONLY SENTIMENT.
Canada's Relations With Great Britain
Not Binding.

Not Binding.
New YORK. February 1st.- Goodwin
Smith made speech before the Nineteenth
Century Club last evening. Referring to
the political relations between Canada and
the United States, he said that Cansda's re-
lations with England were those of self
governed colony.
There was no tie between those two
countries but sentiment, which was cable
now worn to its last strand and the end of
the connection was near. As to Canada
and the United States, their separation was
merely an historical accident, as the result
of the Civil War.
The people were identified in language
and religion. In conclusion, the speaker
said: Leaving politics and politicians to
take their course, and questions OF Imperial
federation or Canadian independence will
be gradually settled. Why should we not
enter at once into the enjoyment of the
great commercial benefit. and OF the social
and moral benefits which it brings in its
train?
"If commercial union is embraced there
would be an end of these wretched bicker-
ings, which otherwise will never have an
end. Your relations with the people OF
Canada must be intimate and increasing,
intimate as the power of unifying forces
grows. Adopt toward them that policy
which you deem best, provided it is delib-
ate and steadily pursued, but do not poison
and estrange their hearts"
