NAPA, Jan. &c. - John Murphy was
lodged in the County Jail here late last
night. charged with an attempt to commit

vile about o'clock last night, where Matt
Vandeuer and Jack Holmes were standing
at the bar in conversation. Approaching

and began shooting at him. In the confu-
sion which followed Vandeluer received a
bullet in the elbow and one in
the hip. while Holmes was shot
just above the groin and in the arm.
No reason for the shooting is given, save
that Murphy says lie lodged in the house
over the saloon, and Vandeluer was max
ing too much noise around there. They had
some words on the subject few DAYS ago,
and last night Murphy was drunk and felt
ugly so proceeded to get even. As the Off

will die, but Vandeluer Will probably re-
cover.

OBITU Al Y
WILLIAM G. FLINT.

The distinctive character of the people
who emigrated to Massachusetts early in the
sixteenth century has been marked in the
history of the country, and their descend
ants have during all these years maintained
an ascendency in shaping, establishing and
controlling the policy of the United States.
William c. Flint could trace his lineage back
to 1886. through nine generations, to the fam
lily of Flints who settled in the old Common
wealth. Death ended his career on Sunday
night he having expired at his residence,
232 Fell street, after an illness of several
weeks, at the age of IS years. and in the
prime of manhood. Several weeks ago he
went to Santa Barbara in hopes that his
falling health might be recruited, but it
awaited nothing, and he returned to kis wife
and family to close his life surrounded by
the comforts of his own home.
The independence of thought high in
tellectuality and rectitude which have
marked the character OF the Flint family
from generation to generation were fully
realized in William C. Flint. He was the
son of DR.. Clement Flint a physician of
New York City. and was born at Sand Lake,
Rensselaer, County, New York, thirteen
miles east of Troy, in 1854, where he was
reared and educated. At the age of 10

The GALLOWS.
Execution Of Ramon Lopez for a Geld.
BlOOdGd Murder.

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 26-Ramon Lo-
PEI was hanged here this morning for the
murder of Mary DeSirello on October 20,
1880. The execution took place in the jail
yard. in the presence of about $50 people.
The arrangements were all perfect and the
execution was completely successful.
AT II o'clock little procession issued
from the jail door, Lopez and the priest in
the lead. The doomed man walked firmly
and held crucifix clasped TO his breast. He
mounted the gallows steps without assist
ance and never quivered or changed coun-
tenance while the fatal moose was adjusted.
Father Campiona, who accompanied him,
addressed the crowd briefly, saying that
Lopez had asked him to say that he
Acknowledged his crime and that hispunish-
ment was just.
At Il :04 O'Clock the Sheriff gave the signal
and the prisoner was FASTENED into eternity.
His neck was broken with the fall and death
was instantaneous. He never moved
muscle nor was the faintest culver or move
ment of the body perceptibe. In fifteen
minutes the body was cut down and taken to
the undertaker's and will be buried to-
morrow.
Lopez crime was a particularly atrocious
one. He had forced his attentions on Mary
Deslrello, young and highly respected girl
and had for months prosecuted her with his
advances, which she repealed. She was en-
gagged to be married to a young man in San
Francisco, and on October Goth, shortly
after learning of her engagement, Lopez
called her out of a neighbours house. and
! alter demanding an explanation from her.
shot her through the body. AS she lay
dying on the ground he STORED over her.
and, with fendish malignity, fired shot after
shot into her body. The crime aroused a
tremendous public feeling and a vigilance
committee was formed to hang him. The
Sheriff hurried the prisoner off to Ventura
and, as he was not safe there, afterward to
Los Angeles, where he was kept a month,
when he was brought back to the jail here,
which was strongly fortified. He vas tried
IN December. His defense was an aggrava-
ton of the crime. He declared that his
victim ha been criminally intimate with
him, which was clearly proven to be false
lie was convicted alter a trial lasting q
week, the jury only being out ten minutes.
His crime, trial and execution all occurred
IN less than 100 days.

The swedes at the orphoum.

An immense house greeted the Swedish
Nishtingales" at the Orpheum last night
and 1.-THE latest musical attraction from
abroad" seems TO have aIght on with the
San Francisco public. There was not a
vacant seat upstairs or down in the vast au-
ditorinm Of the popular "Orpheum Opera
House." The octets and quartets were rem
dered with faultless precision and were
much appreciated; so also were the
solos by Miss Heden and Miss Sun
dins, although the former appeared yery
nervous. Mr.. Days selections were well
received and he was encored after each
of his numbers, in fact as is usual with San
Francisco audiences, double programme
was demanded throughout. The annie
Abbott mystery proved a mystery indeed.
Such an exhibition is beyond all criticism,
for the simple reason that no one knows
anything about the occult force possessed
by the fascinating little lady OF 80 pounds
which 80 pounds was just 80 pounds too
much for the muscular DIR. Boyson to lift
off the floor. The best thing our readers can
do Is to 20 and see the wonder for them

The Baldwin'S auditorium looked brilliant
last evening with its large and elite assem-

her OLD San Francisco stamping ground.
When she entered on the scene the ap-
plause rolled in from parquet balcony and
gallery for at least minute. There has
been rarely so general and so warm wei

appeared at this theater, and the
little woman seemed to feel so, for she
qulvered ID every fiber as she bent her head
IN acknowledgment before the pleasant and
generous volume of sound. During the even
Ing large floral offerings were handed to her
over the footlights, but she called for no
assistance In handling them, walking off al
the prompt side with load of blooms that

sion of meeting her host of friends in this
