DR.. GRAVES.

The sudden announcement of the death
OF DIR. Graves comes with startling effect
from the West. We were hardly prepared
for such strange denouement. We had
always considered DR.. Graves as erratic.
He was given to the sensational. Quack-
ism and pyrotechnic notoriety were what
he constantly courted and sought. He
has lived In that sort OF world for many
years. He was stepped In 1t and his
clothes had the aroma OF sensationalism
always about them.
The Barnaby murder case was IN this
line. We don't mean to say that he was
guilty, nor that he was innocent OF that
terrible crime, but we do say that II he
was he was never proven 80.
This case will be rehearsed once more In
all its details and the name of DIR. Graves
will be on the tongue OF everyone. Even
In death the characteristics OF the man
were uppermost. No death could be more
sensational than suicide In q jall--driven
to 1t through persecution and prosecu.
tion.
We will have In his death another nine
days. wonder and then the world will go
on and the name Of DIR. Graves will be
forgotten and buried In the past. His life
only teaches as how singularly constituted
some mortals be.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.

1t is announced that the Hon. e. d..
McGuInness is candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination OF Mayor Of Provi-
dence. We trust that this is 80. He
would make a strong one and give his
opponent such race as he never had be-
fore.
Mr.. McGuinness is not only popular
and we'll known throughout the city, but
he is a gentleman OF ability and integrity,
and II he were elected he would give the
city an admirable administration and one
no less brilliant than any In the history
OF the municipality. We hope he may be
the candidate.

A SEVERE LESSON.

The terrible railroad accident that oc-
Cured SO recently near Springfield brings
Its lesson to every thinking mind. There
can be no question but what 1t was the
result OF gross criminal negligence. Those
who had charge OF the reconstructed. Z:
the fatal bridge were guilfy Of crime
hardly less terrible In Its consequences
than murder. 1t does seem strange that
great road like the Boston & Albany,
that has the reputation at least of being
careful and conservative, should have any
OF It's emyloyes or It's contractors guilty
to the extent they appear to be in this
case.
Then there can be no excuse for the
awful result In this case. Some one has
blundered and blundered terribly. No
punishment can be too severe to be meted
out to the culprits. II railroad corpora
tions once are made to feel the powerful
hand OF the law In such case II will be a
lesson well taught and well learned.
There Is not only too much carelessness,
but too much endeavor to shun the con-
sequences after they have arrived. We
trust that the Massachusetts, authorities
will not let this matter rest, but will take
up the investigation In intense earnest
ness and bring the responsible parties tn
the dock. Human life IL valuable every.
where and 1t is not to be kept In jeopardy
every honr with impunity. II nothing
else can be done stringent laws should be
enacted putting additional burdens on
the corporations. This should be done
In the interest and for the good of all.

The House of Lords has 1t In its power
for the present to delay some measure OF
justice to Ireland by rejecting the Home

act drawn by Mr.. Parnell, but when

passed 1t. "Trouble" of the same nature
can be started again as the people OF Ire
land are yet fully alive to the situation
and so are the friends OF Ireland all over

CORDANO ACQUITTED.
The Jury Evidently Did Not Believe
the Witnesses

the Witnesses.
The case of the People VS.. Louis Cor
dano, charged with robberp, was on
trial in Judge Catlin's court yesterday
before jury.
Cordano was charged with robbing an
old man named Dennis Cokely, who was
slightly inebriated, first striking him in
the stomach. He had persuaded Cokely,
according to the latters statement at the
preliminary examination, to take'a walk
with him. and when on Fifth street, be-
tween n and 0, assaulted him.
At the trial yesterday Mrs. Mamie
FrateS testified that as she was sweeping
her sidewalk she saw Cordano strike
Cokely and then run away.
Cordano's attorney, w. G. Beigle.
labored hard to convince Mrs. Frates that
it was q case of mistaken identity, or that
her eyesight might be poor, but he found
it impossible to convince her.
The prosecuting witness, Cokely, did
not appear, but District Attorney Ryan
produced his deposition, and in spite of
the hard fight Beigle made to prevent its
introduction, Judge Catlin allowed it to
be read.
1t seemed to outside observers as ii
Cordano had no show to esca pc the State
Prison, but the jury brought in verdict
OF acquittal.
An envelope containing Cokely's name
and an old purse were found on Cordano,
and after the jury had acquitted him YES
terday, he coolly asked to have the purse
given back to him.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

Inc Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land In the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40 so, 12O, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
Subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin.
cipal is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sureo that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and eS-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement Will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
The purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
oody OF land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dtligent hushandry
