The Making Of Scissors.

Though no complexities are involved
in the making of scissors. yet tn" proc
css is very interesting. They arc
forged from good bar steel heated to
rcdness. each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank. OF.
that destined TO become the cutting
part and bow, or that which later on
is fash Toned into the holding portion.
For the bow Il small hole is punched.
and this is aitcrward expanded to tho
proper size by hammcring IL on Il con-
zeal anvil. after which both shank and
bow are filed into more perfect shals,
and the hole bored in the middle for
the rivct. The blades are next ground
and the handles filed smooth and bur
nished with oil and emery. after which
the pairs are fitted together and tested
as to their easy working They arc
not finished. however. They have to
undergo hardening and tcmpcring. and
be again al justcd. after which they arc
finally put together again and polished
for the third time. In comparing tho
edge, of knives and scissors it will lss
noticed. Of course. that the latter are
not in any way sharply ground as
the former. and that in cutting scissors

IN AND ABOUT TOWN.

AN INSANE SERVANT GIRI.-Mary
Connolly, a servant girl with John Wright,
architect, 6l5 Jackson street, was brought
in carriage TO the City prison Yesterday
and booked on the charge of insanity. She
was taken to the Home for Inebriates TO
await her examination before the Insanity
COmmissi toner's.
A BOYS SUDDEN DEATH The body of
George Newnhard II boy sixteen years of
age was taken TO the Morgus from 12l Oak
street yesterday. An autopsy was held
which showed that death was caused by
apoplexy of the brain. The lad was
laborer and a native OF England.
THE BADDELEY INoUEsr.-The in
quest on the body of Harry Baddeley will
be resumed at 2 o'clock this. afternoon.

and her husband was attending as usual

rived he found that L1wJ0n was beyond
all medical aid, and departed. The patrol
wagon was sent for aud took John Carroll
TO the Receiving Hos pita where IL was
found that the bullet had penetrated one
of his lungs.
Mrs. Lawton was nowhere 10 be found.
A few minutes after the tragedy she
dressed her two children and left the
house, it being stated afterwaId that she
had gone with them to the home of her
mother, Mrs. Hart, near the Preside reser-
: walton.
After the body Of John Lawton had been
taken to The Morgue and John Carroll to
the Receiving Hospital Michael Lawtnn
locked up his home and left 10 go to the
home of his sister-in-law in the Mission TO
over it.
For hours the neighbors fingered around
and discussed the terrible tragedy, the
greatest sympathy being exhibited for
John Lawton. while the strongest con-
demnation was uttered against the uD-
faithful wife, whose love for another
mans society had wrecked and ruined
happy home.
When Lawton's body was taken to the
Morgue an examination showed that he
must have been very rlOse TO Daley when
the fatal shot was fired. The bullet en-
tered the heart and death must have been
instantaneous. 1t penetrated his coat,
vest and shirt and the hole in the coat is
burned with powder, showing that the
pistol must have been close To Lawton's
clothing when the bullet was fred. The
shirt aad vest were saturated with blood
and the gaping wound had a horribly
suggestive look.
In the nip pocket of the deceased was
found an 0ld-fashioned four-barreled
''pepper-boX" pistol with one of the bar
rels empty, but the presumption is that the
shot could not have been fired at Daley, as
the deceased, after being shot, could not
have put il back in his hin pocket, as his
death must have been Instantaneous.
Several friends of the dead man called al
the M0reue yesterday afternoon to see the
body, but the Coroner declined 10 satisfy
them till after the autopsy was held
Among the callers was Peter Craven, the
deceased's father-in-law, who was deeply
affected. He said Lawton leaves a wife
and three children TO mourn his loss, and
they were frantic with or eff.
His son. n-in-law was in the plumbing bust
ness for himself, and was doing well. He.
had just finished big Job ut the Ukiah
Asylum. He was a most inoffensive man,
and would not have harmed hair in any
body'S head.
When Daley was locked Up in the city
prison, he was seen by reporter of THE
CALI. He SEEMED in a daZed condition.
and apparently failed TO appreciate the
terrible position in which he had placed
himself.
He was asked if he cared 10 make a
statement, and replied that he did not care
to talk much till he had seen his attorney,
