SALEM, Or, Feb. 9.-The Legislature
met in joint session and was called to
order by Senator Broynell at noon. Just
as calling OF the roll began. Senator
Patterson ran in and moved that the roll
call be dispensed with and that the Joint
session adjourn until noon to- morrow.
1t appear. that two Democrats who re-
Gently went to Mitchell were not in at

Mitcheliites intended 10 make speeches
and withdraw from his force became
current For these reasons a sudden ad-
Iournment took place. This report is evil
DENLY well founded, as The anti Mitchell
ties are all smiling. while the Mitchellites
are correspondingIy detected. 1t is plain
that no reconciliation can be effected.
II has just developed that Ex-Governor
PenDoyer has written letter calling upon
the Populists to support Mitchell. H s
advice VIII not be needed, as the Populists

Lichf Sentence

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Feb. 9.-George
Green. one OF the trio which one night in
December last looted and burned the
house OF Baptista Bodie in the Alpine dis
trict, was permitted in the Superior
court TO withdraw his plea of guilty to the
burglary charge against him and substi-
tute plea of guilty to the lesser
offense of petty larceny. This disposes
of a case which in some respects is
unparalleled in the history Of this county,
and in which were combined the offenses
OF burglary, arson and, but for the inter
ventlon and interference of Green, what
might have proved murder.
The trio, Boyce, Tam and Green by
name, went TO the Bodie House which
at the time was occupied by an old French
man named Frank Shumet. Tam called
Shumet TO the door.
He was taken and bound and blind
folded, Tam threatening to kill him an d
throw him into an old we'll. de was led
TO a spot 200 yards distant and tied to a
tree. After -ransacking the house, i. was
set on fire.
Shumets blind was removed and he was
permitted to view the destruction Of the
building, an eight-room cottage.
Before leaving the old man some one
suggested that they gag him and let him
strangle by slow degrees.
Here Green interfered, saving Shumet'.
life.
All three were arrested for the crime.
Green made full confession TO the officers
and pleaded guilty to the charge of burg
larry.
Tam also pleaded guilty to the same
ohense. Boyce pleaded not guilty, was
tried by jury and convicted of burglary
in the first degree after trial lasting two
days. Tann was sentenced 10 ave year:
in San Quentin; Boyce was given fifteen
years.

Capitol Building.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 9.-Matters
are becoming very lively around the halls
of legislation, and the breaking of the
monotony, even though it may involve
the breaking of head or two, is received
with satisfaction. Joe Brooks, one of the
Assem- bly, attaches, and Long John Will
kins had a war of words last night, and
Brooks was arrested early this mornin 2
on complaint of wilkins on a charge of
disturbing the peace.
Long John has a friend in the person of
John Wyllie. the Governors colored mes
senger. Wyilie is as tall, as black and as
sinewy as Peter Jackson. This afternoon
during the reading OF the Governors me IS
sage in the Assembly Wyllie and Brooks
met in the hallway near the entrance TO the
Asse mbly cham Der and came to blows.
Tney were separated by a Assistant Ser
geant-at- Arms Lam phrey before any dam
age as done. Brooks is a SIN all man be-
low the average height, but be held up his
end Of the fight very well.
The origin OF the trouble was practical
Joking on the part of several attaches. 1t
appears that Long John wilkins took pos
session OF one of the gentlemen's rooms
about the BEGINNING of the session, and
,OAn tHab tIule W lne present mas kept II
clean, with the expectation OF being placed
on the permanent roll before the end of
the session, his pay to begin from the date
OF his taking charge of the room in the
capacity of rear porter. The trouble re-
garding the alleged excess of attaches pre-
vented Wilkins being placed on the roll,
but he has hope. Several waggish at
taches have been twitting Wilkins-a bout
his position, and Wilkins accused Brooks
OF being the ringleader. The whole OF the
San Francisco Assem- bly, delegation have
been subpenaed by Brooks to appear in
the police court tomorrow to testify to
his good reputation.

ROMANCE or ASTORIA.
Not KnoWIng That Her Husband Had Ia
hsrits6 Fortune Mrs. Zarosi
EIopes WITT q Gambler.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb 9. - Miguel
Zsroni, an erstwhile Astoria fisherman,
who has Just returned from q six months
visit to Italy, is in sole distress.
When he departed from Astoria for his
native land, three months ago, ne left De-
hind wife ana two children, and in the
womsn's keeping was $3.50 hard-esrned
cash.
Zaroni says that his domestic life had
never been clouded BY any disccrd, and
he always believed himself possessed Of
the undivided affections Of his wife, who
was very exclusive and q soclated very lit
tie with her counIryHomen.
So when he returned 10 Astoria last
Saturday from EuroDe and found his little
home locked and barred, and his wife and
babies absent, he was greatly surprised.
His surprise was soon changed into
despair when an Italian friend handed
him letter from his wife, dated fort
night ago, in which she aYowed her pur-
pose TO elope with Michael Ivancoyich, q
Slavonian gambler, whose acquain tance
she had formed during her husbands ab-
sence.
In the letter the woman added that she
would split In two what remained OF the
little fortune the husband left in her
care-then amounting to S2000-depositing
whom she left her farewell letter.
In conclusion the faithiess wife wrote
that she was going to live in San Fran
cisc0 with Iyancoyicb. and that, while
Zaroni had always been a kind husband
TO her, nothing would induce her to re-
turn 20 him. She was tired Of him.
Zaroni said that when he read these
Lies he felt as if the blood in his veins
had turned 10 ice. He came 10 Portland
on the Sunday morning steamer for z con-
sUltation with his friends
Zaroni claimed that on the eve OF his
departure from Italy q wealthy uncle OF
ms died in Florence. begUeaih.8g TO him
q sum equal 10 $4,000 IN American
money.
Zsroni added that now all he had to
live for were his two children. He felt
certain that his wife had written
the truth about going to san Fran
cisco, whittier he would follow this
evening or to-morrow TO gain posse ssion
OF the little ones. If his present mood
has not changed when be reaches the bay
he is more than likely TO attempt TO xiii
