CHILDREN FIND GRAVE.
''The next day we three children went
down into the basement and found a
newly made mound of earth in one cor
ner and we came up and told Mrs Mer-
rill about it and she told us not to say
anything of it. We had previously found
a mound in another corner and some
bones in a barrel of lime in the cellar,
but didn't know, being children, what
they were there for.
Mrs. Merrill made me swear on a
Bible that I would not tell anything
about what I had seen, and at another
tirae she hung me on the wall by the
neck, evidently intending to kill me, but
changed her mind and let me down.
"The other mound in the basement
and the barrel of lime were the graves
of two young NOrwegians, who had
come mere ON n snip. tn1nk tney were
sailors, and went to live nt our place.
Mrs. Merrill killed them both and took
their bodies into the basement. Their
mother wrote from Norway to learn
about them, and the police came to our
hOusa where they had been last heard
of, and mother, as 1 called her, told
them the young men had gone from
there. She took $500 from their trunk
and then sent their mother Bible that
one of them had owned and n letter of
sympathy.
Mrs. Merrill came from Vermont Her
maiden name was Latham. She married
Merrill there in 1S47 and they went to
Boston. He left her and their baby in
1858 and she came to California. In 1852
she married a student named Goodwin,
and he soon left her and went to Ann
Arbor She had a child by him, which
subsequently died. DR.. Coolridge was
best man at the second marriage. She
was supposed to be widow. The child
by Merrill died and she adopted a little
girl named Josie, who was of very good
parents, and coming to California passed
her off as the child khat had died Mer-
rill never knew the difference. In 1866 she
went back to Boston. Goodwin had then
gone to Europe On that trip she adopt

COMPLAINT NOT JUST

The people of the north should not complain of the steamship companies for devotlng so many of their ships to the excursion trade this summer, The business vas much larger than anyone expected 1t would be, It came on rath' CT suddenly and 1t was impraeticable to attempt to secure extra boats to handle it. It would be an injury to both the steamship lines and the north country had it been refused. All the compan- les have done their best to have it in- ,srIere As little as possible with the regular Alaskan and Yukon trade, More could not be asked of them in fairness
 While a few people probably have been disconveuienced to more or less insignificant degree on account of these large excursions, the good to the eoun' try generally and all that have interest therein has been so great that the in jured have DO just cause for complaint,
 Considered aside from the question of roit to the steamship comPani s, and only from the standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest number, the excursioucarriers acted for the best interest Of the people in doing as they done.
