AFTER THE BATTLE.
An Incident That Seemed to Explain

An Incident That Seemed to Explain
Joshus's Miracle.
There was IN incident in our life at
Brandy. connected with Gettysburg,
which is worth relating. Batchelder,
whose map of the battlefield of Gettys-
bury is authority and whom we had
fallen in with while we were there,
asked to join our mess at Brandy when
ne came to the army to verify tile po-
sitiOnS of the various commands. One

Attempted Suicide.

Peter Genolio, the new proprietor
of the Central hotel, attempted to end
his troubles by the suicide route last
Wednesday. About noon the attention
of city marshal Huberty was attracted
by seeing some women on the second
story porch weeping bitterly. He rush
ed up stairs to ascertain the cause.
He found Genoio lying on the BED
covered with blood, and the life fluid
still gushing from wound in his
throat He endeavored to stop the
flow of blood as much as possible,
while others went for the medical aid.
Drs. Gall and Sprague were soon on the
scene. The victim had slashed him
self across the throat with razor,
which had dropped from his hand or
the floor after the commission of the
deed. The cut was a deep and dan
gerOuS one, but the main arterey and
windpipe escaped. The injuries were
dressed, and the patient in short
time was walking around. CenoliO
admits having inflicted the wound, the
object being to shuttle off the mortal
coil. He explained afterwards TO the
physician that the act was done in a fiji
of despondency over the purchase of
the hotel. He bought the business from
Gallo last week, paying $500 for the
same, so it is reported. Believing that
he paid too much, he fell ntoa des-
pondent mood, and the attempt on his
own life was the result, He is man
of family He will recover unless I'm
looked for complications arise.

A MONSTER SKULL.
One That Was Said to Be Bigger Than
a BusheI Basket

Bushel Basket.
One of the most remarkable finds of
gigantic human remains Of which we
have any record was that said to have
been made ut Palermo. Sicily. in the
year 1916. when an entire skeleton of
unheard of proportions was unearthed
by some marble quarry men. These
mammoth remains measured exactly
thirtyfour feet from headste foot and
nine feet seven inches from point to
point Of the shoulders.
a stone aX buried with this old time
giant may still be seen at Palermo in
section ~ Of the ST. Isorent museum.
II is made of Il blush looking. fine
grained bowlder and appears to be
about two feet eight inches long by one
foot broad and nine inches through in
the thickest place. A musty, rusty look
ing tag attached TO the relic informs
the visitor that it weighs fifty-two
pounds. but the general verdict is that
1t could not weigh over thirty or thir-
ty-live pounds
The skeleton was burned by a mob
in the year 1862 during the prevalence
of the black death at Palermo. the
ignorant. superstitious people believ-
ing that it was connected in some mys-
terious way with the death dealing dis

Animal Mimicrv.

OhsCrN prs OF nature are frequently
struck with the singular resemblances
of insects to leaves. dried sticks. etc,
and these likenesseS are supposed to
have grown out OF the necessity Of
protection against or concealment
from enemies. An interesting example
of this kind Of resemblance was
brought tn the attention Of the En-
tomological society in London by
naturalist. who exhibited u spider
found inhablting some rocks near
Cannes. on which were also fastened
the eases of Il species OF moth. When
ut rest the spider exhibited almost
precisely the same form and color as
the moth cases surrounding ii.

THREE COUNTIES
DISCUSS MATTERS
Supervisors Convention

A convention of supervisors of three
counties of Tuolumne, CalaveraS and
Amador was held in Jackson in the
superior court room, on Monday
afternoon last. The proceedings were
public. Any person was at liberty to
listen to the discussion. There were
present the following supervisors: Paul
Morris, Sylvester Carlon, Alexander
Mckenzie and Victor Solari of Tuolumne
county; W N Garland and Jacob Tower
of Calaveras county, John Strohm, D.
A. Fraser and L. Burke of Amador
county.
Paul Morris was elected temporary
chairman, and D. Burke secretary.
Outside of the supervisors named,
there were only three or four persons
present listening to the proceedings. A
discussion enSued on county affairs
generally, the main theme being liquor
licenses.
II was stated that Tuolumne county
received a revenue of $4,000 from
liquor licenses outside of the city of
Sonora The closing of saloons at mid
night was recommended. Also that
selling in wholesale quantities should
not be permitted on a retail license.
Bars in business places other than
saloons should be in full public views.
Garland was in favor of high license
all the traffic would bear. Old tim
mers in the business should be looked
after, and wayside places with watering
trouehs should receive consideration.
Burke expressed the opinion that
licenses we're entirely too low in ANA
dor county. He favored limiting the
number of saloons In cases of plying
habitual drunks with liquor the license
of the offending saloonman should be
taken away on the slightest complaint of
anyone; whether a relative of the vic
tim or not
The granting of liquor licenses in
the redlight districts wss condemned.
Other subjects were touched upon.
Morris thought that the expenses
of officials incurred in attending
conventions such as the one then in
session should be paid by the county
treasures, There was some talk about
the tax rates, the school fund, insane
wards, watchman, and health officer !;
also in regard to the method of ordering
and paying for supplies.
Ii was carried that the district attor-
ney of each county be requested to draft
an ordinance on the subject of licenses,
and submit the same to the next con-
vention of supervisors. The date of the
next meeting was not definitely fixed,
but it is likely to be some time in
October, and that the next convention
be held in Sonora.
On motion, Paul Morris was made
permanent chairman, and L. Burke
permanent secretary.

Reception to
Bridal Couple.

One of the prettiest receptions of the
season took place Tuesday evening"
September seventh, on the return of Mr.
and Mrs Melville B. Marshall from
their wedding trip to the south. The
brides parents, Mr. and Mrs Charles
Child, had caused it to be generally
understood that all friends of the happy
couple would be welcomed, and their
home on the Mokelumne river was
thrown open for the occasion. The
receiving party stood in a bower
from the arch of which wedding bell
depened. Early in the evening the
parlor filled with ladies, but there was
mysterious dearth of gentlemen. 1t
developed, however that the men had all
been out hunting their cows, and when
those cows came home there was
mighty noise on the Mokelumne river.
After quiet was restored and the out
side party comfortably settled inside, the
company was entertained with piano
music by Miss Mae Bamert and Miss
Parrot of Sacramento, and with violin
solo by Mr. Joseph Foster. Charades and
other games we're enjoyed until late
hour and then the wedding cake was
tremendously cut by the bride. This
cake was decorated with wedding bells,
but it was the BRIDES cake that called
forth the most discussion. 1t bore the
letters |. M, and there was much
differnce of opinion as to their meaning
The bride claimed them as her initials,
the bridegroom facetiously suggested
that they might stand for "In men,
oriam," but it was the general opinion
that they meant "I'm married. "
Melville B. Marshall and Miss Irma
Child were married in the Central M.
E. Church of Stockton, August twenty
fifth, nineteen hundred and nine, by the
Reverend John Stephens. They visited
San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los
Angeles, Long Beach and San Gabriel,
before returning to the ranch, where
they will spend a few days After
short stop in Sacramento they will take
up their residence in Blue Canyon,
where Mr. Marshall holds position as
an S. P. employee.
Those present at the wedding were Mr.
and Mrs Charles Child and Wendell
Child of Wallace; Miss Retta Parrot
of Sacramento; Mrs Matilda McIntire,
Miss Agnes McIntire and Mrs Aida
Barrett of Stockton.
The guests present at the reception
were Mr. and Mrs West Hunter Mr.
