Holllster, Aug, 25. A despetatu
bhoolim: affray touk place here to-day,
resulting in the Immediate death uf one
of the chief actors and tho probable fa.
tai ivounuing oi tne oilier, llio scene
of the tragedy was Goodhue's saloon.
At 10 o'clock this morning a man nam
ed Leander T. Robinson, more com
monly culled "Tod" Robinson, entered
tho saloon and invited all hands to take
a drink. Among those In the room was
a man known as Tony Harris, between
whom and Robinson somo ill-feeling
was existing, lto'jin-oii no sooner had
finished Ids Invitation than Harris re
marked that ho. "wouldn't drink with a
," using a yeiy obscene epithet.
Robinson replied, "Well, I always pay
for my drinks." Harris then rose from
his chair, saying, "Well, this Is an
old grudgo betweeu you and me, aud we
might as well settle It right now,"
drawing a Derringer as ho spoko a
(Wo shooter and both men fired almost
simultaneously. Harris's shot struck
Robinson In llio neck, cutting the Jug
lar vein, and the blood gushed forth In
ft torrent. Roblnion's first shot missed
Harris. Tho latter Immediately after
tiring, throw his weapon at Robinson,
and, having nothing else to defend him
self with, ran Into tho billiard room
back of tho saloon, hoping there to es
cape from his antagonist. Although
mortally wounded, however, and witli
his life blood gushing from the terrible
hole In his neck, Robinson staggered
after his assailant, whom ho had now
cornered In the billiard room. Steady
ing himself against one of tho tables, he
took deliberate aim and fired at Harris,
who was facing him at tho opposite
side of the tabl", tho ball taking effect
near the naval aud inflicting a wound
which is likely to prove fatal. Again
the dying man raised his pistol and fir
ed, tlm ball striking Harris in the hand
and tearing off the thumb.
Some of the men from tho saloon had
by this tlmo entered the billiard room,
supposing the shooting to bo finished.
Hut Robinson's vengeance was not yet
satisfied, and though tho glaze of death
was already In his eye;, he again fired
ids pistol, aud then dropped dead. The
last shot struck tho night watchman's
trousers pocket, but owing to the lucky
circumstance of his having a bunch of
keys and a polico whistle just in the
right spot, 'be course of the deadly
missile was stopped, the only damage
being the breaking of the whistle.
Cot oner Ulack held an Inquest soon
alter the killing. Tho jury found a
verdict In accordance with tho facts
above set forth, and Robinson was
bulled this afternoon, which many peo
ple around here consider rather quick
work, even for a California town. The
deceased was w hut is generally known
as a spotting man, and is said to have a
wife living in Merced. His ago is about
thirty eight years.
Harris, whosu real name Is said to be
Galvln, Is a blacksmlth,a'.id has no rela
tives in California. The formality of
placing him under anest has been gone
through with, but from present appear
ances he will not trouble the courts
much.
The ups and downs of life and of rep
utation have their finest illustrations In
the history of some of the world s best
men who have been almost hounded to
death during their lifetime, but whoso
memory Is held m grateful remembrance
by generations who subsequently arise
to do them a tardy Justice. John Bun
yan'.s monument has just been set up in
the plat o where tho dreaming tinker
was the most greatly despised. Good
year's rubber fabrics are worn by tho
children of tho men who denounced the
luventor as an impecunious crack-brain ;
and chemists meet to celebrate the fact
that one hundred years ago Joseph
Priestley discovered oxygen gas, and
uit.de such other progress In chemical
Investigation as branded him among
men for an enthusiast audaman danger
ous to society In theology ho was Just
heterodox enough to fall under tho ban,
and to lose the promotion which his
talents nould otherwise have secured
him in chemistry lie was so heterodox!
c illy progressive thit the selentltlo men
of the day howled at liim for being an
innovator, and the public sneered at
him for an enthusiast. Worso than
tills, tho public went so far as to mob
htm and sack his house. Having as lit
tle taste for that sort of thing as Pro
fessor Swing has for theological aud
disciplinary controversary, lie retired,
seeking a quiet home; and If over a
place was found where quiet and beauty
were combined, It was llio spot at the
forks of the Susquehanna River In Pa.
where Joseph Priestley settled. There
ho pursued his chemical (investigations,
and tlii-M he lived till 1804. Tho buay
town of Northumberland now occupies
what was Pilestley's farm. The clatter
of nail-works and other Industries
makes tho place anything but quiet.
The shrill whistle and the ponderous
thumping of the locomotive are heard
right before the door of tlio house which
Priestley built, and which still stands, a
little out of the stjle, ,but as sel'd as
ever. The retorts aud other apparatus
which ho used, aio still shown; almost
as rough, compared with the apparatus
of to-day, as Gallileu's telescopes com
pared witli the mighty instruments at
the Washington Ouservatory. Aiid tl.o
memory of Priestley will live, like tho
oxygen he dUcuveied.

A Rciimrltablo Family.
Tho Hon. and Rev. Walter Shirley
was born In tho year 1725, no was
brother to Earl Ferrars, and first cousin
to Sellna, Countress of Huntingdon.
He was a frequent visitor too at Lady
Huntingdon's London residence, and
there became ncqnalnted with tho Pri
mitive Methodist preachers. lie was
converted under the ministry of Mr.,
Venn; becamo intimate with White
field, nud began to preach In tho Church
of England, fitter preaching with
great success In England, ho received
the living of Loughrea, Ireland, whero
he coutlnurd to excrclso his ministry
for many years.
In tho year 1700, ho was called to
endure severo afUictlous, which had
tho effect of making him deeply hum
ble. While ho himself had been re
ceiving the truth of tho Gospel, and
growing in Christian graces and useful
ness, his brother, Earl Ferrars, had
been lending a worldly and licentious
life, which ofter years of secret dishonor,
ended in publlo shame. In tho year
monttoned he becamo greatly incensed'
with a Mr. Johnson, his steward, who
had been a servant lu the family for
thirty years, and wno had shown a fa
vorable deposition towatds Lady Fer
rais In her case against tho nobleman's
favorite mistress. Tlio Earl 11 idlug ono
day that his old servant, as- trusteo,
had paid a certain sum of money to.
Lady Ferrars, deliberately shot him,
and made no concealment of the deed;
The murder sent a shudder of horror
through the best London society, The
Earl was arrested, and confined In the
State Prison of the Tower of London.
Ho was brought to trial at Westraen
ttcr, on which occasion, according to
Charles Wesley, "Most of tlo Royal
family, the chief gentry and foreign
ministers were prer-cnt." After threo
days' sitting tho court sentenced tho
Earl to be hanged at Tyburn, and "his
body to bo delivered at Surgeon's Hall
to be dls-ected and anatomized."
The distress of Walter Shirley,. Lady
Huntingdon, and other pious relatives
of the doomed Earl, was cxtrerao. Tho
whole English Church, and especially
that portion of It known as tho Metho
dists, deeply sympathized with Walter
Shirley. Tho conduct of the high-born,
convict now surrounded the circumstan
ces of his guilt with darker and mure-heart-rendering
associations. Ho Re
solved to dlo as hardened as ho had
lived. Walter Shirley aud Lady I$u,n.
tlninlon did overythlng In Iholr pofver
to bring tho doomed nobleman to a seqso
of his situation before God, and to tho
excrclso of repeutenco and religious
truth, but without success. John and
Charles Wesley wero deeply anxious
for the Earl's spiritual welfare, and
tho Methodists of London had a day of
prayer for his conversion. But all
proved of no avail. Tito Earlspent'tho
night before his execution In playing
piquet with the warders of the prison.
Just before leaving his apartments
on tlio fatal day, ho wrote tho following
lines, which he left on tho tablo:
"In doubt I lived, In doubt I dlo,
Yet stand prepared tlio worstauyss to try,
Anil undismayed accept eternity."
He went to Tyburn amid tho tears of
his friends and deriilon of lmmonso
crowds of peoplo. He dressed lilmseil
for execution In his wedding dottves,
and received a note in ills carriago fronii
the guilty woman who had caused much
of tho present misfortune and misery.
Sir Walter returned to his little flock,
lu Loughrea, a broken-splritcd man..
Three weeks after tlio execution ho
wrote to Mr. John Wesley as follows:.
"I havo reason to bless God for tho
humbling lessons ho has taught mo
through these awful visitations.;' It ii,
highly probabU that thl3 family mis
fortune was tha source of tho inspir
ation of his well-kno'an, hymn :
"Penco.trnuiJlca soul wlioso plaintive moarv
bus tiumlit these rcks 'bo "otu r wou
Censo thy complaint, suppress they groau,
Ami lot thy tears lorbetir to now,
Uoliolil tlio proclous lttlui Is toond
Which lulls tliy pain, which Uoals Uijs
wound."
A young man who ' recently gradu-
ated from a theological seminary was,
lately transformed by the types Into a
"llusfo-1 preacher.'" "Lic?used" was
what they ought to havo called liim,
Hut this was not so haid as the case at
a young llcentiato, whom a well-meaning
old lady who liad not "Webster's
Uuderbrldged" at her fingers' ends,
spoko of as a "licentious."
