' Ban Fraktoisco, March The Po
lice Judge this morning sentenced Den
nis Kearney to 0 month's Imprisonment
in the House of Correction and to pay a

- Cathcart Taylor.city editor of the Times
died to-day from the effects of a pistol
shot discharged in mental aberration by
own hand. Taylor has been in ill health
for two months, and his physical disor
der was supplemented and aggravated
by accumulation to business troubles,
which brought ou a mental disturbance
involving depression of spirits. This
ruorniDg he awoke and though very
weak, proposed to Rccompany his wife
to church. She persuaded him that he
ought to Bleep longer, and went down
stairs to prepare some beef tea in the
hope that it would strengthen him.
While she was gone he fired the fatal
shot. The remains will be interred in
Oakland cemetery.
Killed for a Chew of Tobacco.
Pittsburg, March 16. This after
noon two boys Thomas Coughlin and
Joseph Huff aged about fourteen years,
started out from Braddock'a on a thiev
ing expedition, as Is supposed. When
about two miles from Braddock 1 they
quarrelled, when Coughlin struck Huff
i with a railway, coupling pin, crushing
(n the skull and inflicting a fatal in-
fjury.
Huff was found lying on the side of
the railway by the attaches of the Penn
sylvania railroad passenger train, and
removed to the baggage car. Coughlin
was arrested by the train men about a
mile west of the place where the en
counter occurred, and he was brought

chew of tobacco.
Singular Accident.

ter into the furnace to cool it lo6t his
' lance, falling sixty-five feet before he
luck an obstruction, when he tumbled
jwn about 15 feet further, rolling out
(the bottom of the stack, having sua
jned vtry slight Injuries. Some of the
fcer employees noticed the accident
h became almost horrified. The wild
I excitement followed, and when Mr.
was picked up the impression was
Lt he had received fatal injuries.
j wever after he was taken to his home
i: wington.lt was found that no bones
t been broken his nose having been
;' red the most, and had swollen very
Sh. This la certainly the most ml
lous escape that has ever taken place
at the wkg. That the man fell 85 cet
through heated stack, and was ptoked
up without having sustained serious In
juries, l certainly a miracle. Jttriot

ones girls of three and six years respec

Perishing In the Snow.
San Francisco, March 13. A dis
patch from Victoria brings deplorable
news from the upper country. Cattle,
sheep, horses and pack-trains are dying
with great rapidity. All through NIco
let, Kemloops, Akanagan aud LUloget
the destruction of stock Is going on.
Nearly all the stock will perish before
eprlng. The loss Is roughly estimated
at $1,000,000. Scores of stock-raisers will
be reduced from affluence to poverty.
The snow lies from three to five feet in
depth aud gives no evidence of thaw
ing. Fight Between a Bull and a Stallion.
A few days since a horse and a bull in
the stable of Ed. Dysart, at Tipton, en
gaged in a desperate pitched battle,wbich
resulted fatally to the former. They
were tied in adjoining stalls and the
horse took advantage of his situation to
reach over and nip the bull. The old
fellow got mad because he could not bite
back, and broke loose. He then gored
the horse in the side so badly that he
died. Alfoona Tribnne.
A Question of Fact.
A Connecticut lawyer at Bridgeport,
the other day took exception to a judge's
ruling that some evidence was inadmis
sible. He said, " I know that it is prop
er evidence. Here I have been practis
ing at the bar forty years, and now I
want to know if I am a fool V" "IThat,
is a question of fact and not of law, and
so I won't pass upon it, but will let the
jury decide," quietly replied the court.
ISP The New Haven Journal and
Courier Publishing Company have lately
recovered a bill for subscription from No
vember, 1871, from W. T. Howd, which,
including cost of Buit, amounted to $13. 72.
In defense Hoard testified that he had re
peatedly said that he did not waut the
Journal and Courier, and be thought the
publishers ought to have stopped sending
it. The Court held, however, that tbe
State and United States law would author
ize tbe collection of the bill for a paper af
ter it had been ordered stopped, until the
bill for the newspaper for the entire time
it had been teceived was paid.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasuikcton, D. C, March 17, 1880.
So large are the receipts now from cus
toms that Congress will be likely to make
prodigal expenditures for purposes hereto
fore Becured hardly legitimate subjeota of
any expenditure at all. Up to tbe 16th of
this month thirteen millions bad been re
ceived, which is far in advance of any simi
lar period since 1873.
Tbe "conscience fund" at tbe Treasury
yesterday received larger accessions than
ever before in a single day, f 2500 was the
amount.
Tbe House is discussing tbe government
Printing office, and the paymout of speoial
Deputy Marshals, and the long-delayed
political debate may be had ou tbeso sub
jects. Tbe Democrats desire to legislate
the Government Printer out of office, and
give control of tbe printing to tbe Senate.
Tbey also desire to pass a bill for tbe pay
ment of Marshals, aud Deputy Maiubala,
without making provisions for tbe "spe
cial" or election Marshals, aud tbe Repub
licans will aetagonize both propositions.
In tbe Senate Committee of elections all
the Democrats favor the seating of Mr.
Stafford as Senator from Louisiana and all
tbe Republicans desire 'to continue Mr.
Kellogg In bis seat. This will give the
Benate a chance to talk politics to its hearts
content. Tbe Representatives of far West
ern States are now opposing the settlement
of the Ute question proposed by Scbure.
Tbey are determined that no Indian shall
have a legal settlement in Colorado in any
State where the whites are crowding.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury llaw
loy baa resigned, many reasons ate given
for tills resignation, the most probable of
which is that be Is a eaudidate fur the Re
publican nomination of Governor of Illi
nois, and deems it bis duty to himself and
friends, to give more time to tbe canvass,
than he could while connected with tbe
Treasury Department. The Treasury loses
one of Its most faithful and efficient officers.
It has beeu decided to appoint Hon. J. K.
Upton to the vacant place. This Is strictly
a civil servloe appointment. Mr. Upton
was appointed a first class clerk in 1803,
and has risen by succession steps to his
present exalted position. As Chief Clerk
ho was very popular, and his advancement
meets with favor both inside and out the
Department. Olive.
