At this precise moment the woman opened the door, perceived the robber avd gave with one of the pistols in question; fired upon berj and she fell; fatally wounded, The firearm recently disfound opposite her. No one had seen the thief enter or goout, though smith who had sold the pistols fully identified them, and said that the purchaser had asked him to load ‘them, caréfully on baying them, and it was only after the greatest difficulty that the unfortanate victim of citcumstantial evidence was énabled, if not exactly to prove his innocence, at least to cause sufficient doubt in the minds.of the jury to justify a call ‘‘not proven.’” Curcaco statisticians estimate that there are $50,000,000 of mortgages in that city falling due and pressiog for payment in the course of the year 1 ofa mortgage is about three years, held down by about. $150,000,000 of mortgages; and at an average inuterest of 9 per cent, it will take jast $13,500,000 to pay the interest as‘it became , esa abid i Tax Statistician gives the total length of railroads i fornia as '1,85834 miles, “of whigagMthe broad Sourn Grap.—Mr, BR ifield Ponape apt tha Lact cag ace nal ng from Atlanta, Georgia, last} 8 Pi . “Pat Dougherty, Grass Valley : 2 Read en Francisco .
