Particulars of His Last Iliness and Death —His Life's Career. \ — The San Jose Mercury of Tuesday has the following coucerning the death of Hon David Belden, an old-time Nevada countyan: Itis indeed a sad task for the Mercury to announce this morning the death of the Hon. Judge David Belden» which occurred at 11:45 last night. The illness which léd to this fatal termination of his life began exactly six months ago within less than a day. Ever since that date his condition has varied from a point when death was expected almost at any moment to periods in which he was able to go out riding, but at no time in all that_pe-. riod has be been able to resume the duties of his judicial position. On the morning of November 15th, while he was giving his charge to the jury in the case of Charles Vaughn, charged with assault to murder, he suddenly ceased talking, and after a few minutes’ silence.excused himself and laid down on the bench, evidently very ill. In the course of a quarter of an hour he rallied, completed his charge and was then taken to his home on Eleventh street in a carriage. In the afternoon he was feeling somewhat better and, accompanied by Mrs. Belden, left for San Francisco hoping to benefit by change of scene and climate. At intervals during the past three years the Judge euffered occasionally Mrs. Sarah Loney, the mother of seven children of whom the youngest is aged three months, and the wife of Thomas Loney of Rough and Ready township, was yesterday examined by Doctors Jones and Muller who pronounced her insane. Judge Walling made an order committing her to the Stockton Asylum. Her husband wil] pay $15 a month for her maintenance in the Asylum. She is a native of Nova Scotia, aged 38 years, and has for sixteen years been a resident of California. About seven years ago she was mentally unbalanced for a period of ten or twelve days, and then recovered. Ten days ago she was again attacked, and has ever since been in a bad way. The physicians say that her delusions are ‘nothing in particular, but everything in general,” that she is violent, wholly without reason, destructive, ete., and that her insanity is from puerperal causes. Home Again. Messrs. Walrath, Rolfe, Pitts and O’Keefe, who have been spending a few days at Bowman’s Dam, camé down Tuesday, Mr. O’Keefe stopping at North Bloomfield and the others reaching this city in the evening. They were very successful as fishermen, catching a large quantity of fine trout. As proof of their prowess they brought back a number and the Transcrirt scribe got his share. They captured enough for all their friends, but had no way of sending them,down. It is most too cold at the Dam for genuine comfort, and it has been quite stormy there for a few days past. The unfavorable condition of the weather sent the bold fishermen home quicker than they would have otherwise come. _ Refuses to be Interviewed. Constable _Reed brought to the county jail yesterday Wm. A. Keys who a. few days ago shot and killed John Payton at Boca. Keys is held without bonds to be tried on a charge of murder.’ He is a native of Ohio aged 42 years, and when asked why he. shot Payton replied, ‘I don’t know, Thad nothing against him. I guess it was my damned meanness that made me doit,’’? Both he and his victim were comparatively sober when it happened. Keysis a hard-looking citizen. When asked yesterday if he wanted to make a statement of any sort through the press, he gruffly responded that he had nothing to say. The Best Flour. As its superior merits become better known the demand for Sperry flour constantly increases. Those who sell it say that most housekeepers after once using it will have no other kind.

During them, however, he suffered greatly. The pain would start in the lower region of the stomach and would rise to the chest, and then spread to the arteries_ of the elbow and then to the back below the shoulder-blades. Although ‘these attacks, which lasted from twenty to thirty minutes, were painful, they were not considered dangerous. On Sunday, November 6th, he had a severe attack,’ lasting longer than usual. Monday night, November 14th, he had no fewer than five attacks, all more violent, painful and prolonged than usual, lasting generally an hour. The next morning, having had little sleep during the night and feeling weak and ill, he took the bench in Department 1 as usual, and had been charging the jury about five minutes, when he was stricken down. While in San Francisco he was placed under the treatment of eminent physicians, and although at one time death was expected there, he re‘covered sufficiently to return to San Jose, accompanied by the same attendants. Since that date he has remained in San Jose, and has been almost continually under the shadow of death, owing to the peculiar nature of the complication of diseases with which he was afflicted : : Dr. Thorne has in the main been his attending physician, otbers being present occasionally for consultation or otherwise. About two months ago Dr. Thorne’s visits ceased and Dr. J. B. Backesto was called in to, if possible, do something to relieve the Judge’s pain as, other than that, it was thought medicine could do little for him. Dr. Backestoe’s services were those of a friend, as he has retired from active medical practice and he has been in attendance constantly untii yesterday, when Dr. Losson took charge owing to Dr. Backestoe’s intended departure from the city. . Last Tuesday night pleuro-pneumonia developed and Judge Belden had a severe attack, since which time he was confined to his bed. It was only with difficulty that he could breath and constant fanning was necessary to enable him todo so. This had been his condition throughout the latter part of last week and up to the moment of his death. “ He complained of pains in his side over the region of could not be taken in a recumbent position, and when food was given him he would sit up in bed with his feet over the side and, protected by bedclothes, would lean against the nurse’s knee while the latter was standing. by the side of his couch. In this position he would swallow the food gived him by the attendants. The Judge could rise and walk toa chair of his own accord, but was generally aided by Mrs. Belden, who was in constant attendance by his sice, or by others present in the room. Mrs. Belden had her bed; placed in the game room in which was the Judge’s so that he could not make a movement or utter a sigh hardly but she His nights were generally passed restlessly, although he always managed to secure more or less sleep either then or during the daytime. __Indge Belden remained in bed the and in the evening he was assisted to achair which was near by. ‘He sat in the chair less than an hour, being constantly fanned, but still in great pain. At one time he remarked: ‘I can’t stand this much longer,” and was then asked to lean over toward the right so. as to relieve his heart from any undue action. About twenty min«utes past 11 o’clock the Judge said : ee believe I will-go to bed.” Immediately on resuming his couch his eyes closed to open no more. His breathing was comparatively regular and there was no evidence of much suffering.Twenty-five minutes jater, at 11:45 o'clock, he passed away quietly, with hardly a sign of dissolution. A re action of the bowels a few seconds before served as a premonition of the end, however, and about five the heart aud could only sleep by. lying on his right side. Nourishment} greater portion of Monday afternoon, . minutes later be became unconscious. Death was perfectly painless, not a twitch of a muscle giving evidence of it. At the time there were in the room Mrs. Belden, lying on her couch, Mrs. Hoagland, her sister, sitting in a large easy-chair, and Mr. Cosgto, standing by the bedside fanning the unconscious man. Mrs. Belden had retired when her husband went to bed. Besides these were in the house at the time Miss Carrie Belden, a niece, and Mrs. Cashin of San Francisco, a relative of Mrs. Belden. In-death Judge Belden looks exceedingly life like, his features wearing an expression of peace and composure, mixed with the judicial sternness which had been peculiar to him through life. AN HONORABLE CAREER. In the death of Judge Belden a great loss has been sustained, not only by this community but by the State, in every part of which his name is known and honored as a learned man, a just Judge and a good citizen. Too high a tribute to his worth could not be paid. His years of faithful service to this county, his acts’ of kindness, his just conduct at all times and under all circumstances, are things that maké his memory dear to all. In every walk of life he was upright and honest. He was ever on the alert for an opportunity to do good to his fellow-men. With him the humblest citizen could con verse with freedom and was given as much consideration as the rich and influential. In public matters he took an active interest and always endeavored to advance the welfare of the e— ble and enjeyable affairs of people were present in full house. tickets. to get there all the same. dyspeptic. presence, regardless of whose views he might oppose. —3 He was ever ready to lend his counsel in the conduct of the affairs of of the people and by listening to his views and profiting by his wisdom many difficulties were avoided and many advantages gained. . Judge Belden was born in Newtown, Fairfield county, Connecticut, on August 14, 1832, and in all walks of life he always enjoyed the distinctign of being prominentamong his associates. He came to this State in 1853 and at once entered upon the practice of the law at Nevada City, Nevada county, where he soon rose into prominence and gained a most gratifying reputation as aman learned in the law, with the ability to cope with anyone in the interests of his clients. Such was the esteem in which he was. held by the people of Nevada county that in the fall of 1859 he was elected County Judge by a large majority and served a term of four years. .Asa Judge he was even more popular than as a lawyer. His knowledge of the law and the principles of equity and his capability of applying it atall times, endeared him tothe people of all classes, and when he stepped from the bench to resume his practice it was with a popularity that was well deserved. He occupied noother public office until the year 1865 when he was chosen by the people of Nevada county to represent them in the Senate, which he did with honor to himself and advantage to his constituents for the two succeeding ses‘sions. ‘ : _. Judge Belden went to San Jose: in the fall of 1869, and at once began the ptatice of his profession in the County Court. He soon rose into prominence, by reason of his talent, legal ability astrength of character, and :hewas soon honored by the gift of a high judicial position. The Twentieth Judicial District was created in 1871, and Judge Belden was chosen to preside ‘in the new court, which comprised the counties of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey,.and subsequently the county of San Benito wasadded. While acting in this capacity Judge Belden heard and determined some of the most important cases in the history of California, and no one could justly criticise-his actions‘ on the bench, which were always just and equitable and sustained by public opinion. The first election by the people for Judge of the new district took place in 1873, and the fact that’ Judge Belden waselected without opposition may give a faint idea of the respect in which he was held by the people and the confidence they had in his ‘integrity. He continued in this position until the adoption of the new, Constitution, under which ahew judicial system was created. Hé. wis then elected one of the Superior. Judges of Santa Clara on the Republican: ticket and at the last election hewas again placed in the office by an oyerwh elming majority and continudd to serve faithfully and well until the day” he wae stricken down.

To secure the flap of an envelope so that it may not be readily opened without betraying the fact that it has been tampered with, has been the ambition ofa good many inventors.

Particulars of His Last Iliness and Death —His Life's Career. \ — The San Jose Mercury of Tuesday has the following coucerning the death of Hon David Belden, an old-time Nevada countyan: Itis indeed a sad task for the Mercury to announce this morning the death of the Hon. Judge David Belden» which occurred at 11:45 last night. The illness which léd to this fatal termination of his life began exactly six months ago within less than a day. Ever since that date his condition has varied from a point when death was expected almost at any moment to periods in which he was able to go out riding, but at no time in all that_pe-. riod has be been able to resume the duties of his judicial position. On the morning of November 15th, while he was giving his charge to the jury in the case of Charles Vaughn, charged with assault to murder, he suddenly ceased talking, and after a few minutes’ silence.excused himself and laid down on the bench, evidently very ill. In the course of a quarter of an hour he rallied, completed his charge and was then taken to his home on Eleventh street in a carriage. In the afternoon he was feeling somewhat better and, accompanied by Mrs. Belden, left for San Francisco hoping to benefit by change of scene and climate. At intervals during the past three years the Judge euffered occasionally Mrs. Sarah Loney, the mother of seven children of whom the youngest is aged three months, and the wife of Thomas Loney of Rough and Ready township, was yesterday examined by Doctors Jones and Muller who pronounced her insane. Judge Walling made an order committing her to the Stockton Asylum. Her husband wil] pay $15 a month for her maintenance in the Asylum. She is a native of Nova Scotia, aged 38 years, and has for sixteen years been a resident of California. About seven years ago she was mentally unbalanced for a period of ten or twelve days, and then recovered. Ten days ago she was again attacked, and has ever since been in a bad way. The physicians say that her delusions are ‘nothing in particular, but everything in general,” that she is violent, wholly without reason, destructive, ete., and that her insanity is from puerperal causes. Home Again. Messrs. Walrath, Rolfe, Pitts and O’Keefe, who have been spending a few days at Bowman’s Dam, camé down Tuesday, Mr. O’Keefe stopping at North Bloomfield and the others reaching this city in the evening. They were very successful as fishermen, catching a large quantity of fine trout. As proof of their prowess they brought back a number and the Transcrirt scribe got his share. They captured enough for all their friends, but had no way of sending them,down. It is most too cold at the Dam for genuine comfort, and it has been quite stormy there for a few days past. The unfavorable condition of the weather sent the bold fishermen home quicker than they would have otherwise come. _ Refuses to be Interviewed. Constable _Reed brought to the county jail yesterday Wm. A. Keys who a. few days ago shot and killed John Payton at Boca. Keys is held without bonds to be tried on a charge of murder.’ He is a native of Ohio aged 42 years, and when asked why he. shot Payton replied, ‘I don’t know, Thad nothing against him. I guess it was my damned meanness that made me doit,’’? Both he and his victim were comparatively sober when it happened. Keysis a hard-looking citizen. When asked yesterday if he wanted to make a statement of any sort through the press, he gruffly responded that he had nothing to say. The Best Flour.

During them, however, he suffered greatly. The pain would start in the lower region of the stomach and would rise to the chest, and then spread to the arteries_ of the elbow and then to the back below the shoulder-blades. Although ‘these attacks, which lasted from twenty to thirty minutes, were painful, they were not considered dangerous. On Sunday, November 6th, he had a severe attack,’ lasting longer than usual. Monday night, November 14th, he had no fewer than five attacks, all more violent, painful and prolonged than usual, lasting generally an hour. The next morning, having had little sleep during the night and feeling weak and ill, he took the bench in Department 1 as usual, and had been charging the jury about five minutes, when he was stricken down. While in San Francisco he was placed under the treatment of eminent physicians, and although at one time death was expected there, he re‘covered sufficiently to return to San Jose, accompanied by the same attendants. Since that date he has remained in San Jose, and has been almost continually under the shadow of death, owing to the peculiar nature of the complication of diseases with which he was afflicted : : Dr. Thorne has in the main been his attending physician, otbers being present occasionally for consultation or otherwise. About two months ago Dr. Thorne’s visits ceased and Dr. J. B. Backesto was called in to, if possible, do something to relieve the Judge’s pain as, other than that, it was thought medicine could do little for him. Dr. Backestoe’s services were those of a friend, as he has retired from active medical practice and he has been in attendance constantly untii yesterday, when Dr. Losson took charge owing to Dr. Backestoe’s intended departure from the city. . Last Tuesday night pleuro-pneumonia developed and Judge Belden had a severe attack, since which time he was confined to his bed. It was only with difficulty that he could breath and constant fanning was necessary to enable him todo so. This had been his condition throughout the latter part of last week and up to the moment of his death. “ He complained of pains in his side over the region of could not be taken in a recumbent position, and when food was given him he would sit up in bed with his feet over the side and, protected by bedclothes, would lean against the nurse’s knee while the latter was standing. by the side of his couch. In this position he would swallow the food gived him by the attendants. The Judge could rise and walk toa chair of his own accord, but was generally aided by Mrs. Belden, who was in constant attendance by his sice, or by others present in the room. Mrs. Belden had her bed; placed in the game room in which was the Judge’s so that he could not make a movement or utter a sigh hardly but she His nights were generally passed restlessly, although he always managed to secure more or less sleep either then or during the daytime. __Indge Belden remained in bed the and in the evening he was assisted to achair which was near by. ‘He sat in the chair less than an hour, being constantly fanned, but still in great pain. At one time he remarked: ‘I can’t stand this much longer,” and was then asked to lean over toward the right so. as to relieve his heart from any undue action. About twenty min«utes past 11 o’clock the Judge said : ee believe I will-go to bed.” Immediately on resuming his couch his eyes closed to open no more. His breathing was comparatively regular and there was no evidence of much suffering.Twenty-five minutes jater, at 11:45 o'clock, he passed away quietly, with hardly a sign of dissolution. A re action of the bowels a few seconds before served as a premonition of the end, however, and about five the heart aud could only sleep by. lying on his right side. Nourishment} greater portion of Monday afternoon, . minutes later be became unconscious. Death was perfectly painless, not a twitch of a muscle giving evidence of it. At the time there were in the room Mrs. Belden, lying on her couch, Mrs. Hoagland, her sister, sitting in a large easy-chair, and Mr. Cosgto, standing by the bedside fanning the unconscious man. Mrs. Belden had retired when her husband went to bed. Besides these were in the house at the time Miss Carrie Belden, a niece, and Mrs. Cashin of San Francisco, a relative of Mrs. Belden. In-death Judge Belden looks exceedingly life like, his features wearing an expression of peace and composure, mixed with the judicial sternness which had been peculiar to him through life. AN HONORABLE CAREER. In the death of Judge Belden a great loss has been sustained, not only by this community but by the State, in every part of which his name is known and honored as a learned man, a just Judge and a good citizen. Too high a tribute to his worth could not be paid. His years of faithful service to this county, his acts’ of kindness, his just conduct at all times and under all circumstances, are things that maké his memory dear to all. In every walk of life he was upright and honest. He was ever on the alert for an opportunity to do good to his fellow-men. With him the humblest citizen could con verse with freedom and was given as much consideration as the rich and influential. In public matters he took an active interest and always endeavored to advance the welfare of the e— ble and enjeyable affairs of people were present in full house. tickets. to get there all the same. dyspeptic. presence, regardless of whose views he might oppose. —3 He was ever ready to lend his counsel in the conduct of the affairs of of the people and by listening to his views and profiting by his wisdom many difficulties were avoided and many advantages gained. . Judge Belden was born in Newtown, Fairfield county, Connecticut, on August 14, 1832, and in all walks of life he always enjoyed the distinctign of being prominentamong his associates. He came to this State in 1853 and at once entered upon the practice of the law at Nevada City, Nevada county, where he soon rose into prominence and gained a most gratifying reputation as aman learned in the law, with the ability to cope with anyone in the interests of his clients. Such was the esteem in which he was. held by the people of Nevada county that in the fall of 1859 he was elected County Judge by a large majority and served a term of four years. .Asa Judge he was even more popular than as a lawyer. His knowledge of the law and the principles of equity and his capability of applying it atall times, endeared him tothe people of all classes, and when he stepped from the bench to resume his practice it was with a popularity that was well deserved. He occupied noother public office until the year 1865 when he was chosen by the people of Nevada county to represent them in the Senate, which he did with honor to himself and advantage to his constituents for the two succeeding ses‘sions. ‘ : _. Judge Belden went to San Jose: in the fall of 1869, and at once began the ptatice of his profession in the County Court. He soon rose into prominence, by reason of his talent, legal ability astrength of character, and :hewas soon honored by the gift of a high judicial position. The Twentieth Judicial District was created in 1871, and Judge Belden was chosen to preside ‘in the new court, which comprised the counties of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey,.and subsequently the county of San Benito wasadded. While acting in this capacity Judge Belden heard and determined some of the most important cases in the history of California, and no one could justly criticise-his actions‘ on the bench, which were always just and equitable and sustained by public opinion. The first election by the people for Judge of the new district took place in 1873, and the fact that’ Judge Belden waselected without opposition may give a faint idea of the respect in which he was held by the people and the confidence they had in his ‘integrity. He continued in this position until the adoption of the new, Constitution, under which ahew judicial system was created. Hé. wis then elected one of the Superior. Judges of Santa Clara on the Republican: ticket and at the last election hewas again placed in the office by an oyerwh elming majority and continudd to serve faithfully and well until the day” he wae stricken down.

An envelope constructed as? follows-is the-subject of a recent English patent: The flap is so cut and shaped as to bring the point of it to the top right hand corner of the front side of the envelope, where the gummed surface of the flap secures it to the front of the envelope. The postage stamp is then fixed over the flap so that the envelope cannot possibly be unfastened without destroying the stamp.

W. J. O'Connor picked and brought to this office today, the largest strawberry that perhaps has ever grown. It measures 8'4 inches diameter, and weighed one ounce and an eighth. It was as large asa goed-size r was a monster.—Chico Enterprise. That item reminds the TRANscRiIPT of one of the same character appearing in this paper a few years ago. Felix Gillet presented the editor with some strawberries ranging from five to seven inches in circumference,and a notice to that effect was written out. The intelligent compositor in setting it'up substituted the word diameter for circumference. Eastern papers caught on and they have ever since been talking about the wonderful strawberries, big as a cocoanuts, which Nevada county produces. aa In the spring, hundreds.of. persons suffer from boils, carbuncles, and other eruptive diseases.
