Whilldin's wife egbin far fram any habitution, and gr some time no one could be found who was willing to take the risk in cupred in burying her body. Finally Mr. Gurthe volanteered to per. form that dangerous duty, and the result was that for four weeks he was obliged to live a recluse in the snow covered mountains in order to avoid the possibility of spreading the con; tagiou. Sunday morning, ten yours after the above event, he was called upon to take the testimony _ relative to the death of the husband.

The talk commeuced in reference to the passage of certain resolutions declaring all members of the various State and County Committees and the variotis Ward Clubs ineligible toaseat in the Constitutional Convention, and on a motion to. réconsider. One Rooney asked if the resolutions were not sustained there, whether Kearney intended to take’ them.to the sand lots and pass them over the head of the Committee. Kearney ruled Rooney out of order, and then Knight took the ,stand, saying that the resolutions were written by ¢ Carl.

When arrested, both Sund and Peterson were impecunious, having long since squandered their ill-gotten gains. > The Chinese Masonic Funeral Yesterday. The Chinese “Masonic” order o Nevada City planted one of their celestial-eyed brethren under the sod yesterday. Hy Lo, the deceased, wil] cadaverous looking chap, who has for a long time officiated about town as a street-sweeper. He was a “belly good Chinaman” who had succeeded in climbing away up on the greased pole which is a feature in the great secret order of which he was a shining light.’ But these advantages did not enable Hy Lo to stave off thie destroyer Consumption, which had long since\marked him fora victim. So he laid him déwn and passed off into the other world, where the moon never sets, and Kearney is not of ite people. When he had breathed his last, the “Masons” took the smoke hued remains, and put them into a stained pine coffin which was adorned with brassheaded nails and other equally fantastic things. Then they took out into the middle of China reet, and placing a stand covered ith eatables at the foot of the coffin
ommenced the funeral rites peculiar o.the order. Member after memr came forward, and holding a piece ot burning punk in their grimy bands, would prostrate themselves on the ground, at the same time uttering a wierd chant.
