I have often seen really Jong headed men, when they have to makeup their minds about some weighty business, set about it by considering two or three cases that are most likely to happen and* come to a decision on the assumption that one of these cases is ‘gute to come.

San Jose, March 18—When murderer Flannelly was brought into court for sentence this morning his counsel moved for a new trial on the ground of alleged misconduct of jurors. It is claimed that when Juror Wm. Buckley first reached the jury room he said : “Well, boys, you may fight over this verdict but my mind was made up long ago. I will stay here till hell freezes over, if necessary.” It is also alleged that Juror M. F. Edwards slépt for 15 minutes while one of thie principal witnesses for the defense was on the stand.

On last Tuesday afternoon two masked highwaymen stopped‘a teamster on the road-between Iowa Hill'and Colfax, in Placer county. The teamster is employed by the Urser-Major Supply Company at Iowa Hill. The robbers, who were armed with rifles and who wore masks made of red bandana handkerchiefs, secured $48 from the teamster, $40 of it being the teamster’s own money, representing « month’s wages. It is believed that the robbers intended tohold up the stage running between Iowa Hill and Colfax, and which brought down considerable treasure from the former place on Tuesday. The treasure was so valuable that a shotgun messenger was sent along to guard it, and the probabilities are that when the robbers saw him sitting on the box with his sawed-off shotgun, ready for business, they got cold feet and turned their attention to the unarmed teamster. Sheriff Conroy and some of his deputies are out scouting through. the moun hunting for the robbers. Millionaires in the Cabinet. There are six millionares in the President’s cabinet. Secretary Long bas a'private fortune of $1,400,000. Cornelius Bliss, Secretary of the Interior, is worth $1,250,000. John Sherman, Secretary of State and Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, are each rated at $1,600,000. Postmaster-General Gary has a fortune estimated at $2,000,000. R. A. Alger, Secretary of War, heads the list with a fortune of not less than $5,000,000. . THE NARROWS DAM. A Vertical Shaft Boing Sunk Above High Water Mark. The Smartsville correspondent of the Marysville Appeal says that the Government work on the dam site is being prosecuted with renewed vigor. A force of men are engaged and will in all probability uninterruptedly prow.ceed until the desired purpose is accomplished, which for the present is to ascertain the depth of the gravel in the Yuba river at the above location. A @ertical shaft is being sunk above. high water mark, and when the required depth is reached a tunnel will be driven toward and under the river bed until the gravel is tapped. This will give the engineers a true basis on which to form a fair estimate of the amount of material, labor and capital that is necessary for the construction . of the proposed restraining debris dam, RD FOES AE RS His Big Bills. The President of the United States must pay his servants at the White . House; when he gives a state dinner he must pay for the food, and also buy his own horses and carriages. He has no rent to pay, and the furniture of the White House, including the silver, linen and contents of the conservatories, are at his disposal. The heat and light and the butler and housekeeper are paid by the Federal Government. There is also an appropriation for stationery, telegrams, books, papers and other contingemt expenses, One strictly official turnout, ‘with a groom, is allowed, and the Navy Department places a yacht at the President’s disposal. This yacht is always kept. ready for his orders and service. Maprip, March 18.—A special from . ” Y SERS one night. support. VA you do. MAFRER & GO.

On last Tuesday afternoon two masked highwaymen stopped‘a teamster on the road-between Iowa Hill'and Colfax, in Placer county. The teamster is employed by the Urser-Major Supply Company at Iowa Hill. The robbers, who were armed with rifles and who wore masks made of red bandana handkerchiefs, secured $48 from the teamster, $40 of it being the teamster’s own money, representing « month’s wages. It is believed that the robbers intended tohold up the stage running between Iowa Hill and Colfax, and which brought down considerable treasure from the former place on Tuesday. The treasure was so valuable that a shotgun messenger was sent along to guard it, and the probabilities are that when the robbers saw him sitting on the box with his sawed-off shotgun, ready for business, they got cold feet and turned their attention to the unarmed teamster. Sheriff Conroy and some of his deputies are out scouting through. the moun hunting for the robbers. Millionaires in the Cabinet. There are six millionares in the President’s cabinet.

The Smartsville correspondent of the Marysville Appeal says that the Government work on the dam site is being prosecuted with renewed vigor. A force of men are engaged and will in all probability uninterruptedly prow.ceed until the desired purpose is accomplished, which for the present is to ascertain the depth of the gravel in the Yuba river at the above location. A @ertical shaft is being sunk above. high water mark, and when the required depth is reached a tunnel will be driven toward and under the river bed until the gravel is tapped. This will give the engineers a true basis on which to form a fair estimate of the amount of material, labor and capital that is necessary for the construction . of the proposed restraining debris dam, RD FOES AE RS His Big Bills.
