I As previously announced, the defense in the case of the People vs. Clara Bcte McDonald, charged with pistoling her father-in-law with intent to kilth'ai made no argument before the jury, lit was a shrewd, and as it proved, most effectual policy, for it spiked Colonel Flournoy'a thunderous guns, and I4'l no other, impression on the jury than what might be made by the light weigjht argument of Assistant District Attorney Kir, wno, auer reviewing the attempted to head off the insanity plea of the defense by designating it "a miseiaoie pretense," uhu entitled to no consideration what- svtr.

The jury was charged by jutige iuurpuy at zo cwet yesteruay atterncon and retired. The bell rang twice and each time it was announced that the jury was dry. They were sujp- lica witn piam orainary water on both occasions, and after an hour's delibera tion returned with a verdict of "not guilty by reason of insanitv." Nobody was surprised at the verdict, but the pale face of Clara Belle lighted np and she fairly quivered with delight at her escape. She thanked the jurors indvidu-ally as they filed past her and then skipped away with her attorneys to avoid the congratulations of the mob. When Seneca Swalm was informed of the result he expressed himself iovous beyond measure.

It ia not likely that the Commissioners of Insanity will trouble Mrs. McDonald as her insanity was oiuy temporary. LIGHT. Additional Electric a-lgnt Plant i of tb Gas Company.

Kirk popped npin his place ami vio-loted alt the precedents by wanting to know, lie explained I that this was the first he I had heard of the matter and that in fact he bad not heard very much, because it had been read so fast, and that any way he' did not like the proposition of adding $100 to the city's monthly expenses nntil he knew what the necessity for it was. It wasexplained by the rest of the Conncil in a glowing burst of confidence, that the additional clerical force was absolutely necessary to euable the City Clerk to cope with his duties, increased as they are by the liquor licenses and street work.

One of the last men who would pe picked oat as a natural target for the shafts of disease, disorder, and death was Walter Blair. Broad, bluff, and brawny, he strode about- the streets as if toying with the weight of years which bad tinged his bushy hair and whiskers with streaks of gray. Out in all weuther.he scorned tbe shelter of an and wind. To all outward appearances he was the type of the pioneer whose iron constitution had been braced instead of shattered by hardships, and having passed the line of hardest fighting, was preparing for a long lease of peaceful age. So it was that when, some two weeks ago, he complained that he did not feel in his usual cheerful spirits; little was thought of it by his family and when, on Sunday he concluded not1 to get up.

it was supposed to be rather a whim than a serious disability. Oaly yesterday, in reply to an inquiry, Mrs. Blair lightly said: "Oh! I guest he'll be all right in a few days. He just thinks he's sick." Such the apparent vigor ef the man. HOW THI STRONG MAD DIED.

This is why the town was shocked when, shortly before noon tbe news was passed from mouth to mouth, 'Walter Blair is dead." At first it ifas hardly believed. Then the rumor had it that he had dropped dead upon the street from heart disease or apoplexy, and people stopped to wonder when leath would withhold his sickle from fiarnering the richest grain from Oak-and's fields. Inquiry at the Centennial Honsejcon-firmed the report of the sudden death. It seems that vssterday Mr. Blair's malady assumed" more serious symptoms.

Mrs. Dr. Wilson, who was iu attendance upon him. said that there was evidence of diabetes, and Mrs. Blair noted tbe indications accora- Ea living stomachic disorder, to which he ad been somewhat subject.

Last night he weakened perceptibly, and this morning his family was gathered about him, fearful as to his condition. At about 11 o'clock he asked William Blair, a brother, to give him a drip, and he drained a cup of water. Then the brother left the room, impressed with the belief that the sick man was upon his death bed. Some ten minutes thereafter Mr. Blair, addressing his W'fe, asked to be raised in bed.

He was propped up by the pillows, but with a sudden spasm fell from the bed and instantly expired upon the floor, his wife supporting him. Of course the family was prostrated, and in a few minutes friends baean to flock in to oner their oon- colcni es and assist in the sad arrange ment of death. i A LIKE Ot'i ENl'EAVOR. I Mr. was born at Ryegate.

Ver mont. in the year 18.10. In 1852 he sought the new land of California, and reached San Francisco after a trip round the Horn'' late in the year, After a few months apent cast- in? about far a favorable op portunity for investment i saw. lanciea, ana rurcnaseu a large tract of land in the foothills where i'ledmont now obtains a name. Here he established himself in 1353 or 1854, as a general farmer, raising cattle and produce for the growing market at rrancisco.

as population) in the straggling 1 town of Oakland increased he began the establishment of a dairy, which has ever been one of the principal sources of the city's milk supply. In the hard, rough life of early times was ever ready to meet and overcome the obstacles in the way toward that prosperity which he had determined to win, and which he foresaw would come to reward patience, frugality, and business energy. In lS't at he married Miss na-be Har vey, and to the union were born two daughters, now grown to young laily-biiod. He invested the profit of his farming in enterprises tending to ald convenience and comfort to life in Oak land and its suburbs, and with th natural appreciation of his realty and by strict attention to. business became one of the city's foremost men in every thing wmcn tenaea toward its pros perity.

In conclusion, he read the following tribute, written by a near frieud of the family He was a yonng man of talent, en ercv. and industry, possessing a noble character, anl was a devoted and atlec- ttonate son, a kind and attentive brother. He was considerate of the situation in life of those with whom his daily life brought him in contact, and for the poor ana struggling ne Dad al ways a sympathetic ward, and the words of encouragement which he gave were such as to lighten the burthen of life and encourage distress.

He accompanied his mother to this home doring the Christmas holidays, and while here becoming a sufferer, he insisted upon returning to where he believed he would be benefited and freed from pain.

He withstood all bodily pain with fortitude, and it was only when his mind was racked from suffering he yielded to the inevitable. His death occurred at his own mountain home at Cedar (Hen, El Dorado county; a home of his own selection made happy to him from its association with the devotion of his mother. He will be recollected and remembered by bis friends for his generosity and unselfishness, freedom from harsh aad unkind criticisms toward his fellow men and bis memory to his mother and his family will be ever perpetuated by the recollection of hit love and kindness as a son and brother.
