Kearney Betnrned to nis Cell— The County Jail— Hotel to be Closed. Sax Fjianiisco, May 14th.— Denis Kear ney was brought down from Sacramento yes terday afternoon and returned to the care of Superintendent Provost, who conveyed him to the House of Correction, where he will re main to complete his sentence if the Supreme Court does not reverse judgment and restore him to liberty. There are 274 prisoners charged with the commission of crime now confined in the County Jail, 206 of whom are awaiting trial for felony and 08 are serving terms for mis demeanors. Seventeen awaiting trials are charged with murder, 20 assaults to murder, 5 assaults with deadly weapons, 86 burglary, 26 robbery, 4 perjury, and 21 with other fel onies. Two hundred and six of the prisoners I are white men, 14 white women, and 54 are I . Chinese. p. - -. The guests of the Grand Hotel were noti fied last evening that the house would be closed on the Ist of June. The cause ot this action on the part of the proprietors is that G. S. Johnson, the senior partner, died some few months ago, W. P. Ridge way is, and has been for several months, in poor health, and George U. Lawlor is desirous of retiring from business. ■ - San Francisco Democrat!.. San Francisco, May 14th.— The Demo crats are doing a lively business to-night in electing delegates to the Convention.

The Situation in Tulare County— lnquest Postponed— Meeting of Citizens— speech or Ja . Prominent Leaguer— Resolutions Adopted. Hankord, May 14th.'— No evidence was taken to-day before the . Coroner's jury, it having been though best to adjourn the in quest till the 20th instant, until the excite ment subsides. A further reason was that evidence not here was wanted, and it could not be secured for some days. At a citizens' and Leaguers' meeting this forenoon several speeches were made and reso lutions adopted. The j principal speaker was Major T. .1. McQuiddy, an influential officer of the Settlers' League, whose speech was as follows: .... Fellow -citizens : While I feel a very deep interest in this matter, I wish to make a brief rehearsal of the facts, and then appeal to you as good law-abiding citizens. : Let me say to you that the organization known as the Settler's League, as an organization, has endeavored to keep the peace and live under the law of this land. Many things have been done upon the part of. those not in sympathy with us to arouse you to action, to prompt you to do that which was not 7 in keeping with good citizenship. Some of you are neighbors who have not seen proper to join in this legal fijtht with the League, who sympathize with you in your struggle, bat have been charged as being your enemies. I Bay, in I many instances, - that -is untrue. They have been misrepresented to a _cry great extent. Only a few . days ago , notices were going the • rounds, being delivered through the mail, to certain parties to leave the county, and sieved as being by order of the League. I said then upon the start to parties who received such notices that they were without authority; that the League was don gno such business, It was done, fellow citizens, to work up a disturbance. How much it did to add to the tragedy of the week is not for me to say ; yet I am satisfied that it did something in that direction. Now, fellow-citizens, as you are* well aware of the fact that the Coroner's Jury has been dismissed or adjourned for ten days, and that it was pr, posed by me, and done by my request, to some extent, at least, I appeal to you as good citi zens to keep ■_■• the , peace, - while I can say to - .? you' that the parallel to ' what has transpired in this county and in this vicinity in the last few days is not to be found— where a people have seer, their neighbors and friends ruthlessly murdered and have not committed great depreda tions upon those th -it they have claimed to be chargeable with the murder of their friends. I say th.it the parallel is not to be found. Let m keep that good name, and the world will look upon us as being a i eople that are worthy to be respected for our action. And let me say to you as good citizens, give no rehearsal of the tragedy ; jdo nothing that will bring disturbance. ,1 feel proud of you as neighbors, as fellow-citizens, and ias men who are struggling for your - homes and ; your rights with me. I feel -proud of you. i Yes, language fails to express my feelings in that direction. 1 1 wish not to arrogate to myself anything toward having done this • within ■' mys-.lf. It has ■ been your action, coupled with my own, that has kept this thing quiet, and I appeal again, and if it were necessary would ' continue to appeal, to you to keep quiet. Keep the peace. Allow no personal animosity or ambition to crawl into your hearts and prompt you c^3S®_SSaSSSSSiSS,'i- ' to mistreat any of your neighbors. Respect their rights and their privileges. Hoping and confiding in jou as pood citizens that you will do it, I lea..c the matter with you. [Applause.] Just one more thought, fellow-citizens, has occurred to my mind. An officer of our county— our Sheriff— informed the railroad authorities that ail was quiet here, and that they might resume the operation of their road and tele graph line with safety ; yet they have failed to do it. Our mails are retained, and it is after they were duly notified that there is no danger here. A vote of thanks was tendered to Major McQuiddy and others for their efforts and advice for keeping the peace. The following resolutions were then unani mously adopted : • IP. -iln -I, That it is the sense of this people that there* is not now, nor has there ever been, any danger in the running of trains or the forwarding of the mails by this road. IP nriri'tl, That it is considered clearly a breach of contract with the United states Government on the part of the railroad authorities in not delivering the mails at this time. The Settlers' League have transmitted the following message to Washington : To the Secretary of the United States Senate : The journals of the Senate and House will show that we have done all in our power for an investiga tion of our case. Seven citizens have been murdered. We pray that our case be beard. We hold the Southern Pacific Railroad Company responsible for their blood and for the future trouble in the Mussel Slouch country. Answer if received. Signed— J. Doyle, T. J. M_.yuiddy, J. W. Pat terson, A. Tyncr, Settlers' Committee. The settlers appear jubilant over the fact that the Government will not use armed force to enforce civil processes, arid that the fight is to be left to the railroad and settlers alone. A. D. Hartt will be buried to-morrow at 10 o'clock A. si. Telegraphic and' railroad communications have been resumed. The first train arrived at Hanford at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and nearly the whole male portion of the town were at the depot to meet it. Sentenced to Death — The Last or Hie Mendocino Oiilluw.4 Doomed to Die- His Statement Before Sentence— marks of the Judge. Uriah, May 14th.— John F. Wheeler was brought into Court yesterday morning promptly at 10 o'clock, and on being inter rogated as to whether he had anything to say why the sentence of the Court should not be passed upon him, replied that he had not, but with the permission of the Court he would like to make a statement. This being granted, he proceeded to give an account of his life since his release from San Quentin. He stated that he had never commit ted a crime against the law since his discharge from imprisonment, and had lived the life of a good citizen : that ever since his discharge he had been beset by ex-convicts and forced to give up to them all the money he had earned, in order to keep them from exposing the fact that he had been in prison. He said that Carr was a traitor, coward and perjured villain, and that the only time he had any thing to say to him was when he saw him in the hotel at Mendocino, at which time he demanded a gun and 89 in money, saying he was on his way to Washington Territory. Wheeler claimed that Dollard and Wright were personal friends of his, and that no man could say that he had ever done anything to injure a friend. He further said that a re port had been circulated by men who were then in the Court-room, for the purpose of prejudicing his case, that his wife was a bad woman, and that he was not married to her, which he pronounced false, saying that she is a good Christian woman and his lawful wife. He said he had no hope of escaping, and that he would go upon the gallows an in nocent man, and with the consciousness that he had never sworn away the life of a human being. Looking straight at the Judge, he said : "If it has never been your misfortune to pass sentence upon an innocent man be fore, you are about to do so now,"' and imme diately folded his arms across his breast and remarked : "I am ready for the sentence." He occupied about ten minutes in delivering his statement, which was entirely impromptu. Judge Prcssley remarked that had he made this statement to the jury it might possibly have had some weight with them in deter mining the verdict ; but that now it was too late, and all he had to do was to pronounce the sentence of the Court in accordance with the verdict rendered, which he did in the fol lowing language : ■ John F. Wheclei : You have been charged with ! the highest crime known to human as well as Divine i law, and of this charge, after a fair and full trial, you have been convicted by a jury of your country men, sworn to try the case and to render a verdict in accordance with the proof. You have been very ably defended. Your counsel have been persistent, and have with pertinacity and skill contested every point made against you. The same laws which you have broken have given you the means of presenting anything by way of defense or exculpation that would tend to establish your innocenccjor to exten uate your acts. After hearing all that you have offered in your defense, a jury of intelligent and unbiased men have found you guilty, and after proof Of circumstances which di vest your crime of the glamour which surrouitds a bold and daring robbery and murder, you re mained in the back ground and had your work done by confederates. If the circumstances detailed by the witnesses are true, and the jury have found them to be so, you were the master spirit of one of the most diabolical conspiracies which has perhaps ever been entered into within the limits of this county. A man who had never harmed you was to have been robbed, and the funds intrusted to him by virtue of his otfice taken away and divided among you and your subordinates in crime. In order to carry on your nefarious purposes you compassed the death of any citizen who might attempt to in terfere with your plans. The result was the death of an estimable citizen of this county, a young man in the prime of life and vigor of manhood, cut down without a moment's warning, and that by men under your command— cowardly secreting them selves, and shooting from an ambush. The fate which has at last overtaken you is but the just de serts of the acts shown by the testimony to have been done by you. Your present condition is but another proof of the scripture, which says that the way of the transgressor is hard. Ido not desire to harrow up your feelings or inflict any more pain upon you than my duty as one of the ministers of justice requires me to do. I will not prolong this, to me, painful scene further than to advise you to prepare to meet the awful fate which will surely overtake you. I have endeavored to give you a fair trial. I am not now aware of any errors com mitted by me to your prejudice. I am glad to know that if I have committed any, and if you have been deprived of any right, there is a tribunal which will correct them, and t > which you may take your case if you so desire. I hope no human being will ever by any mistake of mine be ushered into the presence of the great Judge who will finally award to every one the just deserts of his deeds, and that without a possibility of error. I think you need not look to any power short of Omnipotence for pardon of the crime of which you have been convicted. I advise you to dismiss from your mind all hope of human aid, and look alone to Him who, " though your sins be as scarlet, can make them white as wool." Your sentence and the judgment of the Court is that you be by the Sheriff of Men docino county hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul.' A warrant will hereafter be issued out of and under the seal of this Court fixing Friday, the 2d day of July next, between the hours of 12 o'clock ii. and 3 o'clock r. H. as the time for the execution of the judgment. ■_ The Tulare Trouble— Funeral of One or Ibe Victims at Moeklon. Stockton, May 14th.— The funeral of W. J. Crow, one of the men killed in the Tulare trouble, took place this morning at Kural Cemetery. The attendance of relatives and friends was large, and much sympathy is ex pressed for the widow, who has been residing in Stockton for some three or four weeks past. The Crowey Harder Trial at Napa. Napa, May" 14th.— trial of John Crowey, indicted for murder, has occupied the - attention ot the Superior Court of this county, Judge William Wallace presiding, since the 3d instant. The testimony was very voluminous, and several days were con sumed in hearing it. Counsel for the prose cution, commenced arguing Thursday after noon, and the case was given to the jury this afternoon at C o'clock. The speech of Judge A.' Campbell, associate counsel for the de fense, occupied over three hours. Crowey is 21 years of age. His father, 67 years old, and a brother, about 23, are indicted for the same offense.

She leaves five small children, her husband having gone off and left her and them destitute, Of the strike in the New York mine Cap tain ivan, the Superintendent, says : "From the 1,000-foot station of the incline the drift was started south, running at a right angle with the incline, and has been advanced about 75 feet along the west side of the ledge. Yesterday the face of the drift was found to be in good ore. The ledge takes in the full face of the drift at the top, and dips to the east on an angle correspond ing to that of the incline, so that the bottom ! of the drift is partly in quartz and partly in ] porphyry." It is a good prospect for the I mine, and very encouraging, the ore being exactly like Crown Point ore ; but it is noth- I ing to go wild over, as nobody can tell ! whether it will hold out. Some assays have : gone as high as •*144, but the average is from j 825 to §30. The drift will be run ahead 30 I feet further, and a crosscut made to deter mine the width of the ledge. Warren J. Sheridan says the ledge is very strong and ! the prospects excellent. On the upper levels, i where crosscuts were made, the ledge was i found to be 90 feet wide, and he sees no good I reason why the same width may not be ex- ) pected in the 1,000-foot level. Wherever the ' the Alta people have cut the same vein they have found the richest ore on the east side, I and as the west side is so rich in the New York mine he argues that the chances of its holding good are very favorable. .- __ _ .

Victoria, May 14th. —A singular accident occurred at Nanaimo yesterday. Two old eighty-pound shells were discovered lying on an island near Nanaimo a short time ago, and were brought to town, where they were used by the young men in athletic games, and when not so used were left lying on the side walk in front of J. Korter's barber shop. Yesterday some men gathered round Korter's stand, and were watching Korter amusing himself with experimenting on one of the shells, which was unluckily charged. After drawing the plug some of the powder, which was damp, dropped from the shell, and Kor ter started some of this powder on fire. After j firing off what loose powder there was on the ground, Korter applied a match to the shell, which at once exploded, bursting into a number of pieces, which were thrown in different directions, one piece passing through Mr. Harvey's store and another through the bar-room of the Nanaimo Hotel. One of the pieces was thrown into the convent garden, a distance of 700 or 800 yards, penetrating the ground to a depth of a foot, Korter's right leg was shat tered fearfully, and at the time of the acci dent the doctors thought he would live but a few minutes. The physicians at once ampu tated the limb below the knee, and the pa tient is doing well. The doctors say that there is now every hope of his ultimate re covery. A little girl of Mrs. Watkins re ceived a light flesh wound in one arm, a small piece of shell passing through it. George Packard, one of the bystanders, is slightly burned about the face. Alfred Somery was thrown into the air about the hight (it the veranda, and sustained some slight bruises about the legs. j All the windows in the vicin ity were smashed to atoms. '- «i - -, . .- A day or two since two Frenchwomen were passengers on one of the local trains between Virginia and Carson, Nev. They had with them, in a big tin cage, a parrot that annoyed ! every one with its constant squalling and gabble. Observing the un friendly glances which were being bestowed upon the bird, one of the women pulled down a cloth cover that was on the top of the ■ cage. 'When 7 this extinguisher was clapped upon the bird and it found itself in the dark, it growled out: "That's d—d smart." The bird kept quiet for a few minutes, then yelled in its shrillest tones : "Look out, Sarah, he's going to kiss yon !" The conductor, who hap pened to be in the car, said : " That parrot must be an old traveler on railroads. He seems to think we are passing through a tunnel." _ ♦ --" ■ : The San Rafael Journal perpetrates this : The weekly train on the Petaluma and San Rafael Railroad is : now run weakly once a month, g It is rumored that a construction train disturbed the Novate ball pasture one day thia spring.: * ' DAILY I_F.r_-RD-r-.iny SERIES, YOLI.-1E M..11.1-K ;:..

Hop Bitters is not, in any sense, an alco- holic beverage or liquor, and could not be old, for use, except to persons desirous of obtaining medicinal bitters. GREEN B. RAUM, U. S. Coin'r Internal Rev. ." - Washington, 1). C, Sept 24, 187!). Dear Sir : Why don't you get a certificate from Col. XV. H. W., of Baltimore, showing low he cured himself of drunkenness by the help of Hop Bitters. His is a wonderful case. He is well-known in Rochester, N. V., by all he drinking people there. He is known in his city, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York ; in fact, all over the country, as he has spent thousands of dollars for rum. I honestly be- lieve his card would be worth thousands of dollars to you in this city and Baltimore lone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your Bitters. J. A. XV.
