The liabilities amount to about $100,000, bat his assets cannot yet be ascertained.

Late Wednesday night a dynamite eartridge was exploded in the cable slot on the Larkin branoh of. the Batter Street railroad in San Francisco. The rocks on either side of the slot were loosened and the masonry rwork badly shattered.

In a saloon two blocks away a lighted lamp was thrown to the floor and nearly oaused a ooiflgration. The iron plates on the manholes of the track were found twenty feet away.

The com mittee tads that it is ealled upon not only to investigate and determine ques tions of fact bat to interpret the law. It is argued on the one hand thai to be a practical printer and book-binder one mast have served an apprenticeship at type-setting and have worked with his own bands at book-binding.

This after noon a polioeman forced in the entrance to the rear of a frame dwelling No. 1025 Locust street, and discovered the dead bodits of two old misers, Joseph Perry, aged 73 years and Robert Prioe, aged 65 years. The men were eeeen trio, and had oocupied the premises over thirty years, although neither had performed any manual labor for over eight years. They ocoupied two rooms on the groond floor, both of whioh were scantily furnished, while the door leading to the second floor was looked and barred and nailed to keep intruders from effecting an entrance by that means. Both men were known as risers and refused to associate with anyone in the neighborhood. 1 hey al ways kept the windows tightly olosed, ana both were never known to be ab sent from the house at the same time. Ail sorts of stories were afloat about trie neighborhood. Some of the neighbors stated that they were known to have money dt posited in the Philadelphia saving fund and other banking institu tions. This morning one of the occu pants of the adjoining premises notified an officer that neither Perry nor Prioe had been seen to leave or enter the dwelling for over a week, and the offieer forced open the rear window shatter and entered. In the back room he . stum bled over the dead body of rriee, whioh was lying on the fljor, and in the front room the body of Perry was found lying on an old iousgo- Both were terribly tmwiated and bad every appearance of having starved to death. The coroner's physicians viewed the remains and ex pressed the opinion that death had re sulted from that cause. . A Sag K-Un. Cor. of the News and Observer. Cabt, N. C Jan. 7, 1887, To the Honorable The General Assembly of . OV : Dear Sirs -1 as a oitiien and voter of Wake county, do hereby appeal to your honorsbli body. As y-.'.i have the power to make and change &s , I wish to suggest that, ac cording o the best information loan get, if a mva wife becomes insane, he oannot sell hid I -.rid and make a lawful title be cause sb- is not a fit subjeot to sign the aeed. I will suppose a ease: say A sells to B 1 000 acres of land in the year 1880. B is to pay A $10,000 for the land. A gives B five v ears to pav for said land. B pays $2 000 the first year, $z,VOO the second year, and so on until the last payment has been made. A gives to B a bond of twenty thousand dollars to make him a good and lawful title when the last I payment is made. Now, from the best information that I can get, if A or his wife should either be so unfortunate as to become insane before the last pay ment is made, neither he nor she oan ! make a lawful title to b ; It makes no difference how muoh either should de sire to do so. I do think your honor able body should ohange the law so that in oase of insanity, either the husband or the wife oould have all power to make the title good, as if there were no in sanity. Now, to be plain, I am a man in the above situation and no doubt there are many others. I desire to make a lawful deed without having to go through a prooess of law. I am in hopes yon will give this a thorough consideration and hope it may meet your approval. Respeotfully, Jas. R. Youho. DwatracUv Itr la Bskata, Ft. Paul, Jan. 7.

The explosion had ooourree in the sewer that carried off the refuse matter from the oil eupolos, and in some way the gas became ignited. The flames followed the sewer and ran into the river the surface of whioh, for a distance of 200 yards, was soon a mass of flimes, which later ignited the large coke sheds on the bank. Two fire alarms were turned in and the . fire was under ; control in half an hour. The loss is nominal. There were a dcien men at work in the works when the explosion oc curred, and all of them were thrown down, some being hurled several feet. Four were seriously injured and were taken to their homes.

The bitter eold weather, while it tends to reduoe the daily receipts of ootton in the market, does not have much effect on the retail trade. A visit to any of the leading business houses in the city reveals considerably activity in traffic in all lines and shows that numer ous visitors are in from the country every day. The bad condition of the roads prohibits the bringing in of heavy loads of prodaee and the Exohange streets have not for the past two days, presented their usual activity, though the market is firm and all the produce that is brought in commands high prioes. The cotton market is especially firm, with the Staple in good demand at the highest market price . of money has been comparatively free all through the season and the cotton buyers have large amounts oa hand to pay for cotton as soon a it can be con veniently brought in. The receipts so far this year have exceeded the receipts of last year by about four thouss ad bales, ad dories whole sea?bn.He market has been kept up to the highest niche, showing the liberality of the buyers of the eity and the plentifulness of money on hand.. A general rule is that far mers arc always pleased with the sales and bargains they can make in Raleigh a fact which probably ac counts for the increasing patronage the eity receives from them.
