Eorr ArijnTTip.— The trial of James L. Eoff, for the murder of Wm. Chapman, was closed yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, by a verdict of ae'jmttal. after the jury bad been out about twenty minuter. The homicide was committed at the " Pony Saloon," in the presence of several witDtFse:. on the morning of the 17th January last. There had been a h orse- race that day, and Eoff had lost. Chapman said he wu t»o drank to <iriv«. This offended Eoff. and it appears thst there wa«. or bad been bef re. an unfriendly feeling between the two. ?h*y met a* the saloon ab*>ut 7 o'cl«»ck in the evenioir. and Eoff addressed Chapman, refcrrins: anirrily t<i what th* later had said. Aft" several remarks on both sid's. Chapman asked what he intended to do abunt it. Eoff replied that he wou.d rhout him. This threat was beard by one wniie*« : another, who w** present, says be d d not hear anvsui-h threat. Chnpmnn wect up to toff and took hi 14 of him. Eoff bad a ri-'toi which he snapped at hifadrmsary: taey were then separated, and EotTenr>ed his pbt«l. One witness swears that Chapman had a pistol in bU hand at this time: uri'Hij. r t>f s that when E"ff cursed his pistol, he ■aw Chaiman had a pistol, a.so. Af tr the separation, Euff told Cnaptaan it would be well fur biin to leave: he U'.nflJ was in the habit of making men letve the country. Some one went to Chapman ami aivierd him to leave; rhapman replied that he would not run from anybody, and Euff would not suoot. Ibey w-ie then in different rooms, but within hearing of each other, and Eoff continued Fuetkinr i> Chapman in a loud, taunting and threatening nuiuner; Chapman drew his pistol, a derringer, went into the room where Eoff was, and fir.-'!, ib- ball tuikUig Ihe wall high above Luff's bead. The latter bad a putol like a derricKer in bis coat pip 'kit. and without taking it from the pocket, fired it through the lining, inflicting a fatal wouDd. Thf»e were the main circumstances of the ra-f. as dedurible from tbe evidence, which was puhli*be<l in lull in the Alt a at the time of the Coroners inquest. No important new testimony mi produced on the trial, though some minor points were differently stated. Fim t* CtAT 6T«gr».— At half pastUn o'clock last night, the city was startled by the tre bell, md in a few minutes afterward. Clay street waa illuminated by a bright and vigorous flame ascending from a barber shop at No. 522, in a one-story wubden house next to the building known as Court Block, which adjoint Gilbert's Melodeon. The fire department, or some companies at least, happened to be out at the moment in consequence of tbe fire on Front street, and they ln«t no time in reaching the conflagration in Clay street. They toon had their streams pouring upon it from front sod rear, and the flames want out almost as suddenly a* they Appeared, leaving most of the wood wora of the t>hnp in its plsce, but all charred by the are. which had ftized upon everything, but had time to destroy nothing. The direct h"» to the barbers— a couple of colored men, who di<! not appear at the premises for some time after tbe blaze was extinguished— cannot he more than a few hunilrei dollars. The indirect loss in custim is probablr greatftr than the direct loss of furniture, etc llie building on the went of |tbe bsrber shop is of brick, and waa not injured: rast of the barbershop, in the same one**f>ry 'rainc buildinv, was the boot tnd fhoe f hop of Mr. Staub. His tliep was closed, md nobody waa present to take care of hit stock: t>ot the Police kicked tbe door open and removed fverything to a place of safety. After the fire was ill out, Mr. Staub made his appearance, and stared > little as he entered his .hop. where be saw nothing of his goods. He wat soon reassured by the »mcer« and Uken to where his property had been placed. The injury to the building waj pretty lerio'i*. The city would not lament tbe erection of > three-story brick in its place. Tbe saloon on Merchant street, in the re.r of the barber sho». Fuflered somewhat, fur several companies t«ok Lbeir hose through, and the companies on the other tide ponreJ their water in pretty freely.

Hcverendt Lacy and Williamson conducted the funeral exercises, which were of a very appropriate and impressive character. The body was S laced in a metallic burial casket, and temporarily eposited in a receiving vault to await such disposition as the relatives of the deceased may deem proper. The remains will probably be removed to the Atlantic States for final interment. FUNERAL RITES.— The funeral of Captain T. W. Seeley was attended from Trinity Church on Friday noon. A large concourse of the personal friends of the deceased were present. Rev. Mr. Wyatt officiated on the mournful occasion, and read the ritual of the Episcopal Church in a solemn and impressive manner. The pall bearers, all intimate friends of the Captain, were mostly of the same calling with himself. The remains were interred in Lone Mountain Cemetery. RICH QUARTZ.— The Alta's mineralogical cabinet was enriched yesterday by a specimen of auriferous quart* taken from the Nellis claim, eight mile, east «f Columbia. Tuolumne county, which rives indication! that the claim it one of th* most valuable in tbe State. The quart is of a deep red color, partially decomposed, and seem, to be but th. medium of concentrating a large amount of gold in fine scales.
