Horrible Occurrence IA San Fran.
cisco.

a horrible occurrence took place at Stock
ton early in April, by which two lives were
lost. the particulars of which are as follows:
Mr.. Brown, an express man, or partic-
ular night had placed his safe, containing
$4,000, in charge of clerk named Morony,
who slept with friend named Bowlin. with
the KEY Of the safe under bis pillow In the
morning the money was gone, but the lock
was uninjured. As Morony accused Bowln
of the theft, the latter was arrested and
placed under s., 900 bends to stand trial
a night or two afterwards. a. Mr.. Brown
was crossing from the City Hotef be was
fred at By Bowlin. Two shets Ws.e fre9,
but only one took effect, Mr BroRn b1ring
his thigh completely shattered BY the first.
This tragic act created the greatest eI-
element at Stockton, and $1,000 was Of
fered as a reward for the capture Of the mur-
derer, who made his escape
Three days afterwards information wa5
given the police th4t Bowlin had been seen
At Mormon Bar. Two officers started in
pursuit. When they came in sight Of him
and ordered him to surrender he turned and
! SAID it they advanced any further be would
shoot tie first man that did 50. At that
moment he dropped his pistol on the ground,
and drank off the contents Of a two ounce
vial containing prussic acid.
Fhe officers thought he was coming to
meet them a. they advanced, but at that
moment be picked up his pistol and started
off and said again that if they advanced up
on him, he would shoot them The officers
then fired upon him but did not hit him
He went about $50 yards, but when the o.
icers came up to him he was dying and ten
minutes afterwards expired
A Stockton paper adds: Mr. Bowlin was
a member Of one of the wealthiest and most
respectable families in Alabama; his charac,
ter. up to the time of this affair, had been
blameless; his disposition amiable--his
friends reputable and numerous Rather
than endure the odium Of public trial. he
committed self-destruction. Thus has fallen
a high minded young man. Brown i also
\ dead; each j. the victim Of the others error.
Let no one say that either i blameless."

vested the right TO the lands in the State
for the term Of ten years, from the date of
its approval, without any action upon her
part, our most extended charity can find no
excuse for the Governors longer hesitating
to perform his duty, after seeing the action
the President has taken m tie matter.
The question now arises, will the Cover
ner, seeing the necessity Of speedy action,
do that which is plainly his duty? VIII
he avail himself of the time given by this
reservation Will he, without delay, take
such steps as will result in speedy location
and survey of the roads or will he act
with the same obstinacy and disregard Of
public opinion that has characterized his
course since his elevation to the chief mag
istracy of this State. He has now an op-
portunity of doing something for the State
may we not hope he will avail himself of
it.
We have already occupied more space
with this subject than we at first intended;
the ground having been fully covered by an
article from the Gazette and Democrat"
which appears in our columns to- day. and to
which, in conclusion, we invite the attention

Female Piety.-The Gem of al others which
enriches the coronet of lady's character, is
unaffected piety. Nature may lavish much on
her person-the enchantment of the counten-
ance-the grace and strength of her intellect
yet her loneliness is uncrowned till piety
throws around the sweetness and power of her
charms. She then becomes unearthly in de-
sires and associations. The spell which bound
her affections to the things below is broken,
and she mounts on the silent wings Of her fam
cy and hope, to the habitation of her God
where 1t is her delight to hold communion with
the spirits that have been ransomed from tie
thraldom OF earth, and wreathed with garland
of glory. Her beauty may throw magical
charm over many; princes and conquerors may
bow with admiration at the shrine of her love;
the sons Of science and poetry may embalm
her memory in history and song, yet her piety
must be her armament-her pearl. Her name
must be written in the "Book of Life" that
when the mountains fade away, and eyery me-
mento of earthly greatness is lost in the gene
raj wreck of nature, it may remain and Swell
the list of mighty throng, who have been cloth
ed with the mantle of righteousness, and their
voice attuned to the melody of heaven. With
such treasure, every lawful eradication on
earth may be purchased friendships viii be
doubly sweet, pain and sorrow will will lose
their sting, and Der character VIII possess a
price far above riches; life will be but a pleas
ant visit to the earth, and death the entrance
upon joyful and perpetual home And when
the notes of the last trump shall be heard, and
sleeping millions wake to judgement, its pos
SCISSOR shall be presented faultless before the
throne of God, with exceeding Joy and crown
of glory that shall never fade away. Piety
communicates divine lustre to the female
mind; wit and beauty, like the flowers of the
field, may flourish and charm for season; but
like the flowers, those gifts are frail and fading;
age will nip the bloom of beauty; sickness and
misfortune will stop the current of wit and hui
NOR. In the gloomy seasons, piety viii sup
port the dropping soul like the refreshing dew
upon the parched eerth. Such is piety, like a
tender flower, planted in the fertile soil of a
woman's heart, it grows, expanding its foliage
and imparting its fragrance to all around, till
transplanted and set to bloom in perpetual Wig
or and unfading beauty in the Paradise of God.
Follow this start will light you through eve
~ labyrinth in the wilderness of life, gid the
gloom that gathers around dying hour, and
bring you safely over the tempestuous Jordan
of death, into the heaven of promised rest

M0netdry.-At the East, we have but little
change to note in the Money Market. The rates
continue at from to p cent. for short paper.
Long paper is avoided, in view of the present
unsettled state of foreign affairs. Should there
be war in Europe, the channel for capital
would be changed. Capitalists, therefore, pre-
fer to keep control of their means. The Banks
are discounting freely for their customers; and
money is plenty, with no pressing calls.
While under the uncertainty of European ad-
vices, money remains comparatively inactive,
the Grain Market is very animated, though
somewhat checked by the rapid advance in
freight, consequent upon the "war news" for
should there be war in Europe, the carrying
trade will be confined to American shipping en-
tirely, and the supply would not be equal to the
demand. The current opinion is that there will
be no war-at present, at least-though the ad-
vances made by Russia upon the Turkish terri
tory will need some explanation.
Foreign Exchange mas fuctuated from 100
to 1893, and at last reports the latter quotation

Erie has fuctuated some, and is somewhat
heavy under the recent changes in the admin

A decline is also noted in Cleveland and Pitts
