Singular Scene at the Departure Of d
2taamar. fH'+ ~


D. From the San Francisco Bulletin, Sept SOL (
! As the Panama steamer was about to sail
this morning, carriage drove down town
ito the landing and young couple got out.
The female of thu party was very hand
some, ad the man not bad looking. They
had evidently made every arrangement for
departure, and largo Saratoga trunk con-
taining the young woman 8 worldly goods
was carried on board by the porters The
Ipouple then followed and we're, seed loiter.
ing in the saloon apparently impatient to
sail. Her face was beaming with bushes,
but he was observed to be quite anxious
about something. 5Hs
q When the first signal for those not pas
sengers to 60 ashore was sounded, he sud
denly recollected that he hnd promised to
see some one on the wharf, and telling the
young lady that he would Immediately re-
turn, he rushed of the steamer and con
cealed himself in the crowd. He wanted
the cables cast Off; he wished to see the
gang plank hauled in, and to hear the sig
nal gun of the departing steamer, but he
had no desire to avail himself Of the BEN
efits of his own ticket to New York,
Again the warning gong was sounded,
and as he had not yet appeared the young
woman in the saloon became alarmed Why
did he not returnf She hastened to the
side Of the nteamer and deserted the young
man making quick time away from the
landing The entire truth flashed on her
mind. She had been sent away. He did
not intend to go. She was betrayed and
deserted. The plank was unloossned and
about to be taken away, when the deserted
damsel sped down it like an arrow, and
burly porters staggered in her wake under
the load of her Saratoga box She made
the wharf, sprang into a hack, the trunk
was taken up, and in On instant she was in
hot pursuit Of the false. one. The chase
was exciting, and the crowd watched it as
long, ,as they could, with intense interest.
It has not beep asesrtained whether she
,chgght him or whether the pursuit ia still
going ON. At all events, the steamship
company has the price Of two through
tickets without the expense Of carrying the
passengers, It's stated that the man who
attempted to play this trick on the fair one
is we'll known in this city and is married
man. She was not his wife.

good business letters, but lettera containing

Algeria. They had been condemned to
death in June last; one for the murder OF

and, after the usual toilette, were taken in
covered vehicle escorted by soldiers to
the place Of execution, where they arrived
a little before in state Of extreme pros
