MYSTERIOUS HOMICIDE IN SAN FRAN
cIsco.-The San Francisco Times of the
| 18th inst. alludes to a my sterious homicide
in that city as follows:
| Bernard Mckeon. confidential clerk OF
| Donohue & Kelly's Bank, died Yesterday, at
| his residence, on jackson street, above
Stockton, under very mysterious circum-
stances. On the evening of FRIDAY, May 9TH,
Mckeon and another clerk of the bank named
J. L. McGeoghegan, visited one of the thea
tiers. They afterwards walked round together,
to several hotels and saloons, and drank
several times Some time after midnight
they we're at the Occidental Hotel, and were
evidently both under the influence of liquor
McGeoghegan took carriage. and in com
pany with one or two Of his friends, went to
his residence, somewhere near the Mission
NcKeon remained at the hotel, but soon
afterwards left Ola foot. 1t is said that he
was subsequently seen in a remote portion
of the city. He was unmarried, and re-
sided on Jackson street, with his two sisters.
Some time before morning, he was found in
the hall of his house near the front door, in
an insensible condition. Nothing was
known Of the time OF manner of his coming
home. He was found to be terribly beaten
and injured on the head and body. He had
either been kicked and stamped or beaten
with heavey club. He was carried to his
bed, and DR.. Toland and other physicians
were called to his assistance. the injured
man never spoke afterward, and thus his
family and friends are left entirely In the
dark as to the inexplicable affair. The
matter was kept a secret for several days, |
but when it became certain that death must
ensue, the circumstances we have related |
were made public. How Mckeon could have
been so badly injured without the fact being
known at the time, and how he could have
gained access to his own house after sus-
aiming such injury are matters which none
IAN understand. 1t is evident there was no
attempt at robbery in connection with the
assault, his watch and purse were found
his possession. The deceased
vas about 80 years Of age.

A YOU'VE GIRL KILLED By LIGHTNING
The Chicago Tribune Of May 9Th says !:

The Chicago Tribune Of May 9Th says
A few faint CLEANS of lightning in the
east on Tuesday night, and the sombre
array of clouds which had been mass
ing themselves all day, full of tempest
uous suggestion, were the OILY an
nouncements of tie brisk though brief
storm early on yesterday morning. The
lightning was alternately feeble and
dazzling, the thunder of the quick, rat
lliug sort. which generally accompanies
desperate elemental struggle. While
it lasted, the subtle electric fluid man
aged TO do more than an Ordinary
amount of mischief. First, while n
girl named Margaret Connel, fourteen
years old, was on her way TO get loaf
of bread for breakfast, on Kossuth
street, near Singer, n vivid bolt of
lightning killed her Instantly. Her
body was scorcbed aud burned, and dis
figured most horribly. Her clothes
were torn to pieces, and her very shoes
were snatched from her feet and hurled
a considerable distance.

THE ILLEGALITY OF SToCK GAMBLING

!
The San Francisco Chronicle of the l2ti
inst, has the following:
| There was quite futter among the stock
sharps on California street yesterday Oh
receipt of the news of the decision Of Judge
| Barnard, of the Supreme Court of New
York, that sales of stocks without actual
| transfer are Illegal and void. The case de-
cided by Judge Barnard was one in which a
party sued to recover the sum of $1,000,
profits on the sale of certain mining stocks
that plaintiff had ordered defendant to buy
and sell. The defense set up was that there
was no purchase nor sale and no transfer of
property, the transaction being merely
gambling affair, and, as such, void. The
Judge sustained this plea. and decided that
plaintiff could not recover, such transac-
tons are illegal. The effect of this decision
is to render all contracts for stocks sold
" short" void, and causes all transactions in
stocks to depend on the good faith of the
contracting partleS,a conultlon considered
so precarious by stock dealers as to set them
looking after each other with extraordinary
vigilance. The purchase or sale of stocks
through an agent without the actual transfer
of the property is decided to be gambling
and illegal. The decision has caused more
stir in the stock market than the great earth
quake caused among the real estate owners.
Stock transactions being generally con-
Quoted "on honor" are of the nature of the
English turf practice of "cooking" bets
and we should say that Judge Barnard's
decision merely confirmed tacitly admit
ted fact. We reckon the game will go on as
usual, legal or illegal.

Myriads of grassh"ppers coming from a

they made their appearance in this vicinity

serious damage resulted from their ravages.

and ranchers are alarmed at the prospect Of
loo>ing their crops by their devastations. 1t
is said by those who have studied their
habits that the moment they become old
enough to travel they will take up their line
of march to the west. If such is the case, as
there are no settlements west of the
Humbol; river nearer than Honey Lake and
Long Valleys no great INJURY need be appre
hended from the pests. This is the first time
in the History of Humboldt that the grass
hopper plague has been feared by ranchers.

Foor RAcE.-The Reese River Reveille Of
the IA inst, says:
Two ambitious pedestrians of this city,
named Chapman and Watterhouse, were
last night pitted in foot-race from this city
to Jacobsville, distance of seven miles, for
purse of S25. They started together but
separated at the foot of the grade and took
different roads. Chapman walked in down
right earnest and made Hinckley's at Jacob
svllle, in capital time, but his competitor
was not to be seen. Jacobsville was abed
and asleep when he arrived. and he conclud-
ed to await the coming of Warehouse or
daylight. The latter appeared first, shortly
after which came Hinckley, who certified to
the presence of Chapman and the absence
of Warehouse. Thus prepared, Chapman
returned to this city and claimed the purse,
which is held in allowance until Warehouse
appears and renders explanations.

NARROW EscAPE.-While the freight
train by which five companies the Twenty
first Regiment were brought to the city
was coming across the slongh, an met. 'ated
soldier who had climbed upon the roof # a
box-car laid down and attempted to look over
into the car through the door. He crawled a
little too near the edge while thus fooiishly
engaged, and was by sudden jolt precipita-
ted headforenost to the trestlework, falling,
fortunately, in such manner that the train
cleared him. Parties who had observed the
accident picked him up and conveyed him to
the round-house, where it was found that he
had received by the fall cut over his nose,
several bruises and jarring of the body gen.
orally. The latter caused fit of coughing,
during which he expectorated some olood.
After allowing him TO rest awhile, George
Carroll, foreman of the round-huuse, sent the
soldier down to Front street on hand-car.
When the car reached the Water Works
building, however, he got off and travelled to-
ward the steamer landing on foot, apparently
but little hurt.-Sacrameato Union, 18th.
