LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA.

DAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ~, 1910
During the week Just passed, another
shocking death has taken place, under
circumstances which give rise to the
greatest doubts and suspicious.
WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE?
On the evening Of the 14th INST, at
about half past eleven o'clock, some
hackmen standing near the Plaza, OBJ
served man and woman, less than q
hundred feet from them engaged in an
earnest conversation. Suddenly, the
sound Of a pistol shot rang out, with
fearful distinctiyeness upon the air, the
woman was seen to fall, and the man
walked away. They, who had witnessed
the tragedy hastenod to the spot where
the victim lay, and found her
wELTERIHG IN HER BLOOD,
And gasping in the agonies of death.
The bullet pierced her heart, and the
end was almost instantaneous. In her
hand was firmly srasped pistol, with
which it was at first supposed she, her
self had done the CHASTITY deed, but sub
sequsnt Investigations have divided the
opioion in regard to it, some thinking it
a murder instead of suicide. She was
identified as the wife OF j. Terrence, of
the California theater, where she was

The two haden't lived together year,
and the man with whom she was talking
was hack driver by the name of Hogan,
with whom she had been living, and who.
if it was murder, is unquestionably
guilty of the crime. The report of the
| Coroncr's jury has not yet been laid be-
fore the public, although it is known
that a cofict of opinions exists. The

ANOTHER POISONING HORROR.
Right upon the heels of the just and
indignant censure with which the mex.
cusable carelessness OF druggist con-
nected with the boy poisoning case was
viewed, comes another which, if posi-
bic, calls for greater degree of condem.
nation, inasmuch as both ignorance and
carelessness this time, lent their aid to 0
death.
JOHN HEseIN DIES BY sTRYCHNINE.
After the unfortunate man had taker
the deadly stuff, physician was called
in, but it was too late. The drugsis
who sold the poison testified at the in
quest that he never heard of the exist
ence of an ordinance making it incum
bent upon him TO label any poison of hi
selling, and neither had he obeyed for &
year the statute regulating the sale o
poison, which says that "a druggist, OF
vending poisonous drugs, enter in bool
kept for that purpose the name and ad
dress of the purchaser. If few more
individuals are 'done to death" in thi,
manner, little hanging Of the RICH
parties would, observe have mos
beneficial effect.

STOCKS.
For three or four days after my las
week S letter, quotations of leading stock
held their own, as reported then. Oh
the 10th, the fire of speculation suddenl,
blazed out, after the regular sessions
and, for a time, seemed to promise an
other rampage. The report that Hale 4
Norcross had struck it rich" in tn
1900-foot level, brought the Comstocl
out, in short order, and a majority o
them made an advance Of ten per cent
! before the brokers left California street
A strong and growing speculative ten
dency was exhibited, and the next morn
ing showed a still further improvement
in the quotations Of the Comstock-Hal
; & Norcross, Con. Virginia, Chollnr ant
Savage all showing an advance. Til,
first was quoted at $69@73; the second
$71G711a; Chollar, S6S(d69, and Savage
$l0211a(3104.
Ely stocks were lower, with few order
to buy. The small stocks Remained
about the same. The decline in Ray
mond & Ely is owing to the fact that i
has been designated by leading pape
as .....
IAN EMPTY NINE"
And many think its glory has forever de
parted, with the ore which is found in

brokers, and, if true, heavy losses nre in
, evitable. .... E.a=.
