A DELIBERATE MURDER.

LAKE PoRr, Cal, October 8.

LAKE PoRT, CAL, October 8.
A man named Gentry, residing near
Lower Lake, vent last evening to the
house of one Bashaw, the father-in-law of
Gentry, and shot through the window at
his wife, who had separated from him, and
left her for dead. He then went TO James
Tennison's house and told Mrs. Tennison
he had killed his wife, and was going to
kill himself. Shortly afterwards, hearing
a shot, some of the n%eighbors e in
search, and found Gentry dead. His neck
was almost cut half off by a charge of shot.
The woman was also shot in the neck with
bird-shot, but is not thought to be danger
ously wounded. The parties had been
married about six weeks.
VALLEJO, October 8.
A correspondent of the Vallejo Chron-
icle, writing from Middletown, Lake
county, gives tho intelligence of the killing
at that place of Charles Bates, an engineer
employed at the Napa Consolidated quick
silver mine, by Thomas Dye, on the after
noon of the LIST instant. The account rep
resents the killing as a deliberate murder.
The two were strangers to each other they
had had an alteration a short time before
the shooting, but were parted. Meeting
casually again in front Of the Lake County
House, Dye, Immediately and without
a word, pulled his revolver and
fired. The ball entered Bates breast,
and passed through his body. He lin
gered for four hours and died. The de-
ceased was a native Of New York and 26
years of age. What added to the tragedy
was the fact that he had come to town with
his wife to attend the marriage of his sis
ter. The nuptials had been celebrated but
a few moments before his murder. Dye
was under the influence of liquor. He
was Immediately arrested, and at the time
of the correspondents writing Dye was
surrounded by a strong guard, to protect
him from being lynched by the excited in
habitants.
The jury in the case of the People vs..
Lawther, charged with the murder Of Jno.
Thompson, at Rio Vista, June 10th, which
has been on trial at Fairfield since last
Monday, were discharged this afternoon,
having been unable to agree. They we're
out 20 hours, and stood ten for conviction
to two for acquittal. His bail was fixed at
$40. 900. The fact Of the killing in this
case was admitted. The plea Of the de-
Tense was emotional insanity, caused by
the seduction of the defendants sister by
Thompson, under a promise of marriage,
and the Boosting Of the exploit by Thomp-
son among the acquaintance Of the girl.
The trial lasted three days and excited
much interest.

GEORGE BUTTS EXECUTION.
Great sympathy for h Doomed
MN.

From the Truckee "aepublican."I
Yesterday the extreme penalty Of the law
was carried out by the execution OF George
| Butts, for the murder OF William Roberts,
at Forest Springs, on September g, 1876.
Perhaps a greater amount OF sympathy
never was extended to a condemned Grim
inal by the people Of Nevada county. The
ignorance and poverty of Butts, the pc
culiar circumstances attending his trial,
and the fact that another man. differently
situated financially, would doubtless have
been cleared, have caused much feeling In
his favor. His counsel deserve great
credit for their faithful, persistent efforts
in his behalf. The California Legal hec-
ord" in speaking of the case in the gu
preme Court, says:
1--WE cannot forbear resculng from the
dusty archives Of the law the snbJolned
peroration Of Georges S. Hupp, the eloquent
counsel for the defense
II it were permitted me to travel some
what beyond the record, and to present to
the consideration of your Honors a series
of facts which have come to the surface
since the trial of this cause, and which by
reason of the local obscurity and lmpecu-
mostly of the defendant, and the utter
friendlessness which in this country seems
almost ALWAYS to follow i'll the wake OF inn
pecuniositv. | have an Astounding con-
fidence that I could win that civic wreath
which under the iron law of old Rome it
was the custom to bestow upon him who
should save the life of a citizen.
If 1 we're arguing a cause involving the
ownership of a horse, of the value OF three
hundred dollars, it might be that l could
invoke the aid of equity, for the purpose
of correcting the law wherein it is defec-
tive by reason of its universality--but in
the discussion of an issue upon which the
~unimportant matter Of a human life de-
ponds, l am nailed down to the cold and
technical rules of the law, and must ac-
cept the situation.

THE HAPLESS HEATIIEN.
Orders Issued to Him "a Move from
n Vicinity OF the Pavilion.

The workmen engaged upon the pavil-
ion were ordered to quit work at 0 O'Clock
this morning, and Superintendent Beck
attended q meeting of the Building Com
mittee and rendered his resignation. The
reason for this was that the Chinese, con-
trary to an agreement upon which the
ground was purchased, have been allowed
to remain on the adjoining lots. Four
gangs of heather are living in the holes in
the ground between the pavilion and vir-
ginia street, and the rear of the old paint
shop on the corner is occupied by Chinese
prostitutes. Mr.. Beck had further learned
that Mr.. Manning, the owner Of the prop
erty, had sold, or was about to sell, part Of
the ground to a Chinaman. A gang of
Cinnamon have also made their homes in
an old cellar belonging to Mr.. Lake. The
Committee refused to receive Mr.. Beck's
resignation and called in a'body upon Mr..
Manning. That gentleman promised to
rescind the sale and keep the promise of
his late partner Mr.. Duck. Mr.. Lake
also promised to roust out the heather and
clean his lots opposite the pavilion. The
Committee then notified the Cinnamon to
vacate their lens before shutdown, and
John has been moving vigorously all day
in compliance with the command, having
no mind TO be washed out by q stream
from a steam fire engine. The men re-
sumed work on the pavilion at 10 o'clock.

BELGRADE, October 8.
The news from various parts of Bosnia
shows that the Turks and insurgents have
abandoned further resistance, it having
become apparent that neither moral nor
material assistance can any longer be
hoped for from the Porte, unless other po-
litical complications arise.
Upwards Of 400 insurgents have fled to
Servia, where they nave been disarmed
and returned. Among them are two
Pashas, 200 Beys and a whole battalion Of
Nizams. They brought with them three
Krupp gun 1000 breech-loading rifles,
horses, stores, etc. Small bands cross the
frontier daily, with their wives, children
and property.
LONDON, October 8.
A dispatch from Glasgow states that the
causes of the Glasgow Bank failure are
reported to have arisen from the advance,
to the amount of six million pounds, to
four firms of East India merchants, who
have been unable to meet their arrange
ments. Much sympathy is felt for the
unfortunate shareholders Of the bank.
Much Of the stock is held by ladies and
gentleman who lived retired on o moderate
competence, and now find themselves re-
duced from circumstance of comfort to
absolute poverty. Seven hundred and
fifty persons employed by the bank. and
its branches, are affected by the failure.
The s.Times," in its financial article this
morning, says the City OF Glasgow Bank
had 1888 branches. 1t has paid progress
sively, increasing the dividend for several
years past, until it reached IL per cent.
1t would be incorrect to say that the dis
aster was unexpected, on the contrary, in
banking circles il created no surprise, for
the bank had been losing credit gradually
for ten years past. Yot the Scotch banks
in London were in possession Of no in
formation which showed that the end was
actually near until Tuesday morning.
Rumors Of the bank being in difficulty had
been SO often circulated before, within
strictly banking circles. that . repetition
Of them did not excite particular interest
on this occasion.
Smith, Fleming 4 Co., East India mer-
chants, Leadenhall street, East Cheapside,
