PORTLAND, Apr. l5.-The wheat market
is dull and unchanged. The Chicago and

san FRANcIsco, April II. - Dennis
Godfrey, an e1pressman, shot Catherine
Bohen, peddler, at the Oakland Ferry
landing. The ball lodged in her dress,
doing no damage. Godfrey, not noticing
the result Of his poor shooting, jumped
into his express wagon, and ran the horse
to Mrs Bohen's house, and found James
Burns abed there. He then attempted
to shoot Burns, who jumped out of bed
and knocked Godfrey down, and took his
pistol away. Burns then procured .
policeman, who on their return found
that Godfrey had cut his throat with
pocket knife. The wound was dressed,
and he will probably live. Jealousy was
the cause of the act.
An Explanation.
Richard Gray, the Assistant Freight
Agent of the Southern Pacific r. R Co.
states that the action of the Atcheson
ard Topeka Co. is due to the refusal of
the Southern Pacific to place freight low
enough to admit the Atcheson road to
place goods in Arizona and Southern
California at less rates then the Southern
Pacific could send them from here. 1t is
thought that the Atcheson road sill not
long refuse California freight.

{EYTwo interesting instances OF cast

npeE 200 a year. He was within IS days
completing the full term for PEN

brought to their knowledge, set the rules
aside and detailed him for 26 days SER

commander OF the French exploring ex
pedition recently destroyed in the Saba.
ra, when she came to apply for her pen
sion, found herself estopped by the dis
covery that she could neither produce
the corpse nor regular acte de ceses
for the simple reason that the Colonel
and all his party had been simultaneous
ly massacred, and possibly eaten. There
being no witnesses and the law requiring
q long period to elapse--fifty years. il
we are rightly informed-ere it presumes
that the missing person is dead, Nine,
Flatters would have to defer drawing
her pension until some date vel! into
the next century, but the Government,
though it does not declare him "officially
dead" has allowed her to draw his pay
until a formal acte de deces is rendered
possible through the capture or conver-
sion Of native who was acqusinted
with the Colonel and assisted" at his
death.

Mr.. b. was preaching out in Hayes

arose and proceeded to make few re-
marks. He rather pompously told how
he had become converted, and then went
on to say that the revival had bis entire
appreciation. and that be was, on the
whole. quite satisfied with the results
accomplished. He hoped his example
would grestly encourage those around
him, and he wished it understood that
should it be needed he was quite ready
to subscribe $500 to prevent the good
cause from failing.
After he had sat down, Hallenbeck.
who appeared 10 be listening with sx-
treme attention, turned quietly to the
and said:
"Is there any other miserable, repen.
tant, purseproud sinner who would like
to say few words before the meeting
proceeds 2"
There was something more than
"smile of peace as the "prominent"
party looked at his watch aud quietly
