LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
WOMAN DROWNED. - About $50 last
night VIM. Miller, who sleeps upon one of
the fish market barges at the foot of I,
street, heard a woman's scream and the
sound OF splash in the water at the stern
OF the barge. He ran to see what the
trouble was and observed a hand just dis
appearing in the river Quickly lowering
himself upon a line, he endeavored to
catch the person in the water whom he
found TO be woman but, though he
made every effort and got well wet in do
ing So she drifted beneath the market
barge lying just astern. He called to A D..
w. Sherman who was sleeping on the
barge with him, telling him there was
woman overheard, and Sherman Jumped
INTO boat and went to the stern of the
second barge, where he caught the woman
as she reappeared and endeavored to pull
her INTO the boat. As she was large
and heavy, he was unsuccessful though
IN his endeayor the boat half filled with
water. They drifted down to the San
Joaquin steamer landing, where he sue
ceeded in getting her into the boat. She
gasped once or twice, but showed no other
sign of life. AS soon as possible she was
taken ashore, and efforts made to resusci-
tate her. but without avail. She was iden-
tlhed as Mrs Lawson, n woman who fire.
quently has been before the Police Court
Tor drinking and disturbing the peace, but
not latterly. The body was conveyed to
the Coroner's, and Justice Post will hold
an inquest to-day, in the absence of Coro-
ner Clark. A man who happened to be
beneath the wharf near where the barges
are moored states that while he was there
he heard a man and woman walking bv,
talking excitedly and quarreling. Soon
afterwards there was a scream and splash
and he feels positive Mrs. Lawson was
thrown INTO the river. On the other hand
neither Miller nor Sherman saw a man
near the barges, and Miller thinks he would
have seen any one who was there as he
turned out very quickly. 1t seems scarcely
probable that man contemplating muir
der by drowning would go upon one of the
fish markets to cOmmitit, when there were
other places to which his victim could be
enticed with less danger to himself, and it
IS more likely that Mrs. Lawson had been
drinking, went on board the barge alone,
without any definite object, and fell into
the stream.
