The coroner.s Inquest.

| Coroner J. Frank Clark held an inquest
yesterday afternoon on the remains of Jos
Powers. the man who was shot By John
| Lowell at the Fiye-mile House at P. NJ
/ Wednesday, The inquest was held al
Brighton, at the late residence of the de-
| ceased, the following gentlemen
acting as Jurors P. Beckendorf, T. Rem
| wick, b. NJ. Loveiov, F. w Ogden, G. W.
| Russell, Frank Smith, Ed. Dunen, A. L.
Warren, f. L. Warren. J. F. Ellis, E. r.
Bostwick and w. c.. Granger. A post
mortem examination was previously held
| by Doctors White Manloye and Snider.
| Their report in substance was as follows
| The shot entered the body at the right
| shoulder and breast, making q wound four
and one-half inches long by two and one
half inches wide, extending from the
shoulder forward below the collar-bone.
The head of the humerus or arm bone.
was shattered, and the second, third and
fourth ribs broken near the middle Sew
eral shot penetrated the chest and entered
the right lung, and the wound was neces-
sarily fatal.
From the evidence given, It was ascer-
tanned that deceased was g native Of Ire
land, 80 years of aSe, married. had one
Brighton for upwards of twenty years. was
universally respected, and enjoyed the rep
utation Of being an honest, quiet and peace
able citizen. The testimony given by Roo
ney, McMorry, White and other eye-wit-
nesses to the tragedy, was the same as that
given in the REcoRD-UNIoN on Thursday
morning, they all having been interviewed
on the night Of the shooting by reporter
OF this paper. There was no evidence to
corroborate in any manner the statements
made by Lowell since his incarceration.
that Powers was following him with an mp
lifted cobble-stone, and that the shooting
was done in self-defense. Lowell Yesterday
morning said he desired to attend the in
quest, but later in the day declined to do
so. 1t is just US well that he did not go. for
the Sheriff would perhaps have found it
difficult to protect his prisoner from the
fury o. the large number assembled. all of
whom fearlessly denounced the act as
cowardly and cold-blooded murder. All of
the testimony was geographically re-
ported by Win. J. Davis, the official Court
reporter. The jury brought in a verdict
that the deceased came to his death from
the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by
John Lowell on the evening of September

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoY 1t is pleasure to
me to see the impetus which at present the
press of cur State and the valuable columns
of your paper in particular, are giving to
silk culture, the hobby of my lifelong
work. But would most respectfully say
that little caution is necessary before any
item is given to the public no matter from
what source. for there is great danger that
in the end the industry itself may suffer.
Sacramento is well adapted for the silk
industry, and in order to enlighten the
public and bring new life into the work in
behalf of silk culture, offer to deliver a
series of lectures pertaining to said
subject under the auspices of the
Directors Of the California Museum Asso-
citation, for the benefit of the School Of Art,
at such time and place as said Directors
may decide upon. Hoping that the above
will find place in the valuable columns of
your paper l remain, most respectfully.
yours, JOSEPH NEUMANN,
10 Ninth street, San Francisco.

sHEEREsr NossEssK.-The Dixon Tribune

SHEEREsT NoNsENsE.-The Dixon Tribune
of this week says:
We observe that some of our exchanges
complain that Sacramento charged two or
three prices for things during the State
Fair, and that people are firing of the i'm
position. This is the sheerest nonsense.
The writer paid seven dollars per week for
very nice suite of rooms in central loca-
ton. Hotels and restaurants charged the
usual price for meals. Street-car fare was
five cents, hack fare to the park twenty
five cents. As these items include all the
necessary expenses Of visitor to the State
Fair, there does not appear to be any
reasonable ground for complaint There
are some people, however, who want the
whole world for 81 per day
