van has killed his father-in-law. j. w. Cor

family feud.
Two weeks ago Corrick went to the mine
near Temperance Flats with E. Rowe and
began work. This mine has been the
source of much trouble in the Corrick
family for the past three years. Henry
Sullivan, son-in-law of Corrick, had a
claim on it, and they quarreled every time
either attempted to work it. One time
Sullivan tried to drive Corrick off with a
pick-handle, but Corrick had a shotgun at
hand and took couple of shots at him.
1t was while on the way to work this
mine that Young Corrick and his cousin
Hart got into an alteration over a bride
four months ago and Hart was killed by
Young Corrick. Ever since Corrick and
Rowe arrived at the mine Sullivan, who
lived near by, has threatened to kill
Corrick on sight, and has gone
armed with a Henry rifle continuously.
This morning Rowe left the mine on some
errand. leaving Corrick working the arastra.
A short distance away he saw Sullivan, rife
in hand, and before he had gone quarter
of mile he heard the report of the gun

DROPPED DEAD.
Edward Murray's Sudden End In sacra-
mento.

Edward Murray's Sudden End In sacra-
mento.
Edward Murray, who had resided in Sac
ramento many years, and who is quite we'll
known in this section of the State, dropped
dead in downtown resort about o'clock
this morning On yesterday he complained
of a choking sensation, the symptoms being
that he had pneumonia. When advised to
go TO bed, he declined, stating that he would
soon be better. He returned shortly after
II o'clock last night and when he arose this
morning proceed ed up X street. At Fourth
street he reeled and nearly fell, and, going
into 4 saloon, asked for a drink of water.
The bar-keeper complied with the request,
and Murray was reaching for the glass
when he fell TO the floor, gasping for
breath. A physician was hastily summoned,
but Murray was beyond all earthly aid and
expired in a very few minutes. The re-
mains were conveyed TO the Morgue.
The time was-and not SO many years
ago-when Ed Murray was one of the best
looking, best-dressed and most popular
young men of Sacramento. He came to this
city early IN the. sixties, and for some time
was in the employ of c. II. Gilman, when
the latter had store on j street, between
Second and Third. Afterward. having re-
ceiyed an education as civil engineer, he
assisted in surveying the lines for several
of the prominent railroads in this section
and also took contracts for constructing
IeYees on the Islands OF the lower Sacra-
mento. Then he entered into partnership
with Charles Watt in the sheep and cattle
business. All Of his enterprises prospered
and everything he touched turned to gold.
He made his headquarters at one of the
leading hotels aud was lavish in his ex-
penditures. He took great interest in
politics, and his influence was sought by
candidates for Office. He was ga hail fellow
well met" and was always, during his
better days, accompanied by a coterie of
congenial spirits. In an especially evil
hour, some time in the '70's, he was induced
to go into the speculation of buying mining
stocks. His downfall dated from that mo-
ment. Within two DAYS he lost So, 600 and
in a short time his entire fortune of from
$4,000 to 100000 was swept away. Then
he lost heart, drank heavily and disease
fastened upon him. In time be became not
only financial, but physical and mental
wreck. A very few of his old friends stood
by him, and when Eugene ]. Gregory was
elected Mayor the position of City Surveyor
was secured for Murray. 1t was hoped that
this would brace him up but he was too far
gone to attend to the duties of the office,
and the Trustees were compelled to remove
him. He has simply existed since that
time, and death was boon. Murray was
native of Canada, and about A years of age
at the time of his death.-Sacramento Bee,

Important Concessions Made by tho SUI
pervisors.
The petition Of the Pacific Coast Eight
hour League that the tire-aarm bell be rung
every week day at o'clock in the morning,
at II o'clock noon, and at o'clock in the
afternoon, as an aid to the league in its
crusade was the principal topic of discus
sion at yesterdays meeting of the Super
visors' Fire Department Committee.
Chief Scannell opposed the request, as it
would disarrange the workings of the de-
partment, and might create delay in re-
spending to fire if an alarm were rung at
the signal hours.
Messrs. Curry and Floyd, representing
the league, urged the committee to report
favorably upon the petition, which it de-
cided to do.
The committee also decided, at the re-
quest OF the league, to report an order de-
claring eight hours legal days work in all
cases where the same is performed under
authority of any law of the State; also that
provision to that effect~be inserted in all
municipal contracts

Cashier Arrested for Embezzlement
and Discharged.
Frank B. Agnew. young man employed
as book-keeper and cashier by the South
British Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany of New Zealand, 412 California street,
was taken in custody yesterday by Detec-
tive Seymour to be detained until charged
with ENLIGHTENMENT.
He was accused by the company of being
short in his accounts to the amount of
$1,000, and his books were exported. Mean
while a private detective kept him under
surveillance. He denied that he was guilty
of embezzling the company's money. but
said that the discrepancy was due to a
faulty system of bookkeeping.

from custody at the request of the insur-
ance company, who stated that his arrest
was all mistake, and that he was not short
in his accounts.
