Special to THE MORNING CALF.

SAN DIEGO, March 5.-The story of hor-
rible crime comes from San Quintin, Lower
California, which rates among the horrors
of Nero's time. On Sunday last Jose Muir,
a half-breed. made an attempt on the lie
of Filepe Sanchez, who was lying asleep on
the sidewalk in front of a saloon. Muir
came along about half drunk and tried to
awaken the sleeping man. Failing to do so
he opened the shirt of Sanchez, and, draw
ing his knife, made a motion to disembowel
him. He feared the job could not be done
with a dull knife, for after feeling the edge
of the blade. he stepped inside the saloon and
sharpened it quite deliberately on stone,
trying it occasionally on his dampened
fingers and then smiling at the bystanders,
who thought him jesting.
He finally secured the proper edge, and
kneeling by the side of Sanchez plunged the
blade in the sleeping mans abdomen, par
TALLY withdrew il, ran it over against the
hip bone ana turned the knife and forced it
upward as far as the ribs would allow IL to
go. Muir then pulled the shirt back over
the horrible gap, Strengthened up and smil-
iugly nodded to the persons around him.
He licked the blood from the blade on one
side and placed the knife back in the scab-
bard by his side.
He was seized by those who witnessed the
crime and placed in custody. Sanchez was
alive at last accounts. Referring to his
crime Muir says he was good friend OF
Sanchez, but wanted to try his new knife"
He is now in Jail at Ensenada.

SALVADOR'S PRESIDENT.
The Election Of General Carlos Ezata
Ratified by Congress.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Herald's San
Salvador dispatch says; The National Con-
gress which has been in session since
February 1st has just ratified the
returns of the Presidential elections.
and has ratified the election for four
years of General Carlos Ezeta as President
of Salvador, with General Antonio Ezeta, his
brother. as e-President of the republic.
This choice was ratified by reclamation in
Congress, and great enthusiasm PREVAILED
throughout the capital as soon as the result
was made public.
AS soon as Congress adjourns President
Ezeta's Inauguration will take place. In
conversation with the President he said
that he was thankful to the people of Sal
vador for the confidence they had rep0sed
in him in electlng him their Constitutional
President
Replying to my question as to the views
he held regarding Guatemaia's relations to-
ward Salvador, President Ezeta said:
II cannot give you any positive infOrma-
ton as to Guatemala's bearing toward Sal
vador, but from all external appear
ance, our sister republics = Honduras
and Guatemala seem to be very
friendly toward my country. The re-
cent frustrated revolution in Honduras
has not ben without good effect on the
Government If President Bogran. The
origin of the attempt to overthrow the lat
ter by General Sanchez was attributed by
many people to Honduras wanton attack
on this country, and it is now said that the
Government will be very chary in enter
ing into another war before she fully weighs
the pc ssible or probable results of such an
affair "

PARNELL'S FOLLOWERS.

A Letter Practically accommodating Them
From the Church.
BELFAST, March 5.-Right Rev. William
Reeves Bishop of the united dioceses OF
Down and Conner and Dromore, who issued
letter amounting practically to the excom-
municaton of those Catholics who support
Parnell, and which letter caused consider
able excitement in this city and elsewhere,
says in that epistle: "Those men who are
supporting Pdrnell have become propaga-
tors of public scandal. and by their own
acts have placed themselves in company
with those to whom it is unlawful for priests
to administer the sacrament"
LONDON, March 5.-Parnelps appearance
at Clerkenwell last night was not a success.
The opinion among the rank and file Of the
Irish party here is strongly against him on
account of the course he has taken. His at
tempt 10 face that hostility and secure
footing again in London was abortive. The
mention of Gladstone's or McCarthy's name
by Parnell during the speech evoked cheers
which drowned his voice. One time it
looked as If he would be unable to proceed
in the tempest of cheers and Kisses, counter
cheers aud gruans. The morning papers
say it is evident that Parnell has lost his
hold in London, and rdicule his attempt
last night to repeat here the tactics be EN-
ployed in Ireland.

CUT HIS THROAT.
In Insane BTiGk-Layer Ends Els Life in
a MaTySTiIle Barn.

EVANSVILLE. March 5.-The announce
ment Of the suicide of an unknown man in
P. Kelly livery and feed stable. near the
corner of Fifth and streets, caused much
excitement to-day. Just north Of the stable
is the building used for storing hay and bar
ley. AT half-past y o'clock T. J. Kelly,
son of tie proprietor, went through the
building carrying sack Of barley, In the
northwest corner, lying on some hay, he saw
a man partly covered with a blanket and
the upper part Of his body very bloody.
Coroner Bevan was at Gree notified, who
made an examination aud found the man
dead. By his side lay razor and pocket
knife covered with blood. In a sack lying
near was a set of brck-layeT's tools, several
bars of soap, part of a leaf of bread and a
memorandum book devoid of writing. In the
mans vest was an Open-laced silver watch.
An examination OF the mans wounds showed
his throat had been cut from ear to ear, and
that bis body was otherwise horribly cut
and mutila'ed. The body was removed to
the COTOner'S Office, where it was washed,
and scores of men viewed it, but no one
knew the mans name. He had been around
town for some time, and a week ago was
granted permission to sleep in the barn. He
was nearly always talking TO himself in a
rapid distracted way, and is thought to have
been crazy. A card was found in a pocket
bearing the name of Mr.. Siebrr of Wood
land. Coroner Bevan telegraphed to Sieber
to ascertain If he knew the man, and the
answer was that his anne was J. McNulty
a brick-layer. He was known about here as
Stamping Jack. An inquest will lie held

LURED TO DEATH.
The San Reno Mystery Solved by The Capture

The San Reno Mystery Solved by the Capture
Of Two Assassins.
MONACO, March "a man and woman
have been arrested here and charged with
the murder OF physi- ian named Linder-
mann Of Manchester, whose body was found
at the time in q rayine near San Reno. At
first it was thought to be a case OF suicide,
but an investigation brought out the fact
that it was murder. Ii now appears that
the police allowed the suicide or accident
theory to get abroad in order To better en-
able them 20 follow out the real theDry-that
of murder. 1t was thought likely the muir
authorities of San Reno had arrived at the
conclusion of the English physicians that
death was caused by accident or suicide,
would relax their vigilance and thus fall
more readily into the hands OF justice.
From the moment the doctors body was
found the authorities of San Reno never
ceased their Investigations and gradually
wove net of evidence around the suspected
ones which yesterday resulted in the arrest
here Of a man and woman, who are charged
with the crime. The woman, lt appears,
lured the doctor to the lodgings she occupied
at San Reno. Ii is concluded that the doc
tor, when in the woman's apartments, was
drugged, murdered and robbed by the wO-
man, assisted by n man, who Is supposed to
be her lover. and who was taken into custody
with her. The arrests have caused much
connection here. 1t Is rumOred the man and
woman may have other and similar crimes
charged against them and that the woman
may have been used 10 lure other men to
their doom.

Tha lenutvshins Abolished.


NAPA, March 5.-For some time past the
Board Of Supervisors of this county has
allowed the Sheriff, Clerk and Recorder each
$50 per month for deputy hire, but to-day
they voted to abolish the deputyships in the
first two named offices and let the officers do
their own work. The Sheriff ana Clerk are
both better paid than the Recorder, while
his work is all that two persons can perform
if they work faithfully. The off es of Re-
cOrder and Auditor are combined. and that
official receives $500 rs Recorder and $500
as Auditor The work OF the two offices
compels him TO keep one deputy all the
time and some help besides. Ali this be
pays for out OF his salary.
The Supervisors say they were led to take
this action on account Of n demand for
economy made by their farmer constituents.
Citizens cOnYersant with the work of the
Offices feel that the small allowance made in
all of these cases should have been con-
tinued.
