increasing Demand for the Serial-The
First Twelve Ready.

A few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War;" whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series of
twenty-six numbers at eight cents per
part. Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become matter
of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate. aud written by the foremost his
torians of late years. 1t is very freely
illustrated, and a detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECoRD-UNIoN might have sold these
parts at figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped rich
profit on the sales, but it entered into
the matter solely for the benefit of its
subscribers, and is offering each part at
exact cost-eight cents.
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased at
the office.

A PARDON AND A CONTINUATION.
Governor Markham Exercises Exec
utiye CIemency
Breitenstein Would Have Been Ac-
quilted if the Jury Had
Known the Facts.

Governor Markham has pardoned
Jacob Breitenstein, who was sentenced
by the Superior Court of San Francisco
County Jail for assault with de eadly
weapon upon his wife.
II appears that be was married through
a matrimonial advertisement and was
unfortunate i'll his marriage Ten of the
jury who convicted him have earnestly
asked for his pardon, stating that'if they
had known all the true facts at the time,
they would have acquitted him. They
unhesitatingly say that the prosecution
was malicious one, led by the prose-
cutting witness and others. Many promi-
nent citizens o. Napa County also ask for
the pardon and certify to his good char
acter pre- yious to the act
f.. p. M'oURDY COMMITTED.
He has also commuted the sentence of
Elisha p. McCurdy. who was sentenced
in July, 1886, by the Superior Court of
Lake County to Imprisonment for life for
murder in the first degeee to imprison-
ment for thirteen years. This will free
him on October 9th.
The State Board of Prison Directors
unanimously recommended 1t for the
reasons that in the evidence there was
much contradictory testimony, but after
careful consideration of it and of evil
dence not adduced at the trial and the
letter of the trial judge, Hon. r. j..
Hudson, and those OF others submitted to
the board it believes there was strong
doubt as to his guilt His character be-
fore the homicide was that of quiet,
peaceable, industrious and law-abiding
citizen.
Judge Hudson says in mis- letter: ''If it
were in my power [ would think it my
against you was conclusiyely proven un-
worthy of belief by several responsible
persons. L hope soon to hear Of your
release"
