]: OAKLAND.-The official count OF votes
now going on before the Supervisors de-
veloped a slight sensation yesterday when
the vote of Alameda Precinct 3 was
reached. The envelope containing the
tally sheet and poll Of the votes was mis-
sing, and the election officers Of the pre-
ciuct were cited to appear and tell what
they knew about it. Messrs. Russell.
Decker and Husband of the election board
testified that they had complied with all
the Instructions as sent them, and had
duly sealed and sent in the missing tally
list. Mr.. Husband was messenger, and
swore he duly delivered all the packages
to Clerk Furry, and that gentleman swoEs
he" placed them in the vault. There was
quite wrangle between the District At
torney and Attorney AbbotttOr the Democ-
racy upon the admission and counting of
the Precinct hut Supervisor Martin.
for the board overruled Abbotts
objection TO the canvass, and as tue
closing hour had arrived the whole matter
was put over till this morning. The Lay
nance PEOPLE are not going to let this pre-
ciuct in If IL is possible to keep it out, as
its admission will have a material bearing
on the close run between Laymance aDd
Sanford for the traasuryShp. The vote:
for Treasurer in the precinct was: Burpee u;
Chase II. Herrscher As, Laymance Al. Sanford

ton.

a Young Wife's Suicide.
May A. Behrmann, the young wife of Henry
Behrmann, proprietor OF the BerE eley Market
al FOrty-ninth street aud Telegraph avenue
deliberately killed herself yesterday evening in
her bedroom, which is directly above her bus
bands shop. She gave no intimation of her
deadly purpose and left nothing TO explain her
deed. If her husband knows he will not tell.
She may have killed herself while temporarily
insane, but the deed was perpetrated coolly
and deliberately, and il there was any WeighIy
reason why her young life so suddenly became
unbearable &c probably will never be
known. From the story OF her husband
it appears that Mrs. Behrmann complained
OF being i'll yesterday morning, and Instead
of arising at her usual time remained in bed.
Mr.. Bebrmann reused her some time between
and O'clock and asked if she felt able TO get
MP. She replied In the negative and lie re-
turned TO his shop o attend TO his customers.
She was very fond of males and Behrmann
sent boy into OAK land for four of them. The
lad returned at z O'Clock and fifteen minutes
later Behrmann went up 10 his wife's room.
BY the light of lamp on a small table beside
the bed the hush nd noted the paor of his
Wfe's cheeks and inSflnctlvely lie felt that she
was dead The bed clothing was drawn up and

quietly disengaged II, and noticed that one
chamber was empty. The leaden messenger
OF death bad penetrated her heart. aud death
must have been instantaneous. The features
indicated no pain but b tOksned rather the
r. pose of sleep. Behrmann called in several
neighbors, but it was au hour or more before
anybody thought TO call in the Coroner.
She was married 10 Behrmann hardly two
years ago. Their domestic life does not seem
to have been ideal, but so far as Coroner Evers
could learn they had never had any serious
quarrels. The husband is only % years of age
and is deeply grieved at his wfes death. He
claims not to know positively why she COM
mltted suicide. but he thinks that she was tenn
porarly insane. II said: II do not knowwhy
she shot herself She was of a very peculiar
dispositions; was very sensitive and would
brood for days over anything that offended
her. Usually she was very bright, and then
again she was very dull, and her mind was
