A COWARDLY MURDER
Young Drug Clerk Horribly
MutiIated.
ROBBERY THE PROBABLE MOTIVE
steamer HIOntserrat Probably Lost Dur
ing the Recent StOrm--AIurderers
of Miss Cling Indicted.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 14.-At l o clock
this morning, Policeman O'Day found
wide open the door of the St. Nicholas
drug store, corner Hayes, Larkin and
Market streets. He investigated, and
within found Eugene Weir, night drug
clerk, lying dead at the foot of steep
and narrow stairway. The cash drawer
was found open with only 10 cents left.
An examination of the body showed that
it was a case of murder of the most
atrocious kind. In the left breast and
side were found % stab wounds evidently
made by sharp blade about an inch
wide The knife had been driven in
with a great force. The murder was evil
IDENTIFY done for the purpose of robbery.
The murderer had slipped in behind the
prescription counter, where he was Sc
cure from observation from the street,
got behind his victim, stabbed him, and
then threw his body down the steep
stairs into the basement. 1t was the
habit of Weir to count the cash every
day at the close of business, and when
counted it was put in secret drawer be-
meath the counter. This the murdered
man had evidently done before he was
attacked, and the robber failed to find
the place. In default of the right drawer
the robber or robbers had pulled out
and ransacked three or four other
drawers in behind the counter but not
the raeht one. Weir was mere boy.

Budd Again WINS.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 14.-The action
begun by Chairman Cornwall, of the re-
publican state central committee, to
contest the election of James II. Budd
as governor, was thrown out by the
state supreme court this morning.
The court sustained the demurrer en-
tered by counsel for defendants, the
San Francisco board of election commits
sioners, and refused to grant Cornwall's
application for writ of mandate to
compel the election commissioners to
appear and show cause why they should
not throw out and refuse. to count the
returns from 66 precincts in this city, in
which there had been irregularities.
The only alternative now left the repub-
licans is to carry the contest into the
state legislature.
In effect the decision is that the de-
feet in the certificate of the precinct
officers may be supplied at any time be-
fore the vote is canvassed. In this case
the returns had been go amended in all
of the precincts as to conform to the
law, so the supreme court will not in
terfere. The court had no written de-
