A WOMAN KILLED.
Fata! Result of a Quarrel Between
Husband and Wife,
i«To "Witnesses to the Aftiilr— Story of the
Husband, Au<?nste Forgous—
Result of Drink.
The usual quiet of the Sabbath was
broken last evening by a terrible <!■
tic tragedy. About S quarter past five
o'clock persons living in the neighbor
hood "f'lYnih and L" streets w. n startled
by the reports Df several pistol shots and
b woman's screams coming from the
little opttage on T< nth street, between U
ami V. occupied by a Frenchman named
Augusle Pocgonfl and his Wife,
I§ieneighbors soon collected in from,
af the house, and some of them attempts
to enter, but they found the dToors fast
ened. Forgone soon presented himself
and warned the crowd not to enter tlie
place on peril of being shot*
A yoang man was dispatched for an
officer, und he met policeman Lowell at
Tenth ,'nd M streets and related whal bad
occarye<L Tv officer entered the young
man's \ chide and arrived at the scene of
trouble iii a irn minutes.
Persons in the crowd that had gathered
advised Lowell not to try to get into the
bouse, as Porgous was in a state of great
excitement and would kill him. The
officer, however,went t<> the side door
and knocked, and as soon as Forgous ap
peared Lowell grabbed Mm and pulled
him outside.
Leaving bis prisoner in tiie hands of a
Stout young man on the sidewalk, the
officer re-entered the house. It was then
getting quite dark, and he struck a light.
Thi- revealed the body of a woman tying
on the floor in the kitchen, and close by
her a pistol. The officer and some Of thfi
neighbors attempted to raise the woman
an ' found thai it was the wife of Forgous.
She was dead, rjut siill warm.
Lowell secured the pisi.il and took For
gons down to Hi; police station, and also
Botiri: .1 (dron.i (.. H.Clark, who went
out and took charge of thi body.

Tiio prisoner was laboring trader great
excitement when brought to the jail, and
he spoke English so imperfectly thai no
here could understand him. Kii>:i:|>
J. T. Barron was sent for to act as inter

Lin Lee'soniee. There were present.
'■ ■ d< Captain Lee, officers Lowell and

Buckley and City Attorney EL C. Hart.
Forgous, whose condition indicated
thai he had been drinking, was told that
he might make a voluntary statement if
he desired to. He inquired as to the con
dition of his wife, and when told that she
was dead, he burst into tears and cried,
"Oh, Marie! Marie!" Finally he made a
statement through the interpreter sub
stantially as follows:
"My wife works for Mr. LeMay, the
French baker. She went there fco»day

BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
Renewal of the Proposition for An
other State Body,
The Betlxtßg Members of the Old
Board Say Its Business "Was
Far Too Great.
\
j, In the recently-published report of the
; State Hoard of Examiners to the Legi&la
i tare, the recommendation is renewed for
the ii])j)oini]aent of a special board or
<-onmiission to relieve the Governor, Sec
retary of State and Attorney-General of
\ the duties tJiat now devolve uj>o>i those
> oilicinl.s in their ex-olncio capacity as ex
aminers and auditors of claims, etc. The
report says:
"The business required of this board has,
during the past two years, been attended
to afl well as the circumstances would
allow. The record Bbowsanincrease in
■ accounts examined and audited of over
| fifty per cent, over and above that of the
preceding years, and we are conscious
that much remains undone that should
j have been attended to. The different
boards, commissions, asylums, prisons,
and other institutions receiving support
from the State are creatures of the state,
I and are apart of the state; yet, little by
; litlle, within the past yours, they have
gradually withdrawn themselves from
i any control the Executive may have be
fore exercised over them. W© do not be
lieve that all interest and responsibility
lof the Chief Executive in the manage
ment of the different Btate institutions
ceases upon the appointment of the trus
tees, directors, ox officers; but we believe
that the Governor should be informed, at
times, of the condition of every depart
ment of state government,and that it
was the intention of the framersof our
Political ("ode that the Board of Exami-
J ners should exercise tins supervisory care
over all the dillent departments.
"This plan may have been effectual
while the State was in its infancy, but the
I large growth in her population during
the past fifteen years, and the increase of
| interest within the State, lias led to Ihe
■ multiplication Of boards, commissions
! and bureaus, and to the consequent in
crease of business coming before the
Board of Examiners, so that now that
! board is able to be of but, little protection
[ to the state or her interests, and she eer-
I tainly should have some offloeroroffi
oerswho would attend to her business
' interests. The time of the prew i:t as
' officio Board of Examiners is wholly
consumed by the business coming before
| the several departments of the members,
' who can only afford to devote a few min
i utes to the examination of claims, where
j hours should be expended.
'"This department is the most import
ant in the State government, and should
not be neglected, and we advise the crea
tion of a State Board of Examiners,
whose sole duty it shall be to audit all
claims against the State, and to inaugu
rate a thorough business system through
out all the departments of State govern
ment, and compel its introduction, and
to personally investigate all expenditures
of the State's money, for' Whatever pur
pose appropriated.
"Such a Board would till the hiatus be
tween the Legislature which appropriates
and the institutions which spend the
money. It would exercise such a control
■ over the expenditures made by the insti
i unions as to prevent extravagance and
| bring the cost of State government down
Ito the minimum, it would be advisory
land supervisoryaa far as expenditures
were concerned, and would be of great
benefit to the State and to her creditors,
| who, under the present system, are often
i compelled to watt mouths for money that
should have been paid upon demand.
"If such a board should be created by
your honorable bodli s, ii should take the
place of the present Board of Examiners.
11 should also be authorised to act as an
Advisory Boaxd to all the departments of
State government: and no extraordii ary
i expenditure should be made unless it re
ceives the sanction of the Board. It
should approve all plans an 3 contracts,
and should exercise control over the dif
ferent orphan asylums, homes of aged
indigents, and county hospitals receiving
State aid. and should be empowered to
compel the introduction of such a busi
! ness system as in their judgment may be
; best adapted to the wants of these insti
tutions."

Trusti ea Wolf and McLaughlin seem to
{think that-another pump is needed by the
city, but Mayor"Comstock says hecon
-iders the ur«snnl pis a 1 good enough, for

"1 don't think we are so badly off for

cost ■ great deal OX money, and I don't
bi liove <nir present Water Works are !n

river bank, above the mouth of the
American. We will not have so much
mud and sand if we do this, and the addi

Sacramento's Commercial Importance.
The Boston Doily Adeert&er, one of
the leading commercial papers of the
I Union, in its trade review publishes co
j pious extracts from tho report recently
made to the Sacramento Board of Trade.
;by President I. K. Platt, for the year
1890, as published in tho Reuobd-Union.
This fad shows that the commercial
I centers of the East are wideawake to the
industrial progress of California, and that
I inev regard Sacramento as a place of no
I little importance In the commercial
! world.

: be a novel sight.
A New Breed of Hogs.

i eality?
