CELESTIAL HOMICIDE. - Yesterday
noon Lee King, a Chinaman at Vir-
ginia, was attacked and so badly cut
up by two others of his c%ountrymen,
said to be Chung Chow, and DIR. Hop
Lock, that he died between eight and
nine o'clock last evening. The victim
received one fatal cut in the left side,
nearly six inches in length, letting out
n portion Of his bowels, and nearly
cutting off the lower part of his left
lung !; also a severe wound four or five
inches long above the right knee. He
was taken to the station-houss, where
DR.. Green rendered what surgical as
sistanee there was possible, although 1t
was evidently q hopeless case. This
killing grew out of trouble concerning
the late robbery in the Chinese quarter
ut Virginia, Of which we made mention
q few days ago. 1t Is said that the
jewelry stolen on that occasion be-
longed to the man who was killed
yesterday, and 1t was to the interest
Of certain parties to get him out Of the
way. The Enterprise says 1.-THE vic
tim is spoken of as a good, square
man by the policemen and others who
knew him. He has two brothers here,
who appear to have a strong faction
favorable to him, therefore the chances
are there will be half a dozen more
Cinnamon killed before the trouble is
over. Terribly rs the man was
wounded, he hardly uttered 4 groan
from the time he was wounded until
he died." DIR. Hop Lock was arrested
shortly after the stabbing, and Is now
In jail, but Chung Chow made his es-
cnpe, and up to noon to-day had not
been found, although parties were out
after him all last night, and still con-
tinue the pursuit. They got on the
track of him, and If they have luck
they will probably effect his capture.
The accounts of this affair are very
conflicting, but something definite
may be ascertained relative to IL at
the Coroner's inquest which is to be
held this evening.
CHINESE New YEAR.-To-morrow
commences something particularly
extra In tho way of Chinese New Year.
1t Is the beginning Of another cycle OF
a thousand years, and two weeks will
be devoted to festivity in celebration
Of the passage from the old cycle to the
new. 1t is not to be supposed that all
the Chinese in this section will do
nothing but celebrate during that
period, but all that can afford to do so
will celebrate the occasion to its ut
most extent, rs it will be one thou-
sand years before they can have an
other such an extensive j~olliiication.
For the general convenience Of numer-
Gus citizens, it is to be hoped that the
wood peddlers, washmen, cooks, ETC.,
among the Heather Chimes" are not
all 90 afluent as to quit operations in
their line for those two weeks. Great
stores Of dried shrimps, queer shaPed
fish, suspicious looking sausage, big.
boxes Of fire crackers, and all sorts OF
other comestibles and combustioles are
laid in for this great occasion, n to-
morrow the children Of the sun, moon
and stars turn their festivities loose.
'rbey are bound to enjoy themselves,
sure, and if they succeed In making
Chinatown howl, and night hideous
with Internal gongs and discordant
tom-toms, it Is consoling to know that
IL will be a thousand years before they
will worry Us again that way.
10 THE RINK! To H RrSx!-
This afternoon the Gold. Hill skating
rink, at Liberty Engine Hall, has been
we'll patronized, and this evening there
is sure to be a general tendency Of the
nonulation thither. Everybody goes
TO the rink. 1t costs only two bits to
oct In, and q person gets at least SIX
6its' worth of fun looking on, without
even expanding two bits more to show
vonr own awkwardness on the skates.
The proficiency attained in that re-
snect by some Of our friends is getting
alarming. Several of them can sling
n right Jolly old roller already, n
thew progress in excellence as they
roll. Walking of 80 your ear" IS
nothing to rolling off on your ear, n
some Of the boys can effect that stern
reality to perfection. We notice one
thing particularly conclusive, and that
l. t6at the ladies don't fall half as
often rs the gentlemen. They are pet
tar qualified, more cautious, or IN better
iuck-we don't know which.
