Burning out the Chinese.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Lon Sunday even
ing the Chinese quarter Of the town of Anti
och, near the mouth of the San Joaquin river
was burned. There is no doubt but the white
citizens were instigated by the fact that num-
Der OF white boys were discovered to be victims
OF their own indscretion in visiting lewd dens
in that portion of the town. The Chinese had
been previously warned to leave town on the
first knowledge of the fact on Saturday last,
and most of them obeyed the order. Those
who remained till the FIRE broke out fled unmo
Tested. All the houses were buried except two
which were removed this morning. No per.
sonal violence was offered the Chinese, though
the excitement was great, and a large crowd
gathered to witness the destruction of the hab-
itations

A Mystery Explained,

BANGOR, June 80. About two weeks
ago Frank Cowan, a young sailor, return
ed to this city from voyage, and found
his wife enclente. She confessed to him
that Joseph w. Curtis, man 6S years
old, residing on Larkin street, was her
paramount, and on Tuesday afternoon,
June 20, Cowan called on Curtis, where
he was at work, charged him with the
crime and finished by Informing him that
he would in some way obtain satisfaction.
Curtis at o'clock went home, where he
lived alone, and from that time till last
Tuesday was not seen or heard from
The supper table and everything re-
manned, with food rapidly moulding,
while canary bird, which Curtis loved
dearly, was starving. Facts have come
out today which show that Curtis was
called up on Tuesday night, the goth, at
midnight, by two men. who took him
from his bed. placed him in a carriage
and drove into the town of Monroe, about
fifteen miles distant. There they took
him out of the carriage and began the
fearful attempt Of kicking him to death
After kicking him in his breast and other
wise terribly injuring him, they left him
for dead. He recovered sufficiently to get
to the road, however, and obtained a ride
to Searsport, where he went to his sisters
house and is now there, dying. lie re-
tanned consciousness sufficiently long to
tell the above, but is now deliri Gus and
cries piteously, "For Gods sake, don't
kick ME any more" His death is hourly
expected. Who the murderers are is "a
mystery. Suspicion points strongly to
Cowan, but there is no proof. 1t is the
most cruel affair known in this vicinity
for years.
