SAN Francisco, December 81.
The condition of the woman Grossly,
who was shot by her husband on Howard
street last night, is somewhat improved
this afternoon, and there is a chance that
she may recover. The ball which entered
her head has not yet been extracted, and
its course cannot be ascertained. 1t now
appears that Grossly and his wife had not
been living together for a year and a half,
she having refused to live with him any
longer, owing to his habit Of intemperance
and his cruelty to her. Last evening he
again urged her to live with him. and 1T
was on her refusal to do so that he became
exasperated and attempted her life. Mrs.
Grossly this morning made a statement,
under oath, of the facts Of the case before
Deputy Coroner Hamilton, which will be
submitted at the inquest in case Of her
death.
The alarm of fire to-day was caused
by an explosion in the Chinese match fac
tory, at the corner of Fourteenth and Shot
well streets. A large pan of phosphorus,
sulphur, and other combustibles exploded,
and seriously burned three Cinnamon.
The liquid fire flew in all directions, and
| lighting ON the clothing of the unfortunate
workmen cnveloped them in flame. 1t
| took but a few minutes to ~extinguish the
fire. By the time the burning men had
been rescued, two OF them were danger
ously, and one fatally burned. The dam
age was otherwise trifiing.

night from Siskiyou county, charged with

Owing to the depreciation in real estate
values, during the the past year, the estate
Of James Lick, though practically clear OF
debt, is not in a condition to enable the
trustees to carry out the intention Of the
deed of trust. A year ago, whom the COM
promise WAS effected, and everything
pointed to the speedy adjustment Of all the
complications, the Academy Of Music
alone and unexpectedly held out, and its
opposition has from that day to this pre-
vented the trustees from doing anything
more than to care for the property and
keep it in good condition. They represent
that as the result Of this obstinacy on the
part of the Academy, the property on Post
street, which a year ago, would have
brought SITS, 900, will not sell now for
more than S125, 900, and that the Licl
House property will not bring more thar
$500, 00G, when half a million more could
have been obtained for it when the Acad
envy commenced the fight. The balance OF
the estate has suffered a corresponding
shrinkage. The estate owes about $3.50, COZ
to John Lick and other heirs, which it cal
pay almost on demand, and this is the onl,
claim against it. The Academy of Scienc,
was defeated a year ago in the Nineteenth
District Court, and took an appeal t,
the Supreme Court, which is now at thu
head of the calendar, and viii probably b
called in a few days. II the Suprem'
Court decides favorably the trustees vii
make preparations to carry out the require
ments OF the deed Of trust, but they are in
clined to the belief that little can be don
until the property value increases.
