| CHINESE MILLIONAIRE
The Pagan Owner of Peruvian

The Pagan Owner of Peruvian
Plantations Returns to China.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The Steamer Parthia, which sailed re.
Gently for the Orient, carried among her
cabin passengers distinguished Celestial
The passenger, although wearing the cue
according to Chinese custom, had dis
carded the usual costume of his country
men, and was attired in neat tttirg suit
of black broadcloth. high standing
collar of the latest fashion encircled his
neck, and unlike other Chinese, he wore a
tight fitting pair of CATERS.
Just before the Parthia departed he
paced the deck of the steamer with the
air of nabob. The voyager is regis
tered on the passenger list as Chun Lee,
Peru, bound for Hong Kong. He is said
to be worth, in coin and other property,
over 100000. This fortune he amassed
in Peru, in which country he has resided
for thirteen years, having arrived there in
1875.
When he left this city he had but $500.
This amount he placed to advantage in
plantation. He made money rapidly, and
gradually increased his acreage until ne
now has large tracts in different parts
of the country. He decided several
months ago to visit his native country,
and leaving his property in the hands
of his managers, he left for Pan
anna, at which place he took the steamer
for this city. He arrived here about two
months ago, and during his stay has
made things exceedingly lively for his
friends. Swell banquets and dinners on
the Chinese plan we're numerous, all given
at the expense of Chun. His friends
also enjoyed carriage rides and trips to
the suburban cities through the pagan
millionaire's liberality.
He made things fairly hum during his
short stay, and his friends reciprocated by
giving a grand farewell dinner to the
distinguished visitor. The dinner was
had at the residence of leading Chinese
merchant, and the tables groaned with
all the luxuries that the Chinese restau-
rants afford.
A number of the Chinese merchants
were at the Oceanic wharf yesterday
morning to see Chun off. He shook them
all warmly by the hand and babe them
good bye, after which he boarded the
steamer, where he was seen by an Ex-
aminer reporter.
He talks but little English, and his re-
marks are almost unintelligible. He re
fused to say anything regarding himself
or his business interests in Peru. He
stated that he was going to make COM
plete tour of the Flowery Kingdom. When
asked if he was going to travel alone, he
smiled slightly and pointed to mite of
a Chinese wo nan, and remarked that the
female was his wife. He married her in
this city previous to going to Peru. The
pair expect to be gone about four

A party of ladies, composed of Mrs. F.
Melville, Mana Pettis, Mat tie Harvey and
Lille Lane, left Sealy Wednesday after
noon for. San Felipe to take a boat sail
and bath in the Brazos river, which
terminated in a very sad affair. While
bathing Miss Lille Lane got beyond her
depth. Miss Harvey went to her assist
ance, but being overpowered by the strong
current was sinking fast, when Mrs. Mel
vile plunged into the river to rescue
them, but was unable to save them from
a watery grave and only saved her own
life through the bravery of Miss Pettis,
who took the boat and went to her assist
ance, bringing her to the shore in a
critical condition. The body of Miss
Harvey has been recovered and the citi-

There was quite an exciting time at the
Grand Central depot last night as the
Galveston train arrived. Deputy Sheriffs
JEFF Tiernan and Jerry Jordan arrived
with Mr.. W. B. Lawless, who was adjuged
insane in Galveston, he having lost his
mind about financial matters. AS they
started with him to get on the Central
train, which was to take him to Terrell, he
protested and called on the crowd to help
him, as he was not crazy and would
rather die than go to the asylum. All
persuasion proved to be fruitless and he
would not move until the leather cuffs
were placed on his wrists. 1t is thought
by many of those who know him well that
his insanity is only of short duration. he
imagines that large sum of money has
been left him and some one is trying to
swindJe him out of it. Mr.. Lawless is
well known IN Houston, and has held
several positions of Houston Post.

Tuesday night at an early hour Hiram
Garrison, a gauger of whisky, stationed at
the distillery owned by John Lava,
twelve miles north of Mount Vernon, was
shot and instantly killed by said Laws.
On several occasions after the whisky
was gagged, the revenue paid, and the
liquor ready to be taken out, it would be
short of gallon or two, which caused
Laws to become very angry with Carl
son, he being the only person that could
have taken the whisky. Garrison was re-
quested By Laws not to take any more
without his consent. Tuesday evening,
between SUI down and dark Laws, discoV'
ering Garrison in the warehouse, got his
gun and took stand for him, and as he
came out shot him down. There were no
eye witnesses to the killing, and two bot
ties of whisky were found near the body
of Garrison. Laws is under arrest.
