STILL MYSTERY.
San FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-The mur
DER OF the Chinese merchant, Pun Carp
becomes more of mystery, the more the
| police work on it. No motive for his
taking off can be found to rest with any
member of the firm. Every surrounding
would point to ''inside" work, but the
manner in which the dead mans partners
speak of him and the lack of motive
blocks inquiries IN this direction. The
fIrm has offered a reward of $4,000 for the
detection of the murderer.

THE WRECK OF THE STEAMER.
DRAIN, Or, Nov. 21.-The tug Fear
less, OF Coos bay, Captain James Hill
commanding, ran on to North Spit, at the
mouth of the Umpqua river Tuesday eve-
ming, and soon went to pieces, not one of
the crew or the passengers escaping.
She was on her return trip from Astoria,
where she had to go to take q lot of
Cinnamon, lately discharged from the
canneries on Coos bay. At Bpm Tues
day she was seen off Upper Ten Mile,
steaming slowly down the coast Just out
side the breakers, which were running
very high. and at O'Clock her whistle
was heard off the mouth of the Umpqua.
At a quarter before seven she gaya three
sharp whistles, which was the last seen
or heard of her until the next morning,
when her pilot house with the end stove
in. small boat, the stern, one side of
her hull and numerous small pieces were
discovered coming up the river with the
tde. The steamer Juno at once steamed
down to the mouth of the river and put
a searching party ashore and the beach
was patrolled for miles to the south, but
no bodies were discovered. Other parties
who came down the coast from the north
that they had seen no bodies IN
that direction. The general impression
OF seafaring men Is that she had sprung
leak, and that the captain was attempting
to get into the river in order to save the
lives of those on board, and either mis-
bis position or was blown out
of bis course by the heavy wind prevail
ing at the time. The number lost is said
to be from ten to fifteen souls.
The Fearless was not generally consid-
cred sea-worthy. She was built on Coos
bay about seventeen years ago and was
owned by Simpson & Co.
The following named were among the
lost: James Hill, captain; Walter Keat-
ing and Heney Grow, engineers; two
deck hands, George Marshall, a cannery-
man.
