as little delay as possible in the landing,
but as the steamer arrived so late the pas
sengers, the light baggage and the four
Hungarian ponies purchased in Sydney
were all that got ashore yesterday. The
menagerie will be landed at daybreak, the
big derrick being used TO swing the ele-
plants ashore.
The Monowai brought 1l3 saloon and 213
steerage passengers, besides so children. OF
the $50 souls on the steamer 203 were en-
plOyes of the circus. The trip was made in
% days. with generally fine weather The
musical employees of Messrs. Sells beguiled
the time veTv agreeably for the passengers.
The stay at Honolulu was limited to seven
hours and the circus people did not go
ashore. Not one Of the animals died on the
voyage.
The circus left this port about six months
ago and went down to spend the summer"
in Australia. Tie season in Melbourne and
Sydney WAS so successful that the New
Zealand trip was abandoned. The only
hitch was caused by the Quarantining of
some of the horses on arrival in Australia,
but the purchasing of horses in the colony
enabled the proprietOTs of the circus to fill
the bill.
Messrs. Ephraim and Louis Sells. the pro-
priet0rs, came up with the show. Peter
Sells, VINO bad remained in this State, went
down TO the wharf to meet his friends. His
fears that the concern would drop money
on the trip, owing In the dullness OF the
colonial trade. proved groundless.
Among tie arrivals by the steamer was

man, and a commissioner from New South

Among the animals on board were the
following: five tigers, 10 kangaroOs,

Hungarian ponies and 80 Australian

A LEPER FOUND.
Revolving Discovery in n Jackson.
Street HOyel.
Unearthed by a Party Of Sightseers-A Chi
nese Woman Dying By Inches
Health Cficers in Fault.

Some months ago s. S. Simon, while MAX
ing tour of Chinatown on business con-
nected with Uncle Sans revenue discOV-
cred case of leprosy and reported it to the
health authorities who took, or pretended
to take the necessary steps for isolating the
sufferer.
Yesterday Charles Favor, an ex-Deputy
United States Marshal, took a party of
sightseers through the Chinese quarters,
and on his rounds came across a woman in
an advanced stage of the loathsOme disease.
The poor creature was slowed away in the
back room of tumbe-dOwn shanty in the
rear of S36 Jackson street. In an adjoining
room is a shop where scraps OF refuse
leather are ground into pulp and then
pressed into imitation sole leather-a ma
teTial that finds its way into all the Chin ese
shoe factories and subsequently into the
retail boot ana shoe stores where Chinese
goods are dealt in. In front Of this tan
merry, If ii can be so called, is the under
wear factory of Quong On. and next door is
cigar factory. both of which are visited
daily by hundreds OF whites and Chinese in
the usual course of business.
An examination of the woman revealed
most revolving sight. Her lower extremi-
ties were devoid of flesh, the bones being
quite bare. One finger had dropped off,
and the rest Of her body upon which any
neSl renamed was covered Win Hlue0uS
blue spots She is young woman, not yet
80 years of age, but is so wasted and in
such a filthy condition that 1t Is difficult TO
realize she is human being.
Favor. shortly after his shocking discOv-
ery, related the fact to Simon, who visited
the poor woman Immediately afterward
and recognized her as the same whom he
had reported TO the health officers months
ago. The recognition was evidently mu-
tual, for he no sooner entered the hOvel
than the unfortunate creature drawled out
with what strength she had, "Me no more
sickee," as though to explain the reason for
her residence there. How she ever man
aged TO get away from the pesthouse. if she
were ever really sent there, Is a mystery
that she could not explain nor Simon un-
derstand.
DThe wOman's name is Ah X i'm, and she is
said to be the wife OF Lee Chung noto-
rious one-eyed highbinder. Before her mar
riage she was an inmate of one of the mis-
sions, aud was known there as Martha
Brown.
Simon notified Dr. Regensburger of the
Board of Health yesterday, but that gen.
tlemen was in no hurry to look the case up,
ard said it would be attended to-day. II
the responsible officers find the woman to-
day the doctors remark may hold good. but
there are not a few chances that the leper
may be spirited away from the Jackson
street hovel TO breed disease in some new
locality.

After all has been said and written to the

head is not yet healed, can discern a dull

Along toward the last the game was a
corker. During the first two hours of the
struggle Frisco had the best of it. but in
the seventh couple of bungles gave the
COlonels tally, making the score TO 7.
From that on until the bitter end the con-
test was one of the prettlest ever seen here.
Three times was the score tied, the tallIes
coming one in bunch. Then in the last
half of the fifteenth. with two men out.

second, Pete Sweeney missed a grounder
from the bat of John j. OBrien. Two runs
came in and the greatest game of the season
ended in the presence of the smallest crowd
of any season. Score IL to 10.
Neither Lester 2. German nor Jack Fan
ming realized the magnitude OF the jobs they
had undertaken until they worked well into
them. But both were in fine form aud
pitched great ball, while their support, con-
siderng the chances offered, couldn't have
been much better. In two innings only did
the COlOnels fail to swat Jack and touched
him for a total of 20, including doubles
and triples. Lester was saluted with 10,
but he hit three men twice each with the
ball. Even with these Lester pitched the
game OF his life, having eight chances be-
sides ripping off a triple. il was great
game, full of snap and ginger and occupied
the attention of the public a little over
three hours. They play to-day at Oakland.

Steamer Bumps the Wharf Heavily.
Notable Arrivals.

The Unlon Company's steamer Monowai.
Captain Carey, arrived at $50 P. NJ. yester-
day, after an uneventlul voyage. But the
fact that Sells circus was on board caused
a large crowd TO assemble at Folsom-street
wharf, and those who expected a circus
were not disappointed.
The big New ZEALAND steamer kept well
out in the stream, past Goat Island, and
preceded more than mile up the bay till
il looked as If Hunters Point and not the
Oceanic wharf was her destination. Then
just as ii seemed to the crowd on the land
ing that they had bad whole days waiting
for nothing the MOnOwai made half turn
and swept right across the swift tide to the
wharf. 1t was boldly and bravely done.
but the tide was just strong enough TO
throw the steamer with grand crash onto
the pier end. The iron stood it, but the
timbers on the pier bent and crumpled up
like kindling wood.
Just as soon as the vessel was dOcked
there was rush for the wharf from the
vessels deck. 1t seemed as If the gang
plank could not let people out fast enough.
