GOGGIN is IN LONDON.
He Is Earning a Precarious
Living in Old Age as a
Printer.
His Story in This City Ends With the
Transfer of His Van Ness
Avenue Home.

The real estate transactions recorded in
this City during the past week include
the transfer of the former home of Ed
mund w. Goggin on Van Ness avenue,
near Jackson street, to 7. B. Valentine,
by Joseph E. Brien, commissioner. This
marks the close of Goggin's somewhat
meteoric career in this City, and, coupled
with other facts, furnishes a good object
lesson for the instruction of the young.
The other facts are that Goggin's sec
ond wife has left him, and that, from the
position which he occupied in this City as
superintendent of the large printing es-
Enlistment of Francis & Valentine, he
has fallen to eking out a somewhat pre-
carlous living in London as a printer.
His income from this work is very low
When he was in the flush of prosperity he
had two homes-the residence on Van
NeSS avenue and the property known as
Shamrock Lodge at Belvedere. His income
for many years outside of a stated salary
OF $50 per week was large.
He came to San Francisco from Aus
tralia, worked for Bacon for awhile, and
then, about 1874. went to work for Francis
& Valentine. He had considerable ac-
quain tance with theatrical people, and
this gave him command of much theatri-
cal advertising. He was connected with
Francis d Valentine until something less
than two years ago, when it was discov-
cred th$t he had used the money of the
firm for his own purposes. He fed the
country, and was supposed until now to
be in Scotland, but an old acquain tance
met him in a London street and brought
the news to this City.
GoGgin is now about 61 years old. His
old acquantances think that he will not
be able ever to retrieve his finances
for his wages cannot more than afford him
a living. The Van Ness avenue property
which has just been transferred to T. B.
Valentine, was expensive, the house
having cost about $1,000. Goggin never
completely paid for it. He borrowed
money from a building and loan associa-
ton on the property. Before he went
from California he had paid all except
$4,000 to $4,000. Goggin lived too fast and
has met trouble of several kinds.

The fair and festival for the new Youths
Directory fund in progress at the First
Regiment Armory was in full swing yes
terday and last evening, rything being

The concert in the early part of the
evening presented an excellent pro.
gramme, which called out repeated en-
cores.
The booths were all equipped with at.
tractive wares, and were each of them
presided over by bevy of beautiful and
very successful Salesladles. The '49 Min
ing Camp was largely patronized, as was
also the booth of Princess Amosa, a Young
lady with no body but boasting a very
pretty face and head. Her fortunes were
presided over by Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick
and Laura Fox.

SUICIDE OF AN UNKNOWN.
A Laborer Cuts His Throat With {
Penknife.

A Laborer Cuts His Throat With a
Penknife.
An unknown man. apparently of French
descent, about 45 years of age, committed
suicide by cutting his throat with pen
knife in the st. George House, S12 Kearny
street, last evening.
The deceased, who was evidently a
laboring man, called at the lodgin house
about o'clock. He was assigned room
on the second floor, near the Office, and
after paying for the accommodation re-
tired.
About 10 o'clock the proprietor was at
tracted by groans coming from the un-
known's room, and, finding the door un-
locked, walked in and discovered his guest
lying on the bed, his throat cut from ear
TO ear.
The police patrol was summoned and
the dying man was removed TO the Re-
ceivfng Hospital, where he died in few
minutes
The body was removed to the Morgue
and when the clothes were searched $40
in gold was found. There was nothing
found, however, that would assist in es-
tablishing the suicides identity.

The Heavy Penalty Imposed on Peter
Ducoy, Murderer, by Judge
Wallace.
Peter Ducey, VINO was on Wednesday
last convicted of murder in the second de-
gree for having slain his aunt, Kate Nc
Keever, one day last May, was yesterday
sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
Judae Wallace's action in thus impos-
ing the maximum penalty upon the man
who, in tit of drunken anger, slew his
best friend, has been thought severe, in
view OF the fact that the jury came very
near bringing in verdict OF manslaugh ter
instead of murder
