LILY POST NEAR TO DEATH.
The Popular Opera Singer Is Not Ex-
pected to Live.

Lily Post, the well-known and popular
opera singer, who was taken to the Re
ceiving Hospital a few days ago by her
friends to be examined for insanity, has
steadily grown worse, notwithstanding
the excellent care she has received.
When 1t was declared that her mind
was shattered her husband undertook to
move her to a private asylum, but her
condition was such as to prevent him
from so doing, and she has since remained
at the city institution Late last night it
was reported that the unfortunate young
woman was failing rapidly and that her
malady had progressed to such a stage
that there is little hope of her recovery.
Her husband and mother have been at
her bedside since the day of her misfor-
tune and all that good nursing and med
ical skill could do has been done to save
her life.
The passing of this jolly, sweet-voiced
footlight favorite would be sincerely re-
GREETED by her many friends, not only
here, but throughout the country, and the
crisis in her case will be awaited with
genuine concern.

him until after his fight became known.
The day the Australia sailed from Homo
lulu Goldman managed to stow himself
on board through the assistance of
friends but unknown to any body connect
cealed until after the vessel was we'll out
side Diamond Head. Then he came forth
from his hiding place, paid his fare and
was assigned to a stateroom Goldman
object in slowing himself away instead of
quietly purchasing a ticket was to avoid
having his name appear on the printed
passenger list, which was issued and dis
tributed before the steamer sailed. Had
he pursued the ordinary course his in
tended flight would have been known
hours before the Australia sailed.
Arriving in this city Goodman came
ashore as soon as the ship locked, and
has disappeared nobody knows where.
When the Nippon Maru sailed from
Honolulu, although Goodman's flight was
common comment, his friends were indus
triously engaged in endeavoring to effect
q compromise of some sort with the COM
pany whereby Goodman would escape
prosecution. 1t is confidently believed
that some arrangement will be made so
that he will not be subjected to fear OF
arrest in this country
Mrs Goodman is now disposing Of her
effects in Honolulu, and 1t is stated that
she will come here and join her husband
in a short time. 1t is the impression in
the islands that Goodman will not go very
far from San Francisco until after his
wife arrives, but will keep out Of sight
until then.

Subdues Nine Brutal Rioters in a
Melee at 5 Brannan Place
Last Night.

There was a lively Chinese war at 5
Brannan place last evening in which
Lieutenant Price played a high hand
and landed nine of the combating ORR
entails in the California police station soon
after o'clock. The affair took place in
a den where the Wong Gong Har Society,
a branch of the See Yups, was transact
ing the business Of the tong.
Chang Chung, who caused the racket,
is a merchant of MERGED, and, according
to the officers, came to this city to collect
a bill which was due him from the Wong
Gong HAIRS. The bill was disputed, where
upon Chung produced his orders. Dur
ing the conversation Wong Sic Dip acted
as spokesman, and when he saw how the
tide of affairs was running struck Chung
with a chair. Immediately the entire
tong, consisting of eight burly China
men, pitched upon the unfortunate cred
itor. Clubs, lamps, chairs, pokers and
all available articles were used as
weapons. After the struggle had contin-
ued for some time and gore began to
flow, one of the crowd rushed out and
informed Lieutenant Price. The officer
entered the room and, catching the nine
CeleStialS by the queues, soon stopped
the fracas. Officers King, Butler, Tay-
lor and Bonner made their appearance
and assisted the lieutenant in arresting
the band. Chang Chung received a deep
cash on the forehead and was sent to the
Harbor Hospital for treatment. Wong Sic
Dip also had a portion of the cuticle on
his face removed by the leg of chair,
but was not seriously hurt. The other
Cinnamon engaged in the fight were
Wong Lang, Gang Yet, Wong Han. Wong
Sic wy, Wong Hoey, Wong Bon and
Wong Lin.
Price combated the entire gang of strug-
Cling Chinese single-handed for several
minutes and escaped without scratch.
Later. several lottery dens were raided
by Lieutenant Price and the same officers
and four arrests were made

Several Track Horses that are
Training On.

At the race track on Friday last.
Frank and r, after being galloped
couple Of miles, worked a quarter in
251a seconds. Antidote, Seabreeze,
Royalist and Sympathetic's Last were
all on the track, but were not opened
out. Amarino went a mile and a quar-
ter in 2:231a. Under the eye of Dur
fee, who is now called the Missionary
Driver, Gartaline and Venus, Col.
CornwelIS runners, were sent a mile
in l: 50-a very pretty workout.
Saturday morning Gibson was the
first trainer to appear. He told the
boy to let Sympathetic's Last out
little, and three-quarters of a mile was
shown in 1 :22k. McAuliffe sent Sea-
breeze a pretty half Antidote turned
mile handiiy in 1:49. Royalist and
Red Pike travelled together at a fair
clip couple OF miles, and being warm
ed up were given the word for three
quarters. Royalist finished several
length to the good in 1:19. Bobolink
was held in for three miles and then
ters. The time caught was 1:23, and
the horse pulled up sound and with
his bellows all right. The treat of the
day was another smash of the record,
this time by Fred Button, the Ouder-
kirk green horse" McManus had the
ribbons. For sharp exercise Button
was given three miles. The first was
in 2:35. For the last McManus made
up his mind to see what the green boy

wise division of the spectators has
chifls. The time was 2:13A, without a

to be in very good form. She turned

Committed a Robbery and Were
Found Ont.
ONE PLAYED DEAD Man
Or II. " Murray's Safe Looted-The
Burglar Was Captured by Quite
Unusual Plan

| one OF the cleverest pieces of detec-
tive work done in this city for a long
time was accomplished yesterday by
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth. In the
morning DR.. III. V. Murray visited the
station and reported that during the
night his room had been entered and
between 5000 and $500 taken from the
safe. He had no idea who had done
this and notified the authorities mere
ly as a matter of form.
With no further knowledge than
| that the theft had been committed
lChillingworth began his hunt for the
| thief. He first made inquiries as to
the whereabouts of All Hin, the Chin
csc boy who works for Dr. Murray.
After tedious search he found him.
The next task was to extract any in
| formation that the willy Chinee"
might have. After much questioning
All Hin admitted that he had been
spending the morning with All Oh, who
had been gambling quite heavily. AS
All Oh is an ''odd job Celestial Chill
lingworth wondered where the money
came from. Leaving All Hin at the
station he started after the man of
but the bird had flown. In order to
disarm suspicion he told the women
of All Ois house that All Hin was
dying at the station and wanted to see
All OF. The ruse was successful. In
the meantime the officer had All Hin
stretched out on the table with a
shroud over his body, and -four over
his face, the latter being the pallor of
death. When All Oi saw the supposed
dead body of his pal his wonder
was great, and his attempt at grief
greater. Chillingworth left with All Oi
and later returned to the dead man,
leaving All Oh with an officer. He told
All Hin that All Oh had. confessed
everything and as the story went All
Hin was deeply implicated. The bluff
worked. All Hin Immediately told the
tale of the robbery. Later All Oi veri-
fed his pals story, with the exception
that he said that All Hin entered the
room and took the money. There are
facts though that disprOve this and
make All OF the culprit.
informed All Oh that DR.. Murray was
in the habit of keeping large sum of
money in the safe. The plans for the
burglary were arranged. All Oi was to
go inside, while All Hin was to keep
watch from without. When the doctor
was awakened by the turning of the
key in the safe he reached out for his
revolver, which ne always placed On
the stand near by. The pistol had been
The burglar was startled by
the movement and Immediately fed,
leaving the greater portion Of the sate
contents intact.
Some of the money was found IN An
Ois possession. He has been arrested
before on minor charges OF like nature,
and the last time served nine months
for a petty theft.
