12 FORCED TO OPEN THE CASH BOX Bold Crime of a Gang of Highbinders. ROB A FELLOW-COUNTRYMAN INVADE HIS STORE AND AS SAULT HIM WITH A BAR. The Police Are Notified, and Every Effort Is Being Made to Ap prehend the Desperate Men. The police are investigating an unusual ly bold robbery which occurred in the Chinese quarter last Thursday morning. The victim is Ting Sing, who conducts a general merchandise store at 1020 Stock ton street. According to his story, he was seated behind the counter of his store, when two of his fellow-countrymen en tered. They claimed that they had ar rived from Stockton and were anxious to buy some provisions. While they were enumerating a list of articles they de :■!..: live other Chinese appeared. Rec ognizing them as highbinders, the pro prietor started to walk into a little room in the rear of the store, when he was attacked by one of the first visitors, who struck him over the head with an iron bar, cutting a deep gash. me wounded Chm«.*>e smarted to shout for help, when two of the highbinders drew their revolvers, and, placing them in dangerous prnximity to his head, threatened to blow his brains out if he persisted in making an outcry. Realizing that they would not hesitate to carry out their threat he agreed to re main qiiiet while they searched the store for valuables. In a tin box which was under the counter was $70 in gold and sev eral articles of jewelry. After searching for some time the leader of the gang found the box and compelled the helpless proprietor to open it. He then took the money, and. followed by his companion in crime, left the place, after threaten ing to return and set lire to the store. After satisfying himself that the de spoilers had gone the wounded Chinese visited the office of a doctor, where the cut in his head was stitched. Yesterday he appeared before Judge Low and swore out warrants for the arrest of his as sailants. As they are known the police confidently expect to arrest them. MRS. DR. LAPHAME IN ANOTHER SCRAPE MISS EFFIE MORRISON KILLED BY MALPRACTICE. Dr. Popper Mixed Up in the Case. Railroad Company Exonerated From Blame for the Death of William C. Antissll. In the case of Miss Effle Morrison, killed by a criminal operation, which was before the Coroner yesterday, the Jury brought in a free and easy verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to her death from a criminal operation performed by a party or parties unknown. Mrs. Dr. Goodwin, alias Lnphnme, who has been mixed up in similar cases, testi fied that wl i she was called upon to at tend the deceased there were evidences that some other doctor had violated the law and endangered the life of the de ceased. Dr. V. Popper of Kearny street had attended the patient before she was called. Dr. William D. Clark, a regular physi cian, repeated the story which he had told to the reporters and the Coroner a week before, to the effect that the de ceased told him that Mrs. Dr. Goodwin had performed a criminal operation upon her. The jury, however. Ignored this testi mony and brought in the verdict against unknown parties. Dr. Popper began by swearing that he was ;i doctor, and when he was asked as t" the name of the college from which he might have graduated he said that he was not a doctor and thnt lie would not answer any more questions, on the ground that his answers might criminate him. Coroner Hawkins held several other in quests yesterday, the most important be ing that on the case of the death of Wm.C. Antisc-11. who fell oft" a car of the Mission str. et electric line arid whose skull was fractured by the fall. The witnesses tes tified that Antisell boarded the car at the r ( i" Market and Third streets and tork up his position on the front plat form. When the car got about half-way between Third and Fourth streets on Mission Antisell attempted to get off without notifying the conductor or the grlprr.an to stop the car. and in jumping off from the middle step of the dummy he fell on his back in the street and struck so violently r-n the fcteck of his head that his skull was fractured and he was ren dered unconscious. The jury returned a verdict to the ef fect that the deceased came to his death from injuries following a fractured skull anu "that death was caused by the de ceased accidentally falling from a Ms sion-street car while the car was going at a moderate rate of speed, and we fur ther exonerate the railroad company from all blame." A verdict of accidental death was ren dered in the case of Capitalist William Miller, who was asphyxiated at his resi dence. 17D9 Sutter street, by the gas pres sure diminishing during the night and ex tinguishing the flame while the deceased was asleep. A verdict of suicide was returned in the case of James C. Cary. a retired law yer, who shot himself through the head. j. ij. Cary, a son of the deceased, testi fied that his father was T.i years old. and had been confined to the house by sick ness for about three years. The deceased had not spoken of eomtnitting suicide, but had often said that he would not want to live If he got so old that he •would not be able to lake care of himself. MILKMEN IN TROUBLE.

LITTLE DROPS COME PATTERING DOWN MUCH REJOICING IN THE OUT- LYING DISTRICTS. Light Showers All Along the Coast Which Will Greatly Benefit Farmers and Fruit Growers. Early yesterday morning the skies were darkened, heavy clouds rolled over the horizon, and, to the joy of hundreds, par ticularly in the rural districts, the rain came gently down. Although very light, the Intermittent showers which continued throughout the day and night were looked upon as a blessing. The rain conies too late in the Beason to entirely save the crops, but early enough to be beneficial. Much of the "wheat, which otherwise would have been entirely lost, may now attain a suffi cient growth to make good straw, but the grain will be very little benefited. The rain is still early enough to help the orchard crop, and will be worth thou sands of dollars to fruit-growers. Showers were reported all along the coast and creeping steadily inland. There was a large area of low pressure between the Rockies and Sierras, which made a strong indraught of air along the coast At the headquarters of the Weather Service in the top of the Mills building the little electrical machine re corded a rainfall of four-hundredths of an inch and wind velocity of twelve miles an hour. Light showers are predicted for to-day and possibly to-morrow. MEMORIAL DAY. Elaborate Plans of Observance by George H. Thomas Post. O. A. R. George H. Thomas Post No. 2, Q. A.

A meter was set 1 upon the committee room table and put in operation, when by a single applica 1 tion of an electro magnet Mr. Smith ac ' celerated its motion 21 per cent. It was stated on behalf of the company that it was absolutely certain that some , person had Intentionally tampered with i the meters. A great many questions were asked by I the members of tho committee regarding 1 the workings of the meters, and In order ! to get more light upon the question the '. matter was continued until the next meeting.

ONE YEAR'S RICH RECORD THIRTY-FIVE SUBSTANCES IN THE COMMERCIAL LIST. Twenty-Five Millions of New Wealth Produced by California Last Year— How It Is Divided. Here Is the grand record for California for 1597 as the greatest mineral State of the Union, all things considered. The in crease for the year is near $1,000,000. This State has for the first time in its history now taken second place as a gold pro ducer, but in the variety of its mineral products California yet proudly main tains its prestige. Its pre-eminence as a i gold producer is certain soon to return i to it. and meantime the variety of its ' mineral products is as great as the vari ety of its fruits, and in both mineral and horticultural fields it is matchless. The figures here given are wholly those of considerable present commercial im ! portance. The diamonds, amethysts, etc., of California, which treble or sextuple the list of the State's mineral resources, are not mentioned. In round figures the State's mineral production, as compiled i for the State Mining Bureau by Statisti | cian Charles G.

MISS BARBIER'S ANSWER. Alleges That Harry Emeric Struck Her and Drove Her From His House. The Emeric will contest came up In Judge Troutt's department of the Superior Court yesterday morning. A simple mo tion to strike out certain portions of the amended complaint constituted the day s proceedings, and those who came expect ing to enjoy a sensation or two went away disappointed. The case will alain,b^a l ain , b^ taken up next Friday, and the hearing may proceed. , .^ Miss Lorena Myrtle Barb er, legatee under the will of Mrs. Emeric, has hied her answer to the contest of Harry numer ic, husband of the deceased. Miss Bar bier's answer intimates that had she de sired she might have succeeded her de ceased sister as the wife of Emeric. She produces a number of love letters from the contestant alleged to have been writ ten within a week after his wife s death, and has placed one in the hands of the court. She denies that the contestant edu cated and supported her. and that she in fluenced Mrs. Emeric to make a will in her favor. Miss Barbier alleges that she was forced to leave Emerie s house on account of his brutal treatment, and states that at one time he struck her, using a small dog as a weapon, and continued to strike her until the dog was dead. Other stories of a similar nature are expected to crop up during the trial, and an inter esting session Is expected. LEAVE THE CONVENT FOR THE WORLD CLOSING EXERCISES AT THE SACRED HEART.
