The Superintendent Buildings, afr. Kirk
land, was interviewed in regard to the blame
to be attached to any one for the weak walls
building was probably erected soon after the
fire and before the Building Department was
created. Bat even II 1t had been erected
after the organization Of the Department it
would hardly be proper, he thought, to hold
the latter to blame. There lad never been
enough Inspectors to watch the progress Of
each building in course OF erection.
He only had four men, and 1t was
utterly idle. to suppose or ask that
they should not only prevent the
violation Of the building ordinances in the
new structures that were going up, but also
to see that other buildings put up under
prior administrations and laws were secure.
All his Department could do..was to exhmfne
plans and see that they conform to the law.
Owners Of buildings wonf1 have to depend
upon their architects and contractors for
good material and Work. The walls OF the
building ln question, he said, were eight in-
stead Of four inches, as reported this morn
ine, and we're rs thick as the laws at the time
nf its erection required for the upper story.
Iie thought they fell from faulty construc-
tion or material.

of the organs revealed the presence of
a fatal quantity of prusic acid, which
must have entered the stomach during
life, was clearly shown by its infamed
condition"
As suddenly as belief in Volney
Kendalrs guilt had sprung into being
a new suspicion flashed on the minds
of all.
Ii is true. then, that Seth Driscoll,
with ruin staring him i'm the face, and
his wards money to account for. had
taken his own life. And the shot
that must have been inflicted by Jonas
Wenlock, on discovering his uucle's
dead body, and the evidence of suicide
afforded. most likely by the phial that
contained the deadly draught. He
had thus hoped to secure the insurance
money. which would have been for
feited by death self-inhicted. True.
there was no direct evidence of all
this, but none the less did every one
believe it
Everything seems cleared up but
the tracks and the pistol, said the coro-
ner. when the doctor had concluded.
And these it is nv place 10 exp plain,
Mr.. Kendall having declined to do SO
out of delicacy to myself" inter-
rupted Kate Dunseth, Fastening for
ward from where she and Volney had
been holding an earnest colloquv for
the past five minutes.
my Guardian had forbidden Mr..
Kendall the house and the latter sent
me message requesting secret in
terview in the garden. The message
miscarried-perhaps intercepted
and Volney-Mr. Kendall | mean-
not finding me at the place appointed,
in returning over the wall, accidently
let fall the pistol which he carried for
protection in case he encountered a
certain person who was his deadly foe,
and who always went armed"
Here she cast whitening glance a
Jonas WenlOck, who was careful not
not to meet it.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased had come to his death from
poison administered nv his own hand,
and Nolney Kendall went forth a free
man Kate Dunseth's fortune Was
irretrievably lost; but it was not for
that Nolnev had sought her love and
he WAS proud man the day he I'D
her TO the altar, at the thought that it
WAS herself and not her wealth that
he had wOoed.
Jonas Wenlock never sued for the
insurance money.

through which the well had been
sunk, the curhing not being Of suf-
iicient strength to resist the pressure.
Although one was severely injured by
The timbers, he survived until the
Saturday morning following. and the
other, who was not in ured lived til
that evening, when their strength was
exhausted and death released them
from their misery. Although twenty
weight feet from the surface OF the
ground they could make themselves
heard, and gave directions regarding
the disposal of their property, adviS-
ing their wives. who were sisters. to

where they would he happier and
more comfortable. There were more
rescuers than could work AT one
time, and frequent changes of hands
were made, all being done that NOR
tails could do, but OF no avail, the
brothers being fully aware that help
could not reach them in time. They
died calmly aud manfully, taking
their fate as true men do. They were
exhumed Sunday and buried the same
day.

AN INTERMIssIoN.
An intermission of half an hour was then taken,
during which the guests repaired to the smoking
rooms and balcony to chat over their Havanas, which
by the way, were the genuine article. The CONVEX
sation was carried on busily but quietly and deco
rously. both outside and around the board, without
the noisy chatter of all talking and none listening
which characterizes the social intercourse of the lower
classes of Cinnamon. After intermission the COM
pany resumed their seats, and over their champagne
discussed another feast as intricate and ingenious as
the first, including chicken, mushroom and turtle,
the latter cooked TO perfectonI The feastlng done,
Colonel Bee arose, and on Behalf of the Consul
General proposed the health of the King, saying that
the entertainment had been devised from a desire 10
show him some Ct the inner life of the Chinese, and
TO wish him a prosperous and pleasant journey. They
desire that the three flags entwined on the wall
should represent the three countries which the Pacific
ocean divided, yet brought close together, joined in
amity for all time; that they might go hand in hand.
prosperous in all the arts and sciences, civilization,
and everything that makes nations and people great.
THE KINGS SENTIMENTS.
Colonel Armstrong responded for the King saying,
g His Majesty fully reciprocates the very kind feel
ing which you have expressed on behalf of the Con-
sul-General, not only as regards the relations that
now exists between the three nationalities which you
have mentioned and whose flags are above US, but
also as to the relations that shall exist in the time to
come between these nations. [ am proud to say for
him and the Government Of The nation which we
represent, that IN all our intercourse with the people
of China We have made no distinction whatever in
regard 10 nationality. We have the right to say that
the Courts there are open to all and justice is as well
administered toward the Chinese subjects as towards
his own subjects" This was illustrated by a state
ment of a recent case in which on nearly evenly
balanced testimony, a Hawaiian was convicted of
larceny at the Islands on the evidence of Chinese. In
conclusion, Colonel Armstrong proposed the health
of the Consul General, which was drank standing.
Short speeches were made by Mr. Brooks and General
Mcdowell, and quite a long one by Governor Low,
all in response to volunteer sentiments. a sip of
tea and another of sam-shu and the company arose,
the King and his party departed, leaving the Chinese
chatting with evident satisfaction of the evenings
entertainment.
