Fiery Stuff Drank by Alaskans.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


The hoochinoo, 50 called from its
first being made by the Indians of that
tribe, is the great enemy of peace and
order among these people. Govern
ment orders prevent the importation
of whisky, rum, and the like, but the
ever vigilant officers cannot keep
watch of all the illicit stills that the
Indians set up in their houses or in
lonely spots in the woods. A deserter
from whaling ship once taught the
Indians how to distill hoochinso, and
the secret of manufacture has never
been allowed to die out An empty
oil can, some section. of rubber pipe,
or the hollow stems of the long sea
onions furnish sufficient apparatus,
and molasses, sugar, and most any
thing else supply ingredients for the
fiery stuff that can be distilled in a
short time. The mariners from the
an-of-war are always on the lookout
for hoochinoo, and with the first signs
of it raid is made on Siwash Town
the supply destroyed if possible. With
the cunning of savage race the In
dians have most wonderful ways and
places for concealing the hoochinco,
and il takes the keen scent of detec-
tive to find underground and up-trec
hiding places they can devise.

The Republican Convention.

RUTHFIELD SPRINGS, n. Y, Sept. 1S
The attendance at the republi-
can state convention is not as large as
usual. The state committee met at
s o'clock this morning. The commit
tee was called to order by Chairman
Jno. f. Smith. Upon the roll call
twenty members answered to their
names. The convention adjourned
until 10 o'clock p. m.
No programme for organization is as
yet indicated. The name most can
vassed in connection with the tempo
rary chairmanship is Senator Warner
Miller. Very little disposition was
shown by prominent republicans pres
ent to discuss the probable action of
the convention. The purpose seems
to be to permit the convention to take
its own course in reference to the
formation of a ticket. The whole
drift of sentiment appears to favor a
denomination of the present state Off

telegraphed, to-day, cancelling his

Depew, Whitelaw Reid and George

nent delegates not expected. 1t is
said a considerable proportion of the
New York city delegation will not be
present There is no reason to be-
lieve that any strife will arise in the
convention over any point.

Mr.. Pierce is Not a Candidate.

MIR. Pierce is Not a Candidate.
Boston, Sept. lS-Pierce says in
his l>tter: Il repeat what | said be-
fore | went away, namely, that |
would not be candidate for govern
or or any other political office, and
that / regarded Robinson as a man on
whom opponents of Butlerism could
best write The numerous testi-
monials of personal regard and conf
dence which l have received
cannot blind me to the fact
that my action on some of
the political questions in the past and
my opinions on some questions which
will undoubtedly enter into the com
ing political contest in this
state may prevent that writer
of action which is necessary in order
to redeem the commonwealth from
administration of its chief executive
officer, which is unparalleled IN its
disregard of decency and propriety. "
When Congressman Robinson first
heard of Pierce's letter of declination
he expressed the utmost astonishment.
He said frankly that he had hoped
the nomination would go to Pierce,
and had not thought otherwise.
When asked if there was any truth
in the rumor that he also would write
a letter of declination, he answered
that he should not. His position
was this. He should accept the nom
ination if the party saw fit to nomi-
nate him; but firmly hoped that some
other republican would be selected.
Chairman Lodge and Mr.. Beard visit
ed Pierce this morning, and We're sur
prised to find him in condition of
health which positively forbids his
undertaking the duties of campaign.
Neither Lodge nor Beard feel it right
to urge Pierce to withhold the already
prepared letter of which he had been
delaying the publication, hoping for
better health, and in defiance of the
wishes of friends 1t is absolutely true
party managers were taken entirely
by surprise in The matter, notwith-
standing having received private in
formation regarding Pierce's health.
Pierce is not expected in town during
the convention; if he comes. it will
be in defiance of the express mandate
of his physician. At a meeting of the
republican state committee this after
noon, the general sentiment of the
members was expressed decided Y in
favor of influencing as far as possible
all Pierce delegates to the convention
to cast their ballots for congressman
Robinson.

AN ISLAND BLAZE.
A. Fifteen Hundred Dollar Fire,
Yesterday.
4 Block of Residences on South Front
Street Badly Damaged by Fire.
Which was Well Handled.

The first fire of any dinner that
Wheeling has experienced for some time,
occurred yesterday morning, and the usu-
ally exempt Garden Spot was the theatre.
Several persons on the Ohio street wharf
discovered blaze issuing from the roof OF
The brick block OF dwellings, Nos. %, 81
and SO South Front street. Word was tel
phoned to the Island hose house and inn
mediately afterward an alarm was sent in
from box 70, corner of Virginia and Broad
yay streets. The Island company made
excellent time, and had an attachment
made before the last round of the alarm
had stopped The department from this
side came over in good time, and very soon
several streams of water were playing on
the blaze.
In coming over, quite mishap to the
hook and ladder truck occurred: 1t is not
provided with rubbers, and going at full
speed down the approach to the bridge was
lost to control. One OF Armstrong, Coen
< Co. s lumber wagons was il the way, and
in attempting to avoid collision, the
truck turned aside and was overturned.
Ed Moegge, driver, John Armstrong, fore
man, and Jake Ritz, tile rman, were on
the truck and were thrown oil. the heaVy
ladders falling upon them. All were more
or less bruised, but their injuries did not
prevent them from working hard at the
fire. :,
The burning block was composed OF
three buildings. The first, owned by the
Burley heirs, was vacant; the others,
owned by DR.. Z. A. Hildreth. were oc,u.
pied by b. n. Hildreth and W.. S. Brady,
respectively, Mr.. Hildreth being IN the
centre. The families OF both are absent,
Mr.. Hildreth's house being in charge OF
his sister.in-law. 1t is believed the fire
Burley building and was caused by
a spark from fue in the centre
house. Once in a blaze, it had swept
across under the roof and communicated
with all three. The southern building has
a tin roof, while the Others were OF shin
giles. The tin was a protection and saved
that roof, but the others were entirely con-
sumed.
The departm ent did good work. Hose
was carried through the houses and the ire
was confined 10 the roof and, after q little
energetic work, entirely conquered. The
water, of course, did little damage 10 the
furniture in Mr.. Hildreths house. ', 10
estimated that 81 900 will NOR, man rensir
the injury to the buildings and $500 will
possibly cover Inc loss on the furniture
Both are lDsurAdt, the Franklin carrying a
policy on the building.
During the fire Foreman Lu kens, OF the
Island company. had his back painfully
burned while directing a stream in the gar
ret of the centre building.
At the first sight of the blaze warning
was given to the servants at Mr.. Hildreth' S,
but they deemed it hoax and paid no at
tention until they inhaled the smoke.
