NORFOLK, Va, March 2G, 1884.
The Mayors Court was the scene OF an
exciting atfray between Mayor Lamb
and Commissioner Zachary to-day.
About noon the Board OF Police Commits
SiOners met TO investigate the suspension
of the twelve police officers for raiding the
negro gambling-dens on Sunday morning.
Mayor Lamb declined to act with the
Board. and arose TO leave the room, and re-
marked TO Messrs. Zachary and Taylor
that he was surprised to see published in
the morning papers an account OF pri-
vate conversation in which he was alluded
to as shielding thieves and gamblers OF the
city, which charge he pronounced to be a
lie.
Mr.. Zachary: Do you mean to say that
have liedy
Mayor Lamb; Yes; you are liar and Il
puppy.
At this Mr.. Zachary slapped the Mayor
in the face. Bystanders Immediately sepa-
rated the cOmhatants.
After the combatants had been separated
Mayor Lamb remarked: You contemplate
puppy. to strike a crippled man.
To prevent further hOstilities Mr.. Xacha-
ry was induced by two friends to step out
side.
Both parties were immediately taken be-
fore Judge Brooke and bailed in the sum
of $4,000 each to keep the peace.
At later hour the Board OF Police Com
missioners met at the station-house and re-
stored to duty the suspended officers.
Mayor Lamb declined to act.
The negroes OF the city are very much
excited over the events Of to-day and the
raids on Sunday, and tonight are holding
onmerously-attended indignation meeting
at the coOred Masonic Temple, on Queen
treet.

That when any article by its own merits

not allow themselves to be swindled by
having plasters said 10 be 'just As good"
OF containing superior Ingredients i'm

IN MEMORIAM.
Benjamin F. Bolle..

II was with great regret that the citizens of Ho-
nolulu heard of the death of Mr.. B. F. Boles,
which occurred at go p. m, May 10th. Mr. Bolles
had been ailing tor long time, and though his
caused none the less a sense of pain to his many
business and social friends.
Mr.: Bodies was born at New London Connecti-
cut, March 18th, 1874, and was therefore over 20
years OF age at the time Of his DEATH In very early
years he found it necessary to Commence the hat
lie OF lie, ana he was engaged in various capaci-
ties IN business in New England from the very
start. AT one time he was in the employ of the
celebrated Commodore Vanderbilt. Mr.. Boles
landed in the Hawaiian Islands in 1876. and nj
once opened ship chandlery and general mer-
chandise business in Lahaina Maui where he re-
manned sixteen years. He came to Honolulu in
the site where Theo. H. Davies L Co.'s Office now
stands. In 1854 he moved to the store which his
tirm occupied at the time of his death.
On March 18th, 1888, Mr.. Bodies married Miss
Elizabeth q. Hebron, the sister of our we'll known
fellow townsman Capt: Thos. H. Hebron. and en-
joyed forty-six years of uninterrupted domestic
happiness. Besides the widow, Mr.. BoIIes leaves
family of five daughters and one son, all being
married except the youngest daughter and he Is
represented In the second generation by no less
than nineteen grandchildren.
The deceased was seized by his fatal illness on
January 18th OF the present year. and never left his
home after that date. The remote cause is thought
to be heavy fall which he sustained on hoard the
CITY Of NEG York in 1880, when on his way to San
Francisco. There was very stormy weather at the
time, the decks were slippery and Mr.. Boles was
thrown on his chest against a ring-bolt.
The funeral took place on Sunday at $50 d. H.,
from the residence of the deceased. Rev j. A.
Cruz'n conducted the funeral services, which were
most impressive. Most of our prominent citizens
were present. The numerous wreaths and emblems
IN flowers were extremely beautiful, prominent
among them being a cross of pure white flowers
The following gentlemen acted as pail bearers;
Hons. c. X. Bishop, A. S. Cleghorn, s. G. Wilder,
Messrs. A. j. Cartwright Henry May, S. G. Allen,
2. G. Jones and F. A. Schaefer.
In all relations in life, Mr.. Bolles stood high.
His business career was marked by energy and
strict integrity. He was one Of our oldest mer-
chants. The firm of BOlles & Co. having an un-
broken existence for 80 years. In his private rela
TONS he was an excellent husband kind father
and stAunch friend. He had kindly heart and
was ever ready to assist those in trouble His
death will be sincerely mourned, not only by his
family but by a large circle of friends
