A TELEGRAM was recently sent from
Columbus, o., saying that Mr.. Herbert
Tay, of that city. had been notified by
the War Department that he was the
youngest man enlisted in the Union
army in any of the States during the
rebellion. 1t was stated at the War
Department that no statement of the
nature mentioned had ever been made
by the department. and no information
on the subject has ever been compiled
from the records. The War Depart
ment officials say it would involve an
examination of the records of nearly
three million men to enable the de-
partment to make such statement
with any degree of accuracy, and as
nothing would be gained to the public
service by the compilation of such in
formation, the probability is that the
question of who was the youngest sol
dier will never be definitely settled.

HIS Pay Wa. stopped.

WASHINGTON, September S.-First Comp
treller D1ham yesterday stopped a reeusi-
ton to pay the salary OF j. A. j. CresweII,
Government Counsel before the Court OF
Commissioners OF Alabama Claims, for the
month of August, until it is settled thar
there is any balance due him. The FRS.
Comptroller takes the ground that Mr..
CreswelI is not entitled to a fixed salary of
$4,000 per annum, but that that sum IL
naHed As the limit OF the fees TO be allowed
h,u for the trial OF cases. He says that the
Law organizing the court provided that the
Government Counsel should receive 4 rca-
sonabls compensation for each case tried.
and that subsequent laws limited such com
pensatiOn TO $4,000 PER annum. The court,
however, lie says neglected 10 fix the
amount OF reasonable compensation. v
and has illegally treated that item As fixed
salary.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

With tO-day's paper we issue full
great deal of very interesting items.
The war cloud between Spain and
Germany is being gradually dispelled,
it being understood that Pope Leo
will arbitrate between the two pow
ers. Spain will certainly accept the
Pope's award, although his selection
was suggested by Germany. But
war cloud of very big size has APP
peared in another quarter, and Europe
is likely to witness this autumn a re-
newal of the war for the partition of
Turkey, which was suspended a few
years ago by the Treaty of Berlin.
At least this is certain to happen
should the Porte not recognize the
union Of ROumelia and Bulgaria under
Prince Alexander. This is repeating
in the Balkan provinces the policy Of
the Danubian principalities of Mol
davia and Wallachia which now form
the Kingdom of Roumania. The
other news in our supplement will be
found varied and interesting.
The back of our news supplement-
contains a full-page advertisement of
Signor Farini's Opera Company,
which is to arrive in Honolulu by
the Alameda, October 22d. Our read
ers are referred to this important an
nouncement for full particulars.

CensnI 6aeneraI NTeKinIeY.

Mr.. D. A. Mckinley, the Hawaiian
Consul General at San Francisco, has
now finished the interior arr9- cement of
his office to his entire satt action He
has added several desks am tables for
the convenience of business men, so that
at least dozen are now able to transact
their business comfortably. Besides the
handsome furniture in the private por-
ton of the office, he has now hung upon
the walls some photographs of members
of the Royal Family, His Majesty's Min
listers, the Palace, Aliiolani Hale, the
Royal Hawaiian Coat of Arms, the statue
of Kamehameha ", several official
documents and handsome clock. Mr..
McKinley's office is certainly credit to
the Kingdom, both in its appearance and
in the prompt and courteous business

FALSE INFORMATION
Search In Coffin for Struggled
Opium.

AN Unpleasant, and as it turned out,
a wholly unnecessary occurrence took
place on Saturday last, at the Oceanic
Company's wharf, owing to infrmation
conveyed to Marshal SOper He was
notified that a coffin had been shipped
at San Francisco by the brigantine Con-
suelo under circumstances strongly sug-
gestive that it contained opium, and not
human remains. The Marshal com
municated with the Collector General of
Customs, and requested that a search be
made on the arrival of the Consuelo. 1t
Mr.. Robert More, machinist, was on
board that vessel, and he was sent for
by Colonel Iaukea and informed of the
suspicion attaching to its contents.
Naturally MIR. More felt indignant, and
protested that so far as he himself or his
wife knew, the casket contained only
he remains of his mother, who had
Neen dead some six years, and which
had been brought down from San Fran
cisco to be inferred beside her late hus-
band in the family lot in Nuuanu ceme
terry. Mrs. Robert More had been on
the Coast recently and arranged for the
transfer and shipment of the remains to
Honolulu Colonel Iaukea expressed
his regret at the necessity which his
duty imposed upon him land requested Mr..
More to be present when the coffin was
opened The following persons were
present during the CHASTITY search on
Saturday: The Collector General OF
Customs, Marshal Soper, Major Rosa,
of the Attorney Generals office; Mr..
George Markham, Port Surveyor; Mr..
Robert More, and two or three police
officers Mr., G. E. Williams, the under
taker, was employed to open the casket,
which he did, as well as the leaden shell,
in which were found human remains
only. Every one must svmpathize with
Mr. More and his family under the pain
full circumstances. The Collector Gen
eral and Marshal of the Kingdom showed
the utmost consideration possible, but
their duty was memorable. The entire
blame for the occurrence rests elsewhere.

Fatal Accident.

On Saturday party OF Hawaiian
women went up Nuuanu Valley, a little
above the Hallway House, TO hold a pic
mic. They remained there all the after
noon and had very pleasant time \
little before O'Clock they We're ready To
return home Mrs. Sam Ncwlein, Annie
Akona, two little girls and boy got into
a break, with the first named holding
the reins. The horse, the once famous
racer Jimmie, which has latterly been
broken to harness, commenced 10 behave
rather badly, soaring the occupants OF
the break Mary Akona told Mrs. Now
lein that she could manage him, so
Annie Akona and the two little girls got
out and Mary jumped in and took the
reins They had no sooner started than
the animal dashed off At full gallop. Just
below the bridge, after leaving the Half
way House, the break struck one of the
large water pipes lying on the side Of the
road, and the three occupants were
thrown out When Mrs. Nowlein came
to, she found herself lying across
water pipe, her ankle and back severely
sprained. She looked FOR the others,
and about seventy-five feet up the road
saw the young boy crawling out OF the
ditch on the side OF it. \ little further up
was Mary Allona stretched out between
two water pipes. Mrs. Nowlein, by n
great effort, managed to crawl to where
she was and found bad cut over her
eve, but could not tell whether she was
hurt elsewhere She raised her head
into her lap and found that Mary was

along, bound for Koolau, and preferred
assistance. Other persons came along
also, and some OF them started to town
for doctor \ wagon was obtained and
Mrs Nowlein and Mary Akona were
taken into town to the residence of the
latter on King street, above the soap
works An examination was made and
it was then found Mary AkOna had re-
ceived such internal injuries as to cause
her almost instant death. The walls of
the chest were stove in and the ribs
broken 1t would appear that in falling
she must have struck the end Of one of
the water pipes. One of her legs was
broken and there was large wound on
the left arm. The seat OF the break on
which she was sitting has not since been
seen. Mrs. Nowlein states she cannot
remember anything after the horse
started to gallop, he went so fast that. it
dazed her. Mary Akona must have been
thrown out first, then the boy and after
wards Mrs Nowlein As soon as the
latter recovered consciousness she was
surprised to see the horse standing near
her with the damaged break She does
not know how far he ran down the road,
but had evidently not gone a long dis
lance, for he was quick in returning.
Mrs. Nowlein has since been removed to
her own house and is doing as well as
can be expected. Mary Akona was a
daughter of the late Akona, who formerly
kept the International Hotel. She was
about twenty-five years Of age. Her
funeral took place yesterday afternoon

ANarrow Escape.

On Saturday afternoon, little after 5
O'Clock, Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Peacock had
narrow escape from being seriously
hurt. They were driving in a buggy
along Beretania street, and in turning ON
to Emma street one of the hind wheels
collapsed. This startled the horse and
he ran away up Emma street. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Peacock were thrown out,
but beyond a few slight bruises we are
glad to say they are all right. The
horse was stopped at Emma Square
without doing any damage, though two
private teams at the band concert had
very narrow escapes from being run
into
