Union burdens, which the kingdom
has been guilty of through the
action of private residents, has as
sumed considerable proportions.
One vessel recently carried away six
hundred letters outside of the Post
Office mails. Before the last steamer
sailed the Postmaster-General gave
orders to the purser to receive no
letters on board and the public
were notified to send none there, To
give the utmost time for late cores
pondents, the late letter bag at the
Post Office was kept open until ten
minutes before the steamers depar-
ture. Now and henceforth, no
letters except those marked econ
signec's letter" can be sent outside
of the regular mails.

SCHOOLS.

TO the great dismay of the drone,
and the joy of the ambitious juvenile
Honoluluan, the schools, public and
private, re-opened yesterday, after
the holidays.
Fort street reports 25 recruits
added to the force. The pupils of
the previous session are mostly all
in. Some, however, will answer
"absent " to their names until after
the arrival of next steamer from the
coast.
At the Royal School, Rev. Mr..
Mackintosh's room is in charge of
Miss l.. l.. Moore, whose place in
the adjoining room is supplied by
Miss Andrews, Miss Bertha Won
Holt taking Miss Andrews place up
stairs. The attendance in the prim-
airy departments is pretty full. The
advanced departments are, as yet,
somewhat thin, and will not be in
full blast for week, or more. Six
or seven of the former students in
the principals room have entered st.
Louis College. No improvements
have been effected in the furniture.
The same old ink-begrimmed desks
threaten to do duty for some time
yet.
The Pohukaina Girls School
makes good showing in the princi-
pals department, although a con-
siderable number has yet to come in,
some from visits to the other islands.
Mrs. Woods room has full quota
of pupils, although only about half
the number in attendance previous
to the holidays are present. Some five
names have been added to the roll.
When the absentees report them
selves, which will probably be in
about week, this department will
he as before, not overcrowded, but
packed, the pupils wedged in in twos
and threes where they ought to be in
ones. No steps have been taken to
provide another teacher, though the
necessity for increasing the staff is
not only apparent but urgent.
The Punaliou Preparatory opens
with a large attendance, there being
ninety-five already enrolled, of whom
twelve are new corners. Ten of the
advanced pupils of this school before
the vacation, have gone step higher
and entered the classes in Oahu
College.
Oahu College makes an suspicious
re-opening, upwards of fifty students.
The classes are all well represented.
The number in the boarding depart
ment is larger than in former years

A DANGEROUS FIRE.
BLAZING GASOLINE IN A WOODEN
BUILT QUARTER.

About ll.20 O'Clock this forenoon
Il commotion started on Queen street,
and in the EXPLANATIONS of run
ming crowd could be heard the word
.'fire!" From the door of this
office could be seen flames issuing
from Geo. w. Macfarlane & Co.'s
storage yard, corner of Queen and
Richards streets, opposite Mrs.
Singers bakery. The fire bells
were soon changing, followed speedi-
ly by the ding-dong of hose reels
and engines fastening to the spot.
Engine Co. No. l were on the ground
with their machine in about five
minutes, and, taking their station at
the plug ON Richards, near Mer-
chant street, got first water on the
flames, so far as the department was
concerned. Pacific Hose Company
was quickly at the scene on Queen
street, attaching their hose to the
plug, corner of Alakea street. That
antiquMted device was possessed of
the stubbornness of its kind, how
ever, and for full fifteen minutes
resisted the most strenuous Juggling,
jerking and twisting of the hose
men, some of whose hands and arms
were bruised and bleeding before
the rccalcitrant screw was started.
China and Mechanic Engine Com
panies also came by way of Queen
street, but happily their services
were not required. Before any
water from the brigade reached the
flames, Mrs. Singer had rushed
across the street and heroically piled
a bucket, and with good effect, as
sisted by three or four native work,
men employed in the yard. The
men might have done better service
had they not been in a panic, by
making use of Il garden hose ant
faucet at hand.
The food of the flames was gaso
line, large quantity of which was
stored in the yard. A small shed
some boxes, and piece of fence
were thoroughly charred, and a few
trees had their foliage withered
Something like one hundred gallon
of the intlammable fluid was de

stroyed. The fire originated in this
wise: Workmen were filling II gal
lon cans with the gasoline from large
tanks holding 100 gallons. Mr..
James Mott was engaged in sealing
the filled cans with solder. His
small soldering furnace was at the
foot of dcclivity, ut the summit
of which was the tank being pumped.
BY some means can was upset
and, rolling down the incline, shed
its contents on the fire. Instantly
the tinsmith found himself in the
midst of deluge of flames, and it
is astonishing that he escaped with
whole skin and garments. In few
moments everything inhammable on
the spot was blazing, and flames
from half-a-dozen unsealed cans of
the fluid united in broad sheets of
fire, that leaped skyward and threat
cned to involve the neighboring
buildings in a coniagration. The
gathering crowd, being aware of the
dangerous nature of the combusti-
bles in the yard, stood at more res
pectful distance from the fire than is
usual on such occasions. They re-
treated still further, not standing
upon the order of their going, when
a furious burst of flame went roar
ing higher than the topmost branches
of the trees. This squirt was occa.
stoned by the fire catching the rem
nant of gasoline in the large tank,
causing it to go off in a flash and
hurl the pump from the bunghole
high into the air. Besides this, the
contents of six of the 12-gallon cans
were consumed, some of them going
off with n good deal of force.
There were stored in the yard, at
the time the fire started, fourteen
large tanks of 800 gallons, and fifty
cans of II gallons. Usually no
more than ten tanks are i'm that
place, but consignment of four
teen tanks arrived by the brig W..
G. Irwin yesterday. They were in
n leaking condition, and hence it was
decided to transfer their contents to
the smaller receptacles-thc opera

Chas. Mccarthy has fixed up tue
Astor House billiard parlors in grand
style. His cigar stand, having been
covered with CANDY paper, presents
an imposing appearance. The other
day half-intoNicated man went to
Charles cigar store and asked for
quarters worth of cigarettes. The
clerk complied with the request, but
the inebriate pushed them back and
asked for cigars. He got them,
lighted one and was walking away
when the clerk reminded him that he
had not paid. "What," said the
liquor. burdened man, 81 gave you
cigarettes for the cigars" "Yes,"
responded the clerk, "but you did
not pay for the cigarettes. "Of
course not, why should / pay for
what ! did not GET" said the light
headed man, and he walked off to
let the bartender go through an
algcbraic problem TO find out who
got the best of the racket. - Sept.
