Mrs. Beckley, curator of the
Museum, kindly opened her house
to Mr.. j. Amara, Representative
elect for Waialua, and Officer Wond,
of the Police force, with their fami.
lies, when they lost their homes.
Pieces of charred paper fell on
the premises of Mr.. G. j. Lyons,
Punahou, on Sunday evening. Large
cinders also fell up Nuuanu avenue
and at Palama. Had the wind been
high burning brands instead of dead
cinders would doubtless have spread
destruction far and wide.
Mr.. Fred. Dat probably has an
eye to business for the Pacific Navi-
CATION Co., when he recommends
the application of Fanning's Island
guano to the burnt district, in order
TO make new town sprout.
Mr.. J. Williams photographed the
scene of the conhagration Monday
morning, from several points.
One OF the few white families, il
not the only one, burned out on Sun
day, was that of Henry Drysdale, who
works in the foundry. His wife and
young family only came here from
California two weeks before the fire,
and they were just comfortably set
tied down when the disaster came.
They lost II great deal of their effects,
chiefly in clothing and small articles.
The King has recognized the SER
vices of the British men-of-war's men
at the fire, in an autograph letter to
Captains Abingdon and Blackburne,
of the Satellite and Heroine.
Deputy-Marshal Dayton has had
one OF the Offices in the new Police
Station temporarily fitted for holding
the Police Court sessions, until the
court room is finished.
An arrangement has been made
between the Government and the
owners OF the new structures going
up in the burnt district, whereby the
buildings are to be replaced within
reasonable period by erections in con-
formity with the new regulations.
The buildings are being put up by
Mr. James Odds (on the site of the
Empire Saloon) and Mr.. John f.
Colburn (on his lot on King street,.
The Rev. E. G. Oggel reports dona-
tions from two persons, neither Of
whom is a member of the Bethel con-
gregation, of $500 each for the build
ing OF new church. A good start
certainly and one that should give a
strong impetus to the liberality of the
members of the Bethel Union.
A curious incident of Sunday
night has Just been heard of. Some
reckless persons entered the store of
Quong On Kee & Co., Nuuanu street,
opposite Freeth & Peacock's, on the
night above mentioned, and with
axes cut off the combination knob of
their safe, which OF course prevented
the opening OF it even by those who
knew the combination. The depre-
dators were evidently bent upon
getting money, but were batiled by
their ignorance of the structure and
mechanism of the safe.
Mr.. X. More has been busily en-
ployed in opening safes that had
passed the ordeal of Sundays fire,
principally Macneale & Urban's, for
which G.. o. Berger is agent. Some
of these safes had been exposed to
great heat and We're badly damaged
on the outside, but in every case the
contents were in state of complete
preservation. Several of Halls safes,
for which Geo. Engelhardt is agent,
were also opened, some by the COM
bination. Their contents were in
good condition. One from the store
of Quong Ing Sing Il Co., corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets, had Il
license certificate pasted inside the
door uninjured. Papers in the
drawers were not even scorched.
The movables belonging to the
Sailors Home were carried out on
Sunday evening, and deposited in
front of the Post Office. Mr.. Laing,
manager of the establishment, re-
ports large lot of new towels and
bed linen missing. The most of the
bed linen was marked "Dunscomb,"
and towels and pillow cases marked
"Laing." After the alarm was over,
it was further discovered that the
baggage room had been broken open,
and the contents of trunks scattered
about. Three boxes OF fowls were
also taken, some of them being
Spanish, and of extra value.
Theo. III, Davies, Esq, writes to
the advertiser" of Friday, recon-
mending the raising of fund for
the relief OF sufferers by the late fire.
Following is the final paragraph of
the communication elf this pro-
posal finds generous response, |
will gladly be one of five contributors
of I'll 900 each, or one of ten contribu-
tors of $500 each, and | venture to
think that a subscription list so COM
menced would be literally supported.
| trust that this proposal may be
considered OF sufficient interest TO
justify the calling of meeting Mt an
early date for the Inauguration of a
general relief fund, and the appoint
ment of committee for carrying il
into execution"
