The rest gives an account Of the progress
made in the survey since 1874. There Is
much information Of great interest
within the small compass Of twenty-tour
pages of printed matter, and probably

MELVILLE MULCT.

Hon. John 4. Cummins' Judgment
Against the BaIIoonist-Private Rent
Recovered for a Public Park
A good deal of sympathy has been
aroused for Prof. Melville the aeronaut,
on account Of his prosecution by Hon.
John A. Cummins for 5000. engaged to
be paid by the former for the use of k&-
piolani Park to make two balloon ascen-
sions in. After the failure on the first
Saturday the balloonist apparently
feared to invite the public all the way
TO the Park on the second Saturday.
He, however, neglected TO notify Mr..
Cummins that he did not want the Park
the second day, and therefore Is con-
demned to pay 800 for the use that he
did not make of the ground in question
A member of the Hawaiian Jockey
Club was asked If it was not rather hard
that a public Snowman should be charged
such a high price for the use Of public
park and then be prosecuted with the
utmost rigOr for payment after he had
made an unfortunate failure
The reply was that the Jockey Club
rave Mr. Cummins the use Of kapIOlanl
Park for his birthday celebration, and he
had no business to let it for money TO a
third party. It was probably the work
OF Mr.. G. BoIte, his agent, who wanted
to do a smart thing" the speaker added.
Judging by some talk heard, the incl
dent may result in united popular OPP
position at next election to any candidate
who Will not pledge himself to vote
against every subsidy to kapiolani Park,
except on condition THAI the race track
viii be unfenced and entirely open to the
public on all occasions.

Mr.. John +. BOwIer's Carriage House
Burned with Valuable Contents.
At s 20 yesterday evening the fire
alarm sounded for blaze reported in
Palace Walk The flames were visible
from all over the city as the first strokes
were sounding. a wooden building Of
81 by 20 feet, erected by Mr.. John F.
Bowler and belonging to him, on the
premises owned by Mr.. Lazarus, corner
of Likelike street and Palace Walk, was
all on fire when the fremen arrived with
characteristic quickness at the spot In
the meantime number OF the Kings
Guards, under the direction of Major
Sam Parker, had begun pulling down
the fence that was conducting the flames
toward other buildings.
The fire was put out in a few minutes,
but the building was completely demol-
ished. IL amounted to little in itself, but
its contents were valued at about 81 900
They consisted Of art models in plaster,
moulds, tools, asphaltum roofing, etc.
There is insurance of 81 900 on the build
ing and models, in the Union Company
of New Zealand, represented here by
Hon. J. S. Walker. Mr.. Bowler went
away recently in his bark Kalakaua for
Hongkong, and Mrs. Bowler left the
house on the premises where the fire
occurred, for a house on King street,
after her husbands departure. The
contents Of the building burned were to
be moved within the next few days.
There was no clue to the origin Of the
fire. Many people saw it before the bell
rang. Mr.. L. L. La Pierre, who was
passing the premises, was one OF these
and sent in the alarm.

LAW AND LAWYERS.
The End OF a Celebrated Case-Acker-
mann vs.. ongdon-COngdOn W.
Ackermann.

The End OF n Celebrated Case-Acker-
mann VS.. Congdon- Congdon vs..
Ackermann.
On yesterday, Mr.. F. A. Schaefer,
Agent of Captain Ackermann, paid over
to Messrs. Ashford & Ashford, attorneys
for Congdon, $500 in consideration for
the cancellation Of bond for that amount
given by plaintiff in the first of this cele-
brated series Of lawsuits, in which Cong
don was capiased, and for which actions
were subsequently brought, which have
been running uninterruptedly through the
Supreme Court, in various phases, for
the past two years. Congdon's attorneys
once settled the matter with Mr.. Schaefer
for 81 900, but their principal, contrary
to advice, declined to ratify the settle
ment; and the litigation, from first to
last, has probably cost several times that
amount on both sides.
It was in connection with COngdOn's
arrest on the first suit that the cele-
brated contempt case was instituted
against Messrs. Whitney and Atkinson
of the GAZETTE wherein the doctrine Of
Constructive contempt" was fully judi
cialIy defined by our Supreme Court.
And it was in view of the dangerous
power allowed the judges, by this deCi-
sion, that the act was introduced land
subsequently passed by a large majority
in the Legislature Of 1888, putting a
statutory prohibition upon punishment
by constructive contempt. During the
debate on this question the Supreme
Judges received a tremendous scoring at
the hands of some honorable mem bers-
particularly that OF the legal profession.
Ii our memory serves Us rightly AttOr-
ney-General Ashford was the only law
Yer in the house who spoke against taking
this power from the judges land he backed
mp his arguments by voting against all
the other mem bers Of the Cabinet, on
divisIon-taking the ground (as in Eng
and and Canadal that the dignity Of
Courts Is destroyed by curtailing the
power Of the judges, against whom the
proper remedy IS impeachment, for such
excuses of authority as the majority
alleged [but which he denied) our Su-
Preme Court Judges had committed.
Among the important doctrines Of law
settled duriug the continuance Of this
case is this that in cases Of false arrest
in capIas, malice and want Of probable
cause must be shown, the same a. in
malicious prosecutions doctrine not in
accord with that OF English and Ameri-
can Courts, as it is claimed. And among
the important effects, IS the above-men-
tioned-the only legislation in the Ha-
wajian Code, upon the most important
subject Of 3" constructive contempt"
