If the circumstances are correctly
reported, Speaker Reed went quite "A
distance out of his way last Thursday
To get a crack at the Blaine family.
James g., Jr., ms clerk of the foreign
affairs committee, entered the house
TO deliver some papers to Chairman
Hit of that committee, and lingering
a moment or two tn speak to a page he
was suddenly addressed by an assistant
doorkeeper, who said the speaker had
instructed him to see that young Blaine
withdrew from the floor. The son of
his father was inclined to resent the in
suit by remaining, but the speaker, the
rules and the assistant doorkeeper were
against him, and when the last named
functionary took him by the arm he
left without more ado. The career of
the junior James has not been such as

ton of the American people, but IL is
m open question whether he is SO

in that state is Ave years. and the case he

Paxton might not have had the audacity
To rob his companion of fifty or one hun

only five years for stealing $780, 900.

EIGHT STORES BURNED.

"A Big Blaze on Hotel Street at Midnight
saturday-Chas. Hall Loses His Life.
The dread fire alarm rang out
again just before midnight Satur-
oay, summoning the fire department
10 Hotel street, between Fort and
Nuuanu streets. Between Horns
bakery and Gonsalves' brick building
there are nine stores, and when the
nremen arrived there eight of them
were on fire. The fire started as
near as can be found in the rear of a
furniture store kept by Portu-
guese, where was room occupied
by Chinese. The probability is that
some of them were there smoking
opium. Nothing definite can be
learned. The eight stores were &C.
cupied as follows, commencing from
Nunanu street direction: w. Miller,
cabinet maker; BARRIERS shop, Portu-
guese; shoe store; BARRIERS shop;
Chinese coffee shop; furniture store,
Portuguese; Loo Joe, tailor; Wo
Hop, coffee saloon. Next to the lat
Ter store is the building best known
as Ramsey's grocery store.
The fire spread with amazing rap
idity and the flames were exceed
ingly fierce. The department res
ponded promptly and soon Nos 1, q,
4 and China companies had streams
on. The fremen did splendid work,
and it is owing to their efforts that
Mr.. Horns premises were saved.
They are covered with galvanized
iron which was a great protection.
Some houses in Fowler's yard were
saved by number of trees being be-
tween them and the fire. Within
twenty minutes of the alarm the
department had the fire under con-
troll. The eight stores mentioned
were burned so as to be useless.
Unfortunately the fire was attend
ed with the loss of life. Chas. Hall,
at one time an express driver, who
had two wooden legs, was burned to
death. What remained of the body
was found in room over Miller's
cabinet store. An inquest was held
Sunday morning by coroner Chas.
y. Hopkins and the following jury:
III. Barber, N. P. jacobson, A. Petrie,
j. 3. Comes. j. ii. Bruins, George
Champion, Jr., and M. E. Silva.
From the evidence of Manuel Mel
deiro it appears that about IL o'clock
Saturday night he put Hall to bed in
the room in badly intoxicated con-
dition, and that was the last he saw
of him. The jury returned a verdict
that Hall came to his death accident
ally by being burned in the fire of
Saturday night. =
