plain About Them.
At the meeting Of the Fire Committee Of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday, acting
Chief Sullivan was asked to explain how it
was that thirty-one hydrauts had been
placed about the city without the authority

Mr.. Sullivan began by stating that the old
hydrants sometimes are broken and have to
be replaced. The committee did not care to
hear about these replaced hydrants, but in
sisted upon an explanation in regard to the
thirty-0ne new MIGRANTS which the board
had not ordered, and which had been placed
by order OF the Fire Department.

ceedings take the usual coursep

Mrs. johnson was not convinced of this,

It Must Pay the Losses OF Guests
Through the Big Fire.
The burning of the Hotel del Monte was
recalled yesterday by the filing of an opinion
in the Supreme Court affirming the judg-
ment obtained by Mrs. Mary L. Fay against
the Pacific improvement Company for
clothing, jewelry and money lost on that
occasion, Plaintiff in the case claimed a
sum OF $4,000 and recovered judgment for
SLIGO and costs.
The peculiar features of the opinion are
that the court upheld plaintiffs contention
that the hotel was public inn, aud that in
the absence of evidence showing that she
was boarder the presumption of law is
that she was guest. and consequently must
recover, especially as 1t was not proved that
the burning was the result of "superhuman
causes" which no exercise OF prudence or
caro- could prevent.
The court also held that the property lost
and recovered for is such as the plaintiff
needed for her present personal use, and
that guests In such cases may always retain
the custody Of iewelry or valuables carried

against Notary Public James j. Green. and
the sureties on his official bond, William

him on January 18th last and there and
then made and executed a certain lease to
the Grand Central Hotel property on Market
street 10 one Pulscnen for term of years,

Nleigment to negotiate loan of $1,000
from the plaintiff.
This he now seeks to make the notary and

Serious riots in the north characterized
the last weeks of May. at Wuhu Chinese
woman complained that she had lost two
children, and foolish rumors were spread
that the Jesuit fathers had killed the chill

mob stormed the little cathedral belonging
to the fathers, set fire to the place and sew
eral houses belonging to the mission. They
also attacked the British consulate, and the
Consul had TO fly disguised as coolie.
There being no aid at hand from the British
fleet, the foreign residents were exposed to
considerable danger. as the Chinese author

Three Chinese cashiers in Batavia have
fallen into the hands of the police on
charge of dishonesty. This event has led to
the inquiry why European cashiers should
not be substituted for Chinese ones. The
suggestion has often been made but has
rarely been found practicable, owing to the
Chinese having, as it were, an Unborn ca
pacity for cashiers work from their know
ing how to handle money quickly and cor
rectly. Besides this, the heavy securities
which banks and other commercial houses
demand from their cashiers put the post
beyond the reach of most Euro peans.
