TO WIDEN DIAMOND STREET.

Ninety Per Cent OF tho Property Owners
Want 1.-THE Improvement viii Be
Made Next Spring sure-An Ordinance
Being Prepared.
The widening of Diamond street, which
has been but happy dream to thousands of
people for several years, will be fully real
lied within a year. Diamond street will be
expanded into one of the most beautiful as
well as most popular thoroughfares in the
business part of the city early next spring.
In fact, the ordinance authorizing the work
to be done is already being prepared, and
will be presented to Councils during the
present month. The necessary majority in
interest required by the new street law has
been secured, and the owners of 80 per cent
of the frontage on the street have signed the
petition to have it widened.
When this greatly needed Improvement
was Dst proposed a little more than two
yeafyago, only 10 per cent of the abutting
property owners were far-seeing enough to
appreciate its benefits and to sign the
petition. 1t was necessary for q number of
publlc-spirited men to 60 in and buy
enough property to make the one-third in
interest required under the old street laws
to such a petition before it could be pre-
sSulcu W COuuCllS- " HCu tuc OTulHdHCt
was passed there was lively opposition, and
the matter was being hopelessly fought in
the local courts when the Supreme Courts
wet blanket fell on the street laws
and temporarily killed the Improvement
Subsequently an ordinance providing for
the widening was presented and de-
feated, in order that no obstacle might exist
when the new law should be complied with.
This has been more than done now. Own
ers have awakened to the Importance of the
new Diamond street and no difficulty was
encountered in getting good majority for
the improvement. As an evidence how the
property is being gobbled up by business
men whenever offered the case of the Black
& Baird purchase adjoining the Opera House
is quoted. They bought two lots few
days before the first of April, taking posses
sion and securing tenant on the 1st. Five
weeks later they had erected building on
the proposed street line, and the first day
the place was opened 300 persons were fed
by the new tenant.
The great strides made IN the erection of
Office buildings in this city shows the value
of downtown property as clearly as do the
advanced rates in recent sales The rapid
ity with which the Dalzell, Ferguson and
other big office blocks were filled by desira-
BILE tenants within few months shows that
there is room for more of the same charac-
ter, and it will be surprising if something
of that kind Is not soon planned for Dia-
mond street, the coming downtown business
street.

Tho Aifbrakes Building to Be Again Oc-

The Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company are making extensive
preparations to handle the increased busi-
ness of the concern. Manager Bannister
stated Yesterday that the company had
three plants in full operation, one in this
city, one in Newark and third in New
York, but they are inadequate to supply
the demand and force of men had been
put to work on the old airbrake works in
Allegheny, which will be in shape within
80 days for the manufacture of electrical ap-
pliances.
This information will be good news for
Allegheny. The shutting down of the works
by removal of the Airbrakes Company to
Wilmerding was serious blow to owners of
houses, which will partly be repaired by the
new industry

Until that question is decided arbitration
will be impossible. He also said that the

CREEDE IN DIRE DANGER.
A Timber Fire in the Mountains Threatens
the Mining District.


CREEDE, June "a timber fire broke
out on Bachelor Mountain yesterday after
noon and has done a great deal of damage.
Several acres of valuable timber. badly
needed by the mines, are destroyed, and the
fire is still raging, 1t broke out near the
Hidden Treasure shaft house, and burned
rapidly in all directions. A large force Of
men from the mines has been out fighting
the fire around the mines, and it is thought
the buildings can be saved.
Much uneasiness is felt in the towns, as q
change in the wind is liable to burn Bache-
lor City. Even Creede is in danger, and
word comes that the Park, Regent, the
Stanhope and other properties in that
vicinity have been cleaned out of timber
and shaft houses. The rapid spread of the
fire and the intense heat drove the men
from the workings, and several narrow
escapes from death are reported.

THE HONOLULU CONSPIRACY.
What Has Been Done With the Plotterl
and How It May End.

and How It May End.
HONOLULU, Juno 2.-The trial of 20 people
charged with conspiracy to overthrow the
Government is in progress. The trial COM
menced May % before Judge Dote, of the
Supreme Court, sitting as Committing Magis-
trate. The case was postponed until May
26. Then the Government presented charges
against the revolutionists, charging them
with traitorously attempting TO raise a re-
bellion. The defense presented demurrer.
claiming there was no evidence to sustain
the charges. The demurrer was overruled,
and May so the evidence in the case was
heard. 1t is the general impression that the
evidence brought out warrants the COM
mitment of the prisoners for jury trial, not
perhaps oD charges of treason, but with n
lair show of conviction on the charge of
conspiracy. The penalty for treason is
death; for conspiracy, imprisonment not to
exceed ten years and a fine of $1,000. On
June the prosecution rested, ami the feel
ing here IS that the conspirators will be
expiated.

yesterday on a warrant issued by Alderman
McKenna on charge of embezzlement pre-

Hynes was taken to Jail for hearing to-
