march of events had gone beyond the
Governors writing in respect to this.
| While his message was in the printers
hands, the practical end of the suits
and the triumph of his own policy
had come, in the act of withdrawal of
the New Jersey Central from the COM
bine. Yesterday. the suits reached
their climax in the decision of the
Chancellor that a receiver should be
appointed for the New Jersey
Central If il should not prove
its absolute withdrawal from the COM
bine. This great accomplishment
brings Leon Abbett's term of service
to the State to a fitting close. 1t is a
grand climax of success which gives
completeness to the work and rounds
out the record as one not only of de-
votion to the public interests. but of
the fullest success
Governor Albeit conaratulates the
people on the present condition of
the State. To the Governor, individ-
ually, belongs the principal praise for
this very condition. He goes out of
Office full of honors and followed by
the gratitude and goodwill of every
honest citizen, and there is no bet
ter wish with which one can hail
his successor than that, when his turn
comes to step down and out, he may
be able to leave the State as happy,
prosperous and progressive, and may
take with him the same high popular
affection and regard that are the
need of his predecessors career.
Mr.. RECORD, joking, was a great
deal wiser at the Cosmos Club dinner
than the lady he criticized was, in
earnest, regarding the ideals and as
pirations of the Sorosis type of
womanhood. 1t would hardly be
going too far to say that no good
thing ever came out of Sorosis and
the kindest thing that "a be said of
the ladies who belong to it-many of
whom are otherwise excellent-is that
they are more to be pitied than con-
demned.

All Com Tries to Poison

She Puts q White Powder i'm His
Rice, but an Emetic Admins
tered Saves His Life.

A woman's jealousy nearly sent Lo
Gong to an untlmely grave last night.
Lo is the keeper of brothel in Cum Cook
alley, and among the women there was
one who showed in many ways that she
loved him passionately. Her name is All
Com, and she has The appearance of hav-
ing white blood in her veins. She is taller
than the ordinary Chinese woman and of
striking appearance.
Lo Gong, although the keeper OF a den,
is married man, and his wife and family
live in house on Stock on street. He did
not reclprOcate All Gums passion, and her
love began to turn to hate.
The inmates of the brothel partook of
dinner last night COMPOSED entirely of
rice. All Com presided at the table and
served out the rice In bowls. All ate
heartily and seemed to enjoy it with the
exception Of Lo, who turned suddenly
sick at the stomach. He took hasty
glance at the bowl which had contained
MS rice and noticed a white substance on
the bottom. just at this moment All Com
snalchei the bowl from the table anu
hastily rinsed ii out with hot water.
Lo yelled In Chinese that he was poi

Friends soon rushed in, and while one

The sergeant and one of his squad ac-

Engagement of the Alice
Blanchard.
Her Charterer Pays $500 a Month
While She Lies Idle in
Port.

About year ago the Playa de Orc Min
ing Company. doing business at Esmer-
aida. Ecuador, and having its head office
at New York, concluded that 1t would
charter a vessel to take about $4,000 worth
of machinery from San Francisco to the
mine at ESmerada. Frederick w. Eaton,
a local commission merchant, was notified
and he enlisted the services of Frederick
Holmes, ship and freight broker, to effect
a suitable charter. NJ. Holmes looked
around and found that the steamer Alice
Blanchard, owned by the Tacoma Bank,
and lying at Tacoma. was ready for sale or
charter.
Mr.. Holmes chartered the Alice Blaneh-
ard on his own account for $500 month
and an additional $500 month for insur-
ance. The Tacoma Bank required bond
of $50, 600 for the payment of tue charter
money and the safe return of the steamer.
Holmes lad no money himself, but he in
duced William E. Mighell. the ship-o wneT,
to go on the required bond.
After securing the steamer Holmes re-
chartered her to the mining company at a
considerable advance, and in February
last sent Captain johnson to Tacoma to
take charge of her AMI brig her down to
this port. The steamer left Tacoma on
March %, and on April 5 she put into
1aQulna Bay on account 3f heavy south
tas gale. On entering the bay the steamer
ran ashore on a sand bar, near he south
jetty; her rndder was carried away and
she commenced to leak. She was towed
off on April Is and taken to aQuina. Her
cargo IF $3.50 sacks of wheat was ira s.
ferred to the steamer Willamette Valley
and brought down here.
In May the tug Wizard Was sent up to
tow the Blanchard to this port, which she
did. arriving here on May % The boat
was thoroughly repaired. aud then Mr..
Holmes notified the mining company that
he was ready TO fulfill his contract. The
mining company refused to have anything
Ia do with the steamer, however, claiming
that there had been too much delay, and
Holmes and the surety on his bond had an
elephant on their hands. The boat was
laid up in Oakland Creek ami the Tacoma
Bank continued to draw $500 month
under its contract. Holmes brought suit
against the Playa de Orc Mining Com
pany, claiming damages in S11, 900, and at
tached some sheet iron which the defend
ant had In this city.
1t was learned Yesterday that the Bank
OF Tacoma had consented t. take the YES

Contraband Cigars From Honolulu
Are Seized.

For some time past Collector OF Customs
Wise has been suspicious OF sailing vessels
coming from Hon olulu, and his suspicious
proved correct enough Yesterday.
The barkentine ). n. Castle, Captain
Hubbard. arrived about A NJ, and, in
pursuance Of plan outlined by Mr.. w Use,

Norman went out on the tug Hartley and
hoarded The newcomer. After great de al

The cigars were in two cases that were

The officers took possession of the smok-

the craft or her Offices for the reason that
the law does not reach any one except per-
sons who bring conttaband goods ashore.
The cigars were seized for being concealed
and not appearing on the ships manifest.
This Is the biggest cigar seizure that has
yet been made on a Honolulu trader, ana

GREYSTONE ALLIANCE.
Thirty-Ninth District Democrats Or
ganiZe a Club.

The Democrats of the Thirty-ninth
Assembly District - that is, some of
them-have girded up their loins and pol
ished up their armor for the great battle
that will be fought a year hence. They
say that they ara neither Buckley nor
anti-Buckley, and could not possibly be in
duced to confess that they are both.
Their organization, which was perfected
last night, will be known as the Greystone
Alliance and will meet, until the election,
on the second and fourth Tuesdays OF
every month.
The alliance declares in the preamble to
its constitution that it recognizes no dis
tinction among Democrats; that it will
not in the future permit the use of terms
intending TO cast 0dium upon the one and
reflect glory upon the other. Every Dem
ncrat enters this club upon an equal foot
Ing with his neighbOr, Irrespective Of past
affiliations or party differences"
The Alliance declares that it favors
honest primary elections and demands
that each Democrat shall be permitted to
cast one vote. and insists that that vote
Eh all be counted.
The preamble denounces the creation of
centralized p0Wtr and the existence of all
permanent committees not directly emanat-
ing from tine people, and declares that local
patronage shall be distributed equally
among the Assembly districts to the end
that party workers shall be rewarded in
proportion to the service rendered.
Unlimited nepotism in public Office" is
deprecated as detrimental to the best in
terests of the party. and the employment Of
Republicans by Democratic officials is con-
demned as a betrayal of the trust deDosed
in such official by the party.
Walter Gallagher, an attorney, called
the meeting to order. which tran sacted its
business in an eminently un-Democratic
harmonious way. Gallagher resigned the
chairmanship early in the evening, and
was elected a member of the executive
committee by unanimous vote. The fol-
lowing permanent officers were elected,
and the Alliance adjourned: President,

PhiIbrook Badly Scored.

Judge Coffey settled the long-standing
dispute over attorneys fees Ia the Levin
son estate Yesterday.
He decided that Henley and McSherry
had been properly engaged by Philbrouk,
an that $500 would satisfy their claims.
The Judge reminded them that the only
reason why lie did not allow them the full
amount asked for $4,000 was that the es-
tate was small and had been already con-
siderahly eaten into.
I'VE don't care about the amount of the
fee" said Barclay Henley. 'All we want
is for the court TO vndicate our conduct in
the matter"
The Judge remarked that in his opinion
Henley and McSherry had acted with per-
feet credit to themselves, and he strongly
deprecated the action taken by PhilbroOk,
whose conduct was utterly unreasonable
and unjustlhable.

TIM is ON TOP.
Tracy Chosen From the
Thirty-First.
A GENERAL COMMITTEEMAN.
Walter Gallagher Organizes the Grey
stone Alliance in the Thirty
Ninth District Last Night.

Timothy Tracy represents that element
of Democracy which does not insure har-
mony at all times, ana by reason of this
announced prediction he has been forced
to remain in the political background for
a much longer time than the Tracy Split
adtudged suitable His particular yearn-
ing at present is to gain a seat in the gen.
eral committee, ana a few weeks ago he
outlined arrangements" that would in
sure the attainment of his one dear OBJ
ject. Mr.. Tracy does not love Mr.. Pepper
with that deep sincerity which would seem
to strengthen the long-reaching hold OF the
craftsmanship of the general committee,
and with a full knowledge of that uncer-
tain alteration Mr.. Pepper has Eot lost any
sleep of late in an endeavor to further Mr..
Trscy's ambition.
Mr.. Tracy lives in the Thirty first As
semoIy District, and, in order to gain
ascendancy. it was necessary for him TO
secure election to the committee from TIL
province. A few days ago he saw a
chance and last night he embraced it. j.
J. McTernan, member from the Thirty
first, was anxious TO resign; in fact, he
said be intended to remove from the dis
trct. This intention came to Mr.. Tracy s
ears, and he a once laid plans to capture
the coveted place. His opponents were
equally active, but they did not start soon
enough. Mr.. Tracy and his friends Sc
cured a combined strength that numbered
fourteen votes, but his antagonists could
only muster ten. So. when the meeting
of the committee was called TO order last
night MIR. Tracy was duly nominated to
fill the vacancy caused by McTiernan' 5
resignation, and the foui teen votes de-
cided the choice OF the aspirant.
The ten opponents voted loud and long,
but their voice was too weak in cOmpaTi-
son. TIE vote was upon a TollcalI-di-
rectiy against the law Of the general COM
mittee, which says that all vacancies must
be filled by ballot. After a motion to ad-
jnuru had prevailed. Mr.. Tracy. with con-
siderative tact, moved to reconsider the
vote, asserting that he saw shadow OF
doubt in the vote by which he had been
chosen. His inSincerity was so apparent
that not even his friends vouchsafed a
second, and the triumph of Tracy was
temporarily established.
Tax-COllector Block sent down SOD in
the sha of a two months clerical posi-
ton. The magnanimouS tender was deli
cately received and put up for bid. On
rising ballot it was given to Michael
ODnnnel, an aged and enthusiastic bearer
OF the Democratic banner. After an un-
pleasant exchange Of repartee between the
factions, the committee adjourned.
