BENT ON ARSON.
Four Attempts Within Week to
Burn a Country Store.
A DastardIy Crime That Has Aroused
the Neighborhood-C. C. Perkins
Offers $3.50 Reward.

The village of Perkins, five miles from
here, on the Folsom road, is greatly ex-
ercised over several attempts at arson
that have been made there within the
last week.
The last attempt was made on Wednes-
day night. and the intended victims are
s. III. Pugh and Messrs. Warren IL
OConnor-the former the owner and the
latter the lessees of store adjoining
Pugh's Hotel. Warren 81 OConnor
opened the store only month ago. and
are at loss to know why anyone should
try so persistently to injure or ruin them.
The first attempt to burn them out was
made week ago this evening, when
O'Connor discovered that the basement
had been saturated with oil, and some
klndling arranged over a case OF oil,
ready to be touched off. 1t was expected
that the would-be incendiary would
make an effort during that night to light
the oil, so watch was kept on the place;
but no one showed up.
On the following night, as some GUS
toners were leaving the store, they dis
covered the front OF the building to be on
fire. The alarm was given and the
| neighbors turned out and subdued the
flames. The fire had been started di-
| rectly over 50-gallon tank of Kerosene
oil in the basement, and there were sew
eral other cases of oil close by. The tank
would doubtless have exploded but for
the fact that the air-hole was open.
The incendiary was persistent. as we'll
as bold, for about o'clock yesterday
| morning the place was set on fire for the
third time. Again the discovery was
| made at an opportune moment. An en-
ploye of the place had arisen to feed the
horses, when he saw the front of the
store on fire. He aroused the proprietors
of the store and +. E. Pugh, and, as
sisted by others, they finally extin-
! guished the flames. There were evil
dences that coal oil had been dashed
upon the front of the building.
| A short time after the fire was extin-
guished, and while the parties were dis
cussing the matter they were startled by
another alarm, and this time found that a
| fire had been started in the rear of the
store, the boards of which were also COW
cred with coal oil. For the fourth time
the flames were extinguished and the
| property saved from destruction.
Perkins is a very small place, and it
would seem that it should be an easy
matter to locate the incendiary, but thus
far all efforts in that direction have
tailed. 1t looks as if Messrs. Warren q
O'Connor will have to employ waten-
man to patrol their premises every nlght
In order to avoid being burned out.
| There is considerable excitement in the
village over the affair, and G. G. Perkins,
who also has store there, yesterday
offered reward of $3.50 for the arrest of
| the incendiary.

THE banks of New York issued during
the hardest pinch of the crisis no less
than $4,000 900 of Clearinghouse certifi-
Gates. and of these $50, 900 were out
standing at one time. These took the
place of legal tender currency and saved
hundreds of institutions in the United
States from ruin. BY this issue the banks
of New York rendered invaluable service
to the whole country. Indeed, there is
no parallel to it in all financial history.
On the first day of November, two months
before the most confident looked for it.,
the last one of the certificates was taken

WE are unwilling to believe that the
Administration has resolved to aid in re-
seating the Hawaiian Queen. To do so
would outrage American sentiment. But
this Government may be resolved to re-
fuse further recognition to the Hawaiia n
Provisional Government until the ex-
preston Of the Hawaiian people has been
made at the polls. But even SO, is it not
late in the day to arrive at such conclu-
sion +? The Provisional Government has
maintained itself for nearly year. In
that time it has constantly maintained or

zens in Hawaii, preserved the rights OF

<No1
lSan Francisco Call

The public of San Francisco and of the
State will be glad to hear that the reports
printed some weeks ago of the intention
of the great hardware house of Hunting
tom Hopkins TO retire from business were
unfounded. 1t is stated by President
Gallatin that these reports gained circu-
lation, owing to the firm having made
certain changes in the manner of con-
Quoting the business, and on the account
of the desire of certain parties to form a
new company to purchase and continue
the same.
As a matter of fact, no proposition to
make such sale or transfer has been made
to or considered by the Huntingdon
Hopkins Company, which will continue
its business without change.

Those of the Moorish girls whose faces l saw
