Light and Power the City of
Honolulu will require, and, as
we now have some six large
wiring contracts to begin on,
as soon as the Australia gets
in with a big lot of assorted
wire, we would call the atten-
ton Of those wanting ELECTRIC
LIGHTS in their Houses at an
early date to the advisabilty of
having the wiring done soon.
As only a limited number of
good house wire men are to
be had, contracts for wiring
will have to be taken up in
turn in the order received.
After the Australia gets in
we will have a complete line
of everything needed to wire
any building, including Elec-
troliers, Brackets, ETC., and a
large assortment of plain and
fancy Shades.
@Leave your order ear
ly and have the satisfaction OF
having your House ready for
the lights when the current is
turned on from the New Sta
ton now under way.

President Cleveland has removed

Collector OF tho Port OF Philadelphia,

vacancy. The change coming SO soon
after the election mas led to the re-
mark that it looks as II lie wished To
punish the Republicans for the big
majority they gave against his party
on the 18th inst However, as Mr.
Cooper was allowed to serve iivt
months over the term Of four years,
perhaps there is no reason to complain
that vindictive motives inspired his
action. The Philadelphia Record In
abiding to tho matter says:

MITCHELL WEAKENED.
The English Pugilist Had a Chance
to Bind the Big Match.
BuTHE WOULDN'T BREAK THE LAW

Manager brady Has Signed the Articles
on Behalf Of corbett. and They Now
Only Await tho Sanction Of the other
Side.
NEW York, Nov. i5.-The admirers OF
pugilists and pugilism had plenty of ex-
element in the "Tenderloin" district last
night. Mr.. Harry Mason. of jacksonville,
Fla, entertained Charlie Mitchell, Jim
Hall, Steve O'Donnell, Billy Thompson,
manager for Mitchell, and few other
friends at dinner in the Gednsy House.
About o'clock the party went up stairs
TO private room, were they were Joined
by Colonel Bill Harding and Manager
Edwards, of the "Romany Rye" company.
Manager Billy Brady came in few min
utes later, representing Corbett.
There was . quiet tip out that the ar
ticles Of agreement for glove contest
would he signed by the pugilists or their
managers, and it was thought that they
would be signed then and there. Repre-
sentatives OF the press were requested to
leave the room and few minutes later
the entire party came out. Mitchell said;
"Fm not going to sign articles in New
York, and l won't leave New York to sign
i
owed and l do not wish TO violate the
law, as will surely be arrested"
Manager Brady said; Il agree with
every word that Charley says, and VIC have
no doubt that the match will come off not
withstanding all this talk"
Mitchell, with his manager, accompan-
led by w. f. Edwards, together with a
number of others, walked leisurely down
Broadway.
Billy Brady Joined the party and said
he believed Mitchell did not want to fight.
why, / have signed the articles" he
said, land there is no excuse for the other
side"
The party then went to the Hoffman
House. Here they were Joined by Joe
Vendig, better known as "Circular Joe"
who is closely identified with the Dwycr
brothers.
Mitchell, Vendig, Mason and Brady
held heated conversation. Mitchell in
sisted that the fight should not take phase
until Jan. 25, 1894, while Brady wished to
have it take place on the the original date,
Jan. 4, but he finally agreed to the 25th.
Then Mitchell said, How about the side
betsgn
"What about the $4,000 posted in Bos-
ton with Mr.. Blnnchardf' said Brady.
"Oh, WELL If you want to place me that
way" said Mitchell, "Why will put
up 5000 Of that as side bet and s., 600
more as forfeit If don't appear in the
ring, and want this money covered"
Brady, who seemed anxious to have his
man Coebett get chance to fight, CON
coded everything, but Mitchell impressed
all those present with the belief that he
was trying to put forward every obstacle
in his power to prevent the fight taking
place.
Friends Of both parties tried to have the
match settled on the spot. Brady was
willing, but Mitchell was not, and would
not sign. ...... ....-.... +
Il is understood that the articles will be
signed by Mitchell or his representatives
1 in few days.
