BRADY REFUSES TO RESIGN.
The Committee Has other Charges, but
Pears TO Spring Them.

Capt. Elmer 4. Brady. of Company D.
First regiment, y. q. W.. has not yet COM
piled with the request of his company for
his resignation and now declares that he
will not resign. This reduces the commit
tee which has had charge of the move
ment against him TO find some new means
of forcing him out or of giving up the fight
The members have not shown any hesita-
ton about admitting that other and more
serious charges could be made than over
bearing conducts and too strict enforcement
of discipline, but when an attempt Was
made to get them TO toll what these charges
were they have either shut up completely
or put off the disclosure 20 some other day.
The fact IS the committee is in predica-
ment
The facts in regard 20 the other charges
have been learned by the Posr-ISTELLI-
GKScKR without the aid OF the committee,
and they explain the reluctance
of the committeeman TO trust their
tongues. These facts relate TO
the statement made by some members of
the company to n Posr-ISTKIIIsEsSER re-
porter the other day that a voucher which
had been tampered with had been
discovered among the company's papers.
The committee has all along denied
that this voucher had anything to
do with the demand for Cabt Brady's
resignation, in fact, contrivod to receive
orders from Col. Green TO say nothing
about IL. but other members of the COM
pany admit that il had great deal TO do
with the matter.
Early this year Col. Hatfield. manager
of the Armory, wondered why the rent Of
Company D's quarters had not been paid
for the preceding October. November and
December, aud asked some Of the members
about il. they looked the matter up and
found what appeared 10 be voucher for
that quarters rent, bearing the signatures
of Col. Hatfield and Cspt. Brady. Ii vas
handed to Col. Hatfield, who immedt-
ntely stated that IL was q foFg-
erv. the date and number having
been changed. IL was compared
with the stubs in the book. which are re-
ouired to be exact dupiicater. sig
natures and all. The alleged forg-
erv YES numbered So and Was the
exact counterpart of No. stub. except
toy the date aud number. Voucher
No. should have paid the rent tor
the last three months OF lS92, but
would not have peen signed BY Capt
Rradv. as he Was not then member
of ths com pany. liz was then sup
noSed that this stub was thar OF
spoiled voucher which had been signed by
Col. Hatfield and not destroyed, another
heinr flied i'm 20 take its place.
Brady acknowledged 10 the com
u,ittse that he signed this vouch-
or. but said he must have done
40 under the impression that 10 was an
other one. There was no trace OF any
money having been draSn out Of the
treasury in payment of this voucher. and
therefore nothing vas done about the
matter az the time.
It's in connection with this matter that
the further charges are talked OF, hta the
committee Is evidently afraid THAI u can
not make out case, for lt IS d n glnS baek

NOT DIPHTHERIA.
An Erroneous Report Made to the
Board Of Health.

4 little son of Captain McAlister,
of the Pele, died yesterday morn
ing of diphtheretic sore throat. In
some way the death was reported
at the Board of Health as diph-
liberia.
DR.. Brodie, the attending phy-
stefan, was seen last evening, and
said that he did not understand
how such q report could have been
made.
The child died of a diphthe-
retic sore throat, and not of diph-
liberia. There is a great difference
between the two, one being conta-
gious and the other not in the
slightest catching. There have been
many cases of this sore throat re-
Gently, and if the present state OF
the weather keeps up there will be
many more. But it must not be
called diphtheria. There has been
but one epidemic of the latter dis
ease here. and that was a mild one,
about five years ago. There Is no
necessity for anyone to become in
the least frightened"

II. Z. Walker came very near
losing his racing wheel yesterday
afternoon. He had lent it to
Fred. Angus, and while the latter
was coming in King street hack
horse got frighented at the wheel,
and Angus lost his head and fell
off the bicycle. The wheels of the
hack passed over the machine,
bending the handle bars, injuring
the seat, and generally knocking
the bicycle out. But Walker says
be will have it repaired in plenty

4 RUNAWAY CAR.
One Of the Trans Turns Over on
Nuuanu Avenue.

One of Paine's palatial cars had
another accident yesterday. This
time there was, very luckily, no
one in the car except a Portu-
guese boy, and he was not injured.
However, he only escaped by a
miracle.
The car was coming down Nuu-
anu avenue when the brake rod
gave way. The driver was unable
to stop the car and when the switch
at the corner of School street was
reached, the car was going at a
tremendous rate OF speed. 1t
jumped the track and rolled over
into the gutter.
One of the mules managed to
keep out of the way, but the other
was terribly injured. It's leg was
mashed and its side was badly cut
by the wheels of the runaway car.
But, very fortunately, neither the
driver nor the passenger was in
iured. Had the car been full OF
people the damage would probably
have been fearful.

A Conversation
On Cut.Rates

Good morning. You are still
cutting prices l hope, for | wish to
make purchaser
Yes, we are still cutting. We're
going TO continue SO long as the
public desire it. They seem to like
purchasing a soc patent medicine
for less than the established rates.
We are glad to serve them; we want
their business and we want their
goodwill"
Now, will you please tell me what
led to this cutting?"
There are several reasons. We
wish to reach ont for more business.
There's no better way than to offer
goods of best quality at sub bottom
prices. That's always trade bring
err. In this we have not failed
in our purpose for we have observed
a material increase during the past
month. We have new customers
come to US every day. They are
certainly getting their moneys
worth here.
Another reason was, that two drug
firms made combination to boycott
US because we gave cash customers a
liberal discount A boycott usually
ends contrary to the aim sought, and
the last conditions prove worse than
the first. We have cut below our
competitors prices and we are under
selling every house in our line"
You say they tried to boycott
you?"
Certainly"
"Well that's sufficient. You'll
have my trade in future. Good
morning"
The foregoing conversation took
place in the drug store of

HAVE THEY COME BACK .?
A Small, but RakiSh, Graft Ap-
pears off KOko Head.

\ small, sloop-rigged boat was
reported off Koko Head yesterday
afternoon. It seemed to be trying
to beat to windward, and to get
away from Oahu as fast as posi-
BILE. But later, the report came
that the boat was coming toward
the harbor. Inquiry at the Pilot
Office, however, elected the fact
that the little craft had come near
ly to the bell buoy, and had then
beat off again to the southwark.
1t is generally thought that this
is the boat in which West and
Sproat, the ex-soldiers, had started
for Samoa. Charlie Peterson, the
Diamond Head lookout, reported
that the craft was a trim-looking
little vessel, with a house aft, and
entirely new sails. It is thought
possible that the two hardy voy-
ayers had become sick Of their trip
by two nights experience on the
vastly deep, and were perfectly
willing to come back and take
their chances here. However, up
to the hour of going to press they
had not entered the harbor, and
the chances are they will lay out
side until picked up by a passing
vessel.

A SONG OF THE TIMES.

Out in the gloomy night sadly l roam,
/ have no mother, no pleasant home,
No one cares for me; no one would cry;
Even if poor little Bessie should die.
Weary and tired I've been wandering
all day, :,
Asking for work, but I'm too small
they say,
On the damp ground | must now lay
my head;
Fathers drunkard, and mother is
dead.
We were so happy till father drank
rum;
Then all our sorrow and trouble begun !;
Mother grew pale and wept every day,
Baby and l were too hungry to play,
Slowly they faded till one summer
night,
Found their dead faces all silent and
white;
Then with bitter tears dropping, l
Fathers a drunkard and mother IS
dead.
On il the temperance men only could
f1nQ
Poor wretched father, and talk very
kind;
II they would stop him fpom drinking
then,
I should be very happy again.
Is it too late, temperance men? please
try
Or poor little Bessie must soon starve
and die,
ALI the day long I've been begging for
bread,
Fathers a drunkard and mother is
dead.
