A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Anaconda Celebrated In n Quiet, Whole
some Way.
Anaconda people celebrated tho holiday
yesterday, although there was no special
observance of the day. The stores closed
for all or part of the day, and the business
men and clerks took a rest. The popular
amusement during the day was skating,
though some took advantage of the light
fall of snow to have sleigh rides.
In the evening the dances and theater
received attention from many, and sew
eral family parties and social gatherings
we're held in the homes about the city.
The new year was welcomed at mid
night by sounding whistles and fusillade
of shots from revolvers, guns and cannon
hrecrackers.
The day passed quietly and By the citi-
gems OF Anaconda the new year 1895 was
we'll and pleasantly begun.

several days large shipments from the
cities mentioned have been received, and
the price was. far above the prices which
prevailed previous to the cold wave.
This last freeze came in the nature Of a
surprise to the fishermen, most Of whom
had tarred their nets and sent their mon
to the fishing shores in anticipation of a
spell of good weather and a large catch.
These men are at the fishing shores, be-
ing fed by their employers, and the early
start made by them will prove rather ex-
pensive to those operating the several
shores. When the ice clears out Of the
river these nets will be put at work, and
then the dealers expect that fish will come
in rush in time for the Lenten season
Just now the dealers depend upon the
North Carolina fish for their supply.

BUGS OR BACTERIA.
Opinion of Citizen of Maui Regard
ing Importation Of Hay.

A rather amusing tale comes
from Maui regarding certain hap
penings at a meeting of the citi-
zens during the thickest of the
cholera epidemic here. a discus
sion regarding what articles of
freight should be received on Maui
was In progress. II am in favor of
ruling against hay" said a thought
full citizen. unlike other grains
it is loosely packed. Now what's
the matter with the cholera bugs
getting into the hay and crawling
out on people when it arrives here?
Now, gentlemen, 1 believe we
ought to use every precautlon
against these dangerous bugs, and
as L suggested before, keep hay out
of Maui" There was a suppressed
laugh in the room and the discus
sion was continued by physician.

UNLUCKKY YACHTING PARTY.
Forced to Land and Arrested for
Violating Health Regulations.

A jolly yachting party started
out from Sans Souci early Sunday
morning with the intention of TAX
ing a sail down to Pearl Harbor,
returning in the afternoon. Ill
luck seemed to be the portion of
the party. 1t took ten hours to
sail down; added to this it was
found that the boat leaked. This
made it necessary for them to land,
after doing which they sent for a
wagonette to convey them to the
city. a message to the effect that
they had landed at the Peninsula
was sent by the phone to the Board
of Health office. They were given
a permit, and summons to appear
in court and answer to the charge
of violating Board of Health regu-
Iations"was served on the partly.A
about II o'clock last night the
party arrived in town, somewhat
chagrined over the whole occur

CHOLERA AT INSANE ASYLUM.
Native Drinks Taro Patch Water.
Dies From the Effect.

The last case of cholera proved
beyond a doubt the existence of in
lection in the taro patches near the
Insane Asylum. Paahao, a native,
ffty-three years Of age and an in
mate of the Insane Asylum, was
taken sick at 3 80 p. m. Friday.
DR.. Herbert was summoned and
found that the man had taken
drink of water from the tarc patch
in which he and other inmates of
the Asylum had been working dur
ing the cary part of the day. No
symptoms of cholera could be dis
covered. The man had been vom-
iting but that was nothing unusual
under the circumstances. Another
summons to the effect that Paahao
was much worse reached DR.. Her
bert about $50 o'clock Saturday
morning. Examination proved
that the man had developed
a clear case of cholera. He
was removed to the hospital
where the physicians in charge
concurred in the decision of DIR.
Herbert regarding the case. Paa-
hao died at 6 30 p. m. of the same
day. Both of the latest cases have
succumbed to the ravages of the
disease. Palma, the old native
woman from Kikihale, died Friday
night at 10 40 o'clock. Stringent
measures regarding water near the
Insane Asylum, have been taken
by the Board of Health. The taro
patches will be destroyed and the
water drained off.

BEARDSLEE IN DANGER.
The Admiral Will Have Hard
Time While in Puget Sound.

WASHINGTON, September IL
The Washington Star tonight
prints the following: "The Phila-
delphia, flagship of the Pacific Sta
ton, has dropped down to San
Francisco from Mare Island Navy
Yard, preparatory to making a
cruise along the North Pacific
Coast, including a visit to ports on
Puget Sound. Admiral Beardslee,
commanding the station, will ac-
company the vessel on her trip.
ut will require the exercise of
the greatest diplomacy and tact for
him to avoid giving offense to the
rival cities of Tacoma and Seattle.
If he should happen to show the
least preference for one over the
other, or should keep his vessel in
one port a minute longer than in
the other, merry war would result,
and the matter would undoubtedly
be made the subject of a munich
pal complaint to the President.
Gan official Of the navy depart
ment says that the only way in
which Admiral Beardslee can hope
to escape storm of indignation
from one of these cities, is for him
to anchor the Philadelphia at a
point midway between them, with
a gangplank leading to each city,
and even then he can hardly hope
to escape the charge of discrimina-
ton. For these reasons the cruise
of the flagship will be watched
with interest by naval officers who
have been there"
