THE OVERLOADED KAHULU|
She Sails for HonoIulu-Her
Decks Covered With Freight
and AWaSh.
A Despondent StairbuiIder Commits
Suicide by Jumping From
the Ferry.

Last Wednesday afternoon the cranky
steamer Kahului left Mission wharf bound
for Honolulu, and her appearance as she
went down the bay must have made
marine insurance men nervous. She was
freighted down till her rail was close to the
surface of the water, and she looked more
shaky than ever. Her decks were Uttered
with merchandise, and when she cast off
her lines the wharf was crowded with
freight left behind.
Even with the vessel in this condition
the crew were prevented from placi(g a
ten-ton wheel on the hatch by Federal
officer who happened along at that mo-
ment. Should the vessel encounter rough
weather on her voyage she may go down
to meet the Colima.
AS there is absolutely no law regulating
the loading of vessels in the United States
no person has legal right to interfere in
the departure OF a ship or steamer even if
the water is running over her decks" said
Secretary Furuseth of the Seamen's Union
yesterday. 1.-THE captain is limited to so
many passengers, based upon his tonnage.
but he can pile in the cargo till the state
rooms are awash if he chooses. There are
no Plimsolls in this country to cut load
line on the hulls, and the vessels will go
down from overlooking until some Con-
gresham IN his place arises to complain of
the marine losses and forces a law upon
commerce for its own protection.
Anybody can bring an old unseaworthy
vessel into this country, put her under
some new flag and load her down until her
seams start, head out to sea and let her go
in the first little breeze. Then he can col
iect mis- insurance, and no Federal inspector
has right to inquire into his work A
passenger steamer captain must carry
certain number of lifeboats, but he can
man these boats with anybody he chooses,
as the Pacific Mail does on some of their
vessels with Chinese sailors. There are
plenty of laws for the ship-owner and very
little for the rest of humanity that go
down to the sea in ships"

the handling OF bills, beg leave to report as
follows:
Our attention having been called to an
article which we herewith inclose, appearing
in an evening paper, in relation to the above
matter, we find that the information contained
in such publication has somewhat forestalled
this committee in performing its proper func-
tons. We, however, beg to state the following:
The chairman of the fireworks committee,
according to his own statement, having been
told by several fireworks companies of commits
sions being given 10 secure contracts con-
c!uded upon his own responsibility 10 try one
OF the companies to prove the truth of such
statements.
Upon reporting to his fellow members what
he had done they objected to his actions. The
committee being unable to agree, all but the
chairman of that committee handed in their
written designations to the executive commit
tee. 1t was then suggested that all the COM
mittee resign, and the fireworks committee be
abolished, which was done.
The executive committee then assumed full
control of the fireworks. The fact that all bids
for furnishing fireworks for the Fourth Of July
celebration must now come before the execu-
tive committee for action should convince all
parties, we'll as the public, that every COM
petitor will be treated with justice. Respect
fully submitted. W. T. GALLOWAY,
THEo. REICHERT.
1t was decided that the pyrotechnic ex-
hibition should cost about $1,000.
No decision was reached as to where the
mond wanted them On the bay. He
argued that there was no place where the
sight could be enjoyed by so many
people. Besides, the water front was
accessible to all the cars, so that people
would be able to return to their homes
with greater expedition than from any
other poin..
The executive committee decided not to
be inveigled into letting the fireworks
contract to irresponsible firms. To guard
against this committee, consisting of W.
T. Galloway, S. G. Hammond and Samuel
Foster, was appointed. This committee
will call upon the various companies to
find whether they can furnish the fire.
works that may be called for before the
bids of these firms will be considered.
Chairman w. IL. Davis was made a COM
mittee of one to thank the railroad COM
pany for granting excursion rates to San
Francisco from interior cities. The COM
mittee then adjourned till P. NJ on Mon
day.
A new departure was instituted in the
matter of controlling expenditures. Owing
to the great amount of matter submitted
to the executive committee a supervisory
committee has been appointed consisting
OF c. J. King, Theodore Reichert and w.
I. Galloway. Their duty will be to take
charge of all business matters pertaining
to the Office of the main committee.

MOXLEY'S TWO WIVES.
They Are Still Contending in the Su-
periOr Court Over His
Estate.

Superior Judge Hebbard was busily en-
gagged yesterday in the hearing of evidence
in the suit of Elizabeth L. Monkey against
Elizabeth W. Harrington, who also claims
to be the widow of the late pioneer, John
S. Monkey. The greater part of the evil
dence introduced yesterday consisted of
letters which were written by Monkey from
Virginia City to the defendant-Mrs. Mox-
ley No. 2-during the lively times of the
Bonanza excitement.
1t was sought to prove by the introduce
ton of these letters that Monkey had al
ways addressed her as his dear wife and
that the relations between the couple were
of an affectionate character. In some of
the letters the property on the corner of
McAllister street and Van Ness avenue.
which is considerable portion of the dead
mans estate, was referred to as the sep
arate property of the defendant. The
wording of the letters was in affectionate
terms and Monkey stated that he had
spoken of the fact of their marriage to GER
tain friends and had been congratulated.
According to the testimony Monkey mar
ried the defendant in 1868 and since then
she has always believed herself to be his
wife. She was recognized as such by his
relatives.

SMITHS FATHER TALKS.
Thinks His Son Will Return
When the Fair Estate
Is Settled.
Denies That He Is the Author Of a
Report duplicating Mo-
Glauflin & Co.

During the last week all sorts of rumors
have been in circulation concerning the
mysterious disappearance of Charles
Smith, McGlaufin & Co.'s cashier.
Whether there is any truth in this talk or
not will probably never be known salts
factorily, unless the missing cashier, if he
be alive, should come to the front and tell
his story.
The story goes, and it is said 10 be COM
mon property, that the wheatbrokers sent
trusted agent home with young Smith
each night, and that this same man, as mys-
FERROUS as the disappearance of the object
OF his care, went each morning to the resi-
dence OF Cashier Smith and accompanied
him to the office. Just what could be &C.
complished by McGlauf1in & Co. through
such proceedings is not quite clear, unless
1t be that these gentlemen hoped to pre-
vent his communicating to outside parties
any facts relating to the work of the office.
j. j. Smith has spent weeks looking for
his son, and, according to his statement, is
no nearer solving the mystery than on the
day the search began. Nearly every de-
tective agency in town has at one time or
another endeavored to probe the mystery
to the bottom, but so far all have signally
failed. All of this has, of course, cost Mr.
Smith hundreds of dollars, though he saws
that he Is willing to spend his last cent in
order to lind some trace of his missing bow
In speaking OF the case yesterday, he said:
This matter has caused me no end of trouble
and worry, and it has nearly killed his mother.
l am still searching for my boy, and hope some
day to find him. I candidly believe that his
disappearance is due TO some connection he
has with the Fair estate, though just what
that is l am unable TO determine at present.
True, the wheat has been disposed OF vet I
think there are other matters OF which know
nothing, and that can only be told by my boy.
AS regards the story that McGlaufiin Il Co
sent man home with him each night, know
absolutely nothing. 1t is possible that such a
thing might have been done, though want to
say that am not the author OF the report. OF
one thing am sure, and that is that Charley
was forcibly taken from the Office on that
fatal Sunday night Just how or why 1t was
done is mystery to me, but all the circum-
stances certainly, point to a forcible and hur-
rled exit Charley was not short in his ac-
counts. and McGlaunin & Co have never said
So The Sunday night he disappeared there
was $4,000 in negotiable securities in the
safe, which he could easily have taken That
OF itself shows that he was not behind in his
accounts. Charley will turn up all right when
the Fair estate is finally settled up.

ANOTHER COMPANY GOES.
The Delaware Insurance Corporation OF
Philadelphia Retires From the
Pacific Coast.

Another insurance company has with
drawn from the Pacific Coast after bearing
the brunt of brief rate battle and coming
to the conclusion that there is very little
here when competition regulates rates.
The latest detection from local insurance
ranks is the Delaware of Philadelphia,
founded in 1885, with paid-up capital of
$702,875.
The Delaware's business on this coast
was managed by Charles Christensen, who
was yesterday given the management of
the st. Paul Company, which came from
Mann & Wilson's office. Immediately the
Delaware risks were reinsured by the st.
Paul and that company retired. The COM
panies that have withdrawn from this field
are the Girard, Teutonia, Delaware and
Agricultural. 1t is expected that many
other concerns will be forced out of this
field.
The Springfield Fire and Marine Com
pany of Springfield, Mass, which was man.
aged by A. w. Dugan, was transferred
yesterday to George W. Dornin, who will
act as its general agent for the Pacific
Coast

both parties were present. Supper was
served in the diningroom, the bridal party
being seated at large round table, while
the guests occupied smaller tables around
the room.
The house, like the church, was dec
Grated in green and white, only on a more
elaborate scale. Flowers were scattered
about in profusion, forming pretty back
ground for the handsome toilets, the two
colors being charmingly blended.
Mrs. Bunnell is the only daughter of the
late Major A. NJ. Randol, U. S. A., and is
the center of a large circle of friends both
in Oakland and this City. The groom is a
son of Professor George w. Bunnell, pro-
lessor of Greek at the University of Cali
fornia, and native son. He is a gradu-
ate of the Oakland High School and of
the Berkeley University, and is now a
promising dentist.
The couple will make tn cir home in this
City after returning from their wedding
tour.
