THREATENED TO KILL.
Second Mate of Ship ]. b. Thomas
Performs Queer Antics.

Second Mate of Ship j. b. Thomas
Performs Queer Antics.
The report of a revolver from
the ship J. b. Thomas late Satur-
day evening sent mounted patrol
men hying in the direction of the
vessel to ascertain the cause of
the firing. Upon arrival it was
found that the watch aboard had
spied some one sneaking away in
a boat from the side of the vessel.
He called two or three times, but
failed to receive any answer. In
stead, he could see that the boat
was speeding away at a great
rate toward the railroad wharf.
Lieutenant Wells and another
mounted patrOlman hurried over
to the railroad wharf and there
found the second mate of the
Thomas just in the act of getting
out of the boat. A native boat
boy had been his companion.
Upon questioning him the follow
ing story was learned: The mate
had hired him to row around to
the ship. Upon arrival there the
mate climbed aboard, and after
securing a bundle of clothes got
into the boat again. Just then the
watch aboard spied them and
called out, but the mate made no
answer. Instead of that he
threatened to kill the boy of he
did not row faster. Finding that
the boy could not row fast enough
to suit him he took the oars him
self and increased the speed re-
markedly.
When questioned at the police
station by the Deputy Marshal he
would make no satisfactory an
sWer, saying that the Police De
partment had no right to arrest
him. An officer was despatched
to the ship and received orders
from the captain to lock the man
up until Monday, when he would
be up to attend to matters.
1T is the belief at police head
quarters that the mate was trying
to desert.

Peculiar Character of Freight on

Peculiar Character of Freight on
WarrimOO Yesterday.
While discharging some Homo.
lulu freight from the WarrimoO
yesterday it became necessary to
shift several cases consigned to
the Occidental Novelty Co." of
Sydney. In doing this two of the
122 cases marked in this way were
put in q sling and raised from the
hold, preparatory to putting them
on the wharf. As one case was
very large and the other quite
small, they slipped from the sling
and fell with a crash.
The contents of the small box
proved to be a number of old
shoes and a few lasts; the larger
box had a very small one inside,
fastened in the center so it would
not wObble. Packed around the
box were a half dozen ordinary
red bricks and a lot of excelsior.
just what line of business the
occidental Novelty Co." trans
would be difficult to imagine
from the contents of the two
cases.
The shippers of the freight, a
gentleman and lady, were pas
sengers on the steamer.

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $f.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and APP
peaIs to everyone OF common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul doors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the duty-dOing it
well. Can w show you the Ideal
Automatic Distributor? Our Mr.
Washburn will call, if you'll tele-
phone TO

asserted that the New York committee is
in sympathy with the receivers in their
position. and lively fight over the matter
is predicted.
The probability of an immediate issue of
receivers certificates to the amount of So
100000 is also being discussed. and some
wel-tnformed people go so far as to say
that application has already been made to
the courts for authority to issue them.

1t is understood today that there has
been an entire change of program in the
Pacific railroads bill. The first of the week
it was given out that Speaker Reed had
consented to give the committee alI.the
time it wanted. 1t is said now, and on good
authority, that the friends of the bill have
found that the opposition to it is so strong
that it will not do to call it up at this ses-
sion. Several Representatives who ap-
preached Speaker Reed today to ask for
time TO speak on the matter were told that
it was not thought that the bill would
come up.
The opponents of thesmeasure have been
doing some strong personal work within

now than ever that they will be able to
give the bill a warm reception should it
