the extent of over $213. 900. The first fire
broke out in the malt house of the Hinch-
cliffe Brewing Company. a six-story build
ing containing 100000 bushels Of grain. At
one time 1t threatened to sweep through the
entire brewing establishment. While this
was in progress another fire broke out in the
Machinists' Association building, at Broad
way and Prospect streets. This building
was occupied on the first floor as a ma.
chine shop and in the upper three floors as
a SILK mill. When the excitement was at the
highest third fire broke out in a dwelling
house on Marshall street, and this building
was burned to the ground on account OF lack
OF facilities for fighting the flames.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN PENNSYL-

Many Derricks, Small OIL Tanks and
Engine Houses Burned-Three
Fires mt Paterson, N. j.

BRADFORD, Pa, May 1.-THE hemlock
slashings that escaped last summers forest
fires are now a roaring mass of flames in
the oil fields south of this city. A fierce
fire broke out Saturday afternoon at the
Dent farm in slashing. after the men en-
ployed by the Emery Oil Company had left
for their homes dn this city. A large gang
OF men was sent from here Saturday night
to fight the flames, but the fire had gained
such headway II was impossible TO check
its progress until II spread to thirteen oil
wells owned by the Emery Oil Company,
the derricks OF which were burned, together
with a number of small oil tanks and boiler
houses. The men are still trying TO pre-
vent the flames from spreading to the
South Penn Oil Company's wells, which are
dn close proximity. Should they get start
In that direction the loss will be heavy,
and there Is no telling where 1t will stop,
as the derricks are thick and a large amount
Of oil is stored in small tanks, which would
add materially to the destruction of valua-
bic oil property. The woods in the vicinity
Of Buchanan hollow were ablaze yesterday.
A gang of men succeeded in stopping the
fire from spreading further than Bishop &
Johnson's lease, but not before two der
ricks were burned to the ground. Small
fires are reported In various parts of the
oil field, and the people are much worried,
owing 10 the fact that everything Is as dry
as finder. The surface is so parched that
large crevices are noticeable all through
the forests. Not a drop of rain has faflea
In nearly month, and there is no indica-
ton of II as yet. The hemlock woods, two
miles west of Ellisburg. Potter county, are
reported az being on fire and threatening

Honse OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

Rep. Richards reported for the Print
ing Committee that House bill No. 81,
relating to duty on sake, had been
typswritten.
Sake bill taken up for consideration
in third reading and passed.
A communication from the Senate
announced passage in third reading of
House bill No. %, income tax, and
House bill No. u, relating to land del
eterious to public health, also concur
renee of the Senate in certain sections
of Senate bill No. 46, Loan Act, and
asking that a conference committee
be appointed.
The question regarding carrying of
freight by inter-island steamship COM
panies, as pTOpOunded to the Attorney
General ad interim by Rep Robert
son, were answered as follows:
First QUESTIONABLE you aware that
the two interisIand steamship compa-
MES are in the habit of discriminating
between the different shippers in the
matter of freight rates upon similar
kinds of freight?
Answer-The Department has had
steamship companies were discriminate
ing in the matter of freight charges
Upon investigation it is found that
freight rates vary from $1.75 to So per
ton, weight or measurement at the OPP
ton of the company; the freight
charges depending upon the class of
freight carried, the distance carried.
the facilities for landing and handling
the same. and the assistance rendered
by the cOnsignees. The companies
claim that they do not discriminate
against freight handled under the
same conditions as regards quantity
frequency OF shipments, and assistance
rendered in landing all parties being
treated equally.
Question 2-Have said companies
being common carriers, any right to
discriminate?
Observation-Disclosures on the part
of common carriers, in either freight
or passenger rates, is undoubtedly il
legal
Question Can the Executive do
anything to stop such discrimination?
Answer-The Inter-isIand steamship
companies are Hawaiian corporations,
but hold no franchise from the Gov
eminent and are not subject to con-
troll, except as provided by the general
laws. L find nothing that would give
the power to the Department TO inter-
fere in matters of discrimination. 1t
would devolve upon the party injured
to bring such action as might be neces-
sary, in the courts, to determine the
question. HENRY z. COOPER.

There's two sides to the
question. Prices on depend
able goods were never SO low
| as noW-and here. Of the
vagarieS of trash, we keep
no tally; but certainly poor
goods are not to be COESid-
cred when the best goods
are selling in many cases at
half what you've been used
to paying for them.
You never in your life
heard of Samian ware selling
as cheap as we offer it. Fancy
"a handsomely decorated Sa-
milan tea pot for q half dol
lar. A tea pot that is good
for service and is an Orna-
ment for any table. In this
ware we have all sorts of
things; chocolate pots, coffee
pots, tobacco jars, match
boxes and stands for the tea
pots Samian ware is new
here and you will like it.
Another thing you know
as Cameo ware, but which is
really WedgeWOod. This is
in flower pots, flower vases,
jugs, cups and saucers and ash
trays. These are in blue and
white and black and white.
Another thing that will be
found of eStimable value to
the housewife is an Edgar
nutmeg CRATER at q quarter.
1t is the best CRATER you ever
saw, because you can't sCrath
your fingers.
What about a mo Slam"

Now as to Billy g., Lord BROCK
and Antidote, all three of which
were put up at auction yesterday
OF course no one knows what will
be done with the first two, but
then, Chinese puzzle can some
times be solved.
There arrived in the city by the
last Australia a little colored man
who, when in training, weighs but
ninety pounds. 1t is said by the
sports that ninety pounds is all he
weighs now. Then he must be in
training. If that is the. case it
must be for Billy {. and Lord
Brock, for there is nothing else
in sight when all the transactions
regarding the importation Of the
jockey into the country are taken
into consideration.
Bob Issom, the jockey referred
to. is celebrated all over the
United States as being Il crack
rider. He was ruled off the track
in the great California races of a
short time ago, but has since been
reinstated on account of INSULT
cient proof against him as being
one of the jockeys who pulled
certain horses. Bob is staying at
Sans SOuci with his valet and will
probably turn up smiling on the
18th Of June. if not before.
As for Antidote, he will prOba,
bly, make good his name in a dose
administered by some of his OPP
pOnents.

HORSES AT THE PARK
Training for June Races at KapiO-
Iani Track.
Issom, the Celebrated Jockey Bobs Up
Serenely-Paul Isenberg's FiIIy VIII
Not Enter-BiIIy G.. and Brock.

The 18th of June is only a very
few days hence, but to the sport
ing fraternity it seems years to
that date. The horses at the race
track have been III training for
some time, and now the trainers
and Jockeys are beginning to as,
sumo a very reticent attitude. If
YOU ask one Of them why such and
such thing is done at such and
such Il time he will rObably tell
you to mind your own business
in language stronger than those
words indicate. The horses are
being watched as carefully as
children in the cradle, and every
indication means this or that to
the anxious trainers and Jockeys.
prOminent among the trainers
and jockeys is Cal Leonard, "a
jockey Of renOwn in the country,
who has charge of the following
of Col. Spalding's horses, now
at the track:
Duke OF Norfolk, out of ROsita
by Kealia. FOaIed June 3, 1888,
Amethyst, out of Amandine
by Kealia. FOaled June /, 1890.
Amaranth. out of Amandine by
Kealia FOaled June /, 1891.
Defender, out of Amandine by
Kealfa. Foaled May 4, 1893.
Ballota, out of BalIota by Kea-
liza. FOaled May 10, 1889.
Charles David, who has been
spending the last month or so
travelling back and forth between
Lahaina and this port on business,
says he is coming down next week
to stay until after the races and
TO see what he can do with the
following horses:
Billy Button, whose pedigree
is so well known and who is still
owned by J. f. Humberg.
LOttie L., the property of John
Holt.
Samuel G.. WiIder's Alvina, by
Eros aut of Nettie NutwOOd.
Paul Isenberg's sorrel filly, by
Marin. out of a mare Alexander.
In regard to this last horse
there seems to be much doubt as
to her being entered in any of the
races. She made a good record on
the track the other day and all the
horse owners have taken the mat
ter to heart, declaring in favor of
ostracizing Mr.. Tsenberg's filly.
The only thing left for her to do
will be to run loose in the pasture
and wait for a more favorable
turn. Her ambition in making
the fast time spoken of was an
unfortunate break.
Walter Bagby has charge of
Gus Schumann's Judah and Billy
NOrtOn's Black Ralph. The lat
ter animal was sired by Black
Ralph and is an importation
from San Francisco. He has new
er been on the track in this coun-
try before. and is thought by
some to be in the nature of Il very
"black horse"
1t is thought that Halstead's
horses will be up from the country
in time to make a showing on the
18th of June.
Tom Hollinger will probably
not lose the opportunity of enter
ing Margaret II. in the lists, nor
is it likely that he will forget lit
