EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
The COrnwelI Residence Burned
to Ground.
Action of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Incendiary - Insurance.

Fire was discovered in the Cornwel
premises, King and Piikoi streets, at
a. m. yesterday, by c. B. Wilson, and
an alarm sent in. Mr.. Wilson stated
yesterday that he arose about 8 O'Clock
to get a drink of water, when he no.
ticed the blaze. He Immediately dress
ed and went around to a neighbor's
house to telephone the alarm. The fire
was blazing rapidly and he had some
difficulty in getting central to under
stand him.
Six minutes after the message was
received at the bell tower the engines
were on the ground, one at Beretania
and Piikoi and another at King and
Piikoi. When Chief Hunt reached there
a minute or more ahead of the carts,
the entire building was a sheet of
flame, and stiff breeze blowing from
the northeast, and the building so far
gone that it was impossible to stop the
fire. Twenty minutes afterward the
roof fell with crash and the embers
shot up in the air like a display of
pyrotechnics, the wind carrying them
around on King street beyond the Bick-
erton premises.
The fire burned until nothing but
portion of the northwest end remain
ed, the wind seeming to carry the
flames to the front.
The origin of the blaze is shrouded
in mystery and it is doubtful if it will
ever be definitely known how it began.
The dwelling has not been occupied
for three months, and for two weeks
past Lucas Bros. have been making ex-
tensive alterations and improvements.
finishing one wing yesterday and leav-
ing the premises at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, leaving their tools in a room
on the mauka end of the building.
These were entirely destroyed. There
had been no plum bling work done and
there was no fire or furnaces used in
the work. The natural inference is
that the fire was of incendiary origin.
The Japanese who has been acting
as caretaker locked the doors and win
dows at o'clock and went away for
the night. A mounted patrolman pass
ed the dwelling at 2:3O, going up Piikoi
street. He saw a man going along the
street, but there was no fire visible on
the premises at that time. Mr.. Wilson
did not see anyone when he went to
telephone.
The premises were insured for So
600 in the Manchester Fire Insurance
Company, F. w. Macfarlane, agent. He
stated yesterday that the building was
being remodeied preparatory to occu-
pancy by John S. Walker. Major Corn
well will rebuild at once and Lucas
Bros will hand in an estimate for tho
work today.
There were not a great many persons
present, owing to the fact that the COM
munity did not understand the mean
ing of the Electric Company's whistles.
They were loud enough to be heard at
Kalihi, but the people generally
thought it was from one of the island
steamers.
Marshal Brown will investigate the
fire today.

Sewen Speaks.
Mr.. SswalI thanked Governor Stone
for the courteous terms of his message
and for his kind expressions, and then,
in a brief and dignified speech, following
the same line of argument as his chief,
accepted the nomination and tndoresd
the platform, promising to use every eff
fort of which he was capable in support
of the principles involved
Mr.. Sewall finished his speech at 1045
o'clock.
When he sat down the audience set up
a cry for Tillman, but Tillman, although
present, did not respond. People began
to crowd forward as seats in the fore
ground were vacated, and nearly all the
audience was gathered around the press
seats, which separated them from the
rostrum. So great was the confusion
that hardly anybody heard Chairman
Danforth announce that the meeting was
adjourned. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan ran the
gauntlet of handshalking admirers. and,
with Mr.. st. John, regained their carriage
and were driven to the Bartholdi hotel
where a crowd was waiting to hear
promised talk from the nominee.
Special overflow meetings were held on
lower Madison avenue this evening under
the direction of the Bryan and SeWall
club of single takers and the Bimetallic
league. There were eight separate stands
and more than a dozen speakers. 1t was
estimated that the aggregate attendance
at the overflow meetings was 10000 The
speeches were devoted to the denuncia-
ton of monopolies. the advocacy of the
interests of the working people, the retor-
nation of the tax system, equal rights
and the election Of Mr.. Bryan to the pres
idency.

A gentleman of Carrollton who has

room, says the Baltimore Sun.
The hotel was the "Rustler's Rest" at

A CLOSE CALL
A New Orleans Man Comes Near Being Lynch
ed for the Rape of Year
Old Girl.

Columbus, Ca, Aug. ia criminal as
sault was attempted al an early hour this
morning upon the person of the 6-year-
old daughter of Mr. George w. Crouch,
a farmer living just north of the city linn
it's by an unknown white tramp. The
man called at the house about o'clock
and secured employment pulling fodder
in field near by. Shortly afterward the
little girl passed by and was stopped by
the man. He is said to have made an at
tempt TO induce her to enter the field with
MIN, and upon her refusing laid violent
hands upon her. Her screams brought
neighbors to the scene, frightening off
the tramp.
Shortly before 8 o'clock this afternoon
strange white man was arrested in the
city answering partially to the descrip-
ton. He was identified by the child and
also by the mother as being the man who
asked for work. Preparations were inn
mediately commenced to lynch him. The
man gave his name as Il. J. Sykes, hail
ing from New Orleans and said that he
had come to Columbus Monday in search
of work. With a leather halter about his
neck and confronted by a score of threat
ening faces he protested his innocence
and offered to prove by a number of rail-
road men that he was not in the neigh
borhood al the time of the attempted
rape. He was finally placed in Jail 1t is
believed by most people that 1t is case
of mistaken identity, and there seems lit
lie reason to doubt but that he will be
turned loose today. In the meantime the
authorities are on the lookout for the
real perpetrator of the crime.

GOVERNOR OATES FRIENDS
Think That He viii Have Enough Votes in the
Democratic Caucus to Make His Elec-
ton Safe.

Montgomery, Aug. 12.-(Special.)-
Some friends of Governor Oates today
counted over the list of the members of
the newly elected legislature and have
arrived at the conclusion that the gov
ernor lacks only some five or six more
votes for senator to have majority in
the caucus of the democratic members.
The legislature is largely for free silver,
but 1t is claimed that in addition to the
sound money vote in the caucus Gov
ernor Oates has promises from sufficient
silver men to bring his vote up as stated.
Governor Oates friends are of the opin-
ion that he will consent to vote for a free
silver bill If he Is so instructed, although
he does not pretend to be believer in
the 16 to 1 theory The governor has
never Acknowledged that he was gold

CONTINUED DRY WEATHER
viii Cut the Cotton Crop Fully
20 Per Cent.
LATE CORN is SUFFERING
For Want of Rain and Is in Fact Burning Up.
Potatoes Promise Good YieId-Cane
Suffering.

Montgomery, Aug. 12.-(Special)-Ev-
cry week crop conditions in Alabama are
reported more unfavorable. 1t is stated
that the cotton crop about here Is fully
20 per cent off. and the prospect is be-
coming worse all the time.
The following report of Section Direct
service bureau for Alabama relates the
condition of the crops in the different
sections of the state:
Montgomery, Aug. II, 1896
During the week ending August 10 the
weather over this section was almost a
continuation of the hot and dry condi-
tons of the previous week, the day tenn
perature ranging high up in nineties,
and was at 100 at Pine Apple on the 4th
What little moisture that was received
was in the shape of very light and scat
tered showers, except in a few isolated
cases, where heavy local thunderstorms
occurred, and washing rains did more
damage than good
Cotton has continued to deteriorate I'M
der the hot, drouthy conditions, and the
bright promise of a few weeks ago for
more than average yield has changed to
a very gloomy prospect, as rust Is still
plentiful and shedding is general over the
entire state, some correspondents report
ing even half-grown bolls dropping off,
and the crop on high, sandy land is in
many localities damaged beyond recov-
cry. Picking is progressing, as the cot
ton is opening prematurely, but the pres
ent outlook is that the yield will fall far
below an average one.
Late corn continues to suffer for want
of moisture, and is reported as burning
up; and the opinion expressed last week
that corn would be short crop is sub
stantiated by this weeks reports. Fod-
der pulling is about over in most coun-
ties, and large quantity of this forage
has been saved.
Cane and sorghum are beginning to feel
the effects of the drouth, and will also be
cut short unless a general rain is soon
felt; pastures are drying up, and fall
planting is being delayed, but peanuts
and sweet potatoes still promise good
yields.

The Record Climbing.

1t seems as If the weather bureau
wants to make a record this year so high
that it will be nearly impossible to reach
it. The oldest inhabitant" does not re-
member when we have had such con-
tinued spell Of hot weather, and now
comes Ben M. Jacobs to observe that the
weather bureau yesterday gave us an
other record breaker, 1913. The last
days Of July were almost unbearable,
and on the 31st the thermometer regis
tered 101. We therefore experienced 3
more heat yesterday. There Is no abate-
ment of the heat wave over the entire
country, and locally there is no change
noted. The thermometer at o'clock
last night was at 80, but indications were
for slight local showers, which 1t is hop
ed will give us some temporary relief
