FIRE ON SPRING STREET
A Millinery Establishment Quilted and Other
Stores Damaged

At $50 last evening fire broke out in
the rear of the millinery store at NO.
357 South Spring street, owned by Mrs
F. w. Thurston, and before 1t was sub
dued had completely Quilted the estap-
lishment, besides reaching out in sew
eral directions and singing one or two
other stores adjoining.
The flames originated from gasoline
stove in small shed in the rear of the
store, and spread with great rapidity
upward and forward. The stock of RIB
bons, flowers, etc, was very infiam-
mable, and in a very short time the
whole interior was roaring mass OF
fire. Upstairs is the Florence lodging
house at No. 355h, conducted by Mrs.
Graf. The rear rooms of her house were
damaged by smoke and water and the
Railways were flooded.
One of the tenants, a tailor, named E.
p. Brown, suffered the most, his room
being completely wrecked, and all his
goods destroyed. He will be out about
500 with no insurance. Mrs Graf has
some insurance, which will fully cover
her small loss. The place at No. 1855 on
the north, occupied as Green's fancy
store, was damaged by smoke and lit
tie by water. Mr.. Green estimates his
loss at several hundred dollars, fully
insured.
Mrs Thurston's stock is gone, moth
ing being saved, the flames making a
clean sweep. She valued her goods at
nearly $4,000, and carries some insurance,
but just how much she did not know.
The suddenness of the affair and he.
loss brought on a nervous attack, and
she was unable to give any account of
how the flames did originate.
The rear portion of fish market 'front.'
ing on Fourth street was also damaged
to a small sum in perishabe stock. The
loss on buildings will be small. as the
interior of the storeroom at 357 Is not
badly damaged, the flames consuming
principally lot of old shacks and sheds
piled up in the back yards. The firemen
did good work and had the flames under
control in very few minutes after ar
irving.
A panic ensued among the dodgers up
stairs when the alarm was given, and
they began moving out in short order.
They went back however, as soon as
the smoke cleared away, congratulating
themselves on their escape.

FOUGHT ON THE STREET


Ozro w. or willie" Childs and w. L.
Hastings, two we'll known young society
bloods of this city. had a falling out yes
terday at noon in front of the Hollen-
beck hotel, and came to blows, as a re-
suit of which Childs' face was cut and
Hastings has a decorated optic which
will not resume its normal condition for
several days
Childs was passing along Spring street
toward Second street and met Hastings
going In the opposite direction. They
stopped and exchanged a few words.
when suddenly hostilities were precipi-
tated. Hastings is said to have been
the aggressor, striking Childs twice be-
fore the latter could recover himself.
When he did he came back al Hastings
and landed a good blow in the face
which knocked the latter some feet.
Before the combatants could gather
themselves to go at one another again
bystanders interfered and stopped the
row. Both men hastily left the scene
of action, Childs with blood oozng from
his lip and Hastings with an eye get
ting ready to close up shop. The whole
affair occupied but a few moments and
is said to have originated over a dis
pute about some stocks which Chlds
had placed with Hastings to be sold.

IN THE POLICE COURTS
Both Justices Kept Busy In Handling the
Crowded Docket


The police courts were kept busy yes
terday, a big grist of petty offenders
facing the music Justice Owens handled
the new cases, while Justice Morrison
spent his time in endeavoring to clear
his docket of the accumulated contin-
uances. Ernest Kelly was to have had
trial on two charges, one of petty lar
ceny and one of misdemeanor. Under
the name of Bomby, Kelly advertised
for lady stenographers, to whom he
could supply positions. Several called
and from them he collected $3.50 each
and sent them to the Pacific Coast Mer-
camille agency, on First street, to get
their jobs and pay further $3.50 de-
posit. This firm had no positions for the
ladies, and told them so; neither had
they any connection with Kelly. Upon
these transactions the misdemeanor
charge is based. The petty larceny COM
plant is for the theft Of a shotgun from
the Tufts-Lyons Arms company. Trial
on both charges was set for next We'd
nesday, the 9Th, at a. m.

ANOTHER CONTINUANCE GRANTED
The Examination of hezakiah and Van Horne
Postponed Until Monday

Great disappointment was exper-
fenced by large crowd which had gath
cred yesterday morning in Justice Nor
rison's courtroom, expecting to hear the
continuation Of the examinationIof Har-
ry Hezekiah and Billy Van Horne for the
murder of Edward White. Owing to the
continued indisposition of Detective
Goodman, Deputy District Attorney
Jones was obliged to ask for further
time as Goodman was in no shape to
stand long siege on the witness chair.
The continuance was accordingly grant
ed until Monday at $3.50 a. m.
A motion was also made by counsel
for the defendants that their clients
have bail fixed, stating that the evidence
thus far brought out was so weak that
they thought defendants entitled to it,
The district attorneylmade no objections
and the court fixed bail in the sum of
$4,000 each. When Hezekiah and Van
Horne were brought into court in the
morning each was presented with q
handsome bouquet of flowers by some

Woodson Smith is a young man or boy
who evidently was possessed of a desire
TO properly celebrate the Fourth, but
took a poor way of gratifying his i'm

o'clock yesterday morning on North Main
street, charged with breaking into a
stand and stealing lot of firecrackers.
A burglary charge was entered against
his name. but the complaint on which he
was arraigned in court alleges petty lar
ceny.
Justice Owens heard the boys plea of
not guilty and set Monday at D. m. as
time for trial. Meantime he allowed
Woodson to go on bail of $50, so that he
can still be as happy as possible on the

A Fable Of the Times

A Certain Horse that had eaten Grass
for Many years with Great Satisfaction
found himself up the Horns of Dilem-
ma.
The only Pasture just then Available
had, Growing up in 1t, Noxious Weed
which was Extremely Distasteful IL
seemed Almost Impossible to Separate
the Grass from the Weed, and the Poor
Horse did not know what To Do.
you are a FOOL said the Hog, OBJ

Like Me? 1 can Eat Anything
What would you Have me Do? asked
eba Perplexed Animal, Eager for Ad-
DO as Do" grunted the Hog. If
the Grass is not to your Liking, Eat
Husks."
After Turning this Counsel over Seri-
ouslv in His Mind the Horse came to the
Conclusion that he would Better, perhaps
change His Diet But at the Last MO
ment' being a Thoroughbred Horse, his
soul reyolted against the Husks and ne
Went back to his Natural Food. The
Hog found him Eating the Grass ano

Lay in his Power.

THE SILVER MARKET

In careful resume of the increased
demand for silver the Mining and Sci
entific Press of. San Francisco points out
the perpetually growing shipment of the
white metal not only to the old world
but to the Orient. THE fact" says the
Press, that all the silver we mine is
readily sold shows there is no over-pro-
duction. There is demand for all we can
produce. This shows the senselessness
of the talk about this country being
flooded with silver from Europe. In
stead of diminishing, the demand for
silver from the Old World has been in
creasing. Recently shipment of no less
than thirty-two tons of silver bullion
was. made in one day"
The same authority continues to show
the imperative addition to the stock of
money among all the silver-using ma
tions of the Orient, owing to the rapid
increase of manufacturing Industries,
particularly in Japan. Within few
years, siXty-one cotton mills, with 1,500,-
900 spindles, have sprung up in that
country, and recently silk factories with
half a million spindles have been organ
lied With such development the ne
cessity for a constant increase of the
stock of money is apparent. Before the
demonetization of silver they would
have to pay US SIPS for each ounce of
silver bullion, whereas by the outlawing
! of silver in 1873 they are able to buy at
about half that figure.
although" says the Press, "our silver
is now in brisk demand in the Orient and
| France, Germany, Russia and other
| European countries, we are shipping IT
across the sea and turning it over to the
| Lombard street money sharpers at their
own price. There is no reason why we
| should not be receiving the old price for
| every ounce of silver we produce. We
have only to return to our old monetary
system and the money of the Constitu-
tion and at once silver will command its
| former figure-the price previous to de-
| monetization. There is no swifter cure
| for the stagnation and retrogression now
| upon the country. 1t Is idle to talk OF
| prosperity under single standard tina
necessitates for its maintenance the bor-
rowing of hundreds of millions of dol
lars. IT is ruinous and on a par with th'
SPIDERS production Of web by spinning
out its own bowels. The hundreds o
millions have been borrowed and brough
to our shores, but SO far as the people
large are concerned the gold might JUS

promised prosperity we have but deep

gave Scotland her name.
AS for the name Bryan or OBr1en,
they are both Irish, but the O Briens are
