RESIDENCES BURNED.
Suburban Property Again Visited by
the Torch.

Suburban Property Again Visited BY
the Torch.
An alarm of fire this morning al
l:30 o'clock from box 251, the
Mission Hose company, brought
the fire department. to Delmal
street in South Heights where the
residence OF Mrs. /. F. Holcomb
was ablaze. Owing to the dis
lance the fire companies could not
do much good and the building
and contents were completely des.
troyed, The property was valued
at $1,000 and was insured fol-
$llOO. The cause OF the fire Is un.
known.
Mrs. Holcomb was the mother OF
the little newsboy who was
drowned some months ago under
the Commerce street bridge, and
was left a widow a few months
ago by her husband dying Of con-
sumption.
The department had scarcely re-
turned to their stations after the
fire when the summons again
came, at 2:30 q. m. from box %,
situated on the corner Of West
Commerce and Medina streets.
The department promptly respond
ed, but the fire, which was in the
home of John Routledge, at 23l1
West Commerce street, had gained
considerable Roadway, and the
firemen turned their attention
to save the adjoining property
which was damaged to some ex.
tent.
The Routledge home and con.
tents was total loss, which is esti-
mated at $1,000.
Police Officer John A. Scott,
whose house adjoins, suffered
loss Of $500, ana the Weimer resi-
dence $500. The amount of in
surance on the three houses could
not be learned.
The fire, it is said, originated
from a lamp explosion in the
home, which was caused
by cat overturning lamp.
1t is also said this is the third
fire to Mr.. Routedge resulting from
the same cause.

Woods and Suffered Great Exposure.
Tuscola, ILL.,, Sept. 4.-There was
an exciting chase near Broadlands
Monday. Several days ago Miss
Lizzie Pearson wandered from the
home OF her brother and no trace
of her could be found. A strange
looking creature was seen in the
corn fields near there and two blood
hounds from Garrett were placed on
her trail. The whole population Of
the village of Broadlands turned
out to join in the hunt, there being
500 in the party.
AT an early hour the dogs took
the trail, and by 9 o'clock they led
the party to where Miss Pearson
was concealed in the high grass
several miles from home. Her
clothing had been almost torn
from herin her wanderings, and
she was partly nude, and when the
crowd approached she ran like a
deer. 1t was some time before she
was caught, and then it was seen
that she was insone. She had
slept in the fields every night for
over week, aid it will take good
nursing to save her life.

Of the annexation feeling on the is
lands and says it is intensified
through theSbelief that should Hawaii
be annexed to the United States, the
threatened Japanese trouble would
be entirely wiped out by the abroga-
ton of all existing, treaties. By what
is known of the Gibson treaty, enter
ed into with Japan about thirteen
years ago, the Japanese may pour in
to the islands in unlimited numbers.
They now number $4,000 and more
are coming. Whitney states that
they are coming at lthe alarming rate
of 5000 a year andvhe thinks it is
only question of a few years until
the japanese will outnumber the ma
tives and naturalized population and
that would cause serious trouble.
They are already demanding the right
of franchise which by treaty is con-
ferred upon them as soon as they can
write and read the English language.
