MIR. TruesdeIl Explains.

Mr.. Harmon asked If the Commissioners
had not been asked for a report. Mr..
Truesdell said not and explained that
the resolution if passed would give the
street to the market company. He said
the purpose of the company was to della y
a hearing until this legislation was en-
acted aud the case thrown out OF court.
Tie urged that the committee take no
actor.
Attorney for the District Thomas ex-
planned the legal question and said that

people were present. When answered in
the affirmative he said all the committee
wanted - know was Low the farmer
should Toe best protected. They did not
care for the legal question az issue. All
they wanted was protection for farmers.
Nr. TrueSdell, in answer to a question
by Mr.. Baboock. said the resolution W ould
give the market company fifteen feet
more than any decision or the court might.
Judge Abbot urged that the whole mat
ter should be postponed until the court
had decided.
GOV. Ordway, a director OF the market
company, said the company asks for moth
ing but what has obtained for the past
twenty years He claimed that it was adj
mitted that the south wall Of the building
was not on he line.

McCaffery's Flight.

over night he realized that he had com
mitted the crime OF bigamy, and was now
liable to a penitentiary sentence, and be-
coming frightened, he left this section, and
all trail Of him was, for the time being
lost. His children were taken up by yaTi-
Gus charitably inclined families along the
Cumberland Canal, upon which he had been
employed, and were cared for until they
grew up.

W ent to Chicago. Here, in some way, he
started to speculate in grain. From small
successes lie gradually III creased the
amount of his capital and operations I'M
til he became known as one OF the biggest
plungers on the exchange. Finally the
former canal boatman became possessed Of
an affluence which he nat not hoped for
in his widest dreams.
All this time he continued in his pursuit
OF W omen, and when he died. in 1894, Ne
Gallery, then a man OF eighty-seven years,
was spending $4,000 q year in riotous
living. During bis career, as the evi
dence in the Will suit showed, he had
lived with two legally married and at
least nine common law wives. Outside Of
Utah it would probably be hard TO find
a parallel to this case.

GOV. Ordway claimed that the resolution
did not settle anyf hing II was Temporary.
The sentiment pr the community was that
these dealers should be permitted TO re-
main. He appesled OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to
have justice. The company has spent three
quarters Of a raillion dollars on the build
ing, and had paid to the District $780,
600.
Commissioner 1ruesdell Thought il was
strange that GOV. Ordway should appeal to
the Commissioners to let UP. The Commits
sioners did not intend TO remove the farm
ers until Congress had an opportunity to
legislate.
GOV. Ordway said their attorney had
asked for tie removal. of the restraining
order in the interest of the farmers. He
thought it would he best to have the farm
ers moved while Congress was in session.
Congress could then know what has been
done.
Mr.. Babcock suggested that the rosolu-
ton be amended. The company did not
want any more real estate, and that was
what the Commissioners feared.

WEALTH IN HER OLD ACE
Comes to Mrs. McCafery, Widow

Her Husband Left Her for Another

Drifted TO Chicago and Became
Rich.

Mrs. McCaffery, aged eighty four, who
was recently adjudged by the courts OF
Chicago to be the principal heiress to
an estate valued at over 81 100000, ar
rived IN this city last night.
The history of Mrs McCaffery and of her
husband, who was formerly resident OF
Washington, reads like chapter written
by the most fanciful Of romancers-
About fifty years ago the couple came
from Ireland, where they were married,
to this country with thei: four children and
settled in Gates county, y. Y.
Mr.. McCaffery was canal boatman and
scared work on the Erie Canal. His liaisons
with other women became frequent, but
his wife stood his nhsdoings as long as
she could, until finally he brought one of
his mistresses, with her child, 20 his own
home.
A quarrel ensued which was terminated
by McCaffery's flight He took with him
the woman and also his legitimate chill
dren.
lie came to Washington, where the chill
dren were put to school, while their father
continued in his career Of Indulgence.
In 1852 he married Nancy Guonod, the

In letters to friends here, Theo. C.
Porter tells that his health is much
improved. Under treatment at quiet
place in the country he is gradually
coming back to his normal condition
and in a few months will have fully
recovered from the results of the strain
and long and close application to his
work here. Mr.. Porter writes of him
self freely and is most pleased over the
fact that he is now blessed with sleep
sufficient to warrant required rest. For
some time before leaving San Francis
co for the interior he was frequently
without more than very few minutes
of sleep for many nights in succession.
The whole toEe of the letters indicate
that Mr.. Porter will in due time be
back here again and once more in the

Chillingsorth fired a shot in the air
and brought Wallace to a standstill
just as Vida came over the fence. Lua-
hiwa and two Cinnamon in the deal had
disappeared. Wallace was making a
fight with Chillingsworth, who is also
a football player. when Vida took a
hand. Luahiwa was arrested later on
a warrant.
The circumstances of the case are
such that Luahiwa and Wallace will
likely get off easily in Court, but one

Vida had been on the trail of this com

packed in San Francisco by swindlers

IS A CHARACTER
Peculiarities of a Native
Living on Kauai.
An Ornamented-Go Fellow Now
But Was Quite Terror Before
He Reformed.

There is native living in Nawiliwili,
district of Lihue, on the Island of Ka
uai, whom everyone knows as Johnny,
but whose family name is Kualokai.
This latter name he has had tatooed on
his arm, together with the picture of a
deceased sweetheart. In appearance he
is a typical native, muscular, with the
appearance of an athlete and possess
ing a well rounded form.
1t is not, however, with his personal
appearance that this article has to do,
but with parts of his record as a Grim
inal. He has been in Jail several times
on various charges but has failed to
come into the clutches of the law on
one that is told of him and which sew
eral people in Lihue who know him
well, say is true.
Johnny is remarkably good swim
mer and, it is said, was at one time
very much addicted TO the habit of
stealing ducks from various people.
His method was very simple. He
would hide in the bulrushes along the
edges of the duck ponds and would,
from time to time, dive out where the
ducks happened TO be, snatch one or
two from the surface, push them into a
bag, swim back again to the rushes,
there to take breath for another sally.
In this way, he succeeded in making
quite comfortable living. However,
he has given up his crooked ways and
new resides like a peaceably inclined
citizen, relying on work that is given
him from time to time
When out on a hunting or fishing ex-
petition, there is no better man on the
island of Kauai than this same Johnny
Barefooted, he will climb all over the
dangerous pals that fall away abruptly
and end thousands of feet below in the
sea. The festive goat itself is not more
active and, when hunting for this kind
of game, he is as Invaluable a man to
chase the animals round TO point OF
vantage.
AS driver, there are few natives
even who can beat him In diving after
Holsters, he has the very uncomfortable
habit of swimming great distance in
to caves that have no opening above
the water. Beneath the rocks of these
places he will feel around, never fail
ing 10 come to the top bringing with
him something to make glad the hearts
of the housewives.
Johnny is a well known character
first coming into prominence by steal.
ing hundred pounds of giant powder
from country store. He had been in
the habit of using giant powder for fish
and wished to lay in an extra supply
for rainy day.

A LONG ILLNESS
Death of John M. Angus
After a Trying Sickness.
Had Been AiIing Several Months.
Confined to His Bed for Four
Weeks-An Old Resident.

John NJ. Angus, whose serious illness
has been expected to terminate in
death at any time during the past
week, breathed his last a little before
8 O'Clock last evening. The end came
peacefully and without pain. Mr. An
gus had in Honolulu many warm
friends who will be genuinely sorry
that his ailment, at first not at all
threatening proved fatal. Deceased
would have been 65 years old in April
of 1898, but up to his first sickness
carried his age remarkably we'll and
was active and successful in his bust
ness calling The disease was an acute
stomach trouble. 1t is about a year
since Mr.. Angus mentioned that he
believed there was something wrong.
About three months later he went I'M
der treatment steadily. DR.. Geo. Her.
bert has been the physician, but other
doctors of the city have been from time
to time called into consultation The
illness has been exceedingly wearing
and trying. For just four weeks, Mr.
Angus had been confined to his bed
after making hard fight to keep upon
his feet. For nearly a fortnight there
had been no hope of recovery. He was
conscious and able to say all that he
desired to tell those about him
John NJ. Angus was born in Cumber-
land County, Nova Scotia and has re-
latives in that section. The family

residence in the Islands had been with

Company on Queen street He was
manager of the establishment at the
time his illness forced him to retire
from attention to business. In this
connection covering so many years,
Mr.. Angus was entrusted with large
interests and was regarded as a cap
able and faithful man, enjoying the
fullest confidence of the company.

STRANDED NATIVES.
They Cali Upon Consul General
Allen for Aid.


Allen for Aid.
By the Mariposa mail Consul-Gen-
eral Allen, at New York, reports the
cases of several Hawaiians who have
called upon him for aid. All of their
appeals are written in English and
some of them are interesting reading.
One of the boys had deceived the Con-
sui, but expresses great regret and a
willingness to suffer any kind of pun
ishment that might be suggested. He
had agreed to accept position that
the Consul-General secured for him
and had then slipped away on cattle
boat for Liverpool. He said they re-
ceived only food for looking after the
cattle and were paid no money at all.
In the course of his appeal for aid and
pardon this native observes grayely
that blood is thicker than water
Another Hawaiian thinks that unless
the Consul gives him $3.50 he will both
starve and freeze to death.
1t is needless to say that the New
York Consul, as we'll as the representa-
tives of the Government in every port,
are prompt in relieving the wants of
natives who get so far from home

COLD MOLASSES.
Luahiwa and Sam Wallace En-
gagged in a Deal.


Chas. Chillingsworth and Henry
Vida, the Marshal's clever special Off
GERS, in the drug" line, made a cap
ture last night. They didn't get opium
though. The only reason for this was
that the containers had cold molasses
inside. The boys have 81 neatly and
perfectly labeled tins at the station,
two notable prisoners and one extra
tin containing real opium. This latter
was the sample.
The prisoners are: Joe Luahiwa, of
the barracks, football and baseball
player and former police officer; Sam
Wallace, police officer, bootball player
and oarsman. Wallace has always had
a good reputation and has fiawless
record up to this episode. Luahiwa
has been charged before with handling
the tabu drug.
Chillingsworth and Vida had a
Chinaman on their staff. This man
was to buy the opium from Wallace
and Luahiwa. Delivery was to be made
on Upper Vineyard street. The specials
were out in bluejacket uniform. They
were on the watch at different points.
Through a change in the program OF
the dealers Chillingsworth found him
self on the scene alone just as the bar
gain was being made. A Chinaman
was burning the real opium to prove
it. Luahiwa and Wallace saw Chill
lingsworth plainly, but did not know
him. When Chillingsworth made him
self known all the men ran
Wallace started out with the bag
OF merchandise. He threw it over a
