Fifteen soldiers of the 34th Infantry
were left behind by the Belgian King

in Honolulu for the next transport.
They claim not have known the hour
of sailing of their vessel. Twelve men
reached the dock just as the ship was
heading into the stream. They say
that Major Skunk looked al them
through his glasses and that they beck
oned him for a boat, but he paid no
further attention to them. Last night
the men reported to the Artillery COM
mander at the old barracks.

Dispute Caused by Lack of Waterfront
Space.

The shortage of wharf room along
the waterfront resulted in a small row
at the Sorensen wharf yesterday morn
ing. The small schooner Mokihana,
owned by Peter Joseph. was at the end
of the wharf waiting for a cargo, when
the steamer Upolu arrived from Ko-
hala and the Kona coast. She had
been given permission to dock where
the Mokihana was and pushed her bow
in behind Joseph's boat, showing her
out of the way.
Just as the Upou made fast the
freight for the Mokihana reached the
wharf Joseph was highly indignant
and started forth to discover what his
rights were in the matter He was
about to load with bridge lumber for
Nahiku.

UNCONSCIOUS FROM GAS.
Mary Murray, n Domestic. Narrowly
Escapes SumOcntfOn.

Mary Murray, forty years Of age, en-
ployed at the Raleigh Hotel, was discov-
cred in her room on the third floor of III
Ninth Street northwest, about $40 o'clock
this morning, suffering from the effects of
inhaling Illuminating gas. She was found
by Charles Labofish, the proprietor OF the
house, who went to her room at the srg-
gestion of a domestic, who detected the
odor of gas. After repeated knocking with
out response, Mr.. Labofish broke in the
door Of the room, and found Miss Murray
standing near her bed in a dazed condi-
tion. Immediately afterward she fell on
the bed and became unconscious. Laboish
summoned policeman, who sent in a call
for the Emergency Hospital ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived the physi-
clan in charge examined the woman, and
found that her condition was not serious.
The police report Of the affair charac-
terized 1t as an attempt at suicide, but
that Miss Murray denied. She could not
explain how both gas Jets in the room were
turned on full, but was sure it was purely
accidental. She states that she retired at
9 o'clock last night and because Of her
nervousness probably turned on the gas
again after turning it off. When told that
supply of gas from two jets flowing into
her room from 9 o'clock, the time she re-
tired, until morning, when she was discov-
cred, would have resulted in her death,
Miss Murray explained that she evidently
arose in her sleep and turned on the gas.
She declared positively that she had no in
tention of committing suicide, and she had
no troubles, either domestic or financial.

Dr. A. ]. Huntoon acted as to3stmas er
lie explained in few Introductory remarks
that this was the eighth occasion on which
the members and friends OF the Burnside
Post had met in social gathering The in
mense popularity and success OF the post
was largely due to these entertainments,
he said, and the results were very satlsfac-
tory to all concerned.
The first and probably the most impor-
tant least OIL tHt plOSi was ~ ~
President. which was responded to by the
Rev. Asa S Fisk, d. D.. pastor of Gunton
Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church
DIR. Fisk spoke of the relation of the Grand
Army TO the Executive. E
Continuing, Dr. Fisk paid a glowing
tribute to those he termed the. greatest
Presidents the country has ever had
Washington, Lincoln, and Grant DIR. FISK
then turned his attention to the late war
.-.af afA, ~ tor
ritory by this Government. He said the
new epoch which was being opened will
probably be the greatest in the history OF
the country With regard to the present
occupant of the Presidential chair he said
that the name OF William Mckinley will go
down in history unspotted and unblem-
ished He. will be looked upon as the man
who with equal hand dispensed the great
positions in connection with this latest war
to old Confederates and Union soldiers
alike. without political preference. He ap-
pointed Joe Wheeler and Lee and placed in
their hands the Stars and Stripes for de-
fence and offence, cementing the North and
the South into an inseparable Union"
At the conclusion OF DR.. Fisk's address
the Capital Concert Quintette sang The
Star Spangled Banner" all of the ban

A CONSTABLE ARRAIaNED.
w. II. II. Gould Accused of Conduct
InbecOminE an Officer.


An investigation of the charges OF con-
| duct unbecoming an officer of the law.
preferred by Justice of the Peace Samuel
r. Church against his constable. W. II. H..
Gould, came up for hearing today before
| the justices of the Supreme Court of the
| District, sitting in general term.
The court was composed OF Chief Jus
tice Edward s Bingham and Associate
Justices Charles C. Cole, Harry NJ Cla-
baugh. and job Barnard
The charge against Constable Gould is
that he refused to execute a writ of re-
plevin issued by Justice of the Peace
Church. and placed in his hands for exc
cution. When Mr.. Church was called
upon to make a statement of the case, he
said, that about October 16 he placed in
Gould's hands a writ of replevin author
izing him to take possession of a certain
horse claimed by the plaintiff in the suit
of Landon against Salter. This process,
Mr. Church said, Gould executed. and de-
livered the animal TO Landon. day or
two later it was discovered that the bond
furnished for the replevin of the horse
was insufficient.
The plaintiff was notified OF this fact
and given three days in which TO file
new undertaking. This was not done and
Justice of the Peace Church issued another
writ AUTHORIZING Gould to agaip take pos
session of the horse in question. and TO re-
turn him to the defendant Salter.
1t is this writ that it is alleged Gould
failed to execute by reason OF his unwili-
ingness to perform the duty.
The respondent claims that Justice OF the
Peace Church had no authority to issue the
second writ for the taking Of the property,
and that had the constable executed the
process, his bondsmen would have been liza
BILE for any damage which might have ac-
crued TO the plaintiff. Landon.
Lastly Gould claimed that the first writ
was properly issued and executed because
the bond authorizing its issuance was prop
er and accepted as sufficient.
Justice of the Peace Church is represent
ed by Attorney F. H. Stevens and Constable
Gould by Mattiugly & Donaldson.
