HUMPHREYS FINES McGURN FOR
CONTEMPT.
Policeman Made Improper Remarks to
His Honor and Was Assessed SIS
Cases Reinstated.

The higher courts keep up their re-
Gently acquired reputation for sensa-
tions. Judge Estee came near getting
the best of it this morning but Judge
Humphreys came in very neatly after
time with a nice, little story for the
newspapers.
1t will be remembered that on Tues
day Judge Humphreys dismissed sever
al cases outright because the attorneys
were not present in his court room
when they were called. The attorneys
were considerably wrought up over the
matter as they were in the building and
were not properly summoned. Yester-
day motions for reinstatement and af-
fdavits were filed in all of the cases.
The affidavits set out that at the time
of the calling of the cases the attorneys
were in Judge Silliman's court at the
other end of the building.
This morning the case of c. S. Desky
VS.. Mrs. Thomas Lack came up for re-
instatement. The motion was filed by
j. A. Magoon, who claimed to be in
court. When he had started in to talk
Bailiff Albert McGurn arose and, ad-
dressing the court, asked to say few
words, adding that it would have an
important bearing on the matter.
The request was something almost
unprecedented, but under the circum-
stances was allowed. McGurn stated
Mr.. Magoon he went into Silliman's
court and was told by the stenographer
that the attorney was not there. This
report was returned to the court. The
Bailiff had since learned that Mr.. Ma
goon was really in Silliman's court
room at the time and wished to change
his former statement accordingly.
Judge Humphreys became a bit an
gered at this, apparently and ripped
out hotly at the Bailiff, concluding by
asking him why he did not attend to
his business properly in place of speak
ing around outside when sent on impor-
tant business.
1t was then the policeman's time. He
replied sharply to the court and added
that he had been grossly insulted by
the Judge.
2ITor that remark I fine you SIS for
contempt of court" was the rejoinder
of His Honor.
At II o'clock Mr.. Robertson presented
affidavits in all the cases in which he
was interested that were thrown out
Tuesday. Attorneys on both sides unit
ed in the plea for reinstatement. Judge
Humphreys announced that he was dis
posed to grant the request for rein
statement, in view of what he had
learned today, but that he wished to
consider the question until tomorrow
morning.

PASSENGERS
SERIOUS ACCIDENT NARROWLY
AVERTED.
Train From Waialua Parted by Loose
Switch and One Car Thrown off the
Track.

The lives of scores of passengers
aboard the Waialua train last evening
were endangered by a peculiar accident
close to the depot in Honolulu. Fortu-
nately every one escaped without the
slightest injury and with the exception
of q very few who received slight
shaking-up as the result of the accident
few of the passengers realized that any
thing had happened.
The train, which arrives here at 5:3O,
was composed of six coaches as travel
was heavier than usual. The run from
Waialua was made without incident
and as the train rolled into the yards
here the passengers began gathering
their bundles preparatory to leaving the
coaches. About two hundred yards be-
fore the depot is reached, there is a
long freight switch branching mauka.
The engine, tender, baggage car and
first car crossed the frog safely as did
the forward trucks of the second car
but the heavy pressure must in some
manner have loosened the switch for by
the time the rear trucks rolled up, 1t
had opened sufficiently to turn the rear
trucks and those of the next car off OF
the main track down the switch. With
two parts of the train going in opposite
directions, there could be but one result.
The second coach was thrown violently
round and the train brought to a stop
Had the train not been running at
slow rate of. speed it is very probable
that the last cars would have telescoped
and many passengers been seriously in
jured If not killed outright. AS it was
none of the car were damaged to any
extent.

Authority on Chinese Matters Fresh
From the Scene of Trouble-Fears a
General Uprising

j. w. Brown, head of a drug hui do
ing business in the Hawaiian Islands
and China, returned by the city of
Peking from Shanghai. Mr. Brown
spends fully half of his time i'm China
and speaks the language of the little
brown men like a celestial. He is con-
sidered, therefore, a substantial and
reliable authority on events and pros
poets in the empire
No, Admiral Seymour did not kill
his wounded in the retreat upon Tien-
tsin. The report that he had was manu-
featured out of the whole cloth DR..
Smith, of the Tientsn hospital who
was here, was right in saying that all
were taken back by the troops to a
place of safety

fanatic as dangerous as the DerVishes
He will throw himself on the enemy's
guns without hesitation. Chinese SOL
diers are not of this class and are not
to be feared so much by European.
The future depends altogether upon
the attitude OF the southern provinces.
When l left it looked very much like
a general uprising in the South on the
side of the Boxers. If this occurs the
events of the next few years will ap-
pail humanity and strain the resources
of the world. l fear it will come.
Shanghai is i'm the greatest danger.
sixty thousand Chinese soldiers are
quartered there and they have possess
ion of the arsenal. / witnessed, after
the outbreak, Boxers in front of my hO-
tel in Shanghai harauguing the natives
and urging them to arise. If an out
break occurs there and spreads to Can
ton and Annoy the allies will need all
the men and all the money they can
get together to establish peace again."

WOMAN PHOTOGRAPHER.

Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston Of
Washington, d. c., will read a paper
on The work of the women of the
United States in photography" before
the international congress of photo
graphy at Paris. Miss Johnston is one
of the leading photographers of the
country, and has made some of the best
portraits of public men; her photograph
of the signing of the protocol closing
the war with Spain is a well-known
example. She is the better photOgra-
pher because she had a thorough train
ing as a painter, and thus does her
work like an artist. as well as with
skilled technique. She made the first
photographs of the frescOes in the con-
gressional library, taking them from
the ScaffOlding.
