THE THIRD FIRE.
Another in the Series of Blazes OF the
Month.

Fire broke out yesterday afternoon
on school street between Liliha and the
school street bridges that destroyed
three cottages and nearly oil of their
contents besides threatening the stables
of w. H. Rice the Kauluwela school
and other adjacent buildings.
The confagra ton occurred in the
thickly built up lane leading from
School to Kauluwela streets, starting
in the house of c. j. Hoke who was b.
sent when the fire broke out. The
cause has not been determined the
usual theory of children playing with
matches being advanced.
A strong valley wind famed the
| flames and carried them to the cottage
occupied by Joaquin Freias, father of
the Pc tuguese Interpreter for the court
In a very few minutes three cottages
We're blazing furiously.
The fire department with Chief
Thurston responded from the central
station, but on account of the uncom-
peted condition of the School street
bridge was compelled to adopt a round
about route by way of Liliha street. 1t
was found to be impossible to save the
burning cottages and the efforts of the
firemen were successfully directed to-
/ wards saving the neighboring property
| which was in imminent danger from
| the sparks and flakes of fire carried by
| the DTeeZe.
The Rice stables in which are stored a
number of the horses and carriages saw
! ed from the late fire at the stockyards
! had a narrow escape as did the Kaulu-
wela school house. A cocoanut palm in
the corner of the school yard caught fire
within two feet of the building. The tin
roof prevented the roof from catching
! and the school was saved.
Mr.. Hoke's little child, who was sick
at the time of the fire was carried out
in a precarious condition and an I'M
| founded rumor circulated that the child
was dead. Mrs. Freias in the neighbour
| ing cottage was only persuaded to leave
| when the peril was imminent
Some furniture was rescued from the
fire but the cottages and most of their
contents We're a complete loss. Mr..
Hoke estimates his individual loss at
about $4,000.
| Lieutenant Leslie burnt his hand
severely while helping to bring out the
| inmates of one of the cottages and pick
! ed up a revolver and ammunition, IL
| number of the remaining cartridges eX-
| ploding and adding to the risks of the
| fire.

in two tiers. Daci TO OAK Il Ncat-.atihS
space OF twcnlvc incilc.5 beng left be-

with sheet-lead between the plates for
sound deaden-ng purposes. che floors
are Of Slate cemcnted so as to DC water

From 4 sanitary point Of view the con-
struction of these cells is important
There is no place for vermin and no alb
sorption of any kind, the steel and slate
being practically non absorbantc.
In each of the $50 cells there is a lava
tory and water closet. The water pipe,
that supply each lavatory and closet are
so arranged with a controlling valve on
each rising main and separated valve on
each closet and lavatory as to guard
against any interference by the r'sonerS.
A system OF locks and indexes is so ar
RANGED that the turnkey standing at one
end OF q block of cells can by a single
operation unlock every door in the block.
and by a given signal the prisoners step
out into the balcony and march to their
destination This saves much time,
4 careful examination of this structure
will demonstrate its excellence. not only
in providing healthy and suitable cells
but also in the safe and economical ad-
rniniStfattOn OF the prison.

The height of the cells is from s feet

wing is of the same design, dimensions

five hundred cells are feet long by s
feet wide. or the size of the larger cells
OF the north wing. The same height OF

buildings are Of fine proportions, well
arranged and admirably located for light,
ventilation and sewerage. As in the case
of the new Tombs building. they are con-
structed with a view to contininfi one man
only in each cell. Any other arrangement
has been found by the best prison au-
thorities to work badly. The ends of
discipline and reformation can be attained
satisfactorily only in a one-man cell build
ing On this point the concensus of opin-
ion of those in a position to judge ana

that there is no room for discussion. \

that meets the demands of the highest

THE NEW PASSENGER AGENT.
Saw Service in Sthc Philippines and

The newly appointed general travelling
passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, Mr.. Walter G.. Coleman, is a
former Florida Central and Peninsuiar
official, and more recently he was the au-
ditor of the entire Philippine archipelago,
to which post he was appointed shortly
after the American occupation.
Mr.. Coleman talks very entertaininsly Of
his work out there. The United States,
he thinks, made no mistake III holdlnS

fertile, and when peace is restored ne pc

viii he so considerable that the wisdom
of acquiring the islands will. from q
purely commercial standpoint II 1or no
other cause, be amply justified.
The revenues now, says the former au-
ditor are some ten millions. but they are
of course all collected in Mexican silver
The tax basis IS the same fixed by the
Spaniards. The fiscal laws OF the Islands
have bceen changed in no particular by
the Americans, says Mr.. Coleman Inc
small tax fails SO lightly upon TIE natives
ne thinks they do not regard them as our

The acquisition of the islands will, he
believes. prove to be OF inestimable bene-
If to the South The reason is that all

our new possessions wear nothing but
cotton goods, the sole product OF the MUS

The health Of the troops was, when he
left Manila, very good. The men are
gradually learning now to take care OF
themselves in a tropical climate, Mr.
Coleman says and as soon as any conslo-
