Wagon collided With Dump Cart and
 the Boy Was Thrown.

tAAO ACOJ W oo iAOh " II.
 John Clark, the 14-year-old son of D. E. Clark, West Side hill painter, had a thrilling experience this morn ing and narrowly escaped with his life. His fathers horse ran away with him on West Main street and after gauop- ing through South Willow and Grand streets, rushed into Bank street and headed toward the depot. The boy held onto the ribbons like a real horse man and appeared to be bringing the animal under control when the wagon collided with dump cart loaded with cobble stones near the Southern New England Co.'S building, throwing the boy headlOng onto the sidewalk and upsetting the wagon in the gutter The horse freed himself from the ye- hicle and kept on as far as the railroad station, where lie was caught. Officer Michael Sullivan picked up the boy and took him up town and cared for him until his father appeared. The little fellow was bruised on the jaw and side of his head and blood oozed from a cut at the back of the right ear. He was stunned by the fall, but he got over it quickly and walked away with the officer like hero. He has figured in accidents before and did not seem to mind what occurred to- day. Sometime ago he had leg and arm broken in a coasting collision. He said one of the hold-backs gave out, and to make matters worse one of the traces came off, so that supposing he had the strength of a giant he could ont have done more towards managing, the runaway. He is a gritty little fel- low and his manly bearing won the admiration of a big crowd of men and women who came to the rescue. When the horse flew down Bank street with the bareheaded boy on the seat hold ing onto the reins people held their breath and many turned their heads aside, thinking the driver was being hurried along to certain death.

As every one knows. are a very desir- able headgear for both men and boys. You'll see men working ill the shops wearing hats made of paper; that's very good idea, because they say it's a protection for the hair. providing they are not bald headed. Now if you can get a we'll made cap, just as light in weight as the paper ones and far more durable, and great sight cheap CT, why not secure one? We are giY- ing a handsome, well made cap with each pound of our extra fine Coffee 2oc per pound; that's reasonable. we're sure. We have half dozen different colors some of them very desirable for ball players Say we. would be very much pleased to see the married machinists play a game of baseball with the single fellows; in such case we will furnish balls and bats and each player on the winning side will be entitled to one of our well-made caps FREE; that's reasonable enough, we're sure. So it's up to the n1achin- ists now Well we have some sizes that will just tickle the youngsters, and fit them to perfection, too. There fore, if they go home and tell you they saw them in our window and also say they would like one to wear, for pity's sake get it for them for nothing. and you will not only make the boy happy but our Coffee will put the whole family in state of joy and happiness.

Newport, R. l., June 5.-The consti- tuition, with her collapsed steel mast bent double, started for her builders works at Bristol, before o'clock this morning, in tow of her tender, the Mount Morris. The crew were hustled out before o'clock and given early coffee after, which the Mount Morris passed a line to the yacht. Consider able rigging trailed along over the port rail as the Constitution started up the bay and the big steel boom gave a de cided list to port. Very few persons in the city saw the dismasted yacht as she dragged along behind the tender, and by o'clock she had passed out of sight up the bay.

NEARLY A FATAL ACCIDENT
WIND BLOWS DOWN A KAHULUI
STAIRWAY.
Head Carpenter McClendon Gets a
Severe Fall and is Suffering with
Conclusion of the Brain.

WAILUKU, February John A
McClendon head carpenter at Kahu-
lui, received injuries that nearly re-
suited in his death, in a fall from the
sugar warehouse on Monday last. A
hurricane from the north swept the
stairway leading to the lookout station,
carrying 1t away while McClendon was
on it. a high wind had been blowing
all day, and the stair had been severely
strained.
At about five o'clock in the evening
the gale began to carry away the lum-
Der in the yards like feathers. Supt
Filler and j. Garcia went up to the
lookout station to look into the cond-
ton of the harbOr and were soon fol-
lowed by John McClendon and Charles
LeunoX Scarcely had the two former
reached the top when a sudden gust
swept away the stairway.
McClendon fell with a crash and was
rendered unconscious. He did not re-
vive for two days. After the accident
he was carried to the Malulani hospital
where he was attended by DR.. Weddick.
McClendon is suffering from concus-
sion of the brain. For the first few
days while in the hospital his condition
was very critical but now there are
hopes for his recovery.
Although the stairway has stood
many past storms it was considered
very shaky, and in a storm like that
on Monday very unsafe. Mr.. Lennox
was just about to follow McClendon
and narrowly escaped death by not
mounting the stairway in time.

SYDNEY, January 29.-Some time
ago, Sir William Lyme cabled to Mr.
Copeland, urging that he should join
the other Agent-Generals in urging the
desirability of procuring a suspension
of the U. S. navigation law in regard
to Hawaii. This law prevents cargo be-
ing carried in foreign bottoms between
Hawaii and the United States, and
particularly affects Australian ships.
Yesterday the N. S. w. Premier receiv-
ed a reply from Mr.. Copeland, stating
that representations had been made as
desired, and that a reply had been re-
ceived from the American authorities,
stating that as nearly two years will
have to elapse before the law referred
to comes into operation, it is not feast
BILE to reopen the question, though de-
slrable TO promote friendly relations.

.TNENTY-ONE DEAD FOUND
TERRIBLE FIRE IN A TOKYO
HOSPITAL.
Eleven Charred Corpses Found To-
Alcohol Lamp Upset.

YOKOHAMA, February Am APP
palllng Calamity took place in TOKYO
on tuesday morning, when the No. >
University hospital at luLumlcno.
kanda, was destroyed by fire and
twenty-one persons including many
patients, were burnt to death. 1t APP
pears that the flames originated in one
of the hospital rooms, where one of
the nurses upset a lamp igniting a tin
of alcohol which was near.
1t was shortly before o'clock when
the fire was started. The hospital
buildings being built of highly COM
bustible material, the flames spread
with alarming rapidity, despite the fact
that there was little wind blowing at
the time. AS soon as the alarm of fire
was given, the doctors and nurses made
great efforts to carry the patients out
of danger. Altogether, there were
ninety-siX patients at the hospital, be-
sides many nurses and private attend
ants.
The flames got hold Of the buildings
with such rapidity, however that, de-
spite the remarkably prompt and
plucky efforts made by the nurses and
other people to save the patients, many
of them met with the sad fate reported.
The extensive hospital buildings were
completely Quilted in less than an hour.
When the flames burned themselves
out and the debris had been cleared,
the most terrible spectacle was present
ed. In one place, below a staircase, on
fewer than eleven Corpses, charred and
unidertifiable, We're found lying on one
another. Altogether, q bodies were dis
covered in the course of the day.
Those patients who had been saved
We're at once sent to neghboring
schools and hospitals and temporarily
attended to. Two persons jumped down
to the ground from windows and re-
ceived injuries, to which they sue
cumbed afterwards. There are still
several who are missing. Many of
those who We're killed were women.
Baron Suyematsu, Minister for Home
Affairs, accompanied by Mr.. Matsui,
Chief of the Fire Brigade Office, pro-
ceeded to the scene of the disaster the
same afternoon and inspected the
spot.
Another fatal fire occurred in Tokyo
early on Tuesday morning, starting in
a lamp-dealer's shop at Mitoshiro-cho
Itchome, Kanda- ku. A woman, aged
As, persisted in the flames, and eleven
houses were destroyed or damaged.
