BIG SHIP ASHORE.

The big four-master Nellie" from
the coast is slowly hammering herself
to pieces off Diamond Head. Her steer
ing gear failed to respond and the ter
rife wind blowing last night carried her
on the coral reef. The crew were taken
off last night, or very early this morn
ing, and no loss of life is reported. The
Nellie IS a ship OF $500 tons and is
heavily laden. Her cargo is probably
the largest ever brought consisting OF
one kind of goods alone. Men are at
work trying to save her valuable cargo
as 1t is wholly a shipment of Douglas
Patent Closets and consigned to Bath. .

RECEIVED TWO FEES.

Humphreys said the firm received
$500 as a fee out of the avails of the
land sale by Sumner to the o. r. & L.
Co, for representing the Ellises in
fighting the railways suit for specific
performance, having considered all
along that such was to be the source of
payment. The Ellises had also paid
the firm $1,000 and given a note for an
other thousand, which had not been
collected.

His Firm.
And Promises Restitu-

Damages. c. Aliens will
Is Probated.

A. S. Humphreys impaired an al
| most exciting turn to the disbarment
proceedings yesterday morning, while
concluding from Friday his direct evil
dence on his own behalf.
After relating some strong language
he had used against Mr.. Highton, first
to Mr.. Thompson and then to Mr..
Highton himself, the witness proceed
ed to denounce his own firm of Hum
phreys, Thompson & Watson for neg
ligence of the interests of the Ellises
as its clients and to promise restitu-
ton of fees unjustly collected.
The sensation produced by this con-
fession was heightened by the heated
protest of Mr.. Thompson against ad-
hitting such evidence. He objected to
being bound by any statements made
regarding the firm or himself by A. S.
Humphreys, claiming the right to OBJ
ject to any evidence that he deemed
not relevant to the case of Frank E.
Thompson.
THOMPSON PROTECTED.
After consultation the court ruled
that the evidence given by Humphreys
on his own behalf, which Thompson
objected to, would not be regarded by
the court in considering Thompsons
case. Thompson found occasion to
raise the point several times, both in
direct and in cross-examination. At
torney General Andrews insisted on
the right of full cross-examination up
on the lines of the direct evidence,
which the court allowed.
HE CUSSED HIGHTON.
Humphreys testified that when he
saw the Highton letter to the Ellises
he asked Thompson, What has that |
damned old scoundrel been doing?" |
He told his partner that Highton had !
made an arrangement with the Ellises !
behind their Humphreys, Thompson |
& Watson's) backs, and that next time |
he entered their office he Humphreys |
would kick him out.
Highton came to their office some
time afterward with a business propo-
sition between clients of his and theirs,
when Humphreys rang for Thompson
and in his presence called Highton "a
damned liar" and "a damned fraud"
% his face.

PROMISES RESTITUTION.

Witness now Informed the court that
he considered the firm of Humphreys,
Thompson & Watson did not fairly
earn the $500 received on behalf of
the Ellises, because it had been neg
ligent of their interests in not procur-
ing a new deed of trust when the dis
tribution to Mrs. Davis and them was
made. 1t was his intention to REIN
burse the Ellises for what they had
paid.
On cross-examination Humphreys
said he told j. w. Cathcart in conf
dence, a few days before the informa-
ton against himself and Thompson
was filed, of his conviction that the
firm had been guilty of negligence to-
ward it's clients and his intention to
reimburse them. He had never spoken
this frank statement in public was his
first intimation to them of his view and
intention in the matter. When he made
up his mind he did not have the money
on hand. Before he went to Kona last
autumn he expressed his dissatisfac-
ton to Thompson about the neglect to
obtain new trust deed.

A Good Idea.

An effort is being made among Mil
waukee residents formerly of Water
town, Wis, to organize club similar
to the Wisconsin club of New York.
The movement is being pushed by
Thomas Fleming, DIR. F. Toussaint,
Alexander Kehr, DR.. L. Toussaint, D.
E. Cheney, j. j. Fleming, William
Anger, Ernest Kehr, Joseph and Ferdi-
nand Schumacher.
"There are about 500 Watertown
people living in Milwaukee," said Err
nest Kehr yesterday, land it is with
the desire to bring them together that
we have started this movement. There
is much to be gained by such a move
ment. We hope to obtain the names
and addresses of all people born at
Watertown now living in Milwaukee.
and | hope that all who can will for
ward their names to me at my Office
in Birchard block. We will make q
note of their place of business and
their residence and will be a sort of
information bureau for any Watertow d
people who are looking for friends in
the city. We will have central Office
at the place of business of cue of the
officers of the club who will be in
charge of the directory. No dues will
be charged and there will be no expen-
ses except for the yearly banquet
which is to be a regular feature. This,
of course, is optional with those who
wish to attend, and the club will well
come the poor as well as the wealthier
residents into its membership. The
club will be made pe rmanent insti-
tuition.
Membership will be voluntary and
we hope in time to obtain permanent
quarters and keep open house. The
club will engender a feeling of good
fellowship among the Watertown peo-
pie and will keep alive the love for the
old home and old associates. A Mil
waukee- Watertown excursion will also
be an annual feature. We will try to
have those who usually visit the old;
home attend in body. We will cali
a meeting for organization at the
earliest possible date. ."-Milwaukea

Old Mason Died.

Orrln Henry, the Oldest of the Ma

Wisconsin, and probably the Oldest
Mason in the state, died at his home
in jefferson the first of the week, aged
85 years. The cause of his death was
