TABLES TURNED upon
INSURANCE COMPANIES
New Evidence Shows the Chinatown Fire Was
Started Outside the Block the Board
OF Health Had Condemned.

who was near kaumakapiH church
when the fire started, caused a general
laugh by his answers on cross-examina-
ton by Mr. Ballou. Don't you know
that. yourself?" he replied in Scotch
fashion to the Interrogation of whether
the fire created a draft.
The jury We're excused about 3 p. m.
while counsel argued the law points
briefly at the conclusion of evidence in
rebuttal put on by the defendant. On
the jurys return Judge De Bolt, in a
few words, directed them to find a YER
dict for the plaintiff on the ground that
the property in question was destroyed
by fire started outside of the bounds
Of the block that was condemned by
the resolution of the Board of Health
in evidence. This fact the court
pointed out took the loss out of the
clause in the policy which made the in
surance company not liable for losses
arising from the acts of the public
authorities
Mr.. Robertson, when the verdict was
rendered, noted exceptions on the
ground that it was contrary to the law
and the evidence and gave notice of
motion for new trial This proceed
ure will take the case to the Supreme
Court for determination.
Should the point raised by the plain
tiff be upheld, Mr. Robertson stated
after the trial. it would be decisive
against the insurance companies in all
other pending cases based on the great
fire of January 20, 1900.
There are only two or three other
cases in this category remaining on
the calendar. A large number of the
original cases were settled when it was
judicially determined that the saving
clause in question was valid to protect
the companies from payment of losses
by fire originating under orders of the
Board of Health.
1t is the opinion of some lawyers that
the old cases may be reopened on the
strength of newly discovered evidence.

relieved in the end from racking DELHI

1--WE, the jury in the above entitled
cause. find for the plaintiff in the sum
of seven hundred and fifty dollars with
interest at the rate of s per cent from
March q, 1900, TO date, s157.25 Zone

making a total of s907.25 mine hun
dred and seven and 25-100 doliars).'
The foregoing is the verdict directed
by Judge De Bolt yesterday afternoon
in the case of Kwong Lee Yuen Co. vs..
Manchester Fire Insurance Co. 1t
signifies a complete turning of the
tables against the insurance compan-
les in the Chinatow cases, provided it
be upheld by the Supreme Court on
the exceptions of defendant which were
taken.
This sensational change in the posi-
ton of the Chinatown insurance cases
was produced by evidence of facts not
heretofore presented. Only last Tues
day another jury rendered a verdict
directed by Judge De Bolt in favor Of
defendant in the suit of W. w. Ahana
VS.. insurance Company OIL NORTH <ALleI-
lea, on the ground that the loss was
caused by fire originating from the
burning of block in Chinatown under
an order of the Board of Health reg
ularly passed.
In the Kwong Lee Yuen case, how
ever, proof was adduced for the first
time that the fire of January 20, 1900
was started by the fire department out
side of the bounds of the block ordered
destroyed by the resolution of the
Board of Health which the defense pro-
duced. 1t came out in evidence that
the insured property was ignited by
brands from burning steeple of Kau-
makapili church. which in turn had
caught fire from the buildings outside
of the condemned block to which the
torch was originally applied.
s. Up to the raising of this point the le-
gal battle was over the question of the
winds agency in spreading the fire.
The scientific testimony of C. j.
Lyons, government meteorologist, in a
former case was read by agreement
owing to the detention at home of Mr..
Lyons through Illness. John Lucas,

THE CUSTOMS
CONFERENCE

The San Francisco Call publishes a
story of the conference between COL
lector Stackable and Assistant Secre-
tary Armstrong in which it charges
Stackable with being responsible for
the original order. AS a matter Of
fact the local collector had nothing
to do with the baggage order, and
was the first to protest to Washington
against it's enforcement.
The Call also says:
Not only have passengers been an
noyed by the examination of baggage
at Honolulu, but in many instances
their lives have been imperiled.
Collector Stackable, after boarding
steamships at Honolulu destined Tor
San Francisco, has examined the bag
gage and effects of passengers and
then placed the customs seals on all
trunks and packages. The property
of the passengers was removed from
their custody and not given back to
them, until after their arrival at the
dock in this city.
Unable to secure their belongings,
men and women and delicate children
have been compelled to travel in thin
clothing from the tropics to the lower
temperature of the Pacific Coast, and
many instances are on record where
serious complications have ensued.
! In addition to the inconvenience to
incoming passengers. the local Gus
toms officials have been beset with
many difficulties. Instances are
known where baggage containing du-
table articles was passed by the in
spectors at Honolulu. and when a de-
mand was made at San Francisco 70!
the amount of duty the owners of the
goods would present certificates of ex-
animation and permits to land the
articles, free of duty, issued at Homo
lulu. Collector Stratton of the port
Of San Francisco has sent a number
of communications to Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw, drawing the attention
of the Washington official to the exist.
ing condition of affairs.
The customs officials of San Fran
cisco feel that they have not beer
treated with proper consideration il
the issuance of the order which give:
COllect0r StackaDle OF honolulu the
authority to examine and pass upor
articles and personal effects astinet

. A Pioneer Comes to this City.

The peer of all living pioneers in Mil
ton surprised his many friends by NOV
ing to Edgerton in his old age. He
came to Milton before the town., the
county, or the state was organized; and
while the Indians still had their happy
hunting grounds here. He helped build
the first house, helped lay the first road,
helped keep the first hotel, and helped
tend the first store in Milton. And he
helped plat the Public Square and sur
vey the lot, (which was occupied by the
first mechanic while the land still be-
longed to the government). He saw the
first school house built, and the first
church erected. He was here when the
first white child was born, the first white
person died, and the first person buried
in Milton cemetery. He was here when
the first mail route was run, the first
stage line equipped, the first railroad
built and the first telegraph wire strung.
He was the second man married in Mil
ton and lived many years since the first
one died. Few men have lived to see
such marvellous changes made. Mr.
Pierce leaves Milton with the best wishes
of all who knew him here.-Ezra Good

Milwaukee Road Buys Short Line.

This week the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway company will formally
purchase the Rochelle & Southern rail
way in Illinois and open the line for
traffic. The road will connect with coal
mines near Rochelle, which will be used
exclusively by the Milwaukee road and
as it also passes through rich farming
country considerable other traffic will be
handled. The roadbed and bridges have
been completed. The Milwaukee has
leased twenty miles Of Burlington track,
from Davis junction to Stewart, and
have built through from Mendoza to
Ladd, distance of forty miles, More
land in the coal district is being acquir
ed by the railroad, and big saving in
transportation charges on fuel is expect
ed. The Northwestern and Indiana, IL
linois & Iowa also own their own coal
mines in that region.

JOYS of Christmas Time.

While the Christmas season brings a
thrill of joy to all the aged who have
lived correct lives, yet it is sometimes
saddened by "reminiscences of sins of
omission and commission. The knowl-
edge that during this blessed time evil
spirits are shOrn Of power to do evil
does not always soothe the pangs Of
conscience. But to the young. to whom
life in prospect is all hope and sun
shine, the season is one of unallOyed
bliss. In addition to health and good
digestion, they have two patron saints,
Little Jack +Horner, who tsat ~int the
corner" and Santa Claus, who. though
a Dutchman, is endeared to the in
fantry of all nations by the bound
less profusion he showers on all ma
tionalities. There are trees sufficiently
stacked up around the market house to
carry all the old gentleman's benefac-
tons this year, and they are selling
readily, a testimonial to the improved
prospects Of the expectant recipients
of his bounty.
Numerous, indeed, are the hearts to
which Christmas brings a brief sea-
son of happiness and enjoyment. How
many families whose members have
been scattered far and wide in the rest
less struggle for life are then reunited
and meet again in that happy state Of
companionship and mutual good will!
How many old recollections and how
many dormant sympathies does Christ
mas time awaken! :+}& f. i
There are thousands of Pickwicks to-
day as well as century ago who enjoy
that sacred time as well as he.~

Obituary.
JOSEPH RILEY.

'In the midst of1life we are in death
was surely truly illustrated last Thurs
day morning Dec 10, when Joe Riley, a
young man twenty three years Of age
after rartaking of hearty breakfast,
and ready to go to work, dropped dead
in Milwaukee boarding house, of heart
trouble The deceased was the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. P. Riley of Porter,
and always resided there until few
mouths ago, when he went to Milwaukee
to work in the machine shops, He was
handsome, generous hearted boy, who
had many friends that now can only
sympathize with his sorrowing family in
their sad affection. His father and
brother went to the city and accompa-
MED the remains home, arriving here at
midnight Sunday. The funeral was
held Tuesday, service being conducted
in ST. Joseph's. church, Edgerton, by
Rev. Father Harlin, after which he was
laid tenderly to rest in the Edgerton
cemetery, there to await the resurrection
morn.
