FIRES PUT OUT
IN SHORT ORDER

The prompt work of Chief Thurston
and his department saved Honolulu
yesterday from what might have been
two disastrous fires. Yesterday morn
ing's fire in a crowded block In China
town was extinguished before much
damage was done. Last night at about
$50 an alarm from box GA called the
department to the Queens Hospital. A
furnace used to melt the bitumen roof
material was left on the veranda of the
third story of the new wing by the
workmen without being properly turned
out. The fire got down to the floor
and burned a large round hole in it
before being discovered. The depart
ment responded promptly and the in
cipient blaze was extinguished with
buckets. If it had had a few minutes
more there might have been a catas-
trophe.

OOINGS IN THE
DISTRICT COURT

ABE" the little newsboy, arrested
for truancy, was given six months in
the Reform School yesterday. Mary
Ann Lee, the second Carrie Nation, had
her case postponed until after Thanks
giving, as did many others.
D. Carrias was fined 500 for selling
liquor without a license. He though,
he was being soaked too hard and
appealed. Domingo Ferreira also took
an appeal. He was given a week in
Jail for fighting. His opponent in the
fray was fined IS. Hoopai. Hawai-
ian, was arrested and charged with
vagrancy. He pleaded not guilty and
his case was postponed. 1t is rather
unusual for a Hawaiian to be arrested
on this charge.
In regard to the riot at Makaweli
about ten days ago, news from the
Garden Island states that fourteen of
the offenders were committed to the
grand jury, the remainder being nolle
pressed because of lack of evidence.

BkT. CORONADO
FINALLY ARRIVES

The barkentine Coronado arrived yes
terday afternoon. twenty-four days out
from San Francisco. She brought a
large cargo of general merchandise and
five passengers. Like all the other
boats arriving now she reports rough
weather but poor winds. She lost her
main tormast on the way down. A
sudden squat did the trick. Otherwise
she had rather monotonous trip
down. She certainly is in bad luck
lately. Her trip up to San Francisco
took forty days and now the down
trip takes twenty-four. The Curtis
left only day ahead and yet arrived
last Sunday.

The Nevadan will be here next time

formerly advertised.
The George Curtis is ordered to go to
Newcastle for load of coal for this
port. After completing this trip she
will take a load of sugar to San Fran
cisco.
The steamer Kaiulani arrived yes
terday morning and departed at five in
the afternoon on her regular run to
Maui and Molokai ports. This time
she takes in several more Maui ports
than usual.
Reports from Kauai, Molokai and
Maui show that the rough weather is
with the handling of freight.
The Niihau was unable to land the roll
er for MeBryde on account of the bad
weather. The Noeau was likewise I'M
able to land at Anahola for the same
reason.
