THO', M'G|Ff|N'S
FATHER IS DEAD

News was received yesterday of the
death at Washington Pa, on July 80,
of Col. Norton McGiffin, father OF
Thomas McGiffin of Honolulu The de-
ceased was 81 years of age. The Army
and Navy Journal says: Colonel Nc
Gifffn was born in Washington and
came of a distinguished family. He
graduated from Washington College in
1871, and went to Uniontown and read
law with the late Judge Ewing When
the Mexican War broke out he enlisted
with the 1st Regiment, Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and served throughout the
war, participatin in the principal en-
gagements. Colonel McGiffin was in
jured in the battle of Pueblo. At the
close of the war McGiffin received his
commission as colonel from the Gov
einor of Pennsylvania. He entered poll
tics and served as county treasurer an
sheriff. In 1861 he served in the 18th
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, ana
was elected lieutenant colonel At the
close of his three months term of SER
vice he was transferred to the S5th
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer In
fantry, retaining his rank of lieutenant
colonel During the Peninsula CAM
paign he contracted fever and was
compelled to resign his commission. He
engaged in farming in Washington
County for ten years, and was elected
on the Republican ticket for State
Legislature. In 1890 he received the
appointment of United States Consul
at Port Rowan, in Ontario, Canada,
and in 1892 was appointed Consul at
Port Hope. Canada, where he remain
ed for two years. In 1858 he marie
Miss Sarah Houston Quail, and TO
them were born six children-Mrs. CT.

McGiffin, ef Honolulu, Hawaii; James
Q. McGiffin, who died several years
ago. Philo Norton McGiffin, who died
in 1885, as result of wounds received
in commanding a Chinese war vessel in
the conflict with Japan. and Rev.
Nathaniel McGiffin, pastor of Presby-
terrain church in Nebraska Mrs. Nc
Giff1n died in January, 1903, on the day
following the fiftieth anniversary of
her marriage.
Captain Norton McGiffin who COM
manded the Chinese warship, was one
the heroes of that disastrous war on
the Chinese side. The vessel which
McGiffin commanded was battered by
the Japanese warships. 1t was one of
the first opportunities nations had to
judge of the worth of armored vessels.
Those aboard the Chinese ship ascer-
tanned, however, that to be on a YES
sci getting the worst of it, was no
joke. The conclusion from bursting
shells tore McGifffn's clothes to shreds.
and his hearing was completely shat
tered. He was then fine-looking.
well-built man. But the result of the
conflict and his wounds reduced him,
a few years later, almost to a skeleton,
and his mind gave way. He died by his
own hand in New York City.

.HACKMEN TO
MAKE FIGHT
Judge Whitney Decides
Liverymen Cannot
Solicit Fares,

The Attorney-generaI has got some
tafther regal light on the rights of
hackman and livery men. respectively
TO solicit trade at the wharyes u,,on
'he ARRIVAL of steamers. 1t seems that
there was misunderstanding about
the ruling of District Judge Whitney in
the case of the liveryman who was
arrested for soliciting on the wharves.
TO the detriment of the business of the
hackmen.
AS matter of fact, it has become a
common thing for drivers of livery rigs
and automobiles to frequent the
wharves upon the arrival of steamers,
and solicit trade in opposition to the
regularly licensed hackmen. The hack
men protested, and at last had one
particular driver of a livery rig ar
rested i'm order to make test case
And, after he had been arrested the
hackmen seemed to forget it for time.
At all events, they produced no evil
dence in court that the man had been
soliciting trade. The driver arrested,
whose interest in the affair was more
vivid, testified that he had not gone
there to solicit trade, but that the
stable to which the rig belonged had
been ordered to send it to the wharf
10 meet a particular man. This man
was met and hauled away.
It was on this showing that the driver
was discharged, Judge Whitney deliv-
ering a written opinion in which he
held distinctly that the livery license
did not cover the right to do a hack
business. OF course, that makes a
difference, and the hackmen will prob
ably now proceed against their enc
mics.

Moore pointed out that the board had
already appropriated money for this
bill under the electric light appropria-
ton, but the supervisors rescinded
their former action and made out a
new demand, ordering Frazee to pay
the warrant for $14.25 to the two men
named in the warrant.
This warrant with the facts of the

Greatest Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
In existence was the Furcns dam Gin
Franco, the total height OF which was

works dam near Denver, on the South
Fork OF the Platte river, says Crilten-
den Marriott in November Technical

present holds the record In one re.
