Mrs. Sarah Martin, of 255 High

from a visit at the home of Mrs. Clara

to confer with Mrs. Gilman in regard

ganization that he has Joined the
navy.
When interviewed this morning,
Mrs. Martin, who is his grandmother,
said that the many reports circulated
about him going to Mexico and other
far distant points are untrue. She
stated that he wanted to join the
navy from boyhood, and it is sup
posed that he was tired of waiting
and grasped his only opportunity He
will remain at Norfolk for a short
time, after which he will sail either
to Newport, r. L., or San Francisco.
The wedding of his sister, Miss
Bessie Gilman, well-known in this
city, was to have been an elaborate
affair, but on account of the disap-
pearance of her brother, who at that
time had not been located, the affair
was very quiet. Miss Gilman was
married to Frank c. Wilson, OF

Thought to Have Been OriOln of
Fire at Standard Terra
Gotta Works.
HAY PILE AND FENCE BURNED.
The Blaze Was Extinguished With
Very Little Trouble With Buckets
of Water, but the Firemen Had to
Tear Down Portion of the Fence
Which Had Also Become Ignited-
Firemen Quickly on the Scene.

An alarm of fire was turned In
from box "a at Lehigh avenue and
Stanford street about 500 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The fire. which
was in a pile of salt hay at the Stand
ard Terra Gotta Works, caused much
smoke and attracted a large crowd
of people to the scene. 1t is thought
that a spark from passing loco
motive on the Lehigh Valley railroad
set fire to the pile of hay, which was
near a fence facing the tracks.
Eagle Hose Company, Protection
Hook and Ladder Company and Lin
coin Engine Company were quickly
on the scene and, with few streams
of water, easily extinguished the
blaze
1t was necessary for the firemen
to tear down a portion OF fence
which had caught fire. The pile OF
hay was only partially consumed
and, with the exception of the dam
aged fence, the loss was slight. The
hay is used to pack terra Gotta.

wound punctured the intestines.
Seine, who was caught the follow
ing day at South Amboy, through
good work on the part of the police,
confessed TO the stabbing and said

board bill. He signed a statement
and was taken to the county jail at
New Brunswick, where he has been
held without bail awaiting the con-
dition of Pari, who had been removed
to the city hospital Immediately after

held being atroclous assault.

nesses. Mrs. Pari claimed to know

FIRE AT KAPAA.

About o'clock last Saturday night
the residents of Kappa were startled
by fierce cracking in the cane ac-
companied by a bright light shed over
the sky.
1t turned out that the Waipouh field
across the road from the race track
was ablaze. The field is some distance
away from any of the camp so it took
some time before large force of men
could be called to the place of danger,
and the fire therefore gathered con-
siderable Roadway before concerted eff
forts could be made to limit the area
of devastation. As soon as the laborers
arrived a swath was cut around the
blaze and further progress of the fire
stopped
The next morning it was found that
about eighty acres of cane had been
burned, but as it was ripe and ready
to be cut little or no damage was
done as the mill commenced to grind
it on Monday.
It has not been discovered how the
fire originated, the distance from any
source of danger seeming to preclude
its being classed as aeeidental.-Garden

The third annual report of the Civic
Federation is out. Following is the
report of the president, Hon W. r
Castle:
To the Civic Federation of Hawaii:
A report from the President seems
hardly necessary, except to direct at
tention to the reports of the sub-com-
mittees of the Executive Committee,
which are the working arms of the
association, and whose reports show
what has been done.
The membership of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON is now about one hundred and
forty-five, after deducting those who
have departed, died and two resigned.
Their support and assistance has been
vital to the Executive Committee. In
deed it is more than likely that work
in some lines would have been dropped
or altogether omitted, had not the fact
of this backing been an ever-present
assurance. The Executive Committee
has always had in mind, and, in it's
acts, endeavored to do, those things
which the whole association would
have favored and directed could it
have been called together each time
that occasion required. The theory
on which the whole society is formed
and acts, is based on the experience of
live and active associations Of this
character elsewhere. This is a society
comprising the intelligent and moral
portion of the community, acting
through an executive arm elected by
the members from theeir own num-
lbers. It is necessary to observe that
our society does not yet comprise all
Of the moral and intelligent persons
in this community. Our numbers will
be largely increased when all of that
class join. They are invited. In order
to prevent falling into ruts, and stay
ing there, as might be the case if the
Executive Committee were simply re-
elected from time to time, the princi-
pie of rotation has been adopted
There are fifteen members of the COM
mlttee; five go out of office each year
and are not eligible for reelection for
at least one year. IF the association
will take note Of this and see to it
that the vacancies are filed by earnest
and active men, our usefulness can be
much increased and the interest Of
each member will become heightened
The members of the Executive Com
mittee whose terms expire with the
annual meeting to be held March 2S
are as follows: F. s. Dodge. Theo.
Richards, J. r. Gait, r. H Trent and
W. r. Castle. Let there be a full at
tendance and a careful selection Of
men to take up and carry on the i'm
portant civic duties devolving on the
association.
Several time during the year past,
members have expressed a desire to be
given more active part in the work
of the Federation, and to have a vote

a box and the remedy worked equally
