paragraph, which originated we be-
lieve. in Portland:
1.-The Maine Methodist Conference to
be held in Portland next April and the
East Maine Conference at Calais will
have for their presiding Bishop the
same Bishop Quayle whose breezy
Western way recently so shocked the
Brooklyn brethren. Among other
things Bishop Quayle said he favored
lawn tennis courts as an adjunct to
the church parish house, with various
other opportunities for healthy out
door sports conducted under proper
supervision. The question was asked
him if he favored Sunday baseball,
and his reply was: I am very much in
favor of baseball, and l am not in the
habit of doing or countenarcing things
on week days that l do not think
right on Sunday This utterance
scandaliZed some of the timers of
the South Brooklyn Conference, and
they expressed their views with some
force after the Bishop had gone"

Joseph Taylor of Skowhegan heard
an animal walking around in his door
yard Saturday evening and stepped
out to see what sort of beast it might
be. He was met by large sheep thar
looked gentle enough and Joe stepped
toward it to lead it into his barn. The
sheep being of the male breed backed
away about six feet and when Joe
thought Of anything more he was roll
ling in the snow and the sheep was
standing at a short distance survey
ing his victim. Joe started to rise but
on seeing the sheep lower his head as
II to make things more certain next
time Joe lay quiet. He watched his
chance however, and when the sheep
appeared to have lost interest in him
he quickly jumped up and made for the
door, but the sheep started, too, and
just as Joe was about to step onto the
piazza the sheep struck him in the
calves Of the legs and Joe fell over
backward and struck his head on top Of
the sheep's horns. He was desperate
and grabbed hold of the sheep just as
he was about to back up again. There
he held him and soon had him con-
quered. In Joe's barn Sunday morning
hung a dead buck. The owner of the
sheep came and claimed him and look
ing at JOe'S SCARED face did not ask for
damages but thought that Joe was the
one who got the worst of the scrim-
mage.

TWO FIRES
WITHIN AN HOUR
Firemen Do Good Work With the
Wind Carrying Showers
of Sparks.
tFrom Thursdays Advertiser.)


Two alarms of fire were responded to
last evening by the fire department,
the first one being turned in shortly
after six o'clock from a box at Queen
and Cook streets, the Central station
making the run. A house owned by
Lee Toma and occupied by Chinese
named Ho Sui, caught fire from an
overturned lamp. The Hackfeld sta
bles ran out the Badger fire extinguish-
er on wheels and took it to the burn
ing house and held the flames down
with the chemical apparatus until the
arrival of the fire companies. The fire
extinguisher prevented the entire
building from being destroyed.
Shortly after half-past seven an
alarm was rung in from box 81, corner
of Kapiolani and Green streets, by Mr..
Lyon. The Makiki department re.
sponded. The fire was in small sta
BILE and servant quarters at the rear
of the residence of William Montrose
Graham. Owing to the wind prevail
ing at the time, the flames We're ear
ried into the yard of Doctor Moore,
adjoining on the Eva side, and the
servants quarters there took fire and
were destroyed. Sparks falling upon
the roof of Doctor Moore's house set
fire to the shingles, and only the
prompt action of Mr.. Lyon and some
boys prevented the residence from be-
ing enveloped in flames. A small gar
den hose was used to good advantage
on the roof. The paint was blistered
on the sides of the house and some
panes of glass cracked by the heat.
When the firemen arrived they found
Mr.. Graham and few others franti-
cally working with small hose and
buckets of water endeavoring to pre-.
vent the spread of the blaze. The
stables and two sets of servants quar-
tiers were entirely destroyed. just how
the fire started, was not known, but
probably from light in the servants
quarters. There was a quantity of
paint in the stable.
The fire department did good work,
as many residences were jeopardized
by the high wind blowing.

orders were given to heave the YES

Then it was that the captain was
missed. Search was instituted, but the
men had their fears, and soon it was
known that the ships master had been
lost.
The young sailor at the wheel SAYS
that when he was thrown against the
RAN he felt something heavy strike and
pass over him, and he is of the opinion
that this was the body of the captain.
Mrs, Underwood, when informed of the
fate of her husband, bore up bravely
under the blow, and later when the
vessel had ridden ont the storm and

and the splendid new institution that

Lydeeker did not attempt TO find out
how the Princess obtained the famous
land at Kaawaloa, Kona, Hawaii, where
the hardy English adventurer met his
death and was satisfied when his search
resulted in finding out what the two
governments have been DESTROYS of
knowing for some time.
The deed is dated January 90, 1877,
and conveys to Wodehouse, who was
then the consul of Great Britain here,
56s2.6 square feet of land surrounding
the shaft. Wodehouse, of course, was
acting as the trustee of Britain in the
matter.
In the letter received a few days
ago by Acting. Governor Mott-Smith
from the department of the interior,
doubt was expressed as to whether the
land was ever really decided by the
Hawaiian government to Great Britain.
The result of Lydecker's search shows
the doubt to have been well founded
for the transaction was strictly private.
Secretary Garfield, on his visit here,
expressed the same doubt and at that
time requested that thorough search
be made for the deed.
Now, that all doubts as to the owner
