MANAWA BATHROOMS BURNED. Sult to Recover Insurance Stewart's Packing House~Made Biind by a Cinder—The Buzar—Personals, on An Alleged Prohibition Afdavit. Charles Allen, whose affidavit regarding the ownership of the Mint property on Broadway was publisned in these columns yesterday morning, steppod into Tun Bee office yesterday, and denied that he ever sigaed such an affidavit, or in fact any af- davit whatever, touching on this matter. He was informed that the afidavit was signed with his name, and the signature wit- nessed by a well known notary public of the city. He still insisted that he had not signed it, and gave the following statement of his conuection with the case: Swid he, “Boulton and Dave Gray tried to get me to sign an afldavit, and they took me up to Boulton's oftice. ‘They had a jug of whisky there, and they gotme pretty full, Duteh’ Bill was there too. ~ We would talk a little and then take a driok, and [ guess I Rot pretty gay, but I wasu't 8o full that I Qidw't know what I was doing. They want- ed me to sign & paper, but 1 wouldu’t do it, and every time I refused they would cive me auotner drink, [ knew what they were up to all the time, and I know that they didu’t catch me, 1 don’'t believe my name is signed there.” When again_informed that it was, ho again expressed doubt about being so Tuil that he didu't know what he was doing, but was not us certain as he was befory Under whatever circumstances the afi- davit may have been secured, it is drawn up in regular form, duly witnessed, and bears a notorial seal. Allen insists that he would not huve signed any per in lis sober moments, and denounces the parties above- named for taking such steps to secure his signature, it his statement is true, it must bo ad- mitted that the course pursued isa little wrregular, and somewhat unusual as well, as alleged probibition attorneys are not given to iilling up their witnesses with either straight whisky or “rectifiedgoods,” in or- der to sceure the almissions desired, Thero will undoubtedly be fun when this caso is called for trial and the afidavits introduced in evidence, g T Tube paints Tigc at Chapman’s ars store, L B S.

The cntire side of the building near the boiler was in flames and they had littlo time to de- vote to anything except getiingout. All pails on the beach were in the room where the fire occurred and there was nothing - i which to carry water or the greater part of the proverty could have been saved. As it was, the fire made a clean sweep entirely de- ing everything on the beach that woula burn. The bath houses, saloon buildings, restaurants, pavilion, booths and benches wero all licked *up 'by the flames. The greater part of the proverty was owned by Odell Bros, and as Mr. E. H. Odell ex- presses it, “I'he sand and wator is all that is left.” Tue bath houses were valued at $1.000, and were not insured. The total 10ss will reach $1,500. Mr. Odell announces that he will re- build the bath houses in the spring, and in connection with them will put in two water toboggan slides. The work will be done early in the spring and completed before the season opens, It is supposed that the fire caught from the boiler, aithough some attri- bute the work to au incendiary, but the gen- eral belief sustains the former ‘theory. The beach is now s pt clean, not an ember than a man's hand remaining. Noth- ing was done to arrest the flames. dhshiteslan Get Fountain ic cigar, next Eiseman block, Kelley & Younkerman sell groceries, Chase aud Sanborn coffecs a specialty.

An incident occurred in this city a few days ago that proves woman loves strength and courage in man s much as in days of old, and likes to see them exercised, 00, says a San Francisco dispatch. Mrs. Howard Coit, at one time Miss Lillie Hitch cock, who was reverenced by all the old fire laddies of days long ago when she ran with the “masheen,” is that lady who was determined to see for hersell how the males of modern days showed their strength and prowess. Mrs. Coit resides 1n the Palace hotel. She has an ample income and nothing gives her so much pleasure s to spend her time and money in the entertain- ment of her young friends of both soxes. She is always getting up yacht- ng parties, tennis parties, theater par- ties, and all sorts of entertainments for the enjoyment of her friends of the fashionable world. Her invitations have always been received with pleasurable anticipations, for she is the most charm- ing of hostesses. Vor the last few months, however, the lady noticed that the invitations she sen't out to the members of the sterner sex to attend her parties evidently failed to reach them, or those to whom they were sent did not care to accept. The climax was reached when, Tuesday night iast, some of the most popular gentlemen whom she expected at her rosebud party failed to materialize. She sent for some of the delinquent mem bers, all members of the Union club., Report hus it that Joe Austin was first placed on the rack. After listening to several excuses Mrs, Coit was not_long in arriving at the cause of their deser- tion, *'The fact is,” said one of them, ‘‘your party is lor the snme night as the great middleweight contest at the Culifornia Athletic, club, and as wem- bers we forced to attend.” The ludy could not understand why gentlemen should like to attend those Shorrid” prize-ights in preference to meeting Sa sanoisco’s protuy society ladies. ‘*You ought to see one,” wis said to her, The lady signified her as- sent and the gentlemen said they would make arrangements to satisfy her curiosity., Last night four of the wealthiest ' young bachelors in San Francisco, dressed in even- ing attive, were reccived by the lady in her apartments ‘in the hotel. They were accompanied by four muscular- looking men well enough dressed but evidently not quite at home in the apartments of a \{ of fashion. After a whispered colloquy with the hostess one of the gentlemen introduced SJimmy” and *Jack,” two of the most famous middlewcight fighteys vow in San neisco. The lady was assured that notning would be siid of the affair and the men proceeded to elear the front room of its farniture, it was thought advisan no 2 the carpet up, and tants and their seconds were the must not make any remark ing the pr s of the muich the four young swells said ho bud be chosen véferee, another was time-keeper and the others acted as judges for the contestants. ‘They took their places around an improvised ring, while the lady was accommodated with an arm- chair on atable from which she could see overy move of the fight. The men were at the head of their class and the purse was a big one. They wore ready to fight for blood, and bare knuckles were suggestod, but this was frowned down as the possible source of danger. [t is not necessary to deseribe the fight in detail. Blood was drawn after a few sharp ratlies. The lovely spectator neither fainted nor scroamed, After threo-quarters of an hour's hard fighting, and when both of the pugiiists had bleeding noses; when the carpet was stained and both men were tired, her favorite landed a blow on the other one's fuce that made him stagger. The fellow was game, though, and came up on time, but he was dazed and dis- trossed, ‘‘Shall we call it a draw and divide the purse?” asked the referce. The conqueror waited with a confident look on his face. The beaten man sent an apoealing glance toward the arm chair thag would have touched the heart of most men unless compelled to ignore the appeal by a sense of duty. The lady suid not a word, but turned her thumbs down, eclfiiiiind AN ISLAND OF FLESH. The Bark Otto Solves Ocean Mystery. The captain of the bark Otto, which has lately arrived at this port, solved a curious ocean mystery on the voyare here. and long-puzzled navigators™ and hydrographers all over the country are laughing over the Jules Verne-like so- lation of a problem which has been botheving them for the pastsix months. Some time ago a mysterious island was reported to have suddenly appeared south of Newfoundland, or nautically speaking, in latitude 45 dégrees north, longitude 56 degroes west. The look= outs of several incoming vessels had sighted it and the captains, after tak- ing observations to locate its position, duly reported it to the hydrographic authorities. Among the captains who had located the 18land were Captain Parrington, of the ship St. Charles; Captain Reed, of the bark Isabel; Captain Symonds, of the ship Flying Scud; Captain Bateman, of the bark Emerson, and the masters of several English steamships. They had scen the island with their own eyes,and their statements could not be doubted, although no isiands have ever been known at that particular spot in the Atlantic ocean. These masters re- ported that they had seen many birds upon the island, but no vegetation, The stories of these captains varied somewhat us to the exact geographical position of the island, but this was laid to natural discrepancies of caleulation, and the government hydrographers wera alveady prepared to put the mysterious ocean arrival upon their next chart of the North Atlantic ocean. They will not do so now. The bark Otto, from manded by C; a Curions Harburg, com- ptain Grundsen, passed \ wnd on the voyage to this city, says the Philadelphia Record. Captain Grandsen is of an investigating turn of mind, and when his Jookout re- ported the.isiand abeam the captain de- cided to see more of it,and tacked thoe Otto up close to the dark mass which appeared above the sur of the water. Thousands of birds ware flying above it, and a school of gharks fled before the vessel’s approich. Upon approaching close to the sup- posed island, Captain Grundsen's astonishment was intense when he found that the great mass was apparent- ly floating upon the bosom of the ocean. He was still further amazed upon sail- ing nearer to 1t to tind that he was ap- proaching an enormous dead whale, which had been floating upon the swells of the sea for many months. The monster, from the captain’s de- scription, i probably the largest whale ever seen in Atlantic waters. Accord- ing to Captain Gruudsen’s statements, backed by those of his the animal was fully 100 feet longand 35 feet broad. The body was considerably decomposed, but was bloated enormously. The en- tire mass above er was covered with birds, which rose in screaming clouds as the vessel approached, while under it was surrounded with sharks, some of enormous size. Captain Grondsen, concluding that the island would not likely become a serious obstruction to navigation, sailed for this port, and the story of the my terious island was told to the hydro- graphic officers in this city. n Notes. A gallon of lard oil and a pint of kerosene make an excellent mixture as an ointment for scurf on hogs. It also destroys lice or other vermin that may infest the animals. It is stated by an experienced market gardener that the liberal use of wood ashes, well harrowed in, is the best remedy against ravages of the onion maggot and cut-worm. The country school 1s the source from which many diseases are spread, and in a majority of cases the well from which the drinking water isobtained is the cause, Clean all school wells yearly. To have a plentiful supply of early greens next season sow turnip seed now and allow the turnips to grow and re- main in the ground during the winter. A slight covering of straw will protect them, Bran is one of the best foods for cows that are expected to calve in a month or more. Bran abounds in phosphates,and will largely contribute to the growth of bone in the embryo calf, Many cases of abortion in cows arise from a lack of a proper supply of the necessary food ele- ments that support the dum and the young, S'JACOBS O], ALL THE LEADING HORSEMEN USE NO OTHER REMEDY, ¥or Salo by Druggls THE CHAHLES A.
