OINTED BISHOP OF ZEUGMA, MONG the many to arrive in port resterday on the Oceanic Steam- | ship Company's liner Alameda | was the Rev. Father Libert Hu- bert Boeynaems from the Ha- | watian Islands. Father Libert has ar- rived in San Francisco with a brief from the late Pontiff, Leo XIII, creating him | | Bisnop of Zeugma, to which high office | he will be consecrated at 8 o’clock on Sat- urday morning at St. Mary's Cathedral by his Grace Archbishop Riordan. Father Libert before leaving the islands | was almost prepared to hear of tfie death | of the Holy Father, the daily cables to | | Hawall having conveyed repcrts that| | gave warning of the approaching end of the Pontiff. | The consecration will therefore have much that is sad for the Bishop-elect, as his appointment by Leo XIII may be said to have been one of the Pontiff's last acts é The Bishop-elect was born in Antwerp in 1857. He is a sturdy man with distin- | guished bearing and is genial, extremely kindly in manner and considerate to a degree. YOUNG PRIEST LABORS. Father Libert was appointed to the mis- sion of the Hawailan Islands in 1881 In 1882 he was stationed with the raission at | Kauai, and worked diligently throughout | that northern part of the island. So sat- | isfactory were the young priest's labors | that he was transferred in 1855 to the southen part of Kaual. He bullt chapels in the northern districts, adding to the already established places of worship of the Roman Catholic faith. One of the | churches built through his instrumental- | ity bears the native name, Lihue. He| also added churches in the southern part of the island to the already established places of worship. Father Libert, after much work and perseverance, erected a church at Eleele ELECTS ITS DIRECTORS Outside Grain Men Carry Out Pro- gramme to Keep McNearjOut of New Board. The Merchants' Exchange yesterday persisted in its plan not to re-elect its president, George W. McNear. The elec- tion of directors took place and while the old board was re-elected with only one exception, that exception was George W. — and before leaving that district, in 189, he had the satisfaction of seeing a third church erected in the locality. He then removed to Wailuku, the central part of the island, and while there his services | were also required at three other mis- | sfons. There he found schools in excel- lent condition and’ doing much good, the boys' school being under the direction of brothers and the girls’ school conducted by the Franciscan Sisters of Syracuse, New York. 4 Father . Libert - remained . at Wailuku until December last, when, hearing of the serious illness of Bishop Gulstan Ropert, he hastened to his side at Hilo to give him spiritual comfort in what proved to be a fatal illness. IS CREATED BISHOP. The Bishop, feeling that his recovery was uncertain, appointed Father Libert “Pro-Vicar or administrator, which prac- ticall¥ placed him in charge of the whole of the mission of the Hawallan Islands. The Bishop died January 4, last, and on May 12 Father Libert received a cable message from the Superior General of the Order of the Sacred Heart in Paris first telling him that he had been appointed successor to the late Bishop; then, on June 10, last, Father Libert received his | 'briefs from Leo XIII, announcing his ap- pointment as Bishop of Zeugma, the ec- cleslastical title held by the present Arch- bishop Farley when coadjutor to the late Archbishop Corrigan of New York. The title has nothing at all to do with the c¢hurch or mission of the Hawalian Islands, but is a title taken from one of the ancient dioceses of -Syria. Immediately upon receipt of the brief from his Holiness, Leo- XIII, Father Li- bert, wrote to Archbishop® Riordan asking to be consecrated Bishop in San Fran- cisco. Archbishop Riordan at once replied, inviting Father Libert to come to this city for the purpose of the ceremony. 2 e e e e o MERCHANTS’ EXCHANGE Child Falls From Window. | they tried to extinguish the flames with | | from box 26 | whose escape had been cut off, and from | SMOKE GUTS OFF ESCAPE Special Sale TENPORRRILY - Novelty ... Panic in Rialto Build- ing Due to Base- ment Fire. Several Are Overcome by Noxious Fumes Before Help Arrives. Dan Flynn and Chris Brandhorst, Elevator Boys, Prove Themselves Heroes by Sticking to Their Posts. FETEFIFER My For half an hour yesterday afternoon more than half a hundred people were penned on the top floors of the Rialtp building, corner of Mission and New Montgomery streets, by volumes of chok- ing smoke arising from an incipient fire in the basement. Before they could be led to places of safety by the firemen several women were overcome by the dense fumes and were carried unconscious down the 3moke-filled staircase to the safety of the street. Without the slightest warning people in offices more than a hundred feet from the street were suddenly driven to their windows and the roof by black clouds of suffocating smoke, which came from some unknown source. To the fear of fire was added the element of panic and it is little short of miraculous that many people were not forgotten in the confu- sion and left to suffocate. SMOKE PREVENTS ESCAPE. The fire, which started in the basement of the store of the Yawman & Erbe Man- ufacturing ¢ Company, 635-639 Mission street, was quickly communicated to a large dust and waste paper shaft which runs up the whole length of the elevator shaft to the top of the building. It was from this that the smoke poured out into every floor, making escape to those on the upper stories impossible for the time being. A few minutes before 6 o’clock H. Chaing, the night e'evator boy, while changing his clothes in the basement, detected the presence of a blaze in the cellar of Yaw- man & Erbe's establishment. He called | Night Watchman Leavitt and together | a small hose, but to no purpose. Falling In their efforts an alarm was turned in and later a second alarm was turned in. When the smoke began pouring up the elevator and waste paper shafts Dan Flynn and Chris Brandhorst, the two | elevator boys, proved themselves heroes. | In the murky blackness they continued to run thelr elevators, taking excited pas- sengers from every floor until after eight or ten trips thelr machines caught fire and had to be abandoned at the top floor. By the time that the fire companies arrived the roof was lined with people some of the windows of the upper floors | vigorous cries for help were being sent down. The firemen could not get into the bullding on the ground floor on ac- | count of the smoke, but a ladder was holsted to the third floor and from that several of them entered the building and piloted the panic-stricken inmates to safety.

Flint, Miss Eliza Trickler and Mrs. Mary Hall, a.. janitresses, were partially over- come in the upper halls and would have suffered suffocation had not J. McBride dragged them through the smoke to the street below. WOMAN IS UNCONSCIOUS. One of the last women to be carried unconscious from the building was Mrs. L. Flynn, a janitress employed on the sixth floor of the building. The moment that she noticed the smoke she ran into the hall and was advised by one of the firemen to go up to the roof until the smoke cleared away from the stairs. She accordingly went up on the roof and pa- tiently awaited to be rescued. In a short time a firemaw went for her and she was carried downstairs. The smoke was so thick that she became unconscious and it took several minutes to recover when she was eventually safely landed on the sidewalk. By chopping through the roof of the sidewalk vault the firemen finally got sev- eral streams of water turned on the flames. By great effort a line of hose was dragged up the twisted stalrways to the top floor, where the fire had made its appearance after eating Its way up the dust shaft. From this hose the build- ing received a damaging drenching before the fire was put out. Although all of those renting offices in the building, to the numbef of about sev- enty-five, were losers by smoke and wa- ter, the heaviest damage was confined to the two lower stores facing on Mission street. The heaviest loser is the Standard Elec- tric Construction Company. This firm had between $40,000 and $50,000 worth of electric fixtures in the basement, which are more or less damaged by water. They have the contract for furnishing the Ho- tel Francis and the new Flood bullding with electric fixtures and they were stored in the basement, awaiting the completion of the bulldings. These fix- tures are a total loss. The Yawman & Erbe Manufacturing Company has about $15,000 worth of office fixtures and desks, which were stored in the basement, ruined by water. distributed with the following companies: Commercial Fire Insurance Company, German-American Insurance Company, Continental Insurance Company of New York, Phoenix Insurance Company and the Royal Insurance Company of Hart- ford, Conn. The Wagner Bullock Electric Company had $25,000 electric stock in the basement, which was ruined. They carry between $18,000 and $22,000 insurance. H. W. Law, one of the owners of the building, places the damage to the prop- erty at not more than $500. According to J. M. Bowen, manager of 4he Yawman & Erbe Manufacturing Com- pany, the fire was due to the carelessness of some carpenters who were construct- ing a partition in the basement and left the electric wires dangling with the in- sulation rubbed off. —_——— Accused of Forgery. Henry Mohr, a grocer of 876 Mission street, secured a warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of J. H. Muenz on a charge of forgery. He said that on July 18 Muenz asked him to cash a check for $33 purporting to be signed by D. McRae, secretary of the Donald McRae Furniture Company, drawn on the City and County Bank, and he advanced him $23 on the check. When the check was presented at the bank the signature of McRae was declared a for- gery. The firm | carries about $13,500 insurance, which is | Attacked a Consulate Clerk. T. J.
