Close Minor Mention ,
Put Up the Cards.
The gambling houses closed a short time
ago , rather suddenly and mysteriously , close
upon the Issuance of an order of Mayor
Oronewcg. Soon after the grand Jury com
pleted its labors and adjourned , the doors
were thrown wide open again , and the chips
were rattling as lively as ever. It sccuica
that the fact of the grand Jury being in ses
sion must have had an oven stronger influence
than the order of the mayor , or the supiwscd
order , for thus for no formal order on the
subject has been made public. Now comes
a notice from the county attorney , which will
probably bo speedily heeded. This Is especi
ally to bo expected as the grand Jury will
soon bo in session again. Between the two
millstones a vigorous prosecuting attorney ,
and a grand Jury it seems as If the gambling
houses would have to close.at least for a short
vacation , or elie be ground through. The fol
lowing is the ofllcial notification of the county
attorney :
NOTICE TO fUMm.r.iis.
Notice is hereby given to nil persons who
on or after January 1. 13S8 , shall keep n
house , shop , room or other place resorted to
for the purpose of gambling , or who permits

care or management to play nt cards , dice ,
faro , roulette , equality or other games for
money or anything of value within Potta-

summarily by the seizure of all such gambling
implements , or gambling devices , and the ar

Oh , K ts !
In starting up the new steam heating ap
paratus for the court house but few difficul
ties arose , and these were such as would
naturally occur in such an extensive and
complicated system of pipes. One section of
the steam heating bothered n great deal ,
however , and there was a great mystery ns
to why that section would not heat properly.
I The water stood in the pipes , . ar.i\ the steam
I would iiot circulate. It'took'somo time unu
\ no'littlo labor to learn the cause. It was dis-
covered that a rat had got into the pipes in
some way , and had there met his death , and
his body had become lodged in one of the
elbows where it proved a complete cstoppal
to n flow of waterorescupcof steam. Where
he was going , how he got started , or got
stopped , can only bo conjectured. The only
thing certain is that he was there.

CAST AWAY ON A DESERT ISLAND.
A Mate Murders Hit ) Captain and Is
Iicft Alone to Die.
A San Francisco spccinl to the New
York World relates this story : The
Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of De
cember 7 { jives the following nccount of
the adventures of. two survivors of the
schooner General Scgel , who spent nine
months on the South Sea inlands :
The two survivors , of the General
Sigol's crow are a young man named
Kdward Olson , a native of Norway , and
a German lad of nineteen , named Wil
liam Timpo. In the course of a , conver
sation with them the following account
of their experiences was gathered : The
General Sigol left Honolulu on Scptom-
cer 1 , 1880 , for the French Frigate
Shoals on a shurk-fibhing expedition.
Her crow was compo&od of Captain Ah-
erdinoAdolph .Torgentho mate ; the two
men already named , Peter Larkin
Brown , Martin , Noilfeon and Charles
Clemens. In the outlet of the voyage
the crow wore very successful in ohtuSn-
ing quite a large cargo. On September
23 they arrived oil Midway island. On
the night of November 10 the vebcl
was riding at anchor off this island , the
crew being camped on shore. The in
tention was to leave for Honolulu on the
following day.
Towards midnight a gale arose , the
vessel broke from her moorings and
drifted ashore , and the crow found
themselves cast upon a desert island ir
mid-ocean. Their only means of sub
sistence was sea birds and their eggi
and lish. Fortunately there was no luck
of this kind of food , and un ample sup
ply of fresh water was at hand. Undei
thcso conditions they dragged out s
weary existence for nine months , aiu
their experiences during that tinu
marked by some thrilling episodes
some of which will probably form the
subject of future investigation.
About ten days after they reached the
island a painful accident happened t <
Peter Larkin. While killing lish witl
giant powder ono of his hands win
blown otT , and although everything possible
siblo under the cfrciimstances was dente <
to alloviuto his sufferings ho siiccumbec
to the injury and died in a few days
After this a feud appears to have arif-ei
between Mate Jorgen and the captain
which the survivors attribute .solely ti
id the murderous instincts of the mato. I
igor is stated that on ono occasion this mm
deserted from the Gorman ol
or ves > Apolli
id while at Honoluluwhore he was arrestci
us in consequLiico. The circumstance !
usy connected with this caused him to entertain
ar tortain feelings of enmity towards tin
ill German consul , in this city , and brood
ing over his anger ho repeatedly expressed
pressed his intention while on the \f
land of taking that gentleman's life a
the first opportunity. Captain Abei
dine remonstrated with him an
ho , fearing what might bo the upshot e
these threats , seems to have turnci
his hand not only against the captain
but against ether mumbors of the crow
William Timpo says that on ono occn
slon , while ho was alone in the lin
which they occupied , taking up som
eggs to servo at the meal , Sorgon cam
stealthily behind him , put a rep
tilN. - around his neck and attempted t
N. sttangle him. Tlio lad called loudl
N.ft for help , when the rope was slackenc
; and Jorgon desisted from his purpose
M. saying : "Don't say anything about i
I don't want to do you any harm. "
iw It should bo stated hero that what i
known as Midway island is in realit
two islands , ono in circular form , tb
(0
ono on which the men lived , and tli
ir- ether a long , narrow strip of land gem
-
ir-
irm two or three miles to the north. Arri1
lie m ing at the island the moff found an ol
i.u hut which the men utilized as A dom
cilo ; a Japanese gcow , supposed to hav
been left there by Captain Bohnm , un
o. a boat belonging to the wrecked
Dunnottar Crstlo , which had evident !
drifted there from Ocean ialiuid. The
alfco saved a boat from the Goner
