The Court commented strongly on this abandonment, and consequent frustrating of justice, merely because one case had gone against the counsel, and afterwards dismissed all the cases. — The Panama Company's new warehouse was opened by a dinner to their employes and their families. 200 were present. — Sunday. — A fire broke out on the beach at one o'clock this morning. The following buildings were wholly destroyed: — South Sea Hotel, James' steam furnace establishment, Moffatt's dentistry, Kaae's drapery, Carmont's butcher's shop.
