CONFLAGRATION AT HONAM
Canton, Yesterday. The public was looking forward yesterday to the functioning the electric clocks which now em- bellish the crossings of the main thoroughfares of the city. Great was the disappointment when it mischief was learned that sume makers had ent the wires of some the clocks, thereby putting the whole system out of order.
Repairs are being made and it is hoped that in a few days all the city clocks will be working..

A Grenade Factory!
The exploding of the grenade manufactory situated in the see- tion of the Hoitong monastery in Honam at 1.20 p.m. yesterday, caused by contact with lightning brought a total loss estimated at the value of $100,000 upwards. The building was totally destroy- ed by the fire which followed the explosion.
The local fire brigade was early on the spot and much credit is due for their successful efforts to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings.
During the explosion, rumbling
