HAWAII.

HAWAII.
From Kohala We have the following items:
Cornelius Bond, Esq, has been made happy by
the arrival of boy baby.
Mr. Stains returned home on Wednesday steam
er, looking much better than when he left.
Halawa Mill began grinding Wednesday, Feb.
18th, and is doing splendid work with promise OF
better. DIR. Nights cane is being crushed and
will yield very heavily.
Harris Mill is grinding on Judge Kamalela's cane
with ratoons yielding four tons A fume recently
built takes the to the mill whereby the cattle
are greatly relieved, and the work is better done
Kohala Plantation is grinding and getting the
benefit of their new traction engine, which hauls
the cane IN good shape.
Mr.. Renton's mill was forced to stop work on
Wednesday in consequence of breakage of the
large cog wheel, but expects to be ready for bust
ness in day or two again.
Mr.. Kinds mill is grinding on Mr. Woods cane
who as usual is making plenty of money.
The Star Mill is grinding and in fact Kohala is
very busy and turning out lots of sugar.
Akina is building fume from his cane fields in
Multi to the mill and will save lots of money there
by.
Butler and Blaisdel also expect to move their
cane by water
Thompson and Chaplin have got the water out of
the gulch on to their land and will by fiuming
their save one half the expense of getting it to
mill. The Kohala Plantations seem to have plenty
of water to do SO but have not put it to use yet.
The schooner EugeHia Briggs on her last trip to
Hamakua met with very heavy weather. In land
ing some heavy freight an enormous roller took
the boat and smashed it into kindlng wood
hoo
lost
The wire-rope landing at Honokaa, Hamakua,
Hawaii, has been fairly tested last week. when the
Lehua, during a stay of twenty-four hours alto
gether, took 1000 packages of sugar on board. The
weather was boisterous and rough sea, and the
Lehua had been greatly delayed at all other land
ings, both at Kohala and Hamakua. Without
railroad facilities wire-rOpe landing seems TO be
the most practicable means of communication on
the windward coast of these Islands, and the expe-
rience gained at great expense, proves to be of
advantage to the general public.
Paikahawai who has been tried for arson COM
mitted at Kappa was found guilty and sentenced
to years imprisonment at hard labor; Namas,
gross-cheat, sentenced to months Lauhulu,
stabbng, sentenced to months and fine of $50
Another homicide has occurred. 1t was at Wahi-
ava plantation owned by Mr. Drier and the Nc
Bryde heirs. Chinaman stabbed his brother who
died after few days. Circumstances indicate
possibility of it being accounted for otherwise
than as cold blooded murder.
The roads on the Island are in admirable con-
dition. The Road Supervisor is the right man in
the right place. He seems TO know that il is as well
or better to go around rather than over the hills
The grades are regular and easy and the road beds
well kept: Other parts of the kingdom might take
lessons of Kauai on the road question.
The Spring TIE nm of the Supreme Court has been
sitting at Lihue, Justice McCully presiding. The
business was disposed of with celebrity. The two
homicide cases were transferred to Honolulu for
trial IN April next before the Supreme Court Dis
trict Judge Lilikalani of Hawaiian brought be-
fore the Court on writ of mandamus in the case
of Chinaman who was convicted before him last
September and who duly appealed but has in spite
of the appeal been kept in jail ever since. The
appeal was ordered sent up by the Court. 1t is
time that this parody on a Judge stopped.
Llllkalani has won for himself the contempt of
Kauqi people.
