when she got up was right on the place where sh
left the lamp. She thought the mosquito he
had caught from the lamp. She tried to get a
the boy. but he was in the middle of the fire
A verdict was returned that the boy ''came I
his death by the accidental burning of the hous
he was in"
Or Tuesday, abo1t 4:3O pm, a Portuguese
found the dead body of a Chinaman lying unde
a Esaca tree in a blind watercourse on the lowe
slope of Punchbowl, mauka of Mr.. Ways resi-
dence. A Coroner's jury of Chinese was EN-
panelled and viewed the body. which was subse
quently removed to the Pauoa cemetery where il
will be buried to-day. The man was identified
as Chung Sang, who resided in a house OF
Maunakea street where the old gas premises
used to be. An examination of the body was
made by DR.. Brodie in presence OF
the Coroner, David Dayton, Esq, and dis
closed no marks of violence. The man
had evidently been dead one or two days.
Chung Sang had been engaged in business
as partner in a washouse and in a store. He
left in his room, under the lamp, a folded paper,
on which were found certain memoranda as to
cash received and purchases made, followed by
two charges against his partners of emitting
some trivial entries from the books of the firm.
Apparently he had set everything in order for
his journey to the other world, he and his
partners not agreeing well. Those who knew
him say he was addicted to the use of opium,
and it is surmised that he died of an overdose
probably taken Intentionally. He has been
missing from his home since Friday last.
The inquest on Ng Cheong Sang, the China
man who was found dead at the foot of Punch
bowl was r sumed on Wednesday. The evidence
showed that on Thursday last he and his partner
had a balancing of books which showed their
capital all gone and himself in debt to them about
$500. The jury returned a verdict that he died
'by suicide while in a state of dependency
from being unsuccessful in business"
A CHISAMAN who kept a store at Moanalua
was riding ont in that diranti0n on Wednesday,
afternoon when he was seen to fall from his
horse. Two Portuguese who happened to be at
hand picked him up and took him to his own
house. His injuries were so serious that he died
about middight. Besides severe bruises he had
some of his RIBS broken and these penetrated
the lungs and caused his death.
Mrs. WARD has given a contract to Mr..
fFessler to re-case the well on King street and
sink further with the view of obtaining as large
a head of water in proportion to the bore as
ether people have lately been getting.
THERE are two places where there is always
room for one more" One is in a packed Omni-
bus for another passenger, and the other one
is the 10 ok-out over the Telephone Station for
another wire; but in both cases it requires a
good deal of management to prevent confusion.
MRssRs. HoLLIsTER & Co. have entered into
negotiations with Messrs. Palmer & Co., with
the view of purchasing the business carried on
by the latter named firm on the corner of Fort
and Merchant streets. 1t is to be hoped that
Messrs. Hollister Il Co. will not corner the
market in l~axatives and soda water during this
hot weather.
A TEMPTING slice of wedding cake adorned the
editors table at the p. C.. ADVERTISER Office on
Tuesday morning-token of an suspicious, but
very quietly managed event which occurred the
night before at the residence of Mr.. John S.
Smithies, when Mr.. Malcolm Brown was mar
ried to Miss Alice Smithies. May the happy
couple" enjoy many years of unalloyed welded
bliss.
TIE work of removing the band stand from
the front of the Hawaiian Hotel was commenced
on the Eva side of the front of the Hotel, be-
hind Mrs. Macfarlaneis residence. The large
algeroba tree which stood mauka of the stand,
part of which was dead, has been cut down to
allow of the removal.
A NORWEGIAN, named Olansen, came down
from Kau with a warrant for the arrest of a
woman whom he alleges to be his wife, who had
deserted him and her bond service ON Kapapala
plantation. She has been in town about three
weeks, living with an Irishman, from whom she
appears to have extracted some 5000. She
denies that she was ever married to Olansen.
She will be sent back to Kau in custody.
WHILE the baggage of intending passengers
was being hoisted on board the Suez on Tuesday
evening, one load consisting of a heavy chest

sling that from the moment it left the wharf it
was plain to be seen that the boxes would soon
slip out, so they did when over main hatch, and
they dropped into the hold with something of a
crash. As the men who had the handling of the
baggage all laughed over the matter 1t is to be
presumed that the whole thing was merely a
joke. But it looked as though somebody might
get hurt if the f'joke'' were repeated too often.
The owner of the baggage might chance to be
around.

5 o'clock on Tuesday evening. She took away
quite a number of passengers and a light freight.
Amongst the shipments made was a large num-
Der of bundles of long, handsome sugarcane that
is sent to San Francisco for consumption by the
Chinese in that city. There were a number of
sacks filled with taro Tlants intended for cultiva-
ton in favorable localities on the Coast. Both
products were unknown on the Pacific slope
outside of the green house a few years ago, but
now, thanks to a rapid transit they are likely to
regular articles of export. !
tABouT 1:30 pm. on Tuesday, water was struck !
in the Artesian bore at Mr.. Philip Millions I
place on King strsst. In honor of the event Mr..
Milton sacrificed a fine sucking pig, and enter
tanned the contractor, Mr.. Fessler, and all hands
who have been working at the well, and one or
two other gentlemen in truly hospitable style.
Success to the well and its proprietor was drunk
in Artesian water, in the '"foaming vintage of
champagne and in a generous product of
Italian vineyards. The well is about 500 feet
deep and still being continued. When
the tools were drawn up yesterday afternoon the
head of water had increased so much that the
how above alive and fve-eighths inch casing
arose fourteen inches. Mr.. Milton is exactly
the man to make good use of this fine flow of
water, as his grounds bear witness. The grape
vines he imported from San Francisco two years
ago bore him 200 pounds of fine grapes this sea-
son. Fig trees which he imported at the same
time show now a fair crop of fruit. His peaches
are also doing well. For the vines he has con-
structed about an eigth an acre of trellis work
and they bid fair to cover it next season.
