THE box-sheet at Messrs. J. W. Robertson and
Co. s for Mr.. Kohler's benefit concert tomorrow
night cannot complain of want Of patronage, a
good augury of a full house. There Will be an
attractive programme, and the entertainment is
announced to close at that early hour which
Honolulu people find late enough to suit their
habits. Mr.. Kohler deserves from the people of
this town a crowded house. And the good feeling
which has prompted the Alaska Mlnstrels and
Others to tender him this benefit also deserves to
be acknowledged by a full attendance on the part
of the public.

An important water case was heard before Judge
McCullyo on Thursday. The superintendent of the
Waterworks has cut off the water from some %
premises, the occupants OF which, persisted in
.sing water illegally for irrigation. Mr.. Reimen-
schneider, one of those thus deprived of water
applied for a mandamus to compel the Department
to supply him. He admitted the breaches of the
regulations, but his counsel Mr.. s. Il. Dole, con-
tended that the Government were bound to supply
him with all the water he might choose to use.
Judge McCully refused the mandamus, and gayei it
as his opinion that Mr.. Wilson would not have
done his duty if he had failed to cut off the supply.
BLIND man named Kamaile, died at IL am
on Thursday and his wife, Hama, a man named Ka-
malu suspected of heine her paramount and a
Chinaman named Lee Sing, son-in-law to Kamalu,
are now in custody on the charge of conspiring to
murder him. The man died in commissions, and a
cat and a dog belonging to the house died SINH
larly, shortly before him, circumstances which
raise the suspicion of strychnine. Hana's father
and mother and some neighbors arc said 10 have
been present when the man died. Mr.. Dayton
held an inquest in the course of which it came
out that on Saturday last, a policeman and Ka-
MALE went to Lee Sings house trying to catch
Hama there with Kamalu, but without success. Lee
Sing had the policeman arrested for breaking into
his house, and Hama now accuses him OF making
improper advances to her and says this charge of
murder is made from spite at her refusals.
An old kamaaind, who for years has travelled
the road from Honolulu to Waialua and Koolau,
and has an intimate knowledge Of the native
character, says For twelve years / have gone 10
and from Honolulu, three and four times a month,
and always would meet when coming into town
two, three, maybe a dozen natives, more or less
under the influence of liquor. / have never, that
| remember, failed TO see ONE drunkenness
amongst them until the last visit to Honolulu,
when, though l met more than one party of ma
tives coming away from Honolulu, not one Of them
showed any signs Of having been drinking-all
were, as far as | could see, sober. And in the
country the free liquor law has put a stop TO Illicit
distilling, for the native can get all the liquor
he wants openly: And those whose business
it was to purchase liquor for the native find their
occupation gone. The law works well,
A VERY eircumstantial story got about ON Satur-
day morning that Wilkinson had got out of the
Station House, and visited a house in town, seek
ing the woman he wants 10 kill. 1t appears TO
have originated with some women who were giving
a nights hospitality to two Of the Alaska's sailors.
A man entered their house during the night and
was collared by one of the sailors, bnt let go. The
women in their fright jumped 10 the conclusion
that it was the king barber His Excellency
Governor Dominis made a personal investigation
Of the case. Through Captain Belknap's polite
ness, the sailors were brought before him on board
the Alaska. The description of the intruder given
by the man who saw him, does not tally at all
with Wilkinson's appearance. The evidence from
