OFFICER MEmrrENs went over TO Koolau tho Y
other day, having been led to believe that the Chi |
naman who recently escaped from tho Station
house, was hiding there. He and some Of the
local constables made an unexpected raid on a .
house where their man was known 20 have been .
hiding when he escaped before. They did not find
what they sought, but their disappointment was
mitigated by the discovery Of some opium smokers. T
These men and others caught I'm another house H.
were charged before Judge Kaulukou yesterday, +
when four pleaded guilty and one obtained C re-
mand till next Thursday.
ARRANGEMENTS have just been made 10 open
some new streets, which will not only DO found
very useful, but must also greatly enhance the
value Of a considerable tract OF land hitherto com
pa%ratively useless for residences, although lying so
near the thickly-peopled part Of tho town. One oil
these streets will run from King street, starting
on the Eva side Of the Chinese Theatre, and rum
ming parallel to Liliha street as far as School
street. The other streets run from this new street
to Nuuanu street. One will be a prolongation oil
what is now known as Ford's lane, which opens .
into Nuuanu street just above the first bridge, and
the other will be in the same line as Kukui street. +
IL is rather regrettable that these cross streets arc
not to be prolonged as far AZ Liiiha street.
