WORK upon the improvements at the Hawaiian
Hotel has already been commenced, The stables
are being pulled down and will very soon be re-
placed bv houses which are to serve as adjuncts to
the Hotel. Powerful machinery for sinking an
~artesian well is now being erected in what was the
stable yard, by the well-knOwn contractor, Mr..
L Fessler. The elevation of the ground at this point is
25 feet above the level of the sea. As our artesian
water rises about ~ feet 10 inches above sea-level
it will be possible to supply all the first floor of the
Hotel from this clear pure source without any lift
/ ing or pumping.
On Monday John Howe was brought before the
Police Justice, charged with stealing a watch, the
property of Samuel Grandle. The watch was taken
from the pocket of Grandle's coat on the Friday
morning, whilst the coat was hanging in Allen and
Robinson new warehouse. Howe was one of the
men who worked on the premises. He offered the
watch to Sam Kee. who, from his manner, sus-
pected that the watch was stolen, and brought his
customer to the station house. Howe had no
evidence to offer in support of his plea of not guilty,
and the magistrate sentenced him to six months
imprisonment at hard labour.

gal points connected with the renewal of the Hotel

or in vacation, But it must appear by affidavit,
that the controversy is real and the proceedings in
good faith, to determine the rights Of the parties.

and may be enforced in the same manner as If 1t
