CThe following note (Which explains itself
has been handed to rs by Mr.. Thomas Walker
for publication. EDITOR Z. c. A.
HoNoLULU, May 27th, 1883.
Mr.. EDIroR, A statement which appears in
the saturday Press of the 9th inst, and
relating to an affair in which l am the injured
party is false in every particular. The true
story is A party Of four Of which | was one
went TO Kakaako to battle. On reaching there
myself and another one OF the party both iua
liquor, had words, which resulted in a clinch,
struggle and the interchange of blows. Another
one of the party, Mr.. Thomas Walker, separated
Us as quickly as possible. 1t was then found
that l had broken my ankle, having done SO in
jumping from the carriage while it was in mo-
ton my condition preventing a previous dis
covery OF the fact. There was no prize
fight . nor no - put up job"

Since May 1882 10 the present day Mr.. Alatau
t. Atkinson. the Government schoolmaster,
drawing a salary of $1,000 per aunum, has never
ceased TO avail himself Of every possible oppor-
tunity to Willy in the strongest possible Ian
guage, His Majesty, the Royal Family, and His
Majesty's Ministers. His friends and brother
schoolmasters have warned him of the inevita-
BILE result of his writings, but deeming his posi-
ton impregnable, these warnings have helped 20
make him more vindietive than he otherwise
would have been.
The Press says ''he (NIr. A is night and Mn.

1t Is the duty Of people to submit TO the execu-
tive authority of the Government under which
they live, and admitting that fair comment on
the actions of King and Ministers in the Pablo
papers is admissible, and sometimes productive
of much good. vet it is, To say the least, unbs-

Mr. Atkinson had always the opportunity to

over-indulgence in that that is held to be dear

WOOD PAVEMENT,
How the Blocks are Made and What Is
Their Utility.

How the Blocks are Made and What Is
Their Utility.
The LIGHT was the paper that gave birth to
the idea of paving the streets of San Antonio
with wood, and to suggest that mesquite was
very suitable wood for that pu rpose, being
durable aud plentiful. Mr.. Walter Scott con-
CURED In the views expressed by the LIGHT
but, like sensible man, he gave the matter
thorough consideration, travelling from San
Antonio to Canada, stopping In all the impOr-
tant cities where wood pavement IL used, and
practically examining the various systems
adopted. lie also interviewed most OF the prin-
oiph street builders, and acquired ali possible
information upon the subject. Then he
returned TO tho city and commenced
business in laying sidewalks for the side. The
beautiful aud substantial sidewalks In front OF
the stores Of G.. Stumberg II ID. Stumberg
Sam Maverick, the English and German school,
and in other places are evidences of MIR. SCOTS
ability as a payer. They are apparently solid
and good Tor 30 years wear and VIII bear in
specton, comparing favorably with those OF
any other city In the Union.
The question may arise how are these side
walks durable and economical, and where are
the blocks made. Mr.. Scott and his sons have
IA factory at JOG and 30S South Laredo street,
which the LIGHT man recently visited. Enter
Ing the lower floor he passed through
the nrched 70 rms, whore the
blocks are received. and carted
rs they drop from the saws to the L shaped
engine room, where Richard, Mr.. SCOTS
youngest son, engineer and fireman, handles
the Atlas engine like toy. 1t Is n 1ne engine
OF good power and runs well. Mr.. Scott and
the LIGHT man then went TO the front and
mounted car ladened with timber. and before
we could say Jack Robinson we were landed
In the saving room. The LIGHT man was con
siderably relieved when landed ON arbOr firma
and was soon examining Mr.. Soott's hull wheel
and crane, which carries his lumber TO the
upper tioOr and had landed us there with so
much ease. This mechanical cOntrvanoe Is
the invention OF Mr.. Scott, and is a very in
genious one. The LIGHT man saw huge logs
converted into blocks and made into fantasia
nI Nif.na
Now the statistics OF the large cities show
that wooden payements are most economical
II good timber Is plentiful that is not liable to
rot The mesquite around us In abundance
furnishes such wood, and with the mechanical
appliance, such as Mr.. Scott commands, W. oden
blocks can be furnished cheapy for sidewalks

New YORK, July 27.-The Western Union
reports a, 9 a. M, that several wires are short
between New York, pittsburg and Buffalo.
All night business is clear and well up in all
other directions. The Mutual Union wires
are o. K.
At the headquarters Of the striking opera
tors to-day, it was said that the negotiations
now pending between the Brotherhood and

said that no intimaion Of a change Of the pol
icy, which had been pursued since the strike,
had been given by any of the officers.
The manager Of the American Rapid Tele-
graph company claims that since they made
terms with the strikers business has increased
80 per cent. Among the business men there
is considerable criticism of the company for
having raised the rates as soon as business
was good, and it is the common rumor that il
the demands Of the strikers are acceded to, the
public may have to pay for it after all The
rates which were IS cents for 20 words Of city
business, are now IS cents for 10 words. The
charge is IS cents for 10 words out OF town
business, against IS cents for 20 words.

States. By its terms man may make his
will and have it probated while living. Notice
is then given to heirs, devisees, and others in
tsrested to appear and file objections, failing
in which they cannot be heard after death Of
the testator. The effect of this law will be to
carry out the will of the t:s,ator and prevent
litigation.
