testified would burn until a man could
easily get to place of safety, then went
and shouted to Palmer that the shot was
now fired, and he must get away, as it
was next to him. Then Haggerty ran
out into the entry and waited until the
shot went off. He then went back in,
and found Palmer lying at the side of his
room farthest from the shot. He was
lying on his face. Calling help, the men
got car and took Palmer out into the
| open air, where he died in the course of
| half an hour. His brother, George W.
Palmer, was struck in the head by the
flying coal, and somewhat injured. Reu-
ben Palmer was killed by being struck
with piece or pieces of coal. He was a
sober, industrious boy. The bank-boss.
Yves. Evans, testified that Palmer's room
"gripped in" little more than he was
perhaps aware of, as miner had been
working the room before, but that the
death of Palmer was purely accidental.
1t is not known why Palmer did not get
away when cautioned. ..... While at the
Indiana Mine to-day we were handsome

Two little daughters of Mr.. Bick-
nell, Mable and Ethel, were nearly
fatally poisoned last Sunday afternoon.
About four o'clock after having eaten
a hearty dinner they became violent
ly sick and vomited severely. No
particular attention was paid to it
however for sometime, but rs the chill
dren continued to grow worse, inqui-
ries were made and they finally con-
fessed that they had drank some vim
egar. Upon investigation it was found
that they had mistaken a bottle of
Fowler's solution of arsenic, for the
vinegar bottle. DR.. Clifford was ut
once called and was barely in time to
save the little sufferers by prompt
administration of antidotes. Eight
drops of the solution are considered a
full dose for an adult, and the children
had swallowed fully an ounce Of it.

thick will bear horses and riders; six
inches thick will bear horses and

with very heavy loads; ten inches
thick will sustain pressure of 1000

THE CANDIDATES FOR HONOLULU.

This is Election Day--a day that
comes but once in two years. The
polls open at O'Clock this morning
and close ut 5 in the evening. To-
day the relative strength Of the two
parties, so called, will be decided.
So far as Honolulu and the country
districts of this island are concerned,
we shall know the result tonight.
For complete returns from the other
islands we shall have TO wait few
days longer.
The district of Honolulu elects
four representatives. There are two
recognised tickets before the elec-
tors, with four candidates on each.
The National ticket contains the
names of j. l.. KaulukOu, T.. Lilika-
lani, j. Kcau and j. Baker. The
three lirst-namcd of these gentlemen
nave III loflllcf years occupied places
in the Legislative Chamber. The
last-named-John Baker-has never
yet reached that elevation. The In
dependent ticket comprises the
names of j. o. Carter, j. L. Hawai-
nui, A. p. Kalaukoa and A. X. Ku-
nuiakca, Three of these gentlemen
are also more or less experienced as
Legislators. One ONLY. L, Ka-
wamui-has never served his coun-
try in that capacity. Some people
think that Prince Albert Kunuia<ea
should, long ere this, have had seat
in the House of Mobiles, believing
that Right and Policy both dictate
such an appointment-Right, be-
cause he is 4 recognised high chief,

AN OFFICIAL REPORT"

Our daily contemporary states that
its "report of the inquest { on the
late Governor Buckle was the Off
cial one" This "oflicial report "
omitted entirely the evidence of the
following witnesses: Kanalo, ID.
w. DENLY, Hooikailla, Andrea Ca
macho, Kauhane, Henry Kaia, Henry
Auld and any mention of the rc-eX-
animation of Malaihi, Paahana and
Wailoa. The evidence of Hooikaika
and Andrea Camacho was very i'm
portant, but the reporter of our ell
terpmsing contemporary left the
court room before seven witnesses
were examined. With its usual ac-
curacy our contemporary also stated
that Mr.. Davidson carefully re-
viewed the evidence" of the wit
nesscs. Mr.. Davidson stated clearly
that he would not "review the evil
dence" rs "nobody was accused of
using violence" A day late, how
ever, our contemporary having in
the meantime obtained from Mr..
Davidson, Il resume Of his own re-
marks, publishes them correctly. 1t
is just possible that the weekly"
had as much enterprise as the Id
certiSer and interviewed Mr.. David
son alsG.
If u report which omits the evil
dcnce of seven witnesses, and any
reference to the cross-cXamination
Of three more, and which publishes
the remarks of Mr.. Davidson day
later, after having made mis-
statement concerning them, be an
"ofIlcial one," then the public do
not require 'oflicial ones" Had
our contemporary known how its
'oilicial one" was made the laugh
ing stock of the community, it would
have "let bad alone"

and chiefs have the first claim TO
seats in that chamber of the Legis-
laturc; Policy, because such an APP
pointment would tend to strengthen
the reigning dynasty by reconciling
to it another family which is sup
posed to have some aspirations.
Respecting the policy of the two
political parties contcsting the cleo
tions, we have no clear conception.
Indeed, it is doubtful if either party
has a policy, i'll the sense which at
tachcs to the term in other countries.
We have, however, Il dim idea that
the National party, so called, is the
party of silly bauble, ludicrous tom
foolcry and unpatriotic wastefulness
of the public revenues; and that the
so-called Independent party is the
party OF opposition TO these things.
Nor arc we in Il better position to
Judge of the merits or dcmcrits of
the individual candidates. To be
sure, most of them have presented
their views and intentions to the
public in public places, and those
who understand the native language
are able to measure the men by their
utterances but those who are igno-
rant of that language are at mani
fest disadvantage.
Concerning one of the number
Mr.. Cartcr-wc have had better OPP
portunities of forming correct esti-
mate, and believe him to be fully
| qualified for the place to which he
aspircs. He is neither stranger
nor an obscure nonentity. We judge
him by his record and by his cha.
racter. He is admittedly and un.
doubtcdly man of intelligence, abb.
lity, integrity, and patriotism, ano
therefore suitable person to repre-.
sent Honolulu in the Legislative AS
sembly. 1t matters not what ticke
he is on or which party puts hin
forward. If his name had been OF
the other ticket we would have sale
just as much in his favor: we sup
port him Oh his merits. If the free
and Independent voters of Honolulu
sincerely desire to be represented il
the Legislature by an able, upright
and honest man, they will this da,
place j. o. CARTER at the head o
the poll.
