Two miners of Alum Creek, says the
Walker Lake Bulletin, last week went
up to the mountain above their cabin to
look at some boundary lines. After their
work was done they gave way to the in
clination common to all men, to roll
snowballs down the slopes of the drifts
which had gathered in the ravines. One
long slope, one mile in length, just above
their cabin, was particularly tempting,
and they went out of their way some
what to get o chance to start some balls
rolling. The sun had softened the snow
. little, and the first ball began increas-
ing in bulk as soon as it started. Both
bulk and momentum increased until,
swollen to an enormous size, it burst into
several pieces, each of which continued
gathering material until a strip of ground
100 feet wide was cleared of snow. The
immense balls gathered rocks and earth
as they moved, and the whole avalanche
went over the cabin of the men who
started it. 1t was an illustration of
sowing the wind and reaping the whirl-
wind" as the cabin and all it contained
was taken up by the swiftly moving mass
md carried to the bed of the stream.
The destruction was complete, and the
two men had to come to Hawthorne for
4 tent and blankets. They think now
that starting avalanches is exciting sport,
but little too expensive.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO Mr.. GEORGE
EMMES.

A terrible accident occurred yes
terday afternoon a little before 8
O'Clock, resulting III the death of
Mr.. George Emmes, IN old and
highly respected citizen. Mr.. Emmes
left his residence on Kukui street a
little before 3 O'Clock with the inten-
tion of joining his family, who were
staying at Waikiki. When opposite
the Roman Catholic Church on Fort
street, one of the front wheels of his
buggy came off, which frightened
the horse and started him in a full
galop, throwing Mr. Emmes out,
and having tight hold of the reins,
was dragged considerable distance.
He was picked up in I'M insensible
condition and taken to his residence
on Kukui street, which he had left
only few moments previous in the
full enjoyment of life, Drs. Hagan
and McKibbin attended him, but
nothing coulds be done and he ex-
pired at $3.50 O'Clock. His horse,
after the accident had happened,
kept on running and turned the
corner by Dodd's stable on to Hotel
street, where he collided with Mrs.
b. +. Dillingham's carriage standing
in front Of Horns store, and was
finally stopped by sailor from the
Mutine. Mrs. Dillingham's horse is
naturally very quiet one, but the
collision so startled it that it dashed
off, but was caught before getting
out of town. The shaft of the car

FALSE IMPRESSIONS.

The p, G. -ldcertiSe,' would give
the impression that the feeling
against the Bank Charter scheme is
confined to two or three orators and
one or two newspapers. This ques-
tion really is between the whole
community on the one side, and
those interested in the Bank Charter
and the publication of the Water
house letter on the other.
Which has the most weight no
man in his senses can doubt.

THE GENERAL BANKING LAW.

1t seems that the Spreckels Bank
Charter is not likely to be passed.
1t is said by the p. G.. .1dcertiSer
that 4" criticism and comment
on the Bank Charter Bill have
i'll some quarters, been carried be-
yond all bounds of reason and good
manners. When formidable
monopoly like this goes beyond all
bounds of reason. and makes no
more profession of manners than does
a gentlemanly highway-man, who
in unmistakable terms, requests
your money, the apologists of the
monopoly cannot expect the commu-
nifty to select the mildest words
with which to express its Indignation.
That Indignation has been ex-
pressed, and the advertiser may rest
assured that more than words re-
main behind, if the charter is urged.
But the men who made such de-
mands as the Spreckels' Bank
Charler, will bear close watching
when they shift ground, and pro-
fess to be satisfied with law giving
everyone an equal right to do bank
ING business. If this second bank
ing Act allows Hawaiian bonds to be
deposited in lieu of a coin basis to
secure payment of the notes of the
bank, it is practically making the
holders of the 81, ,000,000 or so of
u1etdI06Ie Hawaiian bonds, the only
| persons who can do such banking.
If the bank law allows bank funds
| to be carried out of the country, or
to California corporations, or allows
the directors of the bank, or con-
trolling majority of them, to reside
/ out of the country, there is no
security for holders of the notes of
such bank.
There is no necessity of Il special
/ law to authorize bank to make
them, and offer them to any who
wish to take them.
A general banking law coming
from such source, will require the
closest scrutiny, to see that it does
not impose on the country any of
the outrageous demands which the
/ special bank charter makes.

THE LEGISLATURE
THURSDAY, JUNE 12-Continued.


Mr.. Cecil Brown said, the members
of the House We're all agreed on one
point that they want gas. The prin-
cipal objection seemed to be to
Section 12, "lhat Messrs. Lucas,
Gilmore and Hall, have the exclusive
right for the term of twenty-five
years.
Mr.. Kauhane was in favor of in
definite postponement, we don't re-
quire gas, the people have not asked
for it. Why should this Assembly
bother about a gas bill?
Mr.. Dole said he would be in favor
of the section if it would allow any
parties, instead of the three names
mentioned
Mr.. Lilikalani said the bill was
good one. No one had ever had the
courage to present gas bill before.
Mr.. Widemann said the gas bill is
nothing new here, it is as old as the
hills. He did not think gas would
ever be profitable business here.
We have heard that Mr.. Elmore is a
very fine fellow, am sorry L don't
know him, wish | did, for / like
good fellows. Mr. Lucas is q friend
of mine, Mr.. Hall have known
from childhood and | should like to
| do them good turn. The amend
ments he would propose to the bill
to make il favorable would be so
numerous, that it would require an
entirely new bill.
Mr.. Hitchcock said he had been
informed that the promoters of the
bill wanted monopoly or nothing, if
so, he should oppose the bill.
At u o'clock the House took q
recess until Pm.
On re-assembling after recess, Mr..
Hitchcock said the translation diff
fered in the first section, and he
should move one word in the native
translation be struck out.
Mr.. w. O. Smith said that before
recess Mr.. Hitchcock had said that
the company wished monopoly or
nothing, he derived his information
from me and must have misunderstood
me. My remarks to him were not
intended to carry such an idea.
Mr.. Nawahi said there was one
very serious objection to the bill,
viz: That upon the expiration of
twenty-five years, the time fixed,
the Government shall take the gas
works and pay the original cost for
them. He considered the gas bill a
monopoly, and if we grant one mo-
nopoly we shall have to grant others.
Mr.. Bishop said if the bill was
amended properly he would be in
favor of it, but there are so many
Objectionable clauses that he was in
favor of indefinite postponement.
We are safer without this bill than
with it.
Mr.. Aholo said there would be nc
harm if the bill passed,
Mr.. Widemann said the bill deals
with an article that no one in the
country uses. There is very little
difference between it and the Bank
Bill, Both attempt to deal in a Ger.
tain way with the necessaries Of
life.
Mr., Baker, the introducer of the
bill, said the missionaries first brought
lis clothes and made us keep our,
selves clean, so it is with the pro-
moters of the gas bill, they want tc
give us gas and keep us from soiline
our hands with kerosene oil. If this
company makes bad gas we vii
have them up as common nuisances.
On a show of hands being called the
indefinite postponement of Section
was lost Is to 10, and the section
was finally passed.
Mr.. Widemann moved that the
