ted up with every convenience for
chemical experimentation and de-
monstration. Two long work-tables
are furnished with faucets and sinks,
gas pipes for instantaneous blasts OF
fire, and any amount of shelves and

AN ACRES WEALTH.

In a case tried before Judge
Bickerton this morning, of damages
for unlawful ejectment, brought by
two Chinese against native land
lord, one of the plaintiffs swore an
acre of ground yielded them thirty
dollars day in vegetables. The
judge failed to perceive the value
of such statement to send abroad
for immigration purposes. On the
contrary, he considered the testi-
mony of n man who could swear to
such an absurdity as unworthy of
credence. The defendant, however,
made out the case for the plaintiffs
by frank acknowledgment, in
effect, of having taken the law in
his own hands, and ten dollars of
damages were adjudged against
him. Deputy Attorney-General
Whiting, on hearing of the China
mans appraisement of an acres
value, naively remarked that he
would like, at that rate, to go into
vegetable-raising himself-if he
could get anybody to do the work.
So say we ALL Sept. 10th.

The KINAu REPAIRS.

Last night there was clang of
hammers ON the bottom of the XII
nau. The rivets of the plates to be
renewed have to be cut out with
cold chisels. 1t gives good idea
of the value of the marine railway
to this port, to see such heavy
iron vessel raised high and dry, and
effectively repaired at much less ex-
pense than would be incurred in
sending her, to the Coast. To show
with what facility large vessels can
be handled on those works, it is
enough to state the facts of hauling
this one up. The steamer James /.
Dowsett was launched from the
ways at II O'Clock noon ON Monday,
and at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
the Kinau was in her place ready
for the repairing operations. When
it is known that large amount of
labor was necessary in shifting bilge
and keel blocks, to adapt them to
the different size and shape of the
two vessels, this expedition is all
the more remarkable.-[Sept 9th.

A FINE BUILDING.

A fine addition has been made to
the mercantile architecture of the
city by Mr.. Chas. j. Fishel. This
new building, corner of Fort and.
Hotel streets, is about completed.
The building is of brick covered
with cement, and stands on the site
of the store burned Jan. 81 last; is
two stories high, fronting 40 feet Oh
Fort, and IS feet on Hotel street.
The inside is elegantly finished, and
fitted up. Each of the windows on
the lower fiat consists of n single
piece of ten foot plate glass, which,
the proprietor informed our reporter,
is the largest plate in the city. The
show glasses are well arranged so
as to exhibit the goods with proper
effect and at the same time leave
plenty room for customers and sales
men to move about. For some two
weeks past Mr.. Fishel and his as
sistants have been engaged in I'M
packing and arranging their new
stock. The displays of staple and
fancy goods are elaborate and ex-
tensive. The millinery department
is in the upper fiat and is reached
by an easy stairway. Everything
in the millinery line to please the
most artistic fancy can be seen here.
A couple of large show cases on
this floor have specially beautiful
spread of silk and velvet flowers,
and other fine specimens of the mil
liners handiwork. The lady in
charge of this department shows an
exquisitely worked plush embroi-
dered lambrequin of her own max
ing, very pretty article. The
whole establishment will be open to
the inspection of the public this
evening, when a promenade band
concert will be given. Sales will
not commence, however, until to-
morrow. We congratulate Mr..
Fishel on his new establishment and
wish him a long and successful
business career Sept. 18th.

the FIRE DEPARTMENT.

There was full attendance ut the
regular meeting of the Board of Re-
representatives. of the Fire Department
last night. Second Assistant En-
gineer, Julius Asch, presided. Rout-
inc business was despatched, the con-
clusion in the Chinese effigy case be-
ing that the investigating committee
should be discharged. This, it will
be remembered by many, refers to
an efligy of Chinaman hung on
Engine Co. 2's house, after the
election, evidently out of bad feel
ing. A discussion on the bell in the
central tower took place. 1t was
said that the bell could not be heard
as far as it should, on account of
being improperly hung. The exc
cutive committee was directed to
have the required alteration in this
regard made as soon as possible.
1t was mentioned, in the course of
the discussion, that Chief Engineer
Mott, during his present visit to the
States, would endeavor to ascertain
what is the best general alarm
system. = Sept. 4th.

FISHING FOR OPIUM.

On the Mariposa nearing the en-
trance buoy last Tuesday, a large
box was seen to be lowered overheard,
a splash was heard, and the box
soon disappeared. Information was
given to the police. Yesterday,
Deputy Marshal Dayton, with police
officers and a large staff of native
divers, went to the place. After
several attempts to fish up the prize,
they returned to town disappointed.
This would appear to be done as a
hoax by employees on board of the
Mariposa. -[Sept. 10th.

A new INVENTION.

Mr.. James q. Swan, Hawaiian
Consul at Port Townsend, has dis
covered process of making parch-
ment out of kelp. A specimen of
the first he made of the article is
before us, and it seems to be capa-
BILE of being brought to high
degree of finish. Whether it can
be made equal, for writing purposes,
to leather parchment Or not, there is
no doubt it would be excellent for
many manufacturing purposes, such
as making bookboard, shoe Innings,
printing cards and paper, albums,
etc. Mr.. Hanks, of Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s express, has given us the
sample.

STORM ON M0L0KAl.

The steamer Jas. 1. Dowsett brings
news of severe blow at Molokai
last Saturday night. At ten O'Clock
the wind came with a sudden blast
from the northeast, and it lasted for
an hour. The damage done is ex-
tcnsivc. The church at Kalaupapa,
which was dedicated by DR.. Hyde
two days before the storm, was
bodily lifted from its foundation and
so wrecked as to make it unsafe,
and it is deemed prudent to have it
pulled down. Large kukui trees two
or more feet in diameter and cypress
trees of huge dimensions were up
rooted and laid down, or the trunks
were snapped like pipe stems. At
Wailau, on the steep incline OF q
mountain side which was thickly
covered with trees of various sizes,
was scene of utter ruin. Every
tree was blown down, aud it looked
as if an army of wood cutters had
been there, or the place had been
swept by fire. At Mr.. Meyers
place there was great devasta-
ton of trees. Mr.. Meyer says he
thinks the gale was local. 1t lasted
only an hour, but it was the most
severe that he had known since his
residence on the Islands, about 40
years. People who lived where the
wind was the strongest were greatly
frightened, and they say it was for
tunate that no vessel was there at the
time, as it would have been totally

The annual meeting of the Nut

Telephone Company's directors was
called for this morning, but up to
noon quorum had not been obtain
ed. However, there was an informal
consideration of affairs by those who
did attend. From the report it APP
peared that the receipts for the past
quarter exceeded the expenditure
by eight or nine hundred dollars.
For the purpose of clearing off the
outstanding debt of the Company, n
proposal to sell additional shares
found favor with the directors pre-
sent. About 1900 shares of the
authorized capital stock remain un-
sold. In answer to an enquiry, a

nation with the other company is
