up on the Marine Railway last even

inches to the seam.
Mrs. j. Sullivan was driving along
the road in a buggy yesterday after
noon when the horse stumbled.
Mrs. Sullivan jumped out and held
the horse by the head until assist

slightly bruised about the knees and
head.
The vestry of Fort Street Church

which left Auckland Sept. 18th, per
steamship Australia, were landed in
England on the 10th of October-33
days in transit-the shortest time
that has ever been made on the San
Francisco route. This will show
what can be done by the new con-
tractors, when their arrangements
are completed for making rapid
transits.
DR.. Webb was thrown from his
carriage the other evening, while
crossing the bridge leading from the
Waikiki road to the Park. His wife
was with him, but held on to her
seat until the horse stopped. The
doctor escaped with few bruises.
1t seems the covering of the bridge
is broken, which produced the shock
that threw DR.. Webb out and also
started the horse to run away.

THIS morning, shortly before two
O'Clock, suburban neighborhood
was wakened up by the most ear
piercing screams. They were found
to proceed from dwelling just
vacated by family, an old native
and a son of ten or twelve years
being left in charge. Two of the
neighbors, whose families had been
aroused by the weird noise, entered
the premises, and, knocking at a
door, asked what the matter was.
A plaintive voice from within replied,
"Ghosts - The party outside asked
the owner of the voice to open the
door, and shortly the old man APP
peared and explained in native what
the trouble was. He pointed inside,
and there stood the boy close to the
door, quaking with fear. The visit
ors, finding there was nothing more
than case of nervous and super
stitious fear, administered some
soothing words to the distressed lad,
and, bidding him and his parent
aloha, returned to their beds. There
was no more disturbance of the
quiet of the night.
