native crew and the other boat was
manned by the captain and the engineers
when Mr.. Staples returned to the vessel.
The sea was very rough and a rope was
parted which was thrown from the
steamer to the mates boat The cap.
tain's boat was launched from the other
side Of the ship where it was very
rough and dangerous. The mates
boat was by this inc half full of water.
When Captain Cameron attempted to
jump into his boat, he missed and fell
into the water ahead of the boat and
was Immediately swept into the
breakers on the reef The mate saw
him and Immediately headed his boat
for the breakers 1t was dangerous
mission. When the boat got into the
breakers where the captain was last
seen it was as dark as pitch. The
mates crew gave up all for lost at one
time, shook hands and said "good
bye" but at that moment they were
carried into calmer water and the man
in the bow of the boat deserted the
captain just ahead. They pulled to
him and he was dragged into the boat
in an exhausted condition. Captain
Cameron had received a stroke from
an oar in the left side and cut on the
lip, which laid him up for two days.
Miss Barbour who was aboard the
Planter was in delicate health, and
when the accident occurred was
awakened with a start which caused
hemorrhage of the lungs. She was
brought to Honolulu day ahead of
the usual time by the Captain Of the
Iwalani. When she arrived here yes
terday morning, however, she was too
weak to be taken from the vessel and
was not removed until yesterday after
noon, when she was conveyed to the
house OF Mr.. r. S. Southwick, on a
litter. Since the vessel struck Miss
Barbour has had four hemorrhages,
but last night her condition was i'm
proved. and her friends are now hope
full that she will speedily recover.

The Planter.

The steamer Iwalani arrived from
Kauai apd Niihau yesterday morning,
bringing later news of the wreck. She
visited the wreck on last Wednesday,
where captain Cameron and his crew
were working, trying to save as much
of the wreck as possible. Mr. M.
Staples, the first mate of the Planter,
returned by the lwalani. The Iwalani
took on board part of the machinery,
ropes, cabin furniture, etc, which she
brought to Honolulu. The wrecked
steamer was ashore on the north side
of the Island, and in about six feet Of
water; she was lying on her port side
and there was considerable water in her
hold. Captain Cameron says if the
weather continues to be fine as it was
when the Iwalani was there, he will save
all the machinery in the steamer. The
Iwalani sailed for Kauai last evening,
where she will take on sugar and pas
sengers, returning here on next Sunday
Mr.. Staples, the first mate Of the
wrecked steamer, says that there was
but little shock when the Planter struck.
1t was past two o'clock in the morning,
and it was the captains watch on deck
Mr. Staples was asleep until few min
utes before the vessel went ashore,
when he was called on deck. 1t was
dark and raining and nothing could BE-
seen ahead, but on. looking over the
side of the vessel he could see the
water was white and that they were
near the shore Mr.. Staples went
ashore in the first boat that was
launched after the steamer struck, tax
ing his wife and Miss Barbour VIII

money. The Planter did not have full

A Destructive Fire.

Yesterday afternoon at halfpast four
o'clock, the usual quiet of the town was
disturbed by the loud ringing of the
fire bells. The report soon spread that
the beautiful cottage belonging to and
occupied by Judge Widemann and
family, on the plains, was on fire. The
different fire engines were soon on their
way to the scene, No. 2 being the first
to get water on the flames. 1t was
soon preceived that the house could
not be saved; only part Of the furniture
was gotten out of the burning house
before the flames and smoke drove the
gallant workers to some distance from
the scene. Some very valuable paint
ings and curiosities were burned with
the house. All attempts to save the
cook house, which stood in the rear Of
the dwelling, also proved fruitless, as it
was soon one sheet of fame. AS far
as could be learned the fire started in
one of the sleeping apartments. 1t
seems that the Chinee servant had
given one of the children some fire
crackers, who with youthful careless
ness set them off in one of the sleeping
rooms, setting fire to the bed clothing,
and before the child could regain his
scattered senses, the bed was all ablaze.
The loss is estimated at $40,
insured for $1,000.
The new Hook and Ladder truck,
which arrived here short time ago,
broke down at the corner of King and
Alapai streets, both the hubs of the
hind wheels being broken.
Judge Widemann was in Waianae
at the time Of the fire; the news was
sent to him by telephone.

THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, muS be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeahle in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas " cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the inn
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains al the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further ,abso-
lutey inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suifocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invau-
able 1t is further preferable TO any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons;
~ Its manipulation is so simple thai any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3,l That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
IT, That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that it never llickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree,
(5,) That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extingush immedi.
ately, il by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should he broken.
(6,) That il will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes,

A Regular ovation to Miss Mar

Last night at the Grand Opera House
Miss Margaret Mather and her company
repeated Shakespesre's romantic and
tragic drama, Romeo and Juliet" The
occasion was triumphant ovation to the
bright particular star and to her excel
lent support. The whole house was
filed with most fashionable, intelligent
and highly appreciative audience. A
very large percentage of the critical
playgoers was there, and they teatiiied
by every token their full appreciation oil
the performance. In the more affectine
passages, whether the Mercu 10, the
Romeo or Miss Mather as the Juliet read
been heard fall. MIR. Levick is an ex-
celIent reader and so is Mr.. Paulding.
As the play ana Cast were analysed after
the first presentation IN the HERALD,
at some length too, such treatment need
not be repeated here.
There was one name omitted at that
time which really deserves the warmest
mention. That is Mr.. VIM. Famous, AS
the lean, starved apothecary. The i'm
mortal poet, for some reason or other,
most dearly despised doctors and
lawyers. He ''guys" both profes
sions numerically ON almost ev-
cry occasion he has cause to
introduce them. This has become a
tradition which still clings to the modern
stage, and crops out in MARKS, law.

Mr.. Ramus as the apoihecary IN
Romeo and Juliet" and as the doctor
in the Honeymoon, is perfect at ali
points. His dress, manner, every bit OF

study for the most critical mind.
For tonight the powerful drama,
Leah, the Forsaken," is underlined
Miss Mather comes here with a great
reputation. especially in Leah" The
death scene is powerful, and she is said
to act it with great force.
