A Supposed Cripple Who Played
it Fine on the People
of SedaIia.

John w elch, SAID 10 be resident OF
Lexington, KY, came in for a large
share of denunciation yesterday at the
hands of number of Sedalia's chart
tably disposed citizens.
John first showed up here Friday.
He walked with a crutch, and ex.
planned the limp that accompanied il
BY saying that be had lost one of his
legs in the late war, and was hence
compelled to wear an artificial limb.
This wooden leg, he said, had seen Its
best days, and he was anxious to pro-
cure a new limb.
Unfortunately, he was financially
embarrassed, and in consequence
was forced to ask assistance
at the hands of the people
of Sedalia. In proof of what he
said he would give the alleged wood
en- limb a rap with his crutch, and
the result was he reaped a rich har-
vest in the way of contributions,
securing no less than 500 on Friday.
Among those who contributed was
DIR. A. V. Small, who remarked that
the poor unfortunate had an honest
face and was deserving of assistance.
A quarter was cheerfully passed over
by the doctor and John went on his
way rejoicing.
Another victim was John Fitzpat-
rick, employed at the freight depot.
WEIGH and John hail from the same
state-the Blue Grassland the latter
could not forbear a generous contribu-
ton when solicited.
And so it went, collec ions being
made here and there until
WEIGH had accumulated 500.
Considering that he had performed a
good days work and been well paid
for the same, he decided to celebrate
by indulging in few glasses of book
beer, and the result was Friday night
found him gloriously drunk.
He dropped into Boutell's new
place on Ohio street and there met
Fitzpatrick, who, during the forenoon,
had contributed toward the purchase |
of an artificial limb. To say that
''Fitz" was Disguised does not half |
express it. He took the pseudo vet
eran to task for his conduct, and then |
it was that the latter Mortified the |
crowd, delivering himself as follows:
"Don't give me any Of your lee
lures, young fellow. You are a suck
err and | worked you. What do /
want with wooden leg when have
got these ?" and so saying he exhib-
ted two as sound limbs as any one is |
possessed of.
Investigation revealed that WEIGH
has been travelling around the country
with some sort of wooden apparatus
which fitted snugly over one of his
limbs, and which, when in position,
caused him to limp perceptibly. He
would then start out on a tour solicit
ng aims, and so plausible was his
story that he invariably secHredlliber-
Il contributions. When he had col
ected enough to indulge in the luxury
If spree he would cast aside his
,rutch and fixtures and enter upon
he work of painting the town.
The disgust of Fitzpatrick may be
when he realized how
neatly he had been done for.
He acknowledged as gracefully as
possible that he had been sold, and
hen left in disgust, as did Welch
hortly afterwards.
The racket is undoubtedly an old
me with WEIGH and other towns in
his section will do well to be on the
ookout for him. He is a smooth
alker, but is mammoth dead beat,
he was born in Ken.
lucky. If you doubt it, ask Fitz-
patrick.

HONOLULU RARBoR AND WHARvEs.

Increased harbOr and wharf ac-
commodation is among the require
ments of Honolulu. Every cent of
the money voted for this purpose the
other day-S40, 900 for dredging the
harbor and $4,000 for new whurves
and repairS--Can he at once used to
supply Deficiencies. Indeed. a very
much larger amount might be adj
vantageously expended for deepen
ing and enlarging the harhor. and
for building and extending wharves.
Our own steamers and sailing ves-
sells are steadily growing in numbers,
creating the necessity for proper
tionate growth of wharfage space
for their accommodation. And the
probability is-we might say, GER
tainty-that in the near future for
eign shipping will use this port to
an extent hitherto unknown. 1t is
only saying what has been said a
thousand times, and what everybody
admits, to say that the completion of
the Panama canal will effect great
changes in the shipping routes of
the world, and that Honolulu, be-
cause of its geographical position,
must necessarily become an import
ant port of call. That the canal will
ultimately be completed, and prob
ably within q few years, there is
good ground of hope. The govern
ment of this country would be wise
in preparing for the event, by en-
larging the harbor and increasing
the wharves, to the full extent of its
means. Even leaving the Panama
canal out of calculation altogether,
there is a promising future for the
port of Honolulu. The growing
| trade of Northwestern America
Australasia, and the innumerable
islands of the Pacific will steadily
continue to bring this port into
prominence and Importance. We
shall be benefited in proportion tc
the conveniences we are prepared tc
furnish the shipping engaged in thu
trade referred to. 1t is question
if the reclaiming of land at the city
front, which has been going on fo
years, was wise step. Time may
prove that dredging was the prope
thing to have done--increase o
water rather than increase of land
Be that as it may, no time shoul'
be lost in deeping the harbor tina
remains in parts where needed.

THE LEGISLATURE.
sEvENTY-sEvENTH DAY.

MONDAY, Aug. 10th.
The Assembly met at 10 A. NJ.

A SENSIBLE REASON.

Those of the citizens who were
swooped down upon for water-rates
last year would be gratificd, on
reading Fridays legislative proceed
ings, to notice the sharp and clear
cut fashion in which the pruning
knife fell upon the system of dead
heading water to sundry premises
occupied by persons who ought to
be the last in the city to accept
gratuities Of any kind. 1t appears
that the first list brought down was
incorrect, the names of Hon. S. G..
Wilder and the Marine Railway
being on the roll of beneficiaries.
1t was fully explained by Mr..
Wilder that, in both cases, the
water referred to was supplied un-
der contracts with the Government.
In taking this step, the hon. men,
ber for Koolauloa, and those voting
with him, are to he commended.
The vote taken in this case will
prove of seven-fold value if it Sug-
gests to members the propriety of
offering 4 stout resistance to other
raids upon the public revenues at
present in contemplation. No doubt
the Genealogy Board will be around
again, hat in hand, one Of these
days for another fill. Will the
members of the house have the
spirit to sit down on that body: Or
will they be afraid of the specters
that may be started from among the
bones by the scientific investiga-
tions of the pig? Time will tell.

A Saco man who was addicted to
strong drink had worn his wife's
patience entirely out, and the much
abused woman finally decided to
apply for divorce. Her husband,
who could but acquiesce in the JUS
tice of the decision, and perhaps
wishing to begin his career as a
single man with reputation for
amiability, hired team to carry
her to Alfred and hunted up a
friend to give the needed testimony
to his bad character as husband.
The divorce was decreed and with
the bill in her pocket the lady came
down the stairs to meet her ex-hus-
band, who had waited on the door
stoop so as to improve the first
opportunity to try to again pop the
question. So much devotion won
the lady's heart, and she at once
agreed to the proposal to try it
again. All this happened half a
dozen years ago, and the pair are
yet enjoying the felicity of their
second honeymoon. = Biddeford

What will she do with it? is q
conundrum that naturally suggests
itself in connection with the solid
gold card-case weighing nearly a
pound presented to Mrs. Cleveland
by Mrs. Hicks-Lord.

quiring attention for the purpose of
being perfected, but some measures
which have advanced several stages
are waiting for the only kind of at
tcntion to which they are entitled,
namely, to be consigned TO oblivion.
The AdCertiSer expresses the
opinion that the third reading of the
Appropriation Bill ought TO be de-
layed to late period in order to
include in it all necessary items.
This course might be advisable if
there were any guarantee that none
but necessary items" would be
thrown in. The committees and
members of the house have surely
had sufficient time already to know
what are the necessary items. And
once the day or two in committee
which our contemporary suggests
has been given to the bill, it should
be passed through the final stages
and closed up, While the Appro.
priation Bill remains open, there is
bait before members to lead them
ON with resolutions and calls of all
sorts for money grants. And rs

little more remains, just so long will
the hours of the session drag their

tage as we'll as the public interests

and keeping the brakes well manned

the SESSION.

Our contemporary, the I8certiSer,
appears to be getting tired of the
slow progress being made by the
Legislative Assembly. For once,
that papers views are in accord
with public opinion. The most
noticeable feature in our contempo-
rary's homily of this morning is the
absence of abuse Of the Opposition,
to which his readers have been
treated at the rate of about half
column per day since the opening of
the session. There are to-day, how
ever, some very encouraging symp-
toms of an awakening to the real
facts of the case. that the Oppos-
tion are not wholly responsible for
the slow rate at which the Legisla-
tive body is advancing. The Oppo-
sition are not responsible for the
driving of the team, and whether
they keep quiet or not, the general
speed does not seem to be very per-
ceptibly improved. Our contempo-
rary very properly suggests that
about week OF ten days ought to
be sufficient for the members to per-
form all the good works they know
how to perform. There are mea-
sures of public utility on the clerk s
table and in the hands of COM
mittees which it is high time were
looked up and got ready for the
royal assent. If these measures
are allowed to so by the board for
want of time, or are passed in n
pell-mell fashion in the last hours of
the Assembly, it will be difficult for
the country to see results adequate
to the occasion from the coming
together of the assembled wisdom.
1t is proper, in this connection, to
acknowledge the services of the
Legislature in the acts relating tC
the rebuilding and the erection OF
all buildings in future in the city

Rep. Castle was not satisfied with
the report, holding that the commit
tee should have made some recom-
mendation.
Rep. Thurston did not think the
report was fair either to the house
or to Mr.. Wilson. The house
could not go down and take evil
dence, and that was what the refer
ence to the committee was for. If
Mr.. Wilson had not lost that S1O,-
600 he should not have to pay for
it; but if he had appropriated the
money he should have to refund it.
Rep. Brown said the committee
had got all the evidence obtainable
as to the facts, in addition to the
account of the affair in the Minister
of Interiors report. They there
fore concluded to leave it to the
house to take what action it saw fit,
on the facts in the reports of the
Minister and the Judiciary Commit
tee.
The report was adopted over an
amendment by Rep. Castle, to refer
the matter back to the committee.

reasons for the change, and asking
for 1000 for cffecting it. Laid on
the table to be considered with a
bill on the subject. The same
member presented four petitions
from other parts of the District,
largely signed, with similar prayer
which were also laid on the table.
Rep. kaunamano, a petition from
Ia lepers of Kalawao, that Simona
kahalebe appointed Judge, and w.

district. Referred to Judiciary
Committee. He also presented q
petition for the removal of Mr..
Meyers from the Office of Superin-
tendent of the Leper settlement.
Referred to Sanitary Committee.
REPORTS.
Rep. Kaulukou read the Hawaiian,
and Rep. Brown the English version
of report of the Judiciary Com.
mittee on bill for the relief of
Chas. B. Wilson, Superintendent of
the Honolulu Water Works, the
following being the English:
To the Hon. j. S. WALKER.
President of the Legislative Assem-
bly,: Sir,-The Judiciary Com
mittee to whom was referred the pc
tition of Charles b. Wilson, pray
ing for relief in regard to certain
deficiencies in the office of the Su-
perintendent of Water Works, and
also of the bill to enforce
the prayer for relief, res
pectfully beg leave to report that
they have had the matters referred
to them under consideration, and
have taken considerable testimony.
and your committee is satisfied from
the evidence produced that the
Clerk to the Superintendent of
Water Works was placed in that
office in spite of the strong opposi-
ton and protest of the Superin-
tendent, and that several attempts
were made by him to have the clerk
removed but without success.
Your committee also lind that the
business of the Office was conducted
in very loose and disgraceful
manners no books or accounts being
kept, nor was any account kept of
the amount of cash received or paid
out. Settlements with the Interior
Office were made whenever the
superintendent or clerk thought
they had too much money in the
office for safe keeping, and your
committee hereby return the mat
teri referred to them to this house
for such action as it may think
proper. j. l.. kAuLUKoU.
