ROADS AND SEWERS.

William Schmidt Claims Land Damages Property Holders demonstrate Against Piline Belgian Blocks on South Main Street.
 There was standing room only'' and ht- tie of that, when the meeting of the board of sewer and road commissioners was called to order at the mayors office last evening.
 Property owners on Martin and Stone streets were heard in relation to sewer as sessmenIs. The property owners of East Main and Wall streets presented remon- strance against building a sewer in that section, alleging the impossibility of build ing it on account of lodges; it would ob- struct travel and make 1t dangerous. NO sewer will be built there at present. Pe- titions for sewers in Waterville street and Hillside avenue were tabled, as was com munication from William Schmidt, repre- senting that a sewer had been built through his private land, Jeffrey alley. MT. Schmidt wanted the sewer removed or compensa- tion given. He has three houses connec- ted with the sewer, and as it was the opin- ion of the board that Mir Schmidt wanted large share of the earth, the conmuni- cation was tabled without debate. The extension of the South Main street sewer, below Washington, was laid over for one month.
 ROAD BOARD.
 l A number of South Main street business men from Apothecaries hall to Grand street, appeared before the board and through Miles F. Connolly demonstrated against the piling of paving blocks on South Main street sidewalks, at this early date. The Bank street paving will not be finished in less than three weeks, with the best of weather and South Main street will not be commenced upon until Bank street is finished, which in all probability will be six weeks They stated that they had offered to pay the rent of a storage place for the blocks until they were needed. They com plained that the police would not allow them to pile their goods on the side walks, and that the blocks should not bt allowed there.
 On motion of Commissioner Chipman City Engineer Weld was instructed to con fer with MT Blakeslee and see if they could not come to some agreement for relief.
 Layouts of Denny, Farm and Pemberto1 streets were ordered.
 Sidewalks were recommended on Nortl Willow street from Dennis .Hawleys t, Johnson street, Pine and Cliff, (petition O w. E. Fulton) Hickory and Spring streets
 June 13 was fixed as date for hearin, on building lines on Holmes and Centra avenues.

South Main Street Property Holders on
 the War Path.
 Following the instructions given him by the road commissioners last night, this morning City Engineer Weld sought out Contractor Blakeslee to make some ar engagements for the disposition of the paving blocks which are being piled upon South Main street. MT Blakeslee was not in town and could not be found until noon when sort of compromise was made by which he should leave open spaces in the piles of stone in front of the stores Mean while, however, the business men of the street about 100 in number, noticed that the stones were arriving faster than ever and leerned that there were forty car loads more at the depot. By noon time they commenced to get weary of waiting for relief and clubbed together, each agreeing to furnish a dollar, and sent a committee consisting of Miles Connolly, James Watts and George Brown to get out an injunc- tion. The committee waited on Attorney Root, who after looking over the matter, thought that ill order to get out an injunc- tion to protect the whole street, applica ton must be made to the state attorney
 Later in the afternoon it was thought an agreement could be reached, and the busi- ness men marked out spaces where they would allow the stones to he piled.

The Danbury Murderer Released Under
 Bonds of $5, 900.
 John McNif, the self confessed mur- derer of Francis Burns, was yesterday morning admitted to bail in So, 900, at pre- iminary hearing in Danbury, before Judge Hough. After examining nine witnesses, the hearing was adjourned until this morning. From the sworn testimony of six witnesses there seems little doubt that Burns death was the result of 8 brutal, cowardly murder. He was terribly bruised about the head and the upper part of the body. Coroner Holt's decision will be made to-day, when the case will pass under control of the borough court McNiffs victim was 26 years old, a natter, and was in poor health. He was one of four sons of an aged mother, now nearly heart broken over his tragic death. The wounds found upon Burns indicate he was trampled and stamped upon after being knocked down.

AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

The Oceanic Steamship Company
has been awarded the contract for
carrying the English mails from San
Francisco to the Colonies for one
year from November next, the COM
pensation being the same as that
paid for the past two years. The
company promises to reduce the
time, but it has not yet been deter
mined whether the steamers will
touch at San Diego to receive and
land the through mails. The new
contract abolishes all thought of Il
competing line from Port Moody to
Honolulu, Auckland and Sydney.
Canada's Intellectual effort to secure
a reciprocity treaty with the Hawai-
ian Government was great damper
to the enterprise, and without the
aid of New Zealand nothing could
be done. The Oceanic Company will
therefore have monopoly of the
carrying trade for year and a hall

DEATH AND MISFORTUNE.

A trading vessel has brought
news to San Francisco of the death
of Rev. Mr.. Logan, at Ruk, Dec.
9th. He was sick seven weeks
with fever, and died in relapse;
the last three days before death
being full of pain. Mrs. Logan and
the children will probably return on
the Morning Star. The Star left
Kusae for the west, Jan. 18th, and
may be expected here any day.
Miss Julia Pratt, sister of Pres.
A. Pratt, formerly of Punahou,
died suddenly at Columbus, Ohio,
Feb. goth. She has been living
with her brothers family in the
Ohio Deaf Mute Asylum, ever
since their departure from the
Islands.
Friends of Gen. Armstrong will
be sorry to hear of the calamity
that has befallen his Normal School
at Hampton, Va, in the loss of the
whole herd of cattle belonging to
the school. The whole number,
101, including So mich cows, had
to be killed, because of infection
with pleuro pneumonia. No animals
can be placed in the stables for four
months. The government pays a
nominal sum for the cattle killed,
but the loss to the institution is a
serious one. The contagion was in
troduced by cattle, brought from a
distance, apparently in good health.
The milk alone was valued at $3.50
per month.

Major Hills was here but did not

The boom is over, and real
estate is declining. Provisions are
high and the cost of living is twice
as great as in Honolulu.
A four-roomed cottage costs from
$50 to $40 month, and furnished
room from $40 to $50.
The town is overrun, the mocha
MICS being too numerous to mention,
and the number of people out of en-
ployment is enormous. Many who
have a few dollars left are departing
with all possible haste, mostly the
northward. Would advise no one
to come here to seek employment.
