Wind and Rain.

Everybody expected radical change
from the intensely oppressive weather
that mad held sway an unusually long
period for the season. It came during
Sunday night last, gusty and showery
spell up till midnight increasing. in the
small hours of Monday morning, to a
regular westerly gale with torrents of
rain. Daylight introduced the sight of a.
good deal of damage on land along with
very lively time on the water. People
Hooked to the harbor front to see the
shipping made to a great extent the
sport OF the elements. The heaviest feat
OF the gale was probably its action upon
the Y. 5. s. Omaha. This ship was
forced from her moorings at the naval
anchorage, and drifting toward the Fort
street wharf came in collision with the
British iron bark Woollahra. A good
deal OF damage was done on board both
vessels, and the warship had not got
out OF her wrong position last night
There was a somewhat disastrous com
plicatiOn between the German bark
Printzenberg and the Wilder steamer
Mokolll. Several other large vessels got
into scrapes more or less serious, while
havoc was wrought amongst pleasure
boats and small craft generally. Short
space forbids attempting record of the
multitude of incidents of the boiling
bay.
Ashore, heavy losses occurred through
out the district from Palama to Waikiki
in trees, fences and other susceptible i'm
provements. A fine papaia tree close to
the Mutual Telephone Co.'s building
was uprooted. OF course all depressions
in streets and sidewalks were marked
with pools, while the cutters ran rivers
and too often encroached in breadth
as we'll as length upon the roads.
Up till dark Monday evening two
and a quarter inches of rainfall was
registered on the plains. Telephones
gave forth symptoms of arrangement
early in the storm Wraith's career, in
certain instances tolling out something
like fire alarm for several seconds at a
time. The street electric lighting sys-
tenn cut weird capers the early part OF
the night, internationally faring in and
flashing out until, about 10 o'clock, even
the isolated lamps, that had in spells
glOWed brightly while many around
them gave only an occasional sputter of
sparks, "doused" their uncertain ''glim"
and left the town in complete darkness.
While the electric light current was on,
much damage was inflicted upon tele-
phenes, whether from crossed wires or
moisture cOnductiOn, or both. No less
than thirteen instruments are reported
burned out on the Bell line, but the
Mutual office claims immunity on its
circuits. The storm had moderated con-
siderably at dusk, yet there was no set
Element by long odds at midnight.

The Other Side of the Omaha Row.

The Other Side of the Omaha Row.
Our reporter has been requested to
give the other side of the story, in the
matter of trouble between policeman
and men of the U. S. S. Omaha on board
of that vessel, the account reported at
the police station, which appears in the
Bulletin, being the side of the police.
According to that account, Officer Ke-
uni and another policeman were taking
two deserters on board the ship, and
while the other officer remained in the
boat Keumi took the deserters on board
handcuffed. Then, when Keumi had
unshackled the men, a dozen or so OF
the Omaha men jumped on Keumi and
kicked and punched him numerically.
He received an ugly blow over the eye,
and to save himself went overheard"
The statement made for this paper
on behalf of the Omaha men given be-
low is a good deal different from the
above account. 1t is asserted that only
one mana captured deserving marine
named Patten-beat the policeman and
drove him overheard. Previous to taking
Patten on board as prisoner, the police
man had him handcuffed and beat him,
in fact coWhided him. The Omaha men
allege that the police habitually abuse
naval prisoners at the station. One in
stance is given where a man-Of-War's
man was challenged to fight by police
man on duty.

Ed Acoident to am Omaha omeer.

A serious accident happened at the
Park Beach Hotel, Waikiki, Saturday
morning about o'clock, to Mr.. Trott,
paymasier's clerk of the IS. S. Omaha.
He was having weeks parole on &C.
count of poor health, taking a
second story room over the bill
lard hall, situated in one OF the
buildings belonging to the hotel. At
the time named he arose and went out
it is thought in state of somnambu-
lism-and falling over low veranda
railing was preciPitated on , the gaIyan5
lied roof of a shed, thence rolling off and
falling upon the beach. One OF his legs
was broken by the rugged fall, SO badly
that one of the bones OF the lower llm6
gave the earliest possible treatment to
the injured man, after which the latter
was removed to the Queens Hospital.
His ankle was in bad way at our last
accounts, it being conjectural whether
the foot would not have to be amputated.
