Graenhalgh,s Business.

About thirty persons, interested as
creditors of Mr.. ". II. Graenhalgh, met
at the Arlington at ? p. IN. Wednesday
Mr.. Bolte, who holds power OF attorney
from Mr.. g., made statement of his
liabilities, from which and from claims
presented at the meeting, it appears that
his liabilities foot up $lS,50O, and may
be still larger. Mr.. Thrum is his largest
creditor, to about one-half the above
amount Considerable discussion en-
sued as to the course to be taken, and it
was finally voted to continue the bust
ness in the hands OF two assignees, until
Mr.. Graenhalgh's return or until he can
be communicated with in relation to his
business.
At the second meeting of Mr. Graen-
halgh's creditors, held on Friday after
noon, it was mutually agreed in writ
ten instrument that no proceedings
should be taken against the property
until December Dist, when there is a
possibility of the absent debtor return
ing or being heard from The agree
ment is to be void in case of any other
OF the creditors taking proceedings in
the meantime. 4 report that Mr.. Graen-
halgh had gone to New York TO look
after a legacy worth $4,000 was dis
cussed with varying degrees of opinion
as to its credibility.

a Fire Alarm.

An alarm OF fire was struck about ten
minutes to 6 O'Clock Wednesday evening.
The telephones said the cause was at the
corner Of Fort and School streets. Fire
men, police and citizens ran in that
direction, but found no fire and the i'm
preston was general that the alarm was
false. This was scarcely the case, how
ever, as a lamp had been tipped over in
Mr.. Henry Smiths kitchen on Fort
street, and the oil taking fire ran on the
floor. The flames were easily put out
by the household, but in the meantime
an alarm had been sent in on the Mu-
tual telephone from the house OF Mr.. 0.

MAUI NOTES.
A Variety of Interesting Items-New
Hallway Arrangements.

a Variety OF Interesting IteWs--NeN
Hallway Arrangements.
Some mean fellows played an ugly
trick on the Paia Plantation last week.
A gang OF Portuguese was employed in
cutting down the prickly pear and after
work the tools were left in the field for
use next morning. On going to the field
in the morning every axe, hoe and pick
were found with their handles cut off.
OF course the plantation was loser but it
is whispered that certain members OF the
gang had a grudge against the luna and
did the trick to spite him.
The Makawao Literary Society had
very successful entertainment at Mr..
Lowrie's on Tuesday evening, which was
well attended in spite OF the muddy
roads. The feature OF the evening was
talk by Mr.. W. Goodale on "Old times
in the Islands" As he came here over
forty years ago and was employed by the
Government in several capacities at that
time he could speak from personal
knowledge 1t is to be hoped that he
may be persuaded to continue them. A
character song was the closing number
of the programme and was well rend-
cred. 1t was entitled, Well have 10
Mortgage the Farm"
Wilder q Co. have put up capacious
new depot at Paia and have arranged
time card for running their trains on
time, which will be great convenience
to the people here. There will be two
trains daily from Paia and three trains
from Wailuku. Makawao people can leave
Paia now at 9:45 a. M, and spend the
day at Kahului or one hour at Waikiki
as they see fit, and return to Paia in the
afternoon. An afternoon train will leave
Waikiki people to spend the day in Ma
kawao and return home the same day.
Wailuku people can leave for Paia via
Kahului at S:45 d. m. and II 40 Il. m.
and for Kahului only at 10 p. m. This
new departure ought to be fully appre-
ciaJed by the travelling public and the
trains well patronized.
The new church at Makawao is being
rapidly completed and will be one Of the
handsomest churches in the islands. 1t
is rumored that several of the most
prominent clergymen OF Honolulu will
assist at the dedication about the first Of
January. The church stands in very
commanding position, being on the site
OF the old Alexander & Baldwin mill at
Paliuli.
Our Makawao roads are being put in
excellent condition by the road board,
and we hear nothing more OF the ancient
Gibsonian cry OF no money" Long
may the present regime continue.

The silhons.

A fair-sized audience met the Silbons
in the Opera House last night. 1t was
pretty much the same old programme,
with the exception of the tableaux and
the closing pantomime. The latter had
funny pieces but as whole was inco-
herent Great dissatisfaction was felt
that the two-bar somersault act was not
performed according to promise. The
living models of marble art were very
good and received with tokens of pleas
ure, novel feature being the transform
alton Of the marble into india rubber, in
the acrobatic feats done in front of the
raised pedestal. As for the trapeze and
acrobatic feats generally, they were most
cleverly done and duly appreciated.

An important circular to Government

An important circular to Government
school agents and teachers, regarding
moral teaching in the common schools,
is published by authority in this issue
1t will be seen that the solution of the
difficulty about sectarian instruction Is
sought by 4 method familiar to the dis
cussion here and elsewhere, namely, the
apportionment of certain equal hours in
the week to clergymen OF different de-
nominations, for importing religious in
struction to children, over whom they
have pastoral jurisdiction respectively.

A CONFEDERATION.

Seven Buildings Burned at Laupahoe-
hoe-Loss Ten Thousand Dollars
Malicious Burning.
A very destructive fire occurred at
Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, on the morning
of November DIST. 1t started at l a. M
in the basement of All Lees store and
burned fercely, sweeping away seven
buildings including two stores. The fire
was first discovered by native boy,
who Immediately gave the alarm; but
the flames had then such Roadway that
there was no chance of extinguishing it,
while sea breeze made the fire spread
very quickly. The Chinese nearly all
refused to help in saving property, al
though there were one or two exceptions.
The loss falls very heavily on some
parties, as only the stores were insured.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000,
some people saving only the clothes
they stood in. Several of the buildings
could have been saved if the water pipes
had been laid on, which have been
promised for a long time. An inquiry
was held before Z. w. Barnard, and
after five hours elaboration was ad-
journed to secure further evidence. A
verdict was finally brought in OF mali
cious burning against some party or
parties unknown.
