of its value he never purchased at
those offers and, in one case, where the
party a few days afterward concluded
to accept his offer. McComb replied that
IL was not an open one, and declined to
take the stock. think, with Judge
Wales, that those offers were made to
satisfy the holders of the stock that il
was their interest TO keep it.
THE plea of the statute Of limitations
set up by the defendants does not lie in
this case. 1t is case of pure trust sub.
sisting to this hour and not denied. Had
the trust been repudiated, the statute
might have run from the time Of such
reputation. But it has never been re-
pudiated
Further reasons are given, the decision
on this point ending with Sufficient
reason is shown for any delay that has
occurred. The secrecy observed by Nc
Comb in his transactions with the Penn
sylvania Company and the ignorance in
which Snyder and his representatives
were kept, are a sufficient answer TO the
charge of unreasonable delay.
The remainder of the opinion decides
against the plea Of the defence Of res
judicsta, giving the reason why it is un
tensble. The opinion closes with these
words.

Crops spoiled by Rain.

Special correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
CHRISTIAN, July 3.-There has been
so much wet weather in this section the
last few days that 1t threatens TO injure
the wheat crop. Wheat is all cut but it
is still standing in shocks in the field as
the weather has been so unfavorable.
Should this continue much longer, wheat
will be injured considerably. There is
large hay crop this season but the un-
favorable weather has kept the farmers
from harvesting much of 1t. A large
amount of hay was cut on Saturday
which will be = little use now that 80
much rain has fallen on It. The pros
poets are now of fair though not large
crop of oats. The outlook for corn Is not
very favorable on account of the cool
nights and too much rain.
There win be no public display here to-
morrow, but there will be several places
of amusement to 60 to. A large crowd
will go to the jubilee in CannOn's woods
near Salem. Some viii go to Brandy
wine Springs as it is only seven miles
/ from here.

Deputy Acknowledgement Peterson and
Mr.. w. Luther Wilcox, interpreter, ar
rived in town from Waialua at o'clock
on Friday morning. There was not SUI

alton of Ailau, held on suspicion for the
murder OF Johnson, his father-in-law.

Peterson privately interviewed several
persons for information Capt. Larsen
remained on the ground to further work
up the case.
Strange circumstances are found to
surround the dark deed. When johnson
was discovered shot dead, one of his
hands held pistol of 80 calibre. This
at first had the planned effect Of starting
the theory OF suicide. But a bullet mark
was found on the window sash, and the
bullet that killed the man proved to be.

A GAY EVENT.
BAH of the Honolulu Social Club on

Bali Of the Honolulu Social Club on
New Years Eve.
The ball OF the Honolulu Social Club
given in MeIneny hall on New Years
eve was very successful. Never was a
hall more profusely decorated in Homo
lulu, although the danger of overriding
it was avoided by tasteful designing Of
details. The ceiling hung with green fes-
toons OF graceful stretch, the walls close
ly tapestried with flags, and forai
devices wherever the glance LIT, made
up harmonious setting for the ami
mated scene Of gaiety on the spacious
floor. There was very large atten-
dance, probably a hundred couples for
dancing besides many spectators. Scarce
ly any lover Of Terpsichore in the city,
from the gray-haired sire to the bloom
ing youth, could be found missing. Prof.
Berger and his string band, with Mr.. w.
q. Ashley at the piano, left nothing to
be desired in the way Of music. Ice
cream and its cognate viands were
served throughout at tables. The party
got through the programme about three
O'Clock New Years morning.

The Zen Telephone Lines.

Mr. John Cassidy, Superintendent Of
the Hawaiian Bell Telephone Company,
Friday afternoon had all the city lines
restored in good working order. SO nu-
merously had the poles been cut and
broken down during the storm that he
kept no account Of the number. On
Saturday Dir. Cassidy went to the Nuu-
anu Pail to repair an interruption to the
line at that point. He would also replace
the composition wire with copper wire,
the iormer being very short-liVed in the
salt air. A stretch Of copper wire in
serted in the Koolau line about two
years ago is still in perfect order, while
the iron-ziBe wire in that direction has
become badly deteriorated.
