Concerning Sidewalks.


MIR. EDITOR: It is the usual
practice in Honolulu in constructing
a new sidewalk to have one or both
ends terminate in a drop of from six
to fifteen inches. This constitutes a
most effective man-trap in a dark
night. At all times it is disagreeable
for oldish people like me to step up
and down. King street from Fort
to Bethel is a sample nuisance in
this respect One who respects his
joints and bones, will shun the stores
on the mauka side. ] am sorry to
see that our friend, the Hon. w. Il.
Irwin is permitting the like error to
be committed where his sidewalk
ends at Chaplain street. It is a
splendid piece of tagging, and a
pleasure to walk upon-but what an
ugly drop at the end. Will not
friend Irwin have it sloped Of, and
oblige. ELEMAKULR.

An Assassin Makes Confession After
Twenty-Five Years.
ST. Louis, Mo, May ga strange
story comes from Palestine, Tex, showing
that the old adagc murder will out, " has
been start!ingly verified there by the arrest
OF an aged man and citizen for an assassi-
nation which occurred twenly.one years
ago.
One sunny morning about that time
boys on their way to mill found by the
roadside the body Of yonng Polk Ablcs,
riddled with bullets and lying ut the edge
OF little glade, seven miles west OF Pales-
tine. His right boot was pulled off and it
was known that no had been paid the
sum of $500 a few days before. Robbery
was at first supposed to be the sole motive
Young Ables was on his way to a dance at
Mrs. Wrights when murdered, aud par
ties at the house heard first horn blow,
then gun shots, followed by cries OF some
one in distress A short time after this
Ben Melainc, Oscar Fields and Devil John
Parker appeared at the dance and there is
n tradition that some woman ut the party
washed blood from Ben Melaines coat
sleeve. Suspicion became rife ia the
neighborhood and the further fact soon
leaked out that the murdered man was an
eye witness to the driving OF OF a bunch
OF horses by Henry Fields and the parties
above mentioned, Ab.es having detected
them swimming the horses across the
Trinity River. The four men mentioned
above were arrested, and an examining
trial had and the parties bound over to
await the action Of the grand jury.
IL is surprising to note the rapid changes
OF twenty years. In that period full
twenty people connected in one way or
another with the murder have died, aud
few persons now live who remember the
events Of the murder or the judicial invcs-
tigation which followed. Three OF the 70.
puied assnssins-Devil John Barker, o car
Fields and Ben Mclain-hayc passed in
their checks and gone TO pay their long ac-
counts. In January last Ben Melain sick.
encd and on his dea,hbcd confirmed the
suspicious Of many by dcathbcd confess
sion. lie confessed in the presence Of
several persons that he aud Parker
stationed themselves by the roadside
while Henry Fields and his son, Oscar.
went on ahead 10 watch for the victim;
the Fields were to blow blast on bora
should Ables be alone, and two blasts II hc
had company. The fatal blast sounded on
the stiffness OF the evening. aud few
minutes ailerward Ables, appearing alone,
the two concealed assassins killed him.
This confession revived old memories aud
suspicious. The Grand jury took il up,
found evidence to justify the prcsenlmcni
o! bill against Harry Fields. now a very
old man and the only one left Of the four
actors Of a dark tragedy. which had we'll
nigh faded from the minds Of all the men.

The Power OF our Military.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Capt Daniel NJ.
Taylor, who was directed by tho Secretary
OF War to observe the movements OF the
militia assembled at New York on the oc-
casion OF the Centennial celebration, with
particular reference TO the ability Of the
various commands to concentrate ut u
strategic point in short time, has re-
turned to this city and is preparing his re-
port. He was much pleased with the
result OF his visit, and says that fully 49,
600 miitiamen poured into the city with
out disturbance, on time and on an aver
age within sixteen hours from the time
they left their homes. As the troops
trains were detained by regular passenger
trains and were, in cases, sidetracked TO
permit other traffic to 20 on, Capt. Taylor
regards the time made as highly favorable,
and as demonstrating that in case OF need
30, 900 militiamen could be assembled in
New York within fifteen hours. The
Fourth New York brigade, coming from
outside the city, landed 2,i23 meh OF their
total strength OF $3.50 at Weenawken,
lunched, were ierried over the river,
marched TO Madison Square garden aud
stacked arms, all in one hour aud fifty
minutes, and this despite the fact that the
icrryhouscs, stations and streets were
iammed with people. Capt. Taylor also
remarked upon the enthusiastic reception
accorded by the public TO the militia, clad
in plain blue and with nothing but the
regular army accoutermen.s
