An Omnibus Full of People Capsizeo
the Pail Road-General Shaking
Up but Nobody Seriously injured
Between and ) o'clock p. m.
18th inst. an omnibus from the Pan
theon Stables drawn by six-in-hand left
the Hawaiian Hotel with large party
OF excursionists to the Nuuanu Pail.
Dick Davis handled the three double
ribbons, having Jack Warner with him
on the box.
The following comprised the party
Mrs. Evans, Mrs. BeIau and brother,
Mr.. j. f. Siebe,.o San Francisco; Col.
Grannis, OF Chicago; Lieut.. knappe, OF
the U.S.S. Alert, and wife; Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore, OF Hamakua; Mr.. and Mrs. IL.
K. Macfarlane, Miss Widemann, Miss
Finclller, Miss Clara Low and Mr.. WIN.
Graham, manager OF the Hotel, of this
city. They enjoyed the trip to the Pail
and the scenery of that locality very
much, leaving for town at . so o'clock.
The vehicle rolled along merrily until
near the Hallway House. Then, on
coming down the steep hill at that point,
it was necessary to put on brakes, but the
brake blocks turned and there was no.
thing wherewith to check the momen-
tum. Davis felt his hands getting tired
holding back the horses and gave the
lines over to Warner 1t was impossible,
however, for the latter to check the
horses with the heavy load pushing
them. The animals swerved to one side
and the omnibus went clean over on its
side. Nearly all the passengers were for
the moment dazed by the shock,
but the horses stopping short
averted further danger Mrs Belau
was under the fallen vehicle and
had it been moved along the ground she
would certainly have Jared very badly.
Col. Grannis, although here seeking re-
cuperatiOn in health, and Miss Wide
mann were the first to realize the stu
alton. With heroic effort they tilted
up one side OF the omnibus and released
Mrs. Belau from her perilous position.
Word was telephOned to town, car
riages being ordered out for the passen-
gers, and Dr. Trousseau summoned to
meet them at the Hotel. He and DR..
McGrew were there when the battered
eXcursionists were brought in Forum
ately nothing worse than facial scratches
and somewhat severe bruises required
their treatment. Mrs. Belau was pretty
sore from her experience. Col. Grannis
had deep scratch above one eye and
Mr.. Moore a similar wound in the check,
and both were considerably bruised
about the person The Colonel and Miss
Widemann strained themselves severely
in the heavy lift aforementioned. Mr..
Macfarlane, who drove directly home,
required DIR. Trousseau's attendance
chiefly for a bruised leg, and will feel his
injury the more on account OF recent i'll |
ness. The other members Of the party
were little the worse for the mishap.
The drivers escaped almost unhurt.
There was not enough help near to bring
the omnibus home. 1t will need some !
repairs.
Mr.. Moore is the greatest suf-
ferer, being too sore to move, so that he |
and Mrs. Moore were prevented return |
ing home by the kinau as projected. |
Col. Graunis is another OF those laid up, |
but his natural jollity asserts itself in |
joking over his aches. The others still |
requiring nursing are Mrs. Belau, Miss
Widemann and Mr.. II. r. Macfarlane.
