the town, the church going element being
largely represented in the district, as the in
habitants of the town could not of course sup
port so many churches themselves. There Is
good public school kept open throughout
the year. In every place you visit in Mani

The French miracle" Gun.


The German press is discussing
at length the merits of n new French
repeating air rifle called the "mira-
Gle" gun. The rifle was invented by
M. Paul Giffard, in Paris, the origi-
nal protector of the Partisan Dneu-
matte post. 1t is described thus:
1.-THE weapon is light--much light
er than any OF the army rifles now
in use. 1t resembles the magazine
gun in that n steer cartridge about n
span and halt long and as thick as
q mans thumb is attached to the
one barrel by means of screw
This cartridge contains 800 shots,
which can be discharged as rapidly
or slowly as n man desires. Since
neither powder nor any other explo-
sive, but only compressed and liqui-
fed air, supplies the expelling force,
no smoke and no fash accompanies
the discharge Only q short, sharp,
low report is heard as the ball leaves
the cartridge.
"At the recent trial the BALI tray
eled with wonderful accuracy, and
penetrated deeply into the wall oi
the shooting room. AS soon as one
of the cartridges is emptied of its
800 shots another cartridge can DO
screwed on the gun in the twinkling
Of AN eye. M. Giffard says that tho
800 shots in a cartridge can be pro
duced at a cost of about two and
one-hali cents. The gun itself con be
manufactured for about So"

much ready cash for taxes and interest on

me. can hardly conceive Of a more beau'i-
full farming country than on which my eyes
rested as we approached the Pipestone. The
impression it gave me was that of well set
tied part of Ontario where the timber has
been cleared off large areas leaving scattered
clumps of trees, separated by rolling fields of
well cleared land, from which all signs Of oc-
cupation such as houses and fences had been
removed, broad stretches of richly grassed
lands with here and there clumps Of wood on
the tops of the undulations, or bordering mea
dows bearing grass tall enough to reach to
the box of our Wagon.

Burglars Disturbed.

About IL o'clock last night Mrs.
Edw. Preston and her companion
Mrs. johnson were sitting on the
front veranda Of the house corner of
King and Piikoi streets, when they
heard q noise in the rear part of the
house as If someone was trying to
get in. Upon going in the direction
of the noise, they found that some
one had been attempting to force
open the dining room door. The
furniture is to be sold to-day and
was all ready laid out for the sale.
It was evidently supposed by those
who tried to get into the house that
it was not occupied but they got
fooled. Judge Bickerton was noti-
fed and he telephoned to the sta
ton house to have men sent out to
guard the house all night.

THE MURDERER CAUGAT.

A Native Comes Across Lni, Who Shot
Charles Hiram, In tho Immigration
Depot.
Yesterday evening q few minutes
past 9 o'clock q hack was driven
rapidly along Merchant street and
stopped in front of the Station house.
Two men alighted from the hack.
One was q native named Joe. Kamai,
the other Lui, the New Hebridean
who shot and killed Charles Hiram
ON the night of the 9Th inst, and for
whose arrest q reward of $500 had
been offered by Marshal Soper. 1t
is also understood that the widow OF
the murdered man offered an addi-
tional reward of $3.50.
Lui was taken into the Station
House and searched. A knife and
some tobacco was all that was found
on his person. He is short man
with a mustache and closely cut
beard. He had on dark clothes, his
coat being buttoned up close to the
neck. On the fourth finger of his
right hand is plain ring, and he
wore a straw hat. His feet were
bare. As soon as searched, hand
cuffs were put on him and he was
locked up in a cell. The New
Hebridean woman who has been de-
tanned at the Station House, fully
identified him. An ADVERTISER re-
preventative visited Lui in the cell
with the Marshal. He looked very
unconcerned, and hardly the man
to commit such foul deed as he
did. He was asked If he was hum
cry and would like some coffee.
He said Yes, all same" The Mar
shall ordered the handouts to be
taken off, supper was sent for
him, and it did not take him long to
dispatch it.
Joe. Kamai the young man who
found Lui, said he had been on the
look out for him for several nights.
He had some kind of a prediction
that Lui was around the Immigra-
ton depot and he watched it very
closely. About $3.50 o'clock last
evening he went to the depot and
after hanging around for about half
an hour saw an object moving near
one of the houses in the grounds.
Kamai climbed over the fence quietly
and made for the house. A moment
later he had hold of the object, which
proved to be Lui the murderer. The
latter made no resistance and a hack
being obtained he was placed in it
aud taken to the Station house.
Underneath the house near where
Lui was caught is large hole in
which it is supposed he hid during
the day.
For several days past Marshal
Soper has had gangs Of men search
ing in the valleys for Lui. Yesterday
it was thought clue had been OBJ
tanned, as some Chinese living in
Manoa complained of losing taro and
chickens.

Two Trains Collide.

TWO TRAINS CO1uO0s
At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
working train left the depot, Homo
lulu in charge of conductor Doyle,
Jas. Riley at the engine. On reach
ing Kalihi another train was coming
from Eva and it was plainly seen
that collision was inevitable. Riley
quickly reversed his engine which
was running with the tender fore
most, and then jumped off. A mo-
ment later the train from Eva run
into the engine with considerable
force, doing much damage to the
tender. No one was hurt. !, The
accident was the result of careless
ness the conductor going out OF the
depot without orders.

heard at the corner Of Hotel and
M6dnakea streets. Near the corner
81 the latter street, on Hotel street,
is store occupied by Tong Mau. In
rear, a large basket containing rub
bish was discovered on fire, and when
first noticed the fire was communi-
eating to a bath house. It was put
out with buckets of water. Had it
not been found out in time, there is
no telling what might have been the
result. Fire Marshal White was on
the spot, and after making an inves-
tigation was fully satisfied that the
fire was the work Of an incendlary.
