Hurdle, Joseph Petitdemange, S. II.
Baynard, Elias N. Moore, w. V. Sipple,
Horace Sudler, John Garrison, William
A. Cochran, David Eckoff. Two names
were challenged by the prosecuting Off
Ger, Z. B. Frazer and Edward Frazer.
The first witness called by District
Attorney Beniah Watson was George
w. Beeson, lad Of IS, who testified to
the fact of receiving the coin from
Cassidy. He identified the prisoners
and added that before he had time to
get the coin in his pocket they ran off
to the gates as fast as they could. De-
tective Hatton related the story Of the
| arrest. Detective Hawkins testified that
while under arrest Cassidy remarked
| that he .spassed the money and it would
get them into great deal of trouble"
| The next witness was Secret Service
| Agent William z. Lindner, who said
| that his particular business is the sup
preston of counterfeiting. The coun-
\ terfeit dollar was shown him. He had
no hesitation in Judging it as spurious.
The witness has been IA years in govern
ment service and lives In Philadelphia.
For the defence Harry NJ. Mullin
and Peter Cassidy appeared as wit
nesses. The former, in reply to a
question from the government prose-
cutor, said that he had not appeared
before the commissioner to give testi-
mony.
To the court-"Nd, your honor,
couldn't find out anything about it.
Everyone l asked said they knew
nothing about the trial"
Peter Cassidy, the second witness, is
brother Of one Of the prisoners. Both
defendants, on invitation of the court,
made statements before the jury They
entirely denied the charge.

the hopes raised in the breasts OF the

them to leave Honolulu or to stay on
Molokai.

The contract for the new building

A CURIOSITY.

DR.. VIM. Hammond shows, among
his most remarkable curiosities, a
well-preserved bone of the extinct
moa bird of New Zealand-the scien-
tific name being dinoris gigantous.
1t is the lower bone of the leg, or
tibia, weighs 8lb. and measures 368
inches in length, y inches smallest,
and IS inches greatest circumfer-
ence. This is the third largest spe-
cimen known, the first, 80 inches
long, being in the British Museum,
and the second, 81 inches, in the
Christchu CHI, n. H., Museum. DR..
Hammond has also good specimen
of the upper mandible of the same
bird, but one has never been found
attached to the skull. The tibia was
dug up in swamp. A sailor made
the first discovery, although it was
an imperfect specimen, of one of
these bones. He took it to the Brit
ish Museum and asked f10 for it.,
but was laughed al and told it was a
beef bone. However, he left it there
over night and, when he returned, a
complete sketch of the mammoth
bird to which it belonged had been
made by naturalist. 1t was Jack $
turn to laugh.

A BIO SHARK.
o. Attac.- IA fi-hrtman'- canoe or
Nahaakn.


HakAakn.
A huge shark attacked llshing
canoe off kakaako about 4 O'Clock
this morning. In the canoe was l.
Nauha, the owner Of it, and two
other natives. Theirs was one OF
the usual dotilla OF fishing canoes re.
turning home from a nights toll.
When Fl the old branch hospital the
shark was spied approaching, its
great bulk lunging through the water
IN line parallel to Nauha's canoe.
The fishermen in alarm ceased ply
my their paddles to watch tue great
fish. In a nom Mt the shark was
alongside and dartiDg up seized an
arm of the outrigger in its teeth
Before letting go its grip the mon
ster shook the canoe as dog would
shake another in tussle. The
shark swan away a short distance
only to turn sharply and attack the
canoe again. This time it grabbed
the other arm of the outrigger aud
crunched it in twain. The hungry
rage of the fish was apparently now
appeased, as it disappeared in the
depths and did not return to either
brighten or feed on the fishermen.
According to the accounts of differ
ent men who saw the shark, it was
fully Is feet long. 1t was probably
tiger" shark, and boaters aud
bathers will show wise discretion,
unless well-armed for its despatch,
to treat any Of this species with dis.
tant respect. The remaining out
rigger arm of the canoe attacked by
his fellow is deeply marked by its
teeth, and chips are taken out Of the
hard wood as clearly as if done with
