HILo RETROSPECT AND NEWS.
(From the Hilo Record.)

(From the Hilo Record.l
In looking back over the past year
we find reason to be thankful in
many respects. Our progress as
town has been characterized by q
slow but sure advance. To-day our
town shows quite an advance in
buildings and population. Quite
large number of Portuguese families
have settled in town, and are making
homes for themselves in our midst
We have reason to believe that the
present census will show a great adj
vance in our population. Probably
we number about 1000, whereas at
the.last census, some six years since,
we only numbered 1900. New build
ings have been erected in many parts
of the town, and still many others
are in process of erection. Business
has been fairly good, and our bust
ness men have no reason to complain.
The Government has been awake to
the putting in of improvements, as
far as the funds would allow. Our
roads have been gradually improved
until our streets show we'll alongside
of those in other parts of the Islands.
We have good carriage road as far
as Onomea one way and to Olaa the
other. The canal to Waiakea stream
from the Waiolama has been de-
cided success, giving us fine drive
along Front street to Waiakea land
ing. Active work has begun ON our
water pipe system, and we hope will
be pushed right along.
Our health has been good, very
little sickness having been abroad
amongst us. Socially we have made
advance; our social reunions, tending
to bring us into better acquaintance,
have been we'll attended. The Lit
erary club has been a decided sue
cess on that of past years, and has
given our young people something
to do other than to attend on the
saloons and other places of low re-
sort,and we sincerely hope that their
work will be kept up during the
coming year. So, as we have before
said, we have reason to be thankful
for our progress during the past
year, and may our New Year show
no less advance.
The Government has at last com
menced to look after the Volcano
road. Mr.. Bruner is at present over
hauling the best route to the Vol
cano,it seeming to him that the road
can be built farther in the woods
than it now island with less expense
than it would take to build it across
the pahoehoe. We are almost sure
that it can be done, and wish MIR
Bruner success in his Investigations
AS to the advisibility of giving ou
the road to be built under contract
we don't think it the best way. Sucf
road ought to built in the bes
possible manner, in order to last fol
all time.
| We learn that an accident hap
pened to a traveller in the Waipit
gulch. In descending the Pail OF
the Hamakua side, his horse in go
ing too near the side of the road
slipped off, carrying his rider dowl
some feet. The rider escaped from
the saddle, but the horse continued
his down journey, and was ever
lastingly smashed up on reaching
the bottom of the pail. We suppose
the Bulletin will also lay this to thu
late Cabinet.

He was a tall, athletic man. A careless

than he was-these, and an expression OF
habitual melancholy.

history of the war, its causes and it's results

Dastardly Assault in Stratford.

Dastardly Assault in Stratford. BRIDGEPORT, May 1S.-A most despica-
 ble attack on defenseless young lady waf
 made Saturday evening at Stratferd. The Standard says: About half-past o'clock,
 as Miss Minnie Lewis was returning from the postoffice to her home on Tory hill, so called, man came out of the yard of the unoccupied Isaac Lewis homestead and followed behind her. She saw him as he came out, but took no further notice of him until they were short distance be- yond the corner, when he suddenly seized her and threw her down and tried to choke her. She fought desperately and succeed ed in beating him off, and her screams ap- parently frightened him, for he ran across the road and jumped over the fence.
 This happened in the loneliest part of her walk. and although people heard her screams, they thought they came from children, and no one went to her assist ance. Meanwhile, Miss Lewis, although
 desperately frightened and nearly e1- hausted by her struggle, hurried as fast as she could up the hill. When she had almost reached home, and was nearly op- posite MT. Chevalle's house, tho fellow at lacked her again, threw her down and once more attempted to choke her, but by her struggles and screams she again es- capped and ran home. She describes her assailant as dark complexioned, thick set man, with broad shoulders, dark hair, thin moustache and black eyes. He was dressed in suit of dark clothes.
 - MT. Chevalle was at his work at that hour in the store of L. H. Todd & Co. Unfortunately Miss Lewis went immedi- ately home and did not rouse the neigh borhood if she had the miscreant might have been caught and properly punished.

FIRE IN wEsTvILLE.

 Early in the Morning on a "ho
 Goose Chase-The only Fire Was In
 . Strawberry Patch.
 Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing usually quiet portion Of the town or New Haven was awakened from its peace full sleep by the loud ringing of the church bells and general commotion in the streets. As soon as possible several of tho inhabitants reached the windows of their respective houses and looking out into the darkness of the night discovered the entire fire department, consisting of one hand engine and accompanied by a single individual standing in the main street and calling out, between the sonor- ous clangs of the various church bells, that there was fire in the place and for all to come out and help subdue the fiery flames. After e short delay numerous recruits were pressed into service and they together with other members of the de- pertinent who had meanwhile arrived upon the scene, hurried off to ascertain the whereabouts of the confagration After little delay it wal | learned that the fire was upon the premises occupied by A. W. Farnham the extensive grower of farm produce When it was at last ascertained where tht fire was the "fire laddies" proceeded on { dead canter for the spot. As the fire hao l such a start on the department extra haste was deemed necessary and when the boy arrived at the scene nearly all of then were considerably out of breath. Arrived at the scene of danger,-no trouble wal found in perceiving the whereabouts O. the fire, but after carefully looking oveI the premises it was decided that ther
 was no need of the services of the fir department, which silently returned to ward home The cause of the excitemen which had called out the department ant

 more nor less than series of bonfire
 which Mir. Farnham had had built ant

 away the frost from his strawberr. patches It was curious spectacle, al
 those small fires lighting up the gloom o

Congressman Wilcox a Loser by a
 Texas SEindler.

A dispatch from Clarksville, Tex, yes terday, says: A warrant has been sworn out for the arrest of H. B. Wright, prom inent lawyer of the firm of Simms & Wright, on the charge of embezzlement. Saturday Lewis NJ. Dabney of Dallas, the attorney in this state for the Middlesex Banking company of Middletown, Conn.,, arrived in the city and proceeded at once to the office of Simms & Wright and de- maded the immediate payment of $4,500 that he claimed Wright had obtained by fraudulent representations.
 It was about noon and Wright told him he would go to dinner and return at 1:3O o'clock and arrange the matter. He did not return. About 2:30 Dabney went to Wright's house, but Wright was not there and has not been seen since.
 Wright has been handling money here for several eastern concerns and was i'm plicitly trusted. This trust has been be- trayed. His liabilities are placed at near ly or quite $75, ,000, but there is no present way to discover how much he has swindled the loan companies out of.
 One of his victims is Congressman Will COX of Chester, Conn.,, to whom he owes $6,00O. He has wife and four children.
