MAUI HAPPENINGS.
KahuIui to Have Ice WOrks-A
Sudden Death.


Kahuluites will soon have the OPP
portunity of cooling their tepid
"Adam's ale" with ice. A company,
probably consisting of the same men
who compose the Maui Electric Light
& Power Co., will establish an ice
works in about month; Kahului
will then have most of the modern
conveniences of life - telephones,
electric lights and ice.
Some time last week an aged native
named Kanui was riding through the
streets of Waikiki in state of intoxi-
cation. He suddenly fell from his
horse, and when the bystanders pick
ed him up they found that he was
dead, heart disease being the probable
cause.
On the 23d inst, Henry Long,
tax police officer, was acquitted of the
| charge of highway robbery of
Chinaman by Judge Richardson of
the Waikiki Court. The story of the
| Chinaman which caused the arrest is
something as follows: On the night of
the 18th instant, between and 9
o'clock, he was held up in the sand
| hills between Waikiki and Kahului
| by aforesaid officer and his tax receipt
! demanded. He replied to the demand
that the paper was at his house, and
| if the officer would accompany him
he would produce it. This reply did
not satisfy Mr.. Long, who proceeded
to search him-not sparing even the
Celestials hair from a thorough over
hauling. Meanwhile the Mongolian
held his purse in his hand; after
searching in vain, the officer perceiv-
ing the money bag took it and from it
distracted ten dollar gold piece.
This evidence unsupported was deem
ed insufficient to procure conviction.
On the 25th inst, the Tax Appeal
Board met in Wailuku, and the deci-
sion in it's own case was a comprO-
mise. On the Goth inst, the MakaWao
Board, composed of Messrs. A. Hook
ing, n. Ormsted and the Judge, met.
In the case of the Haleakala Ranch
Co., their appeal on working cattle
was sustained, but they lost when it
came to the question of herd cattle at
So per head. Awana lost his appeal
in regard to the value of his mer-
chandise.
DR.. G. Herbert, having returned
from an extensive foreign tour, is
again established among his Wal
luku friends, and DR.. G.. L. Stowe as
sumes his position in Makawao dis
trict. DR.. E. r. Holmes, who has
been pFacticing for several months in
the district departed on the 9th inst.
for San Francisco via Honolulu. His
many friends wish him aloha and
bon voyage.
Mr.. G. Fl. V. Foster of Paia, who so
CALAMITY acted the part of best man
and master of ceremonies at the Car
ley wedding a week ago, departs to-
day for Honolulu to take part in his
own bridal. He will be married on
the LIST of December at the English
cathedral; the wedding to take place
in the morning and reception in the
afternoon. Congratulations from
Maui.
On Wednesday, the 25th inst, the
schooner Anna, Captain E. A. Will
liams, set sail for San Francisco.
"Kalakaua Day" and Thanksgiv-
ing Day passed off without remarks,
without even a hint of celebration;
now the Hawaiian Independence
Day is gliding away much after the
same style, though there is some re-
port of feast and political talk in
the Kula regions.
Pleasant weather continues in spite
of the fact that recently the noun
tain tops have been devoid of clouds
several times, and the wind has
vainly attempted a southerly direc-
ton.
