Mr.. 2. G CAMARINos, President of
the Pearl City Fruit Company, left
on the steamer Zealanda to-day,
principally in the interest Of the COM
pany. He will make an extended

THE Oahu Railway & Land Com
pany has added wrecking car to its
equipment. 1t is to be hoped it will
not have much wrecking to do, but it
is of the greatest service in handling
heavy freight. The crane has lift
ing capacity of Is tons. Several large
boilers were swung off the hauling
trucks and loaded on freight cars, by
this machine the other day, in an al
most incredibly short space of time.
WHEN the members of Honolulu
Engine Co., No. l, returned to their
hall fir )m the funeral of the Prince

McVeigh, seconded by Mr.. w. f. Will
iiams, and passed unanimously, that
committee be appointed to draft
suitable resolution of coincidence to
Her Majesty. I he foreman appointed
Messrs. McVeigh, Geo. Sandman and
Williams.
BY the steamer Zealandia, Honolulu
Engine CO. No. l received set of the
latest spring harness for the new en-
CINE. 1t is in position suspended from
patent hanger over the pole. When
the horses jump to their places-as
they have now been trained to do at
the tap of the gong-the driver has
only to pull Il string and the harness
drops on their backs, the collar fast
ening by spring, and nothing re-
mains but to fasten the reins to the
brides. On trial the other day, thu
horses were harnessed to the engine
in 30 seconds. Quicker time will
doubtless be made with practise,
WORD comes from the Leper settle
ment that two nights of last week
some men broke into house OF the
Bishop Home established for unpro-
tected females under the management
of the franciscan Sisters. OF one OF
the men in question it is said that he
h, passed many years in prison for
she lding innocent blood. 1t is further
stated that Captain William Tell,
Superintendent of the Settlement,
has been successful in his researches.
Hope is expressed that the arm of
justice will reach he guilty ones and
that the parents OF the leper children
will see that the law does protect their
children in Mulokai.
