MAUI HAPPENINGS.
Death of a Wailuku Lawyer-La-
haina and Other Items.

W A@N~S $1,000 -
Land Commissioners at Pauwela
met with fatal accident in Kuau
during Friday morning, the 4th
inst. Judge Kealoha, Of Ulupala-
kua, and S. E. Kaiue, the other
two members of the Land Commits
sion, while returning in brake
noticed a riderless horse at the
fork of the roads in Kuau and near
at hand discovered their friend
Kapule lying on the ground and
insensible. They conveyed him to
the residence of Rev. Kuia, of Paia,
where he expired before any medi-
cal aid could be administered.
Death resulted probably from inter
nal injuries. The deceased was
about sixty years of age and a we'll
known and much respected citizen.
LAHAINA ITEMS.
At a recent meeting Of the Road
Board, of which Raymond Makekau
is chairman, Charles Cocket was
chosen to be Road Supervisor of
the district at a salary of $50 per
month. The road tax amounts to
about $500 per annum, which
amount, plus whatever money there
is on hand, will be the sum for
which Mr.. Cocket must file bond
On Saturday, the 9th of Janu-
airy, occurred a match game of ball
on the grounds near the cocoanut
grove in Lahaina. The home nine
was chiefly composed of Lahainalu-
ma students, of which J. M. Bright
acted as captain; the opposing
club was from Waikapu, in charge
of Hon. w. Edmunds. The La
haina team led the Waikapu boys
by six runs. Mr.. H. S. Townsend
and Rev. Mr.. Kitcat were umpires
and D. Taylor officiated as scorer.
A return game will be played at
Kahului on Kamehameha Day, the
18th inst.
THE KULA CORN MILL.
1t is interesting to note the pres
ence of even wee bit of machin-
cry on Maui different from the ON
nipresent plant that brushes the
stalk of the sugar cane. The Won
Tempsky mill is called the "Scien-
tific," and was manufactured in
Springfield, Ohio. It's action is very
simple but itdoes its work thorough
ly, and for two weeks past has been
turning out frst-class cracked corn.
This new venture will be undoubt-
eddy most successful, for in return
for samples circulated, large orders
have been received from Maui
plantations. 1t is put on the mar
ket at $50 per ton, being superior
as feed for stock to ground barley,
and about one-half the price. In a
week or two a whistle is to be
attached, whose clarion notes will
wake the echoes of pastoral Maka-
wac several times per diem.
STRAY NOTES.
The disheartening news about
the treaty has painted the island
blue from channel to channel; but
our more optimistic citizens main
tain that it is not true, for Presi-
dent Harrison spoke most favor
ably of Hawaii in his message, and
could not consistently change his
favor so quickly.
The next social evening under
the direction of the Makawao Lit
erary Society will take place at the
residence of Hon. and Mrs. III. P
Baldwin, Haiku, on Friday, March
18th. A pleasing and somewhat
elaborate programme is antici.
| pated. The April entertainment o.
the society will consist of the can
tata "Queen Esther"
On Wednesday, the I'd inst, the
J. D. Spreckels, Capt. Christensen,
arrived at Kahului. She brought
a cargo of general merchandise
and made the trip in nineteen days
Makawao district not only in
dulges in Spanish and French
classes, but recently some of the
ladies of the Makawao Foreign
| Church have been teaching the
Japanese women of Hamakuapokc
plantation the art of plain sewing
These latter, however, betray theil
| descent from a nation of pottery
makers and lacquer workers, by
preferring embroidery to the max
ing of that national garment-th'
holoku.
