A LUCKY ESCAPE.
The Wife of DR.. Henri McGreW
Meets With an Accident.

Yesterday afternoon, about l 80
o'clock, an accident happened to
Mrs. Henri McGrew, the wife OF
the young doctor. The lady men
toned had been out shopping and
turned the horse she was driving
into Merchant street, with the in
tention of going home. While OPP
posite Hon. Paul Neumann's office,
a young man came along mounted
on bicycle and ran into the horse.
The animal became frightened at
once and started TO run away.
Mrs. McGrew did not lose her
presence of mind and tried to
check the horse on his wild run.
The horse ran along Merchant
street, turned into Alakea street.
and, in making a long turn into
King street, the carriage came in
contact with tree, demolishing
wheel of the vehicle, and arrested
for the instant the progress of the
frightened horse, which, however
started on again, but was imme
diately stopped by a native or
horseback. A number of men ther
seized the animals head.
The collision threw Mrs. Nc
| Grew with much force against thu
side of the carriage, bruising he
face and side. Mr. Petrie, who haC
assisted in stopping the horse
carried the lady into the house il
fainting condition.
DR.. McGrew stated last evening
that his wife received a sever
nervous shock in addition to tn
bruises mentioned, and that sh
will be confined to her home TO
some days in consequence.

Hilo also has attractive seaside
summering places at 'Seaconnet"
and "Kainihi," where there is boat
ing, bathing, fishing and glorious
views of old snow covered Mama
Kea and Mauna Loa.
A mile and half from Hilo, above
the Wainaku mill, there is to be
found, in a green, fern-clad valley
with a sparkling stream and dash
ing waterfall, complete Japanese
village, with matched roofs and BAN
boo walls for its houses.
Few strangers know of it's exis-
tence, but it is, to my eye, the most
picturesque and unique cluster of
dwellings in the Hawaiian isles.
Many of the doors of the cottages
are shaded by luxuriant banana trees,
bearing punches weighing from sixty
to seventy pounds. The hamlet is
swarming with rosy babes and
smiling yonng mothers. All look
healthy, contented and happy.
Mr.. Furneaux has some very arts
tic photographs of this Arcadian vii
lage, as we'll as other scenes in the
environs of Rilo.
If Uncle Sam should lay cable to
these islands it is to be hoped that
he will land it somewhere on Hawaii,
as we shonld then undoubtedly soon
have a cable connecting Hawaii.

When is Hilo to have that wharf
for which $4,000 was appropriated
by the last Legislature? and that
railroad toward Hamakua? which il
would have been wise to have begun
ten years ago.
am not partizan, for Hawaii is
not my home, but can heartily echo

Cocoanut Island; "What is the best
thing in Hilo? The people who live
in it." THos. l.. GULICK.

bright and CHEEKY exercises. The girls
all wore white, and the happy expressions
observed on the countenances of all
bespoke heartfelt interest in the success
of the celebration.
at the Tabernacle the programme was
especially interesting. 1t embraced
feats of legerdemain by Prof. Will

Cream aud other refreshments were
served in abundance to the children of the
various schools, and the indications are
the parade will eclipse all former attempts

FIVE THLFIS IN ONE SALOON.
A Hoboken Resort Which the Police
Would Do Well To Investigate.

A Hoboken Resort Which the Police
Would Do Well To Investigate.
In special session this morning. as
usual, Hoboken cases occupied great
deal of the Courts time.
One case developed the fact that there
is saloon kept by Louis Fricke at Ferry
street and Park avenue which the police
ought to investigate. Only last week.
several pickpockets and dissolate women
were before the Court testifving in regard
to the larceny of watch from young
man named Thomas Durham. There was
no conviction in this case and neither was
there any conviction obtained this
morning
William Jordan was arraGned, charged
with larceny. John Flanagan testified
that on the night of April % he was In
Fricke's saloon with five friends. There
were several suspicious looking charac-
ters in the place, and Flanagan missed
his watch. Flanagan did not see the
prisoner in the saloon. A few days later
Flanagan had conversation with the
defendant at the. County Jail, and the
defendant said that if Flanagan would
not make charge against him the watch
woud be returned
Nellie Jackson, alias Cosgrove was the
next witness called. Nellie had been
taken from the County Jail to testify in
the case. She is a good looking young
woman, but is thoroughly bad She
figured in the stealing of Durham's
watch. All that she knew was that she
met the prisoner on Ferry street outside
of Fricke's saloon. She asked him the
time, and be pnlled out silver watch
and showed it to her. He did not say
where he got 1t,
Detective Nelson testified that on the
night that Flanagan lost his watch there
were two watches stolen in Fricke's
saloon. Jordan, the prisoner, was in the
Recorders Court as witness when Nell
son was told that Jordan had Flanagan's
watch and Nelson placed him under ar
rest.
The prisoner took the stand in his own
behalf and denied having taken the
watch. When asked by the Court what
he meant by what he said to Flanagan in
the iall he replied that he thought his
friends could do more towards getting the
watch than the detectives. The prisoner
admitted having been arrested before for
an assault on Policeman McGinness.
The Court decided thst there was not
sufficient evidence to convict Jordon and
he was allowed to go free.
Fricke's saloon i'll Hoboken is low,
one-story frame structure and has several
cell like apartments, where dissolute
women congregate Mt night. 1t has

sort for tho most desperate characters of
both sexes.
The case against Edward Cannon, one
of the gang who infests Fricke'S saloon,
who was arrested charged with breaking
and entering was uolle prosqued by the
Prosecutor. The young criminals appear
to be able to cover up their tracks so clev-
erly that no evidence can be secured
against them.

HELD UP A MONUMENT.
Little Elizabeth Sparen Saved Her
Playmales, but Fared Badly
Herself.

Twelve-year-old Elizabeth Sparen Of
No. rs West Twenty-ffth street, Bay
onne. risked her life on Monday last, and
saved many children from being crushed
to death. She held up topping monu-
ment in the New York Bay Cemetery,
and now lies seriously wounded at her
home in Bayonne. Her left leg is badly
torn and bruised, and unless very great
care is taken of it she may never again be
able to roam about with her playmates
whose lives she saved.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
On Memorial Day Elizabeth. together r
with her companions, went to the cenle-
terry to see the veterans honor the dead
heros. Elizabeth and her friends stood
near a tall, obelisk-shaped monument.
Suddenly and without warning the
mon ument Degan to topple over. Eliza
beth as quick as n flash stretched out her
willing but weak arms in an attempt to
hold up the heavy piece Of marble, and
cried:-"Children, run for your lives or
you will be killedp'
The children rushed off screaming while
brave Elizabeth. unable to hold the obe-
lisk, fell beneath it.
There were not very many people in
the vicinity at the time, and the occur
renee created but little excitement. Eli2-
abeth lay unconscious for few moments
and as soon as she opened her eyes she de-
manded to be taken home. Although
she suffered intense pain she did
not even cry. DR.. Sexsmith
who was present, made hasty examin-
alton of her injuries and placed her in q
carriage and sent her home. The leg is
terribly crushed and the thigh is very
black and swollen, and the doctor is
afraid that blood poisoning may set in, or
that contraction of the sinews may
shorten the limb.
MAY SUE THE CEMETERY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sparen have been keep
ing the matter quiet. as they will, 1t is
said, sue the cemetery company for heavy
damages.
"The less publicity the better will like
it." said Mrs Sparen this morning.
The story was told yesterday by an eye
witnesses, however.
A reporter of The JERSEY CITY NEWS
called upon Elizabeth at her home in
Bayonne this morning. She said she was
suffering intense pain, but that she tried
to bear it as patiently IS possible.
'My poor mother frets SO much about
me-" said she, "that l try to bear the
pain. l am glad that the children es.
capped and hope that will soon be able to
again be with them"

FIGHTING FOR THEIR CRILDREN.
Bir. and Mrs Reddeh, of Asbury Park,
at Legal Loggerheads

bHr. ana MRS. heddeh, oil AsDury HArk,
at Legal Loggerheads.
The best part of this mornings pro-
ceedings in the Court of Chancery was
taken up with q fight between Mr.. and
Mrs. George w. Redden, of Asbury
Park, for possession of their two chill
dren, Jennie and Lille. bright eyed but
somewhat delicate, light haired girls of
ten and eleven years of age.
The children were brought into Court
on writ of habeas corpus issued a week
or so ago at the instance of the father
who was represented by David Harvey,
Jr., of Asbury Park. Mrs. Redden,
daughter of William Stout, we'll known
retired builder of that resort, came into
the court accompanied by her mother and
Counsellor James S. Wight of Perth AM
boy, and under recent statute passed by
the Legislature asked to be heard.
Her claim was that the father was not
proper person to whom the custody of
the children should be allowed. Redden
originally came from Pocomoke City,
Maryland. He married Miss Stout in
1879. He was in business for awhile as
partner of the elder Stout. Later on he
failed in the building business as part
ner In the firm of Redden & Applegate.
Mrs. Redden is a tall, willowy brunette,
with classically chiselled features. 1t ap-
pears from the testimony this morning
that she was separated from her husband
last August. she left MIN and took her
two children with her. The husband
subsequently, kidnapped the children and
took them to the home of his father ut
Pocomoke City, Maryland. The mother
accompanied by detective. sought out
and visited the children, and under aruse
that their grandfather was lying at the
point of death and wished to see them
persuaded them to return to Asbury Park.
The father subsequently traced his chill
dren to school at Perth Amboy, whittier
the mother had placed them in charge of
Il Miss Manning. Three of the children's
aunts are alleged to livein the same block
or in the near vicinity of the school. The
husband alleges that the children under
their present charge have been known to
have been infested with vermin.
Chancellor McGili decided that the
children should be left under their pres
ent ch arge, but said If the father would
provide a suitable home for them he
might give the matter further considera-
tien,
