NEW OARS ARRIVE.
The Ohio River Company's Trains VIII Be
Materially Improved.

The Ohio River Company's Trains VIII Be
Materially Improved.
Upon several recent occasions the
REGISTER has called attention to the
new passenger coaches being built for
the Ohio River Railroad Company.
Monday night the cars, four in num-
Der, arrived from Wilmington, Del, in
charge of w. W. Wickham, and yester-
day they were visited by quite lot OF
people as they stood on the side track
north Of Eleventh street.
The coaches are very handsome ones,
built by Jackson 81 Sharp, OF Whining
ton, and combine all the latest ideas In
passenger car work. They are finished
entirely in Mexican mahogany, equip
ped with the latest and best heating
apparatus, have ladies' toilet room,
with washstand, etc, at one end OF the
car, and gentleman's room at the other,
and have closely connecting platforms,
automatic couplers, and all other late
accessories. The cars are not heated
from the locomotive, but have a Baker
heater at one end, hot water being
forced through coils Of pipe under each
seat.
The general furnishings and fittings
of the cars are the finest ever seen
about here, for anything outside OF an
occasional private car or late style
sleeper, and the passengers who hereaf-
ter patronize the Ohio river line will
find the passenger accommodations
equalled by few and excelled by none.
The cars were taken down to Par
kersburg yesterday afternoon, and will
remain there until the last of the week,
when they will go into service. one be-
ing attached to each through train be-
tween this city and Huntington.

THE OLD TALK REVIVED
About the Wheeling and Lake Erie Going
to Pltts6urg.


to Plttsburg.
There is d revival of the old talk
about the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad Company obtaining an en-
trance into Pittsburgh. Yesterdays
Pittsburgh Dispatch said
Frank r. Lawrence, OF New York,
President; A. G. Blair, General Mana
ger, and C. A. Wilson, Chief Engineer,
of the Wheeling and Lake Erie road,
were at the Anderson yesterday. They
left for Cleveland early in the afternoon
and could not be seen. From railroad
men il was learned that they came here
to see about an entrance for their line
into Pittsburg. The officials have long
had this bee in their bonnets, but just
how TO accomplish the feat has puzzled
them. At present they reach the city
by the packet lines on the river, but
navigation is little too slow and
unsatisfactory. 1t is said the Company
is determined to come TO Pittsburg,
even if new Inc from Wheeling will
have to be built Several routes have
been surveyed, but the hill on the
South Side is the stumbling block. The
chances are this obstruction will be
overcome by a tunnel.
1.-THE Wheeling and Lake Erie is a
thriving road, but would be greatly
benefited by reaching Pittsburg. 1t
would give shippers here another out
let to the lakes, and would re-establish
the Wells Fargo Express Company in
this territory. 1t will be remembered
that the Fargo people were shut out by
the Baltimore and Ohio leasing the
Pittsburg and Western. The Company
tried for time to maintain its Office by
using the river TO Wheeling and the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road from that
point, but the scheme was finally aban-
dnned ~

the attempted Jail delivery, in yester-
days REGISTER, with the liveliest inter-
est, and the matter will be up for con-
sideration at the next meeting OF the
Committee on Court House and Jail.
Several members of the Board yester-
day said some changes would have to
be made, and one member facetiously
said he would introduce resolution at
the proper time to place set of tools
in every cell, to keep prisoners from
breaking up their bGnks, ETC. 1t is
likely the big pipes in the corners Of
cell building will be boxed iu, and some
changes made in other particulars.

CHARLES T. WILDER.
Consul General Provisional Gov
eminent of the Hawaiian
Islands

The Provisional Government of
Hawaii is fortunate in having as
its representative at San Francisco
one of the brightest, brainest, and
most progressive of its younger
statesmen. Charles T. Wilder, the
present consul-general, is native
of Geneva, Kings county, Illinois,
born there in 1866. When a mere
child his father, VIM. C. Wilder,
took him to the islands, where he
received his earlier education.
Later, he went to Miami univer-
sity, Ohio, where he graduated in
1884. He then went to the North
western university, at Evanston,
Illinois. In 1885 Mr.. Wilder re-
turned to the islands, and immedi-
ately went into business with his
father, VIM. c. Wilder, president
of the Wilder Steamship Company,
president of the Kahului Railroad
Company, and of Wilder & Co.,
lumber and coal. He remained
there until 1898, in June of which
year he received from President
Cleveland his exequatur as consul
general of the Provisional govern
ment with full powers. Mr.. Wilder
is well fitted for his position, being
ambitious, and by his long resi-
dence in the islands, thoroughly
versed in their diplomatic lore.
The infusion of young blood into
the veins of the body polite is an
excellent augury of coming pros
perity to the islands.
The above extract is from the
Wave, published in San Francisco,
under date of August 26th. On
the front cover page of the same
issue appears splendid likeness
of Mr.. Wilder.

the line of natural history and
physical geography. DR.. Sharpe
was a member of the famous Peary
expedition in the Arctic regions.

INTEREST TO sPoRTsMEN.
Some of the, Shooting Rights and
Who Owns Them.

The season for shooting native
ducks opened on the first of this
month. Sportsmen in this city
have entered into the slaughter of
the feathered tribe with a ven
geance Hardly day passes with
out some parties being fitted out
for either a long or short vacation
shoot.
The following short history of
some of the shooting rights should
be of interest at this time;
About twelve miles from the city,
on the other side of the island, is the
Kawainui private right. There are
about $4,000 acres included in this
right. A large swampis on part of
the land, where, it is said, there are
a large number of duck to be found.
On the other parts of the right
there is said to be a plentiful sup
ply Of doves, plover and pheasants.
This shooting right is leased from
Mr.. J. P. Mendonca by Messrs.
Harry NJ. Whitney, Jr., S. G. Will
der, w. NJ. Giffard, h. and E.
Wodehouse, W. W. Dimond, T.
Lishman, Judge Whiting, E. w.
Jordan and C. B. Wilson.
Three miles east of the Hawai-
nui right is another large swamp,
in which there is pond known as
the Kaelepulu, which is leased by
Messrs. Alex. Cartwright, ]. NJ.
Dowsett and E. [ Spaulding.
Of the public rights there are the
Damon and Dowsett ranches, to-
ward Eva, being from three to
twenty miles in extent. Any one
can shoot on these ranches upon
the payment of a IS fee, pre-
vided, of course, that they
hold license. A number of
Japanese quails have been turned
loose on these premises, but they
are not allowed to be shot at the
present time. 1t is said that these
birds migrate in great numbers,
and in their flight are lost in the
sea.
Mr.. E. A. McInerny has pri-
vate right at Wahiawa, twenty-five
miles toward Waialua, which
abound in duck, pheasants, etc.
Leilehua ranch, twenty miles
coward Waialua, is another private
light, which is leased by Messrs.
Henry Davis, E. [. Spaulding and |
). G.. Wilder. 1t contains about |
$1,000 acres. Good shooting for
luck and pheasant are to be found
hereon.

Hawaiian superstitions.

1t is an old belief of native Ha-
waiians that the spirits OF their
warrior chiefs inhabit after death
the bodies of their favorite horses.
There is even now a fine white
stallion in Honolulu in which, it is
popularity believed, lives the spirit
of Boki, who led a rebellion in Ia
hiti some years ago. At various
times this horse, splendidly capari-
soned, is led riderless in state
through the principal streets Of
Honolulu.-New York World.

BIount and Hawaii.

All the indications are that Mr..
Blount's mission to Hawaii was
more friendly to the cause of
American domination than the
people had supposed. Mr.. Blount
himself says that on arrival he
found himself between two fires.
Whatever he might say would be
misconstrued, and he resolved
wisely to hold his peace. This he
has done successfully, but there
are numerous indications that his
report is not favorable to the roy
alists and is encouraging TO the
Provisional government.-Sacra-
mento Union.

A Wandering Youth.

Arthur l. Akau, a half-caste Chi
nese youth from Hilo, who for two
or more years attended the Royal
school, is now at Port Clarence,
Alaska. This youth arrived in
this city the early part of this year
from trip to Liverpool, England,
and left again last February for
San Francisco. From there he
took the schooner Rosario last
March for Port Clarence. He writes
that his ambition is to become an
officer, and he is risking his life to
attain that end. Akau's family
are all at Hilo, Hawaii.

DR.. HYDE at Rome.

A long letter from Rev. C. NJ.
Hyde appeared in yesterdays daily
Kuokoa. 1t was dated Rome, Aug
ust 7, 1898. DR.. Hyde describes
Rome and its numerous cathedrals,
including st. Peters, st. Paul, St.
Maria, etc. He did not state if he
had seen the Pope. Among the
curios he had seen in one of the
cathedrals were the skulls of ST..
Peter and st. Paul; the table at
which Christ sat at the 'Last Sup
per-" the collins of John the Bap-
fist and John the Evangelist, and
the chain with which st. Peter was
bound at Jerusalem. He added
that he had seen lowly Catholics
kissing the chain.

THE IA WAIIAN CONSPIR-
ACY.
The N. Y. Herald, Spreckels and
Nordhof False Prophets.


Minister Blount has returned
from Honolulu. He brings good
news from the Sandwich islands.
The Provisional government is
getting on comfortably, people are
contentedly paying their taxes and
all is quiet and peace. Mr.. Blount
says that he never saw more
peaceful people. Everybody sleeps
with open doors and windows, and
crime and violence are practically
unknown. He knew Of no society
to murder royalists and saw no
evidence of anything of the kind.
This is at variance with the
awful tales put into circulation by
Nordhoff and Spreckels. To judge
by the reports the islands were all
about ready to rise and restore the
yellow queen. Spreckels declared
a month ago that the Provisional
government was doomed. He pro-
nounced it bankrupt. Nordhoff
Endorsed all he said, and added 80
per cent. of woe and defamation.
AS a matter of fact an awful
amount of lying has been INDUCED
in by the enemies of free govern
ment in Hawaii. 1t has been sys-
tematic and persistent. The CON
spiracy to prevent Hawaii from
joining It's fortunes with the United
States has been shrewdly organ
lied and it has had the backing of
Spreckels, the millionaire sugar
king. The facts will all be under
stood in due time and some people
who have been fishing for praise
will be held up to public execra-
tion.-N. Y. Morn. Adv.
