How often it has been said by
the crOakers that there is no
business, everything is dead,
times are hard, and everything
is going to the bad here in
Honolulu, but the Cali
fornia Feed Co. are not built
that way; we say business is
good and getting better every
month. And to prove what we
say we have had to take larger
and more commodious ware
houses. We have just COM
pleted arrangements with Mr..
j. f. Colburn, whereby he
gives up his old stand, corner
Queen and Nuuanu streets.
We take possession on NOvem-
Der 18th. Our old place at Leleo
is too small for Our fast increas-
ing business, hence the change.
We expect the Hawaiian
bark Mauna Ala to arrive
here again in a few days
with her fourth full cargo
of hay and grain bought
by our Mr.. ]. n. Wright who
will arrive on the bark. We
prefer to select our merchan-
disc ourselves rather than have
others do it, which means
that we get better goods at a
less price.
We thank our many friends
for their liberal patronage for
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to q bust
ness we thoroughly understand
to merit the patronage of as
many more.
We intend to keep a large,
we'll selected stock of the
very best hay and grain to be
had in the California market,
and we are going to sell it.

FouIIY Murdered.


FoulIv Murdered.
Carter II. Harrison, the mayor OF
Chicago, was fOully murdered in that
city by an assassiu on October 2sth at
7:30 O'clock. a man unknown 10 the
Harrison household rang the door
bell and asked to see the mayor. The
servant girl, not liking the mans APP
pearance, hesitated TO admit him, but
he pushed her to one side and walked
into the hall. The mayor heard him
and, coming to the door of his dining
room, where he had been sleeping, he
asked the visitor what he wanted.
The villain did not return word in
answer TO Mr.. Harrison's remark, but
Immediately drew a pistol and shot
at him. The shot took effect in the
breast and the mayor staggered back
ward fatally wounded. Not satisfied
with his fiendish work the assassin
fired again, the ball striking the
dying mayor in the stomach.
Mr.. Harrison had been trying ever
since the first shot was fired to get
out of the murderer's way. He now
staggered back into the dining room,
but his murderous assailant followed.
Again he raised his pistol TO fire, and
the dying man grasped the barre.
The trigger was pulled and another
bullet ploughed its way through the
wounded mans hand.
Mr.. Harrison's coachman, Robert
Parth, ran in as soon as the shots were
heard, and the desperate murderer
took flying shot at him but missed.
He then ran out of the house. Parth
as soon as he could obtain q revolver
gave him chase.
The murderer went to police sta
ton and gave himself up giving his
name as Patrick Eugene Prendergast.
His reason for killing Harrison was
as he alleges, that he had been de-
ceived by the mayor who refused to
give him a good office. The fellow is
worthless cur, a regular hoodlum
and only twenty-five years old. He
barely escaped Iynching. In his
arraignment in court he pleaded not
guilty.
There was considerable talk of
lynch law holding sway, but better
thoughts prevailed.
Mr.. Harrison was buried on NOvem-
Der and the city turned out to do him
honor. He was shortly to have been
married to q Miss Howard of New
Orleans, and his fiancee is Frustrated
with the terrible shock of his awful
death.
The services of the closing day at

The Proposed Trans-Pacifc Line.
A dispatch from London says: The
scheme for through route from Eng
land to Australia, via Canada, is not
meeting with much support here, and
will probably be abandoned for the
present. The Canadian Pacific rail
road agents have not been able to ar
range with any company in England
to take UP the proposed line of steam
ers between Milford Haven and Que
bee. In a year the Canadian Pacific
managers themselves may try to carry
the matter through, but as it is mat
ter of notoriety that the issue of per
cent. preference stock by the COM
pany has not been freely subscribed,
it is felt that it would not be wise
now to make further issue for the
purpose of providing steamers.

Heretofore men politically prominent
among ourselves have not been ashamed
to suggest that the best policy for us was
the one that wrought most evil to other
countries, and have thus fed and stlmu-
