APeculiarIy Serious Accident.

Hi" johnson, the well known brake
man on the main line west of Rock ISL
and, met with serious accident on Mor-
day. that it is feared will prove fatal.
He was on No. going west, which was
bang closely followed by freight en-
CINE and caboose. When near West Lib
erty his engineer whistled for brakes,
and he stepped out on the rear platform.
AS he did so the flash of the headlight
on the engine which was following very
closely, met his gazs, and thinking that
it was almost on them he jumped
from the train. going down through q
high bridge, cutting and bruising him
badly, besides iniuring him internally.
He was pi, ked up and taken into West
Liberty, where he is said to be lying in q
precarious condition. johnson made his
home in this city, and has many friends,
who will be panied to learG of his mis-
fortune.

The Tri- City Columbian enterprise,
the preliminary steps 10 oking to which
were taken last night in this city, al
though entirely different in nature and
plrpose from the Twiu-City Columbian

though not directly designed to do so. In
fact the very move should stimulate and
encourage the original undertaking. II
by the united effort of the cities of Rock

city can present no better and more prof

Seeking to Have the Council Take Steps to
Enlarge the Filter.

| Seeking to Have the Council Take Steps t.
Enlarge the Filter.
At Monday nights meeting of the
council letter was submitted by Aid.
w. f. Schroeder. addressed to him by
o. II. jewell of the Jewell Filter com
psny, setting forth that the filter plant
he had put in in accordance with his
contract with Congressman Ben T.
Cable was too small. aud feeling conf
| dent that Mr. Cable will not enlarge the
same, he writes to ask if the city council
will take steps in the matter. He also
says the city should have at least four
more filters, and then he proceeds to seek
the councils favor, to the end
that the city may entrust 10
to him more work. Feeling confident, 4"
he says. that Mr.. Cable will not
enlarge same. we write to ask If your
city will take steps in the matter"
Not a Manly Attitude
In assuming this position. Mr.
Jewell shows anything but a
manly disposition toward Mr.. Cable
whom he knows full well has COM
piled with every suggestion he has made
concerning the filter, supDlementing the
original plant which Mr.. Jewell guaran-
teed for all practical purposes, when it
was found that by reason of the increas-
ed consumption caused by the street car
power station, snd other demands for
water not anticipated, it was made
| quate. Although the original gift on
the part of Mr.. Cable to the city involv-
ed large outlay of money and MIR
| Jewell positively guaranteed that the
filter would give satisfaction, wnen it
failed to do so Mr.. Cable considered the
Increased consumption of water and
authorized the Jewell company %
enlarge it to capacity that would meet
all requirements, and this was done, Mr.
Cabe being again assured that this time
the fltering plant wopld do its work
faultlessly. Either it has failed again, OF
the Jewell company is seeking to ace
how much money it can get out CT It's
plant here. Small wonder under the cir.
cumstances that Mr.. Jewell should fee
confident that MIR. Cable will DE-
40 more. His attempt to thu,
induce the council TO take hold of the
matter by making intimstions concerning
Nr. Gable is ne ther kindness to Mr. Ca,
BILE nor fairness to the council. and thu
ARGUS is satisfied that not only in JUS
tice to Mr.. Cable, whose liberslity aud
public spirit all appreciate. but il
justice to the city no steps will b.
taken in the matter without consulting
M. Gable, and until the proper pro of i

their positions after they had utterly
disgraced their badges. They we're
certainly not discharged openly for
the vile offense of which their super
iors were made cognizant in the Dis
trict Court. 1t is astonishing that
in that Court the officers were not
summarily dismissed and their vic
tins, instead of having to appeal to
a higher court, discharged, There
has never been period when police
station affairs were more odorous
with scandal and crime than during
the rule of the Provisional Govern
ment. And, judging by the fact
that the Attorney-General has al
ready been granted $4,000 above
the appropriation of the Legislature,
for "incidentals and civil and crimi-
nal expenses" this is proving a most
expensive regime also to the tax
payers. 1t is no wonder if Marshal
Hitchcock has grown sick and tired
of the whole establishment.

HE GOT MANY MEALS.
How a Jailbird Worked Annexation
for His Stomach.

The presence of Puahala, an old
jailbird in a prisoners garb, as gen.
eral workman in the vacant lot below
the Post Office, recalls a story Of
how he worked a game on the annex
ationists when he was a free man.
Puahala was convicted of extortion
and sentenced to imprisonment. He
served his sentence and early one
Monday morning was set at liberty.
He made straight for the Annexation
Club quarters and signed the roll.
Donning the ribbon he marched
down Fort street. He had come out
of prison and his craftiness con-
ceived an idea for getting a meal.
Puahala stopped a gentleman (white)
and pointing to the ribbon asked
him if he was an annexationist. Re-
ceiving an answer in the affirmative
Puahala asked for half dollar,
which was handed him. He per-
formed this twice that day, and con-
tinued it during the week, raking in
enough, through the magic power
of the badge, to live right royalty.
Finally he ran across snag-a man
who knew the convict's record gen
tly told him that if he didn't stop
his practice, he would be handed
over to the police. Puahala walked
around the corner and unpinning
| the annexation ribbon threw it away
with a grunt of disgust. Shortly
after he was arrested and is serving
another sentence.

GREAT FALL IN GLASS.
Largest Window Pane Ever Import
ed Here Collapses.

The monster plate glass for the
front window of the Safe Deposit
building was landed safely from the
barkentine Hilo and stored until this
morning, when gang of workmen
under supervision of j. w. Gibbs,
painter, carried it upright along
Fort street to the building. They
carried the precious article carefully
and safely into the building, but as
they were laying it flat, previous to
raising it into position, the plate
broke in the middle. At the same
time the men let go both ends and
the glass went crash on the floor,
breaking into a thousand pieces.
The noise made by the fall sounded
like the report of cannon, and the
storekeepers in the vicinity ran out
to see what the matter was. The
accident is attributed to the absence
of men, who should have been sup
porting the glass in the middle, as
the plate was thin. 1t was the
largest sheet OF plate glass ever i'm
ported here, it's dimensions having
been lift. 34in.x7ft. 94in. and a
quarter of an inch in thickness. 1t
was valued at $3.50.

SCANDAL IN THE STATION.

Notwithstanding the furious out
cry for having the police depart
ment "cleaned out" when Marshal
Wilson was in office, it appears that
about all the officers of proved inte-
gritty and efficiency now on the force
are remanents of Wilson's regime.
At the opening of the Circuit Court
term, it will be remembered, Mr..
Peterson, counsel for two young
Hawaiian women charged with keep
ing disorderly house, objected to
accepting nolle prosequi on behalf
of his clients. He wanted to have
the doings Of the police in effecting
the arrest OF the women exposed in
open court. However, he relented
on learning the Courts disinclina-
tion TO have the unsayory case tried,
and on hearing from the Attorney
General in court that the officers
implicated in the scandal had been
discharged. Thus the public expo
sure of one Of the most disreputable
episodes in the annals Of the police
force was avoided Although the
officers had been discharged, though
it was not on account Of their dis
graceful conduct on the occasion in
question. One was allowed to retire
ia peace through resignation, giving
as his reason for leaving the want OF
harmony in the force, The other
was, as he said himself, only "sus.
pended" pending investigation Of a
serious charge preferred against hin
by japanese The fact remains
that these men, the first choice OF
tbs new regime, were retained in

Before discussing the Japanese re-

What the Star wants, it now ap-
pears, is grand jury on "a new
plan" 1t is impossible, therefore,
for us to continue the discussion un-
til at least the outlines of the new
plan are divulged. There does not
seem, however, to be surplus of
material available now for petit
juries, since the panel has been con-
siderably enlarged without reduc-
ton in the exempt list. With the
Star advocating a grand jury, and
the Advertiser the abolition of trial
by jury, the public will be apt to
have its faith shaken in the inspira.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.

Clement Scott, a special writer
and musical critic for the Illustrated
London News, gives a humorous
"Reminiscences of the late U. S. S.
Boston's revolution here, in an arti-,
Gle republished in this issue. His;
reference to our band, using it to
illustrate his plea for music in tho
London parks, will remind our read
ers of the fact that Emusic for the
masses" was one Of the many benign
features Of the monarchy here.
There is no saying how much of its
peace-loving and peace-observing
character this much mixed commu-
nifty owes to the influence Of the
regular band concerts in the public
squares. That character has proved
superior to revolutions and plots
without number in the past ten
years, and who can say that this is
not largely due to the sympathy
created between the varied classes
and nationalities by habitual elbow
ing of each other at band concertsl
, If Cooper and his crowd had abol-
ished the band with other appur-
tenances of the monarchy, the EN-,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Senate, it is safe
to say, would not be astonishing the
world with it's marvellous law-mak
ing to-day. And if Bandmastei
Berger had been seated on the
throne instead of Judge Dole, Min
ister Blount might have been able
to report a happy commonwealth
wanting neither annexation mol
restoration!

Another Hatfooted violation of the
Constitution, where it is not in con-
fict with the Proclamation, has
been committed by the Government
in the appointment of Mr.. j. H.
Waipuilani as a District Magistrate.
Having been member Of the last
Legislature, he was constitutionally
ineligible for any public office out
side of the Cabinet. 1t makes the
matter worse that the appointment
has been made clearly as reward
for political services in voting out
Ministry after Ministry until one OF
the "family compact" could be in
stalled. All principle seems to have
been flung to the winds by our pre-
sent rulers.
