QUEBEC, April 30-Friday night. about
s 80 O'clock, the Inhabitants of the quiet
village of ST. Albans. situated As miles
from here and 4 miles from LachreVetierre,
in the county of Port Nouff, heard ter
rible noise, resent bling the roll of thunder
in the distance. Near the parish church
is a curve in the river st. Ann which
makes a waterfall. The ground which
stays the formation on the right side gave
away and the earth and rocks filed deep

The sides of the river. which are COM
posed of clay, and $50 feet high, caved in.
blocking up the natural channel Of the
river for distance of five miles and to the
depth of seventeen feet. making the water
rise hundred feet above the earth walls
that were supposed to hold it back. The
walls were not strong enough to keep in
check the fury of the stream and with a
terrible roar and rush the water came
down upon the unprotected village, car
rying away the bridge.
At 10 P. NJ. the water rose at st. Casimir
and carried away another bridge at St.
Ann. At IL O'Clock il carried away two
pieces of the bridge and all the lumber
booms. The house of Farmer Cauthier at
st. Albans is completely buried and four
unfortunate people who occupied it are
supposed to be crushed. At the place
where the house was smOthered smoke can
be seen and it is feared the house caught
fire. which means sure death to the in
mates that are known to have been within.
The accident has been especially severe
on dumb animals. Hundreds of cattle,
horses, sheep and pigs have perished. and
in the wreck that floats past the poor
brutes can be seen struggling and making
efforts to reach the shores, which their ex-
haustion renders abortive.
River NOire, the exact place of the acci-
dent, is not anywhere near a telegraph sta
tiou and no information as to the NUN ber
and names of the dead can be had with
certainty. The people of all the surround
ing districts are panic-strickeD, and on ac-
count of the altered condition of the coun-
try it is very difficult to reach the scene
and return. The piece of land which slid
nto the river is about mile long and
four miles wide. The latest information
received is 10 the effect that $500, 900 worth
of property has been destroyed and twelve
people have been killed.

Young wild bears are far pretter than
might be expected from the rather forbid
ding appearance of their parents. Their
bodies are slim and elegant, their shouts
fine, their ears short and their legs and
feet almost as finely shaped as those of II
young antelope. Their color is n bright
fawn or n rich tan, with longitudinal
stripes like those on n tabby kitten, and in
place of the thick bristles of the older pigs
their bodies are covered with long and
thick coat of rough hair. Family life in
the wild boars' quarters is harmonious
and amusing. For the first month the lit
tie orange striped pigs depend on their
mother for food and take no notice either
of visitors or each other.
Each roams about by itself in the most
independent fashion or drops down to
sleep on its stomach, with its legs stretched
straight out before and behind, like a
kneeling elephant in miniature. Later,
when they have to be satisfied with the
food provided in the troughs, they become
the most amusing and importunate beg
gars in the Zoo, the old SOW and boar set
ting the example, well supported by the
little pigs. The whole family stand up
right on their hind legs in a row, like her
aldic pigs supporting n coat of arms, with
their fore feet against the rails, and
squeak, grunt and even climb the wire
netting for contributions.-Lo Spec
tator.

CULLINGS FROM COURT.
A VERY QUIET DAY IN THE
HALLS OF JUSTICE.
VIII of Kekaula Submitted to Probate
Hackfeld's Equity Suit Again
in Court.

The will OF the late James X. Ke-
kaula, now twice deferred was taken
up before Judge Cooper this morning.
The Court admits the will to probate,
letters OF administration with the will
annexed, to issue a joint bond of $4,000.
The petition for probate is in the
hand OF John X. Kekaula Jr,, to
which is an amended petition to the
end that Wailuu Kekaula, widow OF
deceased, be appointed jointly with him
10 administer. This was granted by
the Court.
The estate is as follows: Several
lands in Kau, Hawaii, valued at $1,000:
horses, cattle, oxen, carts, household
furniture and cash valued at $4,000.
The equity suit of II. Hackfeld & Co.
VS.. c, Brewer & Co., w. G. Irwin g. Co.,
Castle & Cooke, ct al. is being heard by
Judge Cooper this afternoon.
This familiar case began December
20, 1898. The original complaint sets
forth that defendants, in 1889, entered
into joint contract with plaintiff to
import Portuguese from the island of
Madeira and neighborhood for work
upon the plantations owned or under
the supervision of II several parties to
the contract. The complainant firm
say that they made large out
lays in said undertaking, and
that $1,751. &c. with interest, should be
returned to them by the several de-
PENDANTS. 1t seems, however, that the
plan to import the laborers failed, and
defendants claim release from the con-
act, or from the claim, upon that
ground, Dispositions in the case were
taken last March and the bill for an ac-
counting was deferred to July 18th.
To days hearing was before JUDI e
Cooper.
Mr.. Hatch, attorney for the plaintiffs,
called j, F, Hackfeld as witness, and
offered former exhibits and dispositions
in evidence. Mr.. Neumann, attorney
for defendant firms, read answer to
complaint and also noted exception to
introduction of Elk. "B," that being the
agreement between the parti $. The
case was then continued to july 24th.

A Word to Young Men.

One of the meanest things young man
can do is to monopolize the time and at
tention of young girl for year or more
without any definite object and TO the ex-
clusion Of other gentlemen, who, suppo,-
ing him TO have matrimonial intentions,
absent themselves from her society. This
selfish, "dog in the manger" way of pro
ceeding should be discountenanced and
forbidden by all parents and guardians
1t prevents the reception of eligible of
fers of marriage and fastens upon the
young lady, when the acquaintance is
finally dissolved, the unenviable and un-
merited appellation of "flirt."
Let all your dealings with women,
young man, be frank, honest and noble
That many whose education and position
in life would warrant our looking for bet
ter things are culpably criminal on these
points is no excuse for your shortcomings
That woman is often injured or wronged

that end. About that time he visited his
Virginia home and entered heartily into a
project to colonize central Kentucky. A
tract of land 100 miles square in the val

ers was purchased of the Cherokees. Boone
was chosen as leader to survey the tract
and locate the emigrants on the vast do

to take up the role of an organizer. His
zeal for peOpling the land did not consume
his native shrewdness, and the first work

teeth followed him across the mountains

fear it will clash with the Republic,
if the Governments present line OF
policy is not changed
The editor, who has not been
true to either party or princip for
any length of time since hope of
restoration vanished with the Sen
ate resolution, declares he does not
wish to clash with the Govern
ment. When the moment arrives
that such political turncoats fail to
clash with decent, respectable,
ordinary, everyday good govern
ment, the matter will deserve at
tention; but just SO long as the
men represented by the editorial
chair mentioned find occasion to
clash with the men and political
principles back of the Republic, the
Government receives a compliment
of much more worth than the
offered support of the class of men
who upheld the disgraceful and
rotten monarchy could ever bring
with it.
1t is with much confidence i'll it's
soundness that we advise these
turncoat Royalists not to avoid any
further clash with the Republic; it
will do the new Government good
politically, will have a tendency to
raise the clashers from their present
repose i'll the political gutter, if
they will only consent to clash
under the garb of gentlemen, and
will further aid in exposing the de
ceitful and selfish methods of their
past leadership to the natives, who
have lately taken on the political
habit of keeping their eyes very
wide open and their mouths very
close shut when dealing with Roy
alist haoles.
Clash, good fellows, by all
means; clash soon and clash often
it will help the tone of politics and
every clash will endear the Repub-
lie to the intelligent and respectable
citizens of Hawaii.
One word more: Please don't
threaten hereafter that any of the
supporters Of monarchy, or those
native Hawaiians under the con-
troll of foreign turncoats, will either
fight or die for any of the alleged
rights existing under the mon
archy and the reign of Doodle.
Such a course, in the light of
events since January, 1898, makes
you ridiculous and the friends of
annexation and the Republic very,
very tired.

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.


The American League held an
important meeting last night and
its action, published elsewhere, is
almost certain to have considerable
political effect in the community.
Since the establishment of the
Provisional Government the league
has stood firm and true to republic
can principles in spite of royalist
prophecies and the various insidi-
ious overtures for political COM
pacts, coming from royalists and
other anti-republican quarters, in
hope of overturning the new order,
even if a return to monarchy could
not be accomplished. The political
power and physical and moral
force of the League were by such
proposals admitted to be necessary
to a successful political movement
of the nature contemplated by the
opponents of Republicanism, but
never carried out for lack of repu-
table following.
Had the League been built that
way it could have undoubtedly de
feated the cause of the Republic
and annexation; but happily for
Hawaii it was composed of men
who have honored both themselves
and their country by the
honest and uncompromising stand
they have taken as Americans.
Their action of last night in re-
naming true to the political prin-
ciple which brought them as a
League into existence was exactly
what was anticipated. At the
same time their action is a singing
rebuke to the street politicians, the
royalist boodlers and the factional
turncoats, who are turning from
pole to pole hoping for favorable
political wind to veer their heads
spoilsward.
The only Peoples party in
Hawaii at present is the American
Union party, which has been the
political instrument and moral
force that has established stable
government on the ruins of the
self wrecked monarchy. In this
party, which has both a career and
a principle behind it, the American
League has been a prominent and
an honest political factor. 1t is
such to-day and such it will re-
main.
The statement issued by the
League elsewhere for the purpose
of dispelling alleged doubts seems
to be almost if not entirely unneces-
sary, as far as the large majority
of the supporters of the Republic
are concerned; still its statements
made will be read with interest
and profit by all who endorse and
wish to see republican government
continued and expanded in Hawaii.
If there are any connected with
the League or elsewhere who need
to be stimulated to their political
duty, after the experiences Of the
last few years which ended in the
downfall of the monarchy, they
would hardly be worth retaining to
the support of the Republic and the
cause of annexation. The Ameri-
can Union Party represents the
people who compose the element OF
political progress in the Islands
and as such, with the support of
such men as make up the
American League, it will carry the
country forward until the present
step in political and national evolu-
ton is completed.
