again at Waikiki. The premises OPP
posite the Waikiki railroad depot
formerly occupied by the Waikiki
saloon. and the property of Mrs.
Bachelor of Honolulu, as also several
cottages adjoining, were burnt to the
ground last evening. AS the fire
started in the main building, which is
is that it is case of incendiarism, and
suspicion is directed towards certain
parties who had been occupying some
of the adjoining cottages without per
mission of Mrs. Bachelor, the owner
who was then taking legal steps tc
have said parties elected. The Kahu
lui Railroad Companys depot narrowly
escaped destruction, the roof of said
building getting atire from flying
sparks, and only prompt action saved
that property from being burnt tc
ashes. Fires have been of frequent oc
currence in this district dur
ing the last year ana nave
in most every case resulted
in the total destruction of the burning
property, showing the dire need of {
fire department in Wailuku. There il
constantly as much need tor such here
as there Is in Hilo, and with the assist
. ance of the Government in the shape o
} an engine and apparatus fair fire de
partment might be formed from volun
, teers. The destroyed property is said t.
, be partly covered by insurance.
