ously injuring two men and cutting
and bruising almost every one of the
10 people in the offices.
The dangerously hurt are:
II. II. Handy, president of the Handy
Abstract Co
G. o. Fostrick.
II was not thought that either Han
dy's or Fostrick's injuries would
prove fatal, although both suffered Sc
yerely from loss of blood.
The accident occurred just before
noon. when every desk in the abstract
office was occupied and while large
number Of attorneys and clients We're
transacting business there. The big
skylight. covering a large portion of
the building. was protected by a strong
and heavy steel netting. and that alone
prevented the heavy Smoke-stack from
going through the roof. Had IL done
SO. large loss Of life would have re
suited. rs - or 30 clerks Were punched
close together below where 1t struck.
Ex-U United States District Attorney
Milchrist narrowly escaped death. A
large piece Of glass struck him on the
shoulder, cutting through his clothes
and leaving a long. ugly cash. As II
stuck he leaped TO one side just as
piece of the skylight. three feet square,
crashed down edgewise on the spot
where he had stood.
H. II. Handy, the millionaire presi-
dent of the company, was cut in a
dozen places. A large fragment of
glass grazed his head. tearing large
wound in the side OF his face. both
arms and hands were cut. and his
right shoulder was cut to the bone.
The noise of the crashing glass and
the cries of the alarmed clerks caused
a small panic in the building. the ten
ants jamming the corridors and stair
ways in their rush for the street Sew
eral young women clerks and stenog-
raphars tainted and Were painfully
crushed in the crowd. but none We're
dangerously hurt. A score of physi-

and carriages and ambulances We're
called out to carry away the injured
1t was rumored that portion of the
building had collapsed. but examlna-
ton showed that the building was un-
injured aside from the breaking of the
skylight.
A portion of the falling smoke-stack
struck the roof Of the restaurant or

THE COLONEL IS NOW IN HOOK,
Mr. Brannan in Jail for Beating an
Eastern Hotelman.
He Had Charge of n Battery on Punch
bowl, in His Mind--says He il
an Hawaiian Commissioner.

Many people will remember
Colonel J. F. Brannan, who worked
here some years ago as stable
man. He is now in jail in Har-
risburg, Pa, on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
1t is alleged that after securing
five days board and $50 in coin,
he passed bogus check for 800
on the hotelman. Brannan had
nothing to say in defense, and was
held in $500 bail.
Brannan was well-known
character here. He often drank to
excess and was finally assisted by
members of the local Grand Army
post, to get out of the country. He
was not a Grand Army man, al
though he went through the war,
and was retired with the rank of
colonel. His excellent war record
gained him friends in the ranks of
veterans, but he always proved
himself both unworthy and I'M
grateful. In his travels he usually
represented himself as a member
of George belong Post of Homo
lulu, and by doing so succeeded in
securing sums of money from G.
A. r. men. The commander of
the Post in the city recently re-
ceived letter from Omaha, in
which it was stated that Brannan
had for applied and was granted
money on the strength of a misre-
presentation. At the time the
money was given him he was trav-
cling with a contingent Of the
Coxey army.
Notwithstanding that Brannan
has been away from Honolulu for
about six years he is credited with
saying: "He had charge Of the
battery on Punchbowl Hill, over
looking the palace and the harbor,
and took a prominent part in the
exciting events connected with the
fall of the monarchy and the estab-
fishing of the Republic"
This will be news to most people
as it is the first mention of a bat
terry located on Punchbowl. Then
again he says: 81 am averse to
telling all 1 could, because 1 don't
want certain friends to know about
this trouble. [ recently came to
this country from Honolulu, with
three other men to attend to a pri-
vate matter at Washington, D. c."
The private matter referred to is
a statement to the effect that he
was a member of a commission,
appointed by President Dole to go
to the United States to protest to
the Government at Washington
against the granting of a pension
to the ex-queen. Brannan's story
is pure fabrication.

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD, Nov. %, 10 PM.
Weather, hazy; wind, calm.
The Claudine brought 240 bags of
sugar for this port.
The AIikahala arrived yesterday
with 3240 bags Of sugar. Her cargo
will be transferred to the bark Albert
today.
The steamers leaving today are
the he Au Hou for circuit of the
island and the Waialeale for
Lahaina and Honokaa at noon.
The steamer Waimanalo arrived
on Saturday from the Wilcox wreck
without a cargo. Rough weather in
terfered with the work OF the wreck
ing crew.
The bark Highland Light, Cap
tain Hughes, arrived on Saturday,
27k days from Departure Bay. She
brought about 2000 tons of coal for
the United States Government.
The c. 4. S. S. Miowera. Captsin
Stott, arrived en- Saturday morning,
eight days from Vancouver Owing
TO the crowded condition OF the Mail
wharf she was locked at the Oceanic
wharf to discharge her freight She
brought nine cabin and thirty seven
steerage passengers for this port.
The vessel resumed her voyage about
$50 o'clock on Saturday evening.
The steamer Daisy Kimball, arriv-
ed from Hilo on Saturday morning.
This vessel, it will be remembered.
was purchased in San Francisco by
Captain Matson for use along the
coast of Hawaii. In all probability she
will be turned over to the Wilder's
SIS. Company, and given a place in
the regular line while the steamer
Hawaii will do the coasting as here
tofore. The Kimball is a schooner
rig, and is similar in size 10 the
Hawaii, although she stands much
higher out of water. Her tonnage is
2O2.91 and it is figured that she viii
carry about $500 bags of sugar.

CARRIED ELEVEN ST0WAWAYS.
Seven Men Are Now in Jail Await
ing the WarrimOo.

The steamers Of the Canadian
line are well liked by stowaways,
and there is scarcely one arriving
fromsV ancouver that does not have
several of this undesirable gentry.
The officers of the vessel are always
at a loss to know just how the men
get on board, out the fact remains
that they do get there. Further,
they manage to secret themselves
until the vessel is well out to sea.
The Miowera arrived on Satur-
day morning with eleven men on
board who did not think it was
necessary to purchase tickets. Four
of them were carried through. The
others were taken to the police
station, where they will remain I'M
til the arrival Of the Warrimoo, due
here on December I'd. Then they
will be sent back to Victoria.
The names of the seven men
now locked up are: James Car
ney, James Marston, Henry Tay-
lor. John McLane, Charles Lewis,
John Smith and Charles Reynolds.
They are all young men. They
claim that they were ill-treated on
the way down by the first officer of
the steamer, who confined them in
a coal bunker. According to their
story they were kept in the bunker
for seven days, and were fed on
bread and water, with an occasion
al dish of meat. For the first
twenty-four hours, however, they
had nothing to eat. They offered
to work in the freroom, so they
say, but their services were de-
clined. They do not look ENACT
ated after their alleged illtreatment.
