A Sailor Dies in the Harbor.

Yesterday morning the crew of the
schooner Odell, which is lying at this
port, on her way to Boston with hay,
found one of their number lying dead
on the deck. The name of the dead sailor
was Charles Smith. He was sixty years
old, .and belonged in Winterport. He
has sailed on the Odell three years.
Smith had beenssick for some time with
asthma. During the night he got up,
partially dressed and went on deck He
was not missed. and it was not until
the crew arose in the morning that he
was found lying dead on the deck.
Coroner Perry was called and decided
that death resulted from apoplexy, and
that no inquest would be needed. The
body was taken to Rich's establishment.

The Proposed Masonic and Odd Fellows
Temple.

The Proposed Masonic and Odd Fellows
Temple. p
Some time ago the PRESS copied from
the Odd Fellows Journal an article sug-
costing the union of the Masons and Odd
Fellows in plan for the erection of a
building to be used as Masonic temple.
Odd Fellows hall and grand opera house,
for the benefit of all interested. This
scheme has caused much talk among the
members of the orders named and last
week committee, composed of the hall
agents of the various Odd Fellow bodies
of the city. was appointed to confer with
the Masonic trustees in regard to the
matter.
The Odd Fellow committee addressed
very polite note to the Masonic trus..
tees. asking conference for the purpose
of considering the matter. The trustees
held meeting on the 9th inst, but we
do not understand that reply has yet
been received by the committee from the
Odd Fellows. Probably the communities

tits possible that the Odd Fellows
may not care to leave harrington block
when their lease expires, and it is also
possible that the Masons are perfectly
satisfied with their present handsome

1t is reported that Miss Clapp, who
owns the Clapp estate at the corner OF
Congress and Elm streets, has said that
she would sell the property at a much
less figure if handsome Masonic temple
was erected on it.

LARGE SUIT SETTLED.
Grand Trunk win Pay $500 for Injuries
Suffered by Henry F. Noyes Ten Years

Suffered by Henry F. Noyes Ten Years
Ago.
Word comes from Boston that settle
ment is now being made of the import
ant and we'll known caseaof A. ). Twltcn-
ell, administrator, VS.. Grand Trunk Rail-
way. General Twitohell is administrator
of the estate of the late Henry +. Noyes'
of South Paris, a former conductor on
the Grand Trunk railroad. About ten
wears ago Noyes was injured in the
North Stratford accident on the Grano
Trunk. This was one of the most pecu-
liar as. well as most serious that ever
happened on this division of the Grano
Trunk. In some way freight car ran
off a side track on to the main line at
North Stratford. The freight traln'
under charge of Conductor Noyes,
came along, and smashed into II. Inc
engine was thrown of the track into the
bed of a brook, the engineer and nreman
were killed and Conductor Noyes was
injured. About. two years later Noyes
died. His administration brought suit
for $40, 600 against the railroad. claiming
that his death was FASTENED by the
accident, and that this accident was
due to carelessness on the part OF the
company. The railroad denied both
claims.
Suit was first begun IN the otate
courts. but was at once transferred 10
the United States District Court. Inc
first trial resulted in a verdict OF s44oo
against the road. The counsel for the
road, appealed and the verdict was set
aside. Then the case was tried again in
1891. and a verdict of SO, 1875 was given
against the road. Then the Grand Trunk
counsel discovered an error in the origl-
nal transfer from the State to United
States Courts, and the case was remand
ed back to the court in which 1t was
last tried.
So the matter dragged on until the
present time, when compromise is De-
ing arranged, by which the road IS TO
nav $500. 1t is bought that this amount
will hardly pay the expenses of the long
litigation. Many lawyers like Judge
Aldrich, Bighay, Frick andTwitchell OF
New Hampshire have appeared on ene
one side. while A. Strout, ESQ.,, has
figured on the other.

Electric Lights for q Cts, a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause CT its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost of reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. a third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on basis of rates,
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost OF
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per Is c. p. light per
month S1.O0
Residences per Is c. p. light per

consumers. We place lights IN every
nook and corner Of your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need il and you don't forget to shut it off
when that need is satisfied, nor do YOU
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value Of a stipulated bin. We in turn
know exactly what we have delivered TO
YOU and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF Is c. p. light per hour is
IL to IL cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.
