THE HONOLULU ROAD BOARD.
A Cynic Has a Kick on the Sub
ject.

Mr.. EDITOR: If any one be-
sides Mr.. Emmeluth thinks the
present Honolulu Road Board is
competent or should continue In
Office one day longer than the law
requires, let him go to the end OF
Judd street and see the result OF q
months work by this very incom-
petent board. The portion of Judd
street beyond Liliha is so little
travelled that the grass had grown
over the greater part of the road
bed; then came this board and
with pillow and harrow put 1t into
very much the condition of cane
field ready for planting. Exten,
sive blasting furnished material
for somebody's stone wall, while a
private fence which has for several
wears obstructed the roadway was
left untouched although in many
places extending a foot into the
cleared road-bed. Now while all
this useless work was making the
road very nasty, the upper part OF
Liliha street close at hand, was
left in a very bad and, at night.
very dangerous condition. How
ever the roads tell the story plain,

ESOTWCtTT II, LOSTs
While the rainy weather is
not pleasant for the pedestrian,
it teaches us to appreciate the
sunshine when it is here. In
addition to this it creates ii
demand for the best steel mat
made-t the Hartmann, of
which we have a stock of
assorted sizes. These Mats
are better than the foot scraper
and will last longer. For
Kauai mud, of the early red
variety, there is nothing to
equal it. Maui mud can be
handled with the same ease
and dexteriety by the use OF
the Hartmann Mat.
Two articles we handle for
plantation use are growing
more popular every day: the
Colorado brands of lubricating
oils and the locked wire fence.
The oils after a trial lasting
more than a year have proven
better than any other oil i'm
ported to these Islands. We
have it in use on nearly all
the plantations and we are
adding new customers to 1T
almost every week. Dynamo,
Engine, Machine, Castor,
Cylinder, Car Box and Red Seal
Valve, make up the list that
covers every branch of
machinery for which oil is
used. Cylinder oil may be
used six times before it begins
to separate; this cannot be
done with any other grade OF
oil.
The Locked Fence is a good
deal like certain varieties OF
cheese, it speaks for itself
Wherever a rod of this fence
has been built we have had
orders from other parties in the
same neighborhood. Strength
and economy are the two
points which commend 1T tC
the public.
Ifyou can get a better article
for less money than you woulo
pay for an inferior one, why
not buy the best, and save
money

DEAF MUTE WILL BE HANGED.

FREDERICTON, N. B., Jan, %, 1S94.-Judge
Barker yesterday sentenced the deaf mute,
Edward M. Wheary, to be hanged on Fri
day, April 20 next, for the murder of his
sister-in-law, Bertha Wheary. The crime
was committed a few miles from
here on Sept. 81 last. Mrs. Wheary's peo-
pie had gone to a prayer meeting and
left the deaf mute and his sister-in-law i'll
| the house. When Bertha's husband re-
turned a couple of hours later he found her
lying in a pool of blood on the floor with her
| skull crushed in and her limbs and body
| horribly gashed. Near the body a blood
stained axe was found. Suspicion pointed at
once toward the deaf mute, but when arrest
ed he denied any knowledge of the crime.
and has lone so all through the trial.
When brought into court yesterday morn
ing the prisoners face bore an expression of
| sadness, which was relieved at times by a
bashful, boyish sort of smile. An sinter-

know who committed it," he said on his
fingers, and the Judge then passed the SEN

Mrs. Wheary was about to give birth to a
child at the time of her death. In his adj
dress to the jury Judge Barker said that
really two lives had been taken by the muir

SUING THE TRACTION COMPANY
Wants $4,000 for Injuries Received
to Person and PFOpertY.

Wants 81 1000 for INJURIES EecelVeu
to Person and Property.
A Jersey City and Bergen electric car ran
into the g of Conrad Zwernemann, at
| Montgomery and Monmouth streets, on
August II, 1898. The wagon was demol-
ished and Zwernemann was thrown to the
ground and seriously injured. He brought
suit in the Supreme Court to recover $4,000
damages, and the trial of the case began this
morning.
The plaintive was represented by Counsel
lors Grouse and Perkins, and the company by
V~redenburgh md Garretson. The testimony
of the plaintiff showed that from the in
juries he received he suffered conclusion of
the brain, and has since his recovery been
deaf in the right ear. He sustained other
injuries about the body, and is troubled with
| vertigo and his memory is defective.
Henry Pike, a witness, testified that he
was a passenger on the electric car, and that
he heard the motorman shout to Zwerne-
mann to make haste and cross the street.
Witness saw the collision and saw the plain
tiff knocked out of his carriage. DR.. Dick
inson corroborated the plaintiffs account of
his injuries, and said he did not believe that
he would ever be a thoroughly well maj
again.
The defence will be that the plaintiff did
not use due diligence, and that he contrib
uted to the accident.
The case will last all day.

change for these, he imported wines

MADRID, Jan. %, 1894.-Owing to the lack
of work and scarcity of food among the
poorer classes in Andsausia, the bandits
there are becoming more numerous and
more daring. Almost daily reports of out
RACES committed by them are received.
A band numbering ten men yesterday de-
seconded upon the town of Benaocaz, sixty
miles from Cadiz. and attacked the residence
OF the wealthiest farmer in that district. A
stout defense was made of the house by its
occupants and the bandits were kept at
a distance by the male members OF the
farmers family and a number OF SER
wants., most of whom had guns. The noise of
the firing drew a large number OF the resi-
dents of the town to the scene, and a COM
bined attack was made on the bandits, who
were finally driven off. Two of them, how
ever. we're captured. During the attack on
farmhouse, the farmer, one of his sons and
