HER CORSET SAVED HER LIFE.
Thomas Colt Sends Two Bullets into the
Dress of His LADY, Love.

Newark, n. j., Nov. 29.-In apparent
dispair over tine refusal of his offer of
marriage, Thomas Colt sent two bullets
intro the body of Miss Carrie Plate and
one in his own head this afternoon.
Miss Plates corset and heavy clothing
saved her life Colt will die. Mss
Plate is daughter of the late Henry
D. Plate, a manufacturer of corks, ait
West Arlington. The family lives in
good style.
Thomas Curtain, conductor of the Ar
lingiUon line, says that about half an
hour prior to THE shooting Colt and Miss
Plate boarded his car near the Erie
bridge. At that time there were two
women in the car who We're acquainted
with Colt and Miss Plate. The quar-
tette chartred and laughed merrily, and
SO far as Curtin could see. neither Colt
nor the young woman acted as II they
ever had a care on their minds. Colt
and his companion, ON leaving the car,
started towards Magnolia avenue, ON
which the Plate mansion stands. They
were at a point aboue 800 feet west OF
KeaTTy avenue when Colt drew re-
volver and fired ait his comDadon. The
ball struck her right arm. She Scream
sd and turned to escape, when her as
saiilaut fired again. The bullet this
time struck Miss Plate at the base of
the spine, but her CORSET and her heavy
apparel probably saved her life, as The
missile glanced off to the ground. A
third time Colt fired, but the bullet
missed its mark. Colt then turned the
weapon on himself and sent bullet
into his own head. +. a. Nhckerson,
who lives on the west side of Magnolia
avenue, ran TO the spot just in time
10 help Miss Plate to the house. She
was able to walk with Mr.. Nickerson's
assistance. Chief of Police Turnbull,
Coroner EXton and DI's. Lightfoot and
Marks applied themselves 10 the case.
As soon as they were satisfied that Miss
Plate was in no danger they had Colt
sent Ito st Michael's hospital There Is
little or TO chance of his recovery.
About a month ago Colt attempted TO
shoot Mss Plate while they were out
walking because she refused TO marry
him Colt rs well known about keaTny.
He was a photographer with gallery
in New York, ard some time ago pub
Eshsd a book entitled Picturesque Ar
Engton-' It was while getting UP this
book that he became acquainted with
the Plates. About two months ago MIR.
Plate died and since that time Colt has
been ID all appearances on closer terms
OF friarsdship With the family than ever.
II IS said that 10 HIM was entrusted
the duty OF looking after the familys
financial affairs. In the vicinity OF TIE

Company D, having been de-

noon, rendered High links to
the latter company at the drill
shed according to previous arrange
ment. The affair went off with
considerable eclat and afforded a
great deal of enjoyment to both
victors and vanquished. During
the course of the evening the feel
ing of depression among the latter
wore off entirely, and they joined
heartily in the sport. Caterer
Chapman furnished a sumptuous
repast. Dancing, singing and
recitations furnished a great deal
of amusement. About one hundred
members of both companies were
present.

Teachers Benefit Society.

There is one subject which might
be ventilated at the summer school
which we believe has never been
mooted in the islands, teachers
benefit society. A large number
of teachers now belong to the ISL
ands who probably will never leave
them. They will not be young
always, and some provision for age
and infrmities should be made
even by those who have the lowest
salaries. Several good plans are in
vogue in other countries, by which
profitable returns are made for
present deprivations. - Anglican

MAUI, august 1.-LasJ year
much complaint was made about
the dry weather, and hard times
and depression of business, was
laid to that cause. But this year
old Jupiter Pluvius seems resolved
that no such cry shall be raised
against him. Tuesday night he
began to pour down his showers
and has kept it up most bounti-
fully to the present time. In con-
sequence irrigation bitches are full
to the brim, cisterns are well sup
piled, roads are muddy, and plan
tation men and ranchers are no
doubt happy. The storm has been
a most general one, covering all
parts of Maui, and is considered
very unusual for this time Of year.
DR.. r. I. Moore, the dentist, from
Honolulu, is at present at DR..

Z. NJ. Walsh, wife and two chill
dren, arrived by the Likelike,
Wednesday morning, and are the
guests of G. H. Dickey, Haiku. Mr..
Walsh is quite a kamaaina in
these parts, Makawao having been
his home for a number of years.
Yesterday morning about 6 80
o'clock, the little steamer Mokolii,
dropped anchor in Kahului bay,
and sailed about an hour later,
with thirteen leper suspects on
board, en- route for the receiving
station in Honolulu. Ten of this
number came from Makawao dis
trict, the balance from Wailuku.
Twelve of them were natives and
one, a Chinaman. Their depart
ure was the occasion of much weep
ing and wailing. The authorities
have been quite assiduous in their
search for such suspects here late
", and have a number more under
surveillance.
Miss Lucy and Mr.. Walter Hay
seldom departed for their home in
Lahaina, last Tuesday afternoon,
after ten days stay at Haiku.
The literary which was to have
occurred at Maunaolu seminary,
was postponed on account of the
weather.
There is talk of a novel camping
party to start out of Makawao
some time in the near future. The
members of the party, names un-
mentioned, are to accomplish their
journey on foot; are to proceed to
Hama, by Huelo way, and from
there on around, circling East
Maui, and expect to do it in mar
velously short space of time.
Whether their courage holds out
long enough for them to make the
attempt remains to be seen.
