The public statements that the
new reservoir is leaking have caused
great alarm among the residents be-
low Punchbowl. The INDEPENDENT
has been unable to gather all the
facts connected with this matter,
and we suggest to Minister King
that committee of experts be ap-
pointed without delay to report on
the condition of the new structure.
Honolulu cannot afford to suffer a
a Johnstown accident. If the reser-
vor is leaking the natural conse-
quences will be that the structure
will give way aud that flood will
take place which eventually will
cost many lives and destroy much
property. The fears of the residents
in the vicinity of the reservoir may
be unfounded. At the came time
we do not think that the Govern.
ment can afford to leave loophole
open through which further dam,
aging responsibilities may be laid on
its shoulders. If the Government
as usual should be unable to find
proper men to investigate and re-
port, we beg to suggest the follow
ing gentlemen whose services un-
doubtedly can be procured without
remuneration; G. B. Wilson, John
Phillips, j. Emmeluth, e. 3. Thomas,
t. B. Walker, or any other skilled
mechanic who can pronounce just
verdict and set at rest the uneasi-
ness which now prevails.

Getting Ready for bushes

Manager L. J. S. Greene and his
assistants are now engaged in getting
the old Thompson foundry building
on Twent fourth street in readiness
to allow the Novelty Manufacturing
company to commence operations.
The machinery and several of the
employees and their families have ar
rived in Rock Island, and save a few
details the institution is about pre-
pared to start manufacturing goods.
Mr.. Greene contemplates the erection
of an Office on the NORTH. end of the
building and the necessary outbuild-
ings are now in course of construc-
tion. The Novelty Manufacturing
company. Manager Greene asserts, is
no infant enterprise. 1t was started
five years ago and has worked up
quite reputation. especially in the
agricultural districts, where the sew
eral novelties manufactured are more
used. The articles made are of
a light kind, such as windmill regu-
lators, stock waterers, knife and
scissor sharpeners, ETC., and conse-
quently do not require an extensive
outlay in their manufacture. New
novelties are constantly added. and
with the molding Of heavy castings
and the like, which the company
ultimately intends branching out
into. Manager Greene feels that time
will witness the growth of a thriv-
Ing institution in our midst. Mr..
Greene states that Rock Islands
shipping facilities are far superior
to any OF its surrounding sisters.
and this fact, linked with its natural
beauty and healthfulness, should, in
his opinion. be great inducement
to many factories which are
laboring under many disadvantages
to move here. The Novelty Manu-.
featuring company will begin with
about ten men. and Mr.. Greene SAWS
to fill spring orders will require no
little hustling.

said, "as Moultrie has always prided

kind that has ever occurred there

occurrence more than they can tell,

act and the officers attempted to
learn something of his identity.
He confessed that he had shot Con-

to kill him. but refused to state his
object. or to disclose any informa-

Arrested For AreOn-

Chris Larson was arrested today
on suspicion of being responsible for
the several mysterious fires breaking
out in the boarding house of William
Stolz in Moline during the past few
days. Larson has been q sort OF
roustabout around the house for
three years and his actions since the
fire have been those of a guilty man
Yesterday while Chief Kittilsen and
Fire Chief Reese were inspecting the
building fire broke out in an upper
bed room. Larson was up stairs at
the time. The fires always original
ed in the beds and it is believed
PHOSPHORUS was used to start them.
Larson acts very queerly and it is sup
posed that he is the right person and
has mania for starting fires.

Last Evenings Alarm.

An old 2-story frame dwelling at
215 Third avenue was being rapidly
enveloped in flames when the Central
and downtown fire companies arrived
on the scene about 1880 last evening.
The building is occupied by the fam
lilies of Anton York and James Stew
art. The family in the lower apart
ment started a roaring fire in
the heating stove and then went
away from the house for awhile. The
curtain soon was ablaze and the
flames had followed up the wall and
were eating away at the roof before
the department arrived. The build.
ing is an old land mark and the slight
damage done it is not considered.
while the families suffered nominal
damage to furniture.
