a large number of friends gathered at
Senator Rice's beautiful beach house,
| "Kalapaki,' in honor of Mrs. Rosalie
Weir and h T charming daughter, Miss
Mae, the occasion being the eve of their
departure for Honolulu. "Kalapaki," ="
under the skillful manipulation of Mrs
H. D. Wishard, who had charge of the
floral decorations, was transferred into
fairy bower for the occasion. Dancing
and other amusements, with leap year
privileges, were INDUCED in until a late
hour Refreshments were served.
Mrs. Weir and daughter have been
| transferred from the Lihue School,
where they were assistant teachers, and
very pleasantly located at Kalihi-uka,
Honolulu, the mother as principal and
Miss Mae as her assistant. Honolulu
friends will be pleased to hear of the
change.
Mrs. E. E. Richards, the wife of Hilo's
wide awake Representative, is visiting
her old-time friend, Mrs. H. q. Austin,
at Kapaa.
Mrs. r. c.. Spalding of Kealia, accom-
panied by her son, Mr.. o. B. Spalding
of San Francisco, returned to Kealia
from Honolulu by last steamer.
John F. Scott, secretary of the Board
of Education, arrived per Mikahala and
will return with the steamer, accom-
panied by his wife, who has been visit
ing Mrs. H. D. Wishard of Lihue for
the past few weeks.
At Lihue last week there occurred
number of serious accidents, with one
fatality. A bright little native girl of
about Il years, returning from school,
climbed upon one of the cane cars, fell
and was run over. Both of her limbs
were almost severed, just above the
knees. The most horrible feature of the
affair is the fact that she was not no
ticed by anyone, but lay in the hot sun,
bleeding and in agony, for s-veral
hours, when her poor mangled body
was discovered by some natives, who
tossed it into a wheelbarrow and jolted
it away off to the doctors. Fortunately
death came to the relief of the little
sufferer a few hours later.
A workman on the Lihue plantation
fell beneath one of the cars and ceceiv-
ed a blow from an iron bolt that pene-
trated the skull. The chances for his
recovery are said to be slight.
An educated Japanese and his wife,
the former in the employ of G. H. Bis
hop of Lihue, the latter lady of con-
siderable refinement and culture, were
out driving Sunday evening, when they
met with an accident which may result
in the death of the little lady. 1t ap-
pears that the German boys, who are
in the habit of racing their horses at a
furious rate upon the public highways
herea bouts, in defiance of repeated eau
tiOns from the police and others, came
dashing along behind the japanese and
his wife, and Notwithstanding the latter
carried light, plainly visible, the boys
paid no attention and rushed upon
them. The center horse reared and
plunged, planting his fore-feet fairly in |
the small of the back of the Japanese
lady, and then fell upon her, crushing
her, her husband and the brake. The
light was extinguished, and there in the
darkness and the night this unfortunate
couple were left upon the Government |
road, unconscious and alone, until dis
covered by some passers by, who car
ried them into DR.. Walters, near whose |
residence the accident occurred. The |
young man, Oshida, is not seriously |
hurt, but the wife is, and at last ac-
counts it was thought not advisable to |
remove her from the doctors premises. |
The German lads have been arrested. |
One of them admitted his connection !
with the affair and offered to pay his |
share of the damage caused. The other |
two denied any knowledge of it, and are
held under $500 bonds for trial One /
