ARTHUR FITZGERALD FAILS TO
ESCAPE PRISON.
Is Thrown Into the Dungeon and De-
MED All Liberties-IIas Caused Jai-
lor Low No End of Trouble.

Arthur Fitzgerald, jockey, sport,
crook, highwayman, who is doing
three years time in Oahu prison for
attempting to kill policeman last
year, made an unsuccessful attempt
this morning to end Chief Luna
Burke's earthly existence.
Burke was too quick for Fitzgerald,
and with the assistance of a treach-
erous looking rifle. quickly subdued
his assailant. Fitzgerald is now in the
dungeon living on half rations.
For some time Fitzgerald has been
causing Jailor Low and the prison of
ficinls no end of trouble. He was
committed to the reef about eight
months ago and from the moment he
ly and obstinate.
Fitzgerald's first offense was Il
deadly assault upon Sam Stone. one
of the native prison guards. Fortu-
nately for Stone two other prison
guards rushed to his assistance and
prevented Fitzgerald from making his
escape.
Lately Fitzgerald has refused to
work. 1t was not safe to allow him
to go out with gang of prisoners to
work on the rOaUS unless lntGe WAS
an extra guard sent along to watch
him.
Jailor Low has now placed his un-
ruly boarder in solitary confinement
with half rations. He has also order
ed that all small liberties granted the
other prisoners be denied Fitzgerald.
Arthur Fitzgerald has had a very
checkered career. He came to the Is
lands several years ago and was EN-
ployed by the late Charles L. Carter.
as a coachman. He was a neat ap-
pearing fellow and was rather bright.
His first crime was holding up a
Chinaman on the Pail road and beat
ing him nearly to death.
Fitzgerald has an accomplice who
"peached" on him. He was next heard
of when he carried off the Tramway
safe containing over $500. When the
officers attempted to arrest him. Fitz.
gerald showed fight and shot the of.

RAILROADS TO HAUL $4,000 TONS
OF HAWAIIAN SUGAR.
Mr.. Atherton Tells of the Plans Form
ed by the Planters Eva and
Onomea's Crop.

President j. b. Atherton of Castle
n Cooke, said this morning in an in
tcrview that $4,000 tons of Hawaiian
sugar would be shipped to New York
next season.
Fifty thousand tons must go across
the United States to the metropolis
for we have entered into a contract
with the railroads to ship that
amount. The remaining 10000 tons
will be shipped by water via Cape
Horn
"Will the planters all agree as 70
how their sugar will be shipped?"
There will be no difficulty on that
score. There will be some who will
want to ship via the Horn because the
rates are cheaper but then there are
others who will want to ship direct
by steamer and rail to New York for
fear of their sugar detcrioratiug. The
whole thing will even up satisfactor1-
ly to all in the compact and the rail
roads will get their 10000 tons"
How will Ewa's crop be shipped"
"In all likelihood by water via the
Horn" replied Mr. Atherton. 1--WE are
not afraid of Ewas sugar deteriorat-
ing. | had some sugar from Ewa's
first crop enclosed in a sealed bottle
and kept it constantly in my desk un-
til three weeks ago when | had it OPP
ened. The pulverization proved to be
higher than the first test. Mr.. LowrIe
the manager of Eva placed some OF
this same sugar in corked bottle and
before leaving for the States had it
analyzed. The sugar was found to be
slightly better in quality that when
it was bottled.
'Onomea crop is equally as fortu-
nate"
Mr.. Atherton was asked what was
the cause for some sugar decorating.
He answered that this was a mystery.
1t is not known whether it is due to
climatic conditions, the sail or for
what reason.

CROWN GOODS TO BE DISPOSED
OF At AUCTION.
The Government Issues instructions
Concerning Articles From the Reign
of Kamehamehas and Kalakaua.

Relic collectors in this city are anx-
iously awaiting the time set for the
sale of the last of the crown silver,
glass and chinaware used in the time
of the Kamehamehas and Liliuokalani.
The Hawaiian government has issu-
ed instructions to Auctioneer Morgan
to dispose of these articles once used
by the royalty to the highest bidder
at public auction. The goods have
been neatly packed in large dry goods
boxes and moved from the government
building to Morgan's salesroom. The
sale has been fixed for the 18th inst.
Some time ago the government be
gan selling these crown goods at pri-
vate sale. but abandoned that method
and called for tenders. II. +. Wich-
man. the icweler, sent in a tender for
n portion of the croclery, and James
F. Morgan offered a good price for the
entire lot. Nothing was done with
these tenders however.
It was not until recently that the
Cabinet decided to dispose of the
goods at public auction. 1t was con-
sidered by the Executive that this was
the best course. inasmuch as anneNa-
tion seems to be a foregone conclu-
sion. Then again, there have been
many requests from different parties
who are eager to come into possession
of some of the royal articles. The
auctioneer anticipates lively bidding
and the country's Golfers will be much
richer.
The glassware is very fine, and CON
sists of decanters, finger bowls, cham
pagne glasses, port glasses. sherry
glasses. water glasses and many other
pieces. All the glassware are marked
with the royal crown, under which is
inscribed "K. X. L." denoting King
Kalakaua |.
The choicest selection among the
chinaware consists of a wonderfully
rich set of dishes with green border.
1t was known in the royal house as
| the green set. and consists of over
6O0O pieces. The valuable collection
| was present to Kalakaua from the
Emperor of France.
Aside from this set are several 9th
er collections of chinaware, principal
among which is the "blue set" be-
cause of blue bordering. All the
chnaware. including the green set.
| has the royal monogram marked in
the center Of each plate.
The silver pieces to be sold are all
very elaborate and consist of beef
steak trays, hot water dishes, veget-
able dishes and many other pieces.
There is also a good deal of crock
cry in the collection.
Many historical articles from the
reigns of the KamchamehaS and Kal-
akaua will be offered.
| \ pair of crowns and other orna-
ments from Kalakaua's uniform will
! be sold.
Altogether this sale of royalty's
goods will he the most interesting ev.
err seen in Honolulu.

THIEVES GET NO BOOTY.
Scared Away With Their Hands Al
most on the Treasure.

The cabin of 5. Kaniyama, Japa-
nese servant in the employ of Miss
Peabody, was entered by thieves be-
tween the hours of and 10 o'cIocil
last evening, and trunk containing
drafts and cash to the amount of over
$1,000 carried off. The thieves got no
booty however for they were frighten-
ed away after having carried the
trunk few hundred yards and open
ed it, leaving the treasure behind
them.
Kaniyama and his wife reside on
Vineyard street, near the river, and
keep their earnings in the aforesaid
trunk, which, together with a dozen
trunks belonging to their mistress, is
kept i'm store room. They were eel
ebrating the Emperor's birthday last
evening and absent from home.
The thieves evidently knew where the
money was kept, for they forced the
door and removed but the one trunk,
carrying il to the bank of the river
and forcing off the lid. Someone must
have given them bad scare, for they
took to their heels without touching
the heavy bag containing the money,
which lay in plain sight. There were
in the bag four drafts aggregating
S9l2.50 and $40 in gold.
Detective KAPPA was notified of the
robbery soon after 10 o'clock last
night and was not long in finding the
trunk, but has not yet come up with
the thieves. He thinks that two men

THE HALSTEAD RESIDENCE.
Plans Completed for a Beautiful Home
in Makiki.

The plans for Robert Halstead's
new residence in Makiki have Just
been completed by Howard &Tran,
the architects, and it is likely thar
tenders will soon be advertised for.
The site chosen for the building is a
very fine one, at the corner of MAXI
lli and Haulu streets. Extensive
grounds will surround the residence.
and it can be made very beautiful.
The house is to be frame, of hand
some design and modern in every par
ticular Outside effects have been sac
rificed to interior comforts. The
ground plan is 66N46 feet, exclusive of
the kitchen. which is separate build
ing, connected with the main build
ing by a latticed poarch. The char
acteristics of the exterior are a large
lanai, a broad veranda running along
two sides of the building and cor
ner tower with bay windows.
The main entrance, from the lanai
is very fine, opening into pleasant
reception room. From the last named
apartment an arched doorway leads
into grand parlor, broad and light
and airy, which, again is connected
with beautifully wainscoated dining
room. These three rooms with the la
lai afford room for the entertainment
of large party of friends. The bed
rooms of Mr.. and Mrs. Halstead are
also on the lower floor, and are mod
els of roominess and comfort. They
are fitted out with dressing and bath
rooms and every convenience known
to the modern house builder.
There are four large bed rooms on
the upper floor, each with bath and
dressing rooms. The upper hallway
opens upon broad covered balcony,
cool and inviting. The interior fin.
ish of the house will be the best and
the floors of polished wood through
out. A novelty is a big china closet
in the dining room. The kitchen Is
broad and airy, and fitted with al
modern conveniences.
The residence when completed will
cost something like $1,000. 1t will be
a credit not only to the architects and
owner, but to the city as well.

and leave them from month to
month unfinished. There are in

deposits of coarse stone make
